No better
way to experience Mark Kozelek than in SF

Saturday
night, I ventured out to Great American
Music Hall San
Francisco to see Mark Kozelek play a show ten blocks
from where the former Red House Painters singer lives, according to some of his between song banter that evening.
I had
interviewed Kozelek back in 2011 for Queensberry-Rules.com, not so much about music, but about boxing.
Kozelek’s spin off from Red House Painters is named Sun Kil Moon, named for the
South Korean boxer. On Sun Kil Moon’s first album Ghosts of a Great Highway exists a song “Salvador Sanchez”, named
for the legendary Mexican fighter who died tragically at 23 years of age.
