This week's, my guest is Thomas Erak of the post hardcore band, The Fall of Troy. What better guest to give to you, my listeners, for this week's show, right? It's rare that I get to talk to a real rock star.... what I mean by this is the fact that having a discussion with a very popular musician is usually loaded to the gills with banter about road life, rehearsals, sex, drugs, etc.... those things you always hear when they do any public interviews. It might be salacious, but you've heard it before and you can find it on Wikipedia as well. I was blessed to have a real discussion with the real guy, and nothing to get in the way of clarity, focus, and transparency.  

Again, as I said above, it's so rare. Thomas gave me 2 hours of direct connection, talking about the difficulties of family, relationships, artistry, comedy and love.... yes, love. I hope you enjoy this priceless conversation and discover the artist beneath the veneer of stardom.  Thomas is mesmerizing.
