Episode 16: Trouble Boys, The I Don't Cares, and Leonard Cohen

During my hiatus, I finished reading Bob Mehr’s book on the Replacements, Trouble Boys.  Considering they are my favorite band, I read this book with both excitement and trepidation.  Will my heroes live up to the legends I have in my hand?  I also discuss Wild Stab by The I Don’t Cares which is new band featuring Paul Westerberg and Juliana Hatfield.  Finally, I discuss how I came to love Leonard Cohen.

I'm a husband to a woman who is nerdier than I am, and a father to a near perfect child. I am one of the main authors for this website, plus I handle most of the technical aspects (web design, editing podcasts, and videos, etc.) During the day, I'm a Computer Science and African American Studies Teacher. Most of my free time I'm listening to music or podcasts and watching soccer. I love Star Wars and Star Trek equally. I'm a horrible gamer yet I game. You can reach me at nolanerdcouple@gmail.com
