Cumin’ Atcha in Writing
Brian Wheat is a founding member of the multi-platinum Rock band Tesla. The bassist has been there during the good times and the bad times from 1982 through today. Brian decided to document his successes, excesses, set backs, and triumphs in his new autobiography Son of a Milkman: My Crazy Life with Tesla [review]. Not only does Wheat share stories from the road and the studio, but he also shares his deeply personal medical challenges in hopes to help those that are struggling with similar issues. I had the chance to speak with Brain Wheat about his “crazy life.”
