Baxie talks to music journalist Greg Prato. Over the years Greg has published nearly 50 books about music and sports. His latest book “Alternative for the Masses: The 90’s Alt Rock Revolution” is an exceptional oral history that looks at how a largely dismissed wave of Rock Music suddenly became mainstream in the 1990’s. From the emergence of college radio in the 80’s to the importance of MTV’s 120 Minutes, to the release of Nirvana’s blockbuster album “Nevermind”, Greg runs through it all—interviewing dozens and dozens of people who were directly involved and impacted by Rock’s last great decade! Listen on Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Spotify, and on the Rock102 app. Brought to you by Metro Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Chicopee.
