Eric “Roscoe” Ambel Interview: Winning tickets to see The Ramones & The Dictators in LA, which changed the entire trajectory of his life… forming the Del Lords, playing with Dan Baird, Steve Earle… moving from LA to the East Village in NYC, the good, bad and ugly about playing CBGB’s (which he did several dozen times, including an initial weekly residency)... owning a local bar in NYC, touring with Iggy Pop, Lou Reed & Jackson Browne… quitting alcohol for 7 years, watching a friend spiral out of control with drugs, being open to new things and continuing to learn.
