info_outlineThere was a palpable tension in the room. Jonathan hadn't been on the podcast in a long time. Our last interaction was through a text message where he thanked me for an article I wrote about his previous full album release "Borrowed Time". I thought the article was clever and complementary but, it ultimately said that the music didn't resonate with me. Did the article enrage him? Was he playing the long game? Pretending to be appreciative of the article but secretly waiting until he could come on the pod to confront me? I've never thought of him as a violent man but, he could've been training Jiu Jitsu his entire home school career for all I know. As I set down at the microphone, full of fear and confusion, I decided to let come what may and I hit the record button. Bomethius is the brainchild/alter ego of Jonathan Hodges.
