The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll

Someone had the idea to start a meme, in tribute if you will, to the elders. All genres, all artists, all that matters! Healthy discussions (lookin' at you, Facebook friends!) are a good thing, but try to be kind!
What's cool is the variety of amazing artists, well past full retirement age, who've decided that playing on the back porch is "for old folks!" So they go on: recording albums, playing live tours, recording albums of live tours, and more! Soooo, The Imbalanced Boys SALUTE them all in this week's episode.
There are a few fun realizations along the way...

When Markus told Ray about his love of Traffic, it sparked a conversation that spills into this episode. Proving we all have our own path, Markus notes When The Eagle Flies as his favorite, while Ray prefers Low Spark... That led to discussion of Blind Faith, a 1969 side project, which the Boys discuss as well.
It's a different-angle perspective and an exploration of an amazing musical trek that draws in a number interesting characters beyond the core characters!

Even if your podcast guest is an old friend, you never know what might come up, or what you might learn! That's the case with Philly native (and killer drummer) Johnny Dee (Doro, Tyketto, Britny Fox, Waysted) who beams in from Germany, just as festival season is getting started!
The Imbalanced Boys discuss his early days in the bands, leading up to Britny Fox, the days of the "Dirty Jersey" scene, and his recent marking of thirty years "in the seat" with Doro Pesch & more!
There are also a couple fun surprises that are part of this episode! So lock it in, and let's go!

When the Imbalanced Boys were 25 episodes into this podcast, they made the move to Pantheon! The occasion fell on the same day as Bruce Springsteen's 70th birthday, so it was a natural to feature his story.
In the 325 episodes since then, Markus & Ray have covered so many topics and artists, with many more to come! 350 down! 350 to go? Time will tell...

To understand the story of Joy Division, and how they became New Order requires some patience, and much more. The "why?" in the equation is also discussed, including the lack of support in the area of mental health in that era. The suicide of Ian Curtis might have crashed most bands, but the survivors carried on with a New Order! The impact of Joy Division carries on today.
The full story unfolds in this episode: joy, pain, recovery, fortitude and incredible music!
Tom Taylor wrote an article about Ian Curtis's final days for Far Out Magazine here!
