Ep 56: ROCKNPOD 2023 ROUND-UP (Interviews w/ Bebe Buell, Mick Strawn, & HOLLYWOOD from GLOW!)

Author: playthatpodcast March 24, 2023 Duration: 1:02:54
This is Play That Rock n' Roll's full round-up of our activities at ROCKNPOD 2023 in Nashville, TN! We open the show with a recap of our weekend, and then we get into our special guest interviews! First is an interview with Jeanne Basone aka HOLLYWOOD from GLOW (Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling). In this conversation, Hollywood talks about her time in GLOW, her thoughts on some of WWF's female talent, and her appearance on the sitcom "Married... with Children". We also discuss Hulk Hogan's use of the "Hollywood" moniker in the late '90s, and she even recites one of her old-school GLOW entrance RAPS! Next up is a hysterical conversation with production designer and author Mick Strawn. Mick tells some absolutely hilarious stories about working on movies like "RUNAWAY TRAIN" (1985) and "BREAKIN' 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO" (1984). And finally, we sat down with the legendary Bebe Buell! Bebe talks about her new book "Rebel Soul" and the re-issue of her first EP "Covers Girl", both of which are being released through her new label HOZAC RECORDS . We discuss her musical partnership with Ric Ocasek, the sexism she has endured throughout her whole career, and also her unheralded (but essential!) role in kickstarting the mid-80s supergroup THE POWER STATION.

Ever put on a record and feel like you're stepping into a different time? That's the space where Play That Rock n‘ Roll lives. This isn't just a playlist or a dry history lesson. It's a conversation about the music that built an era, hosted by playthatpodcast. Each episode digs into the albums that defined generations, the artists who lived the myth, and the often-overlooked stories behind the anthems we all know by heart. We're talking about the raw energy of the late '60s, the sprawling ambition of the '70s, and the seismic shifts that followed. You'll hear about the studio experiments that went wrong (and sometimes brilliantly right), the cultural moments that shaped the songs, and the legacies that continue to echo. It's for anyone who wants to go deeper than the greatest hits, to understand not just what was played, but why it still matters. This podcast is a part of Pantheon Podcasts, offering a dedicated look at the soundtrack of a revolution. So, crank it up and join us as we revisit the riffs, the solos, and the sheer attitude that made classic rock an enduring force. New episodes drop regularly, ready to fuel your next deep dive into music history.
