Midnight Looms 023–A BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE TO TEVA HARRISON–August 18 2020 - a podcast by Gobs

If you caught EPISODE 012 of this show, towards the end of it, you heard our host, GOBS, talk about his real-life hero, TEVA HARRISON. She was an accomplished ARTIST, WRITER, POET, and CANCER ACTIVIST, and Gobs was one of the lucky people who got to call her a friend. Teva passed away in 2019 but this week marks her birthday, and we wanted to celebrate it with a full episode in tribute to Teva. When we ran the idea past her husband, DAVID, he not only wanted to be involved, but he invited us into their home to play RECORDS FROM TEVA'S COLLECTION. Wow!
The resulting tribute is a journey through Teva's life, from Childhood to her final years, represented by the songs that she loved. Gobs does his thing to make it all fit and flow. From GRATEFUL DEAD to DEAD MOON. From all the way back in the days of CHET BAKER and PATSY CLINE to recent releases by COEUR DE PIRATE and THE BLOW. From the beauty of BLONDE REDHEAD to the ferocity of BIKINI KILL. There's even some BREAKCORE in the mix, from Teva's DJ days. You won't believe what her favourite PRINCE song was when she was a kid ;)

Gobs and David talk a bit about Teva's final book, NOT ONE OF THESE POEMS IS ABOUT YOU, but mostly they chat about the remarkable person that they loved and admired so much. This is a truly special episode.
