“Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we’ll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring.

Steve Wynn from The Dream Syndicate is our guest this week to kick off our fantastic fall season! The Dream Syndicate were part of Los Angeles’ “Paisley Underground” scene that also included folks like The Bangles and The Three O’Clock. Their debut album from 1982, "The Days of Wine and Roses," is considered a classic today, and kicked off a long career for Steve and the band. Steve has a new memoir that just came out, “I Wouldn’t Say It If It Wasn’t True” and a new solo record to go with it, “Make It Right.” On the episode, he shares with us a story about suddenly being thrust onto a much, much larger stage in the early days of the band.
