In this, the 2nd episode of SONGMINE (Side A) Chris & Andy begin by wishing Robbie a happy birthday, noting he shares the same date with a certain boomer rocker legend while taking the opportunity to both salute the classic canon of rock & roll as well allowing all the generations since, some long-deserved oxygen and breathing room in the continuing ‘dig’ of geeked-out conversation. Later in this first hour, Andy & Robbie join Chris in respect and reflection regarding the up and down life of the late Sinead O’Connor.
By the end of side A, Robbie poses a major question; “country?”.
Side B (hour 2 STREAMING/Podcast ONLY) starts with a challenge to Robbie's 'dogma' and Chris' lovingly roasting of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' back catalog. Later the guys cause a radio riot as Andy watches with wide eyes and popcorn while Robbie & Chris hotly debate the merits and evolution in thinking regarding artists with ‘problematic pasts’. Of course, SONGMINE digs a bit deeper where pressures may get intense. Thus, SONGMINE digs into a logical progression within personal ideologies upon confrontation with these hard questions. Where do we draw the line when celebrating art gifted to an ever-evolving, more socially responsible world of cultures?
Maybe it all just starts with dancing. We hope so.
Welcome back into the mine. SONGMINE.
