The Paleface Parabola - 06-11-2024

The Paleface Parabola - 06-11-2024
Please remember, and don’t ever forget that many of us in America embrace Woody Guthrie’s sentiments expressed in This Land Is Your Land and covered notably by Mojo Nixon & Skid Roper in 1989. We ran out of time to play it on caper 151 and trust me, it’s the national anthem for outsiders like us. As a mea culpa and holding action alike, we submit Ry Cooder submitting John Lee Hooker for President... ignoring that pesky fact that the Hook has been dead for a generation. I did see an Insta photo of Jacinda in a tee shirt that said KIND today, and I thought I wish you could run for office here. Fantasy aside, this week’s Parabola showcases the musical likes of Billy Hector, Stuff Smith, Jo Jo Zepp & the Falcons, Steel Pulse, and the Mystery Man’s choice to thrill you this week is magic indeed. And yes, I know I talked too much. I'm working on it...
