Separation of Church and Sex | ETM-Hilary Kemp 80

Hilary asks Edward T what his definition of love is.  Quickly, the show goes from a talk about love to an argument about sexual behavior. What else would you expect from these two?

Hilary wants to know Edward T's definition of love. After a painful recounting of a recent bid for love, ETM gives his definition. Hilary doesn't give hers, but instead points out that not only are sex and love not the same thing, but that the twain rarely ever cross, nor should they. And that's when the argument begins.

In the middle of all that, ETM goes on another "this city sucks' rant. But unbelievably, this time it's not about Seattle! Edward T rips into none other than Denver this time, pointing out how he feels his former hometown has been over-run by fundamentalist Christians attempting to convert anyone in their sight-line, and he's fed up with it.

Also: an awesome deconstruction of a song by Philadelphia band War on Drugs, "Brothers".  Edward T hears a combination of several disparate elements, from Roxy Music, Gin Blossoms, Phil Spector's 'Wall of Sound' and even Bob Dylan, all rolled into one.  His mind is blown, and he hopes yours will be too, on this show's edition of the ever-comprehensive Media Minute.

Spirits in the Material World | ETM-Hilary Kemp 79

ETM and Hilary discuss the current shape of their lives, do some catching up, and talk about religion and spirituality.

ETM and Hilary discuss the current shape of their lives, do some catching up, and talk about religion and spirituality, which leads ETM to wonder if he is as spiritual as he thinks he is, or if he's just as shallow and materialistic as he never thought he was.
