Elgin James from Righteous Jams, 454 Big Block, Wrecking Crew and the Co-Creator & Showrunner of FX's Mayans MC

What is the purpose of this of podcast if not to help Damian rekindle old friendships? Today on the show, Mayans M.C. co-creator and Righteous Jammer Elgins James comes to the show for one of the most fascinating episodes yet. Listen in as the two friends reconnect and discuss Elgin’s harrowing journey from homeless punk to working  Robert Redford and writing a hit tv show. From Molly Shannon’s New Wave connection, to roadieing/ following/ terrifying Henry Rollins on the Lifetime tour, to the deep sadness that is at the root of so much violence: THIS IS NOT TO BE MISSED.
