006 - Harley Flanagan Interview
<p>Ever wondered how Harley Flanagan’s chaotic upbringing shaped his hardcore spirit?</p><br><p>In Episode 006 of CJ Says, Harley shares how his wild childhood fuelled his passion for music and community - from his misspent youth running loose on the mean streets of NYC, to his introduction to skinhead culture in Belfast, Northern Ireland, to making music that was louder than the noise inside his head, it’s all part of his survival story…</p><br><p>This episode explores how punk rock was more than just a genre; it was a lifeline for all those who felt lost & alone in a world full of mayhem & trauma. It gave a voice to the voiceless and a home to all those who didn't fit in.</p><br><p>Harley strongly believes that art and music can save us, and his journey is a testament to that. Every note played is a reminder that we can rise above our circumstances!!!</p><br><p>The circumstances and scenarios of Harley’s existence read like something out of a modern-day fairytale, with all of the nightmarish elements to boot. His tale is incredible, and he’s here to tell it in all its devastating scope. Expect plenty of amazing Ramones’ stories, too.</p><br><p>If you want to hear the second half of this interview, where we go even deeper into Harley’s journey from chaos to contentment, head over to <a href="http://www.patreon.com/cjsays" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.patreon.com/cjsays</a> - you’ll find all of our exclusive bonus content there. </p><br><p>Thank you to Harley for sharing his story so openly.

004 - Slim Jim Phantom Interview
<p>Slim Jim Phantom from Stray Cats joins CJ & Matt this week for the second CJ Says Guest Interview...</p><br><p>If you've ever wondered how Stray Cats developed their unmistakable style of punk-infused rockabilly with a New York twist, then look no further, because The Honest Mechanic is here to spill the beans in this week's in-depth interview.</p><br><p>According to Slim Jim, Stray Cats drew heavily from the early rockabilly records of Gene Vincent, Buddy Holly, and Elvis Presley, blending the signature sound of Sun Studios with the raw punk rock energy of their contemporaries - bands like Ramones, Sex Pistols & The Clash - to create a brand new musical language and accompanying visual aesthetic, which defied categorisation, capturing the spirit of traditional American rock 'n' roll while updating it for the modern era, and carving out a unique space in musical history in the process.</p><br><p>Be sure to pick up a copy of Slim Jim's book, 'A Stray Cats Strut: My Life as a Rockabilly Rebel' and check out his weekly radio show on SiriusXM, the 'Rockabilly Rave-Up'.</p><br><p>For an even deeper dive into our conversation with Slim Jim Phantom, where you'll hear all about his lifelong friendship with and connection to the Ramones, head over to www.patreon.com/cjsays to stream the second half of this interview.
