Sully's solution to all of the issues discussed with Beck that face this country and others is for people to stop financially supporting corporations that control Washington- "Our greatest weapon is to do with less and not give our hard earn money to people with private agendas that are destructive to the earth, our human rights, and our minds and bodies".  If lobby firms such as Venn Strategies c...

Paraphrasing Gil Scott Heron's classic, "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" this episode will not give your mouth sex appeal, it will not make you look five pounds lighter, it will not go better with coke , but it will put you in the drivers seat (or at least Dr. May will let you sit shot gun) in a musical car that takes you on a tour of a racially divided city unified by it's love of music. Th...

Where does it all start?  Sully believes it begins with "the dangers of government."  The abuse of power, fear mongering, paranoia, deception and cover ups- that's where it , starts.   It , has a consequence. People begin to pay attention, begin to doubt and question the motives of their government.  When "the people" begin to act and demand accountability and transparency, people in power start t...

 "...there is a danger in the show because the band is on the brink" is Sully's line toward the end of episode 5.  The discussion is the immediacy and the danger of frontmen like Iggy Pop , Jim Morrison , and Axl Rose creating an unpredictability for both their audience and their aforementioned bands.  While choreographed and practiced shows like U2 , Marilyn Manson , and Nine Inch Nails provide a...

In this first episode of a two part interview the great debate proposed by Jeffery Lewis in episodes 2 and 3, that "PUNK music is white music minus the blues" continues.  Sully and Jason also jump around from post-punk to new wave to hair metal and back again.  Bands such as Mission of Burma , Elbow , and Minor Threat are talked about and played along side such groups as EXTREME , Bjork , and Suic...

In the second half of the interview with Freak Folk / Punk Artist Jeffrey Lewis Sully continues a deep dive into being a comic book artist, discovering Daniel Johnston and Jeff's evolution into becoming a musician while distilling down blues and folk music in order to figure out what makes punk music “punk”. Jeffrey is one of the most original songwriters Sully has come across in the last decade,...

Sully discovers Jeffrey Lewis' song Complete History Of Punk Rock  sending him down the rabbit hole of listening to all of Jeffrey's music from the album The Last Time I Did Acid I Went Insane to his new release Bad Wiring .  Enthralled by Jeffrey's musical and lyrical sensibilities, as well as his underground comic book FUFF , Sully reaches out to talk about the origins of the punk ethos from 196...

Sully talks about punk music not as a genre but as a lifestyle.  A movement toward original thought and creativity fueled by a Do-it-yourself attitude.  At almost 50 years old Sully is extremely candid about his failures and successes as a songwriter, tennis pro, and father of three.  He struggles paycheck to paycheck to make ends meat yet still finds the time to write songs and be creative.  Much...

Sully is one of the songwriters and singers for Theft To The Gallows. He believes in living a "punk" lifestyle where a person follows their muse more than their money.  Following his muse he sometimes grabs a camera and will make the show LIVE from my dead mothers TAURUS!   He also helps run and operate REB Records with his songwriting partner Ryan Black (aka Blizzle from Black's Backbone ), an in...
