1:41
Stacy is the daughter of guitarist and founding member Don Wilson. Lot to cover,
1:45
so let's do it. Here is Stacy Lane Wilson. Hi, Stacy,
1:49
Welcome to the Book Down Rock Podcast. Hey, thanks for having me
1:53
on. I'm so happy to be here. It's great to have you on.
1:57
I want to ask you about the new books that you've released and the
2:00
Back and Roll Nightmare series of books. But I'd love to find out more
2:02
about your background. You are a Los Angeles native, correct, I am,
2:07
but Las Vegas for almost five years now, Okay, Now, you
2:12
started writing at the age of twelve, Well, I started writing before that,
2:15
but I was published at the age of twelve and professionally, so yeah,
2:21
I've always loved writing my mom was a writer, so I think that's
2:24
where I got it from. That's cool. So your dad is Don Wilson,
2:28
the guitarist and founding member of The Ventures, who recorded some of the
2:32
most timeless songs, including Hawaii five Oh and Walk Don't Run, Perfidia Apache.
2:38
The list goes on, it does, it goes on and on.
2:42
They did a great version of Wipeout and they had five LPs in the Billboard
2:46
Top one hundred at the same time in nineteen sixty three. That's yeah.
2:52
I wasn't around, but I read. Yeah, huge influence on guitars for
2:57
decades to come. Now your dan pass in early twenty twenty two, Miken
3:00
dolences. I lost my dad about a year and a half ago. Oh,
3:04
yeah, it's well, it's something you never get used to. Yeah,
3:07
and I mean, and he was a huge influence on me as a
3:08
broadcaster or writer. What kind of impact did he have on you while growing
3:13
up? Well? Actually being funny, he loves to tell jokes. He
3:16
was a great fan of dad jokes. In fact, he might have been
3:21
the original the og dad joker. That's the humor, being creative and following
3:28
your dreams, which is the same as my mom. You know, both
3:30
of them never had a day job. They always did what they loved to
3:34
do and found a way to make it work. And you produced the documentary,
3:38
the twenty twenty documentary on your dad's band called The Ventures Stars on Guitars,
3:43
What a List, John Fogerty's in it, Wadi what Tel, Randy
3:46
Bachman, Jeff Skunk, Baxter, Jimmy Page appearing there, along with of
3:50
course your dad. What was that experience like, being able to put together
3:53
all of those great stories and get your dad's stories in there, and get
3:58
all those stories told. Really, it was kind of you know, I
4:00
guess if you think about it in the nick of time, because my dad
4:03
passed away just a couple of years after it was released. But surprisingly,
4:09
throughout the Venture's incredibly long and storied career, there had never been a documentary
4:15
made about them. So for me to be able to do that in a
4:19
twofold sort of way, kind of as a tribute to my dad and a
4:25
thing to do for him, honoring his legacy as a family member, but
4:29
also as a filmmaker and a music lover. Being able to get the Venture's
4:35
story out there too, actually quite a lot of people who maybe didn't realize
4:41
the impact that they had. So it was great to just put out an
4:44
entertaining, the educational documentary and do something nice for my dad at the same
4:49
time. He approved, so he Yeah, he was really happy about it
4:56
and proud that it you know that it came out for me. Yeah.
5:00
And you've also produced, directed, written, and acted in many films.
5:02
And I was scrolling through your IMDb page and caught the trailer for one of
5:06
your films, The Fiance, from twenty sixteen, and these are right down
5:11
my alley. I'm a huge horror film fans. Tell me when did horror
5:15
films enter your world? What was there a specific film that really turned you
5:19
onto the genre. Sure, I loved the Vincent Price movies when I was
5:25
a kid. My dad loved all the Universal Monsters and the Vincent Price movies
5:29
and stuff like that, so he and I watched those together a lot.
5:33
My mom was more into the intense horror films like The Exorcist, which I
5:40
watched when I was just a little kid. But I loved it. You
5:45
know, there's just something about that being safely scared through the screen rather than
5:50
in real life is always a good thing. So I don't know, I'm
5:55
just always been drawn to thrillers and horror and the paranormal and the dark side
5:59
of just about everything. Vincent Price the Wax Museum is. To this day,
6:04
it's still it's still scary to watch. It's Yeah. For me,
6:11
it was the seventy eight Halloween watching it with my older brother and it was
6:14
a fall night. You know, the leaves are in New England. I
6:16
mean, as two people who love music, I'm you know, we can
6:19
appreciate John Carpenter's score for that. What a talented man to direct, write
6:27
and do the music for that. And he was smart enough to I think
6:30
he made certain that it was by John Carpenter. He had his name.
6:34
Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you had to pick one, do you
6:36
have a favorite horror film of all time? Well, it's hard to pick
6:41
just one, but yeah, I'm really drawn to The Shining. I love
6:45
this family, yes, yes, Oh my god, a fantastic movie.
6:50
I watch it all the time. I ended up just buying it digitally so
6:54
I can just watch it, you know, every couple of months and just
6:57
put it on and because there's all these posed little messages. Of course,
7:01
if you heard this right, Stanley Kubrick supposedly put into the movie. What
7:05
do you do you think he was doing some subliminal messaging in there? Was
7:09
he trying to tell us something? I don't know, geez, I mean,
7:13
he had the actors doing so many takes. I don't know if we
7:15
had time to think about subliminal messaging in between the two. But it's always
7:20
fun to think of stuff like that, like the Wizard of Oz being perfectly
7:25
timed to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, And you know, it's
7:30
always fun to read about stuff like that. I'm not sure how much I
7:32
believe it, but right, well, actually I always say the fact if
7:36
the fact that it's not true is actually more fascinating to me, the fact
7:40
that you can line up Dark Side of the Moon and Wizard of Ours and
7:43
it's unintentionally lining up like that. You're indifitous, right right? If you
7:47
could interview a famous horror film actor, dead or alive, who who would
7:50
it be? And why? Well, I have to go back to mencentpris
7:56
Lovely because he was such an intellectual, very well read, very artistic.
8:03
He was a master chef. He loved art. So someone like that,
8:07
I think it is a very well rounded individual beyond what they're known for.
8:13
Is always fun to delve into. And what a voice. Oh gosh,
8:16
yeah, what a voice. Yeah. You've written both fiction and nonfiction books.
8:20
One book you were nice enough to send to me and I got it
8:24
right here was Rock and Roll Nightmares. Let's see, we've got True Stories,
8:28
Volume one, and then we've got A Long Come Scary. So I
8:33
got a couple of them here, so thank you for that. Yeah,
8:37
thanks for checking them out. Yeah, they're great and A Long Comes Scary.
8:41
The Sixties Edition Short Stories, and you contribute many stories to this book
8:46
as well, along with other writers, including the short story titled Papa's Got
8:48
a brand New body Bag, which leads off I love the way it leads
8:58
off. Malachi never thought growing up in a funeral parlor was cool until now.
9:03
Now there was a semi famous rock star lying dead in the basement Morgue.
9:07
I love that. Now. I live in Southington, Connecticut. There's
9:09
a famous haunted house right near me. Haunting in Connecticut. That film was
9:15
based on the house, like literally like ten minutes from here. Oh my
9:18
gosh, wow. Yeah, a friend of mine, yet think he either
9:22
produced or I don't think he directed it. Dan Farren's okay. Yeah,
9:26
he's been the horror genre. Now he's doing movies that are kind of alternate
9:31
reality. I think he did The Haunting of Sharon Pate and some other controversial
9:37
but very fun and Podrey thrillers. So yeah, he's a great guy.
9:43
When did the idea to merge rock and roll with horror come to you?
9:46
When did that idea come up? Well, I've always been drawn to it.
9:50
It's a very very small subgenre. I remember reading a book in the
9:54
eighties called I think it's called The Scream by John's Skip and Craig Specter,
10:01
and it was about an undead heavy metal band. So I always wanted to
10:05
read things like that, but they are weren't very many. So as I
10:09
started thinking of things that I could do to further my career and kind of
10:15
brand something that could have an ongoing life, which is really the only way
10:18
you can make it as an author these days is with series of books,
10:22
I thought, well, I want to write something that I'm not only going
10:26
to enjoy, but will also fill a void in the market and hopefully find
10:31
like minded readers. Because although you know you can write to market perhaps and
10:37
make a lot of money writing romance novels or something that's just not me.
10:41
So I wanted to do something that I would love doing and hopefully folks would
10:46
love to read. Yeah, which they have done so well. Now the
10:50
book that I mentioned, the True Stories, Volume one, the first chapter
10:52
gets into what is the most intriguing story of them all, which is the
10:56
twenty seven Club. The chapters titled only the Good Young, and so many
11:01
artists have died at the age of twenty seven, and you list the most
11:03
prominent in the book, and just a few that you name a Robert Johnson
11:07
who was He was the first. That's where this whole story began. Twenty
11:11
seven. Brian Jones of The Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim
11:13
Morrison, Ron pig Pen McKernan of The Grateful Dead, Kirk Cobain, Amy
11:18
Winehouse, who will be the subject of a new film soon by it,
11:22
I know, I can't wait, right, What is it about the number
11:26
twenty seven? I mean, I've read about numerologists who say it's the complete
11:30
number. You know. John Lennon had a fascination with that number. Yeah,
11:33
there are certain numbers that are the subject of fascination. That's one of
11:39
them. Twenty three is another one. I don't know if you recall the
11:43
Jim Carrey thriller called the Number twenty three, which also has a lot of
11:48
bizarre connections. And another date that I've found that was I don't think.
11:52
I mean, I'm not going to say I discovered it, but I have
11:54
never read anything about this. The date of December eighth is I had some
12:01
really bizarre connotations and connections in Rock, the day that John Lennon was killed,
12:07
the day that Jim Morrison was born, and just a few other ones
12:11
that I mentioned in the book. And I just happened to realize that as
12:15
I was doing my research for the book, like this date December eighth cap
12:18
coming up, So I did a search on Google, like what's weird about
12:22
December eight? And nothing came up, So I don't know, I just
12:24
thought i'd better have mentioned that. Yeah. Well, the weird thing with
12:28
Lenin too was the fact that the time I think in the UK would have
12:33
been December nine. So again there's the nine connection, that's right. Yeah.
12:37
Now there are some interesting ones where like I'm a huge fan of Blind
12:41
Melon and Shannon who and the singer There are guys that died just before,
12:45
just after twenty seven. So he died like eleven months after he turned twenty
12:50
So no, I'm sorry, was it just before? I think he was
12:54
in twenty six years old? Yeah, yeah, same with gram Parson.
13:00
Yeah. Nick Drake also is another person. Yeah, so twenty six.
13:03
I don't know. Perhaps there's even more who's passed at the age of twenty
13:07
six. But there's just something about that number twenty seven that has a mysticism
13:11
to it, and the fact that such pioneering icons died at that age.
13:16
When you think about it, they weren't famous musicians, they were actually pioneers
13:22
and what they did. Yeah, if you could all the people in the
13:26
twenty seven Club, if you could pick just one that you could somehow communicate
13:28
with from the other side, well, who would it be? What would
13:31
be the first thing you'd ask him? It's got to be Jim Morrison for
13:33
me. Ah, same. Yeah. There's actually a fictional collection put out
13:41
in the Rock and Roll Nightmares series called twenty eight and it's what if the
13:45
twenty seven Club would have lived? So of course I grabbed the story on
13:48
Jim Morrison to write sort of a fanciful exploration of what he might have done
13:54
if he did not die at the age of twenty seven. So yes,
13:58
I've always found him to be a very interesting charismatic figure, as many many
14:03
people do, of course, but yeah, there is just something about him.
14:05
Would love to talk to him about poetry and filmmaking and music and just
14:11
all the things that he was into or just kind of in line with what
14:16
I love too. Fascinating guy. Yeah. Award winning filmmaker and an Amazon
14:22
number one best selling author. Stacy Lane Wilson is our guests, and I
14:24
want to ask you about the famous musicians who were thankfully still with us that
14:30
you've interviewed, and there are many. John Fogerty, Jimmy Page, Joni
14:33
Mitchell, Rob Zombie, Shiri Carry, Geene Simmons to name a few.
14:37
Do you have a favorite interview and why? Well? Jimmy Page of course,
14:43
when I was a girl at ten eleven, twelve years old, I
14:46
mean, his posters were all over my wall and who would have thought that
14:50
one day I would get to interview him and actually interviewed him twice in one
14:54
day this books for the film It might get loud. Oh yeah, also
14:58
a mas a fan of the White Stripes and Jack White, who's one of
15:03
my all time favorites, and he's really the only musician that I'll pay the
15:07
big price, it's the big bucks nowaday to go see live. He's just
15:11
fantastic. So I got to interview him and Jimmy Page at once. It
15:15
was just almost too much for a girl to hand man there. There's not
15:20
many great guitarists of these days. I mean, they're out there, but
15:22
I should say there's not many great guitars that are in the spotlight. It's
15:26
just it's a bummer to see the billboard charts and it's like, where's the
15:30
rock and roll? Where's the guitar? Right? Yeah, well that I
15:33
was talking recently to a friend about how it seems the glorious guitar solo has
15:39
sort of gone out of style these days. Yeah. I sure had a
15:43
great run. Well, yeah, you look at it, you know,
15:46
going back to here to your you know, with your dad, and you
15:50
go back to even like mid fifties, you know, with Chuck Berry and
15:54
a right up until you know Jack White, early two thousands, there was
15:58
some great stuff that was out that was getting exposure, but you hope everything's
16:03
cyclical, so we'll see what happens. But I want to get to some
16:07
of your brand new books that you've released, starting with Amplified Adventures, A
16:10
Traveler's Guide to Rock Music's Hallowed Halls, A Rock and Roll Nightmares B Sides
16:15
book, the tenth book of the Rock and Roll Nightmare series. So tell
16:18
us about this book, which I believe just came out last month. Was
16:22
it in March or February? Yes, yeah, So I decided that it
16:26
would be fun to write some very short books under one hundred pages each and
16:32
introduce them as a spinoff to the Rock and Roll Nightmare series called B Sides.
16:37
So these are only available as ebooks and audiobooks. They're not in paperback
16:41
because they're so short, and they're only ninety nine cents to download. So
16:45
I wanted to have the opportunity to write some sort of helpful guides. So
16:51
that was the first one, Amplified Adventures. And as someone who loves to
16:56
travel and loves museums, I've seen quite a few great museums all over the
17:00
world going on into put a spotlight on that, and it's a pretty comprehensive
17:06
list. I have not been to all of them, but the ones that
17:08
I hadn't been to I did some research on. So that's one. And
17:12
then I just put out Headbanger's Help, with the help of some exercise and
17:21
nutrition gurus to talk about help for the heavy metal musician and how to keep
17:26
in prime for being on stage. And so that's another B side book.
17:30
And then I'll be doing maybe some album guides and a short story like a
17:37
novelette, okay, And then one that came on January Rock and Roll Nightmares
17:41
Freeze Frame spooky short stories with full color photos. Another great book for fans
17:47
of rock and roll and horror. And I Love You Make My Screams,
17:52
I think? Is that? Yeah? Yeah? This is about a quaint
17:56
southern California record store where the latest collection is just rare, it's downright supernatural,
18:02
the vinyl records on these Spirits from the Grooves and the mystery box of
18:06
records that belong to famous music producer Jackie. And then it turns out that
18:10
you produce more than just great music. And that's a great story. Yeah,
18:15
So when do these these stories come to you? Do they just come
18:18
out of nowhere? Do you do you have a record nearby or a notebook
18:22
nearby and you say, oh, that's got something. Yeah, I'm always
18:25
writing notes in my phone if I come up with a great idea. I've
18:27
always been one to when it comes to fiction. I will come up with
18:33
an increaguing title and then write a story from that usually, so that's generally
18:37
how it works. And so I thought of that title first and then just
18:41
started spinning the tale from there. I love the idea of haunted collection these
18:48
and cursed objects and stuff like that. I remember watching a TV series when
18:55
I was a kid called Friday the Thirteenth, which had nothing to do with
18:59
thea's still franchised, but I believe it was a Canadian show about this antique
19:03
shop where everything was haunted. And of course there's the Stephen King book and
19:08
movie Needful Things, both stuff like that I love, and I wanted to
19:12
explore that with a haunted record collection. And what really inspired me was I
19:18
remember reading an article a long long time ago online and I could not find
19:22
it again, unfortunately, but it was about things that people find in their
19:26
used records, so like little notes, concert tickets, I don't know,
19:32
just stuff like that that it's weird stuff that they find inside the leave of
19:36
the record. Yeah, yeah, after bringing it home, So that was
19:40
also another kind of inspiration for that story. Do you remember the first record
19:45
you ever bought, first final record? Well, yeah, I do.
19:49
Actually the first two were not so cool. I guess they were. But
19:55
the first one that I remember buying with my own money was Steve Martin Comedy
20:00
Is Not Pretty, which is music? Well, I guess he did.
20:03
He probably saying something on there. And then the second one was Donna Summer's
20:08
Greatest Hit. Well, yeah, and I got cool and I bought led
20:14
Zeppelin one nice. Yeah. I was just telling a friend of mine.
20:15
I was on a podcast talking about synchronicity the police. That was my first
20:19
one. That was my first one. Yeah. Yeah. One more recent
20:25
release that I see on Amazon, that's Rock and Roll Nightmares, Volume two,
20:27
True crime and strange stories about rock stars. So if you're intrigued by
20:30
the story of the twenty seven Club, this book is for you, and
20:33
it's a look at the baby groupie trend of the seventies, right, the
20:38
satanic panic, the horrific home invasions, musicians who've died on stage, rockers
20:44
who lived on borrow time, gun toting, music producers, deadly DJ's,
20:48
and much more. Now, since I'm a huge Van Allen fan, I
20:49
figured i'd start with a chapter run with the Devil. I'll just pick that
20:53
one. It's just the name of the name. Yeah, No, I
20:57
love that. Yeah, Haleen stuff is killer, but yeah, it's just
21:03
the name of it. Because it's about the Satanic panic when groups were vilified
21:08
for having backward masking and all that crazy stuff with the pm r C and
21:14
kids committing suicide and their parents suing all the olborm and Judas Priest and bands
21:19
like that. So I thought that was a very fascinating and bizarre time in
21:22
history that was so laden with conspiracy theories and whatnot. Which is I guess
21:29
we've cud Like you said, things are cyclical. We're back to that craziness
21:33
now. But I don't see it being blamed on fans now. It's politicians.
21:37
So yeah, Well, for those who aren't familiar Alistair Crowley, what
21:44
is his? Who is this? Who is he? What is his connection
21:47
to rock roll? I know a lot about Jimmy Page. There's a strong
21:51
connection there, but yeah, who was he? So he was active in
21:56
the early part of the twentieth bench, and he had his own sort of
22:02
cult and he was very into he wouldn't really be called Satanism, but it
22:07
was sort of that same philosophy where you you know, do what you want,
22:12
do what feels good, and you know, screw everybody else basically,
22:17
So with the Golden Dawn sect, it was what it was called. And
22:21
Jimmy Page actually did by the Equinox bookstore which specialized in Alistair Proley esoterica,
22:27
and he operated that shop in London for many years. And that was a
22:32
big thing in the interviews and articles about Jimmy Page in the seventies because he
22:40
was interested in that, so they made him out to be sort of this
22:42
black magic purveyor. And also I don't think that many people, especially nowadays,
22:51
know that David Bowie was also very much into Alistair Proley. Yeah,
22:55
I did not know that that. I didn't know you. And no.
23:00
Ozzie has the song mister Crowley, and I think from whatever we call I
23:04
don't think he really knows why he changed it to Crowley instead of Crowley,
23:08
but Crowley is the way it's pronounced correct, and if people want to hear
23:15
what Alistair Crowley sounds like, just be prepared because he's creepy sounding. There's
23:18
something on YouTube that I found and I was like, whoa man that that
23:22
dude's and then he collected like fingernails and jars and it just did some crazy
23:26
story weird. Yeah, for sure, Jimmy bought his house Jimmy Page,
23:33
right, Yeah, Bleska, which was the old castle like it, well,
23:37
like a mini castle, just a small econic, ecomedy castle, you
23:42
know. But apparently it was haunted as well, and some very strange things
23:47
happened there. Servants hung themselves and people were murdered there and all kinds of
23:52
bizarre stuff. And there was even a handy underground tunnel that led straight to
23:56
his cementary. Oh man, Yeah, there's a story. I think Jimmy
23:59
Page the sound of a head rolling down the stairs, I think that was
24:03
the story told. Yeah, that's actually a future book in the Rock and
24:08
Roll Nightmare series. I'm going to do one about haunted houses that musicians have
24:15
lived in, haunted recording studios, ghostly sighting, some stuff like that.
24:18
In fact, I just finished reading Gary Numan's autobiography and learned that when he
24:25
was very young, I believe thirteen or fourteen, he saw a ghost in
24:29
the subway that was a very well dressed man with a beautiful gray suit and
24:34
a tie, and he actually channeled that character for some of his album covers,
24:41
like the Pleasure Principle. Wow, I didn't know that. That's interesting.
24:45
That's it. I'm gathering fun stories to put in a full collection.
24:48
So you're going to include the one with Red Hot Chili Peppers recorded at a
24:52
mansion that was haunted, right, So the Red Hot Chili Peppers, there
24:56
was a place at the record and nine Inch Nails recorded in the house where
25:02
Sharon Tate and her friends were murdered, And there's quite a few interesting and
25:07
dark stories about that. What do you make a backwards masking? Like?
25:11
Is that all? Because I remember with Zeppelin that was a big thing with
25:14
Stairway to Heaven and they were just laughing at it, like this is the
25:17
silliest thing ever. All right, Jimmy Page said, it's hard enough to
25:19
record a song the right way around, right, Yeah, how did that
25:26
start? There was just some some fan that started that whole thing. I
25:29
believe some fan just started that whole thing. He called into a radio station
25:33
or something. Yeah, who knows, But you know, it's like any
25:37
kind of thing that's a little creepy. It's always fun to explore. But
25:41
I don't know how much stock I really put into it. Yeah, there
25:45
are artists like Dave Mustaine, who you know it in the chapter steered away
25:48
from anything remotely satanic or evil, and he became a born again Christian in
25:52
two thousand and two and refused to tour with bands deemed even remotely satanic.
25:57
Now can an artist take it to you? Is there a point where you
26:00
feel it would be crossover from being harmless and intended for entertainment purposes. It's
26:04
something that can have a serious effect on either the artists or a fan,
26:07
because to me, it's just entertainment. I just it's an expression of your
26:12
level headed, sane person. It's just entertainment. But you can't predict what
26:18
some perhaps unbalanced person might take away from even the most innocuous of lyrics.
26:23
So I don't think that an artist should worry about that too much. Yeah,
26:29
so we've covered quite a bit of ground. What can we expect to
26:32
see in the future. You did mention some projects you're working on, like
26:34
films, books, documentaries and the works anything you want to look. Yeah,
26:38
there's a brand new rock and Roll Nightnars book out called Blood on the
26:42
Tracks that just came out a few weeks ago, and it's about the tragedies
26:48
behind some of our favorite songs. So it goes deep into the meanings behind
26:52
some songs that were based either on friends who committed suicide, people who were
26:59
murdered, or serial killers or things like that. So that's one book that's
27:03
just out now. And then parallel Lines with speculative fiction Rock and Roll Nightmares
27:10
Entree is in just came out but right now in the works. There's an
27:15
audiobook that I'm very excited about and we just turned it into audible dot com,
27:18
so that should be out in about a week. So for those who
27:22
don't have time to read or want to listen to some fun stories on the
27:26
commute, most of the Rock and Roll Nightmares books are available via audio.
27:32
And then I am currently working on the first novel in the Rock and Roll
27:37
Nightmare series. It's called Farewell Tour and it's about a shop rocker who wants
27:41
to retire, but his fans will not let him by any means necessary.
27:47
Oh, what a great storyline. Oh that's great, and people can find
27:52
you online too. You have a website absolutely, It's my name Stacy Lane
27:56
Wilson dot com. And from there you can spin off into all my social
28:00
media and whatnot. I try to be on every platform, but it gets
28:04
a bit overwhelming at times. So my favorites are Instagram and Facebook. The
28:11
Rock and Roll Nightmares book series does have its own Instagram account and the Facebook
28:15
group too. Yeah, it is hard to keep up with it. There's
28:18
so many. I'm just I'm just thinking, please, don't have any more.
28:22
I mean, we've got enough. And the podcast too. Want to
28:26
talk about that. You have your own podcast? Oh, yeah, that's
28:27
right. I have a podcast. I had my friend, I believe,
28:30
Darren palchwitz On recently talk about it. Yeah, I'll talk I am Halen
28:34
and his great book DLR Yeph. So yes, I'm almost up to one
28:41
hundred episodes of the Rock and Roll Nightmares podcast right now. And I put
28:45
a focus on authors because I love books about rock, but there are also
28:51
musicians and photographers and just anyone who's kind of connected with horror and rock.
28:57
That's great, well, Stacey, thank you for doing this. It's great
29:00
to meet you finally. I'm glad we were able to do this and all
29:04
the best in the future. You've got a fan here, so I'm looking
29:07
forward to Yeah, I'm looking forward to whatever's coming next. And I still
29:11
have more of these short stories to read. I got through quite a few,
29:17
all right, Thanks Stacy, thank you. No, no, that
29:27
was an adventure. I was quite assure you put on today. Well,
29:33
let me just close this conversation by saying you are one unique individual.
