Mike Stephen checks in with independent journalist Lee V. Gaines for an update on Cook County's ruling on what is "fine art" and their pursuit of back taxes from small music venues; talks with Chicago Loot Drop chairman Mike Chuck about "Press START To Drink," their 7th annual holiday fundraiser for University of Chicago Medicine Comer Children's Hospital; and chats with Plastic Crimewave (aka Steve Krakow) about early '80s ska band Rude Guest for this week's "The Fall of Punk" edition of The Secret History of Chicago Music. Meanwhile, we play a voicemail from #1 OTL fan Mrs. Stephen... who's always looking out for her son's safety! This week's local music is provided by Gramps The Vamp.
