Corin and Carrie reflect on whether it’s better to just get electrocuted than to cover your mic with someone’s sock; who stunk them out of their dressing room at Colorado’s legendary Red Rocks Amphitheater; and how the glamour and the squalor are never far apart on the road.
Jazz Singer Tierney Sutton tells us about being Clint Eastwood’s muse; what it’s like to attend the same seder as Barbra Streisand; and whether she was the motive for a famous showbiz murder in the '90s.
Jody Porter tells us about the time Lemmy from Motorhead got tongue-tied around Joni Mitchell: what’s it like to live with The Who's John Entwistle; and the genius of bandmate Adam Schlesinger who passed away from Covid in 2020.
Joey Santiago riffs on what it’s like to have been worshipped by Kurt Cobain; how to put a guy in the hospital with a guitar solo; and why his least favorite Pixies song to play is “Monkey Gone to Heaven.”
Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley haul out their views on rockstar bathroom etiquette; being on tour when Covid hit; and the time the Commodores serenaded Governor George Wallace.
Zia McCabe tells us about blowing bubbles on David Bowie; how she fooled her bandmates into believing her newborn daughter was one of the roadies; and what it’s like to star in a real-life mockumentary.
Matt Walker shares the inside scoop on what it's like to work with two of the most brilliant and challenging guys in rock music (Morrissey and Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan); how he was forced to lie to a Russian border guard when touring with Garbage; and why destroying a drum kit each night is better than taking Xanax.
Please note: Matt's audio quality during the conversation is a bit rough -- a hazard of recording over the Internet during the pandemic. But it's a great conversation that's worth a close listen. Thanks for understanding.
Todd Sucherman gives the lowdown on what it's like playing the late night TV circuit with David, Nigel and Derek; why he never wears white when on stage with wild animals; and how surreal it was to play with David Hasselhoff at the Tribute Concert for Princess Diana.
To the average viewer, This is Spinal Tap is one of the funniest effing films of all time. But to your average musician, it's a therapy session that triggers flashbacks of all those effing times on stage, on the road, or in the studio when things went either wildly wrong...or just plain weird. In the Biz, these are known as Spinal Tap Moments. On the podcast, Too Much Effing Perspective, musicians and entertainers share their untold, unfiltered, and often unbelievable Spinal Tap Moments. But Spinal Moments aren't just for entertainers, they happen to each and every one of us -- they're universal. To learn more visit www.tmepshow.com
