Chip Kinman is a punk rock icon whose astoundingly versatile career is still going strong nearly fifty years later. The Dils, formed with his late brother Tony made an impact in the first wave of 1970’s California punk bands before abruptly switching gears to pioneer cowpunk with Rank And File with Alejandro Escovedo... before moving on to the industrial drone of Blackbird. These bands were followed up by Cowboy Nation and more recently, the bluesy Ford Madox Ford. In this episode, Chip and longtime pal hostess Pleasant Gehman  swap anecdotes about the mid-to-late ‘70’s scene in LA and San Francisco, and share wild touring stories. Among many other things, Chip recounts a long-ago night of passion with a famous female musician and reveals his latest solo recording project.
