Rock ’N Roll Hall of Famer Ricky Byrd Live on Game Changers with Vicki Abelson

Hanging out with Rock’N Roll Hall of Famer, Ricky Byrd, is like going home. Back to the days… when we were both in a daze. I was booking the Rock 'N Roll Café on Bleecker Street, Ricky was already a rockstar, center stage as lead guitarist with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, playing those iconic riffs in the fab MTV Music Video Days... when there were ashtrays on restaurant tables, and MTV played music videos. Just found a great pic of Ricky and Elliot Easton sitting in on our tiny stage in ’87ish. All those years ago, and yet how fun to have seen Elliot play live last week with The Immediate Family and Zoom tonight with Ricky. One big difference, both Ricky and I are sober. 36 years for him, and the last many, being of service and giving back with his time, and his music. His current passion, partnering with AllSober.com to aid those struggling with addiction to gain inspiration from their sober heroes. He treated us to his Ain’t Gonna Live Like That No More to punctuate the point. Ricky received the Drug-Free Heroes Award, presented by the Foundation For a Drug-Free World, The Faces and Voices 2019 Voice of Recovery Award, and the 2019 Italian American of Distinction Award, presented by Governor Cuomo, for his work in recovery.  This Rockboy walks his talk. 

Old friends, it was an easy breezy walk down memory lane, littered with one-liners, and rim shots. Ricky may be a rocker but he’s a Borscht Belt comic at heart. Fabulous stories about touring with Graham Parker, Roger Daltry, and Ian Hunter, the thrill of playing THAT riff from All the Young Dudes, having Simon Kirke of Bad Company behind him hitting those beats, backing Brian Wilson, sitting next to MeatLoaf watching his hero Jeff Beck, both of them weeping. We talked quite a bit about Beck, and Townshend, Eddie Van Halen, John Mayer, Albert King, the old days of the Filmore East, The Academy of  Music, the Humble Pie, J Geils Band, and Black Oak Arkansas show we both were at when we were babies. Speaking of the Babys, we talked John Waite, Ricky’s old, my new friend, and his hysterical speech whilst being inducted into the Rock ’N Roll Hall of Fame with Joan Jett and The Blackhearts. Why she didn’t much react behind him, and looking past the front row where Paul and Ringo, his raison d’etre for becoming a musician sat with Funk 49s, Joe Walsh. And then, sharing the stage with them - and his great interactions with both Paul and Ringo. Ricky’s fan love for his heroes is so relatable and fun to witness. 

Ricky’s Rhapsody in Blues - An Instrumental Tribute to Jeff Beck is spectacular as are his other WIcked Cool released singles, Louanne, Alien, and Glamdenic Blues, and they’re available here:  https://www.rickybyrd.com We got the story behind each and why he requests we download rather than stream. I did as soon as we got off the interweb. 

I adore my old friend. I so enjoyed every second and every word of this conversation. It was such a treat to spend time again in his great company.

Una Canción que surge de dos canciones distintas.

Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” 1 Corinthians 15:33 NIV 💯💪😈🌎

NO COMPANY OR BAD COMPANY...

I'd go with no company. I believe that life is too short; to surround yourself around toxic people... life is way too short to surround yourself around people who don't provide you self-worth

HAPPY BIRTHDAY @paulrodgersofficial | Con Paul abbiamo vissuto anni incredibili e inaspettati: concerti bellissimi, musica di enorme qualità, la possibilità di conoscere meglio questo incredibile cantante, i #Free e i #BadCompany. Con lui #brianmay e #rogertaylor hanno avuto l'occasione di rimettersi in gioco e di tornare a fare quello che gli riesce meglio: essere i #Queen. Buon compleanno #paulrodgers #queenforeverblog https://www.instagram.com/p/CmQr_tdsctB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Check out a great, smart new book about #davidbowie — #davidbowieandromanticism — link in bio for details. Two albums in a row here featuring David Bowie as a producer. The first one is #MotttheHoople #alltheyoungdudes #1972 — The band was about to throw in the towel and then #bowie intervened, producing the album for them and contributing the title track, which became their major hit. #mickralphs’ #readyforlove first appears on this album, which later became a hit for his future band @officialbadco #badcompany. Picked this one up from the glorious Michelle @savvy_vinyl_records #melbournefl savvyvinylrecords.com #vinylcollector #rock #vinyljunkie #vinylrecords #rocknroll #vinyladdict #rockandroll #vinyl #vinylcollection #rockmusic #vinylcommunity #vinyljunkie #music #classicrock #rock #glam #glamrock #rocknroll #rockmusic #rockandroll #rockandromanticism #70s #70srock #70smusic (at Vinyl Request Records) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjqmQKCu5m9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

imon Kirke  of Bad Company Live on Game Changers With Vicki 

I was Live with Simon Kirke, co-founder of Free and Bad Company, two of the greatest rock bands in history. A huge lifelong fan, it was a thrill to sit down and hear how it all went down, including how Snuffy, a guitar player kinda close to my heart, ended up playing on Free’s Heartbreaker. 

We heard about Simon’s very humble beginnings with neither running water nor electricity, talk about building character, his transistor radio, listening to big bands, pre-Beatles, making his own drumsticks, and finding his way back to London from the countryside with a time limit to make it and joining Paul Kossoff’s Black Cat Bones just under the wire. How they formed Free, All Right Now, the song that made them, and perhaps, destroyed them. The unrelenting touring, and then Kosoff’s unrelenting drugs. How the band evolved before imploding. Ultimately, in part, morphing into Bad Company, one of the greatest straight-up rock bands of all time with Simon co-writing its anthem. He’s the only member of the band to be in every lineup since its inception, including the band’s last tour. We heard about them all. Thrilling!

I so love Simon’s solo effort, All Because of You, written for Maria, his wife of 6  years. Reminiscent of Roger Daltry for me, it’s in heavy rotation in my kitchen.  He’s guested on recordings by Wilson Pickett, Jim Capaldi, and Ron Wood, and has toured with Chuck Berry, Ray Charles, Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, and Ringo Starr & His All-Star Band. The best with the best. We heard great stories about Chuck, Ringo, Peter Frampton, Jack Bruce, Dave Mason, and of course, Kossoff and Rodgers. 

We talked at length about addiction––the drinking, the drugs, the debauchery, some great stories there, and recovery, tried more than once, and how it was too long ago for Kossoff. But, has gratefully stuck for Simon, who is doing much to give back. Simon works with Road Recovery, aiding teens to get and hopefully stay sober, is on the board of a Rehab facility, Right Turn, and is in the process of writing a Rock Opera about recovery with its CEO. 

Simon fears with Paul Rodgers’ health issues, this is the end of Bad Company after 50 years. He’s scored a few films and looks forward to a lot more of that in his future, mirroring another musician turned composer we know who’s fared pretty well. 

They say, be careful meeting your heroes. No worries here. Simon Kirke exceeded all my very high (but sober) hopes, as a person and a rock star. What fun! Can’t Get Enough!
