  • Phenomenal show!

    Jack, listening to your show reminds me of the scene from U2’s Rattle & Hum music doc where Bono is telling B.B King the lyrics to “When Love Comes to Town” and B.B. looks at Bono and says, “you awfully young to have such deep lyrics.” How do you know so much about so many different genres of music?! I am amazed, a little jealous, but also deeply curious about each new episode and what I can learn from them. Thank you for sharing your talents with the rest of us.
