<p>A short one. Silliness and sour grapes.  "Treat 'em mean to keep 'em keen"? Clockwork lupines. Do people really want what they tell Cosmopolitan they want in a relationship? George adds a lot to this song. Basing expectations for men on 80s sit-com dads. Being good at stuff men aren't supposed to be good at. Do nice guys finish?</p>

Episode 52: Would That Make You Happy?

Being raised in a strict fundamentalist Christian group in the 1980s can cause some very predictable problems.

This podcast is centered around the songs I wrote to deal back then, and what happened when I then picked away at recording workable versions of them for decades.
