Blasting back to the heyday of the
punk movement, Kevin and Mike hop aboard Rocket to Russia,
the third studio album by rough and tumble rockers, The Ramones.
Featuring prominently in this consummate discourse on pop culture
are gratuitous references to the likes of Walt Whitman, Paul
McCartney and Wings, The Fairly OddParents, Jack Kerouac,
Motörhead, The Gong Show, and Fibber McGee and Molly. And
somehow, Jurgen Habermas horns his way into the conversation yet
again.
