We compliment others by telling them they resemble a movie star or sound like a famous singer. Sometimes we imagine a celebrity as the best version of ourselves – achieving the goals in the world that we would achieve if we had that body or those opportunities, answering questions and reacting to circumstances the way we like to think we would. The fact that it’s a real person, out there, acting on their own free will, only makes the story better. A celebrity is a living character in a story we’re telling ourselves and each other, a touchstone for a personality type.

People you’ll hear about in this episode: Glen Campbell, Elvis Presley, Jim Stafford, Nick Lowe, Kanye West, Eminem, Drake, Lauryn Hill, Snoop, A Tribe Called Quest, Jody Reynolds, Rick Hall, Lou Donaldson, Sheryl Crow, kd lang, Lucinda Williams, Alfred Hitchcock, Barry White, Bobby Womack, Burt Bacharach and, believe it or not, more.Īlso, you may not like what you hear if you’re a fan of Jim Ford. We’ll explore major label music marketing, the concept of celebrity personas, the state of American pop/rock in the ’60s, and just what exactly the hell a MacGuffin is. Today’s story takes us from the cotton lands of Mississippi to the music scene of Los Angeles, from a legendary recording studio in Muscle Shoals to the white hot lights of Sin City.
This episode of Cocaine & Rhinestones examines every little thing we know about Bobbie Gentry, her life and her music. Since we can’t ask Bobbie for answers, these are mysteries we either have to learn to live with or try to solve for ourselves. In 1967, Bobbie Gentry’s recording of a song she wrote, called “Ode to Billie Joe,” directly influenced the future of every major musical genre in America.
