Episode 532 - Colin Hay

The narrative for Colin Hay's career goes like this - fronts huge pop band (Men at Work) who explode on the scene, win Grammys and a ton of hits in a short amount of time, goes solo, releases incredible album after incredible album to a small cult that love him but with no commercial success. That may be partially true, but that cult has gotten so big and the reputation so strong, is it even a secret anymore? He's about to take the current version of Men at Work on tour with friends Christopher Cross and Toto and he just released another perfect album (he has many) called Man @ Work 2 where he reimagines songs from his catalog again. We discuss this journey including his relationship with his old bandmates, his "underdog" status, Scrubs, songwriting, birthdays and more. He's a national treasure. Enjoy!
