Fascinatin' Rhythm: Hart on the Heart, 09/08/18

Songwriter Lorenz Hart
A&E Biography
Songwriter Lorenz Hart

Episode # 1836

9/8       Hart on the Heart  Lorenz Hart was a tortured soul who somehow managed to write about love and romance. It helped that his viewpoint was ambiguous, even bittersweet, and always laced with a dose of irony. More then any other songwriter, he knew all there was to know about “the self-deception that believes the lie.”
