Who Walked Away At Their Peak?
In this episode, Rich and Clint discuss the artists and bands that followed the first rule of show business — always leave them wanting more. Throughout the history of pop music, very few artists leave at their peak and on their own terms. This week is dedicated to those that did and did it best, artists like The Police, Bill Withers, Outkast and...Mill Vanilli? Special guest this week is Jeff Symonds.
