Robert J. Stava: From CBGB to Cranial Leakage

Robert J. Stava: From CBGB to Cranial Leakage

Staci’s guest is Robert J. Stava, an author whose books include The Haunted Sketchbook and Cranial Leakage: Tales from the Grinning Skull. Robert performed for nearly a decade on the New York music scene with his band, The Jag, and he’s got stories about drinking with Michael Stipe of REM, smashing his guitar onstage at the famous CBGB nightclub, and some close calls with death. Robert also talks about the mysterious “lost” rock band that served as the inspiration for his short story, “The Lonely Dancers,” which can be found in his book The Feast of Saint Anne. Lastly, Staci reads from Rock & Roll Nightmares: True Stories, telling the tale of a tragic double suicide.
