Mark and Andrew are back for 2025 and they are learning lessons they failed to grasp in 2024 via after-school specials, our topic for January! First up, a tale of censorship, artistic integrity and smoking hot songwriting in ABC's "It's Only Rock and Roll." Debuting in 1991, "Roll" focuses on Hallie and her band, who make such an explicit song about smooching on someone (that can be performed on a show airing at 3 pm on broadcast TV) that the world's eyes are on them, for better and for worse. The Monkees' Davy Jones and songwriter Carole King are also here to rap with the kids, teaching us that creative expression should have limits. Unless it makes money. Then, hell yeah, brother, let it ride! Listen in, how about?
