I discovered him when I was 11 or 12 – a friend’s older sister had his records (as well as every Beatles album) and we spent hours in the basement listening to every single riff, learning them all and repeating them back to each other over and over again. It was not popular among my teachers. But from that day it’s been obvious to me that Carlin was someone you could trust. These days, he seems like the Last Honest Man. Kudos to Rach for a *great* interview. More Carlin here, here and here.
