#113: The Old Man's Back Again
After a brief goodbye to the legend Scott Walker, we draw a bead on Olympian shitheel and murderer Joe Biden – not just a sex creep, but one of the most poisonous Democratic legislators of the last 30 years.
*A note: I was tired & garbled the terminology around the Glass-Steagall Act, which Biden helped to repeal. I meant to say that Glass-Steagall separated savings banks, where people deposit their money strictly to have it in a bank account and expect that it won't change unless they change it, from investment banks, which are free to use investors' money for speculative investment. Get rid of that distinction, and hey, welcome to 2008.
Music cues, all by Scott Walker:

Also, on lyrics, what's your take on David Berman of the silver jews/purple mountains? I can't think if a better lyricist.
Another great episode and nice to listen to today, as his star seems to be waining. I've not listened to all the episodes yet, but if you haven't done one, I'd love to hear your thoughts on scott walker. He should be lauded for coming up with the image of spam castanets.
Let me fall out of the window with confetti in my hair, I'd tell you all my story, but I lie about my past- tom waits
Better than anything Hemingway did
Bravo! Brilliant episode.
Thanks, mate. Biden needs to be shit on every time he shows his face in public
