The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion – Penthouse: The Truth About The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion (PRESS, US)

Jon Spencer discusses this feature in a Filter article titled ‘Wild Man Blues’:

“We were so grossly misinterpreted. Called names. It definitely hurt, especially since it was going on here in the United States of America. That one piece by the Chicago writer, Jim DeRogatis [“The Truth About The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion,” 1997], really burned me. He came and visited us on tour, hung out with us, and he never brought any of that stuff up with me. It wasn’t something he chose to discuss, but when the piece came out there was all this stuff about minstrel shows and accusations of racism.” – Filter (August 2012)
