Get the Knack!

Last year my friend Rick and I started a new guitar/music podcast. Our latest episode is on the album Get the Knack. I feel like “My Sharona” was the biggest rock ‘n’ roll hit of my childhood. Turns out it wasn’t as big as I thought it was. I do think it’s interesting that Kurt Cobain cited The Knack as an influence, and it seems to me that “Smells Like Teen Spirit” was the biggest rock hit since “My Sharona”. It’s almost like he willed it. We talk about that and more on this episode.
