Ep 312 - Tom Cochrane, ABC, BB King and artists who Shoulda Known Better!

from Famous Lost Words · host Bell Media

When we spoke to Tom Cochrane in 1991, “Life Is A Highway” was just about to make him a superstar.  Tom talks about being a songwriter as opposed to a rock star and why the song “Lunatic Fringe” was a political song for him (and still resonates today).           Also, a 1982 interview with Martin Fry of ABC as their dance classic “The Lexicon Of Love” was defining the music of the ‘80s.           Plus, the legendary BB King reflects on his achievements in a 1977 chat. And Christopher and Tom introduce a new segment called “They Shoulda Known Better” – bad decisions by famous musicians, who should have known better!  (David Lee Roth, are you listening?)
