Live Alone and Like It – Dick Tracy (with Alex Asp)
Episode description
From the radio plays the crooner hit "Live Alone and Like It." But is it possible this song is really talking about Dick Tracy himself? Or The Kid? Or even Warren Beatty! Alex Asp returns to pick apart a song that, at first glance, may appear to be slight but actually has some depth.
