It’s easy to dismiss some of the shiny, feel-good pop of the ’70s as “schlock.”

But here’s the truth: Neil Sedaka was foundational.

Before the comeback hits… before the wedding anthems… he was a Brill Building architect helping design the very structure of modern pop songwriting. “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do.” “Calendar Girl.” “Love Will Keep Us Together.” Those aren’t novelties — they’re blueprints.

His story deserves more than nostalgia. It deserves recognition.

If you’re a fan of John Bohnam, or Keith Moon, or Neil Pert…YOU should know this man’s name too! But you don’t…cuz he lost his mind!

This heartbreaking tale was the first story I started working on back in 2018. He should have been one of the greats, but what he did was unforgivable!

I’ve been under the weather this week, so I’ve had a lot of time on my hands to do research for Jonny’s Dead Air Podast. So I’m in bed listening to another gruesome documentary, when my wife sticks her head in and says, “You doing, ok?” I just flash the screen of my phone towards her while the narrator is describing a murder scene.

She smiles and says, “Just chillin’ with the killin’???”

She so gets me!
