  • Robert Corn-Revere: The Lawyer Who Pardoned Lenny Bruce
    Jun 23 2026

    The man who won Lenny Bruce a pardon four decades after his death turns out to be a tuba player who came to jazz through Dave Brubeck. Robert Corn-Revere has spent more than 40 years as a First Amendment attorney, and on this episode he and Mike Jones trade the law for the record store: classic rock, the ritual of dropping eight bucks on an album, and why the music of that era still fills the same bar he drank in back in college.

    Then the cases. Bob walks through the posthumous pardon of Lenny Bruce, the FBI's year-and-a-half hunt for dirty words in "Louie Louie," the Tipper Gore "porn rock" hearings where Frank Zappa stole the show, and the eight-year fight over Janet Jackson's nine-sixteenths of a second at the Super Bowl.

  • Michelle Jones: From Page & Plant to Maluma, Disney to Changing Copyright Law
    Jun 11 2026

    Violinist, violist, composer, producer, and world's first LED string ensemble founder Michelle Jones joins The Stereo Image for a wide-ranging conversation about a remarkable career built on versatility and relationships. Michelle shares the story behind her orchestration work on Maluma's "Botero" (recorded under NDA on Halloween, now with over 4 million streams), the debut of the Robert Kerr Ensemble at Carnegie Hall, and Violectric - the group she founded that plays rock and pop on light-up, wirelessly DMX-controlled instruments.

    She also opens up about a legal battle that changed U.S. copyright law for content creators, her 26 years as a Disney seasonal solo musician (one of only seven in the world with that status), a Grammy nomination for a children's album featuring Alice Cooper and Slash, and what it's like recording in her home studio just three miles from the Magic Kingdom - fireworks and all.
