Said Allmusic about our guest: “He writes songs that are melodic, hooky and
emotionally true, and he sings and plays them with an honesty and
force that still finds room for humor without venom.” (See any
commonality with The Beatles?) In this episode, Robert and Richard
sat down and talked Beatles (and music generally) with Marshall
Crenshaw, before discussing the meanings of “power pop” and
“Beatlesque,” citing some favorite artists along the
way.
Songs include “Crying,
Waiting, Hoping” and “Soldier of Love.”
