The Forrest Gump of Rock N' Roll

About Me

Parry Rivers moved next door to me, or really maybe I moved next door to Parry Rivers. He's an older man who never leaves his house. It's the real life version of that Dawson's Creek storyline with Mr. Brooks. Parry barked at me one time for falling into his front door drunk, and I've been interviewing him ever since. The posted blogs are real transcripts of my questions to Parry. He's long-winded and incredibly honest. My perception is that he has gotten to the point that death is so close he could careless what the world knows about him. Read his amazing stories of being in the right place at the right time, and sometimes the wrong time. He has met, and influenced, some of the most influential people in pop culture. Check back continuously as I hope to post more and more transcripts of my conversations with Parry. He is an amazing old man, who will not shut up, until the grim reaper puts duck tape on his mouth and drags him off.
