BJ is once again joined by Fistful of Dave and Joey Haynie for a shameless sequel to the most downloaded episode of Rock and/or Roll, episode 91: SAD BUT TRUE, a dismantling of the Black Album. On this episode they take apart Metallica's misguided follow-ups to that Diamond seller, LOAD and RELOAD.

Originally released in October 2013 and September 2014.RA/OR 17:Badfinger were the first band signed by The Beatles when they launched their own record label Apple Records in 1968 and the band had several hits before the harsh reality of the corrupt record industry came crashing down on their hopes and dreams. The band's song "Baby Blue" was prominently featured in the finale of Breaking Bad and sold 5300 downloads that night on iTunes. On this episode BJ tells the tragic story of the band but also celebrates the amazing songwriters that they were, especially true genius Pete Ham.RA/OR 51:BJ presents an overview of the lamentably short career of one of his favorite unsung rock bands of the seventies, a terrific band called Artful Dodger.

BJ is joined by Eric Miller and Jon Lamoreaux for the resurrection of the Songs of the Knight series originally presented by the Pods & Sods Network. For this episode they have an in depth discussion about Billy Squier's seventh album Creatures of Habit from 1991. Hear the previous episodes here: https://podsodcast.com/?s=songs+of+the+knight

This is a re-edited version of an episode I had finished and ready to go when the RIAA brought the smackdown in August 2020.  An answer song is a song made in response to a previous song, normally by another artist. The concept became widespread in blues and R&B recorded music in the 1930s to the 1950s. Answer songs were also extremely popular in country music in the 1950s and 1960s, most often as female responses to an original hit by a male artist. In Rock Eras: Interpretations of Music and Society, Jim Curtis says that: "Answer songs rode on the coattails, as it were, of the popularity of the first song, and resembled parodies in that their success depended on a knowledge of the original. Answer songs were usually one-hit flukes by unknown singers whose lack of identity did not detract from the success of the record since only the song, and not the performer, mattered."

A special encore presentation of a classic episode from 2016. It's about time! BJ is once again joined by Craig Smith and Eric Miller from The Pods & Sods Network for another round of No Shame
