WARNING: EXTREMELY SENSITIVE CONTENT
Ken Stringfellow was a founding member of the Posies, who enjoyed a long career as one of the best power pop bands of the 90s and beyond. He also held down recurring gigs with REM, Big Star, Giant Sand and many others as well as a solo career. In 2021 this was all upended when three women accused him of sexual assault. Since then almost all of his musical partners have distanced themselves from him and he's had to (almost) start over from scratch. This year he released his first album since his world imploded called Circuit Breaker which is about as primal a creative response to this as you'll ever hear. Ken joins us this week to tell his side of the story. It's a tricky subject that we chose to approach journalistically and neutrally. We apologize in advance if anyone is triggered by this conversation as that was not our intention.

By having Ken Stringfellow on your show, you are not looking at things “from an unbiased standpoint”. You’re simply platforming an alleged rapist. If you want good journalistic content revolving the matter, Eugene Weekly and KUOW’s articles on him are spot on. Shame on you and everybody who continues to give Ken the time of day.
