In 1978, Kweder Was The Messiah

Not that he's not still the Messiah, of course. Today, our gift to you is a 1978 interview with Tuesday night denizen of Smokey Joe's, Kenn Kweder, whose fans at the time called him the Messiah (according to the lady in the funny hat)!

Kweder, who knows how to rev up a crowd of belligerent barely 21-year-olds by belting "mothafuckasssss" had some prophetic words back in the day: "Einstein was blessed with an understanding of science, I was blessed with an understanding of writing good songs." Remember this as you belt out "Sweet Caroline" with Kenn in the wee hours this Tuesday evening.
