ZOOM TV EXCLUSIVE WITH RAY SHASHO
ON INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS
The two musicians became the best of friends. Luongo produced, performed, co-wrote, and toured with The John Entwistle Band until Entwistle's death in 2002. Their last live performance together was in Japan during the A Walk Down Abbey Road tour. Later that year he was invited by The Who and Entwistle's family to write and read the eulogy at Entwistle's memorial service in London.
In 2007, Luongo served as producer and composer for a studio band he created with AC/DC bassist Cliff Williams, in which Williams recruited frontman Brian Johnson as the vocalist. The project later known as Forklift gave birth to 7 tracks. "Chain Gang on the Road" was the only track offered by the quartet and was briefly available for a free download during a run of US tour dates in 2007.

In 2012 Luongo began a musical partnership with Cheap Trick
vocalist Robin Zander by forming The Robin Zander Band. Zander was among the
first to be asked to appear in Luongo's documentary film An Ox's Tale - The
John Entwistle Story about the late John Entwistle. (https://youtu.be/PwZrLRBkAfk)

John Entwistle was the bassist for The Who until his untimely passing in 2002.
He was Nicknamed "The Ox" and "Thunderfingers” and is considered
to be one of the most influential bassists in the world, voted as the greatest
bassist of all time in a 2011 Rolling Stone readers' poll and named number
seven by Bass Player in its "100 Greatest Bass Players" issue in
2017. In 1971, Entwistle became the first member of The Who to release a solo
album, Smash Your Head Against the Wall, which earned him a cult following in
the US. Other solo studio albums included: Whistle Rymes (1972), Rigor Mortis
Sets In (1973), Mad Dog (1975), Too Late the Hero (1981), and The Rock (1996).

The John Entwistle Story
Documentary
In 1964,
The Who became one of the key figures of the British Invasion, taking the
American music scene by storm. While Roger Daltrey, Pete Townsend and Keith
Moon took the spotlight with their on-stage antics, John Entwistle, dubbed
"The Quiet One," stood in the shadows... poised to become the biggest
bass player in rock and roll. With his arena-rock days behind him, Entwistle
continued down his own path, finding great musical freedom with the John
Entwistle Band. In 2002, after years of touring his solo project, Entwistle
couldn't resist the lure of bringing back one of the greatest bands in rock and
roll history. Tragically, plans for The Who's North American Reunion Tour were
cut short when on the eve of the first show John was found dead in his Las Vegas
hotel room. "The Ox," as Entwistle was affectionately known, left
behind many fans and several unfinished projects. With his passing, the world
lost a musical legend, dubbed Guitar Magazine's "Bassist of the
Millennium." Narrated by Peter Frampton, John Entwistle: An Ox's Tale
covers the life of John Entwistle, from his first public performance at the age
of 14 to his feelings about The Who's most recent reunion. This film contains
the last footage and interviews ever shot with Entwistle, offering the one
chance for fans to discover the real life behind the man who far exceeded his
greatest aspirations.

THE ROCK STAR CHRONICLES
BOOK TRAILER
BOOK REVIEW
-By Literary Titan (5) STARS
The Rock Star Chronicles by Ray Shasho, is a splendid book written by a music enthusiast who has poured their heart and soul into it. It’s a story of a boy who loved rock music, and his obsessive passion of it earned himself the name Rock Raymond. He went to school but instead was schooled in all matters of music while his peers were buried chin-deep in coursework. He then became a radio DJ and has now compiled a book on all interviews he held with Rock gods who raided the airwaves back in the 70s and 80s. It’s a compilation of interviews with outstanding vocalists, legendary guitarists and crazy drummers in the rock music scene. Each interview gives a reader an in-depth view into their personal lives and the philosophies that guide their lives which all serve to humanize these great icons. For readers who are old enough to call themselves baby boomers this book will bring old memories back to life. Millennials, on the other hand, may think of this book as a literal work of the Carpool Karaoke show.
The Rock Star Chronicles is a book I didn’t know I was waiting for. To come across a book that will talk me into trying something new. One brave enough to incite me to venture into new frontiers. This book made me a believer- I am now a bona fide Rock and Roll music fan.
Ray Shasho masterfully gets the interviewees talking. He smartly coaxes answers from them with crafty questions designed to get a story rolling out of them. The artists talk about diverse issues ranging from music, politics, and their social engagements. Having been on the music seen all his life, Ray Shasho knows the buttons to press, how to get them comfortable about talking about their lives.
The book’s cover is befitting of its subject matter with the leather look offering a royal background to the golden letter print. It speaks to how high a level rock music holds in the pecking order- arguably, modern music as we know it has originated from blues and rock music. The second noteworthy thing is the use of high-definition pictures to reference the musician being interviewed in every sub-chapter. This ensures that the book is for both original rock and roll lovers and aspiring new ones. Together is makes for a refreshing and consistently enjoyable read.
I recommend this book to rock music enthusiasts, aspiring musicians wondering what it takes and all readers curious to learn new things by going back in time.
