Baxie talks with Cyril Jordan from the legendary Flamin’ Groovies! The Groovies were formed in 1965 in San Francisco and have existed in one form or another ever since. This is a band that was loved by both The Rolling Stones, Elton John, and many others. But at the same time played an enormous role in psychedelia, power pop, garage rock, R&B, and proto-punk. Cyril has seen it all. And the stories?!? Amazing!!! This is an insanely interesting and wild conversation with one of the most enduring legends in music.
