Perfectly Good Podcast - John Hiatt from A to Z

Join your hosts Jesse Jackson and Sylvan Groth, one of whom may have had a Pink Bedroom of their own, as we discuss a song from John Hiatt's Two Bit Monsters.

We review some wonderful covers of the song about the girl who's got it's all before breaking down all the lyrics and unpacking some musical similarities to Neil Diamond?

Does this early song in the Hiatt catalog deserve more stars than the hosts dole out? Be sure to tell us after you check our youtube playlist with all the covers.

Hosts Jesse Jackson and Sylvan Groth get help from 5-time returning guest Mike Blanchard of the GeekCast Radio Network to discuss "Permanent Hurt." After sharing some facts and statistics about this song from John Hiatt's 1993 album Perfectly Good Guitar, we break down the lyrics and reveal what we each heard and misheard in those days before the Internet and AI could tell us what we should make of any song.

Do the Catholic imagery or crunchy Guilty Dog guitars give this song an extra star for you? Let us know how you'd rate.

How would you rate the title track from John Hiatt's 1993 album? Does being a guitar player make it easier to give a bonus point? Does watching the clip from the Tonight Show with Jay Leno sway you up or down?
