The Junior League songwriter, singer, and multi-instrumentalist mastermind has also played and recorded with the Minus 5 with Scott McCaughy and REM's Peter Buck. A Beatles devotee since he heard "I Want To Hold Your Hand" on oldies radio at the age of 4, he's channeled his power-pop influences including Big Star, the Monkees, Bowie, Badfinger, and the Kinks into over a dozen excellent records. Tonight Joe joins the Troubled Men as they reflect on the chaos and ennui of the 1970s Me Decade. Key party, anyone?
