Danger in the Past: An evening with Robert Forster

Redescovering the go-between a after a 15 year break. Amazing band/duo.

Anthony Elliott, this was nicely done. You were most receptive to Robert Forster's wavelengths, and you deftly guided the long interview through many meaningful sides of his life and career. You really helped us get to know the man. Kudos.

PMSL " I looked like my songs " Love the intensity of Robert

Really enjoyed his insights as well about the industry but when he mentions sequencing , it's almost surreal because it has almost become irrelevant now yet was a very important factor in the success and flow of a collection of songs rather than choosing to consume them separately or at will in playlists etc.....
