It's A Shame About Ray with Seamus McCarthy

Spiders. Blowfish. House Keys. Ray is having another tough day in his already tough life, but that doesn’t stop him from sharing his profound philosophies that keep him going. As he and Douglas make their way through Chicago they talk about love, family, Mark McGwire and McDonalds in the Anthem of Ray. Enjoy.OUR GUEST: Seamus McCarthySeamus McCarthy is a Chicago-style actor/writer/improviser who is often seen hanging around with similar people and occasionally seen performing with them at local Los Angeles theaters such as the Lyric Hyperion. He continues to be mistaken for being the brother of actress Jean Villepique, which has been going on since the late 1990s. Seamus is a lifelong friend of The Annoyance theater in Chicago.THE SONG:It’s A Shame About Ray is the title track of the Lemonheads 5th studio album, released in June of 1992.  At the time of principal recording, the band consisted of Evan Dando (lead vocals, guitar), Juliana Hatfield (bass, backing vocals) and David Ryan (drums). The Lemonheads were formed in Boston in 1986 and Evan Dando has been the only constant band member out of more than 25 members in total. The tune was inspired by a quote that Evan Dando had seen in a Sydney Australia newspaper in reference to a kid called Ray who kept getting kicked out of every school he went to.
