Rich Lupo and I talk about some things from back in the day, what originally being from Massachusetts means for pizza preference, and a certain place in Rhode Island that means a lot to him. I've included a live track recorded at Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel in 1999 by one of my favorite bands, Gruvis Malt. I can talk more about it someday, but in short, they're the first RI band I came down to see and still to this day - 20+ years later - they are still impressive to me!
