178. PRODUCER BOB EZRIN REVEALS THE FULL STORY BEHIND MC5’S HEAVY LIFTING & THE ART OF THE ROCK OPERA

This sequel to the Tom Morello MC5 episode goes deep on an exploration of the just-released Heavy Lifting LP, along with its producer, the great Bob Ezrin, producer of such classics as Pink Floyd’s The Wall, Kiss’s Destroyer, and Alice Cooper’s Billion Dollar Babies.

Here’s just some of the many things Bob and I touch on in this podcast:

Bob’s work as the king of the rock opera, specifically on Lou Reed’s Berlin, about which I was able to ask him a question I’ve been literally waiting to ask since I was 14 years old (this section is only available in The Director’s Cut of this episode);
The fascinating story of how this record started off as a Wayne Kramer film project and wound up transforming into an MC5 LP;
Plus, a deep-dive discussion about the brand-new, yet final MC5 record, Heavy Lifting!
