Best First Lines…Songs
Some songs grab you before you even know what’s happening. In this episode of The Blue Plate Special, Andy Andrews takes a look at the greatest opening lines in the history of popular music — the kind that pull you in, set a scene, or stop you cold before the second line even arrives. You might be surprised which ones made the list, and which ones you’ve been singing your whole life without ever stopping to think about just how good they really are.
Bas Gas and Good People
Howard Peel had a plan…get his wife Sonya to the Gulf Coast for a special trip.

Art Is Just a Fancy Word for Seeing
We reserve the word “art” for people with extraordinary talent—painters who capture light on canvas, poets who make language sing, sculptors who free figures from stone. But what if we’ve been thinking about it all wrong? What if art isn’t really about skill at all, but about something much simpler and more accessible? Something children do naturally until we teach them to stop. This piece explores a different way of seeing creativity—one that changes everything about how we notice beauty, meaning, and our connection to something eternal.

Virginia Irwin: How a Food Writer Made History in WWII
She started as a food editor at a St. Louis newspaper—a job she found downright insulting. But when World War II broke out, Virginia Irwin had bigger plans. She wasn’t interested in recipes or dinner parties. She wanted the front lines. And in April 1945, when American correspondents were banned from entering Berlin, she found a way in anyway. How did a food writer from Missouri become one of the first Americans to witness the fall of Berlin?
