Episode Twelve: The Education of Two Dudes

We had an idea what our audience was thinking by the time we got to our dozenth show: Where did Two Dudes come from? What formed them? Is this overwhelming mass of musical knowledge for real? Well, the answer is yes to all three questions, and today's episode will explain why. Two Dudes presents to you an autobiographical affair, with songs that define eras, drum up painful memories, cause paranoia, and everything in between. This show, for the Two Dudes audience, will be similar to reading Dylan's Chronicles, Volume 1: it all finally falls into place, and the picture is clearer yet more elusive than before (and it's in the ultimate bargain bin: the internet!).

Though most of these artists need it much less than musicians we usually play, please support them all (even if it's just through your viewership of their Behind the Music).
