Almost All the Popular Songs Are About Love

Giants of the 20th Century, anyone? Definitive, transcendent artists? You got your Picassos, your Nabokovs, your Bergmans. I like Joe Frank (wiki; web site; partial RealAudio archive).

Here’s an excerpt from a 2000 program, Karma, Part 6, that came up on the ipod the other day and, in its mordant humor, hints at the nature of his larger project. It’s also clear from this that Joe Frank has never heard Furniture Huschle.
