Episode 304 - Bon Jovi, Neil Finn, Joan Jett, Lamont Dozier

This week: a fantastic interview with Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora from 2000 - 13 years before their falling out. Christopher talks about interviewing Bon Jovi before they were famous and how they became MuchMusic regulars. We also have some great clips with Joan Jett just as she was about to become the breakout star of 1981. Joan talks about Pat Benatar and Chrissie Hynde - as well as how her own parents feared for their daughter as she pursued her dreams in rock and roll. Christopher's in-depth interview with Neil Finn is the hidden gem this week - it's a geek's delight - especially if that geek is a fan of songwriters. Neil was in Crowded House at the time. Nowadays, he's in Fleetwood Mac! And Motown songwriting legend Lamont Dozier talks about the early days of Hitsville USA - and explains how the Supremes didn't want to record the song that made them superstars.
