EPISODE SUMMARY:
The are artists that follow trends and then there are artists who create them. There are artists who seek fame and fortunes, and there are artists who seek to manifest the individual truth within themselves. There are artists who overstay their welcome and then there are artists who remain relevant without becoming embarrassing. In all three cases, art pop pioneer Beck is the latter. And while his 1996 album Odelay may have been just the first introduction of him to broader audiences, when the Sklar Brothers first heard it, they could tell it was for shadowing something far grander for a musician who never fails to evolve.
