Today we’ll be chatting with our Adult Kid, Barry Louis Polisar, a musician and storyteller who has been making kids and adults laugh while they think for over 40 years. In 2007, Jason Reitman, director of the movie Juno, called Barry and asked to license his song “All I Want is You.” For Reitman, “All I Want Is You” represented Juno’s transition. “That’s the most beautiful thing about Barry’s music,” he said. “It seems to cohabitate both worlds, being an adult and being a child.” I agree, and that’s why our Adult Kid this week is Barry Louis Polisar. (To hear the full interview, visit the Young At Heart Interview page.)
We’ll also be Talking Tunes with Brian and Tom – today’s tune is “Joining a Fan Club” by Jellyfish. And we’ll hear new music from kindie artists Ralph’s World, Lisa Loeb, Dan Zanes, Michael & the Rockness Monsters and the Alphabet Rockers.
Enjoy!
