Excellent episode! The mark of a great interview is if the interview is interesting even if the subject isn’t, and this one was fun to listen to even if I had to wrack my brain to remember who Led Zeppelin were, and any of their songs. I confess to thinking ‘Smoke on the Water’ but of course that isn’t them, and then I remembered the way the pubs took ‘Stairway to Heaven’ off the jukeboxes back in the 90’s because it was played incessantly as an ccompaniment to drunken pool.
Now looking forward to part 2
(And if you’re in Oregon, or Portland anyway, for AWP, why not arrange a book signing at Powells?)
Ahoy, DJ.
My book won’t officially be out yet, and I expect Powell’s will be clobbered by AWP. My focus will be on conducting interviews, moderating a panel, and attending a tiki bar.
Though I do hope to get to Powell’s as a pilgrim of literature.
