EPISODE SUMMARY:
What does it take to become the biggest band on Earth? Is there even a way to quantify the appeal needed to be relevant to audiences around the globe? Is it even still possible to be a universally beloved entertainer? The questions might be difficult to answer today. But back in 1981, when post-punk trio The Police released their fourth album Ghost in the Machine, they were undeniably on top of the world. And for actor Kate Flannery, who was a teenager at the time, they were well worth the attention.
