Rich and Danny spend more than an hour-and-a-half digging into the brilliant music made by Huey Lewis & The News. They explore the nuances and attention to detail for which the band was famous. They discuss the groups undeniable influence on all pop music over the past thirty years, and even select their favorite bands of the 21st century that they see as the heirs apparent to the Huey Lewis & The News legacy. Okay, none of that is true, but the guys do celebrate Huey Lewis & The News as the everyman band that hit it big.

This week Rich and Danny finally feel ready to pay homage to one of the great musical minds of our time. Quincy Jones passed away in November, and the boys have taken the time to bring together what they feel is a good representation of his career through the music that he wrote, produced and arranged. And folks the music this week is just superb. This show doesn’t get to work with a catalog that is this deep and this diverse very often. Rich and Danny take full advantage of its magnificence.

Rich and Danny take some time (but not enough time) to wish the great Willie Nelson a happy 92nd birthday. Really, this show is them playing a bunch of his songs and just kind of marveling at the depth and breadth of his crazy remarkable career. Listen to them fanboy if you want, but the music on this show is – obviously – amazing.

Rich and Danny indulge themselves in 80’s nostalgia as they discuss the biggest television show of their teenage years, and break down the significant influence Miami Vice had on the music industry back in the day.

Tonight Rich and Danny thoroughly enjoy themselves going through another batch of One Hit Wonders. They actually get along really well on the show tonight. Yes, that’s weird, but don’t let it throw you off. Just enjoy the music.

A topic that Rich suggested, simply because he has been afraid Danny would come to him and want to do a Mr. Roboto Show, or something. He needn’t have worried, however, because Paradise Theatre is the point that Danny regards as the creative peak of Styx, one of his favorite bands. The album tells the story of the venerable old theater in Chicago that opened in 1928 and was torn down exactly 30 years later. Rich talks about how much he admires Tommy Shaw, but not so much with Dennis DeYoung. Danny tolerates it.

Danny takes the week off, and in come Mrs. Moxie and Rich’s dear friend since early childhood, Kate Pehrson, to celebrate the magnificence, the majesty, and the exquisite glory of Cher. Seriously – Rich, his oldest friend, a Drag Queen and Cher. What else do you need?

Rich and Danny go through their complicated relationship with Eric Clapton, and pretty much just gush about his music. It’s that kind of show tonight.
