Episode 398 -- John Cougar Mellencamp and the Scarecrow album's 40th anniversary (part 1)

Welcome back to the Manor!  This year marks the 40th anniversary of the album "Scarecrow" by John Mellencamp.  Where's the Cougar you ask?  She's sleeping in the other room.  But seriously, this is a wonderful album that is very moving and deep.  We are releasing it on July 4th for reasons... reasons that you'll hear when you listen to the episode.  Part 2 was recorded on the same night, but we were so into it, we needed the two episodes and the second will be released next month near the album's release date. We get into the album, the songs, how it reflects the plight of farmers, and more.  Pour yourself a pint and listen in.  Next week's episode is about literary firsts.
