What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole? Presenting The Class of 1989, a new limited-run series from pop culture critics Len Webb and Vincent Williams, hosts ...

Barry first found music when he borrowed his sister's record collection when he was about eight and was hooked. When Caroline started it was a new beginning, and he listened to all the stations, but Caroline was his favourite by far. Later he became a singer in a band, then started doing discos when he was 18. He joined Caroline in 1977, touring the country with the Caroline Roadshow for 10 years, having great fun. Barry helped with tender trips and worked on the Ross Revenge in '84 and '85. ...

What dark forces connect legendary musicians who died at exactly 27? The mysterious "27 Club" includes some of music's most brilliant minds - Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, and Amy Winehouse - all claimed at the same haunting age.
Our hosts dive deep into the origins of this phenomenon, tracing it back to blues legend Robert Johnson, whose supernatural guitar skills spawned myths of a deal with the devil at the crossroads. When Johnson mysteriously died at 27 in 1938, it began what would become a disturbing pattern.
The conversation takes particularly fascinating turns when examining recent revelations about Kurt Cobain's death. A new witness claims to have been present when Cobain was murdered, contrary to the official suicide ruling. We explore the compelling evidence suggesting Cobain's suicide note may have been partially forged, and the suspicious timing of Hole bassist Kristen Pfaff's death shortly afterward - also at 27.
Beyond the sensational theories, we examine what makes this phenomenon so captivating. Is it merely confirmation bias focusing on famous people who happened to die at the same age? Or does the intense pressure of fame, coupled with substance abuse and the "live fast, die young" lifestyle, create a perfect storm for vulnerable young artists? We even discuss the bizarre "white lighter curse" - the superstition that white lighters were found at multiple 27 Club death scenes.
Whether you believe in cosmic connections or statistical coincidences, this episode offers a thoughtful exploration of creativity, fame's dark side, and our need to find meaning in tragedy. Email us at [email protected] with your own theories or suggestions for future topics!
