Although Love never became a household name like some of its contemporaries, the band is certainly one of the most innovative and influential rock bands of all time (and one of Joe's favorites). Joe speaks to Michael Stuart about the 1960s LA rock scene; why he prefers not to listen to Love's classic albums; how heroin became a normal part of life; how he attained sobriety; life after Love; and why being a musician is central to his identity, even though he no longer plays professionally.
