The Paleface Parabola - 04-06-2025

Free FM

Caper 180 of the Paleface Parabola. An unusual trip befitting this unusual one hour and 58 minutes of mental gymnastics and mental hopscotch. If Hunter Thompson somehow beat the hangman years ago, he would have had ample fodder for a new Fear and Loathing screed should he have seen the behind the scenes shenanigans. Showbiz lore says that if you can walk, you can make the gig. We made the gig. We are here weekly to indulge in mental gymnastics and musical hopscotch. And in an unsafe June night, we did. The likes of Chris Whitley, Lee Dorsey, The Cramps, Te Vaka (The Mystery Man’s pick), John Hartford, and Mel Blanc from 1954, brought a splash of joy to our wading pool. A toast to the Mystery Man. He earned the keep he doesn’t make this week.
