Sunny War, ep. 70

from Basic Folk · host The Bluegrass Situation

Sunny War has a cool finger picking style and a singing voice that matches her persona: whimsical, yet strong. Sunny's probably the bravest person I have ever talked to in my life. She's been through the ringer of life: living a nomadic life with her mom, surviving abuse, suffering from addiction, getting arrested, leaving home, living on the streets, hopping trains and getting clean all before she was 25. Music has been ever-present in her life. She learned to finger pick guitar by listening to The Beatles "Blackbird." At 13 years old, she joined a punk band, which started a long complicated relationship with the punk lifestyle.These days, Sunny's living in Los Angeles and surviving the quarantine just fine. In talking to her, I checked in with how she's doing dealing with lockdown. I was glad to hear she was staying away from alcohol and had just started eating a Keto diet. Sunny War is full of surprises! I literally did not know what to expect as I asked each question. Thanks to Sunny for talking to me!

In the film, she asks how it is possible that so many workers at Disneyland, aka “the happiest place on earth,” can’t afford life's basic necessities, even when they work full time. For the fourth season of All Ears, Abigail poses that question to people who are doing the most Disney thing of all–using their imaginations–in this case to rethink capitalism. She talks with business leaders, union organizers, and economists to learn how they would fix our broken economy. Explicit
