A little rock star craziness
Stephen Pearcy (former lead singer for Ratt) stopped by the WRIF studios to be part of the new “Amped on the 80s” Saturday night show. Most of the funny stuff happened on the way.The RIFF is near 8 Mile and Coolidge. Stephen called my cell phone and said “I just got off 94 on 8 Mile, am I close?” “94! Who gave you directions? Drive down 8 Mile for 10 miles or so and call me when you see signs for I-75.”The next time he called he said “I see some freeway signs, are you near 275?” I said “Good God man, you just drove the entire length of 8 Mile!”After several additional phone calls and asking fellow Detroiters for directions the self-proclaimed “RATT Bastard” made it to the station, and we had a great conversation. We got along so well in fact, we are contemplating working on a future TV project together! What can I say life is crazy.One last note. I didn’t know that Stephen Pearcy played guitar. He told me that when he auditioned for his first band it was to be the guitarist. The band said we don’t need a guitar player, can you sing?…and the rest is rock & roll history!Listen for that story and many others as Stephen Pearcy makes a guest appearance on my syndicated guitar show, the Chop Shop on Sunday, February 6th at 9am on the RIFF.
Black out.
