Close Up Radio Spotlights Author Kristin “KC” Casey

Austin, TX – Close Up Radio welcomes Kristin “KC” Casey, author of Rock Monster: My Life with Joe Walsh, in an exclusive interview with host Doug Llewelyn on March 24th at 2pm EDT.

Rock Monster: My Life with Joe Walsh is a memoir of author Kristin “KC” Casey’s life-changing relationship with guitar legend Joe Walsh.

“The rock and roll lifestyle was always going to overpower his relationships. It’s all-consuming, and I got consumed,” says Casey. “The lifestyle is dangerous territory. A lot of women get into it thinking we’re going to be fine. Most of us are wrong.”

Casey met Walsh in 1988 when she was 20. Walsh was 40. They dated seven years and were even engaged.

Casey dipped her toes into the rock and roll lifestyle but soon found herself dragged beneath the current.

“There's something about being on tour and being witness to and part of the family of the band on the road that’s unlike anything else,” says Casey. “Initially, everyone around him appreciated me, but after two years I was part of the problem.”

Casey and Walsh would break up in 1995. When she found sobriety, Casey, realized she had an interesting story to tell about her years with Walsh and the demise of their relationship.

Relationship stories, especially stories of volatile relationships with rock stars, will always fascinate people, but Casey’s story was so entwined with her addiction.

Fans of Walsh will be happy to learn Casey still thinks the world of the rock legend.

“I still love Joe. I'm not in love with him, but he was my best friend for a long time,” says Casey.
