Michael Hanson, ex-Glass Tiger

Michael Hanson, ex-Glass Tiger

Glass Tiger founder/original drummer Michael Hanson talks about how two bands merged into Glass Tiger, opening up for Culture Club/Journey/Tina Turner/Moody Blues, why Tiger Beat magazine compared him to pinup pretty boy David Cassidy, the ‘Boy George Incident,’ his celebrity interactions at the Juno and Grammy Awards [Roger Daltry! Paul Simon! Celine Dion! Peter Cetera! Don Johnson! Peter Gabriel! Stevie Wonder!], being too busy to play Wayne Gretzky’s Royal Wedding, how he got Bobby Orr to autograph his guitar, why Brian Burke entrusted him with his Maple Leafs Briefcase [he was truculent!], and how he managed to evade the Iron Sheik’s ‘Camel Clutch’ finishing move!
