Hosted by Mike Hall and Garen Wolter. episodic false no https://rock-of-ages.podomatic.com/images/default/R-1400.png https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/rock-of-ages Mike Hall Is it rock-n-roll history as seen through the eyes of two drooling, fanatical rock fanboys, or is it brilliant insight into the manic, murky world of rock? How the #@$! should we know? We just made the thing! All kidding aside, Rock of Ages is a history show for those interested in the stories behind the giants of classic rock. Added bonus: two really cool hosts! Rock of Ages is brought to you by Mike Hall, multi-instrumentalist and hardcore history buff, and Garen Wolter, who is not only a font of rock trivia but is also far better-looking and much more likable than Mike (he can also work on cars, which is totally manly and stuff). Questions, comments, and suggestions for future shows can be emailed to rock-of-ages@live.com. https://rock-of-ages.podomatic.com/entry/2008-11-02T20_59_10-08_00 https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/rock-of-ages/episodes/2008-11-02T20_59_10-08_00 Mon, 03 Nov 2008 04:59:10 +0000 2020-08-02 2013-12-05 https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/rock-of-ages/episodes/2008-11-02T20_59_10-08_00 Mike Hall pink,floyd,rock,history,music,classic 3642 false With Syd Barrett out of the picture, Pink Floyd struggles to find its feet.
