Our summer tradition at Here&rsquo;s the Thing continues, as staff members choose their favorite conversations from the archives for our Summer Staff Pick series. This week, we revisit Alec&rsquo;s conversation with Jon Anderson. Many words can be used to describe singer-songwriter Jon Anderson; cautious is not one of them. Born in England in 1944, he began singing on his brother&rsquo;s daily route as a milkman before falling head first for rock n&rsquo; roll. After meeting bassist Chris Squire in the late 1960s, he joined a rock group called Mabel Greer&rsquo;s Toy Shop&mdash;and the two left to form a band that was later renamed Yes. Now 72, he&rsquo;s sold more than 50 million albums worldwide. But for the adventurous Anderson&mdash;whose rendition of Goldfinger&nbsp;earned him the nickname "The Shirley Bassey of Rock and Roll," it&rsquo;s still all about the music.See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
