Dad Rock

A new book on the Rolling Stones examines the band from a different perspective. Rich Cohen, a Gen Xer, never knew a world without the Stones (they've always existed, just like the sun and the moon). He developed a love of the band as a kid in the '70s, then later in life got to travel with and write about them for Rolling Stone magazine.

Cohen joins Dad Rock by phone to discuss his new book, "The Sun & The Moon & The Rolling Stones."

Dash Rip Rock has been dashing across the USA and ripping up stages with high-powered rock 'n roll for 30+ years. While the band has developed a devoted (almost cultish) following, its mix of punk, rockabilly, country, alternative and Southern rock has never quite found a place in mainstream music. That's too bad, because to hear Dash is to hear the soul of rock 'n' roll.

On this episode of Dad Rock, cohosts Patrick Foster and Jim Lenahan sit down with Bill Davis, leader of Dash Rip Rock. He discusses the band's ups and downs, his guitar influences, his use of humor in music and Dash's induction into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame.

Jon Wurster is not only one of the best drummers going today, he's also quite the funny guy. Among his bands are Superchunk, the Mountain Goats and Bob Mould Band. And as part of Scharpling & Wurster (with Tom Scharpling), he has found a second career in comedy (even landing a voice part on "The Simpsons").

Wurster sat down for an in-studio interview with Patrick Foster and Jim Lenahan on Dad Rock.

Just about every Bruce Springsteen fan has a story to tell about seeing The Boss play live. The Set Lusting Bruce podcast captures those stories and other personal accounts of Springsteen fandom.

In March, Dad Rock hosts Patrick Foster and Jim Lenahan met with Set Lusting Bruce host Jesse Jackson at a diner in Arlington, Texas. (The sound is not the best, but the conversation is high quality.)
