AC/DC, Cheap Trick, KISS Stories & The Paranormal w/ Author Susan Masino [Episode 74]

Rock journalist Susan Masino is the author of "Famous Wisconsin Musicians" and "Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy: My Life and Times With AC/DC, Van Halen and Kiss", “AC/DC FAQ – All That’s Left to Know About the World’s True Rock ‘N’ Roll Band”, “The Story Of AC/DC – Let There Be Rock” among others. She published her own music newspaper "Rock Central" for six years and has written for WI Music News, a monthly music news column, since 1991. She created a radio show for 94.1 WJJO in Madison, WI, which she produced and hosted from 1997-2004.I first interviewed Susan for the Van Halen News Desk back in October of 2020 shortly after the passing of Eddie Van Halen. This time Susan talks about her career, all of the bands and artists she met along the way. I also had something personal I wanted to share with Susan, who is also a psychic empath. My father Jim Senich passed on July 21st and it really hit me hard. I’m still recovering from it and will for a while. I had a great relationship with him. But there were a few interesting things that happened since his passing that I wanted to tell Susan about and see what she thought. Interestingly enough, I scheduled this interview before my Dad passed. It’s a story I not only wanted to share with Susan but you as well. The listeners have been so great with sending condolences on the Booked On Rock Facebook page. So I hope, if you have lost someone close, this story gives you the peace it has given me.
