My all-time favorite podcast is a tribute to one of the greatest film composers by a man who is known primarily as a cantankerous political and social commentator. Mark Steyn and guests like David Arnold and Tim Rice provided a remarkably entertaining, informative retrospective and commentary on the works of John Barry, who wrote the music for most of the James Bond films and other classics like The Lion in Winter, Born Free and many more.
Music, as far as I know, is not on the agenda for Steynamite tomorrow at the Toronto Convention Centre, where Steyn will do what he's known for best - talk about the decline and fall of western civilization. Steyn will be joined by Sun TV host and author Michael Coren for a strictly non-musical duet of straight-up, politically incorrect talk which is ironically billed as "Mark Steyn violates your human rights."
The irony being that such talk isn't a violation, but an assertion of human rights, those being the most basic rights of free speech and free thought, which Canada's political and social elites have been eroding for the last 35 years.
You can still get tickets for Steynamite through this link. Do it now, before what you hear there does become a Canadian thought crime!
