A STEREO Concert and interview with singer/songwriter and musician DAVE ALVIN. He's best known for his guitar "firepower" with the Blasters (for which he was also primary composer and songwriter). He also had a short stint with the band X. ALVIN went solo a few years ago, and began honing his voice. He's just released his third solo album -- his first accoustic one -- "King of California" (HighTone Records). One reviewer wrote of ALVIN that he's "one of the few artists capable of drawing on the spirits of both Woody Guthrie and Johnny 'Guitar' Watson for a populist vision of storytelling in a bluesy setting." (THIS INTERVIEW CONTINUES INTO THE SECOND HALF OF THE SHOW).

2: Part TWO of the interview with journalists DONALD BARLETT and JAMES STEELE. Their reports from the front pages of the "Philadelphia Inquirer" later became the book "America: What went Wrong"; it was a bestseller for eight months, and added fuel to the fire of the 1992 Election. Their new book of investigative reporting is "America: Who Really Pays the Taxes?" (Simon & Schuster). They argue the middle class has been soaked by the current tax system; that the same dollar earned by a neighborhood grocer is taxed more than if it was earned by a foreign corporation doing business here. .
