Mike Wilson of Harley Poe talks with Pepe about a wide range of topics like the Grateful Dead, joining Harley Poe & pissing for authority figures. There's plenty of talk about not wanting to work for someone else & the DIY spirit that makes this possible.

At the end of the show we play the previously unreleased track "The Night My Cat Went To The Moon" by Mike Wilson. Enjoy!
