Prolific UK author,\xa0respected music journalist, and all-around\xa0great guy Joel McIver joins me via Skype from across the pond to discuss all manner of things, including the dark details\xa0inside Soft Cell's\xa0lyrics, a Ronnie James Dio children's song (seriously!), and the\xa0curious punk rock absurdity\xa0behind\xa0Kim Wilde's "Kids in America".
