010 – Glen Graham (Blind Melon): Pop music, then and now

In this session of the Drummer’s Resource Podcast I talked to Glen Graham from Blind Melon.  A band who is best known for their successful “No Rain” song and video which yielded quadruple platinum album sales.  The band’s success came to a screeching halt after the passing of their lead singer, Shannon Hoon.
