#206 Alan McGee (Music Executive)

Episode 206 of Life In The Stocks sees the return of music industry executive, Alan McGee. Alan returns for his second appearance on the podcast to discuss the new film about his colourful life & storied career: Creation Stories. We talk about the team behind the movie and how faithful it is to what actually went down. We also discuss Alan's descent into drug addiction, and how he bounced back to get clean and sober. We talk about festival season (?), the future of UK music, New Labour, Britpop, punk & acid house. And Alan shares an amazing story about actor Joaquin Phoenix. Creation Stories is out NOW.

The brand aims to fuse their love of music, skateboarding, snowboarding & surfing and the lifestyle that surrounds these subcultures with a commitment to raising awareness of mental health. I couldn't be more proud to be the official ambassador for this radical clothing company, and I look forward to collaborating with them on lots of future projects.
