Famous Lost Words

This Week: Hear Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham in separate interviews from the early '80s talking about their solo work, but more importantly, their ongoing battles within Fleetwood Mac. ​​Plus Tom tells us some fascinating facts from the Nicks biography - including the very famous rock star who was the love of Stevie's life (and no, it's not Lindsey or Don Henley or Tom Petty)! And Christoph...

This week, we rewind to 1973 as Burton expounds on everything from The Guess Who to the future of music.  ​We also have an amazing 1996 chat with Sheryl Crow, who tells us about dealing with her massive hit "All I Wanna Do".  She also tells us about her experience touring as a backup singer for Michael Jackson. Stephen Stills attacks our very own Tom Jokic - and John Lennon attacks The Rolling Sto...

This week- A late '60s/early '70s chat with Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones - talking about their biggest hits, where they surpass the Beatles and dealing with the police around the world.   On "When Rock Stars Attack" - The Guess Who's Burton Cummings lays waste to the glam rock stars (but is David Bowie really the right target?). A 1987 interview with Dave Stewart of Eurtyhmics - who tells...

This week on Famous Lost Words - we have a hilarious 1981 interview with (a surprisingly lucid) Ozzy Osborne.   We also have a fascinating chat with Beatles producer George Martin who talked about when it all started to fall apart for the Fab Four, working with the surviving Beatles and how he found out about the death of John Lennon.   We'll also play you the absolute worst clip from our vaults a...

This week: We have a fascinating interview with the great Joni Mitchell from 1995.  Not only is Joni one of the most accomplished singer/songwriter/musicians ever, she is an incredibly well spoken interview subject. We also have two minutes from the biggest name in rock and roll ever - Elvis Presley.  The King reveals more in those two minutes than most people do in half an hour.   And we go back...

One of the greatest songwriters of all time – Paul Simon – tells us about his craft in an early ‘70s interview.  From 2006, we have a great chat with The Killers upon the release of their second album.  (You’ll be surprised at what ‘80s hit they love!)  Also, we chat with a guy who was involved in two of the greatest albums ever (clue: they were “Abbey Road” and “Dark Side Of The Moon”) and we’ll...

U2 were young and idealistic when they talked to us in 1980.  They talk passionately about their music, their country and their fans.  And you'll hear Bono get genuinely pissed off when talking about the song "Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who. We also have a great early interview with Lady Gaga from 2008 - as "Just Dance" was hitting #1 around the world.  Plus we go back to 1984 with Montreal's...

We have a interview with Elton John from the early '70s. He tells us about his relationship with Bernie Taupin, and the ONE reason he decided to come to North America in 1970 We will play you the one and only "interview" we have with Michael Jackson. Be forewarned... that "interview" is only 45 seconds long... but it's actually pretty amazing! We have a rare interview with punk pioneers The Ramone...

We've got two different interviews with The Police which paint a complete picture of the band. We'll discuss what made they different, what made them successful and what ultimately tore them apart. A pretty feisty interview with Chrissie Hynde from 1979, in which Chrissie defiantly talks about making pop music, but dodges a question about why she ended up in the back of a cop car. Finally we have...

This week on Famous Lost Words – a 1978 interview with the incomparable David Bowie who talks about live performances, musical trends and the one thing that he would never, ever do. We also have an interview with a very happy and upbeat Michael Hutchence of INXS - only 7 months before he died. Also, some wild backstage audio from Fleetwood Mac just after the release of "Rumours". And of course, we...

An early-career interview with the great Tom Petty – just as his career was ready to explode. Also, we’ll hear the worst interview Christopher has ever done – or was it? Plus we talk to one of the greatest songwriters of all time and we’ll tell you a very funny story of rock star mistaken identity – told by a pretty famous rock star himself!

A very rare interview with Prince from 2010 - He’s in a reflective and playful mood in this fascinating chat. We also have a 1988 interview with Robert Plant as he comes to terms with his Led Zeppelin legacy – and how he REALLY feels about “Stairway To Heaven” (you won’t believe what he calls it). Also, Christopher tells us the BEST ROBERT PLANT STORY YOU’LL EVER HEAR! We also feature a very enter...

This week: A great mid-‘80s interview with Peter Frampton who talks about having to escape the life of being a pop idol – so he turned to one of his best friends, David Bowie. Bowie’s advice for Frampton was pretty wonderful and kind of surprising. Christopher turns back the clock on a mid-‘90s chat that he had with the legendary Leonard Cohen. Plus the Cowboy Junkies AND an early career interview...

This week: Lou Gramm deals with the backlash from his Foreigner bandmates when he releases his successful solo album. John Mayer in a weird and wonderful 2006 interview with Roger Ashby & Marilyn Denis Chantal Kreviazuk on the difference between working with Gwen Stefani and her own husband... and a peek at the utter mayhem backstage at a Rod Stewart concert in the '70s
