The Mike Watt Interview: The WattFromPedro Show
For like a million years Mike Watt has been an Idol of mine. He's played in legendary bands like the Minutemen, Stooges and now MSSV. So when he asked to interview me on his podcast WattFromPedro, I was honored! In this interview he plays 11 Zpextre songs, several of them have never been released, and may never be. It was cool cuz he dug in pretty hard and I'm ready to talk.

The imagery of the song is reminiscent of a time I brought my 6 year old niece to a protest in San Francisco. On our way there, the bus door opens and so do the things in my backpack clanking around on the curb. I’m fumbling to get everything together as others wait patiently. All of the fussing was worth it as she slept on my shoulder and we explored life together. As we arrived at the protest, my social duty was clear. To preserve the path forward, so that innocence will shape the future. At that moment, I swore that my actions in life would be to build a better world for her. To be selfless. Not only is she trusting me for her safety, but that I am trusting her to preserve a future for generations. It will require more than algorithms and metrics. It will require trust, humanity and love.
