Fat-In

The No Show | Mar 30, 2010
Steve Post can't remember where he left the dead horse he usually beats, so instead he gives us career advice: become a drummer, not an army recruiter. (In his view, that pretty much summarizes the options.) Steve is joined on air by "meta-expert" Israel Danish, who gives Steve an education in plumbing. (Everyone should have a fall-back skill.) And Steve reminisces briefly on the high point of his career, the 1968 Central Park "Fat-In." The music is a rich diet.
