Steve Taylor Blew Up The Clinic Real Good: The "I Predict 1990" Album, Side A (#026)

Épisode 26

lundi 28 avril 2025 • Durée 01:03:15

Send us a text

We finally get to Matt and Doug's all-time favorite Steve Taylor album, 1987's I Predict 1990. We cover the first three songs, beginning with "I Blew Up The Clinic Real Good", about an ice cream salesman who blows up an abortion clinic to make sure he still has a clientele to sell to. Next, "What Is The Measure Of Your Success" skewers the big business Wall Street culture of the 1980's, and remains even more relevant today. Finally, "Since I Gave Up Hope, I Feel A Lot Better" tackles higher education (maybe?) and explores how a nihilistic worldview leads to hopelessness, despair, and ultimately the exploitation of others for empty personal gain.

Also, Doug describes his dream where he walks arm in arm with our current President and has a heartfelt conversation. Weird stuff.

Steve Taylor Throws Grandpa Off The Lifeboat: The "On The Fritz" Album, Side B (#025)

Épisode 25

lundi 14 avril 2025 • Durée 57:19

Send us a text

We cover the second half of Steve Taylor's album On The Fritz, focusing on two songs: "I Manipulate", which tackles the warped theology of Bill Gothard, a minister who preached strict hierarchy in the family, and "Lifeboat", which critically discusses Values Clarification, a movement in the early 80's that emphasized personal values over values given from authority figures like parents or the Church. Plus, are Christians the new moral relativists? Is empathy a sin?

Bands/ Artists discussed:

Steve Taylor

Documentary: Shiny Happy People, about the Duggar family and their involvement with Bill Gothard's Institute for Basic Life Principals.

Video: Lifeboat - Steve Taylor, in which Steve dresses up as an old woman and gets murdered by her students.
