    Chainsaw Hayride

    This little story has nothing to do with the original Chainsaw Hayride, Ron Royster’s rowdy 1980s DJ set on my college radio station, WXYC Chapel Hill. But it does feature chainsaws. And for more than 40 years now, whenever I hear a chainsaw I think “Chainsaw Hayride!” A few notes: * Apologies for mispronouncing anyone’s name (probably botched Scott Afzal, the key mover behind the focus of this episode). * See more of Paul Waclo’s work on his website. * Photos and a couple of videos of the Lafayette bear project, including the finished piece, work in progress, and a photo of the remains of Romulus prior to the bear transformation. * For more info on Lafayette Park, including the somewhat recent addition of Pointer to its name, check out Friends of Lafayette-Pointer Park. The group also deserves credit for putting its support behind Scott’s brilliant idea. And shout out to anyone else involved! (I would say “appreciate you” but I would appreciate it if we moved on from that phrase.) * Full cut of the song sampled for open and close is here. This is a public episode.
