Jacques & long-time pal Mike Ragogna chat about their years of working together (Mike was A&R executive at Universal Music Group and then Capitol Records). With no Biff and Joe to keep the guard rails up … Jacques (whose audio is HORRIBLE on this one) rambles more than usual. You’ve been warned!
Mike & Jacques worked on DOZENS of amazing music DVD projects together and it was Mike doing that lead to Jacques being Billy Ray Cyrus quasi-manager and producing a half dozen of his videos, two TV specials, a TV pilot and DOZENS of NFL/NASCAR anthems/concerts.
The two talk Mike’s career as a singer/song writer starting in Mike’s teen-years (his first break writing and singing on Marvel Comic Records themed Spider-Man album. Mike song “Peter Stays And Spidy Goes” is a well know anthem in the 70s SpiderVerse. SADLY Joe wasn’t here talk about Mike singing on the 1984 Atari Pole Position Commercial!
Mike and Jacques give shout outs to many “unindicted co-conspirators” they’ve got to meet along the way… Like Joni Mitchell and music exec legend Bob Mercer… No .. not kidding.
Mike and Jacques relationships has survived trying times … like the time Mike picked Jacques up to drive 8 hours to Phoenix where Jacques booked Mike to do an anthem with the NHL Coyotes … sounds great but Mike got to Jacques’ house moments after the NE Patriots suffered one of worse losses in the Brady Era and Jacques was in a horrible mood and didn't take to Mike the entire ride … THEN … Jacques snoring lead to Mike having to get another room in the middle of the night!
