Thomas Frank, best-selling author of "The Wrecking Crew" and "What’s the matter with Kansas?", hosted the 8am hour on KPFK on Tuesday September 23.  Tom spoke with Jon Wiener and KPFK Senior Producer Alan Minsky about the state of the economy, the presidential election, and how he came to write left-wing opinion pieces for the right-wing Wall Street Journal Op-ed page.  Tom also played some of his favorite songs, and related why these tunes continue to resonate and inspire.
