Before taking the stage at the Roy Wilkins Auditorium in St. Paul, Minn., on May 6, 2014, Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age sat down for a fun and informal conversation with The Current's Jill Riley.

Josh tells Jill what he thinks of when he thinks of Minnesota, particularly musically. He also describes the many collaborations Queens of the Stone Age have had, including with such artists as Dave Grohl and Elton John.

In talking about the recent album, … Like Clockwork, Josh describes how he gets ideas for songs and how his approach as a songwriter has changed as he and his career have matured.
