We made it! For two years The Hook Rocks has been your music podcast escape with music commentary, introductions to new bands, & interviews with legacy artists. One of my favorite guests is the legendary guitarist George Lynch. Many know his signature tone and his music history but there is more to the artist and person. Finding his passion in raising awareness within the Native American community George released a moving documentary about the horrible treatment towards this great society of people and how their struggles continue to current day. The film Is called 'Shadow Nation'. His passion has led him down a path of self reflection, awareness, and asking the questions every citizen should be asking. Listen to this wide ranging and interesting conversation about his political activism...plus he provides an update on his current projects, new band name, a potential Dokken album, and thoughts on the passing of Eddie Van Halen.
