Interview with Beck Burchett
June 08, 2020 14:42 - 1 hour - 107 MBSully's solution to all of the issues discussed with Beck that face this country and others is for people to stop financially supporting corporations that control Washington- "Our greatest weapon is to do with less and not give our hard earn money to people with private agendas that are destructive to the earth, our human rights, and our minds and bodies". If lobby firms such as Venn Strategies can push laws through congress for the right amount of money and support, what chance does the av...

Interview with John Flanagin (Part 2)
May 03, 2020 17:46 - 1 hour - 105 MBWhere does it all start? Sully believes it begins with "the dangers of government." The abuse of power, fear mongering, paranoia, deception and cover ups- that's where it, starts. It, has a consequence. People begin to pay attention, begin to doubt and question the motives of their government. When "the people" begin to act and demand accountability and transparency, people in power start to get caught. People like Joseph McCarthy and Richard Nixon. Movements and scenes emerge like the...

Interview with Jason Stanislaw (Part 2)
April 27, 2020 18:15 - 2 hours - 138 MB"...there is a danger in the show because the band is on the brink" is Sully's line toward the end of episode 5. The discussion is the immediacy and the danger of frontmen like Iggy Pop, Jim Morrison, and Axl Rose creating an unpredictability for both their audience and their aforementioned bands. While choreographed and practiced shows like U2, Marilyn Manson, and Nine Inch Nails provide a safe "arena" which plays out like performance art. Can virtuosity lend its' self to immediacy? Is...

Whether it be the rich complexness o...

Intro to WTP?! with Ryan Black
April 22, 2020 18:00 - 1 hour - 82 MBSully talks about punk music not as a genre but as a lifestyle. A movement toward original thought and creativity fueled by a Do-it-yourself attitude.

He struggles paycheck to paycheck to make ends meat yet still finds the time to write songs and be creative. Much in the vein of Andrew Savage's book, EVERY TOOL IS A HAMMER and Mihaly Czikszentmihalyi's pivot...
