Bill and Frank’s Guilt-Free Pleasures

• Miley Cyrus: "The Climb" (Hope Month Ep 5)

  When compared to the other songs featured in this podcast, this song is virtually brand new! We discuss Miley's early career and dive deep into the song that sent her career up to new heights. We also discuss the importance of enjoying the journey rather than the destination, but also acknowledge that is rarely said by those who tumble to their destruction while climbing the mountain.

• Aretha Franklin and George Michael: "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)" (Hope Month Ep 4)

  Disclaimer: We were wrong! Aretha Franklin sang "America The Beautiful" at Wrestlemania 3, not Wrestlemania 1. Hope month goes into episode 4 with this number 1 hit by Aretha & George. Faith and Hope abide, as the apostle Paul says. But the greatest of these is love, and you can feel it throughout this entire song. We dive into the hilarious stories behind the recording of the song and give you a deep, deep analysis of the intricacies of "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)." Grab a rack of ribs and enjoy!

• Linda Ronstadt and James Ingraam: "Somewhere Out There" (Hope Ep #2 with Tabitha VandenEnden)

  Welcome to the "cry-iest" episode of our podcast. Frank cannot contain his emotion when discussing James Ingraam's voice and the plight of Fievel and Tanya from "An American Tail." We also welcome Tabitha VandenEnden to discuss kids choirs, the power of an alto voice (even if you wish you were a soprano), and a song full of hope despite that big somewhere out there.  Links: Official Video Movie Version First Live Performance Community Episode Highlights If you are in the Niagara area and are interested in Tabitha's community children's choir, you can find out more at singout.ca.  Thank you for being part of our journey!

• Styx: "Show Me The Way" (Hope Month Ep #1)

  Today we are beginning a new series called "Hope Month" as we examine and celebrate the songs that point to a brighter future. What better way to start than with Styx who make a pointed request to the Divine as they scramble for hope: "Show Me The Way."  We (briefly) discuss the band's history and take a deep dive into the meanings behind the song, including an examination of how Dennis DeYoung is able to use his illusion (I and II) to bring himself to higher ground.  Links: Official Video Thank you for being part of our journey!
