Bobby Brown thrusted and gyrated his way to the top of the charts with Don’t Be Cruel, one of the biggest records of the late 1980s and an album that brought hip-hop’s hard-knock sensibilities to R&B. But fame did not change the Boston bad boy. At the height of his superstardom, Bobby Brown was arrested onstage for violating a lewd act law. He claimed to have a sexual encounter with a ghost at his lavish Atlanta mansion. And his party-hard ways may have been the reason why Mike Tyson shockingly lost a fight and thus lost his undefeated heavyweight title. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including domestic violence and police brutality. This episode was originally published on June 25, 2024.

The Libertines were at the vanguard of the early 2000s garage rock revival. Fronted by friends Pete Doherty and Carl Barat, the band was seen by the UK press as the next in a long line of groups animated by combustible and competitive partnerships, such as the Beatles, Oasis, and the Kinks. But despite their success, the Libertines would be plagued by internal conflicts, erratic behavior, and copious drug use. Eventually, Pete would be on the outs, drifting through London's drug scene before finding himself in prison. This episode was originally published on September 26, 2024.
