The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll

Originally released as Episode #134 on 9/6/2021, The FBI vs. Jim Morrison is one of the best episodes of the podcast from the early days! The guys were researching for a Doors episode when Markus unearthed Jim's FBI file!
The episode is being re-released today on 11/11/2024, 55 years after the day of that insane Continental flight from L.A. to Phoenix! The FBI's extensive file on Jim and The Doors is dissected, showing Markus & Ray's love of this event, and its role, in Rock & Roll history.
Also included? Ray's whacky "Jim Morrison Felony Arrest Poetry Jam!!!" It's rare when balance is brought to the Imbalanced History, but discovering this anniversary (okay, we stumbled onto it..) was inspiring!
Hope you enjoy the re-release of this fun episode, and get ready for another new episode next week!

Markus and Ray tell the tale of a foundation stone of Motown, Diana Ross & The Supremes! From their formation as The Primettes, and through the decades as The Supremes, they not only ran multiple strings of #1 hits, but influenced music and style for women of the 1960s, and beyond!
The Imbalanced Boys discuss their rise, and the solo split for Diana, and her amazing solo career.
So hop in the Imbalanced Time Machine and let's get back to the start of Motown!
We dedicate this episode to the great Quincy Jones, who died the night before it was released.

This is a re-release of our original episode #311 on 9/4/23:
Connecting with David Cousins of The Strawbs for this episode was a different experience for both of the Imbalanced Brothers. Ray was a fan of the band from the 1970s, when Markus was still a younger kid! So they each approached this interview, and the new album, differently. The result is a very exciting take on a classic band making their way back up the UK charts with The Magic Of It All, how they got there, as well as how South Africa now, and then, became central to the project.
Dave shares some incredible stuff for guitar and banjo players regarding tunings, tells tales of Sandy Denny and Rick Wakeman, and capped the visit by revealing that a collaboration with members of Wu-Tang Clan is in motion.
Find out more about The Strawbs, their new album, and more on their web site!
