When Sascha Gerstner came on my show this past summer we spent a good chunk of our interview talking about how Japan is one of the most unique countries in the world. Especially the camera stores!

For those that dont know, most of the vintage camera gear *I* comes from a vendor or store in Japan.

I was recently blocked by a musician I have known and supported for almost 30 years without any explanation. However although while as a person they are a coward for doing what they did and the refused to tell me “why”. The irony is this person will complain about other people doing the exact same thing to them. Their new album is absolutely brilliant and its going to be an album of the year candidate.....and it’s a reminder of how easy it is for me to separate the art from the person themselves.

Keep in mind, your favorite artists as people can be a huge disappointment with you if you meet them in a case of this individual with everything I had done for them back in the day. It was actually quite shocking and it really told me how much they lack real character as an individual.

I will always give somebody a fair review good or bad even if as a person I think they are a lousy human. It’s one thing I’ve always done here.

In the case of this individual, their music is still amazing but as a person…in the words of Tony Soprano: “He’s dead to me now”

This is actually how I’ve always been in regards to the show.

Revisiting this album today and I forgot just how much the song “Disciples of the Watch “ rules!
