The '90s alternative group Soul Coughing was a counterpoint to the grunge era, with lyrics inspired by Beat poetry and hip hop rhymes. Frontman Mike Doughty's second solo album, "Golden Delicious," lends that style to songs about the war in Iraq and explorations of '80s culture. He joins us for a live performance.

i went to go see mike in philly during his 2002 *skittish* (cd that warner bro. rejected, i presume) tour he did out of a "rental car" as he just said, and he's truly inspirational to those who want to try to make it DIY style.
