Open Mike Eagle by the Treeline Stage: Photo by Liz DevineComedian, rapper and all-around smart/nice guy Open Mike Eagle was a pleasure to hang with when he swung through the Pickathon interview set this past summer. Whether talking Tights and Fights on his pro wrestling podcast, dropping self-described "art rap" records, or most recently landing a series slot on Comedy Central for his The New Negroes, the psych major is an intelligent, funny, conscious man so it was interesting to hear him and Portia Sabin of The Future of What talk about the business of music.
