This week I have Jonny Two Bags, guitarist of the legendary punk band Social Distortion on my show. Social D is a personal favorite of mine. To me and obviously a lot of people they have never put out a bad record. Thats a fact. Sum 41 also opened for Social D in 2000 for a week when we were 19 and 20 years old and you’ll definitely get to hear a few stories from that tour as it was also one Jonny’s first tours in Social Distortion after guitarist Denis Danell passed away. Lots to talk about with one of the coolest Jonny Two Bags! Don’t miss it.
