Another National Anthem – Assassins (with Charlotte LeMay)

What do we think the other national anthem actually sounds like? Charlotte LeMay returns to offer opinions on why Samuel Byck should be the main character of this song, and the disillusionment of the American Dream.

We are using three productions to frame our discussion of Assassins.
