Dr. Jennifer Otter Bickerdike - Eternal Flame: The Authorized Biography of The Bangles

The Mike Gormley Show

THE MIKE GORMLEY SHOW Featuring Dr. Jennifer Otter Bickerdike, Author of "Eternal Flame: The Authorized Biography of The Bangles"

Professor Jennifer Otter Bickerdike is a rock & roll cultural historian and author, working across music heritage, fandom, broadcast and academia.

Once upon a time, Mike Gormley managed The Bangles. He even contributed to Jenn's book with stories of his experience with the band. In this peek behind the music curtain, Mike and Jenn talk about The Bangles and a shared rich music history.

"Eternal Flame: The Authorized Biography of The Bangles"

The authorized biography of the quintessential ’80s pop band The Bangles, who scored massive hits with “Manic Monday,” Walk Like an Egyptian,” “Hazy Shade of Winter,” and more   From their first meeting in 1981, the Bangles were ambitious, focused, and intentional; their hard-work and determination resulted in millions of records sold across the globe, before becoming the first all-girl band to have five “Top 10” hits. Not long after coming together, they toured the world, released #1 records, and collaborated with the biggest artists of the day. They seemed unstoppable—until tensions within the band, artistic differences, and the pressures of sudden celebrity tore them apart less than a decade later.
 

Dynamic, daring, and deliciously entertaining from start to finish, ETERNAL FLAME is a tribute to one of the greatest pop bands of the 20th century—and a long-overdue corrective that restores The Bangles to their rightful place in music history as feminist trailblazers.
