Elliot Easton, guitarist for The Cars (among others), continues his eclectic conversation with Andrew Loog Oldham in part two of the podchat. The two talk about their shared love for The Hollies, the difference between legendary producers Mutt Lange and Roy Thomas Baker, how Elliot was a teenage activist, the events leading to the breakup of The Cars, playing with Creedence Clearwater Revival, and what it means that Elliot shares a birthday with “Allen Crime.”
(You can find the first part of this conversation here.)
Andrew Loog Oldham is the original manager/producer of the Rolling Stones, founder of Immediate Records, writer of STONED, 2STONED, and ROLLING STONED, and the longtime lead DJ on the Underground Garage channel on SiriusXM. Sounds and Vision is the next chapter.
