The Kinks: The Up and Downs of Fame
Episode 7
Episode date - November 17, 2017
Last show we discussed the differences in attitude that the Davies brothers had toward fame, with Dave hell bent on pushing himself to enjoy all of it while he could (and usually going much too far), while his brother Ray seemed to constantly focus on the aspects that seemed grossly unfair, insulting and even damaging to his own soul.
At this point in time, Dave was definitely a ‘glass is half full’ kind of guy while Ray was quickly developing a ‘glass is almost empty’ persona. With this episode we explore the reasons for these disparate attitudes.
