Subjects discussed: BP Fallon & His Bandits and why maybe you shouldn’t listen to them, his Wang Dang Doodle radio show, the link between rock’n'roll and fashion – and what rock’n'roll is. All this wrapped up in BP’s joyful and zestful attitude to life and living, in a most vibrant interview.

YouTube says “The sage-like rock’n'roll poet and the Op J musical collective have a cosmic choogle through the BP Fallon & His Bandits classic ‘Van And Gloria’. And the amazing guitar-playing from the double-dynamite duo of Bandit Aaron Lee Tasjan and Sean Lennon doubtlessly has Jimi smiling…”
