Episode 26: "Independence!"


Direct from the "Cradle of Liberty," this week's episode celebrates North American music just in time for two of our biggest holidays: Canada Day and Independence Day!

In our first hour, Todd hosts a sixty minute guided tour of our neighbor to the North... we'll chat with LEONARD COHEN and ROBBIE ROBERTSON about their Canadian heritage... we'll also hear great live performances from SARAH MCLACHLAN, BARENAKED LADIES, CRASH TEST DUMMIES, BRUCE COCKBURN and many more!

Then... Put your passports away as we head for home, and get ready for an hour of songs about this Land of Ours, the United States! DAVE ALVIN and AIMEE MANN entertain at our pre-Fourth picnic, while FRANCIS DUNNERY drops in for a foreigner's point of view. We'll even track some classic tunes from SIMON & GARFUNKEL, CHUCK BERRY and JACKSON BROWNE!

All that, plus the musings of your host, TODD RUNDGREN... this week on THE DIFFERENCE!
