Song 184: “The Captain’s Fat Theresa Shoes” by the GTOs

from A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs · host Andrew Hickey

This episode took longer than normal to come up because, as you’ll see from the episode itself, I’m releasing it simultaneously with the next episode, on Frank Zappa. These two make up two parts of a three-part story, and I’m hoping to have part three, on Captain Beefheart, up before the end of the month. There will also be, between this and the next episode on the feed, a trailer for an exciting project I’m a minor part of. This episode is on “The Captain’s Fat Theresa Shoes” by the GTOs. Click the full post to read liner notes, links to more information, and a transcript of the episode. Patreon backers also have a half-hour bonus episode available, on “My Pal Foot-Foot” by the Shaggs. Tilt Araiza has assisted invaluably by editing, and will hopefully be doing so from now on.
