Read MoreAmong the highlights on the 2003 interview page are interviews with Dave Grohl, Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Farrell and an acoustic performance from members of Queens Of The Stone Age. Also, in March of that year, Linkin Park hosted an album release party for “Meteora” in Dallas, so I flew up there with some lucky listeners and spoke with members of the band. June of 2003 was turbulent for San Antonio’s own The Union Underground, as they parted ways with their record label, so frontman Bryan Scott visited my production studio to discuss all things UU. The Ozzfest 2003 tour kicked off in June in San Antonio, so the night before the tour launch, several acts visited the 99.5 KISS studios for various interviews with the on-air staff. Myself, along with Randy Bonillas, sat down for an extensive conversation with Marilyn Manson. Go to the 2003 Interview Page.

As ridiculous as it sounds, I became bored with interviewing bands towards the end of my radio career in 2006. Soon after I departed the radio world, I found myself surrounded by measuring spoons, chicken stock and I developed a slight obsession with Japanese Chef Knives. I’ll quickly and vaguely gloss over the minor detail of nearly meeting my maker after owning two restaurants and bring it back around to dabbling in the music business, once again. The radio days were 99.5% (insert rolling eyes emoji here) audio, this go around, the visual medium of concert photography.
