Don't Go Away

Andy Kaufman, Johnny Carson, Warren Beatty, David Letterman… 
Author and celebrity profile writer Bill Zehme has never shied away from enigmatic subjects. In fact, he’s always been drawn to the seemingly unknowable figures in our popular culture. In today’s episode we talk to the man that Cameron Crowe called “The King Of The First Sentence” about his legendary career, his forthcoming Johnny Carson biography, the death of the magazine, and what got him through his 2-year battle with cancer. Also on the podcast, in light of the ongoing controversies regarding presidential candidates’ appropriating rock songs as their campaign songs, (ie. the case of Neil Young v. Donald Trump) Hog Butcher Radio Player Joey Lesiak offers up an original tune for the Trump campaign that the Donald can call his own. And to close things out, a haunting number from the captivating Cheryl Tomblin and Pipes.

The Tall Pauls - A Man Called AArrow

Chris Stolte comes from St. Louis. But he’s a Chicago actor if ever there was one. Since the early nineties, he’s been a veteran of theaters like Steppenwolf,  A Red Orchid, Goodman…   For years, he seemed to appear in every movie that was shot in Chicago- “Road To Perdition”, “Stranger than Fiction,” “Public Enemies “…. And maybe most memorably, “Law Abiding Citizen” where he played the horrible son of a bitch who pissed off Gerard Butler. Then after two decades of somehow making it work here in Chicago, Dick Wolf rolled into town and Chicago turned out to be the perfect place to be. Stolte landed the role of Mouch on the hit series, Chicago Fire and “all of a sudden,” he’s a network television star. But don’t tell him that. He’ll give you that look.  On this episode of the Hog Butcher Radio Hour, we talk to Chris about all of this and more. So much more, in fact, that this will be Part 1 of 2. And, oh yes, we close it all out with a great and somehow timely song by Oak Park’s own Terry White.


Episode 9, Part 1- Christian Stolte

“We should open a bar.” Many have thought it, but Bill FitzGerald actually did it.  And now 37 years later, he seems genuinely surprised at the emotional response to the news that he’s retiring and possibly selling his legendary nightclub, Fitzgeralds.  In our far flung conversation, Bill talks about how it all started, how a trip to New Orleans opened his eyes to the possibilities, how he met his wife and partner in crime, Kate, years before he actually met her, and how a steady parade of musical greats have marched through Berwyn to play on a stage in a club like no other. 
Also, later in the show, Sue Salvi has a beef with Amazon.

2020 unveiled some deep rooted angst that I decided to put to music. I pulled from my industrial and blues influences and decided to dip my toe in electronic pool. Definitely a track to lace up your boots to.
Recorded in my home studio. All instruments  performed and digitized by yours truly.

Cheryl Lynn Tomblin aka PIPES was born in Ronceverte, WV but grew up in Maywood, IL. She began playing violin at 10 years and belonged to the Merit School of Music for four years until graduating and attending Carnegie Mellon University where she continued to develop her musical craft. At the age of 17 she picked up the guitar which propelled her into the arena that is musicianship.

Cheryl released her first EP "Allow Me the Pleasure"  under her moniker PIPES in 2012 and response and reviews of the album were extremely positive. The three song EP employs a minimalism that is both haunting and hypnotic, relying solely on the two instruments, guitar and vocal. The second PIPES EP "Those Ramblings on the Wall," released under Wire Recorders, was more produced as it included additional guitar (Dave Walker), Bass (Mike Krayniak) and Drums (Ryan Shepherd).  The full length album for "Mockingbird" is a long time coming. Cheryl decided to go under her songwriter name to take her music into a more personal space. This album, full of dark musings and contemplative desires, pulls from many of her influences such as Cassandra Wilson, Chris Cornell, John Lee Hooker and Jerry Cantrell. 

Cheryl's music and lyrics have been described as being dark and melancholy, holding the audience captivated by cyclic guitar riffs, poignant and smoky vocal undertones.
