(Don't) Quit Your Day Job: Recent Episodes
Paul Neil
Did you move to LA in the 80's to make it on Sunset Strip? There are many stories about making music for a living. Sometimes you need a day job and sometimes you play the worst gig. Let's talk about the stuff that happened with people who have "made it" or "come close" or played to a dog in an otherwise empty room. There are funny and enlightening stories out there, so I started a podcast to tell these stories.
Today on You Listen to Hot Garbage, Mike Jacobs (On The Cinder) defends the worst that Buffalo, NY has to offer. We listen to the song Amigone by The Goo Goo Dolls and talk about soulless corporate rock.
