& 2007 - and the
GREAT news is that it
looks like we're doing
it again in the summer

With the lovely Patty
Smyth from Scandal
after setting her up
for a Bands Reunited
ambush.  She was so
nice about it, and I
hear that she enjoyed
the experience so
much that Scandal
may tour again this
year - for the first
time in more than two
decades!  How cool.
First I went backstage
with Duran Duran in
December 2004 to
present them with a
lifetime achievement
award, then they
went on and rocked
the Arrowhead Pond.  
You have GOT to
catch them live this
time around.
Hanging out with Rick
Nielsen of Cheap Trick,
prior to introducing
one of their shows.  
November, 2004.
Backstage in Manchester
with a member of one of
the most influential
bands in modern music
history - Glenn Matlock
of the Sex Pistols.  
Without the Pistols we
might still be listening to
Christopher Cross and
Leo Sayer.  Glenn was
playing with an all-star
band "Dead Men
Walking" featuring
members of The Cult,
The Mission, The Alarm
and, of course, The
Pistols.
Back in the day,
(1984), directing a TV
shoot with Madness
for a show I hosted
and produced called
VideoBeat.  Check
back with this site,
because coming soon,
a page on some of my
old TV shows (and
maybe video clips!) of
MV3, Video One and
VideoBeat.
