Musician Daryl Hance joins us to discuss the fourth album from the Police “Ghost in the Machine.”  Plenty of discussion about MTV, speaking French, Sandra Bullock and “Demolition Man,” alpha males & omega males, and more.  Dissecting any Police record is a lot of fun and doing it with Daryl was a blast. Y'all go check out his last album "Devil's Milhopper." It's one part 70s rock (ala Black Sabbath or maybe Mountain) and one part Jesus and Mary Chain. Yeah, it sounds bizarre, right? It is.
