The Matt Mani Podcast Episode 43: My Sweet Lord, Partying In China, and My Creative Renaissance

The Matt Mani Podcast Episode 43: My Sweet Lord, Partying In China, and My Creative Renaissance. In this episode I use George Harrison’s song My Sweet Lord as a launch pad to discuss how art can help us cope with loss. I discuss the incredible miracle and beauty of the human senses. I marvel at how a song, image, or special meal can unleash a wave of emotions and memory so powerful that it can alter your current state of reality. I sip a Heineken and allow the taste to unlock the door to reminiscing about my time teaching English and partying in Shanghai China…. I parlay this nostalgia into discussing the whacky and wild world of fake alcohol and knock off booze in China. For some inexplicable reason I lay into Richard Feynman and extol the work of Carl Sagan calling him, “the white Neil deGrasse Tyson”. Somewhere along the lines I get around to discussing the work of Takehiko Inoue, the larger world of Manga and Mangaka, and my recent creative renaissance.
