This is possibly the most intense episode of Bill and Frank's Guilt-Free Pleasures to date. We are joined by our good friend Chris Koop (of the band Lunipeer) to have a friendly debate about who gave us the best "Forever Young" out of Bob Dylan, Rod Stewart, and Alphaville. When it comes to defending a song, a friendly debate can become acrimonious quickly. Don't worry, our band doesn't break up by the end of the episode, but we do learn some valuable lessons. Thank you for listening to our show
