443 - Cheap Trick - In Color - Annie Lederman
LISTEN + SUBSCRIBE ON SPOTIFY HERE
EPISODE SUMMARY:
You can live your live your life worrying about other people's expectations, trying to become some fabricated facsimile of what you think you're supposed be, ultimately denying the simple joys of being alive. Or you can be like comedian Annie Lederman and say 'Fuck that,' live your truth loudly, and never worry about what might be or might have been. It's that raw honesty and sheer courage that have made Annie a quickly rising star, with credits including Showtime's Who Is America?, Comedy Central's @midnight, MTV's Girl Code, and her own wildly successful podcast Meanspiration. She also holds no pretensions about enjoying things purely for their own sake, no matter what anyone else thinks, which puts the heart-on-its-sleeve earnest, romanticism of Cheap Trick's power pop balladry on their 1977 album In Color right up her alley.
