Tokyo, Japan
Guests: Yukiko Akigawa, Gaku Torii, Maki Fujimoto

I made my first trip to the Far East this weekend to participate in an event at the Tokyo Hipster Club centered on 1968, the MC-5 and the revolutionary movement in America, where I was interviewed on stage by the Japanese journalist & musician Gaku Torii with brilliant spontaneous translations from American into Japanese by Yuske in front of a full house of receptive, curious and responsive music lovers, mostly in their 20s and 30s, who paid close attention to our conversation throughout the 2-hour presentation. Before the show I sat with my friend Yukiko Akigawa, my THC host Maki Fujimoto, Yuske and Gaku to conduct an episode of the radio show in Tokyo, with music by the Wild Magnolias with Japanese guitarist June Yamagishi, Miles Davis, two selections by Gaku’s band Loaded from its new album Pull the Trigger, and John Sinclair with Wayne Kramer & the Lexington Arts Ensemble “live” in Los Angeles, plus a passage from a conversation with Wayne Kramer I had recorded at the City Inn in London the previous Sunday afternoon.
