Author John Kruth is a returning guest to talk about his new book Lunacy: The Curious Phenomenon of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, 50 Years On. This month marks the 50th anniversary of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, one of the biggest selling albums of all time with over 40 millions copies sold to date. It topped Billboard and was on the charts for a total of over 700 weeks. Award-winning music biographer John Kruth delves into the making of this iconic record and considers why it continues to speak to generation after generation of music lovers around the world. From avante-garde electronic to jazz to classical, it is all part of the music of Dark Side of the Moon and Kruth explores all of it and more in detail with behind-the-scenes reveals and unexpected insights. In-depth interviews with musicians, artists, DJs and many who have developed deeply personal relationships with this record including a passionate astrophysicist and a leading brain surgeon’s nurse who literally performed surgery while the track “Brain Damage” was being played. I ask John about all of this and more in the interview. This is one of my personal favorite albums. It’s easily my favorite Floyd album and arguably the most universally relatable album of all time.
