I think, on a presidential level, when I say that it's so incredibly difficult for me to watch the news because the fever of don lemon and the fever of Sean Hannity, these people have gone mad.
Picture this: the wild world of 70s glam rock, the highs of performing for over a billion people at Live Aid, and the gritty journey to maintaining sobriety for over 30 years. In this episode of 'This Life #YOULIVE with Dr. Drew', actor, musician, and SiriusXM host Michael Des Barres takes us through his fascinating life story. From his tumultuous upbringing in English boarding schools to the glitzy yet chaotic days of touring, Des Barres doesn't hold back.
He opens up about his addiction struggles and the challenges he faced while trying to stay sober in an industry rife with temptations. With candid honesty, he shares how he navigated tricky situations early in his recovery, all while staying true to his commitment to sobriety. The conversation also touches on the evolving concept of anonymity in recovery and its relevance in today's society. But it's not all heavy topics.
Des Barres offers his unique insights on the impact of social media, the role of sales skills in manipulating people, and even delves into the controversial subject of fake Christianity in the music industry. He also shares his thoughts on Kurt Cobain's influence and the ongoing debate around vaccinations amidst recent outbreaks. Dr.
Drew and co-hosts Bob Forrest and Mike Catherwood keep the discussion lively and engaging, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of music, addiction, and societal issues.
