FLW is back with Season 8! We begin an epic season with an in-depth 2003 interview with Sting. This is Sting at his Sting-iest, in conversation with the incomparable Marilyn Denis. He’s funny and self-deprecating, charming and a tad insufferable. He talks about his childhood, why his grandmother called his early work “Broken Music”, the longevity of his marriage, and how the events of 9/11 affected his work. And yes, Sting talks about the whole “tantric sex” thing… in a moment that Tom finds hilarious, but Christopher finds cringey!
If you were going to put ONE song into a time capsule, which one would it be? Christopher chooses a couple of classics and Tom picks an epic from the ‘70s.
Plus, we have Cool Song Facts:
- Why Bono wrote a song to his wife to apologize to her
- The connection that The News (aka Huey Lewis’s band) had with Elvis Costello
- How Boy George got in trouble with a ‘60s hit.
- And finally, the mind-boggling choice that Aerosmith and the Grateful Dead almost made to replace their lead singers!
