As an author, he's the final word on Hastings Street myth and lore--the blues, the blood, the boundaries bloated and bemused. When it comes to what Hollywood says, they refer to his books and then twist it up with some glamor that never happened to sell tickets. Cohassey calls their bullshit and bluffs. He talked to those that knew John Lee Hooker, that worked the strip, that knew where the actual clubs were and went behind the scenes. Ahmad Jamal, Yusef Lateef, Elvin Jones, and ...Jack Kerouac? Ernest Hemingway? Neil Young? Back room cross-dressing? Yeah, this one dives deep folks! Soundgarden's Ben Sheppard worships him. You don't want to get John Cohassey started unless you plan to listen--he will give you the real story if you have time to pay attention.  Here in part 2 we get down to particulars with Sunnie Wilson, Hemingway, Joe Louis, and how Hollywood continues to twist Detroit's plot. Listen up now!

Fasten your seatbelts, music enthusiasts, as I welcome the multi-faceted Canadian artist Jack Panic on this engaging installment of Music Junkies. Jack's musical voyage began with the piano at the tender age of eight, transitioning to the guitar, and eventually playing bass in the band Sparrows. As he shares his fascinating journey, we traverse the turbulent terrain of the music industry, unearthing insights about the endurance and sincerity found in bands like Motley Crue and Tommy Lee, punctuated by an intriguing encounter with DJ Ashba

But it's not all about the high notes and hit songs. The conversation takes a poignant turn, as we explore the echoes of managing relationships for artists living life in the fast lane. We dissect the transformation of the entertainment world, from the rock & roll rebellion of yesteryears to the more accountable and somewhat censored environment of today. Also on the playlist is a discussion about how concerts have evolved over the years, from a wild, immersive experience to a polished performance for social media.

Our deep dive into the world of music wouldn't be complete without discussing our favorite genres and songs, and underlining the importance of an open mind when it comes to appreciating different types of music. Jack and I also pull back the curtain on his secret Billy Talent show at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto. Finally, we wrap up by exploring the creative process behind his music, the challenges of releasing an album independently, and where you can find him online. Tune in to this electric episode of Music Junkies and experience the thrilling journey of Jack Panic!
