Question about the former Robert Taylor Homes in Chicago.

Has anybody else seen "The Way" with Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez?

It's about a man who walks the Camino de Santiago in honor of his son, who died in an accident when he started the walk himself. I wanna walk the Camino. Has anybody done that?

Ladies and gentlemen, the immortal Hazel Dickens.

Got a great edition of "Harlan County USA".
