NSTS Episode 076 – Singer Molly Johnson

The No Sleep ’til Sudbury podcast is back with the incredible and irrepressible Molly Johnson. She’s got fire, she’s got insight, and the lady has stories.

What a discussion – Molly talks to me about the American civil rights movement, what Aretha smoked, Rick James’ real name, the politics of tuna, where Jim Cuddy got his voice, how The Police formed, the genius of Gord Downie, and what all the greatest singers actually have in common (it’s not what you think!)

 

Johnson’s playlist:

Mozart – Symphony 46

Measha Brueggergrosman – Hymn to Freedom

KD Lang – Hallelujah

Aretha Franklin – Respect

Miles Davis – Birth of the Cool

Moe Koffman – Curried Soul

Blue Rodeo – Try
