    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 119 – Ancestor Animal Temple

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – Episode 76 – Shining Like a National Guitar

They’re like an anchor or placeholder in a way, if you think about it. Lyrics set to music can also launch us into new worlds altogether. The mind is a powerful instrument and certain themes and stories told through music are mysterious to us still. Mark Lindsay and Eloy Escagedo talk about this topic using the song Graceland by Paul Simon as an example. The hosts then get into the conversation of famous guitars. We’ve all heard…
