#130 - THE KINKS w/ Author Chris Kocher

This week the Modern Musicology gang goes away to camp as we pay a visit with the founder of the Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp, David Fishof, who is celebrating the release of his new book, Rock Camp: An Oral History - 25 Years of the Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp. He tells us amazing stories of how the camp got started, some of the amazing people he's met (both campers and rock stars) and what the experience has meant to him over the years. We think you'll really enjoy this one! Have you ever attended the Rock Camp? We'd love to hear all about your experience! Drop us a line at modernmusicology1@gmail.com or leave a comment wherever you find our episode! After our conversation with David (he told us not to call him Mr. Fishof!), we spend a few minutes paying tribute to Christine McVie and getting some feedback from one of our listeners.  Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ModernMusicology Check us out on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/modernmusicologypodcast/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ModrnMusicology Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCk-MlcGy5u3fK1j4bVty1Kw Modern Musicology is part of the ESO Podcast Network. https://esonetwork.com/ Find more about us: Rob Levy: https://kdhx.org/shows/show/juxtaposition Stephanie Seymour: www.therearebirds.com  R.

This week the Modern Musicology crew ignores what's good for society and celebrates banned songs! These are the tunes that are too sexual, too controversial, too inflammatory or too revolutionary to be heard on the radio or anywhere else! These subversive tracks include obvious and important things like "Fuck the Police" by NWA and "Cop Killer" by Body Count, but also things that seem incredibly innocuous now, like "Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood and "Physical" by Olivia Newton-John. Find out what some of our favorites are! What about you? What are some of your favorite banned songs? Let us know!
