Settling in with rockstar Charlie Farren
Rockstar Charlie Farren www.charliefarren.com settles into Candy's living room to talk about his career with The Joe Perry Project and Farrenheit, his decision to leave the rockstar life behind and shift into "Dad mode", his 20+ year rise to Global Alliance Manager at Hewlett-Packard, and his star-studded solo career as "America's Special Guest" for legendary rock bands including REO Speedwagon, Three Dog Night, Cheap Trick, John Fogerty and ZZ Top.
Reminiscing about their 2009 duet "You Are The Only One" Candy and Charlie talk about reuniting on a new version of Dan Fogelberg's "Longer."
Perhaps the most poignant part of this interview happens toward the end when Candy shares something her father told her: "You know, Candace, they are not going to write she was a great radio girl on your grave." It's at that point that Candy asks Charlie if he has any regrets about his own career decisions.
Says Charlie "I wouldn't change a thing. My wife and I have 3 kids, 7 grandchildren and a puppy. Life is good."
