Bob Bert web radio interview 1 november 2011
 

Hi!

Hope it hasn't been posted before...

Checking a site dedicated to the Blues Explosion, I got to a link that pointed to a Bob Bert interview (Diane Kamikaze's Fun Machine).

You can hear him talk there, saying at one point he worked as a printer for Andy Warhol... mentions of Joey Ramone art, meeting his future wife, the very first Drunk Driving show... PIL, flu... SY need a drummer... what it was to tour Europe in 1982...:
