Steve Resnik The 45 King Live On Game Changers WIth Vicki Abelson

If you love the rock 'n roll, and who doesn't... Mitch Miller! (That story here.) Steve Resnik, creator, curator, and owner of the West Coast Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame Museum, and human encyclopedia of rock 'n roll, takes us through his growing up in Chicago in the 50s and 60s, coming alive as kid with the birth of said, rock 'n roll, walking us through the early days to the glory days. First as a passionate, obsessed listener and appreciator, to college radio program director, interviewer, where Stevie Wonder, Jim Morrison, and Led Zeppelin are a very few of his successes, and one of his perceived failures. Steve lived Cameron Crowe's life in Almost Famous, only more gloriously. The Whiskey and The Troubadour were his home. He saw, met and partied with everybody, and I mean everybody who was anybody. Hendrix, Joplin, Wonder, oh my. One of the great record promoters hisself, he worked alongside the greatest in his eyes... stories of Clive Davis, Berry Gordy, Diana Ross, John Lennon, and the beforementioned Jim Morrison and Stevie Wonder... those two tales... WOW! We'd planned to be downstairs in the 45 room, where Steve has every single which charted from the day 45s were created in '55 thru to their extinction. Unfortunately, the vinyl is downstairs in the basement to keep them cool, and sadly the WiFi was too erratic to trust. So we'll do a raincheck with our Stump Steve, where he can locate any 45 within 20 seconds and play it. I'll have to get one of those portable hotspots for the fun. Prior to the interview, thanks so much Rob Barnett for inviting me to his party at Steve's a few months ago, Steve quizzed me on my credits. Greatest victory for me, I was able to answer Steve's sudden rapid fire Live questions and was given a nod of approval from one who knows the score. My father would be so proud. Wildly, Pete's uncle, Don George, was an A&M rep out of Cleveland when Steve was the VP and attended a party in the very room where we did this conversation. Love the small world stuff. This was rock 'n roll edutainment to the gazillionith degree. We was schooled! Loved every second.
