It seems appropriate that we publish our 50th episode featuring a singer/songwriter who is celebrating her 50th year on stage. That’s right… She started when she was TWO at the Ann Arbor Blues Fest in 1969.
She’s been recording with Bob Seger since 1972’s Katmandu and started singing with him on the road in 1978. She also sang on Eric Clapton’s “Behind the Sun” album and performed on that tour as well, including their show at Live A...

Here’s someone else who has SEEN IT ALL. She was first recruited by Kim Fowley to join the all-femal band the Runaways and in 1979 she headed out on her own. In 1980, after the breakup of the Runaways, she signed with Mercury Records and released her solo debut: Out For Blood. From there, she continued until 1995, when she went on a hiatus. In 2008, she came back with a vengeance and hasn’t let up since.

Denny Laine was a co-founding member of the Moody Blues. He left the band in 1966 to form the Electric String Orchestra. From there it was Ginger Baker’s Air Force. Along the way, he got to know Paul McCartney musically and personally and after some other projects, it was on to help form Wings with Paul and Linda.
There’s PLENTY more to learn so have a listen to the conversation Finn had with the legendary Denny Laine.

Alice Cooper is one of the main-stays of rock music and the godfather of shock. You're just as likely to see him spending time with a guillotine as you are with a pet snake or playing 9 holes of golf.

Begin the Begin is the first biography of R.E.M. wholly researched and written since they disbanded in 2011. It offers by far the most detailed account of the group's formative years--their early lives, their first encounters with one another, their legendary debut show, early tours in the back of a van, initial recordings, their shrewdly paced rise to fame.
