In this episode of Rock Talk Studio, I look at three stories that each reveal something bigger about rock history and culture. First, I explore the sale of Jerry Garcia’s iconic Tiger guitar and what it represents as one of the most significant artifacts in rock and roll history. Then I turn to Melissa Auf der Maur’s new memoir, Even the Good Girls Will Cry, and the intimate, personal perspective it brings to the mythology, chaos, and emotional texture of the ’90s alternative scene. Finally, I discuss the announcement of the Crossroads Guitar Festival and why it continues to matter as a celebration of blues roots, classic rock, and guitar-driven music across generations.Support the showemail Big Rick at:[email protected]
