 That Eric Alper Show SiriusXM Host and Publicist, Eric Alper

The gang talks about live music making a huge comeback, why people are upset that Billie Eilish doesn't know who Van Halen is, the huge importance that cultural context plays towards a song and why Eric Alper loves Jerry Lee Lewis, among other things.

Eric Alper had nothing for lunch, but during the show, he was eating Skittles. Because it contained everything that he wanted … “sugar, sugar, and more sugar.”
