#513-Paul Rappaport, The Shirtless Wood Boy, and Turtle Peanuts
Manage episode 483745796 series 2364095
We've never used a blimp to promote our show, but our guest certainly has used one to promote his. Only, his show featured Pink Floyd. Today, we are joined by the legendary, Paul Rappaport, aka "Rap". With over 30 years at Columbia Records, Paul has worked with everybody from Pink Floyd, to Bob Dylan, to Bruce Springsteen, to the Rolling Stones. We cover a lot with Paul from his early career, to playing on stage with Pink Floyd, to shooting a high powered laser across LA, and breaking Alice in Chain's "Man in the Box". Paul had tremendous stories, which many can be found in his great new book, Gliders Over Hollywood: Airships, Airplay, and the Art of Rock Promotion.
We also learn about a very strange music festival Mike attended, Mike brags about his sperm, and Scott's son has some interesting theories on turtles. Another great week. Have a listen!
