Episode 8: Part 1 - Maserati's grave and a 90's alternative music party at Ed's in Portland

DECONSTRUCT WITH MIKEE BRIDGES

Field trip!
I’m taking you with me to "a wretched hive of scum and villainy" to talk to some scum and villains! I put together a get together of just a few of my friends from the beginnings of the Portland underground scene. Let's call them “influencers'' from a day before social media. In part one of four of the conversation, I talk to my band mates from my first band in Portland in the early 90's. Singer Ron Thomas and drummer Marc Gilson. I talk to them about their history in the making of a new subculture.
First we go to Maserati's grave site! Why? I don't know. Just wanted to take you with me.
