E46 - Stephen Jay Morris: The Making of a Temperamental Artist

Stephen Jay Morris is one of the most enigmatic and creative friends. This first of a two-part episode is about music, art, poetry and growing up in 1960's Hollywood--a not so classical-glitzy experience for a kid who would grow up under its influence to embrace politics and co-found a punk rock band that once opened for Black Flag. With deep musical knowledge and appreciation across genres, he later went on to critique music and introduce listeners to the magic of "new" old music discoveries.
