https://shows.acast.com/64de4e5db2838f0011a11fce/660b449005ba130016666046 I had so much fun talking to Chris Sluskerenko from the rad band Eyelids - and Sprinkler back in the day -- about one of my favorite concert films, "Homecoming." Check it out if you like a) podcasts b) live music c) movies about live music d) Coachella, Beyonce, The Rolling Stones, the Pixies and lots of other mad stuff.

I probably did this in the wrong order, but I arranged some publicity for the re-release of my old book, Route 666 - which I am self-publishing as an Ebook and a REAL book, coming soon to an (internet) book store near you! Anyway, check out this cool book club - I'll be talking about my back pages in April, but there's lots of neat stuff first!
