Robyn Hitchcock (Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians, The Soft Boys)
We're joined by the legendary British singer/songwriter Robyn Hitchcock, frontman for late 1970s art punk band, The Soft Boys, and the leader of his own band, Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians. Crucial matters discussed include: transitioning from frontman of a punk band to leader of of his own project to traveling acoustic troubadour over the course of his career; opening for R.E.M. on tour during their explosion into megastardom; the artistic perils of a "major label record deal"; working with the late director, Jonathan Demme, on the performance film, Storefront Hitchcock; the glory days of American college radio; and so much more.
