Tom Jones – the legend and his pants.

Jun 17, 2020 Maynard

Maynard interviews the mighty Tom Jones for radio Triple J in 1988, just before Tom released “Kiss” in Australia, and then for 2SER, backstage at Sydney Entertainment Centre after his 1995 concert.

Hear the legend, his voice, and his secret of long lasting pants.

I get my trousers specially made. So busted pants for me are now a thing of the past.

I’ve never taken myself too seriously. If I’m going to do an up tempo song, I’ll have fun with it.

Video – Olivia Newton John – off her skates.

Jun 12, 2020 Maynard

Olivia Newton John was in Brisbane in 1999 and Maynard renewed his acquaintance with her for an hour, talking about her music and movie career.

Starting with Sam (1977), then Grease (1979), on to Xanadu (1980) and then to her getting Physical (1981).

Spend an hour with Livvy.

It was the 20th anniversary of the Grease movie and soundtrack, and she discussed her nervousness at auditioning for the role of Sandy for Alan Carr, even though he had specifically asked her to take the role, after meeting her at a dinner party at Helen Reddy’s Los Angeles home.

The show starts with her early sound, and takes you through her pop and movie career, then goes full circle back to her latest Country release.

The sixth and final One Man Madd Club live stream happened in a way that makes you wonder why Mark Zuckerberg didn’t step in earlier.

Maynard reads an email from Mark while celebrating the silly things in life.

Music from Messiah (not that one), New Order, Tom Jones, Spandau Ballet, Bobby Darin und more…

It’s the opposite of burlesque

The fifth One Man Madd Club live stream went off with some trouble due to Facebook blocking. But after I rang the Facebook after-hours number and did my fantastic Mark Z voice, they gave me the keys to Facebook.

Lots of outfits you haven’t seen previously here. My favourite comment on the show was “more costume changes than Liberace”. High praise indeed. Although the lack of a belt caused a wardrobe malfunction that wasn’t seen.

Here’s the show in its entirety. Enjoy, and tune in on Friday at 8:30-9:00pm.
