Paul Kelly In Conversation With George Thorogood: MGK’s Big Gig 2024
Paul Kelly got the chance to chat with the one and only George Thorogood ahead of MGK’s Big Gig 2024.
The two had a lively conversation about touring, John Fogerty, and Thorogood’s incredible, 50-year-spanning career.
George Thorogood
George Thorogood has an ongoing legacy unlike any in Rock History.
Thorogood and The Destroyers have made good work of reinventing obscure blues, country, and R&B tracks by icons Bo Diddley, John Lee Hooker, and Hank Williams. Now-classic hits like “Who Do You Love?”, “Boogie Chillun” and “Move It On Over” have kept the music of American Masters alive for the MTV Generation and beyond.
Not to be forgotten, his originals such as “I Drink Alone,” ‘Gear Jammer,” and the anthemic “Bad To The Bone” have helped solidify his one-of-a-kind career built on humor, passion, and swagger.
George and The Destroyers have shared stages with many music heroes. They perform for audiences all over the world and have always stayed true to who they are. And it’s clear that George still loves what he does.
