About
Confessions of a Rock 'n' Roll Name-Dropper: My Life Leading Up to John Lennon's Last Interview is my memoir, the story of my rock radio-related early life and career wrapped around John Lennon’s final interview which I co-conducted for RKO Radio at the Dakota in New York back on December 8, 1980 mere hours before he was shot and killed ! And if you get my book, you'll also have a copy of John and Yoko's autograph they both gave me that day in Yoko's book Grapefruit! I also wrote and titled the super well-received RKO special that aired a mere 6 days after John’s assassination: John Lennon - The Man, The Memory, as well as RKO Presents The Beatles/The Beatles From Liverpool to Legend which I also co-produced when I began working in the newsroom at KFRC AM radio in San Francisco, and that's fully described and featured in my memoir ! Plus my book features my incredible interviews with Paul and Linda McCartney and their latest lineup of Wings including the late/great Denny Laine back in June, 1979 in London, plus George Harrison in December ’78, and Beatles producer George Martin in January 1980 - and I also conducted so many more super cool rockstar interviews that are also featured, described, and quoted in my book...everyone from Mick Jagger to David Bowie, the Ramones, Little Richard and so many more! And then later in life, I created and produced BMG's Country Music Video Magazine, and interviewed everyone from Garth Brooks to Marty Stuart and spent lots of time in Nashville! I’ve also guested this past year+ on a number of podcasts, radio, TV and online publications - many of which are featured auidio & video on my book’s website! https://www.confessionsofarocknrollnamedropper.com
