Show Notes
Author Andrew Craneman spent 15+ years compiling over 70 years of music history into The Rock And Roll Almanac: A Day-By-Day Journey Through 70 Years of Legendary Music History, and he’s sharing how and why he did it! Andrew explains how a random discovery about the death of Snot’s frontman on December 11th, 2008 sparked the idea for the book, and how it evolved from a blank Word doc to a 2751-entry deep dive into rock & roll lore! He talks about growing up in Finland, falling in love with Blue Öyster Cult before he could speak English, and why Metallica’s Load was such a pivotal first CD. He shares stories about the research process, the fun and the grind of self-publishing, and how he decided what made the cut—including Keith Moon’s most outrageous moments, Temple Of The Dog’s surprising origins, and what didn’t make it in (but will in his follow-up Heavy Metal Almanac). Plus, Andrew and Jericho geek out on classic rock birthdays, band anniversaries, and what happened today in music history!
