This week on No Sleep ’til Sudbury, I examine the year of 1978 through some of the most bizarre and fascinating events that shaped it musically, including Richard Branson trying to have Sex Pistols singer Johnny Rotten join Devo as their new singer after the Pistols broke up.

The facts behind the untimely deaths of Sid Vicious, Keith Moon, and Chicago’s Terry Kath are also discussed, as is the KISS solo albums strategy, and the massively far-reaching influence of New Wave. Don’t miss it!
