Paul's dead, man. I miss him, I miss him...

Just fantastic.
Something of this nature is very heavy. The entire album is being played front to back and people are weighing in on it with personal experiences, opinions, and information. It's not an easy task.
However, this program feels very light and palatable. The conversation doesn't take away from the music and vice versa. And in the end, I think playing the tracks all the way through was the right way to go.
It's the 40th anniversary of an album worth celebrating.
