If you don't listen to Sound Opinions on Chicago Public Radio ... well... you know what I'm going to say next. Regardless of your own personal tastes, its great to hear two critics (Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot) who are geniunely passionate about music, and their range of knowledge is quite staggering. In fact it borders on frightening. I've always been in awe of people who can rattle off facts, stories, and general minutiae about bands with the greatest of ease. Sure, most people can do it for a few of their favorites, but to listen to 2 humans sound like a virtual music catalog, and still add personality and charisma to the discussion is a real joy to hear.

Tonight, they are appearing at the Music Box Theatre in Lakeview for a special screening of Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten. When the film is over, they'll be doing a Q&A session for those in attendance. When the night is over, even if you are a huge fan of The Clash, you will most definitely leave more enlightened than when you walked in.
