Josh Ritter Interview: 2022
Josh Ritter usually shares his stories through songs, and we've been a fan of this raconteur for years now. But he's also a novelist, and after finishing his second book, The Great Glorious Goddamn of It All, I wanted to ask Josh about it and tell him how much I loved it.
Of course, that wasn't all we talked about. Listen in the player above to hear about the "colorful" language in the book, how time and Josh's own music factor into the story, and the influence of two of his muses: his mom and Tom Waits.
For more stories and songs from Josh, check out his November 2021 FUV Live show at The Sheen Center, and video (below) of a sweet song from the book, called "Some Somewhere."
