Dan Epstein – music journalist, author and podcaster
Dan Epstein talks about co-writing the autobiography of cult band Redd Kross, jamming with Roger Daltrey at the Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp in Las Vegas and leaving in a wheelchair (the two things aren't connected!), the effect that first seeing The Kids Are Alright had on him, seeing spiritual elements within ‘A Quick One, While He’s Away’, attempting to be an edgy music journalist and writing negatively about the band for Ugly Things magazine in his early 20s, and how FM radio was the ideal platform for increasing The Who’s popularity in America.
