This week Boiling Frogs Show brings to you an unusual segment. Peter B. and I decided to have a show where we just talk-talking the talk. The day we recorded this show my mood was totally affected by Jeremy Hammond’s speech during his sentencing session. We talked about that.

Edwin Starr – “War”
We had a request for tonight’s Soothing the Beast BFP/Jamiol Music Pick. The song is “War” and singing this revered protest classic is none other than the man that made it a such a famous hit, Edwin Starr. While he couldn’t match what he did with War, he had several Top Ten hits on the R&B charts. So tonight it’s truly a classic with Starr’s live performance of War…Enjoy…DJPJ.
