Flagstaff, AZ – Tom Russell is the kind of songwriter who makes you want to start bad habits. His lyrics are bold and irreverent. He started his music career in the bars of Vancouver's skid row. Tonight, instead of a seedy smoke-filled bar, he's performing at the Cline Library auditorium at Northern Arizona University. Russell recently talked to Arizona Public Radio's Laurel Morales from his home in El Paso. Living so close to the border inspired his recent provocative song Whose Gonna Build Your Wall.
