Ep. 5: Come Rain or Come Shine with Robert Lopez
Thanks for listening. I'm your host, Krissy Teegerstrom, and I'm an artist and a designer. Please find me and support my art at www.FeatherweightStudio.com. Episode notes: From Seattle, WA, we go beyond and back with musician and entertainer Robert Lopez. Perhaps best known as El Vez, the Mexican Elvis, Lopez is a lifelong creator, starting in his teenage years in the Los Angeles punk scene and continuing to make art today with his latest creation, Mr. Bob and The Unhappy Hour. He is a singer, songwriter, actor, a sincere trickster. He'll make you laugh and cry. He’s calculated and spontaneous, regal, radical, and subversive, his personal is always political. He is many things at the same time. This conversation rattled me and I spent a lot of time reflecting on it. I invite you to listen for yourself, please forgive if I am more clumsy than usual, and at the end I’d like to share with you what I’ve learned. I talked with Robert Lopez in the kitchen of his beautiful Seattle home.
