This week on the Richard Crouse Show, the Classic Rock Special! It\u2019s August, and for many people the soundtrack to the late summer is classic rock, so I thought I\u2019d take a trip through the vault and give some of my favorite interviews with classic rockers another spin.\n\nWe\u2019ll meet Cheap Trick guitarist Rick Nielsen and bassist Tom Petersson who talk about the early days of the band and finding success in Japan. Ace Frehley, the original lead guitarist and co-founding member of KISS stops by to talk about working with his former band, his new music and why he doesn\u2019t approve of all of the KISS merchandise that features his image. Liberty DeVitto, author of the memoir Liberty: \u201cLife, Billy and the Pursuit of Happiness\u201d talks about the thirty years he spent playing drums for Billy Joel. We talk about how they met and get some inside scoop. For instance, did you know Only the Good Die Young was written as a reggae song? Finally, we meet John Lennon\u2019s personal photographer Bob Gruen. The legendary photographer opens up about taking famous pictures of every rock \u2018n roll star from David Bowie and Led Zeppelin to The Clash and The Sex Pistols.
