103. VASHTI BUNYAN: THE POP STAR WHO CHOSE HOMELESSNESS

She’s written and recorded some of the greatest music of all time.  And her new memoir, “Wayward: Just Another Life To Live,” is an absolute must-read.  

Considered the godmother of the freak-folk movement, as if to underscore the point, Devendra Banhart used to write her name on his arm before he’d play shows. 

In this episode, Vashti Bunyan reveals to Discograffiti: 


Exactly what happened on her lightning-quick ride on the fame train during the early part of her career;



What she did to sabotage her Jimmy Page-written single;



And a blow-by-blow account of her 18-month period of homeless wandering.


NEXT WEEK: Vashti Bunyan rates the bulk of her discography…including Diamond Day!
