In this episode of Prisoners of Rock and Roll, we’re stage-diving into the sweaty, dusty madness of Lollapalooza—a festival that started as a punk-rock farewell tour and turned into a genre-crushing, culture-shaping juggernaut with more lives than Keith Richards.Lollapalooza launched in 1991 as a sendoff for Jane’s Addiction—but it hit the road just as grunge was blowing up and quickly turned into something way bigger. It wasn’t just a tour—it was a movement. A 20-city, 20,000-screaming-fans-a-night, punk rock circus on wheels.By ‘92, Pearl Jam was leaping into mosh pits, Red Hot Chili Peppers were funking up the chaos, and Rage Against the Machine stood naked on stage in Philly, duct tape over their mouths in a silent protest against censorship. This wasn’t peace and love—it was rebellion with a PA system.Sure, it stumbled—people accused it of selling out. Then it died in ‘98, flopped in ‘04—but like any great rock act, it made a comeback. And Chicago’s Grant Park became its home base. From tattoo tents to $400 VIP wristbands, Lollapalooza has been underground, mainstream, gritty, glossy—always evolving, always loud.So throw on your ripped flannel or your festival wristband—we’re digging into the birth, the chaos, the reinventions, and the legacy of a festival that didn’t just play the game—it rewrote it.Episode PlaylistCheck out our episode playlist here.Get In TouchCheck us out online, on Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube. or drops us an email at show@prisonersofrockandroll.com.Or if you're in Philadelphia, come visit our home base at McCusker's Tavern.Prisoners of Rock and Roll is part of Pantheon Media.

As long-time followers of our show are aware, The Wolf and Action Jackson are HUGE Led Zeppelin fans. When it was announced several years back that there would be a Led Zep documentary coming, we were psyched and knew that we'd not only have to go see it on the big screen but do a review on UAWIL. However, we we didn't know that director Bernard MacMahon had not only unearthed and cleaned up video of a performance by the band in Bath from 1969, but he also uncovered a never-before-heard audio interview of John Bonham. Thanks to that interview, he was able to get reflections from all four members of Led Zeppelin on their journey to becoming the biggest band in the world.Instead of being a complete career retrospective, this film focused on the back stories of each member - how they grew up, when they became fascinated with rock music, which artists turned them on and how they found their way into the music business. Most fans know that Jimmy Page was on tv with his skiffle group as a kid before becoming a premier session guitarist in London. But did you know that John Paul Jones learned so much from his father, pianist John Baldwin, and was a choirmaster at age 14? Did you know Robert Plant would try many different types of groups, hairstyles and scenes before he ever became a Golden God? Learning how Jimmy Page put the first record together so he would have leverage with record companies to not only get better royalties but to not be forced into releasing singles is just one amazing insight into how Led Zeppelin became the juggernaut, especially in the US, that would define their legacy.Action went to great lengths to see this movie and offer his perspective so give us a listen and see this film in the theaters while you can - the video and sound is amazing!!Check out our new website: Ugly American Werewolf in London WebsiteVisit our sponsor RareVinyl.com and use the code UGLY to save 10%!TwitterThreadsInstagramYouTubeLInkTreewww.pantheonpodcasts.com Learn more about your ad choices.

For those who haven't caught up with episode 183 of LTA, I came up withthe idea of speaking with a range of previous guests from the show(musicians, podcasters, TV and radio broadcasters) to talk with meabout their earliest recollections of walking into the sacred templethat is a record / CD store. I wanted to know what drew them to thestores they went to, what the guys / gals behind the counter werelike, hijinks that went on in the stores, how their musical tasteswere influenced by LPs they discovered for the first time in saidstores.Welcome to episode 184 of Love That Album.I had 10 conversations with 11 people (was hoping for a 12th,but.......life happens). Too many for one episode, so I divided theconversations into two parts. For this second part of therecollections of record stores, I speak with the followingmagnificent bastards:Eric “Reanimator” Peterson – ex-host of Love That Album: TheCompilation EditionBen Eisen and Shannon Hurley – Host and Numbers Girl of All Time TopTen podcast and partners in the duo Lovers And PoetsMike White – Host of The Projection Booth and a ton of other great showsat Weirding Way MediaMichael Pursche – Host of Sitting In a Bar In Adelaide on Lofty 88.9 Radioin the Adelaide HillsTim Merrill – My co host at See Hear and all-round wonderful humanbeing.I had a marvellous time finding out a ton of things about their recordstores, really a wonderful part of their personal history, and theirtowns' history.
