The Pop Culture Road Trip
The Pop Culture Road Trip
A band that matters…
By
Chris Epting
On this, the eve of the tour, I thought I’d share this. Back in January, I interviewed Claudio Sanchez about Coheed and Cambria’s upcoming tour – going back to their roots, playing ‘The Second Stage Turbine Blade’ in its entirety (along with a special acoustic set and an additional electric set). It was a for a…
My discussion with Yusuf, aka Cat Stevens
By
Chris Epting
Four decades after recording his emblematic song “Peace Train,” Yusuf Islam (also known as Cat Stevens) released “My People,” a free download available on www.yusuf.ae and digital platforms worldwide. The just-released single ‘My People’ also includes a unique chorus quilted together from the hundreds of voices sent in from across the globe by fans who…
Ina Garten, “The Barefoot Contessa” Denies Make a Wish Request… Twice!
By
Chris Epting
I don’t know Ina Garten, have never met Ina Garten – but if the reports are true – I’m not sure I’d want to. From TMZ: “Garten, known to many by her TV moniker ‘Barefoot Contessa,’ has refused to meet a 6-year-old boy suffering from cancer, despite his multiple pleas. The boy, Enzo, is suffering…
Sammy Hagar and the UFOs
By
Chris Epting
You may have read recently about rocker Sammy Hagar’s claims that he was abducted, or at least had a close encounter with an ET or a UFO. Well the day after that all broke, I sat down with Sammy to talk about it. Here’s the article I wrote for AOL News, along with some exclusive…
For Everyman In Tucson – My Interview With Jackson Browne
By
Chris Epting
Recently I interviewed Jackson Browne for Spinner. com on the heels of his benefit show in Tucson, Arizona. Here is the piece in its entirety: He joined the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band in 1966, and played on and wrote songs for Nico’s 1967 solo debut (“Chelsea Girl”). But it was his 1972 debut album that…
Pop Culture Meltdown – Charlie Sheen Edition Part II
By
Chris Epting
I think people (especially people looking to blame conditions such as bi-polar disorder) are forgetting that Charlie Sheen, before this latest rush of shriek-for-help interviews, had proven himself to be at least a little bit nuts. (from the NY Daily News last year: “Feb 04 2010, New York — Charlie Sheen has great timing. Just…
Pop Culture Meltdown – Charlie Sheen Edition
By
Chris Epting
This Today Show interview with Charlie Sheen is seriously must-watch stuff – that is, if you’re interested in seeing a real-time, last-inning disintegration of a C-level celebrity. One time he was one of the new breed rat pack – in my opinion a group of overrated, spoiled Hollywood kids – but today he is a…
Having faith in the music – a chat with the Grateful Dead’s Bob Weir
By
Chris Epting
At the NAMM show in January, I popped into the Meyer Sound theater one afternoon to hear a presentation from none other than former-Grateful Dead-member-current-Rat-Dog/Further member Bob Weir. Weir was discussing the revolutionary studio he’s creating in San Rafael, Calif. Working with longtime Dead sound sculptors John Meyers and John Cutler (among several others), Weir…
A chat with the President of Quark Expeditions
By
Chris Epting
Hans Lagerweij is the President of Quark Expeditions, the leader in polar travel. As you may know my daughter and I traveled with Quark last fall to Snow Hill Island, Antarctica (below is a photo I took of some fellow travelers in a Zodiac boat near Devil Island). The trip was unlike anything I’ve ever…
Mixed Martial Arts Legend Dan Caldwell Taps Into Children’s Fashions
By
Chris Epting
“Both parents and kids are loving the styles and fashions we’re making available. We get great e-mails from happy parents, and as a father of three, that really means a lot.” Call it the softer side of Dan Caldwell, co-founder of the mixed martial arts pop culture phenomenon TapouT. TapouT clothing and gear are one…
