He tells us the stories about some of the songs from the new album, working with The Doors founder Ray Manzerek, and being in one of the most famous punk bands of all time. John tells us about growing up in Baltimore, his story of being pulled over by the Los Angeles Police Department and what he’s been doing during the quarantine.
