Airs 21-27 August 1995


If you've been listening to THE DIFFERENCE for a while now, you already know where to tune for two hours of the best music and conversation with today's brightest musicians. If you haven't been listening, then this is the perfect week to start... our most jam-packed episode EVER is on tap this time out...

CHRIS ISAAK's an international star of stage and screen, adored by billions. And yet, why are his songs SO SAD? This week on THE DIFFERENCE, you'll hear his answer, plus some in-studio shenanigans with Chris and the boys from his band...

When was the last time you bought shoes? Remember that clerk - they could be famous someday, just like JILL SOBULE. Jill shares some war stories from the retail trenches of New York, and plays for us in the relatively safe climes of the Difference compound...

Where do you draw the line between truth and fiction when you're a hit songwriter? We'll find out from PATTY LARKIN, who performs a tune from her recently released sixth album...

PLUS... live music from MATTHEW SWEET, WILCO and BOZ SCAGGS, and great tunes from LITTLE FEAT, JOHN WESLEY HARDING, ALANIS MORISSETTE, MC 900 FOOT JESUS, WIDESPREAD PANIC and many many more... plus the music and musings of your master of ceremonies - TODD RUNDGREN.

All that - this week on THE DIFFERENCE!
