From March, 1997. In 2008 the band has put the Rhode Island nightclub fire behind them as best they can, recently returned to the studio with all original members and put out a new album, and are on the 80s Invasion package tour, so there may never be a more timely moment than now to revisit this interview. Jack talks about the band hitting 15 years, some dirt on firing their manager, and is just a down-to-earth, chill guy. I also impress him with my research skills. This was only the 3rd interview I had ever done. I can hear it in my voice. ugh. For me, this is like dragging out some awkward teenage-years photos...LOL. But it was a fun interview.
Artist interviews and memorable on-air moments over my 12+ years in rock radio.
POSTED AND COMING SOON: interviews with Micks Mars of Motley Crue, Seether, Duff McKagan of Velvet Revolver and Guns 'n Roses, Hinder, Shinedown, Trapt, Henry Rollins, Daniel Adair of Nickelback and 3 Doors Down, comedian Brian Regan, Geoff Tate of Queensryche, Gary Cherone of Van Halen and Extreme, Rich Robinson of Black Crowes, and many more if i can find 'em!

I got into radio because of my love of music and my wonder at the creative types that make it...and that is still true today. I'm on 93.3 WMMR in Philadelphia. I have also been on air at Max 95.7-Philadelphia, 99.9 The Hawk-Allentown, PA, WZZO-Allentown, PA, 107.5 Frank FM-Reading, PA, 107.9 WPMR-Mt. Pocono, PA and 96.3 The Blaze-Missoula, MT. The formats have spanned the rock universe: Active Rock, Alternative, Classic Rock, Mainstream Rock, Classic Hits, and 80s. This space is devoted to archiving the many interviews I have had the fun of doing over my career and the many interesting on-air moments i've found myself in! Enjoy and thanks for listening!
