Jim Ellerymeyer is joined by singer/songwriter John Cihon as they conclude their conversation this week. We talk about choosing to fixate one parts of the world, focusing on other’s failings against our own, what he chooses to do every day to influence his life, and romanticizing what could have been with things in his life that never came to be, exploring the cause of what brings one to addictive behavior, and talks about bonding with Perry Farrell over shared testicular cancer diagnosis and why he’s playing “Tahitian Moon” by Porno for Pyros.
