134: Maggie May
NOTE: I got word that there was a problem with the uploaded file. It should be fine now. Apologies for those of you who had hassles. (Original photo by Meg Wagener for Unsplash) Let me start by thanking the show's newest Patron, Scott Fraser, for joining the family! Next: my apologies: I counted on taking a week's break but not two. I got remarkably sick a couple of times in the past week, culminating with a trip that involved having testing swabs stuck up my nose to varying depths, depending on what they were looking for that time. They were relieved to tell me that I "only" had food poisoning...they think. Reassuring? Anyway, if I sound a little rough in this episode, now you know why. There are several elements of the story behind "Maggie May" which are going to sound very familiary to you, if only because I've told a variation on them at some point in the past with regard to other songs. On the other hand, there are definitely a few elements to "Maggie May" which you're not going to hear anywhere else, because not every song starts with getting deflowered at a jazz festival's swan song. Oh--and as promised, here's Godley and Creme's first video, for their own "Englishman in New York." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQr6FYFEjI8&ab_channel=JoeyOddo Click here to become a Patron of the show.
