    I love how engaged the interviewer is with Mike. It feels like an intimate conversation. It's all very natural and comfortable.

    this is great. as a hetero man who was "on the outside" for other reasons, I find a lot of wisdom here. I like how Mike says "you just dont care anymore" My favorite quote is TS Eliot "teach us to care, and not to care"

    We need to move out of the suburbs and back into the city.. god am I feeling that. Never more strongly have I felt so squeezed out of a location. So unwelcome and other and suffocated. So many Years of trying to make it here, raising kids here, and now for it to have come to a sense of quits... yeah. My kids and I need the city. Need. I hope you find your place too...

    Hey Mike, do you know that your song "Die for you" was used in Netflix Wentworth when a woman was killed?? It's the 1st time I heard of you or the song..I cried as the emotion was so strong when a belived inmate was dying.
