Classic rock historian & scribe John Einarson drops by the pod to talk about the music biz as it was. John has authored or co-authored over a dozen books covering subjects like Neil Young, The Guess Who, Randy Bachman, Buffalo Springfield, Ian & Sylvia, the Byrds and Steppenwolf. In this episode we cover subjects ranging from
breaking into the big-time, needling record deals and management fails. The record biz is a real two-step and you have to get your footwork right if you want to groove with the alphas!
