KCRW Broadcast 824

Fanatic. I hope you had a good week. Hopefully the winds that have been feeding the fires in Southern California are pulling back and allowing firefighting personnel to make advances against the flames.

One of our listeners has lost his home. This is his gofundme.compage.

There are people who are unfortunately politicizing this catastrophe. Please do not lose sight of the hard fact that a lot of good people are suddenly without a home to live in, a school to go to or much else but the clothes. This is not the time to point fingers. Clean up, restoration, and the other heavy lifts will be costly and take years to complete.

Fanatic, as you’re probably well aware, days ago, we lost the great film director David Lynch. I had the good fortune to be in one of his films and to have visited with him on many occasions. Our conversations were always fascinating, ranging from music to art to whatever else was on his mind. My manager, Heidi reminded me that years ago. She and I did a podcast of me recounting stories from being with David. I thought you might like to hear it, so here’s the address.

We have a tremendous gathering of tunes for you tonight. Hopefully, you’ll have a really great time listening. Have a good weekend, play as much music as you can until we meet again next week and stay Fanatic.
