SlapperCast Episode 204 (Unedited, Early Release)
🕑 Added 2023-01-09 23:50:11 +0000 UTCHere's our interview with our old friend Bob Ruggiero, music journalist and author, who's been writing for the Houston Press for over 27 years. He was the first journalist to write about Blaggards (he also did a couple articles about Patrick's previous band On the Dole). Bob not only covers the local scene, he's also interviewed countless big names like Eddie Van Halen, David Lee Roth, Brian Wilson, Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson of Thin Lizzy, Alice Cooper, Peter Frampton, and Dave Mason... just to name just a few. We we were also thrilled to learn during this conversation that Bob is currently working on a book that compiles some of his best interviews over the years.
Patrick and I forgot to do our own song kills, so we will likely be filming another short segment for this episode before we publish it tomorrow.
Many thanks to all of you for your support!

Catching up on some episodes. What a great interview. When I first moved to Houston I picked up a copy of the Press to see what was going on, and saw an article of a review of some local band I don't recall, and thought "YES! There is a rock scene here and this guy knows it!" Made me more confident in my move to TX.
