Episode 160 - Keith Slettedahl

from Love Is The Author Hosted by Jaymee Carpenter

Keith Slettedahl is an American songwriter/musician and lead singer of the pop rock band The 88 who perform the opening theme to the Emmy Award winning sitcom Community. He's played with legendary artists like Ray Davies, Elliott Smith, Elvis Costello, The Zombies and The Flaming Lips, but what most people don't know about the charismatic frontman is that he's a spiritual giant posing as a householder, who's lived the past 24 years sober on a steady diet of "not knowing". Keith is mentor of Jaymee's, a close friend and music collaborator. The two gentlemen discuss the creative power of humility, the mechanism of mentorship, the miracle of 12 Step Recovery, playing Kinks songs with Ray Davies, and the unlikely book that not only cured his debilitating back pain, but ushered in a revolution of the mind.
