The Worst Soy Latte: Why Do People Hate Train?
Manage episode 296982100 series 2872215
For over 20 years, the band Train has been a mainstay on radio and Billboard charts, selling over 10 million albums and 30 million tracks worldwide. Yet, they are a constant source of frustration for people who think their music is safe and their lyrics are cringey and lazy. I talk to friends and music critics to find out how they got this reputation, and if it actually holds up to a deep dive into their music. Along the way, I ask questions like:
Is Patrick Monahan a self-aware lyricist? Is "Hey Soul Sister" about tokenizing a black woman? Can radishes be tasty if you put enough ranch dressing on them?
