Rock is Lit Vault: Warm-Up To Rex Weiner Interview—Pleasant Gehman Redux
I’m excited about interviewing Rex Weiner, author of ‘The (Original) Adventures of Ford Fairlane’, for an upcoming episode of Rock is Lit. Since half of Rex’s Ford Fairlane stories take place during the early ‘80s punk rock scene in LA, I thought it would be fun to revisit my chat with Pleasant Gehman about that period. This outtake from my interview with Pleasant is from Episode 4 of Rock is Lit, which features Janet Fitch’s novel ‘Paint It Black’, set during that time and place. Enjoy this Pleasant redux and get pumped for the upcoming EP of Rock is Lit with Rex Weiner.
