Indie rock fans know Robert Pollard as the hard-partying lead singer of the band Guided By Voices. He was 36 before the band received any sort of acclaim, teaching grade school for half of the band's 21-year career. Pollard has recorded more than a thousand songs, and even though Guided by Voices broke up in 2004, he is still writing and touring as a solo artist. Reporter Sean Cole asks Pollard what drives him to produce so much.
