WDEK Election Day Special Ep. 86 - Part 3: Tyson Meade, Negin Farsad, Emmarose, Corn Mo & "Keith Raniere" (played by Roy Koshy)

Part 3 (of 4) of our Marathon Special Election Day Ep. 86 opens with the Godfather of Alt-Rock Tyson Meade who has been cited by Kurt Cobain as one of his influences. Tyson performs Feel Like A Drugstore in front of Midway Grocery in Oklahoma City, OK.   Writer, comedian, actress Negin Farsad joins us from NYC. She celebrates Election Day by purchasing lots of desserts. Christian and Shonali approve.  Why isn't Election Day a festive national holiday? Negin makes many "astute points" regarding the ease with we should make voting in the United States.  17 year old Singer-songwriter Emmrose discusses her feelings on  being too young to vote.  From talking with her, she seems more prepared to vote than many of the thirty somethings we know. Emmrose sings one of her newest releases Grass Is Greener.   Corn Mo is a multi-talented musician and songwriter.  Have you ever met an accordianist before? His hat collection may top David Cross'. He's been saving money by performing on livestream shows and not having to catch cabs these days.  We are lucky to have him perform the beautiful song Superman  about a man waking up his son to watch Superman with him on tv.  For the first time ever, NXVM cult leader "Keith Raniere" (played by actor/comedian Roy Koshy) gives WDEK an exclusive interview from prison.  Christian and Shonali are SPEECHLESS.  We talk volleyball, magical semen, fortune cookies, and the presidential election!  Hang in there everyone!  Ep. 96 Part 4 & Ep. 87 on its way.
