Episode 2: Maverick
Jazz Cops (June 15th 2017)
This episode: As Jeremy
considers a life on the run, hiding in the shadows (not the band), Vince
ponders the lack of men named Colin in Rock and Roll. Up for discussion by both is the staggering
implausibility of hit BBC legal drama Judge
John Deed; how U2 might possibly have been inspired by The Wombles; and the
feeble arguments advanced by songwriters Rogers and Hart in their lyrics for The Lady is a Tramp - a song which on
close inspection seems to entirely exonerate the character of the supposed
loose woman.
The artists/bands rated and discussed are The Zombies,
Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship/Starship, New Order, Steely Dan, and
Suzanne Vega.
