Carlos Alomar, David Bowie: “If you can't explain it, you can't defend it...”

137 min • 7 maj 2021

Chuck Berry told me, “Boy, you don’t rehearse rock ‘n roll!...”

On this Carlos Alomar interview, meeting David Bowie, and why he left Bowie… growing up with a father who was a Pentecostal minister and the wisdom & openness Carlos gleaned from this relationship… working with Chuck Berry, Iggy Pop (and his incredible power), Mick Jagger, Gloria Gaynor and others… thing he’s proudest of, why you should never “Disturb the groove,” thinking like 3 guitar players, not one… golf, Greece, puppets, smiling, and why, “If you can’t explain it, you can’t defend it!” One of the smartest performers and most naturally happy people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting, this is a MUST listen!
