There's more AA meetings in Southern California than anywhere else on earth. Los Angeles is a nasty town, right it's a. It's a class-oriented town.
Ever wondered what it’s like to blend the worlds of music and addiction recovery? In this episode of The Don't Die Podcast, Bob Forrest and his co-host Chuk dive into an eclectic mix of topics that will keep you hooked from start to finish.
From reminiscing about iconic bands like Fugazi, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Green Day, to discussing the highs and lows of concert prices and the impact of inflation on live music, their conversation is as varied as it is engaging. But it’s not all rock and roll. Bob and Chuk also tackle serious subjects like the challenges of complete abstinence in recovery, the prevalence of AA meetings in Southern California, and the often misleading narratives spun by politicians and big pharma.
With Vin Scully’s passing occurring during the recording, the episode takes a heartfelt turn, adding depth to their discussion. Whether you’re passionate about music, navigating recovery, or simply curious about how these worlds intersect, this episode offers a unique blend of personal stories, industry insights, and thoughtful reflections. It’s a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the complex tapestry of addiction and recovery through the lens of two seasoned veterans.
