Description: I’m going to let Bill Medley explain why this one’s a must-hear: “This is one of the most unbelievable interviews I’ve ever done in my life, and I appreciate it, and I thank you—I can retire now.  It’s been an honor, it’s been a lot of fun. You’ve asked me a lot of questions that I’ve never been asked before, and probably brought more out of me than I wanted to give--or should give--but hey, it is what it is, and I love you for it.”   Here’s just some of the many things Bill and I touch on in this podcast:    The real reason why he actually left The Righteous Brothers back in 1968; His hilarious three-month-long love affair with marijuana in 1970; What inspired their 1974 reunion; And unforgettable, heartbreaking details of Bobby Hatfield’s death scene, onto which Bill stumbled in 2003.   Listen: https://podfollow.com/1592182331⁠⁠   I support a wife and a five-year-old son with Discograffiti’s Patreon as my sole source of income.    If you’re a Righteous Brothers superfan like me, you’ll want THE DIRECTOR’S CUT of this episode.
