Happy Birthday, John Hiatt with Special Guest David Wild
Perfectly Good Podcast - John Hiatt from A to ZShow Notes
Over 30 years ago, Sylvan Groth found an episode of Rolling Stone at her local library and her life was forever changed for the better.
David Wild, writer, podcaster, music fan and mensch for the ages join Sylvan and Jesse Jackson on this very special episode. We look back on that article and talk about Wild's continued admiration of John Hiatt's songs.
It wouldn't be August 20th without Sylvan reminding you to donate to the John Hiatt Fund for Adolescent Recovery at Cumberland Heights. If you can make it to this year's benefit concert, which is a tribute to John Hiatt, we'd love to see you there! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
