The legendary Vernon Reid came on the podcast yesterday (or actually we came and interviewed him at The Met in NYC) not only is Vernon one of the greatest guitarists of all time but he is a total original in the way that he thinks and expresses himself in a variety of topics regarding culture and beyond. I love following him on twitter and seeing his exchange with the people who follow him. Vernon was actually the first guest we tried to get on the podcast. I met Vernon when I first got signed to Real World back in the mid 90’s. He was there at the beginning of my recording career and so I wanted him to be at the beginning of this podcasting venture as well. We talked about everything. Freedom of speech, the joker, guitar pedals, blue tooth headphones, getting chipped, Jaco, Basquiat, New York in the 80’s ,The Black Rock Coalition and of course Living Colour, his seminal band that exploded on the scene in the late 80’s. Look forward to this one. In my opinion Vernon is a genius. And the way he expresses himself is like his guitar playing. A very interesting ride. Episode coming mid September #podcast #cometowhereimfrom #vernonreid #livingcolour #josepharthur

[@jay_sun_michael]

Vernon definitely needs his own podcast. Great conversation!

[@mikecostello6422]

Great great stuff. Vernon is such a fascinating guy. I love listening to him talk as much as I love his playing and writing.

[@rogelioserratos8526]

Why does Vernon not have a podcast?! Very entertaining.

[@zeruchofficial]

He did for a while. He, along with W. Kamau Bell www.podbean.com/podcast-detail/7spn8-4af0b/The-Field-Negro-Guide-to-Arts-and-Culture-w-Vernon-Reid-and-W.-Kamau-Bell-Podcast

VR is just the deepest, smartest dude I know. Great chat you two had here.

[@merrittjacob5454]

can't wait to listen. his Rig Rundown is ridiculously sick / very forward thinking.

[@ericgenestvideoclips]

I was waiting for Vernon to mention Sonic Youth, during the part about CBGBs. Living Colour and SY are my favorite bands and I always wondered if Vernon liked SY.

This dude rules!a true original ! Plus a super intelligent guy I think the exact same thoughts literally! If we were in a simulation what's the purpose of snot or why would we breathe and eat with the same pipe that could kill us and stuff like something has to die for me to live another day those are the problems I have with intelligent design or God sadly , because I believe in christ but also admit I don't know...man I would love to put some shrooms down with Vernon

[@buyaka2944]

Oh Jeebus.

[@mysterio1570]

VR looks so young. Looks mid 40's.

[@jayham____fromgeorgia]

brilliant interview.. but, now my head hurts jk

[@ericgenestvideoclips]

It saddens me to hear Vernon talk about transhumanism like it's a mere technological step.
