Ep. 67: Chris Georggin (Blink-182) | Artist Manager (Pt. 2)

Part 2 of the epic tale of Chris Georggin and Blink-182 is here!

The first episode tells the story of how his friendship with the band and how that grew to him working with them and Rick DeVoe. Him experiencing the band blowing up in real time with Enema of the State coming out, and a ton of stories about these incredible pranks the band would play on him.

This episode we get into the next chapters. He shares his personal thoughts on why the band broke up for the first time. Him and Rick managing Angels & Airwaves. A tragic event bringing Blink-182 back together.

The back half of the episode is full of his incredible perspective and personal take on the whole experience. All of the most valuable life and industry lessons he learned along the way while working with Blink-182. If that’s not a good episode, I don’t know what is!
