Interviews

Even though my next book, "Iron Maiden at 50," does not get released until next month, I'm already getting some love for the book after it. "Rush & 2112" comes out in March 2026, and Rush Brasil (a Brazilian Rush fan site) threw a few questions my way about it. Enjoy!

After the passing of the mighty Ozzy Osbourne, I was interviewed by the NY Post to talk about his life and his final concert. I'm still processing it a week later, but I feel like this was not too terrible for an on-the-spot, grief-stricken interview.

Greetings. I was interviewed by the Afternoons with Leith Forrest podcast from Australia to discuss the very sad passing of the great Ozzy Osbourne. This was conducted just a couple of hours after the news came through, and it was kind of surreal. Anyway, press the button and listen to my trenchant insights.

My chins and I are back! I did a fantastic, sprawling interview about RUSH @ 50 with John Beaudin of the Rock History Music podcast, and he's going to split it up into a few episodes, so here's the first one. Enjoy!

The final podcast of this year of our lord 2024 is upon us! This time, I discussed "RUSH at 50" with Mike Wiles of Retro Rock Roundup, and it was glorious. Press the button!

Please enjoy my latest podcast interview for "RUSH @ 50," this time with Staci Layne Wilson of Rock & Roll Nightmares. It was a great interview and she asked insightful questions, but it's a good thing I didn't find out until after I did it that her father had been a member of the Ventures. I would have been too awestruck to answer intelligently if I had known that beforehand.

My latest "RUSH @ 50" podcast interview is up. This time, my victim is Métal Maniaques, a music and horror podcast who had me on last year. We had a long and winding discussion in which we touched on both topics, including why CGI sucks. Press the button!

I know next to nothing about sports, yet I was nonetheless invited to appear on The Sports-Casters podcast to discuss RUSH @ 50. Press the little button thingy below to hear it. I'm at the 1:15:25 mark.

Here's my latest RUSH @ 50 interview, with the mighty Rita Wilde and CW West of the Rock and Roll Confessional Podcast . This was a really great interview, and Rita and CW are consummate professionals. Press the button!

When the Library of Congress asked me to write an article about Metallica's "Master of Puppets" album in 2018, I said it was a once-in-a-lifetime thing and never expected to be asked to do something else for them. Well, if you live long enough, once-in-a-lifetime stuff can sometimes repeat itself. Thank you to the Library of Congress for asking me to do this – it's often the unexpected, weird little things that can end up being big moments in your career.

That time I got published in the Library of Congress. It was one of those once-in-a-lifetime things.
