  3. Stephen Tobolowsky!

    Did you listen to the resent "Tobolowsky Files" podcast where the character actor (Ned Ryerson from GROUNDHOG DAY) revealed how he came to write the first draft of TRUE STORIES, how his own phychic abilities became the inspiration for the song RADIO HEAD, and how said song inspired the band name?

    Michael- I've got to listen to the "Tobolowsky Files" podcast. I heard him on the WTF podcast and he sounded amazingly eccentric.
