This week, it's part 1 of my discussion with
Brian Salvatore about musical blindspots with Brian listening to Living
Colour while I dig into early solo Beatles records. Listen to the
episode below or download directly.
Show notes:
- Brian listened to Vivid, Jay listened to John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band

- Very raw, exposed album for Lennon
- Lennon didn't release many albums before he died
- Yoko plays "the wind"
- Embarrassment of riches after Beatles broke up
- The Living Colour/In Living Color conundrum
- Brian: Not a misplaced note on this album
- Impressed with the political content
- Jay: Saw videos on MTV and taped a concert off the radio back in '88
- Vivid was out for over a year before "Cult of Personality" hit big
- Living Colour confounded expectations
- Mick Jagger helped get them a record deal
- Next: Jay listens to McCartney's Ram and Brian checks out LC's Time's Up
