Dennis Perrin is a blogger, author, stand-up comic, and the guest this week. We discuss his return to the stage, the state of politics in the US, and the reality of living in Obama's America. Turns out it's very much the same as living in Bush's America, which was more similar to Clinton's America than most admit. The music of John Cage, Scott Joplin, Chet Atkins, Silvertone Records, and the Kazoo are featured this week, along with an excerpt from The Coming Insurrection, and a Titanic factoid.
