Life Harvester RadioJimmy Webb (I Need More)What is there to say about Jimmy Webb that hasn’t already been said in one of his countless profiles, anecdotes, eulogies? I figured it would be good to let Jimmy speak for himself. One thing that really stood out to me was Jimmy’s fond recollections of Studio 54 and the world of disco, lending some first person credence to something we knew all along—that punk and dance music communities have been linked on their margins by cool queers since both began. But that’s me. There’s so much more in this interview that’s worth hearing—from listening...
