Is there a podcast of it or it is downloadable?

I like listening to Jesse.

Jesse was very candid in this interview. I don't know what has gotten into him lately. But he has been so honest & straightfoward in his interviews lately and very chatty. Not to say that he wasn't honest before. But its like someone busted him open & everything is spilling out.

Can you be more specific? What did he say? The interview was never on the KGGI website.

I didn't catch the whole interview. i just happen 2 b channel surfing while driving and there he was just talking away...I heard most of the interview. They were mainly playing his favorite artists that he likes and discussing there background and behind the scenes info on them.

He was very accommodating,relaxed and answered every question asked....Like how he came about writing the After 7 hit."Nights Like This" for the Five Heartbeats soundtrack and how people are just now realizing he wrote it since it didn't sound like his sound. There were also things discussed on him playing guitar on a lot of artist trax. I had no idea he played on.The DJ gave him major props....

One of the things I've always liked about Jesse is that he was honest about how he felt. He has praised Prince and at the same time called him an asshole. He has shown his respect for his talent and also expressed frustration that Prince overshadowed him. He was open about his time living with Prince and he has always been such a fantastic guitarist. It is funny, when I see him interviewed with The Time (oh I'm sorry, The Original 7ven!), he seems like an outsider. He seems to be almost too honest about things and sometimes the others around him seem uncomfortable about it... as if they are afraid of opening up too much about their collective pasts. I don't know if this is because Jesse is confident enough to bite the hand that fed him (Prince) or if the band just doesn't know where he is going with the strories and if any of them are going to look bad! lol

Loves me some Jesse. Thanx for the info about this interview. Sounds like a lot of fun.

Excellent! thanx for the post. Jesse rocks and I'm enjoying it. He always sounds like he just woke up but that man is filled with information and history, and respect for so many.
