  1. Great stuff! Hilarious Neil comments near the end, about his take on the groupie phenomenon, and about Tulsa representing the US for him, more than New York...

  3. @dickie - yeah, the Tulsa comments were insightful as a metaphor for America.

    We chatted about it last night on Thrasher's Wheat Radio. Which, btw, the podcast is now ready for download @

  4. I love hearing very early recordings of young stars that had long long careers afterwards already talking like they've seen it all and done it all already! I was reading a similar interview yesterday with Trent Reznor a year or so after his first album came out talking about how much he's changed and matured since he recorded it! So adorable. ;-]
