I saw that too, Roy was the member of the duo who was attacked by a tiger during a show in the early 2000s. That was an early example of prophecies on The Simpsons, where in an episode in the mid 1990s a casino opens in Springfield, and in a parody of the Siegfried and Roy stage show a tiger goes wild and attacks the two men.

Little Richard — Disgraceland

Sex and the Duality of the King and Queen of Rock ‘N’ Roll

www.disgracelandpod.com

Disgraceland podcast
Little Richard is the originator. Without him it’s hard to imagine the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Elton John or even Led Zeppelin. He blazed a trail through popular culture that previous to him did not exist. His music was completely original for the time, the essence of rock ‘n’ roll, filled with impassioned energy, fueled at times by large quantities of drugs and always brimming with sex. The sex, the drugs, and the party for Little Richard, it was as endless as the manic energy that drove his music and it all nearly derailed him––several times––landing him behind bars and on the wrong side of the gun.

The warning on this one is Sex sex sex sex
