AfterPartyPod: Michael Des Barres

Michael Des BarresMusician and actor Michael Des Barres has had many lives: he’s been in bands with John Taylor and Steve Jones, performed at Live Aid, co-written hit songs (“Obsession,” which Animotion made famous, and which Des Barres admits is about cocaine), had memorable appearances on TV shows from WKRP in Cincinnati through Melrose Place and Nip/Tuck (as well as many in between and since) and is now, at 65, hosting The Michael Des Barres Show for TRadioV. He and I met over a decade ago, before I was sober—when he called the fact that she was doing cocaine “so very 80’s.” Here we discuss Michael’s childhood in an English boarding school, his time doing drugs (with several shout outs to Quaaludes) and the fact that he’s been sober since 1981. Also in there: singing! Reminiscing about the pseudo-date we once had! And more. You can download the podcast here and listen to previous episodes here.
