On this Randy Cooke interview, tons of cool stories: Playing with Tom Morello, Rik Emmett, Steve Stevens, Ian Thornley, Long John Baldry (at age 19!), Mick Jagger, Ringo Starr, Sass Jordan (in front of 450K people!) life-changing serendipitous musical encounters, hand-bombing, sneaking into a club (with his mom) to see The Police!... webbed feet, learning when to say “This isn’t a fit for me,” taking steps to change his situation, cooking, Call of Duty, Italy, moving to America, and why you need to acknowledge there are NO guarantees in life. GREAT Convo, super cool and real!
