Show Notes
Ken Brandon seems to be a kind of philosophical Stoic, Buddhist, absurdist Spartan, who is known for riding a bicycle around Salida, Colo., while wearing a giraffe head and a three-piece suit. And yet he describes himself as "boring." Ken also is a designer, a painter and a screenwriter, and he's the creator of Box of Bubbles in Salida, Colo.
Adam talks with Ken about his “boring” approach to life and his appreciation of the surreal. They dabble in Dalí and da Vinci, Taosim and Dadaism. And talk about Ken’s astonishing collection of American idioms, which is 20+ years in the making. Among other things.
