By 1985, Simple Minds were coming off a #1 album in the UK with Sparkle in the Rain and sales from all around the world. But it only went to #64 in the US and they needed something to spark greater interest across the pond. When Don't You Forget About Me from The Breakfast Club Soundtrack hit #1 in May 1985, a song they originally resisted, they had that spark and built on that success with memorable performance at Live Aid in Philadelphia. Their next album would need to be special to keep the momentum building. New York producer Jimmy Iovine (Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Nicks, Tom Petty) came to London to work with the boys as they welcomed in new bass player John Giblin. He encourage Jim to emote more - to really sing his heart out - in the studio and his soul is captured on Once Upon A Time. Jim's lyrics are optimistic about the future - the native Glaswegians know where they come from (Oh Jungleland) and can be proud of what they've accomplished (Come a Long Way). Alive and Kicking would be the first single to follow up #1 smash Don't You Forget About Me and soared up the charts, thanks in part to a music video shot in the Pocono Mountains - former Simple Minds drummer Mel Gaynor enlightens us with a funny story from that video shoot! They can get political without getting preachy (Ghostdancing) while bringing you to your feet with glorious salvation (Sanctify Yourself). Released October 21, 1985, Once Upon A Time would be the 2nd consecutive #1 in the UK and the 1st gold record for the band in the US. But what if they put Don't You Forget About Me on it? It was already a #1 and hadn't been on a Simple Minds album. The Wolf believes it would have resulted in millions of more sales and fans for the band in the US but that's a debate you'll have to hear!

In this episode of My Rock Moment, I sit down with veteran music journalist Steven Rosen — author of Tonechaser: Understanding Edward: My 26-Year Journey with Edward Van Halen — to uncover the untold story of the man behind the legend: Eddie Van Halen. For more than two decades, Rosen wasn’t just a journalist covering Van Halen, he was a close friend, confidant, and witness to the creative fire that reshaped rock guitar. We revisit that very first night at The Whisky a Go Go, where their friendship began, and talk about the moment Rosen was invited to hear an early cut of Van Halen’s second album — long before the world had any idea what was coming. Steven shares an intimate look at Eddie’s humility, his complex relationship with David Lee Roth, and the moments that defined both the man and the music. Whether you’re a lifelong fan, a guitarist chasing tone, or someone simply curious about the soul behind the sound, this episode peels back the myth to reveal the man.

EPYSODE 58: "Willie Nile", by Willie Nile. Guest: Willie Nile. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. This week we spotlight the electric, poetic debut of Willie Nile, whose 1980 self-titled album emerged straight from the streets of New York’s post-punk underground and instantly drew comparisons to Dylan, Springsteen, and Lou Reed. With exclusive commentary from Willie himself, we revisit the making of this cult classic, recorded in the heart of Manhattan during a time when punk grit met folk wisdom. From the raw energy of “Vagabond Moon” to the street-lit soul of “That’s the Reason,” Nile reflects on the scenes and sounds that shaped his early songs. Discovered by Clive Davis and praised by The Who, this album remains a landmark for fans of literate rock 'n' roll. Whether you're discovering it for the first time or dropping the needle again, this epysode captures the urgency and charm of an artist who’s never stopped chasing truth through song. Spoiler alert: he's still going strong. His newest album may be his best... I hope you dig "Willie Nile" as much as I do. - Farmer John ===CONNECT & SUPPORT=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting us on Patreon using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Use this link to follow us on Facebook --> https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic/ Use this link to follow us on Instagram --> https://www.instagram.com/vinylrelics/ Use this link to follow us on TikTok --> https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylrelicspodcast Use this link to follow us on BlueSky --> https://bsky.app/profile/farmerjohnmusic.bsky.social And find us on X @VinylRelicsPod Email me @ ⁠farmerjohnmusic@gmail.com⁠ ===LINKS=== Check Willie's website for merch, tour info, newsletters and more: https://www.willienile.com   ===THE MUSIC=== Songs used in this Epysode, in order of appearance. Here's a link to a Spotify playlist for all the tracks featured :  https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2sQoDlLmDaWVwdl09nL5k4?si=cb13ab47c0ee49f1 QUILL "Thumbnail Screwdriver" WILLIE NILE "God Laughs" WILLIE NILE "Life On Bleecker Street" BUDDY HOLLY & THE CRICKETS “Peggy Sue” THE BEATLES “I Want To Hold Your Hand” THE WHO “Can’t Explain” TELEVISION “Marquee Moon” TALKING HEADS “Psycho Killer” ROBERT PALMER “Addicted To Love” WILLIE NILE "Vagabond Moon" WILLIE NILE "Dear Lord" WILLIE NILE "It's All Over" WILLIE NILE "Across The River" THE ROLLING STONES “Shattered” THE ROLLING STONES “She’s So Cold” WILLIE NILE "She's So Cold" PATTI SMITH GROUP “Because The Night” WILLIE NILE "I'm Not Waiting" WILLIE NILE "That's The Reason" WILLIE NILE "They'll Build A Statue Of You" WILLIE NILE "Old Men Sleeping On The Bowery" WILLIE NILE "Behind The Cathedral" WILLIE NILE "Sing Me A Song" WILLIE NILE “I Like The Way” WILLIE NILE “Rite Of Spring” WILLIE NILE “Heaven Help The Lonely” WILLIE NILE “Streets Of New York” WILLIE NILE “Children Of Paradise” WILLIE NILE “An Irish Goodbye” WILLIE NILE “One Guitar” ??MYSTERY ARTIST??
