Twin Peak’s Michael Horse talks art, music, playing Hawk, David Lynch and more

Today on MEANWHILE we are talking to the legendary MICHAEL HORSE! Obviously we are going to talk about his time playing Hawk on Twin Peaks, but Michael is such a facinating person we take several detours to learn about his artwork, hitchhiking to New York City, The Legend of the Lone Ranger, his first time working with David Lynch on The Cowboy and the Frenchman, new projects, old projects, and everything in between -- including making ads for the Coca-cola Company's GEORGIA COFFEE. 

What an absolute treat. Many thanks to Susan Marks for helping make this happen.
