  • From The Nerves to the Badlands: Jack Lee & Dudes (1987)
    Mar 5 2026

    On this week’s episode of Pop Rocks Radio, we’ll dive into the solo work of our favorite mad genius, The Nerves’ frontman, Jack Lee. Plus, when she wasn’t documenting the decline of our Western civilization (oh, how I long for the days when they actually thought MUSIC was going to be our downfall), Penelope Spheeris gave us a punk rock western with Flea, Duckie, and an Elvis impersonator who saves the day. Follow us out West with this week’s tracks!
