Great pod as always, but came here to say that ‘A Good Heart’ which you sang so …what’s the word? Anyway, you sang…was apparently originally written (by Maria McKee) for a bloke called Tom Petty. You may have heard of him.

It IS a bloody diamond! One of my favourites on this album, just below top tier Tom. And the piano notes on the outro are like glints of light catching a diamond’s surface.

It’s one of those languid, authentic songs - perhaps more typical on Echo - that Tom does great. And your podcast is great at refocusing on a track, and having listened again, a song that can get squashed on the CD among songs that shout louder, this sounds huge.

CHAMPION’S ALIVE! The Batshit Crazy bits of dialogue work fantastically within Brian basically doing the musical equivalent of thunder and lightning. Plus a nice shoutout to “Dispatch WarRocket Ajax” a line i got to deliver on Recovering Queen’s cover (a lifelong ambition i never knew i had!)

Insurance claim: “so what colour was the car that hit you?”

Me: “er….well…it’s complicated”

Admittedly I also was trying to think of puns, and Under Tyre Pressure was the best icould come up with. Or something about reversing into that hot space.
