Summary
On Today's Darkness Radio, we sit down one on one with one of the greatest rock guitarists and composers on the planet and start out with a basic question that you would ask a genius, "does your inspiration come truly from within yourself. or from the Divine (God, a collective consciousness, etc.), then we pull the ripcord, and let the Maestro go! We also talk with Steve about some of his greatest hits and highlights of his career and see how they line up with his own spiritual beliefs. and before the end of the end of the program, Steve drops a bomb on everyone that you don't wanna miss!
