S6E36: Missing the Bridge with John Shanks
Added 2023-01-31 02:12:47 +0000 UTCGrammy-winning Producer/Songwriter John Shanks and Bret Easton Ellis discuss the founding of Line One, observing the harsh reception of Prince's early sleaze up close and capturing the essential tension of a perfectly written pop song. Part 1 of 2.

Agree. Couldn’t even finish it.

2023-03-08 20:34:20 +0000 UTCI’m really not very interested in musicians and producers. It was odd the scene he described about seeing his father in a retirement home. Isn’t his father and himself supposed to have money? He puts him in a home? I’m sure his children took note of that. Superficial scumbags these celebrity Californians

2023-02-15 08:59:03 +0000 UTCJohn states that he and Sheryl Crowe wrote “Steve McQueen” because no one else had done a song about him. Drive By Truckers put out a song of the same name/topic 4 years earlier. To me the Crowe song is easier on the ears but the lyrics of the DBT song are more interesting.

2023-02-05 17:22:17 +0000 UTCBoring dude! Too much name-dropping. Could have been cut to 20 minutes. Zzzzzzzz .....

2023-02-05 00:47:40 +0000 UTCThis was entertaining. More behind the scenes anecdotes from John would have been nice.

2023-02-04 20:39:27 +0000 UTCTodd is incredibly talented (have actually spent time in the studio with him). He could help facilitate and would be amazing colab.

2023-02-04 01:58:15 +0000 UTCThe Who concert that was telecast at Shank's party was on December 17, 1982. They performed at Maple Leaf Garden in Toronto, Canada. It was the last date of The Who's farewell tour.

2023-02-03 08:04:31 +0000 UTCExcellent musical guest and blast from Bret’s teenage years. How nostalgic. Loved it!
Paul Wasowicz
2023-02-03 02:56:52 +0000 UTC3?? haha. You're making my point for me. I'm pretty sure Stanhope and Maron were the old podcast, too. I'm talking Theo Von or Tom Segura, etc.

2023-02-02 21:13:18 +0000 UTCYeah man go for it!
Magnus Blomdahl
2023-02-02 19:32:45 +0000 UTCBret should pick one or a few of the best of the 100 songs he wrote and record them with Shanks now. I would love to hear them.
R. M.
2023-02-02 19:06:14 +0000 UTCNope. Stanhope, Maron, Jeselnik
M. Nero Nava
2023-02-02 14:04:10 +0000 UTCAlso too, whenever Bret gets in the “you only need two - Hemingway, Didion” pocket - the best. Talking commas. All that matters.
Brian Rooney
2023-02-02 00:37:27 +0000 UTCIf you’re talkin Eagles naturally, you’re vibin’ on cloud nine. Cheers everybody. I’ll say this … glad we can all converse. Excellent episode.

2023-02-02 00:36:05 +0000 UTCIan Svenonius’ Against the Written Word! Get ‘em on!!
Brian Rooney
2023-02-01 21:12:40 +0000 UTCWould love if Critical Drinker came on - even as a phone in guest. Mentions a lot of similar points to Bret and also is a writer. Would be a great convo.

2023-02-01 18:55:32 +0000 UTCThe anthony jeselnick ep. was great.

2023-02-01 17:07:03 +0000 UTCRidiculously enjoyable. Funny moment when John admits that Bret’s infallible memory is right, then that tidbit about his party maybe inspiring a scene in Less Than Zero.

2023-01-31 21:51:52 +0000 UTCAnyone else when Bret refers to his girlfriend automatically think, “yeah, Debbie”?

2023-01-31 20:45:20 +0000 UTCExcellent
PETER GREER
2023-01-31 17:16:08 +0000 UTCI think there’s a Bill Burr episode from the podcast one days.
Pp358
2023-01-31 16:37:11 +0000 UTCTim Dillon or Bill Burr would be my choices
Jorge Espinha
2023-01-31 16:28:01 +0000 UTCIt’s good to hear somebody that lived a full live, is a creative person and has no resentment.
Jorge Espinha
2023-01-31 16:27:05 +0000 UTCRight. I should have said stand up comics.

2023-01-31 12:03:05 +0000 UTCTeena Marie is under appreciated.
M. Nero Nava
2023-01-31 09:54:27 +0000 UTCThey’ve had comedians on the pod before.
M. Nero Nava
2023-01-31 09:53:11 +0000 UTCBEE, peeps. Have you guys ever thought of getting a comedian on the podcast? There has to be a mother ton of them where you guys are. I'd also love to hear Bret talk about or even talk to some of the new personalities out there like the Critical Drinker.

2023-01-31 09:42:12 +0000 UTCFirst rate - money worth it episode 👷🏽♂️🔨☕️⭐️
Seneca Garcia
2023-01-31 04:35:26 +0000 UTCThe show gets off to a rough start with both guys interrupting and talking over each other, as if they are too excited to talk after all these years. Then they settle in, a groove develops and the episode gets much better. Already looking forward to next week.
