Kenneth O'Rourke's Podcast

Wow, the years were 2000-2004. I was living the life of "Marcus Graham"(Eddie Murphy in Boomerang) in my loft that overlooked the city of Atlanta. Long days at work turned into nights of XTC....nuff said. At any rate, while you get your minds out of the gutter, I was referring to the music at the time that served as refuge for me, especially after coming home late at night from work and grad-school. So, sit back and relax and enjoy the musical selections that will be coming through your system compliments of yours truly.
