608 Star Wars Lore and More

May the 4th be with you. Brand new episode 608. Got into Star Wars this week - the original trilogy versus the prequels. Four, five, six are the movies I grew up on. That's the trilogy, will die on that hill. Tried to explain what an Ewok was to my kid the other day. Best I could do was little baby bear with a blaster. Pretty proud of that one. Plus a Bob Dylan show at the KeyArena that made me rethink changing up melodies live, and a bunch of tour dates coming up.
