When I went to pick up a vinyl pressing of Alice Cooper's new album "Welcome 2 My Nightmare" in hopes of having Dick Wagner to sign it on a planned road trip to Michigan (a later blog post will follow) the store owner Maria asked if I want to talk to a reporter about some of my "Tales of the road" and I didn't think it would be a big deal so I said I'll talk to her. I passed on my phone number (or I called her....can't remember which) and a few days later I met Allison Rupp at Panera Bread in West Knoxville and basically shot the shit with her for about an hour I felt it went pretty good but I was also a bit nervous that I may have revealed too much about myself as I did go into some detail about my "Bootlegging" past/present and with my apprehension of being true to myself after Jason left Metallica in 2000 as I did feel like I was being pulled on both sides but it was for naught as Allison did an EXCELLENT job of telling "my story" without putting too much focus on just me.
