WTF Podcast: David Crosby

David Crosby readily admits that he probably shouldn't be alive. Drug addiction, alcoholism and health issues have taken their toll but have not knocked David out. He's still making music and going out on tour, but he had a little time to talk with Marc about The Byrds, CSN, Neil Young, Jerry Garcia, Jimi Hendrix, Woodstock, Altamont, Melissa Etheridge, and much more
Thanks Stan

Steve Dillon R.I.P.

Just woke up to this sad news. 
Thirty years ago just as I was moving from Amsterdan to Melbourne my friend Scurvy Bastard (who as well as being best man at my wedding would go on to be immortalised as Si the Serial Killer in Preacher) put me in touch with Steve as he was looking for someone to letter his comics. Up until this point his dad had been doing it until he was stopped by a stroke. Unfortunately in those pre internet days logistically it was just impossible to organise. 
Rest easy Steve
