I&#8217;ll go off on a tangent, and we&#8217;ll never come back.&#8221; That&#8217;s not always a bad thing. We&#8217;ve always had dogs. I&#8217;ve always loved music &#8211; even more-so when I started creating and performing own. And I&#8217;ve always been a movie geek, especially of the culty\/twisted variety. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/brisco1.gif\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/brisco1-150x150.gif\" alt=\"brisco1\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-6190\" \/><\/a>Years ago, I wrote for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/archives\/139\" target=\"_blank\">Santa Cruz Sentinel<\/a>. I recently came across one of my favorite articles when I was combing through the archives (i.e., searching for my spare guitar tuner) here in the office. I did this piece when I was reviewing the campy science fiction western <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Adventures_of_Brisco_County,_Jr.\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.&#8221;<\/a>, also known as <strong>THE GREATEST TELEVISION SHOW EVER EVER EVER<\/strong>. I got to talk to one of my B-movie heroes, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bruce-campbell.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bruce Campbell<\/a>. He&#8217;s best known as the star (and co-producer) of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0083907\/\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Evil Dead&#8221;<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0092991\/?ref_=nv_sr_1\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Evil Dead 2&#8221;<\/a> (the horror comedy remake) and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0106308\/\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Army of Darkness&#8221;<\/a> (the sequel). <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/brisco2.gif\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/brisco2-150x150.gif\" alt=\"brisco2\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-6191\" \/><\/a>I was so excited about the prospect of talking to Bruce and asking inside questions, I basically just transcribed our conversation in the article. It&#8217;s especially fun (and topical) to revisit this since Campbell is back in the spotlight with the new Starz TV series, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.starz.com\/originals\/ashvsevildead\/featured\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Ash vs The Evil Dead&#8221;<\/a>. It just started airing. I&#8217;d love to throw money at my television screen and binge on the whole season right now.<\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.michaelgaither.com%2Fhome%2Fyes-i-talked-with-bruce-campbell%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;&amp;width=800&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:800px;height:30px;margin-top:5px;\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I always warn people, especially at the day job, &#8220;Never bring up dogs, music, or movies.
