EPISODE SUMMARY:
Obscurity might seem like a cruel fate for any person who chooses to endeavor in creative pursuits. But not everyone can be a superstar, let alone have more than their requisite 15 minutes of fame. True artists, then, are driven to create not not by a desire for celebrity, but by the hope that they may one day reach the same level of respect and acclaim as British New Waver Graham Parker. While perhaps not a household name, Parker and his band The Rumour's 1979 album Squeezing Out Sparks are held in the highest esteem to this day by music industry insiders and comedian and radio personality Adam Carolla.
