NO CONDITION IS PERMANENT [Episode #207 ~ 11-16-19]
Pictured: Jonathan Richman.
Well, that was anything but your normal-formal Saturday evening at the Purple Bat Lounge. DJ Lee-Roy stated his case, straight out of the gate, that he belonged to the exploited underclass and wanted his co-host (and legal guardian AND the guy who pays for whatever it is that Uncle Morty brings to the front curb every week) Reeshard to do something about it. The source of the dog’s umbrage and newly politicized outlook? Why the Little Red Book, of course. Though as the evening proceeded, the tome in question was not the red book authored by Chairman Mao. It was, instead, this one, as provided by bartender LaWanda. And it did show Lee-Roy a lot that he hadn’t been getting. All this, as more than 30 stormin’ tunes played, The Madison staged a Dolomite double feature and the most famous pit bull on Brush Street searched for a Rasta date for the movies, with questionable success. It’s a lot to take in, we’ll admit, but listening makes it go down that much more easily. So click just down there and hear for yourself…
