Steve Morse was interviewed for the Metal Mayhem ROC podcast, reflecting on his storied 50+ year career. For the most impatient of us, the Purple bits start at around 43 minutes into more than an hour-long conversation. However, we encourage you to find some time to listen to the whole thing all the way through. It is well worth your time.

Thanks to Mike for the heads-up.

PS. Contact Lost was recently on our trainspotting grapevine as a Who Wants to Be a Millionaire-type TV game show in India featured a question along the lines “Which rock band, whose albums Kalpana Chawla had carried on her mission, wrote the song Contact Lost in honour of the Columbia astronauts?” The options were “A. Pink Floyd, B. Black Sabbath, C. Green Day, and D. Deep Purple”. The player didn’t answer correctly.

Speaking of trainspotting, apparently Burn — along with Iron Maiden’s Run to the Hills — is among the new Japan PM Sanae Takaichi’s favourite songs.
