Naked Lunch : Mark Oliver Everett, AKA E from EELS

SHOW NOTES

Phil gets to know and love David's longtime friend Mark Oliver Everett, AKA E, the leader of the acclaimed band EELS who have released fourteen studio albums and become an internationally beloved touring act since the "Beautiful Freak" album in 1996 that featured the alternative radio favorites "Novocaine for the Soul." We hear how E and David first met, how E played his wedding to Fran who he lovingly dubbed "Chiclet" and their early days hanging out with friends like Terence Trent D'Arby, Howie Epstein of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and more. Over lunch from Sycamore Kitchen, E shares amazing stories about getting to know notable EELs fans like Steve Perry of Journey fame and Tom Waits, E's soundtrack and acting work (the "Shrek" movies, "Love," "Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," "Prisoner's Daughter"), dancing with Joni Mitchell and even playing Garry Shandling's memorial for an audience including Phil.
