Julian Warme from The Johnstones got the best birthday present
ever from me this year: An interview with John K. Sampson, lead
singer/guitarist of The Weakerthans. He fought with the stupid
fucking TTC and LRT to make it to their show at The Legendary
Red Dog (love that place, thank you to Mike Stone for being
superbadass and the best bar owner ever!) Peterborough just in
time to sit down with John and chat before their wicked
performance!  J: How was your journey to Peterborough? JKS: It
was fine, I left Winnipeg this morning and here I am now!  J:
Awesome, we actually drove past your bus on the way here JKS: Oh
really… J: Kinda noticed you were a bit late, Steve said you
were running behind schedule.. JKS: A little bit, yeah it wasn't
too bad though we got off the plane and got on the bus…it's been
fairly smooth so far.. it certainly hasn't been hard so far.  J:
How's Winnipeg right now? JKS: Nice, it's beautiful actually.
Everything's growing and sunny, generally. A bit too hot but
probably not as hot as h
