Packed: Sagan Lockhart — Monster Children

By Naz Kawakami
| Monster Children Verified
It’s hard to say what Sagan Lockhart is. For sure he is a human, but a human what? A skater? A photographer? A musician? An artist? A chicken wing griller?

You probably did because I never shut the fuck up about it. My show was called Night Drive, every Thursday from midnight to 3AM. Those were good times. A lot of sex, drugs, and partying were done in that little Honolulu radio studio. None of it done by me, but it’s still cool to think about.
