On January 3rd, 1990 I interviewed Chas Smith for the second issue of
my zine <a
href="http://clepunk.com/clepunk/ClePunkZines.nsf/LISTZINERAGNAROK/D7BC2271B1BB326385256A850077FB19">Ragnarok</a>. My
focus was on Cle music scene history: Chas's time in The Clocks, The
Pagans, and Venus Envy. A lot of his life is woven into it (he starts
by talking about his childhood in Wickliffe) and eventually leads to
his time at CSU doing composing and Brainrot Radio Theater.
<p>
Chas passed away on October 16th, 2007.
<p>
The interview is just under two hours long.
