Well, Michael Reedle needs no introduction, but he's getting one anyway. Of course, you listen to him on the morning show with Len Berman, 6 to 10 every morning. He's the great voice of Broadway, and he's written two bestsellers, which you should get, if you haven't read them. Singular sensation is the recent one, and razzle-dazzle, the two best books on Broadway. Michael Reedle, how you doing?

I'm fine, Mark. How are you doing?

I'm beginning to think about my third book,

and it's going to be for Simon and Schuster,

and it's going to be about the story of 10 Broadway shows

that had a kind of impact on the culture

and on Broadway at the time. And, you know, I'm going to begin with, and this is kind of impact on the culture and on Broadway at the time. And you know, I'm going to begin with.

And this is kind of a blast. Well, wait. Let me see if I can guess. Obviously, rent would be one of them.

No, no, no. No, I wrote about that in singular sensation. I'm doing different shows. But I'm going to

start out with Jesus Christ Superstar, because that was one of the early rock musicals. But I really want to write about, and you would know this guy. Remember Robert Stigwood? Yeah, of course. From Australia, the Bee Gees.

Yep, yep. He did Saturdays fever. He did Greece. He did the Beegies. And he is the total forgotten

mogul. He looms so large back in the day. He kind of invented the 70s. The whole sound of the 70s was

invented by Robert Stigwood. And he just became this recluse toward the end of his life. And I've

always wanted to write about him. He's no longer with us, sadly. But I did try to approach him once.

And I got his number from Andrew Lloyd Weberber and Tim Rice and they gave me his private

phone number and I called him and his butler Patric a French guy would answer and say hello

the Stigwood residence I'd say could I talk to Mr. Stigwood he's resting he will call you back

and he never called me back so I said to Andrew and I said to Tim,

can you guys make a call on my behalf, you know, to see if I could meet him, just talk to him.

I'd love to write his biography or something. And then they both called me back and they said,

Patricke picked up and they said, hello, he's resting. He will call you back. And he never called any of us back. I mean, bizarre.

He's like the Howard Hughes of a, of moguldom from the 1970s.
