*hey y’all, guess what? we are starting a new MINI-SERIES!! “Lost in the 80’s” will cover some artists who found themselves out of place in our chosen decade, and wondering if they were over-the-hill has-beens, only to see them come together Avengers style to form one of the greatest super groups in music history: The Traveling Willburys!*

Kicking things off, we take a look at the career of Roy “the Boy” Orbison with our special guest, “Tipp” @kippriley!

Sometimes you want to be a rock ’n’ roll star; other times you want to race a motorbike across a golf course and break your leg. Sometimes you try to be Elvis Presley; other times you forget your Coke-bottle glasses, wear your prescription sunglasses onstage instead, accidentally invent your signature look, and reportedly get called back for encore after encore while opening for the Beatles.

Hear about Roy’s journey to finding his sound, the many highs, tragic lows, and colorful cars of his career, and how he found himself feeling nearly irrelevant by the time the 80’s rolled around. We discuss his late career resurgence, and the lasting impact of his unique voice and vulnerability. Jump in your pink Cadillac and listen along today!
