Doug MacLeod - Crazy Chester Radio Hour Episode 50

They call themselves patriots; yet so full of hate it's more accurate to call them 'hatriots'.

The Hatriot

“It’s Just a Piece of Paper” is a rebellious and gritty anthem. It confronts the illusion of money’s power and the submission it demands. With sharp lyrics, a slow-burning groove, and a stripped-down, haunting outro, this song exposes the system’s game and chooses fire, truth, and freedom over gold and paper. For those who still stand unbent.

It's Just a Piece of Paper

Raw one-take blues - guitar, harp, kick, and soul live with PAN.

A raw, unfiltered blues jam recorded live today with PAN on guitar, harmonica, vocals, and electronic kick drum. Captured in the moment with nothing more than a pair of earbuds, this performance carries the grit and spontaneity of true street-corner blues. The driving rhythm, wailing harp, and soulful guitar licks come together in a one-take session that’s as imperfect as it is alive.
Pure, stripped-down blues energy — no polish, just heart.

Live Blues Jam

Most people consider life a battle,
But it is not a battle,
It is a game.
 It is a game,
however, which cannot be played successfully
Without the knowledge of spiritual law

Game, Law; Game, Law
Game, Law; Game, Law

The old and the New Testaments
Give the rules of the game
With wonderful clrearness

What you gives, you will receive

Jesus Christ taught that
It was a great game of
Giving and Receiving

Whatsoever a man soweth
That shall he also reap

Soweth... reap...
Soweth... reap...

This means that whatever man
Sends out in word or
Deed, will return to him

What he gives, he will receive

If he gives hate
He will receive hate
If he gives love
He will receive love
If he gives criticism
He will receive criticism
If he lies
He will be lied to
If he cheats
He will be cheated

Give and receive
Sow and reap
Circle complete
Circle complete

We are thought also
That the imaging faculty plays
A leading part in the
Game of life.

This means that what man images
Sooner or later externalises
in his affairs

To play successfully
the game of life
We must train the imaging faculty

A person with an imaging faculty
Trained to image only good
Brings into his life
Every righteous desire of his heart

Health, wealth, love, friends
Perfect self expression
His highest ideals.

Game, Law
Sow and reap
Give and receive
Image the good
And it shall be
Game of Life
Sets spirit free

The Game

Wake Up Dead Man

Grim Sleeper Blues

Big Eyed Rabbit

Cross Roads Blues: The Devil Don't Wait

This is country-blues —simple, steady, and straight from the gut. It’s a song about circling back to the truth you keep trying to outrun, fighting the same old ghosts, and learning to stand tall even when life keeps knocking you down.

The verses lean into that worn-in, dusty-boots storytelling. The pre-chorus lifts the weight just enough to breathe, and the chorus hits with that honest, soul-bruised resolve that makes country-blues feel real.

If you’ve ever tried to walk away from something your heart ain’t done with… this one’s for you. Turn it up, let it ride, and feel those blues settle in.



Till I Get It Right

Raised in Concrete Washington, I learned to play the guitar when I was 12 years old.  We had a music teacher by the name of Daryl Cooper who was like my older brother.  He started a guitar class and I couldn't wait to be in it.  By the 2nd or 3rd week I had probably outgrown the class but I enjoyed every minute of it.  I was in his band by the time I was 14 playing dances all over Western Washington.  I was awarded the National Choral Award Scholarship my senior year of high school.  This goes to one student in the United States.  I wasn't smart enough to use it.  I joined the United States Navy in 1979 and stayed for almost 22 years.  During that time I was a submariner and eventually the pilot of a small submersible (DSV3 Turtle) that would dive to 10,000 feet deep.  I was in bands playing guitar and singing throughout my military career.  We actually had a couple songs play on DC101 in the 80's.  Now in my 60's, I'm able to relax and write songs without any pressure or dreams of grandeur.  I like the songs I write and hope you like them too.

IÓ PAN is a borderless composer, producer, and sonic mystic crafting soundtracks from the ruins of memory, migration, and myth. Drawing from the heat-soaked frequencies of the tropics and the icy logic of modern machines., PAN's work exists outside of genre - what they call Pantropia: a sound climate where dub coils around desert wind, Arabic cadence meets post industrial echo, and ancient rhythms speak through analog circuitry. All instruments and writing by PAN.
