Backstage Pass

About the Book

One meeting and autograph from an English pop star kicked off a Milwaukee broadcaster’s unprecedented quest to meet every living artist who reached the top of Billboard’s Hot 100 music chart. Jim Cech (pronounced “check”) shares radio stories and spans generations with a wide range of performer interviews from Bill Haley’s Comets to the Commodores to Eminem. If you appreciate popular music and the artists who perform it, you need to get your Backstage Pass.
