Paul Rappaport, new book: “Gliders Over Hollywood” is full of stories from his days at Columbia Records, featuring Pink Floyd, The Stones, Elvis Costello & many more. PART 2

Original air date: August 1, 2025

 

First off, we highly reccomend that you listen to part one before you listen to this half of the interview.

If you've ever wondered what it's like to work in the rock and roll business at the highest level, this guest has the answers to all of your questions. 

Paul Rappaport started out as just a regular guy from Southern California - someone who loved ledgendary concerts and played guitar in his own band. But as fate would have it, a recommendation led him to apply for a college rep position at Columbia Records, and he only moved up from there. 

In the episode, Paul tells incredible stories about the Rolling Stones (Ron Wood & Keith Richards), Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, Elvis Costello and more. 

Paul just released his critically acclaimed book, "Gliders Over Hollywood" and he is happy to share many of those stories on this episode of our podcast.
