FLW is back with Season 8! We begin an epic season with an in-depth 2003 interview with Sting. This is Sting at his Sting-iest, in conversation with the incomparable Marilyn Denis. He’s funny and self-deprecating, charming and a tad insufferable. He talks about his childhood, why his grandmother called his early work “Broken Music”, the longevity of his marriage, and how the events of 9/11 affected his work. And yes, Sting talks about the whole “tantric sex” thing… in a moment that Tom finds hilarious, but Christopher finds cringey!

Plus, we have Cool Song Facts:
Why Bono wrote a song to his wife to apologize to her
The connection that The News (aka Huey Lewis’s band) had with Elvis Costello
How Boy George got in trouble with a ‘60s hit.
And finally, the mind-boggling choice that Aerosmith and the Grateful Dead almost made to replace their lead singers!

First up this week is an extraordinary 1992 interview with Lindsey Buckingham. Lindsey recently turned 75 and is still creating music, but it’s so interesting to hear him more than 30 years ago. Although the interview was ostensibly to promote his solo work, Lindsey talks a lot about Fleetwood...
