Brian Wheat is far from your typical rock star. As bassist for the multi-platinum band, Tesla, he's enjoyed the spoils of success and lived the sex, drugs, and rock n roll lifestyle to the hilt. Brian's book "Son of Milkman" is a deeply honest and utterly revealing memoir.

Brian had many challenges including Bulimia, weight issues, and the crippling anxiety and depression caused by his conditions.

In this episode Brian talks to host Shane Christopher Neal about his memoir, stories of life on the road, and collaborations stories working with Def Leppard, David Lee Roth, Alice Cooper and Paul McCartney.
