It’s a new year for WAFFLES!, and Matt’s sister suggested “Epiphanies” as a topic of choice — so here we go into 2019! From the composed-for-Epiphany music of Benjamin Britten to the sardonic snark of a young Momus, from the nasal meanderings of Bob Dylan to the full-throated belt of Etta James covering Bob Dylan, we’re epiphanying all over the place this week!
Plus: does Bruce Springsteen have a nickname? How do wizards poop? And does Wizard Music suck? A long digression into why the Harry Potterverse might not be all it’s cracked up to be.
