Professor Of Rock has released the video below, along with the following introduction…
“Coming up next, an interview with one of rock’s greatest storytellers… Randy Bachman. Randy has accomplished the rare feat of having a #1 hit with two different bands: The Guess Who and Bachman Turner Overdrive. In fact, he got very sick and needed to take some time off, and his first band moved on without him. So he eventually formed another BTO and ended up outselling them, but today’s classic song ‘Let It Ride’ actually came when he was on tour with the Doobie Brothers. BTO was on the way to a gig when they got pinned in a traffic jam. A truck driver with his rig had boxed their tour bus in and they couldn’t move. So after a frustrating wait, this rock legend confronted the trucker at a rest stop. It was about to get ugly as a fight was about to break out. Just when all hell was about to break loose this trucker said something in anger that inspired a rock classic.”
