Astroworld: We lost family that day." Roger Daltry, 1979 These words were an eerie reminder on Friday, November 5th when 8 people lost their lives. This week, we address the tragedy at AstroWorld and mourn the victims of this dark day. Presented with respect by Rock and Roll Heaven. "Gone from our sites, but never from our hearts. It is with profound sadness we lay to rest our beloved Brianna Rodriguez. Brianna was one of the victims of the Astroworld event. She was a beautiful vibrant 16-year-old high school junior at Heights HS in Houston TX. Dancing was her passion and now she’s dancing her way to heaven’s pearly gates." Anything to help the family will be greatly appreciated. https://www.gofundme.com/f/m69j8z-funeral-expenses Our social stuff: Patreon.com/rockandrollheaven Twitter: @rockandrolllt Instagram: Rockandrollheavenlt Facebook: Rock and Roll Heaven Pod Our website: https://rockandrollheavenl.wixsite.com/mysite Email us! rockandrollheavenlt@gmail.com Check out the other a by Rock and Roll Heaven

Conversation with Greg Mangus: Singer Greg Mangus joins Chris and Aaron this week to discuss his "almost famous" career in music; one that includes numerous collaborations with notable musicians across multiple genres. Greg is well-known in Nashville music circles for a number of projects that include Thee Rock N Roll Residency, St. James Infirmary, Noise Pollution (AC/DC tribute), and Jimmy the Weed (Thin Lizzy tribute). Greg Mangus In this hour-plus talk, Greg shares some fantastic stories of his early days in the burgeoning Florida rock scene in the 1980's, a string of co-writes with R&B group Cameo, his move to New York city upon which he received a solo artist contract from Polygram Records (and the fallout that occurred thereafter), a left-turn away from rock with a boogie-swing band Set Em Up Joe, and ultimately the move to Nashville and a journey back into rock music. That journey would take him to Thee Rock N Roll Residency and, later, an onstage jam with Cheap Trick' by Decibel Geek Podcast
