Music of the Mat Remix: Creative Control Nov 26, 2024

Show notes

Do you feel like the direction of your life is not going the way you want it? Are you tired of other people dictating your actions? Do you just not want to do something? Well, say the words "That's not gonna work for me, brother" and exert your creative control! It's a power not only seen in pro wrestling, but all avenues of entertainment. On this episode, Andrew and first-time guest Paul Wedding focus on the music topic most relatable to creative control: singer-songwriters. They "control the creative," so to speak: writing, performing, and sometimes even producing their own songs. Artists played include Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, The Mountain Goats, St. Vincent, John Prine, Lissie, Colter Wall, Peter Gabriel, Jenny Lewis, Chris Isaak, and many more. This episode has Section 11, Subparagraph E in its contract, so it's going over whether you like it or not.
