What a career Michael Des Barres has had. From the stage to the big screen to television and musical concerts, this is a man who’s literally done everything.i

Most recently Michael has re-imagined the Sex Pistols classic Anarchy in the UK.  I’s gone from an angry punk rocker to a slow, powerful ballad representing our times. Truly, it’s a remarkable effort.

But of course there’s a million topics we could cover with Michael Des Barres, and we try and fit in as many as we can, such as:

• How his version of Anarchy in the UK came to be and supporting the Poor People’s Campaign.
• His thoughts on comparing music legends of the past with today’s performers.
• His sudden and unexpected performance in front of tens of millions at Live Aid singing for Power Station.
• His singing voice compared to former Power Station lead Robert Palmer.
• If he had any idea his role of Murdoc on the original MacGyver would lead to future appearances.
• His very pointed thoughts on Steven Seagal‘s behavior towards the cast and crew on Under Siege.
• His contribution to the classic WKRP episode Hoodlum Rock that changed the whole episode for the better.
• The disaster that was the New WKRP in Cincinnati sitcom.
