About this episode
Vicky Hamilton built a career in rooms where women weren't supposed to be, and the music business still hasn't given her full credit. She's a Women Who Rock champion and one of rock's most underrecognized pioneers.
In this episode: how a kid from Fort Wayne with no connections ended up managing Guns N' Roses, Poison, Mötley Crüe, and Faster Pussycat, why she started her own label to make June Carter Cash's Grammy-winning album, and the memoir that tells the rest. Appetite for Dysfunction: A Cautionary Tale is at vickyhamilton.com.
Every woman has a story worth telling. This is hers.
