Listen "JTE Mix Tape "
Episode Synopsis
In an alternate reality version of 2020, we might have spent damn near the entire episode celebrating the 45th anniversary of Bruce Springsteen's Born To Run. Unfortunately, the 2020 we did get continues to kick us in the collective 'nards, then laugh as we gasp for breath. This week alone, marked by senseless acts of police brutality & vigilante violence in Kenosha, and the RNC's funhouse mirror spin on reality, was nothing short of horrifically surreal. The cherry atop the sundae of suck dropped on Sunday with the untimely passing of insanely talented 38-year old singer / songwriter Justin Townes Earle. No, wait...as I type this the news just broke that Chadwick Boseman died. No! Not T'Challa! Rest in power, fellas. We honor the late JTE this week with our extended 25-song mix tape. As we flip the tape, we take a brief intermission to spend a little quality time with the superlative new record from world-class interpreter of song, Bettye LaVette. Then we bookend the whole damn affair with a couple iconic moments from the aforementioned 45-year old classic album. All this & much, much less! Debts No Honest Man Can Pay is over 2 rock-solid hours of musical eclectica & other noodle stories. The show started in 2003 at WHFR-FM (Dearborn, MI), moved to WGWG-FM (Boiling Springs, NC) in 2006 & Plaza Midwood Community Radio (Charlotte, NC) in 2012, with a brief pit-stop at WLFM-FM (Appleton, WI) in 2004.
