Howdy folks:
Welcome to Michael Perry’s Voice Mail, episode 280. This one’s available to free and paid subscribers alike. Click the player above to listen.
In this episode I discuss my enduring affection for The Rockford Files, how I have failed to recruit my own family as fans of the show (but did introduce them to the music of Isaac Hayes), and share a piece of writing tying the art of Edward Hopper to International Harvester pickup trucks, The Rockford Files, and the Portuguese concept of saudade.
Scroll down for marginalia supplementing the audio portion of this episode, as well as subscription information and book links.
As ever, thank you for listening.
Mike
