It started innocently enough. I asked the blues-rock guitarist, singer, and songwriter Popa Chubby about his recorded output, by his count 15 or so proper albums in the past 15 years.
"I got more than that," he said, alluding to Europe-only releases. "I'm a busy man."
Why so prolific?
"Most people are lazy SOBs, aren't they?" he said. "The way I look at it is you've got X amount of time on this planet, and you might as well make your mark. Whoever put me here didn't put me here to sit on my butt and watch American Idol, now did they?"
I should have run for cover.
