Jason Narducy (Bob Mould, Split Single, Superchunk, Verbow, Verboten, Jason and Alison, so much more) met me for conversation and THE MOTHERLOAD at City Barbeque in Park Ridge (123 N Northwest Pkwy, Park Ridge, IL 60068). City Barbeque basically set us up with one of everything. I’m still wrestling with the meat sweats as I type this.

Advance warning: Verboten: The Musical is opening January 26th at the Chopin Theatre!
