103. VASHTI BUNYAN: THE POP STAR WHO CHOSE HOMELESSNESS
103. VASHTI BUNYAN: THE POP STAR WHO CHOSE HOMELESSNESSDescription
She’s written and recorded some of the greatest music of all time. And her new memoir, “Wayward: Just Another Life To Live,” is an absolute must-read.
Considered the godmother of the freak-folk movement, as if to underscore the point, Devendra Banhart used to write her name on his arm before he’d play shows.
In this episode, Vashti Bunyan reveals to Discograffiti:
- Exactly what happened on her lightning-quick ride on the fame train during the early part of her career;
- What she did to sabotage her Jimmy Page-written single;
- And a blow-by-blow account of her 18-month period of homeless wandering.
NEXT WEEK: Vashti Bunyan rates the bulk of her discography…including Diamond Day!
