Mr. Media is recorded live before a studio audience of guys who may have sold more records and earned higher paydays for their concerts but who would trade it all for an ounce of the credibility and integrity of Graham Parker… in the NEW new media capital of the world… St. Petersburg, Florida!

Graham Parker?

Graham friggin’ Parker?

Where the hell has that guy been?

If you made a list of artists whose rock ‘n’ roll personified the sound of the mid-to-late 1970s, I think Graham Parker and The Rumour would have to be near the top.
GRAHAM PARKER podcast excerpt: "I emailed the people in The Rumour and most said, 'Hell, yes! Let's go! There wasn't too much of 'I don't know if that's the right thing to do...' It was the perfect time to reunite. After I did it, I looked on the Internet and saw that almost every band in the world had already done the same thing and I was like, 'D'OHHH! Not very original is it?'"

The top, that is, of the lists of people who actually heard the man and his band.

He was the guy that the major rock critics insisted you had to know, whether you liked it or not. Frankly, I think one of the things that hurt Graham Parker and The Rumour was that the people who loved them demanded we love them, too, which was kind of a turn-off for some folks.

It also didn’t help that Parker’s reputation with much of the press was as a distant, difficult chap to get to know and get close to.
