September 3rd, 2017 - Walter Becker, then Wonderful Weirdos Day

Word came just before today's broadcast that guitar legend, Walter Becker, half of the famed group Steely Dan, had passed away due to complications from surgery. So the first segment is the Reverend's tribute to Walter. Afterwards, he returns to the original focus of today's program, celebrating Wonderful Weirdos Day on September 9th! The Rev discusses the origins of the word "Weird," why weird is something to celebrate, the benefits of being weird (as opposed to being "normal"), and his reflections on being a life-long weirdo.
