Entertainment icon Michael Des Barres just released his brand new album, "It's only Rock 'N' Roll" that pays tribute to classic songs of the 1970s and to celebrate we asked him to tell us about the title track, a cover of the Rolling Stones classic "It's Only Rock 'n' Roll (But I Like It)".

Mick and Keith and Bo Diddley, born in London and McComb, Mississippi, that in itself is a book. Bob Dylan is as important to us as is our mother and father. I get it. (continue)
