The Sour Hour, June 20, 2018 (Steve Haruch)

In this episode, I did what I could to pay tribute to a great man.

I talk about my experiences with Jim Ridley, the late critic and editor of Nashville Scene, whose film writing has been compiled in a new book, People Only Die of Love in Movies (https://www.amazon.com/People-Only-Die-Love-Movies/dp/0826522068). Writer Steve Haruch, who also edited the book, joins me in saluting Ridley and his work. I also play music from Elvis Costello, Bruce Springsteen and Run-DMC (all Ridley faves).

As for my opening rant, I go off on Trump and all the Mexican families he's destroyed, XXXTentacion's sudden passing, the new Jay-Z/Beyonce album and an unfortunate incident I had at an art gallery owned by a guy in clown makeup. I get so tired and frustrated near the end, I need to play some Casanova to get some aggression out.
