I’m going to let Bill Medley explain why this one’s a must-hear: “This is one of the most unbelievable interviews I’ve ever done in my life, and I appreciate it, and I thank you—I can retire now. It’s been an honor, it’s been a lot of fun. You’ve asked me a lot of questions that I’ve never been asked before, and probably brought more out of me than I wanted to give–or should give–but hey, it is what it is, and I love you for it.”
Here’s just some of the many things Bill and I touch on in this podcast:
- The real reason why he actually left The Righteous Brothers back in 1968;
- His hilarious three-month-long love affair with marijuana in 1970;
- What inspired their 1974 reunion;
- And unforgettable, heartbreaking details of Bobby Hatfield’s death scene, onto which Bill stumbled in 2003.
