Vicki Abelson's Broadcast: The Road Taken

Amazing conversation with the always entertaining Jim Beaver, who talked current events, growing up in Texas unfocused, doing a load of theatre, and then the life changer... there were two... and a lot of stories. Jim speaks of his heroes, and why they are, and, the one who fell from grace for lack of grace. What it took to get "there," what he thinks it takes... precious takeaways applicable to pretty much everything ... read, study, never be the reason something goes south, never hold up the action (post-show he added, preparedness. Be ready.) We talked Deadwood, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Justified, Supernatural, Tom Hanks, John Wayne, Norman Jewison. What's next... a new play at Theatre West, a comedic western, The Night Forlorn, Or, Waitin' On Godsford. Coming in March. Spending time with Jim is always time well spent. There were shout-outs to Birthday Boy Rick Smolke, Ricky Byrd's new CD Clean Getaway, intended to help kids stay sober, with The Coolest Song of the week on Little Steven's Undergrou
