RUSTY BURNS
Rusty Burns is a survivor of rock music’s reckless 1970s and 1980s life on the road – first as the founder, leader, main songwriter and lead guitarist of the band Point Blank, and then as a member of other bands. He toured nearly non-stop for twenty-five years, sometimes headlining, but mostly in support of every major act there was -- living, breathing, and abusing the scene every step of the way. Now, a wholly changed man, he is still around to tell the tale.
