Prince's 1984 film "Purple Rain" is headed to Broadway. So, Will is joined by Marcus Taylor, the shows' resident Prince expert, to discuss the potential for a musical adaption. While the film was a a box office success, Prince's protagonist "The Kid" isn't the hero of the piece you'd hope for. Will changes to the original story be necessary to make audiences root for him? Or is the amazing music sufficient enough to make the plot irrelevant?Email your thoughts to us at will@1980snow.com or kat@1980snow.com.Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/1980snow.Become a patron at www.patreon.com/1980snow.For more episodes of 1980s Now and information about the show visit www.1980snow.com.

In 2020, less than a year after the launch of our inaugural podcast, we reached out to a number of iconic 1980s artists who would wanted to interview. And although at the time we did not have a track record of celebrity interviews, Cindy Morgan ("Caddyshack", "Tron") accepted our invitation. To our delight, she was more than just polite, she was generous, vulnerable, and honest.In our interview, we discuss the career path that landed the former radio host in "Caddyshack," a film in which she appeared opposite the biggest comedic actors of the era. Cindy also shares her experience with producer Jon Peters that derailed what seemed to be her path to stardom.Sadly, Cindy died last month at her home in Florida.Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/1980snow.Become a patron at www.patreon.com/1980snowFor more episodes of 1980s Now and information about the show visit www.1980snow.comEmail us at will@1980snow.com or kat@1980snow.com.
