Christian rock wasn’t always a thing, until the controversial singer-songwriter Larry Norman came around. In an era when the church deemed rock and roll evil, Larry wrote a song called “Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music.”He threw a wrench in the gears of rock and roll history as we know it. My friends and I discuss this game-changing artist’s career (and his influence) at length.

The late operatic new-wave pop phenomenon Klaus Nomi is discussed on today's round-table show, with my friend Vince Ynzunza (who is a big fan) and my friend Vicki Atkins (who has never heard of him). Jump in and get your ears wet. This episode was engineered by Miles Rozatti.
