Summary

It's Bonus Song Thursday! This week Bill and Brian discuss how this Prince-penned song struck that sweet spot of early 90s production and - yes - also about the other thing O'Connor became known for once it became a hit. They also make a few corrections regarding T. Rex's origins and hit on what exactly can be defined as nostalgia. All this and more on this week's Bonus Song Thursday edition of The Great Albums podcast!

0:00.0	It's been seven hours and 15 days since you took your love away. Hello I go out every night I go out every night and sleep

1:28.1	And I think that this song is interesting because 90% of the people out there, by the way,
