About this episode

Lou and Adelle interview Melissa Auf der Maur about her new memoir and discuss a pivotal moment in her life.

What's this? An interview? Why yes, it's a proper interview. How unusual for this RAWcast! Lou and Adelle have the pleasure of chatting with Melissa Auf der Maur about her new 90's rock memoir "Even the Good Girls Will Cry". As a tribute to this analog Queen, Lou does a cassette enhanced re-creation of a pivotal passage from the book: a fight between her friend Bruce (later of Godspeed You Black Emperor) and her 'grungefather' Billy Corgan. P.S. the book is great!
