The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea, with Sam Mickens

Sam Mickens is a singer, guitarist, composer, and performance artist based in Los Angeles, whose powerful, idiosyncratic work brings together sweet soul, glam rock, classical music, comic books, and professional wrestling. His many projects include The Sam Mickens Ecstatic Showband & Revue, his '00s art-rock band, The Dead Science, the theater piece "Kayfabe: Game of Death", and his many recent solo records. Sam and I go deep here on one of our favorite books, Yukio Mishima's "The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea", grappling with death, glory, being a touring musician, capital punishment, The Great Cause, and working out your Seppuku muscles.   👉 Many thanks to my patrons!
