Jay’s Music Pick: The Kinks
Haven’t we done these guys already? We sure did! For the first (and possibly last) time, Political Beats has done something unprecedented and gone back to cover an artist for the second time. Why? Because frankly, our original Kinks take was Episode #7 (we’re up to #130 now, seven years later), and we didn’t know what we were doing with the format yet, didn’t do the discussion justice, and frankly this should have been a two-part episode.

So now it is!
