Mike Watt – the DenverThread Interview: Touring Econo, Jamming Austere, Pure Dada

By Billy Thieme

Watt covered some major ground in that short time. From his current stint with the Stooges, to some of the history of Minutemen and his beloved San Pedro (CA), to the tour he was bout to kick off in a few days, he led me on a musical, improvisational, stream-of-thought journey – and maintained his reputation as one of rock’s nicest guys you’d ever want to talk to.
