Just watched a lovely & hilarious conversation between Fred Smith and Steve Poltz, at the National Folk Festival in Canberra (Australia).
they discuss childhood, songwriting, empathy, the importance of creativity and making mistakes, and so much more.
Then of course, Steve sings a song.

In memory of Fred Smith, the original bassist of Blondie and, far more famously, the bassist of Television after Richard Hell left the band, who would have turned 78 today.
