April 1991 Pop Culture: Susanna Hoffs, A Baby In A Basket (?) & Musicians Perving On Underage Girls

Start listening

Whose voice is described in this month’s Listen Up as “vomity”? It’s sure not Sting because Catherine CANNOT be objective about him. It’s also not Debbie Gibson protΓ©gΓ© Chris Cuevas, though we do have a lot of opinions about the little photo of him we get in What Now. We also discuss whether L.A. Story is still worth seeing and whether it includes a baby in a basket on the side of the freeway; rate the tracks on R.E.M.’s Out Of Time; and wonder whether Christina’s piece on why going backstage at a rock show sucks is actually just a huge humblebrag. Give a big David Lee Roth-style scream: it’s the April 1991 Pop Culture episode!
