159 Music Vs Words (otis redding/radiohead, Ben E King/Death cab)

Every song is two songs. The music and the lyrics. What are they saying to us and why?
First I go over the news stories because the mainstream media won't cover anything honestly, then we take a deep dive into music.
After yesterday's Bono episode I wanted to listen to good music being sung by a good man. So let's talk Otis Redding. Let's also discuss the hypnotic effect of music and how it can be used for nefarious reasons.
Also talking about ginsberg, acosta, and more news

If it wasn't for my dad's weiner and my mom's "ok," there would be no Owen Benjamin. Piano brought me to stand up comedy. I've had two Comedy Central specials. I'm tall but suck at basketball, I'm smart but can't spell, I'm nice but kind of a dick.

I've been in some movies: House Bunny, Staten Island Summer w/ SNL cast, Bucky Larson w/ Nick Swardson, Jack and Jill w/ Adam Sandler.

Also some TV shows: Sullivan and Son - produced by Vince Vaughn, Leno, Fallon, and Bar Rescue.

You may have seen/heard me in podcasts: Joe Rogan, Adam Corolla, Steven Crowder, and the Impractical Jokers podcast.
