10-21-23 Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left of Center - Character Flaws

2023-11-20

Greetings! So, I'm in my car listening to Graham Fitkin's wonderful 2017 release, "Veneer", which explores, per GF, "the twisted moral fragility of our current celebrity-icon-tumbling era". As the track, "I'm Such A Shallow Person" is displayed on the digital readout, I start to think that a show featuring tunes concerning flawed human character traits and/or behaviors might be an interesting. Here it is. I hope you do too! Enjoy! Joel
