Ryan’s Rocket Man

Send us Fan MailIn this series, we’ve been spending time with artists who didn’t just make hits — they rewired popular music itself.Some of them crashed.Some of them burned out.Some of them never got old enough to figure out who they might have become.In the previous episode, we talked about Michael Jackson — a man whose genius was wrapped in pressure, pain, and dependency, and whose life ended in an overdose in a rented mansion in Los Angeles.Today’s story easily could have ended the same way.But it didn’t.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.
