Episode 41 - Interview With Michael Alago

We get on the phone with our new friend Michael Alago to discuss his incredible career in the music industry, from booking at the Ritz, to A&R at Elektra, his photography but most importantly, his life long love of music. Michael worked with such artists as White Zombie, Cyndi Lauper, Nina Simone, Tracy Chapman and of course, METALLICA! He signed Metallica to Elektra in 1984 and worked with them until just before The Black Album was recorded. We hope you enjoy our talk with Michael and please check out his new documentary, 'Who The F**k Is That Guy? The Fabulous Journey Of Michael Alago' directed by Drew Stone.
