Shep Gordon, the legendary talent manager, producer, and author, joins My Rock Moment from his home in Maui. He shares captivating stories from his 50-plus-year career in the music industry—a journey that began unexpectedly when he took a wrong turn in Los Angeles traffic. We delve into how he masterminded the rise of Shock Rock, the ingenious marketing strategies that propelled Alice Cooper to fame, Alice’s memorable cameo in Wayne’s World that had audiences nationwide exclaiming “we’re not worthy!”, and the challenges that accompany stardom. Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Raquel Welch, and Derek Taylor also make appearances in our conversation!
Shep's remarkable knack for discovering and fostering talent across various fields has earned him the moniker "Supermensch" in showbiz—a title immortalized in the 2013 documentary directed by Mike Myers and used in Shep’s subsequent book, They Call Me Supermensch: A Backstage Pass to the Amazing Worlds of Film, Food, and Rock'n'Roll.
So, plug in, turn up the volume, and join us as we unravel the stories, strategies, and sheer serendipity that define the legend of Shep Gordon.
