Ralph and Michael put on full KISS makeup (trust us) to contemplate this heady concept album that Michael keeps calling “Music FOR the Elder,” which is not the actual title. (Get it together, Michael.) Turns out there’s more to Gene Simmons than most people realize, and we’re going to convince you of that. Along the way, Ralph tries to define “butt rock,” Michael rethinks his concept of heroism, and they take a call from someone with an unusual proposition. Later, Ralph performs “I.”

This episode is dedicated to all of our listeners, except for Derek.

Ralph and Michael dive into the Beastie Boys Album That Time Forgot and reminisce about the hostile political climate that surrounded it. The Unhinged Lunatic who forces us to do this podcast likes giving us these trips down Painful Memory Lane. Anyway, how are you? Still profoundly uneasy about everything? Us too. Maybe just forget about it for a while and listen to these knuckleheads talk about some Beastie Boys music. Plus, upsetting listener mail and Ralph’s Tom-Waits-ian cover of “Crawlspace.”

Ralph and Michael dig into the original “everybody hates it” album and try to unpack the incredibly negative reaction it received back in 1970. And wouldn’t you know it? It’s actually pretty dope! That’s right, Rose-Colored Headphones is back! Season Two is going to be so good, you guys. We’re definitely not as weird as before. This is a respectable show now. Maybe we’ll even find out why that Unhinged Lunatic is forcing us to do this. But probably not. Anyway, this is a podcast episode about Bob Dylan, which is… maybe something no one’s ever done before? There’s no way to be sure. Later in this episode, Ralph performs “It Hurts Me Too.”
