A few months ago, I came across an old box of CDRs, one which contained this rarely heard interview with Christopher Tucker and John Paul Travis from my old band, The Situation. This was originally broadcast on WVUD, the University of Delaware’s radio station, in 2002, a few days before we were scheduled to play their annual Radiothon benefit with Raccoon (who would later morph into Dr. Dog.) In classic Tucker form, Christopher managed to let a few expletives slip, which oddly sent the powers that be into a tizzy, and we ended being banned from the radio station shortly afterwards. Not quite the Pistols on Bill Grundy but hey, that’s Delaware for you. And for those wondering where Laz and I were, we did our interview with a different DJ the following day.
Anyway, being that today would have been Christopher’s 40th birthday, I’m throwing this out there for your listening pleasure. This brings back a ton of memories for sure. It’s good to hear your voice again, man – rest in peace, my friend.
And for you completists out there, you can also download the interview here: part 1. part 2.
Never forget.
