In another not-so-new video interview we’ve found floating through the internets, photographer and muckraker Glen E. Friedman—who, according to famous jacket copy by Henry Rollins, “was there at the beginning of so much cool stuff in so many different areas it’s not funny”—speaks on old school shots of Run-DMC and Public Enemy, sharing the story behind gettung guns on the cover of PE’s “Rebel Without a Pause” 12″. Which we remembering owning. As an actual 12″. Because we’re old school like that.

He also shares his thoughts on 9/11’s connection to the war in Iraq, which ties into him using the windows of Russell Simmons’ Liberty Street apartment as a platform for broadcasting anti-war propaganda. Interesting stuff.
