Summary
This is Play That Rock n' Roll's interview with author C.M. Kushins about his book "BEAST: John Bonham and The Rise of Led Zeppelin". In this conversation, we talk about why he wanted to write about John Bonham, how Chad navigated the myths and legends that surround Led Zeppelin, and what sets this book apart from all the other biographies about this band. We also discuss the new documentary “Becoming Led Zeppelin” and Chad shares his thoughts about what Zeppelin might have done if Bonham had not tragically passed away when he did. Also, Chad has a new book that will be released later this year called “COOLER THAN COOL: The Life and Work of Elmore Leonard”. We talk a bit about this one as well.
