Ep. 51: La Bamba (1987)

from Good Times Great Movies · host Douglas McCambridge & Jamie Lorello

While Rock and Roll was all the rage in 1957, High School students Doug and Jamie struggled to book gigs as nobody wanted to hear polka music. They caught a break after landing the former lead singer of The Silhouettes only to quickly discover that his voice was embarrassingly awful and his sax playing was suspect at best. A week later the band broke up and the pair concentrated on their studies, which is what teenagers should do. Don’t follow your dreams because stars fall out the sky…or something like that.

Running In Slow Motion with Sidney & Tamra Smith You Hear Good Things podcast network Comedian Sidney Smith and his wife Tamra — a sharp-witted educator with a soft spot for flowers — team up to navigate life, goals, and culture at their own hilarious, at times, in-depth pace. They call it “running in slow motion,” and that pretty much sums up the vibe. This isn’t a marriage podcast (their union ranks a generous 5 out of 10, after all), but it is a refreshingly honest, smart, and funny take on relationships, ambition, and everyday chaos. From real talk to pop culture and unexpected interviews, it’s a joyride of relatable moments and laugh-out-loud observations. Explicit
