Got to wax about Cream's Wheels of Fire on @JoshAdamMeyers 500 album podcast. Tom Dowd, Robert Johnson, Beck, Page, Hendrix... are all part of the story. Plus the Vox Clyde McCoy Wha-Wha pedal.
If I only I could retain half the knowledge about either comedy or music that ⁦@Federman⁩ has at his fingertips. I like the variety of guests, but the @500podcast could be just ⁦@JoshAdamMeyers⁩ & Wayne Federman every week & I’d be fine. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcas…

Been pouring through this wonderful new book. Written by a comedy nerd. It’s informative, funny, very opinionated, and deeply thoughtful. Ever ponder the difference between “getting laughs” vs. “giving laughs”? Jesse David Fox has.
Comedy Book is out today! I put my entire heart and brain into it. I hope you check it out and, if you do, I hope you enjoy it. Thank you ♥️ us.macmillan.com/books/97803…
