Bell has been a hardcore Fishbone fan since the early ’90s, and he remains a certified enjoyer to this day. Importantly, he was also a fan when the band was less popular — take that bandwagoners! So, with his longtime experience listening to songs like “Party at Ground Zero” and “Ma and Pa,” it’s safe to say he has quite a few thoughts when it comes to their catalog.
In other words, this is the Fishbone conversation you’ve always wanted to hear. Listen to W. Kamau Bell chat about all of this and more above, and make sure to like, review, and follow the series wherever you get your podcast.
