    Great White Guitarist Mark Kendall [Episode 204]
    Jun 29 2024
    It’s another chapter in The Dialogue Series - A chill ‘n chat with authors, fellow podcasters, musicians, and more. Our guest is Great White guitarist and founding member Mark Kendall.

    Kendall is the founding member of the the Grammy nominated band whose sold over 10 million albums worldwide, has six Top 100 Billboard hits including the top ten single “Once Bitten, Twice Shy”, nine Top 200 Billboard albums, and two platinum albums. Kendall took some time out during Great White’s summer tour to talk about his days growing up in Huntington Beach, California, the artists and bands who influenced him, the formation of Great White, their rise to fame by the end of the 80s and the stories behind the biggest hits including “Rock Me”, “Save Your Love”, “Once Bitten Twice Shy”, “House Of Broken Love”, “Mista Bone”, and “Call It Rock & Roll”. I also asked Kendall if he’s got some favorite rock and roll books in his library and if he ever plans on writing a book.

  • Untold Stories From the Widows of Ronnie Van Zant, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Keith Moon & More [Episode 203]

    Untold Stories From the Widows of Ronnie Van Zant, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Keith Moon & More [Episode 203]
    Jun 25 2024
    Lori Tucker-Sullivan is a first-time guest. She’s the author of the new book I Can't Remember If I Cried: Rock Widows on Life, Love, and Legacy. The stories of rock musicians who die young are the thing of lore and legend. Accidents, drug overdoses, plane crashes—all have taken the lives of male rock stars still in their primes. But what became of their widowed brides? How did they survive a loss so great? What is it like to have to share your grief with millions of strangers? And where are these widows today?

    I Can’t Remember if I Cried is part music history, part memoir, based around interviews with rock widows conducted by Lori —who herself lost her husband in 2010. With each widow that Lori interviews, she learns lessons in love, forgiveness, coping, and moving on. The book is framed by the author’s own narrative to create a single thread that links the stories together to ultimately create a tale of how the author’s life is changed through her interactions with these amazing women. Among the women profiled in the book are:
    • Judy Van Zant who, after losing husband Ronnie of Lynyrd Skynyrd, sued the re-formed band in order to protect her interests.
    • Sandy Chapin, widow of Harry Chapin, who has worked tirelessly to uphold Harry’s significant legacy around activism and hunger prevention.
    • Crystal Zevon, the ex-wife of Warren Zevon, who provides details of her abusive relationship with Warren and how she resolved her anger and grief.
    • Jamie Weiland, widow of Stone Temple Pilots’ Scott Weiland, speaking openly of Scott’s mental health, which at times kept him housebound for days.
    • Janna Leblanc, girlfriend of Stevie Ray Vaughan, who shares the details of her visits with Stevie in rehab.
    • Gloria Jones, the girlfriend of T. Rex’s Marc Bolan who was driving the car which crashed and took Marc’s life.
    • Anna Walter-Lax, girlfriend of Who drummer Keith Moon
    Lori shares with us some of what these women shared with her for the book and how her life has been changed as a result of writing this book.

  • Rock Chronicles: Joe Matera Unveils the Backstage and Beyond with Music Legends [Episode 197]

    Rock Chronicles: Joe Matera Unveils the Backstage and Beyond with Music Legends [Episode 197]
    May 8 2024
    Joe Matera is a returning guest to the podcast. Joe has a brand new book titled Louder Than Words: Beyond The Backstage Pass. This is a follow-up to 2021’s Backstage Pass: The Grit and the Glamour. Joe holds a unique position as a music journalist who is also a professional musician. It’s allowed him access to areas where music journalists aren’t able to.

    In this, his second book, Joe traces his childhood influences and meets the musicians who changed his life from heroes such as Janne Schaffer, who played on ABBA’s studio albums, to Gerry Rafferty (the genius behind ‘Baker Street’) and international superstar Bryan Adams and his songwriting partner Jim Vallance. Louder Than Words also delves into the often torturous touring life of a musician, with life on the road often leading to band break-ups or mental breakdowns. Joe also examines the impact of MTV on a generation of musicians, particularly one video by rising rock star Billy Squier that’s said to have ruined his career.

    In addition to his solo music career as a singer/songwriter/guitarist, Joe Matera has written for international music magazines like Guitar Player, Guitar World, Record Collector, and Goldmine. He also writes a popular newspaper music column for the Shepparton News. His list of interviewees includes Metallica, Queen, Blondie, Bon Jovi, KISS, and Black Sabbath, to name just a few.
