8:14Now PlayingDo rock stars live in a completely different reality? Bill Maher and Billy Iol talk about the strange bubble of music fame, from the wild energy of new artists like Yungblud to the timeless pop power of Tommy James.
The conversation jumps from Idol’s explosive success with Mony Mony to the hypnotic groove of Crimson and Clover, and why sometimes a great rock song doesn’t even need meaningful lyrics — if the sound makes people move.

ABOUT BILL MAHER
Bill Maher was the host of “Politically Incorrect” (Comedy Central, ABC) from 1993-2002, and for the last 23 years on HBO’s “Real Time,” Maher’s combination of unflinching honesty and big laughs have garnered him 41 Emmy nominations. Maher won his first Emmy in 2014 as executive producer for the HBO series, “VICE.” In October of 2008, this same combination was on display in Maher’s uproarious and unprecedented swipe at organized religion, “Religulous.”

Politically Incorrect’s Greatest Hits,” “When You Ride Alone, You Ride with Bin Laden,” “New Rules: Polite Musings from a Timid Observer,” “The New New Rules: A Funny Look at How Everybody But Me Has Their Head Up Their Ass", and most recently "What This Comedian Said Will Shock You".
