The Story Behind: Robbie Williams - Life Thru a Lens, 179
Description
Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Robbie Williams started his career in a manufactured boy band phenomenon, then left all that to try his hand at a solo career. The boys discuss the zero edge approach to modern pop music, buying songs from grieving fathers, and the worst of 1990s CD culture excess: the secret track.
