Break the Chain with guest Stephanie Crean – 20-02-2025

Free FM

*content warning* We do not speak much about the devastating events that shaped her life due to their heinous nature and the effects that they have left on her family and community. When Stephanie was just 2 years old, 4 men were ordered to murder her father. The first time they arrived at their house her was holding Stephanie in his arms, she was just 2 years old at the time. They were ordered to return and kill her even if he was holding his 2-year-old daughter. When he returned to the door he was not holding Stephanie and was tragically murdered. By the estimations of many these acts were unforgivable, however, after seeing the suffering that the events of the past were bringing to family and community she realised, on a deep level, that she had to make a change. In the morning, in the early hours, she wrote a letter addressed to the 4 men who had killed her father (Chris Crean). In that letter, Stephanie expresses complete and compassionate forgiveness for these men – “so that you may have peace and I too. So that our families may have peace, and so that the community may have peace also. So that the nation may have peace, because that is what is right.” There was a recent movie made about the killing of her father titled “Resolve”.

Free FM

Caper 162 of the Paleface Parabola... A quest we undertook while understanding that no matter what, the man has NOT been our music. Yet! Music is a safe haven. It's a refuge, as opposed to getting in a plane and hoping that you are not crash number six for 2025 in the US, so that escape ploy is grounded before liftoff. What takes flight is the Mystery Man and mine’s mambo. Shining Stars of the two-hour tour de farce include The Chambers Brothers, Lee Morgan, The Pogues, Albert Ammons, Spirit, and the cherry on top on top of the transatlantic pie is Orchestre National De Barbes. We just built the music pyramid. It's now your turn to come big game hunting.
