Dave Dawson - Author Of "Dear Mr Pop Star" With His Dad Under The Name D&D Philpott. With Excerpts Featuring Starship, The Knack, Supertramp, Herman's Hermits, 10cc!
Episode 161
Dave Dawson is the author of “Dear Mr Pop Star”, a book written with his father under the pen name D&D Philpott. They write crazy, silly, funny tongue-in-cheek letters to various rock stars, goofing on their songs, lyrics and meanings. The surprising part is that the artists write back and join in the fun with hilarious responses. The book is already a hit on Amazon. Dave and I read excerpts from the book involving Starship, The Knack, Supertramp, Herman's Hermits and 10cc.
My featured song is “The Pardners” from the album East Side Sessions by my band, Project Grand Slam. Spotify link. Video link
