The show notes are as follows:
The show is almost out of the teen years and hopefully knows what it wants to be when it grows up. There has been a learning curve/evolution going on, and I have come to the conclusion that doing a minimally edited, shoot-from-the-hip show is best for me. Doing my early thirty minute shows took about five hours or so, which I outline for you. I can’t keep doing that, so I’m just recording straight through without editing unless something major happens.
I discuss the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and how stupid they do things. They want to put bands in, but not all the members. For example, Nirvana’s drummer from the “Bleach” era, Chad Channing, is not going to be in. Only the lineup from “Nevermind” has been invited. That’s BS, because being the drummer for Nirvana was a lot harder in the “Bleach” days than in the “Nevermind” days. “Bleach” was raw music before the band was radio ready.
I talk about flannel shirts and what my father and I called them, as well as some anecdotes about my exploratory journey to Seattle. I also talk about getting tattoos, which until recently were illegal to get in Oklahoma. When I was 18, I went to Wichita Falls and got a terrible tattoo. I tell some tattoo stories about good and bad decisions.
I talk about the writing program, Scrivener, as well as the Word template I usually writer in. It’s hard to write on an 8.5 x 11 virtual sheet of paper, because so many words fit on the page.
Next, I talk about Patty Schemel, drummer for Hole and childhood friend of my ex-wife. There is a documentary about her on Netflix called, “Hits So Hard”. She left Hole during the recording of “Celebrity Skin”, mainly due to the jerk producer they had. She has conquered addiction and has a dog-walking business now.
I talk about how Mark Lanegan almost threw the master tapes from his solo album in a lake.
Hope you enjoyed this shoot-from-the-hip episode!
