New Jersey vs. Long Island: Where's the Better Music?
Last week, organizers announced a Long Island Music Hall of Fame, whose first inductees include Billy Joel, Dee Snider of Twisted Sister, Vanilla Fudge, Mose Allison, and Harry Chapin. At the same time, there's a music hall of fame in the works for New Jersey as well. Today, the organizers of both halls join us as we ask: Tony Bennett or Frank Sinatra? Bruce Springsteen or Billy Joel? Yo La Tango versus Blue Oyster Cult? Also: Folk singer Maria Muldaur made it big in the 70s with the hit "Midnight At The Oasis." She joins us to talk about her tribute to the love songs of Bob Dylan.
