I Got A Song

Two friends. Two sets of ears. Zero credentials. On “I Got a Song,” we humbly bumble through the history, quirks, and mysteries a track at a time. Each episode, the host ambushes the other with a surprise pick, then we dive into clips, band stories, random tangents, and whatever rabbit holes the song opens up. It’s not polished. It’s not predictable. But it’s always about the joy of learning music together.

Ep. 070 - Crystal Blue Persuasion (Tommy James & The Shondells, 1968)

Todays topics: crime, rock n roll, God, and a look at Michael's shady teenage shenanigans.
