Exclusive: Kenny Loggins tells us about the state of the music industry and his favorite animated shows.

Recently, rock and roll legend Kenny Loggins got on a conference call courtesy of FX Networks to talk a little bit about his upcoming appearance on tonight’s all-new episode of Archer Vice playing the character of ‘‘K-Log”. 

However, we decided to ask a couple questions on two different extremes. For starters we wanted to ask Kenny about some o fhis favorite animated shows seeing as how he is guest starring on one tonight on FX. So what are some of his favorites?

Yes, animated show when I was younger, well, you could probably fill in the list; I watched a lot of them, if not all of them, when I was a kid. And, of course, The Simpsons for years. I guess Archer is pretty much the last of the animated shows that I watch. What am I forgetting? Yes. No. I know the others that my son watches I don’t watch, because I just don’t have the time, that …. There’s a new one that they’ve been advertising a lot on. Oh, oh, of course, Family Guy. Family Guy I was watching forever. I haven’t watched it this year, but that’s all based on time.

Today will see the release of Cherlene featuring Archer Vice’s ”Cherlene” set to sing a duet of “Danger Zone” that will be performed in tonight’s episode, and available via digital platforms March 3rd with the release of the 12-track album. Kenny Loggins has been in the music industry for almost 40 years, so has the music industry changed MUCH since his debut album in 1971?

Yes. Well, I think that electronics has probably changed, the use of electronics and digital recording has changed the face of pop music the most dramatically. I don’t know whether you’ve read David Burns book or not, but he really does an in-depth history of the evolution of rock and roll from Bill Haley on. I think that creating music to be perfect using electronics has changed what music is most dramatically and the listener’s experience of music. The live music was the predominant music, and now live music is not the predominant source of music. Everything is pretty much canned. 

Archer Vice is all-new tonight on FX @ 10 pm EST, check your local listings!
