A few posts ago, I made mention of Ken Bethea as a possible guest. I received a sniping email in reply, to the effect of, “anyone who writes a song about chicken ravioli obviously has no business talking about music.” To that person - and to all of you who think similarly - I agree with you. There is no room for songs about Cajuns and their microwaves. However, those same persons have never met Ken, like I’ve had the fortuitous opportunity to do. He’s tricky; that East Texas drawl belies sharp opinion and keen insight. And we are glad to have been able to record it for you.
We talked with Ken in two sections, originally intended to air some weeks apart. Because we’re already behind schedule, I’m posting them both, one today and the other tomorrow. Each show is just slightly over an hour.
In today’s show, we talk about and listen to:
Tomorrow’s show gets even more interesting, as we play the dconstruction gong show for the first time, a raucous rally through some of the many demos sent to us by bands. Come back tomorrow for this show and full notes.
Tearing it down,
