A conversation with Michael Lydon: musician, songwriter, former writer/editor for Rolling Stone, and YouTuber. Hear about the founding of Rolling Stone magazine and Michael's stories of meeting Jimi Hendrix, The Grateful Dead, and the Rolling Stones.

Leaving a comment b/c I wouldn't want either of you for an enemy. Thanks, btw. This was sort of like sitting around chatting at a barbecue. Only with better place and character references.

@calichef1962 LOL, no we could be pretty scary if you made enemies of us, really ;^) Glad you enjoyed the video!

[MichaelLydon]

Hey, Ken, you predicted in the video that we'd get 150 views, and now we've got 192. Think big, big guy!!

@MichaelLydon I like to under-promise and over-deliver; it's such a pleasant change from everybody else doing the opposite ;^)

Phenomenal get togther! Rolling Stone would not exist today had Michael not been a part of it. To be both artist and writer during the time of the Second Renaissance is something we can only dream about. Very cool.

[kenrg]

@Rikotistic Only dream, true... What we'd give to just have a few of his memories, right?

@MrStratoStrut Thank you!
