Show Notes
Hosts Jesse Jackson and Sylvan Groth do the best to remember (or perhaps forget) their religious educations as we dig into the 2nd to last song we'll be discussing from John Hiatt's 2012 album, The Eclipse Sessions.
What do most people mean when they say God made humans in his own image? How far is John's tongue in his cheek as he takes us through the Land of 1,000 dances? And most importantly, how many stars will this song earn from these two Hiatt fans.
As mentioned on the podcast, Sylvan also recently joined SetLusting Bruce to sit in as Jesse interviewed her neighbor Bow Thayer, who once opened for John Hiatt and has a new album coming out. Be sure to listen to that episode, too. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
