Sound Barrier: Sylvester

Warming Up the Hot Band

Listen on

Episode notes

Sylvester tries to make it as a glam rock star, but ends up self-sabotaging on an epic scale: spending his advance on clothes, not paying his band, and fleeing to Paris when he can’t stand the heat. This episode includes a lost demo from his early days that hasn’t been heard in 50 years, and tells the complex story of Sylvester’s initiation into adult sexuality in a manner that may not be suitable for all audiences.
