Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

So cool that Philip Shelley is Michael Shelley's brother; "Looks" has always been one of my favorites - a number one hit for sure!

The bit about her telling David Bowie she wanted to go to college and he was fully supportive? That is beautiful! Thanks for the interview, EFD!

chris_in_space:

@efd, you know how many interviews you've done on this program that have sent me off into directions that I otherwise would have spent "surfing the net", looking for something that doesn't exist? It's true! If you're nervous, it's probably because you care about what you're doing. Your interviews are great. Thanks!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:53pm
loveless:

You were nervous during the interview? It certainly didn’t show. I plan on ordering the book and can’t wait to dig in. Thanks so much.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:57pm
efd:

thanks loveless & chris. Once it got going I didn't feel so nervous but I definitely was leading up to it, appreciate the comments. (and not fishing for more, either!)
