An interview full of laughterGlick Ok then, my next guest burst onto the scene in the 1974 film classic, Death Wish, in which he played punk #2 or was it punk #3? I always get those two roles mixed up. He's circus tall but carnival cute with a deadpan quality that can honesty wear thin after a while so I'm not 100% sure how this is going to go. But he's here, he's been booked and there's no use crying over spilled up milk. So get yourself a huge can of RAID because here comes the fly himself, Mr. Jeff Goldenbloom.
