In this super-special episode, Koz talks with the man who's written over 1000 songs that have defined the American pop music era, then plays a few favorites: "Tears of a Clown," "I Second that Emotion," "The Tracks of My Tears" and "Cruisin'" among them. . Smokey is a feisty, funny interview, even revealing that he has come up with some of his classics while on the toilet. But he also discusses the state of pop songwriting today, the election, his creative process and why he feels better today at 76 than 36. Great stuff!
