Dee Snider, is simply one of the best guys in Rock.
He’s unpretentious, outgoing, and treats everyone with respect & grace. He’s one of those guys that you wish *every* famous person you come in contact with, could see deal with people, and then feel shame about the way they interact.
We’ve met a few times over my career. But, it’s been 13 years since I’ve had him on the show. As I usually do afternoons at the stations I’ve been with, it’s customary to drive all the guests to morning shows. Just sort of how the game works.
Dee never pulls punches. We spent almost two hours hanging out. Now, we had to play some music (FYI…according to KDKB Assistant Program Director; Matt Spaetzel, we played exactly *3* songs…if you don’t count Dee’s version of “The Ballad Of Sweeney Todd.” I would counter with “Yeah…but they were “Heartbreaker/Livin’ Lovin’ Maid,” “Iron Man,” and some other song we used as time-filler. So “NYAAAAAH!”).
I cannot say enough about how much fun it was to have Dee in. I think you can hear it in the audio. It *is* about 43 minutes (Spaetz wondered who’d be able to get a word in. Answer: Nobody) once you edit out the commercials, and music (which BTW…we’re not allowed to include Dee’s music in the interview re-post. Something about licensing, and clearances. Go buy the “Dee Does Broadway” CD. It’s awesome!).
And, of course, I would be remiss, if I didn’t mention that Dee also hosts “The House Of Hair” every Saturday Night on KDKB!
Enjoy!
