Ep 17: Too Fast For Love

How do you follow up an epic two part magnum opus that covers an entire film franchise? How about with a single episode that is even longer than both of those parts combined about an album that was recorded for a few hundred bucks that is mainly notable for its cliched, goofy nonsense lyrics and the most cowbell ever used on a rock album? That’s right, this week, your hosts, Jeff Sixx and Slip Neil, take you back to the beginning of the Sunset Strip, to the genesis of hair metal to cover Motley Crue’s accidental disaster-piece: Too Fast For Love. We make no bones about our affection for this album, and that’s obvious, because we can’t shut up about the damn thing. Does it stand the test of time? Yeah, of course, it does! We explain (and explain and explain) why and also learn… What a travel agency is (or I should say, was) Why you should probably never visit a strip club (especially on a Tuesday at lunch time) If the collective IQs of Motley Crue break the century mark How Tommy Lee actually played the cowbell Why Vince Neil should have paid closer attention to the lyrics of “Public Enemy #1” What Gidget star Sandra Dee has to do with “electric love”  Why this episode could be called “Rear Traction” Check us out on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/culturalfutures/) for links and additional content related to this and other episodes as well as clues to upcoming shows or write to us at [email protected] All audio clips are used under the "Fair Use" Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act in 1976; Allowance is made for "Fair Use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
