"When Richard Nixon coined the “war on drugs” in 1971, he was speaking metaphorically, assimilating the fight against illegal narcotics to armed conflict. We live in an age where nuance is regarded as an affectation, so it was not entirely surprising that Donald Trump should have taken the expression at face value."

Rewatching #TheCritic and the first episode is less a plot than a series of gags that culminate in a final scene. It’s still fun but my has it dated

Today’s guest: #HamiltonLeithauser! We’ll chat about his new music, recent collaborations, and that reunion with The Walkmen.

We’ll also dig into the theme from #TheCritic (it stinks—in the best way), and spin favorites from #DavidBowie, Hovercraft, new Garbage, and tons more.

6p ET on WFPK—tune in, or risk missing Hamilton being charming and slightly chaotic (as usual).
