This week's episode is a little shorter, but packed with just as much as usual. I talk about music from Tom Waits, The Smithereens, The Who, and John Prine's newest release. I talk about TV shows including Deadliest Catch and Last Man on Earth. And I bid farewell to Harry Anderson, Verne Troyer, and Bruno Sammartino, to boot.
