WUNC's Songs We Love Podcast

Songs We Love is a series and a podcast that looks at the stories behind some of the songs we're playing on our new music discovery stream, WUNC Music.

This time Eric Hodge speaks with Rick Miller of Southern Culture On The Skids about the song "Freak Flag" off of the band's 2016 album The Electric Pinecones.

Miller says it's a song with a pretty simple message about being yourself. The band debuted the song at an elementary school fundraiser where it became an instant hit.

"The kids dug it! We figured if the kids dig it, everybody's gonna dig it."
