I had the pleasure of interviewing Jason Bonham last week – what a life has he has had.  

Recently, Kiss legend Gene Simmons tied the knot with his longtime paramour. I had the chance to speak with his kids about it…    

Sorry to have been so quiet lately – lots of books deadlines to hit – BUT – I have had the pleasure lately of chatting with some interesting musicians – in particular, John Cooper from the Christian Rock band, Skillet –

I was lucky enough to have seen them in their prime back in the early 80s and their shows were always an electric, joyous, love-filled explosion – the soulful sparks between them were inspirational.

I spoke with former Talking Head David Byrne recently. In addition to talking about his new DVD, he explained how his performance style has changed since those wonderfully quirky days back at CBGB in the mid 1970s… “In the early days, I was driven to get on stage. It was a personal psychological need, a…
