Remembering The Shangri-Las' Mary Weiss with filmmaker Allison Anders. Jan 30, 2024

Show notes

When Paul invited the filmmaker Allison Anders (Gas Food Lodging, Mi Vida Loca, Grace Of My Heart) to remember the late great Shangri-Las lead singer Mary Weiss (who passed away on January 19th at the age of 75) we thought it was only going to be a 15-minute segment. In hindsight, this was always going to be the full hour. Enjoy!

And Record Store Day co-founder Carrie Colliton alerts us to some important RSD announcements coming up at RecordStoreDay.com, and remarks on the passing of Melanie Safka who passed away on January 23rd at the age of 76).
