Past Prime

5

Wherein middle-aged men assess the music of middle-aged men.Past Prime is a series of conversations about the music that artists make after their youthful peak. Middle age can be like an inverse puberty for Rock stars. Do they all “lose it”? Can they rediscover it? Will they ever be great again? Often these albums are flaccid. Sometimes they are just sad. But, every once in a while they can be glorious. And so, we keep on listening.Join middle-aged dads, Matty Wishnow and Steve Collins as they consider albums by Lou Reed, James Taylor, Van Morrison and many more.

    Positively terrible
    If you’re interested in hearing two aging X’ers pontificate and belch out noxious opinions, this is the podcast for you. I dare you to make it through five minutes of any episode.

    Highly recommended
    Charming premise. Thoughtful commentary. The Crosby Stills Nash and Young episode is a highlight.

    Music to do the dishes to
    I came to check out the Meat Loaf / Jim Steinman episode, but stuck around for James Taylor and ended up hooked. Please come over to Stitcher.
