Summary

This week we talk about how Felix Pappalardi rose to fame as a songwriter in the 60's folk scene, before becoming a rock icon with bands like Cream and Mountain. Drugs and alcohol took a toll on his career, then caused his marriage to become tumultuous. When he told his wife he had fallen in love with someone else, she decided that if she couldn't have Felix, then nobody could.
