Justin hid a camera in a flower pot and sat down with Ryan to see what he thought of it. This episode reference our original 1970 conversation a few times.

  • Tattoo You, featuring Andy Cush
    Mar 30 2021
    In this bonus episode Justin and Ryan talk to Andy Cush (@cushac) of Pitchfork and the Late Era podcast, which looks at albums released by gigantic bands and artists in the late, often bad, sometimes good, almost always amusing, parts of their career. It’s a complimentary piece to our finale episode, which went deep on Some Girls but probably deserved a little more Tattoo You. Also covered: Santana's Supernatural and Aerosmith's Honkin' on Bobo.
