Dan Epstein was the guest on Listen Up!.  Dan is an award-winning journalist and contributing columnist to Rolling Stone. His latest book, Big Hair and Plastic Grass: A Funky Ride Through Baseball and America in the Swinging ’70s, has just been released in paperback. We chatted about his book, his Rolling Stone column “High and Tight” – where Rock & Roll Baseball experts talk about the national pastime and the worlds where baseball and rock music collide and mesh. There was also dose of sludgy 70’s space rock, and other sounds from the 70’s. A couple tunes about baseball were tossed into the show as well.
