Joe Bouchard was a founding member of the band Blue Oyster Cult, which had a huge hit with “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper”. That song later had a second life after it was featured in the iconic ‘More Cowbell’ skit on Saturday Night Live in 2000 featuring Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken. In the second half of the show Joe and Robert do a Songfest featuring three of BOC’s most famous songs.
KEY TAKEAWAYS: Life can be full of surprises. Think about how SNL - out of the blue - did a skit featuring “The Reaper” which sent Blue Oyster Cult into orbit, and then Metallica covered Joe’s song “Astronomy” and sold 5 million copies. You could never have predicted these life changing events. So keep doing what you love and do it well. You never know what’s going to happen in life.
Robert’s featured song in this episode is “New York City Groove” from Project Grand Slam’s album Made In New York. Robert chose this song because Joe and his brother Albert - two of the founders of BOC - were from upstate New York and the band got its start at Stony Brook, NY, and the song is about NYC -- which Robert felt was close enough!
