The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll

From the original release on 9/11/2023: "Not one, but two sets of brothers formed a band in Ohio! That should have been the world's first warning that the plot to de-evolve EVERYTHING was hatching right there in Akron. In the pocket with Punk, era-wise, but markedly different from, well...everybody else, their mission required shunning norms! That was likely the case long before they donned their classic Devo yellow jumpsuits and plastic energy domes! Strange, sure! Quirky? They innovated a few of their own! Recently, finally announcing the end of their touring days, the d-volution, or de-volution, is nearly complete... Like the Stones, they never really got "Satisfaction" either. Yet, music has made their lives more awesome, and they freed young minds; both listeners, and budding musicians. We are living in the future, but we are not men, we are still Devo dammit!!!

Each year we seem to honor and remember more and more of our departing heroes. In music, and the arts we lost a lot for sure, but our losses beyond that cover all areas of our lives. Just today we learned that former U.S. President Jimmy Carter passed at 100. In 2024, icons of the 1950s and 1960s were exiting the planet in record numbers. It's a trend that we, sadly, predicted. So this year, the Imbalanced Boys are taking even more time to discuss those we have lost inside the music world, and out. Along the way, the ride includes some incredible music, reflecting those who have departed. Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year, as we continue this podcast journey together!

Here's the copy from last year's release: "Markus and Ray have done this before, but somehow it always comes out different! The Imbalanced Boys have covered 5 Fave Rock n’ Roll Christmas songs, as well as 5 Fave Heavy Metal Xmas songs, (and a couple other related passes) a few times in their nearly 5 years as a podcast! Nothing beats listening to nouveau holiday favorites, mixed with classics, at the holidays! You might be surprised, if you’ve enjoyed their Xmas treats before, at what is (and isn’t) a part of this year’s take on holiday music! So, kick back with some holiday grog, a hot toddy, or whatever sets the mood right, and enjoy this episode of 5 Favorites, and…have a very Merry Christmas & yes, a joyous New Year!" In case you missed it, here's a Spotify link to that #AlicesRestaurant episode we discussed! We hope you have a great holiday season! And we wrap up the year next week with, For Those We Lost 2024!
