Harry Shearer's 'Le Show' on NPR...

Whatever you think of his humor or his weekly satirization of the Bush administration and other icons this guy has a hell of a record collection! In Philly at 4:00 PM Sunday afternoons I'm glued to NPR and “Le Show” for a number of reasons but primarily for the obscure music of a number genres (mostly obscure rock and blues)he inserts in-between his segments of satire.
I'm trying to figure a way to learn more about the music he plays and the possibility of the existence of a record collection I'd die for.
Anyone else a fan???

I agree NPR is too right wing, but Le Show gets more to the center. Harry has done some film work which you can search. He has a nice taste in music, narrow but worthwhile.
Music cuts across all barriers, from the Nazi through the Soviet to Woodstock and Newport. I do not know if music can make a common ground. But no nasty force can kill it.
As Twain said, "We are all cracked in the head, and sorely in need of mending."
Peace to all of you fine folk and hopes for a fine Labor Day!

I've listened and find him witless. The music is good,but really, one Jon Stewart bit is worth Harry's whole show.
