#241 - The $27k ransom for John Rowlands' rock photography

In episode 241 of The Johnny Rogers Show, I sit down with legendary rock n’ roll photographer John Rowlands along with acclaimed music journalist and author Bob Klanac. We discuss their new book, Shooting Stars, Telling Tales, which chronicles John's wild life on the road, from dodging Pete Townshend’s hotel-pool-bound TV to sharing rice pudding with The Beatles. John reveals the terrifying moment he touched the fence at Area 51 and the career-defining day David Bowie told him, “I trust you. I like the way you see.” His word for the episode is "Happy," a reflection on finally reclaiming his life’s work after a 45-year ransom saga.A FREE way to support the show is by subscribing to ⁠⁠The Johnny Rogers Show⁠⁠ on YouTube-🚨 NEW EBOOK ALERT!After 200+ interviews on The Johnny Rogers Show, I’ve taken the 5 biggest life lessons and turned them into one powerful little book.💥Available NOW for ONLY $7, Check it out -⁠ https://thejohnnyrogers.gumroad.com/l/micdupmindset⁠-🎥 Transform your long-form videos into engaging shorts with OpusClip—the #1 video clipping tool!
