I'm beside myself to finally get this guy on my podcast! What a long and colorful music history ! I met Howard Kaylan when he and Mark Volman we're "Flo & Eddie" in the Mothers of Invention. Always a big fan of the Turtles, I was crazy about their voices, and one of my fave memories is when Howard had me stand on the side of the stage as they sang those gorgeous back-ups to Hungry Heart with Springsteen!. I'm definitely having him back for another round. Here we go dolls!! This show is part of Pantheon Podcasts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
