This week for my second interview of a double dose of denim, Season 1, Episode 8 Gen X Joe interviews Acey Longley, son of former Great White guitarist Ty Longley. Acey and Gen X Joe discuss his charity called B.E.A.T.S., standing for 'Bringing Everyone A Tremendous Smile'. It’s a gentle pun as Acey’s musical passion is the drums, which he has been playing since he was a toddler. The roots of Acey’s charity grew from the January 2010 earthquake that devastated Haiti. LifeSpring, the Christian church that Acey and his mother attended, became involved in relief efforts. After this, he conceived something bigger right around the time of the ninth anniversary of The Station fire. He felt he wanted to help more children, this time in the United States and he wanted to honor his father. As a result, he thought young hospital patients might appreciate gifts of drumsticks, toys, action figures, dolls or gift cards. His mother Heidi reached out to contacts she’d kept in the rock world and soon, donations of drumsticks began arriving from musicians who play for KISS, Fleetwood Mac, 3 Doors Down, REO Speedwagon and other bands. As well Once Bitten (Jack Russell) and Great White themselves. This is a heartfelt interview sure to make the hardest rockers shed a tear and make your mascara run.

Season 1, Episode 7 is another double dose of denim for interviews, it would be two for the price of one if it wasn't already free streaming. Patrick Stone will join GenXJoe on the first of two upcoming episode of the Youth Gone Mild Podcast. Patrick is one of the powerhouse voices behind the greatest rock & roll experience on the planet, Hairball. As one of three lead singers in Hairball, Patrick channels iconic frontmen David Lee Roth, Steve Perry, Robert Plant, Sebastian Bach, Bret Michaels, and Axl Rose — in full character and full costume. And Hairball itself? It's a band that doesn't put on a concert — it puts on an event, because calling it a concert would be like calling Mount Rushmore a roadside attraction. Playing songs from Van Halen, KISS, Mötley Crüe, Queen, Journey, and Aerosmith are just a few of the legendary acts brought to life every single night. If you haven't experienced Hairball live yet — what are you waiting for?! Hope you enjoy today's episode with Patrick Stone.
