Jim Just Wants To Go Back To Bed

Roberto Adrian Martinez

Jim Beal spent decades as a journalist and a few more as a musician. He has a surplus of stories about the city's numerous artists. This one takes place in early 90's. It features one of San Antonio's biggest cultural icons, a writer from Spin magazine and a shedding cat.

And all the while Jim just wants to go back to bed.
 

This story was recorded April 3 at Brick for the Worth Repeating show with the theme "Tricentennial."
