  • Wouldn't It Be Nice If Mike Love Just Said Thanks?

    Wouldn't It Be Nice If Mike Love Just Said Thanks?
    Nov 5 2026
    Mike Love had a lot to say when The Beach Boys were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1988. What should have been a night of celebration turned into one of the most gloriously awkward, uncomfortable, and downright bizarre acceptance speeches in rock history. Instead of simply saying thanks, Mike decided to air some grievances, take a few shots, and remind everyone just how much he thought of himself.

    On this episode of Jon's WTF Music Moments, we're revisiting that legendary rant, exploring the complicated relationship between Mike Love and Brian Wilson, and taking a detour through the questionable musical territory of Love's 1992 solo album Summer in Paradise.

    Badfinger: Rock's Unluckiest Band Meets Shock Theater
    Oct 30 2026
    Badfinger had the songs, the talent, and even the backing of The Beatles. So how did one of the most promising bands of the early-1970s end up with a story that reads like a rock and roll tragedy? And how the hell did they end up performing on a low-budget Milwaukee TV show in 1982 that served up bad horror and sci-fi movies?!

    Tune in to the latest episode as Jon connects the dots and takes a look at yet another chapter in Badfinger's already unbelievable and unfortunate history.

  • Songs of Innocence: The U2 iTunes Invasion

    Songs of Innocence: The U2 iTunes Invasion
    Oct 14 2026
    In 2014, U2 and Apple pulled off one of the most audacious—and bizarre—music marketing stunts in history: putting U2's first new album in five years, Songs of Innocence, into the iTunes accounts of more than 500 million users. The backlash was swift, Apple had to create a removal tool, and Bono had to eventually apologize.

    But was the album really that bad, or did the band's iTunes invasion overshadow the music? Jon investigates the gift nobody asked for.

    Bye Bye Love, Hello Rage: The Everly Brothers Implode
    Oct 8 2026
    They gave us Bye Bye Love, All I Have to Do Is Dream, and Wake Up Little Susie - but apparently they couldn’t figure out how to not want to kill each other. In 1973, after years of simmering tension, Don and Phil Everly brought their legendary sibling rivalry to the stage in spectacular fashion, ending one of rock & roll’s greatest partnerships with an onstage meltdown that was every bit as uncomfortable as it was unforgettable.

    But what the hell happened between two brothers who had spent nearly two decades harmonizing their way to the top? In this episode, Jon digs into the Everlys’ complicated relationship and the infamous onstage moment that led to their breakup.

    Blurred Lines and Blurred Judgement
    Oct 1 2026
    Back in 2013, Robin Thicke and his single Blurred Lines where anywhere and everywhere.
    Thicke seemed to have it all: the hit song, the fame, the money, and a seemingly picture-perfect marriage to actress Paula Patton.

    But then, just a year later, the wheels came off. And rather than deal with his marital problems quietly, Robin Thicke did what any rational person would do: he made an entire album about trying to win his wife back - and named it Paula.

    For Jon's latest WTF music moment, he takes a look back at the disastrous 2014 attempt by Robin Thicke to win his wife back that ultimately helped derail his music career.

    On this episode of Jon's WTF Music Moments, Jon digs into the chaotic story behind an album that somehow miracously survived its own recording sessions.

  • How Am I Supposed to Sing Puccini? — Michael Bolton Goes Opera

    How Am I Supposed to Sing Puccini? — Michael Bolton Goes Opera
    Sep 17 2026
    After spending a decade as one of pop music's leading power balladeers, Michael Bolton decided to record an album of Italian and French opera arias in the late-1990s. And nearly thirty years later, My Secret Passion: The Arias, remains a fascinating and peculiar collection. Part vanity project, part crossover attempt, the album baffled fans and critics alike. And yet it also served as a precursor to the 'popera' craze that would sweep the music world in the early 2000s.

    In this episode of Jon's WTF Music Moments, Jon looks back at Michael Bolton's (thankfully) brief foray into the world of 19th-century romantic opera.
