## Resource

This is the part where we talk about what the episode is about. But what if we... can't ? What if we have no earthly idea what to even say about it? Not because it's bad (which it isn't), or because it goes in a hundred different directions (which it... okay yeah it totally does that). But moreso that it's so meta in nature that to describe the thing would be to transcribe the whole episode. And who has time for that? What with all the 11 PM ravioli and Italian sausage that there is to consume? I'm not speaking from experience, YOU'RE speaking from exeprience. Anydangway, I'm gonna do my best here: we talk about songs that are popular, and songs that are great, and what sets each of those admittedly-vague concepts apart (and also what brings them together). How's THAT for a description? Bad? It's bad you say? Hmm. Well I can't really improve on it, so I guessssss you'll have to listen to the episode. Let us know what you thought about... whatever the hell it was... in all the usual ways: Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/fairlykickass.bsky.social Instagram: https://instagram.com/fairlykickass TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fairlykickass Threads: https://www.threads.net/@fairlykickass Website (for Ride-Along Playlists): https://fairlykickass.com/ Next week: we travel from West Philadelphia to Miami, with a quick stop-off in the Wild Wild West, as well as a soon-to-be extra-terrestrial-riddled New York City. (For real this time... we said that last week, but my wires were crossed, and they've since been uncrossed, so enjoy these free and clear wires for a change. Don't get used to it!) Join us for what ended up being a harrowing journey through a certain artist's discography. This week? Just one thing on the calendar: Keep. Kicking. Ass.
