Episode Ten: This week (and next week) Dan, Beth, and Joe take on the music industry. And by take on, we mean that they focus on how the music industry treats artists poorly (they don’t have the manpower to take on the music industry. Yet). Also, by “poorly” we mean “crappy” but, like, the other word for crappy. In the first of this two-part episode, they take you on a musical journey through the decades, spanning from Elvis to the Beatles and concluding, for now at least, with Prince and the three artists had differing experiences within the music industry. But the thread that connects the three artists is that individuals and entities within the music industry – whether it be their record label(s) or their manager(s) – held the rights to their careers.
With Elvis, Joe briefs the group on Elvis’s Hound Dog of a manager and the three of them get All Shook Up when discussing how Elvis essentially sold practically the entirety of his career to said manager for, essentially, nothing. For the Beatles, Dan takes everyone on a detour to Yesterday, where he goes through Paul McCartney’s cries for Help! to Michael Jackson (who, rumor has it, may not have been the best person…), causing McCartney to essentially Let It Be when he tried to get back the Beatles’ masters. To close out the episode, Beth discusses the Artist Formerly Known as Prince (who then changed his name back to Prince, because why not – it’s complicated). Beth’s discussion is like riding around in a Little Red Corvette, makes us wish for 1999, and touches on the Controversy surrounding Prince’s interactions with his record label. No doves cried while recording of this episode.
