<p>On March 1st 1985 I decided to become an interviewer because a one-hour conversation I had with Leonard Cohen, one of my life-long heroes, left me feeling transcendent. So much so that I felt I had to track down more of my music heroes to talk with. Apart from Elvis and Sinatra, I pretty much interviewed them all! I learned many a lesson, good and bad, from those conversations. In this series of podcasts, I hope to pass on to listeners some of the lessons I learned.  Enjoy. </p>
