Cooder and I share the left-eye-blind thing (I still have mine, but I've never been able to see out of it, so a lot of good it does me). Although he suffers no fools, he's one of the coolest, most straightforward, no BS artists I've ever interviewed.

Another priceless post.

Thank you! I’m sorry about your eye! Cooder is a complicated man; sometimes he gets impatient with people a little too quickly. I appeciate the compliment, but that was not, or I hope it wasn’t, a priceless post. If you haven’t, I’d really appreciate if you took out a paid subscription. I have a mere handful; people are getting used to getting good stuff for free.

May I modestly suggest taking out a paid subscribership to my Substack?

Really wish I could, Tony, and I admire that you asked. But I'm a fellow music writer on here also struggling to make some dosh and finding the return on time invested quite low. I've now had to look at it as something that I do to learn and enjoy rather than make needed income. I try to support people by liking, commenting, and posting to Notes. I'll do that with this post. I'm sorry I don't have the resources to do more.
