Brady on “Sound Opinions”

Share This Post

The public radio show Sound Opinions asked the world for their favorite guilty pleasures, and I happily gave mine: “MacArthur Park” by Richard Harris. Thanks to Greg and Jim for having me on to chat about why someone left that cake out in the rain!

The album “MacArthur Park” is on, by the way, is a treat. When I was in high school, I’d come into the school’s cable TV studio on weekend mornings to edit whatever shows or projects I was working on, and I’d play “A Tramp Shining” over and over on the studio record player. I don’t know how anyone else felt about that, but I loved it.

You can listen to the full episode here. I’m on starting at about the 27 minute mark. Or check out “MacArthur Park” below.
