Beginning of Episode (1:05).
This edition of the Conversation Pieces series is the most ambitious and personal thing I've ever done. It almost felt a bit too close to home to put out publicly, but honestly... creating this was truly a prime example of that 'writing = therapy' trope.
Leather Blvd. is an album that soundtracked the happiest time of my entire life. This record was chalk full of musical brilliance. But more importantly, Leather Blvd was so impactful to me, due to it’s raw expression of romance.
Through the lens of a recent event in my personal life, I explore the bountiful emotional richness of this album, and how music is so intrinsically intertwined with real emotions, memories, experiences that we have.
I already thought that Leather Blvd. was a personal classic to me. But after the other night, it holds an even more special place in my heart, because it truly helped me heal in a time of need.
This is the last bonus episode for a little while. Strap in for an onslaught of big guests coming on the show in the next two months….
