Episode #36 - They Call It Security a Song by Frankie M. on Discussions Hosted by Robert Simmons and Rita Fox

Hosts Robert Simmons and Rita Fox unpack Frankie M.'s gritty song "They Call It Security," tracing its cinematic setting by the Hudson, the weary narrator who calls himself "hired muscle," and the violent fate of Jimmy Bowe. They analyze how sparse, tactile imagery—rust, peeling paint, and a flickering lamp—builds a world where safety is an illusion.

Together they explore the central metaphor of the pale moonlight, the owners' indifference, and the cycle of violence that turns predators into prey. The episode closes on a haunting question: can the morning sun ever truly wash away these ghosts?
