Love can be a complex topic; so here’s an episode that will not clear things up at all. And to make matters more confusing, there will be songs that are optimistic, pessimistic, realistic, sad, happy, and delusional. So whether you love love, hate love, or “it’s complicated” love, there should be a song for you. And towards the end, I also take another crack at The Bluegrass Quiz from Chris Jones.
