So excited to have my former bandmate from Resident Genius on this episode! Jason Perry (born 1973), explains how being the only person of color in his community lead him to music as a way of combating isolation, how he helped carry an almost dying music scene into a thriving scene that is still going strong today, almost 20 years later.

GenXer Joe Lanning and I sit down and reminisce about growing up in Yucca Valley/Joshua Tree and why we left as soon as we could, share our love for living in different states, and discuss his experience with history in his undergrad and postgrad academic studies to take a look at events of today along with some Monty Python. This was recorded a few days after the events that occurred at the capitol building in Washington D.C., the capital of the United States.

Co-creator of the website X Generation Now, Micheal, chats with me about Boomers, Millennials and GenZ, discovering a connection with music in the back of a station wagon, the early days of the music scene in Austin, and how we "latch key kids" were made for lock down. This episode shows we are not just the 1980s and that a lot of us have walked a different path from generations before us. Be sure to check out his website, too, for all things GenX in the form of blogs, videos and just fun posts.
