EPISODE SUMMARY:

Is the music more important than the message? Is the context more important than the content? Is an artist's influence more important than their individual projects? These are all worthy questions when considering indie rock darling Liz Phair's 1993 debut album Exile in Guyville. And comedian Ari Shaffir has no problem unpacking all of them in this honest and interesting discussion.
