Recorded on March 9th, 2020 in this episode of KENVERSATIONS, Ken Dixon talks with Eva Dilcue of the Cleveland Ohio based band The Generators discussing her career and reflecting upon Pop Culture in relation to her life -  "I'm proud to say I was a hippie and a punk". Topics include being given her name which is EUCLID AVE backwards, seeing The Beatles at Cleveland Stadium, The Animals, Led Zeppelin, the Kent State shootings, Mahavishnu Orchestra, the Coventry neighborhood of Cleveland, Devo, the emergence of punk, and many others tales. Perhaps most interesting is the story about filmmaker Paul Schrader coming to town to spend a week with The Generators while prepping the Joan Jett + Michael J. Fox film"Light Of Day". Schrader asked Eva to write a song called "Born In The USA" which may or may not have been a demo for The Boss!
