Meg Remy from U.S. Girls makes her sixth appearance on this show to discuss Scratch It, her twin boys’ interest in sports, the influence that John Carey’s book Eyewitness To History had on her latest songs, remembering her late friend Riley Gale of the band Power Trip and reflecting upon death, celebrating and working with the great Toronto songwriter Alex Lukashevsky, the xenophobic trap that Donald Trump has set and avoiding the shaming that nationalism inspires, not meeting Patti Smith at a show they both played, a Nashville adventure featuring the legendary Charlie McCoy, the song and video for “Bookends,” writing new songs, touring, other future plans, and much more.
