You Talkin' to Me? Spoken Interludes in American Popular Music

Tuesday Mayhem 15 6:PM to 8:PM
Hosted by Art Crimes

Nothing seals the deal in a pop song better than to hear the voice of the singer as he or she stops for a moment and launches into a monologue that conveys the true dimensions of their misery, as they open to that good friend... the one who's always there when it counts. (That's you, dear listener.) We'll hear some of the saddest (and jaw-droppingly ridiculous) recitations ever, sampling from a smorgasboard of genres: country, soul, blues, and the saddest of all... disco.
