He Photographed the Whole Charade

Tribute to Planet Waves photographer Charlie Lemay. A.I. is coming for the artists first. The whole virus thing is so weak.

Nero by Charlie Lemay.

We are working on the Planet Waves FM website. The new program is on the player above.

On tonight’s program, a tribute to Planet Waves photographer Charlie Lemay, who taught at St. Pauls and was my personal photography professor. Take heed — A.I. is coming for the artists first. The whole virus thing is so weak — but I’m saving that for another (so) week.

You can see some of Charley’s work on this article from 2014, and there is much more below.

Thank you to all who make this program possible with your paid subscription.

Note to Regular Listeners, Welcome to New Listrners

Thank you to all who support this program financially.

I don’t like to interrupt the show with funding or subscription pitches, which break the flow of the program and change the vibe. The program is here to GIVE. So I am asking —

If you listen regularly and find peace of mind in what I do each week, or if you count on me in any way, please consider helping sponsor Planet Waves FM with a paid subscription. That costs just $8 a month, about as much as a cup of Starbucks sugar and grease goo. You get much more from me. I promise you will feel good about supporting the program.

More or Less

If you want to offer a different amount, greater or lesser than a Substack subscription, you may do that with a direct donation through our nonprofit Chiron Return.

We live in the age of a vast abundance of online “content,” most of which carries no ads. In the past, the ads paid for everything. We exist in a new era in media history, and it’s important that people who value their favorite program step up and offer just a little back, with love and gratitude. Every single subscription counts. Currently about 1 in 200 listenrs offers something back. Please join those who do.

With Chiron-Planet Waves, you support far more than a Substack. I have gathered around me excellent reporters and investigators and many say they count on me for a clear-minded and compassionate bottom line of reality. We are in the ready room when major news happens and we are good at getting it to you.

Thank you for doing your part to make this happen. — efc

Photographs by Charlie Lemay (1950-2025). I think this provides a valid sampling of his work — apart from the montages that made it into his Digital Theater presentations and the closely related tarot deck.
