The Chain with Britt Aylen

In this episode, Britt takes a trip to India (not really) to find the link between Rage Against the Machine’s Killing in the Name and The Beatles’ Dear Prudence.

A huge thank-you to Brett Marley for voicing the angry tweet, and to Rhys Auteri for his expert explanation of drop D tuning.
