You probably don’t picture Picasso painting Elvis on velvet in order to make his mortgage payment.
Show Notes:
Opening
- More notes on Darby O’Gill and the Little People can be found at TCM.
- D23.com did a very nice job of recapping Donald in Mathmagic Land.
Act I
- Learn more about Unsolved Mysteries at the show’s official website.
- Here’s two minutes and change of Robert Stack saying weird, weird stuff. Bonus Tupac mention!
Act II
- Here are the credits for The Man Who Saw Tomorrow. It’s… something else.
Act III
- Bob Welch’s personal website is still up. The classic Fleetwood Mac albums he played on are still in print but, unfortunately, are not available digitally.
- This Rolling Stone article sheds a little light on Welch’s tenure with Fleetwood Mac.
- Here’s a good timeline of Fleetwood Mac’s rotation of guitarists.
- This article, circa Rumours (and written by Cameron Crowe), gives some insight into how Fleetwood Mac wound up based out of LA and is worth reading for the amazing Christine McVie quotes. I might’ve called her “Keyboard Mom,” but it’s only because she’s secretly The Best.
- The Jeremy Spencer story gets dark fast. Ben Fong-Torres wrote up his departure in ’71. The Children of God cult (which he remained a member of for some time) is still around under a different name, with a substantial number of victims in its wake.
- Here is one recounting of the origins of “Hypnotized.”
- This piece, published shortly after Welch’s suicide, has some good quotes from Welch and a link to video of the Autumn Defense covering “Sentimental Lady.”
