This Sunday on "WHFR Presents"...
The sacred and profane have been part of popular music since the early days of Elvis Presley, Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis. WHFR host, Bill Keith, was recently listening to an Elvis Costello song and realized that the chorus was basically a prayer. He soon thought of so many other songs that combined prayers with music.
Listen Sunday, March 16, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. as he explores this influence of the divine with songs that are pious, and others that are filled with doubt and maybe some unbelief.

Please tune in to the WHFR Journal tomorrow, March 7 at 1pm as we share a rundown of some exciting activities happening here at Henry Ford College. We'll also kick off Women's History Month with a new PRX special program from the podcast series, Monumental, titled "The Suffragist in the Basement". When it comes to women and monuments in the U.S., we seem to prefer mythical or allegorical women. It’s rare to see real women being honored for their actual accomplishments. But for decades, there was one statue in Wyoming that was an exception.
