EPISODE SUMMARY:
How is it even possible that a period of 15-20 years could birth some of the most unprecedentedly great music that, in many ways, has still yet to be topped? This question may befuddle even the people who were alive to witness it. But there is no denying that the late 1960s through to the early 1980s served as an epoc in rock 'n roll that not only changed music forever, but is still unmatched in its creative output. David Bowie's 1973 album Aladdin Sane is just one example of this. But radio giant and comedian Ron Bennington knows that that album is only barely scratching the surface of that era.
