Here's part two of that famous Hollywood play-den of the rich and famous with the very best soundtrack!  We're well into the 90s at this point and loads of Brits fill the bill this episode, from Manchester to Scotland to good old Brizzle.  It's all happening down at The Viper Room.

Welcome to the legendary Viper Room of Sunset Strip, West Hollywood!  Many  a rocker/starlet/model/performer passed this way back in the 90s and we are here to tell the tale.  There's a line out front and Iggy's on stage - Duritz is slinging shots, and The Man in Black is quoting movies... Lines, lines - lines everywhere... It doesn't get more Rock n' Roll than this gaff - cheesy Aussie soap actors notwithstanding.  There's always one. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/societyowesmeagenxpodcast/message
We chat this blinder from 1992, where (nearly) everyone wears hats and Pearl Jam manage to provide an epic live masterpiece, despite being on stools.  We delve into the Unplugged history, school discos, philanthropy and interesting tour stops for our faves who continue to be bosses even after 30 years.  Wooah, oh... ohhh oh!   --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/societyowesmeagenxpodcast/message
