Zum Podcast Episode 15 John Benson ------------- "John Benson vs. The People of California" -------------Some technical glitches in my chat with John Trevor Benson, but that seems appropriate given our topics of discussion - the legacy of Free Radio Berkeley, Barrington co-op, pre-internet touring, having a Harley dad, being sober, fixing wheelchairs, and converting a former police bus into a venue. Benson was in the bands A Minor Forest, Tic War, Creepy Crawly Claw, Hale Zukas, and Evil Wikkid Warrior, a band with his daughter Quinn. He also has a solo tape coming out soon on Turned Word. Check out a video by Ryan Junell about the original bus, a story on the recent bus woes (not mentioned in the press anywhere - $5k plus in fines), and if you have ever enjoyed the weirdo performances enabled by John, donate directly to his paypal account - followthatparade AT yahoo DOT com.------------- THE INTIMA - Tundra'd - No Lullaby For Sleep (Zum) intro theme musicA MINOR FOREST - So Jesus Was At The Last Supper... -
