Last week's show was short, time-wise, and I promised I'd make up for it. And make up, I did, because this is one of my longer non-interview shows, clocking in at 20:30. If you listen to this show during your morning commute, you may have to circle the block a few times before going in to work.

But it's so packed with stuff that I don't think you'll mind. This week we're looking at songs that were inspired by books, a topic that's turned out to be HUGE, and we'll be visiting again in the future if you're digging it.

As promised here are links to the stories I talked about during the show.

This is the link to "The Sound-Sweep." It's a little on the long side, but I think you'll like it.

This is Ray Bradbury's "Rocket Man." I think it was scanned into someone's computer because there are some weird typos.
