15: Joakim Berg – part 1

After 15 years of giving zero interviews, getting this man in the podcast seat was…easy. When we asked him to join us in the studio for Back to the Music, he said yes and arrived early.  Sarah and Björn sit the Swedish rock legend known as Jocke Berg down for a fun 90 minutes of music chit-chat. And here is the first half of that afternoon, when he talks about:

• How a kids’ TV series with a sunburst Fender stratocaster inspired his music career. 
• How the Swedish music funding scene got Kent on its feet and then kicked them to the curb for not abiding by the rules. 
• How liquid courage (vodka) brought the band its drummer.
• How melody writes the lyrics.
• How Kent abandoned guitars
