Episode 1: The Fools Anthem journey begins

It's the inaugural episode of Fools Anthem, where two fools muse about their love of music -  discovering, listening, watching, creating, performing, and perhaps most of all just talking about it. Our hosts playfully deliberate and critique the music that helped shape them as burgeoning musicians, and discuss how it keeps them inspired to this day. 

John teases out the topic of the first episode by giving co-host Rich three cryptic clues. Initially stumped by the hints, Rich is reminded of their early days in highschool and their connection to the song "Nirvana".  The conversation goes into the nuances of the song in keeping things raw and real, and the influence of the band, the music, and the broad impact of the music industry to steer a band's direction. They delve into the rationale of having cover songs on an album, and John shares a story about coming across a long, lost, promotional Cult beer can. The episode concludes with reflections on the lasting appeal of The Cult's music and a teaser for future episodes.
