The Disruptors with Brian Sanders

From House of Pain hit songs to establishing The Outsiders House Museum, Danny Boy O'Connor chops it up with B.C. & Ski about the L.A. punk rock gangs of the 1980s and 90s, being arrested during the Rodney King Riots, creating House of Pain, his love of punk rock, hip hop, and soul, his fall into the abyss of alcohol and narcotics and his redemption route to 18 years of sobriety, and tells how one picture of the Curtis Family home sparked the fire in him to spend his last bit of savings to purchase the dilapidated home and accept the help of Jack White, Billy Idol, plumbers, roofers, landscapers, and electricians of Tulsa, Oklahoma who voluntarily gave time and money to restore it to is movie set appearance. It now stands as a museum for anyone to tour, and Danny Boy O'Connor stands as a sober man living a life, sharing his wisdom, and giving back to the next generation. So hit that play button and enjoy the chat.
