"If someone told me two years ago that I would be on a TV show hosted by Brooke Burke and hanging out with Tommy Lee, I would have laughed," says drummer Nate Morton '94. Morton and guitarist Jim McGorman '95 are grabbing a quick bite at a café across the street from CBS Studios in West Hollywood before the morning taping of an episode of Rock Star: Supernova. The popular reality show is now in its second season, featuring Morton and McGorman as part of the house band.
