Ray has had a problematic relationship with our country. The Kinks were banned in the US in the early days of the British Invasion and lost a lot of momentum here. Davies was also shot in an attack in New Orleans where he was living in 2004. It's a wide ranging conversation that covers a lot of ground in a fascinating life.
