Show Notes

VILLAGE PEOPLE DON’T DO DISCO! Comedian and artist Katie Bowman joins us to discuss the Village People’s attempt to survive the death of Disco. Was cocaine a thing in the 80s? Did anyone notice that the lead singer was replaced? Are the Village People a boy band or macho men? Why are three of the eight songs on this album about food? Did the Village People pave the way for Rob Halford? Or Lou Pearlman? What message are the Village People trying to convey? Are they a band or a group? Why isn’t there a Village People Broadway musical yet? What is the plot of “Logan’s Run”? Young man, there’s no need to feel down this week on Detours and Outliers.
