Interview with Glen David Andrews

Several weeks ago, I brushed up against a force of nature and what a wild time it was.  I recently had the opportunity to speak with Glen David Andrews by phone about Treme and his participation in it.  I had set up an “interview,” but it seems that one doesn’t interview Glen.  You put on your seat belt and hold on tight as he talks music, performing, his neighborhood, his city, and everything in between.  It turns out that I was not able to record our conversation due to the fact that it degraded the call. “You sound like you’re in Ver-MONT!” said Glen. Here are my notes, with actual quotes when I could jot them down.

Episode 18 "Can I Change My Mind"

It all comes out in the open.  Catharsis is the release of pent up emotion, and this episode provides that in a number of the storylines-from Toni and Sofia, to Antoine and Desiree, to Annie and Harley, and most importantly to LaDonna and Larry.  This is not to say that after the initial release there won’t be ripple effects, but now it’s all out there.  Written by James Yoshimura.
