We still have our guest, Jeff's daughter Eva, for the first part of this episode. They introduce me to a song by 100 Gecs and then we get into the meat of the matter, the summertime explosion of Chappell Roan, We pretty much mention almost half of her phenomenal album "The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess".
From there it's an actress who can sing and how she connects to an '80s classic and a trio from the '70s. One of that trio of brothers was, I believe, my first male crush.
Up next, a newly discovered gem from 1975 by Elton John and a great track from his album "Caribou". In between we explore the evolution of underage hookups through song (in a fun way).
At the end I share the gift of connection, only given because it took so long to get this episode out. Through the course of this podcast it is often that a delay in conversation or editing leads to something unexpected. And one of those things just happened yesterday.
