Finale
Show 100: Runoff Blues
The finale is a runoff in the old river sense, everything that kept flowing after the channels were cut. It works as a greatest-hits coda and a personal summing-up, gathering favorites and essentials from across the whole hundred-show run to prove the series was never one narrow story but a whole floodplain of American music.
