I’m 52… Why Am I MORE Obsessed With Rock & Roll Now? | Ep #47

In this Episode

Apparently, at 52 I was supposed to grow out of this stuff.

Instead, I’m buying more guitars, seeing some bands for the 10th, 20th — or maybe 50th — time, taking ridiculous rock & roll road trips, drinking whiskey and now somehow deciding that one podcast a week isn’t enough.

So yeah… I’m Leaving Right After This Drink is officially going to TWO episodes a week.

New episodes will now drop Tuesdays and Thursdays, with Tuesday being the regular show and Thursday being a shorter, 10–15 minute hit-it-and-quit-it episode.

But that got me thinking: Why do some of us never grow out of rock & roll?

I just bought tickets to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra again — probably for the 15th time. I’ve seen George Thorogood somewhere around 50 times. I’ll get in a car and drive hundreds of miles to see a band I’ve already seen before, and I’m already thinking about the next rock & roll road trip.

We talk TSO, George Thorogood, Black Label Society, Zakk Sabbath, Dark Chapel, Airbourne, guitars, concerts and why some bands keep us coming back year after year.

Plus, I look back at how rough the first episodes of this podcast were, what’s changed, the interviews with Big Rig from 98ROCK and tour-bus driver Jeremy Owsley, what’s coming next — and the two times somebody dropped the F-bomb on the radio while I was sitting next to them.
