Nate talks about the current "crisis of purpose" so many people are facing, particularly in the music industry. Highlighted examples of this conundrum (and possible solutions) are discussed, including a 68-year old Danzig destroying San Antonio with an impeccable set list, Billy Corgan's creative obsession leading to a nervous breakdown during the Siamese Dream sessions, and the inner demon needed to overcome endless obstacles in the pursuit of our dreams.

Album of discussion: 

Suffering Hour - The Cyclic Reckoning (2021)
