#008 Jeff Tweedy of Wilco 1997
A never before heard interview with Jeff Tweedy of the band Wilco from 1997 Jeff Tweedy transcript can be found here. Jeff Tweedy is often described as a reticent interview subject, but I found him to be relaxed and easygoing when we spoke in 1997. At the time, Tweedy and his band Wilco were touring […]
Ep007: Neil Peart of Rush 1990
I interviewed Neil Peart several times over the years and thoroughly enjoyed every conversation. In addition to being a great drummer, he’s a smart, thoughtful, articulate gentleman whose worldview extends well beyond rock ‘n’ roll. This interview, recorded in 1990, was the first of our talks. Nearly 30 years later, I’m still amazed by his […]

Ep006: Rick James 1997
When I spoke to Rick James in 1997, he had already been a megastar, a prisoner, and a recipient of royalties for the use of his “Super Freak” bassline in MC Hammer’s “U Can’t Touch This.” At the time, he was about to start a tour to promote his first album in nine years, “Urban […]

Ep005: Joan Rivers 1990
Joan Rivers was a great interview, and quotes like this are the reason why: “I think one of the reasons (people) do like me, those that like me, is because I really never bullshit them. I always say exactly what I truly think and believe, including when Elizabeth Taylor was fat. She was fat!” At […]

Ep004: Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull 1993
I was a devoted Jethro Tull fan growing up, so I relished every chance I had to speak to founder and leader Ian Anderson. In this conversation, which took place during the 1993 tour celebrating the band’s 25th anniversary, Anderson, then 46 years old, talked about Tull’s legacy (“almost an important band”), the best Tull […]

Ep003: Trey Anastasio 1993
I have a long, strange history with Phish. I’m an admirer—nobody dares do what Phish does routinely, which is to play a completely different show and challenge its audience—and a skeptic, because sometimes, they step on their dicks. In 1997, after the August 10 Phish concert at Deer Creek Music Center in Noblesville, Indiana, I […]
