Born Under a Band's Sign

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010

Today on the show we welcome guest Ian Van Tuyl, author of the book Popstrology: The Art and Science of Reading the Pop Stars. Do you think you know what star you were born under? Think again! Van Tuyl has created a new method of self-discovery: examining not the stars in the sky, but the pop stars on the charts. Do you think Popstrology is clever? Do you think it's crazy? Let us know as we take listener calls.
