Broadcasting live from the Civic Media Studios in Green Bay, this is Night Light with Peach Wabba.

Your inside source on everything entertainment from Wisconsin to Hollywood.

And now, a guy whose house has an actual wiggle room, Pete Schwabba.

Welcome back.

This is Nightlight, and you've got the Civic Media Radio Network.

We are jamming here on a Friday night, having some fun conversations.

If you missed the first hour, our question of the night is, what famous person are you glad you're not related to?

We will get to your texts.

They're piling up.

I need to start reading some texts, but we'll get to those in just a few minutes.

We had a great discussion in hour number one, Lisa Hale, the host of New Wisco Weekend, and we will just get back into our conversation about Dexter with Lisa in just a minute.

We also, what else do we talk about Conrad?

We talked about- Well, Superman.

Superman.

We had a great clip.

Yeah.

The Conrad found between-

David Cornswet and director James Gunn, outstanding.

You can catch all of this in the podcast if you missed it first hour.

And we talked a little bit about Sex and the City, the follow-up, and just like that, fans do not seem happy about the way the show ended.

I got a plug-in for David Zucker, the creator of Airplane, the original naked gun, and Top Secret.

He will be here on...

Monday at 6 35 on nightlight talking about some really cool stuff He's done over the course of his career.

Let us know the answer to our question of the night folks What famous person are you glad you're not related to and we will read those coming up shortly?

Also, it is a bar ban Friday night our pal rocker is Filling in for Terry bar tonight Terry is taking a well-deserved vacation today and rocker.

We really don't miss a beat with rocker.

Would you agree with that con?

Totally agree.

Okay.

So Rocker will be here at 735 and that is the voice of Conrad Krieger working the board right now.

We have a few more minutes with our pal Lisa Hale who is joining us over the stream.

We just finished up a conversation about Dexter and did you watch and just like that, Lisa, are you a sex in the city girl?

I

was never a sex in the city girl.

I just never could get into it.

And you'll find that about me as you get to know me more and more when it comes to girly things.

I'm really not, you know, always in there.

You won't find me watching The Real Housewives or Bachelorette or any of that stuff.

But give me a good serial killer and I'm right there.

I did not mean to make assumptions, but I do know that you love James Bond and serial killers.

I kind of had a feeling I knew which way you were going to swing in that and just like

that question.

But I thought

I would.

Thought I would ask you anyway.

Now the Golden Girls.

I'm all about the Golden Girls now.

So

funny.

Let's talk about New Whisko Weekend.

Such a great news magazine show, I think is how we describe it right here in North

East Wisconsin.

That's exactly what it is.

What do

you got coming up this weekend?

This weekend on New Whisko Weekend, we are going to talk about thrift shops because National Thrift Shop Day is Sunday.

And so we've got a feature article on Able Light Thrift Stores, which are in the Green Bay, Appleton, Nina, Horecon, Watertown,

Eau Claire and there's one other Anyway, there's seven able light thrift stores throughout Wisconsin that use their thrift stores as a way to fund helping adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities thrive and

you know, providing services for them.

So we've got a feature story on that.

Then we've got with Terry Barr, a great interview on somebody who really has spent 15 years thrifting and gives us all the do's and don'ts and wills and won'ts.

And of course, we have Amanda Nimmer talking about Facebook Marketplace.

And we have a story from Joanne Kruelotz about being safe when you're out garage sailing, not buying something that maybe has had a recall on it and

things

like that.

And then there's this guy, what's his name?

Peach Waba.

I'm familiar with this work.

He does this show called Nightlight and he has musical guests on and so this week our musical guest is one that you had on Kailin Cold with Miss Treat Her Right.

Oh wow.

So

we've got that interview to wrap things up.

She's great.

Oh and

then there is.

then there is, of course, the classic cinema pick of the week, which I cannot get through the week without your classic cinema pick of the week.

Good one this week.

Not my favorite from that actor, but a good one.

Okay, so I was going to ask, by the way, Caitlin Cole, fantastic.

Great choice.

I wanted to ask you to, I'm late to the party, as I am with Dexter, I'm thrifting.

I wouldn't say I thrift, but

I realized, you know, when you read about climate change, global warming and all this stuff and these clothes that just, you know, I really got into it.

I'm not a closed person necessarily anyway, even though I look dynamite most of the time, but you can laugh at that.

Wow, she just

kind of got sad.

She's just got a sad look on her face when I said.

I wasn't gonna say a thing.

Nope, nope, wasn't

gonna say a thing.

But I love going into secondhand stores because I have a better chance finding, I like older stuff anyway.

I

don't know.

I

watch a fashion show where a woman's walking around in a nut cup and a pair of heels and I'm like, who the hell would ever wear that?

So no one.

Yeah.

Except unless you're in a fashion show.

So I like my retro stuff and I am totally on board.

I think this is a great topic this weekend.

It is so much fun and.

As somebody who thrips as a side hustle, I will thrift and flip.

Do you know what I mean by flipping like sell something on?

I find something in a thrift store and then I go, somebody else is going to want this and is going to want to buy it from me.

So I'll flip it on eBay.

So, you know, I do that sometimes.

Thrifting is just a different mindset.

You

have

to go in there and not be looking for.

specific, but waiting to see what's going to jump out at you.

Whether it's a fuzzy pink sweater or, you know, some zebra pants or something, something is going to.

Jump out at you and you can take it and make it your style

and something you can't find necessarily that's in style right now But if you know you

like a

certain look that is what thrifting is great at you can usually find it if you're patient My guest is Lisa Hale.

She is the host of newest go weekend We just did a quick rundown of what you can catch this weekend on Lisa's show and then all right So you said Fletch is not your favorite Chevy Chase movie.

What

is I would have to go with Christmas vacation.

Okay

Yeah,

Christmas vacation is always going to be my favorite from him.

I mean, just there's just so many good quotes that can't be shared on the radio.

Right.

But, you know, I like that.

And then I have I have a problem with Chevy Chase now.

It's it's it's kind of hard because I know he's such a butthole.

Yeah, it's kind of hard to really like the character.

But I have I have been able to separate.

the art from the artist in many different ways.

I can do that

sometimes.

And part of me, oftentimes, I don't want to know the extent of what someone has done.

you know, before social media and that, I don't know what went on with people like, you know, Michael Jordan is one of my sports heroes.

Well, social media wasn't, and I'm not insinuating that I know anything, but I like not knowing about stuff.

I just, I want to keep the focus on their work.

And I think Chevy Chase, or Fletch anyway, pound for pound with the one liners is great, but he did two films right after Saturday Night Live seems like old times and foul play.

Did you see those?

I did.

I did foul play.

I liked.

Yeah.

I liked.

It seems like old times, it was, oh, it was okay.

It has Charles Groden and I love everything with Charles Groden.

I mean, how can you not?

Are we

dating ourselves?

Are we dating ourselves just a little bit there?

I'm in my really late 20s and I'm just a history buff, so there

you go.

Favorite Charles Groden film of all time?

Will you just acknowledge that I look dynamite most of the time, regardless

of threads?

You look dynamite, you look fantastic.

I am just so impressed with how great your style is.

I've got the threads.

There's no question about that.

Lisa,

you are such a fun guest.

You're so multi-talented.

Keep up the great work with the news and newest Go Weekend.

We love it.

And thank you for letting me be a part of it and Conrad as well.

Absolutely.

I have one question for you.

As a fellow writer, if I start pounding out serial killer novels, will you proof them for me?

Well, I'll be scared not to if you start writing.

If you get any more into that world, yeah, I'll do whatever you want.

I just tease it with you, but

thank you.

Anytime.

We'll talk soon.

Thanks so much.

All right, thanks.

All right, that's

Lisa Hale.

Check out New WISCO weekend folks here at WGBW and WISS.

And if you miss it there, check out the podcast at civicmedia.us.

All

right, we should probably get some texts here,

huh?

You know what?

I just got to say this, you know, Chevy Chase, Chevy Chase.

Chevy.

Chevy, that works.

Chevrolet Chase.

I really like the movie Funny Farm.

I

do too.

I think it's hilarious.

That's a forgotten about one of

his.

It's

very when he eats all the lamb fries and yellow dog.

Yeah, that's a great.

I love that movie.

I find myself going back to that movie every year because I just need a laugh someday.

Do you really?

Yeah, I should rewatch that.

I kind of forgot about that movie, but I went and saw it with my mom when I was like.

30 years old great film now there are two more candidates for the window love But I already took my picture for the night.

Oh, I tell them to come back Monday

start cataloging them right our question of the night folks is What celebrity are you glad or famous person?

Are you glad you're not related to?

Danny wheels on social media says dr. Phil.

Oh, yes.

Thank you.

I Actually like that guy when he when he was on Oprah at first

I kind of like them.

I like this.

I think his show is funny sometimes.

So

I think that's what he's just turned into such a

tool.

It was never really meant to actually fix a person, I think.

All right.

It's just like, all right, here are their problems.

We're going to laugh at

them.

Exactly.

Oh, it's just what a lot of those shows have become.

Janet on social media says, Mel Gibson.

Yeah, I'm kind of with you there.

He turned into kind of a kook as well.

Our pal Ezekiel Drew says, Danny Masterson.

Yes.

I almost refer to him as a Wisconsin guy, but he's not.

He's a Wisconsin guy via color television.

You didn't really know what happened to him until you're watching the ranch.

And all of a sudden, they killed him off.

And he was one of the most important characters.

All

right, because of the scandal.

And he, you know, he was a car crash that he died in in the in the ranch.

Right.

But it's just like so random, you're like, wait, he died.

And then I looked at him like, oh,

there you go.

You can't do something in real life and not expect to be

killed

off of that magnitude.

He wasn't even just harassing.

He was like a convicted rapist, right?

Yep.

Yep.

Horrible.

Ross on social media says, Trump, we've got a few of those.

I was expecting a few of those, obviously.

A president is going to be polarizing one way or the other, but especially Trump is going to bring that out of certain people.

Thank you, Ross, for the text.

Let's go to the text line.

Where we've got Tom from New Berlin says you Pete.

Oh Wow, I thought Tom and I were friends.

He doesn't want to share DNA with me You know what Tom I've had about enough of your beep I'm just kidding.

I don't blame you Tom.

Good text.

You do enough good work here Tom where I'm gonna let that one go Matt from Middleton says Gary Busey.

Oh man that face He's just crazy though is Gary Busey hateful or is he just crazy?

I know he's crazy.

He just looks crazy.

He looks crazy.

He's probably a good guy to party with.

You think?

If you got a ride home.

If he's not your ride.

Matt from Middleton elaborates and says, and crazy to boot.

Rob from Green Bay says, Sean Combs.

We've heard Sean already tonight.

Thank you very much, Rob.

Tyler from Wisconsin Rapids.

Wisconsin Rapids says, he's a little more discerning.

He says, rhymes with grump.

Oh, we hear you Tyler, another one for Trump.

Oh yes, he hates Forrest Gump.

Oh, why Tyler?

Bridget from the 818 says, Tom Cruise, the Scientology is something that would separate us.

I am not sure if he has a close relationship with Surrey because of it and that is not cool.

I don't know if any of that is true Bridget, but if it is, I agree with you.

Thank you Bridget from the 818.

I see we missed a call from Ali, that always makes me sad.

Melissa from Willy Street in Madison says, I'm gonna go there, Donald Trump.

You and a few other people tonight, Melissa.

I guess I opened this one up for honest answers tonight.

John, Melissa's fella from Madison says, Danny Bonaducci from the Partridge family.

Peter, I waited his table for lunch at the signature room, 105th floor of the Hancock building in Chicago in 1992.

He was nice, then psychotic, and his mother and aunt were not impressed.

I was amused mostly, but he was all over the place, and it was concerning.

I've heard that about him, John, and I'm sorry you had that experience.

But it helps our show, so I'm happy

you did.

Peach Wild by Nightlight coming right back.

All right, folks.

Is there a happier day than Friday?

Seriously.

I mean, I love Saturday, but it's the looking forward to.

Yeah.

I'm really excited.

I was going to go see Nobody 2 after the show tonight, but they had no showtimes at the East one.

And I didn't feel like driving down to the

Schwab.

Nothing late?

Yeah, the latest was starting at 7.

I mean, I could that's so lame seven o'clock on a weekend.

So tomorrow I'm going to go to nobody to I'm hoping that's gonna be better than the first one.

I enjoyed the first one.

Yeah, I was hoping that's the Sox off, you

know, hope it takes it to another level Yeah, I'm gonna see the Spike Lee film this weekend.

That is my plan anyway We have Our question tonight is what?

Famous person or celebrity, are you happy you're not related to?

We got another vote.

Me and Trump are killing it tonight.

You know, I'm going to change mine to Peach

Wava too.

Well, Chad Fran says Peach Wava.

Oh, Chad just made his last appearance on Nightlight.

I'm kidding, Chad.

And what else?

We had another one here.

I don't want to miss this one.

Yeah, Jim from Appleton just said Hulk Hogan.

Oh,

he's another one.

What a...

not Hulk Hogan, not Jim.

Yeah, all the stuff that came out about him, I can't, I can't say I'm not a Hulk

Hogan

fan.

That's a great choice, Jim.

And then 6-0-8 just said, Steve.

I think he's talking about my dad.

He doesn't

want to be related to

Steve, whoever that is.

So me and Trump are in a tie for first place tonight.

That's exciting.

So, all right, we talked about Superman.

We did that.

I am so excited.

I'm going to see the Spike Lee movie and I'm going to watch Alien Earth.

The first two episodes are available.

Folks, coming up in just a few minutes, Rocker will be here filling in for Terry Barr on Bar Band Friday.

They are co-hosts on Max Inc Radio.

They do great work together and Rocker has filled in for Terry before and we really don't miss a beat.

He's just great and he knows music just like Terry does, especially local music.

Mark, oh, here's another one, Conrad.

We have another, someone in the competition.

Mark from Prairie to Sax says, glad I met related to Danny Masterson.

He was kind of an A-hole in character on that 70's show.

He really was, you know.

He stole

a couple girlfriends.

Oh, before any of the, like, sexual

ones.

Well, in that 70's show.

Yeah, yeah.

No, in that 70's show.

So his character.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah,

okay.

I never really knew what he did behind the scenes in that 70's show, but I...

But I'm guessing it's not good.

Yeah, I don't think so.

So we just found out, we got to figure out, we got to get a hold of Norm Kepesky at Appleton Cigar,

because

they're having a beard competition I want in.

I want to know what's going on.

You got a ways to go, but you're further along than me.

So we gotta get ahold of Norm and talk about his beard competition.

I think that's a beautiful thing.

Right now, before we get to Rocker and Barbie on Friday, I found this clip.

I just love this.

I don't know the podcast, but it's, where is it?

It should sit right here.

It's Chris Kale?

It's a Beardo and Weirdo podcast.

That's all I know.

I don't know who the host is, but this is a great clip.

of this guy telling a story about Brian Wilson and Don Henley.

Don Henley apparently was a big fan of Brian Wilson.

And I think that's kind of all you need to know for this great clip.

Don Henley, apparently huge Beach Boys fan.

Pet Sounds was the first album he ever bought.

Brian Wilson is coming to Los Angeles to do an art exhibit.

Don Henley walks into this art exhibit, walks right up to Brian Wilson and goes, Brian, Don Henley, Eagles.

And Brian goes, oh, hey, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Sure.

Sure.

How are you doing?

How are you doing?

And they're talking for a few minutes and Don realizes this isn't going anywhere.

So he goes, do you mind?

This is the first album I ever purchased.

Do you mind signing?

He goes, sure.

Yeah, sure.

Oh, you got something I can sign it with.

And he hands him the album, hands him the Sharpie.

And Brian Wilson looks at Don Henley.

He has the album, and he writes to Don.

Looks at him again.

Thank you for all the great music.

And then he slows down.

looks at Don Henley, scratches out the word great and writes good.

And then signs his name as a witness who saw it happen.

And another friend of mine who played in Don's band said, I've seen it.

I've seen it.

It's framed in Don Henley's house.

Rest in peace to Brian Wilson, whose influence goes all the way down to Paul Bearer.

That is so great.

Right in front of him crosses out great and puts good.

Love that story mark from Prairie to sack.

He's in the 6080 else's and that was before the more recent revelations I don't like anyone who prays on people totally with you mark and I assume that's what you meant when you said Danny Masterson so Mark Mark had enough just with Danny's character.

I can't even imagine The fall from grace

Danny

Masterson took in Mark's eyes after those revelations.

I also I found this con.

I thought it was kind of cool 13 is from up north news

Pat Kratlow's operation, 13 famous people who are buried in Wisconsin.

Do you know anybody who is?

You do know one.

Frank Lloyd Wright.

Frank Lloyd Wright is a good one, yep, in spring green.

Chris Farley.

Chris Farley is another one, well done.

I

didn't look at the shoot, I'm actually trying

to

guess.

Okay, there's another one, a big one that you'll, if you think hard enough, you'll guess.

And it was semi, well, it was recent.

Oh, it was recent?

Yeah.

You know this guy.

Oh, Bob

Huker.

I mean, that's not a surprise, but I was surprised he was on the list.

Here's one I didn't know.

Nicholas Ray is buried at Oak Grove Cemetery in La Crosse.

He was a filmmaker.

He directed Rebel Without.

He directed They Live by Night, and then he also directed Rebel Without a Cause.

Which he wrote the story for actually I'm not 100% certain if he directed it, but he wrote the story for it.

I'm gonna pull this up right now and Let you know it's always fun I'll have to look after the break, but I thought that was kind of cool Nicholas Ray Director rebel without a cause directed James Dean the other one Eston Hemings Jefferson one of Thomas Jefferson's children that he fathered with a freed slave moved to Madison

Interesting.

With his family in 1852, he is and his wife both integrated into the city's white community as he worked as a cabinet maker.

Isn't that crazy?

Thomas Jefferson's kid, a cabinet maker in Madison.

He's deceased now.

All right.

It is a Bar Band Friday night, folks.

Let us know if there's a celebrity you did not want to be related to.

Trump and I are off the list.

Someone else, please.

That's outstanding.

Well, I'm glad to hear that and you know, I haven't talked to you I did my show down there for a week and I was gonna go to Atwood Fest to get some sound bites, but

it was

raining How did that turn out?

I mean, that's your baby, right?

Wow

Well, you know, yes, uh, yes, I suppose that that would be one way to characterize it.

Um, but I would say that the rain happened like literally in kind of the first, you know, half hour, right?

Like before the fast opened and then really kind of opened, you know, the first band went on stage and the rain stopped and that was it.

No more rain.

Here's

the, here's the problem.

We did get some heat, but everybody brave that

if I had stayed.

And to see if the rain would have gone away, it would not have

gone away.

And I would have sat

there for four hours.

Oh, no.

So it was good that I left.

I clout

over your head.

Yeah, exactly.

It went a three-hour drive, too.

But hey, it's great to have you.

I'm excited to see what you brought us because you always bring great stuff, Rocker.

What is on your mind tonight in regard to cool local music?

You know, I'm looking through August coming up and there's a lot of stuff happening in some festivals, some really good gigs.

Tonight actually kicks off Shanks Corners Block Party.

That's really a favorite street fest here in Madison.

It happens right at the corner of Winnebago and Atwood Avenue.

It just kind of right by where Atwood Fest happens actually.

It's tonight and tomorrow 1980 at Wood Avenue on Madison's East Side.

It's right by the Alchemy Cafe Ideal Bar, Lake Ridge Bank area.

Yeah.

And some of the highlights are tonight, seesaw, loose shields and Nuggernaut.

And then also tomorrow work

Salty dogs, jazz hams.

But I thought I'd bring in a song from a band.

I love these guys work.

They're a six piece funk fusion band from Madison.

They're formed in 2016 and they've won so many awards.

I couldn't even start to name them all.

And I brought this song called dealing with the devil.

And this is work.

Awesome.

to get you out of that door no man left on the floor cause the pride and the sin that we knew you had tried again but it made you mad kicked and shouted but it wouldn't break tried to change but it didn't take

They started still, they don't care.

Cause you're dealing with the devil and the devil knows.

You're dealing with the devil and the devil knows.

And just to let your listeners know, that's work spelled W U R K. If you're going to search them online

and they'll be at the, uh, they're at the alchemy cafe.

Is that right?

Or

that is at the shanks corner block party.

And that's going to be on Saturday.

So there'll be a Saturday afternoon sometime.

Outstanding.

Hey, have you ever heard of a band called Horace Green?

Yes, we had them actually at Atwood Fest, not this year, but the year before.

They did say that.

That's right.

We had them in the studio last night.

Man, those guys were fun.

Oh, amazing.

Great

Okay.

So who do we have next here?

Let's see Ross Thorn.

Ross Thorn, he's from Duluth, Minnesota.

He's a folk Americana singer-songwriter and he's teamed up with the Spine Steelers.

They're from Madison.

They're a folk Americana kind of duo here in Sun Prairie in Madison.

And we've had them on Max and Grady on the past and they're touring together.

And right now they're on the far away tour and they've been through Colorado, the Pacific Northwest, and they're coming back to Madison.

Friday, August 22nd at the High Noon Saloon, and then they're off to Milwaukee at the Falcon Bowl on the 23rd of August.

Far away is Ross Lorne on background vocals in Banjo, Clark Singleton on bass.

Jacob Mahon on acoustic guitar and then Kate Ruland and Emma O'Shea on vocals and they are the spine stealers.

So they recorded this at Peckarderm Studios in Cannon Falls.

This is brand new.

We've got it for you tonight.

This is Ross Thorne featuring the spine stealers from the new album.

This is called Far

Away.

Far from the city that's been holding me down Somewhere far across the sea Far away, far away Pray that my dreams might carry me Without heavy heart I could make brand new storm Somewhere far across the sea

I

love Americana folk.

That's so great.

I love the banjo.

Yeah, that's Ross Thorn.

So, you know, he, he paired up with the spine Steelers.

from down here in Madison, they're touring around and now they're coming home back to Wisconsin.

So that's a, a brand new song.

That's kind of a collaboration between the two.

So that's pretty cool.

It's like right out of the soundtrack of a, Oh brother, we're art thou.

It sounded a little bit.

That's great.

Maybe.

Yeah.

All right.

Dogtown hollow.

They are playing Friday, August 22nd at the Baroque on Winnebago on Madison's East side.

They're going to be playing with the also Rans.

And Dogtown Hollow just put out a new sophomore EP.

It's called Watch Your Step.

They recorded it at DNA Music Labs here in Madison.

It's kind of a country funk, this brand new Dogtown Hollow playing at the borough.

August 22nd, this song is called Seven

Sisters.

The moon and stars above will guide Shadows on the midnight ice Trees are talking and you feel alive

I gotta

tell you, I am not a huge country music fan, but the way all these genres kind of fuse together lately, that sounds fantastic.

They are good, huh?

Yeah, I mean, I don't know.

I mean, maybe they put down country funk, but

You know, it's like Americana.

Yeah.

It's bluesy.

It's even a little poppy at times.

Totally.

That's great.

Rocker is my guest.

He's filling in for Terry Bartonite here on Barbie on Friday night.

You can catch his show Max Inc Radio from 6 to 9 p.m.

We're talking about Wisconsin music and he is the guy to talk to.

Um, mad trucker gone mad.

Is that the name of the band rocker?

Is that

a

song?

It

is.

I love

that.

Oh, mad trucker gone mad.

Some good friends of mine.

They, uh, came out, uh, during the mid to late nineties and they were, uh, quite popular, kind of a punk band, little, little kind of on the front end of cow punk, actually, you know, if you

think

about it and, uh, they don't play often anymore.

That is for sure.

But there's some stuff going on with cross station records.

Their record labels turn in 30.

So they're, they're going to get out and they're

going

to do a show.

It's going to be the only Wisconsin show or the only show for Mad Trucker gone mad this year.

And it's going to be a club Garibaldi in Bayview in Milwaukee on August 24th.

And they're going to be with sad laser and front of truck.

And so are you ready for some, uh, some cow punk?

Yeah, I love the name of this song too.

Played

on me.

The name of this song is called She Don't Like Me When I'm Drunk.

This is Mad Trucker Gone Mad.

She don't like me when I'm drunk and I can't stand her when I'm sober.

The headache that she's giving me is worse than my hangover.

Every girl that guy has ever dated is gonna wonder if she's the

inspiration for that

song.

It sounds like

a John

Prine song title, and then when you hear it, it's like, oh no, that's definitely different.

That's great.

Yeah, it's pretty funny.

Mad Trucker gone mad.

That was from 2016, by the way, and such a little bit of a throwback.

They will be at Club Caribaldi in Milwaukee, August 24th, the only Wisconsin show.

Don't miss it.

Love it.

That's great.

Middleton, good neighbor festival.

You heard of that?

They have a Kickstarter for the new album that's coming in October and frontman Eric Jelland.

Uh, he's making a comeback after surgery for potentially fatal brain condition he had.

And the new album, cosmic hit and run draws from the wreckage of those life altering experiences and reshapes them into something resonant.

and unflinching, and we have a song from that.
