Best known as the lead guitarist and band leader for the Bret Michaels Band, Pete Evick joins us this week to talk about his book MTV FAMOUS. The title may sound a little cocky but it was how Pete viewed his life as a teen, as he was growing up around that phenomenon of a medium for pop and rock stars. "I never realized a lot of these guys I was watching on MTV went to day jobs after playing rock star that day. None of us knew that, actually." This is a fun discussion with lots of laughs and a couple side stories as well.

Prior to that discussion, we catch up on a few things and discuss recent music acquisitions.
