In this candid conversation, Page shares his unforgettable CBGBs audition story, the surreal experience of learning 30 David Bowie songs and performing alongside the icon, how he hears music in his head before ever picking up an instrument, and the impact Kurt Cobain's death had on the entire rock community. While Betty provides the backdrop, this episode goes far beyond the record itself, offering a rare and personal look into the creative mind, career and philosophy of one of heavy music's true originals.
