Recently I came across an amazing YouTube channel I think 80s music junkies will enjoy.
His name is Adam Reader and he calls himself The Professor of Rock. In 2016, he told The Salt Lake Tribune, “I don’t care about the sex and drugs part, I care about the rock ‘n’ roll part, and what makes these musicians tick and who they are as a human being.”
Recently the Professor sat down with the “Red Rocker,” Sammy Hagar, the talk about the inspiration behind his 1984 mega hit “I Can’t Drive 55.”
The video for “I Can’t Drive 55″ is posted below. I always thought Sammy should’ve made a cameo appearance in Cannonball Run II. After all, the film came out the same year a the single and it would’ve been the perfect promotional vehicle.
You can follow The Professor of Rock on YouTube and I’ll be sure to share more of his great interviews here on EagleDayton.com.
