The fun and fabulous Bacon Brothers joined host Kenneth Womack to talk about their songwriting parallels with the Beatles and more on the latest episode of "Everything Fab Four," a podcast co-produced by me and Womack (a music scholar who also writes about pop music for Salon) and distributed by Salon.
Kevin Bacon, the veteran actor known for such hit movies as "Footloose," "A Few Good Men" and "Apollo 13," among many others, and his older brother Michael, a music professor and award-winning composer with hundreds of credits to his name, have been performing as the duo the Bacon Brothers since 1995. But their musical roots actually go back to childhood, as they grew up in a family of six siblings who all brought various tastes into the house.
