| Mancow at Band Camp |
Sex & drugs & rock N' roll!
(Well, Rock N' Roll anyways.) I've interviewed stars before but it was never like this! I made life long friends with some of the greats of modern music because of Rock N' Roll Fantasy Camp. (Rockcamp.WS)
Except for the birth of my daughters I've never cried from joy like at Rock camp. Imagine singing lead while Nick Mason (founding member of "Pink Floyd"), Alan White (YES), Simon Kirke (Bad Company), underrated great Mickey Dolenz (The Monkees), Elliot Easton (The Cars), and members of Kiss, ACDC, Guns N' Roses, The Knack, The Hudson Brothers, The Archies, The John Mayer band, and many others, groove along.
Do you have any musical talent? I don't! It's not about that really. You break bread, share stories, and dream, with some of your heroes. You'll be there side-by-side with school teachers, future stars like Lady Fox (a hot single L.A. singer!) Ed Oates one of the founders of Oracle, Berent O. Bodel of American Seafood that provides all the fish for every fast food restaurant, and just regular folk.
The whole shebang is produced by David Fishoff the impresario who reformed "The Monkees," Sent Ringo out on the road with an All Star Band, & repped Lou Pinella and Fred Dryer. How about a private show with rocks greatest living legend The Beach Boy's Brian Wilson? He zombie stumbled onto (&off) the stage but when he preformed it was a religious experience.
How about talking to Nick Mason (Pink Floyd) about crazy Syd Barrett, pissed off Roger Waters, and being part of the greatest rock song ever- "Comfortably Numb"? When I asked about their CD "Dark Side of The Moon" synching up with "The Wizard of Oz" he replied "you smoke enough weed mate and watch any movie and parts will seem to match!" Alan White, on recording "Imagine" (with John Lennon): "Three takes. Two rehearsals and we kept the third."
Brook Taylor was there from the hit HBO reality series "Cat House." At the brothel she's a blond hard bodied prostitute but at Rock Camp she was a singing sensation! Glen Hughes (of Deep Purple & Black Sabbath fame) is my brother form another mother. He did more drugs & groupies than Jim Morison and yet made it out looking 30 and rocking harder. Wait! Conference call with "The Moody Blues" and then its off to record an original song. With 5 brain tumors, Doug Fieger leader of "The Knack" (who sang "My Sharona") asks me to get my church to pray for him.
Why is Ron "The Hedgehog" Jeremy here name -dropping? My guess is the free food. Hef's three girlfriends from "The Girls Next Door" want to come see us perform at The House of Blues on the Sunset Strip? Okay!!! Roger Daltrey from The Who & Slash were here and I missed it? All walks of mortals mingle and bond and are changed forever for a price that's less than what I paid for two Paul McCartney tickets in Chicago. And I didn't get to be up on stage with McCartney! Now I'm home raising kids, getting nagged at by my wife & doing my grueling radio show-can't wait to live the dream again at the next Rock camp!
