Can I Get An Amen
In May 2003 we caught up with Jon Spencer, who was taking a break from recording by doing only a few concerts in Europe. He shared with us his philosophy on the power of performing:
"A rock 'n roll concert is something of a ritual. It's almost a religious rite. I think everybody comes to a show because they want to change a little bit and move outside their normal selves."
