Exploring the Decline of Traditional Songwriting and the Appeal of Narrative-Driven Music

Meet Desmond Child, the amazing songwriter and producer who was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2008. His hits are endless and you are sure you recognize more than a few: Kiss' "I Was Made for Lovin' You"; Joan Jett & the Blackhearts' "I Hate Myself for Loving You"; Bon Jovi's "You Give Love a Bad Name" and "Livin' on a Prayer"; Aerosmith's "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" and "Angel"; Cher's "We All Sleep Alone" and "Just Like Jesse James"; Alice Cooper's "Poison"; Michael Bolton's "How Can We Be Lovers?"; and Ricky Martin's "The Cup of Life" and "Livin' la Vida Loca", among dozens more! His demeanor is fun and the Two Guys have some great fun with him as Desmond opens up about how he broke into the business, his Cuban roots, his favorite collaborator and so much more.
