I love surprises…
Thanks to a very good friend of mine, The Best Thing Ever (i.e., “a punk band”) added Click Radio to their Surprise Tour. They were fun, and I like Martin Luther King and cellos, so I’ll forgive the fact that very short notice does not a surprise make.
Sometime during their stint in New Brunswick, I quote Lucille Ball, Noah’s navel makes a fuzzy appearance, AND they play Got MLK and Walter’s Regrets for us.
And I don’t hit on Jen, I think.
This interview has been in the making for a long time. Justin’s good friend, James J. Nemeth, the poet laureate of New Brunswick, discusses his method, his past, and his religious beliefs in addition to reading selections of of his work on air.
Please consider this a rough cut.
