I've wanted to have Sin on my couch for my pajama party and it finally happened! His musical history is a fascinating journey that is ongoing and surprising. (15 years with Ministry!) I think he's the only guitarist I've known (besides Mr Zappa) who has never touched drink or drugs, which is true rebellion, right?

I'm beside myself to finally get this guy on my podcast! What a long and colorful music history ! I met Howard Kaylan when he and Mark Volman we're "Flo & Eddie" in the Mothers of Invention. Always a big fan of the Turtles, I was crazy about their voices, and one of my fave memories is when Howard had me stand on the side of the stage as they sang those gorgeous back-ups to Hungry Heart with Springsteen!. I'm definitely having him back for another round.

Here we go dolls!!
