Why? Episode 175- Mike Kaplan on the "2001: A Space Odyssey" Pop Single Dec 20, 2021

Show notes

Believe it or not, MGM wasn't sure how to sell Stanley Kubrick's sci-fi masterpiece "2001: A Space Odyssey." One of the ideas suggested by PR executive Mike Kaplan was 'how about a pop single?' Encouraged by Kubrick, Kaplan took up his pen and wrote and produced a song. Kubrick ended up shelving the idea, and the record wasn't heard... until now.
"2001: A Garden of Personal Mirrors" is available wherever you get your digital music, or you can get a limited edition vinyl copy here.
