Today my friends Hunter Thompson and Sam Wilkerson of the band White Reaper stop by and talk all about their new album Asking For A Ride which just came out last month. We dive into all kinds of topics including touring with Pearl Jam, their love of Comedy, and  the struggles with down time during the pandemic.   I can't recommend their new record enough. It goes from some real heavy thrash metal to some amazing Weezer type pop hooks. Go see White Reaper out on tour right now around the US. My up coming tour schedule is available at https://www.deandelray.com  This week you can catch me in San Francisco 4 nights Feb 22nd thru 25th at the Punchline. Thanks again for all your support.

Today I have 2 amazing guest Alexis Bloom & Svetlana Zill, directors of the documentary Catching Fire the Story of Anita Pallenberg. I saw this documentary last week and I can't recommend it enough. Anita was a fantastic Actress, Model and a massive Muse to members of the Rolling Stones. Anita dated Brian Jones before finiding here way into Keith Richards life which quickly escalated in to a full on rock n roll outlaw adventure. This women's story is absolutely incredible and very dark and the Doc pulls No Punches. The Words come from an unpublished memoir Pallenberg wrote before her death in 2017, narration voiced by Scarlett Johansson.  Sit back and enjoy this episode and don't forget to catch the film in Theaters next week and streaming platforms around May 10th.
