“Paper Moon”, “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?”, “Over the Rainbow”. These are the songs you have been singing your whole life, and now is your chance to learn about who wrote them! In this week’s episode, feast your ears on a wealth of knowledge as we pull back the curtain on Yip Harburg, “Broadway’s social conscience” who was unique among his peers for always integrating his worldviews into his shows and songs. From articulating the struggles of the Great Depression to daring listeners to dream, Yip Harburg seamlessly weaved politics and prose together, and in doing so, crafted a musical fabric now embedded into the zeitgeist of American musical culture. Immerse yourself in the story of Harburg and his lasting legacy, as told by cultural icon Rufus Wainwright, Yip Harburg’s son Ernie, and more!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
