I think I’m a little obsessed with reading and listening to Tay Zonday interviews. Given that, I can say with full confidence that the best Tay Zonday interview to date was done by Jim & Taylor on Flak Radio.
It’s pretty easy to say why. They’re the only guys who’ve actually gotten into what Chocolate Rain is all about.
