The Bacon Brothers
Recently I spoke with Kevin and Michael Bacon about the music of the Bacon Brothers.
What inspired the both of you to form a band and go on the path of making music together with everything else you have going on in your respective careers?
Michael - We never really done a lot of planning. We've always played music together. Kevin played in my band for awhile and he played in lots of different bands So a friend of his put the possibility in our heads and said why don't you guys come down, put a band together and call it The Bacon Brothers and play for fun. That's how it happened. Timing is everything and at that time in our lives it seemed like a good idea so we did it. It worked out well to do it. It went on like that and we started putting on shows and pretty soon it started rolling on its own and now here we are 14 years later with 6 albums out.
How does creating music that you get to go out and perform live differ from what else you do? What does the live performance of music give you that the other things you do does not?
Kevin - For me I started out my acting career in the live theater. I love the live aspect and one of the things that I love about it is there is a certain element of danger. Because every night anything can happen live. Sometimes like at a Wednesday matinee you might have hardly nobody in the audience and then other nights you have a huge audience, which is a triumph. So sometimes you can't fall asleep because that memory of that time being up on that stage keeps running in your head. That is exactly what playing live music gives me. If something goes wrong you can't edit it, you can't stop and cut it. It is what it is. To have that in my life is very, very exciting and rewarding.

Interview with Kevin Bacon
I spoke with Kevin Bacon about his early days in acting. I hope you enjoy the interview as much as I enjoyed speaking with Mr. Bacon.
Date of Interview: 4/16/2009
Kevin Bacon was born July 8, 1958 and he got his first acting part on the big screen in 1978 as Chip Diller in "National Lampoon's Animal House". Kevin has since starred in a number of well known movies such as "Diner", "Footloose", "White Water Summer", "Flat-liners", "Tremors", "Rails and Ties", and "Taking Chance" to name a few.
I launched right in with the "meat" of the interview and Kevin answered openly.
What got you interested in acting?
Kevin - Well I had taken an acting class and I fell in love with it. I was already playing music -- I was playing in a band with my brother who took off on a music career of his own-- and I thought maybe I will do something else and I took an acting class. You know I really wanted to be rich and famous that was a really big part of it. I got out of high school and I moved to New York and I started studying acting, I fell in love with it and all of the sudden I wanted to get more experience in acting. The fame and fortune part of it wasn't as important to me as the actual acting part, it was really inspiring.
Your first spot in a movie was as Chip Diller in Animal House in 1978, correct?
Kevin - Yes
Can you remember what your thoughts were when you got that part? Did you even consider that it would become a full time career with so many amazing movies in your resume?
Kevin - Well you know I never considered that I was going to be doing anything else, so yes I knew it was going to be a full time career. It was not something that I was just trying out. You know those secret dreams that you have that you never express to anyone. Those dreams of stardom or seeing your name in lights or whatever it happens to be. But really it is baby steps, on a day to day basis. The fame part is not what drives you.
