how did i get here?
”Johnny Goudie is the Marc Maron of Austin music. The veteran singer/guitarist – best known for fronting early Nineties pop band Mr. Rocket Baby and, later, his major-label rock act, Goudie – stepped up to the microphone with a new intention in 2011 and launched the How Did I Get Here? podcast. Now 840-some episodes in, the hourlong, twice-weekly interview show gives the host a platform to really connect with his Austin music guests, not just on what’s happening in their careers, but also in the shared experience of music appreciation – and that’s where he truly shines.” -The Austin Chronicle 2019

Hello and welcome to How Did I Get Here? From The Vault! Today we go back to episode 335 with David Komie "The Attorney That Rocks". This show was originally released on 12/19/14. Below are my original notes from the episode.
My guest for episode 335 is "the attorney that rocks", David Komie! If you live in Austin or have come to Austin over the last few years you've probably seen his billboards or commercials. David is a defense attorney here in Austin, but he's also the frontman for the band, Dharma Kings. so, he does in fact, rock. I have wondered who David is since I started seeing him on tv. Wondered what kind of guy he was. Well, I found out. He's a really interesting, genuine and very nice guy with a fascinating story. We talk about growing up poor in Miami, going to college on a tennis scholarship, playing pro tennis, law school in the south, being a lawyer, starting a label, starting a band, being "attorney that rocks" and much, much more. I had a great time getting to know David. I'm sure you will too. Let's get down!
