James O'Brien is one of the best interviewers I've ever had the pleasure of talking to.

You can find lots of other interviews James has done with other artists (including a number of my friends) by looking for All Your Days on any of the usual podcasting platforms, such as Apple Podcasts.

One of the things I got to do while I was on the east coast last week was spend some time with Al Glatkowski. In March of 1970 he and fellow merchant marine Clyde McKay led a mutiny aboard the SS Columbia Eagle, in an effort to prevent a massive delivery of napalm bombs from reaching the port of Saigon, where the US Air Force would be loading it onto planes in order to drop on Vietnamese villages. I wrote this song over the course of a couple days after I got home from the trip.
