Pickin' It Out with Andrew Pope

When you think about bands like Alice Cooper, Thin Lizzy and Lynyrd Skynyrd, you are talking about some major music history that covers a lot of ground… This guy has been in them all as well as many others. And believe it or not, we both graduated from the same high school, 20 years apart. Is there something in the water in Geraldine, AL? Today I’m #PickinItOut with the one and only rock guitarist Damon Johnson. Don’t miss this great conversation. 

Sure he’s the man that sent Eric Bischoff home from WCW in 1999, but there’s so much more that this man has done. He was a United States Air Force combat pilot in Vietnam, commissioner of the Southeastern Conference, the head of the Olympic Committee, president of Turner Sports, and he spearheaded multiple projects for George Steinbrenner. Not to mention, he’s one hell of a man and i’m honored to be #PickinItOut with Dr. Harvey Schiller. Do not miss this’n.
