9:30 Coffee Break: Four Emotions

February 05, 2014

Earlier this morning we were discussing a recent study that found humans only have four emotions that they express: happy, sad, afraid/surprised, and angry/disgusted. We can debate whether or not there are really only four emotions, but for today's Coffee Break we'll play along with the study.

What songs do you want to hear that feature one (or more) of the emotions from the study in the title or lyrics? Give us your emotional song suggestions.

Do you want a break? Jill and Steve will give you a Coffee Break on the Road with treats and coffee from JJ's Coffee and Wine Bistro and music from local band Carroll. Just email to enter: CoffeeBreak@TheCurrent.org
