I take a walk through Lakeview on a Saturday night after some kids take over my stoop, and end up in the park at midnight talking about tobacco addiction and working on the Downtown Drive-In (which one is worse for my health?). Then, cut to a few nights later in the studio, with updates on the DD-I, and reflections about “Prometheus” (some SPOILERS).

1:13:47 — Hanging out in the driveway on a wet hot Alabama summer night, then finishing up on a bike ride the next cloudy morning. Talking about the Downtown Drive-in, multilevel marketing cults, and coffee black. Also: the Talking Heads, snark, and being the so-called ”Grill Master” (aka: in charge of other people’s happiness).

57:05 — After a month away from the microphone, I get on back to it with an extensive, in depth interview with the awe-inspiring, and perhaps mildly — yet entertainingly — delusional Duke Fightmaster, of “This American Life” fame, who quit his lucrative day job to follow his creative ambition, of hosting a late night talk show on You Tube. Duke’s story makes me wonder if I should do the same. Do you need the “day” to make the “night” happen. Also, was my mind-bending car wreck perhaps a happy accident — something that might allow me to follow in Duke’s footsteps and focus all my energy on creative pursuit?
If you haven’t heard Duke Fightmaster’s odd story, check it out here.
