Cheating and Sex in Rock N’ Roll – Interview with John Malkin

Do most rock legends cheat on tour or is that simply a myth? Is it possible to resist the temptation of men and women who revere you for your talent and star power, then make themselves available to you as intermittent sex partners while you’re on tour? The answer may surprise you.

On today’s show I welcome John Malkin, former MTV executive, lead singer of the rock band The Simple Radicals and a self professed rock aficionado. John shares some great stories about rock legends from the 80s, 90s and beyond who’ve cheated big time, and some who haven’t been unfaithful at all.

You’ll hear about rock legend Mark Farner from Grand Funk (We’re an American Band; Some Kind of Wonderful)— stories John first heard when he interviewed Farner on his podcast “Music and A Brew.” We’ll also hear about Metallica in stories John culled from VH1s “Behind The Music.” In this episode we hear all this more, as we take a look at cheating and fidelity in the world of rock n’ roll.
