|
|
Had a great conversation with Ira Robbins, co-founder and publisher of the old Trouser Press magazine - my favorite music mag while growing up in the 1970s. They were always fans of the band, and friends of Sparks.
Great insights from the unique perspective of a revered journalist. I think you'll enjoy the conversation. And some may not agree with everything he says - but if we all agreed, that would make life boring, wouldn't it! :)
Anyway, I hope you enjoy, and if you could take a moment to subscribe, that would be great. Thanks for your support!

I enjoyed this interview a lot, especially the part about the afterparty from one of Sparks' early gigs which was held at a Burger King on 58th Street (Manhattan). Ira Robbins says that he has a picture of Ron and Russell chowing down on burgers!!! _________________ better drop the requirement that everything be great |

Different perspective on the band, never any harm in hearing that. I’ll be keeping my out for the book
Well done Monte, another interesting guest |

Glad you like the interview and I think it's important to show different perspectives. The book is a few years away though! You all should come on the show and contribute! :-) _________________ Check out my new YouTube show all about Sparks and their fans!
