Let's Talk Ten

EP. #60 – A CONVERSATION with JOHN ASHTON of the Psychedelic Furs

DAN FISHER

JOHN ASHTON, former guitarist and songwriter for the legendary PSYCHEDELIC FURS (“Love My Way”, “Pretty in Pink”) is on the show, to talk about his life in music, the people he’s met along the way -- and especially the music that influenced him and made everything possible.

 Dan mostly listens, as John talks about The Beatles, Bowie, ACDC, Lou Reed, touring with the Talking Heads and Echo and the Bunnymen – and how a terrible auto accident would lead him to first encounter the Sex Pistols, which would alter the course of his life. 

 It’s a surprisingly sweet and occasionally downright revelatory conversation between friends, both of whom happen to adore all genres of rock and roll, and love to talk about it.  

 It’s a hell of a story – with a killer soundtrack.
