A show featuring tracks written about in Robert Christgau’s book Grown Up All Wrong, celebrating the Dean of American Rock Critics in general. Talk of him as an appreciator of African music, late style, girls who rock, and lots more. We’re lucky to have him, and to have him so well preserved on his own website.
