42 min • 21 oktober 2024

In this encore episode of The Story Behind the Song, Blue Öyster Cult's Bruce Dickinson (aka Buck Dharma) chats with host Peter Csathy about the band's iconic "Don't Fear the Reaper." Listen to his insight.

Dharma takes listeners through the history of the band, what "Don't Fear the Reaper" was actually about, how a photo inspired Will Ferrell's classic 2000 Saturday Night Live sketch, and the lasting impact of the tune.
