182–Old Man
Today’s episode is about a song that was written just up the hill from where I was born and in the same town where my wife and and I were wed. So it most definitely “strikes close to home.” Neil…
169: Tiny Dancer
I don’t often play favorites on this show; in fact there have been a couple of songs I genuinely disliked, but I covered them anyway because the story behind them was kind of interesting. And I think…
167: Without You
One of my favorite titles for an album comes from The Animals. They did a bunch of albums up to 1969, then for a year or two there were a couple of compilation albums after they broke up. But in…

Episode 90–Long Cool Woman (in a Black Dress)
What do you think? You like that picture? I PAID for that stock photo, like some kind of honest guy. Despite this being perhaps The Hollies’ biggest hit in the US, it still managed not to make it…
57–Shel Silverstein, Part I
Click here for a transcript of today’s show. Shel Silverstein was a humorist, a poet, a cartoonist, and a musician who had a strong, if not especially obvious, influence on pop music through…
