Fasolamatt: The man behind the links
Posted on December 17th, 2007 – 11:37 AMBy Michael Rand
He stormed your castle with links aplenty. Now meet the man behind the links (and apparently the beard). Ladies and gentlemen, Fasolamatt:
Now, see, this would be easy if Alex Bevan got his act together. I’d just link to a video of his classic song “Skinny”, with key lyric “I’m a skinny little boy from Cleveland, Ohio, come to chase your women and drink your beer” and be done with it.
Alas, all Alex has is this lousy video. Fortunately, all photos of me in high school are pre-digital, and hopefully stashed deep in a box somewhere in Ohio. A friend from Michigan shot this picture, at a fasola singing in Chicago last spring. You can watch a documentary about fasola (aka “Sacred Harp”) tomorrow night on channel 17, so I’ll spare you further details. Let’s see, marketing analytics professional, Indians fan, married with two little boys, live in Macalester-Groveland, yeah, whatever.

Did everyone just bring their own nametags? There doesn’t seem to be any consistency…
Fasolamatt is sporting the classic “Hello my name is…”
The woman in the blue tress has the cheap “red border” nametag
The woman on the right has the blue squiggly border nametag.
Apparently, “fasola” doesn’t mean “coordinated”
Fasolamatt - We never connected on the Bellacor connection, but based on your profession, I’m guessing we know the same people there.
tress = dress, even though the letters aren’t close enough on the keyboard for this to be an acceptable typo
Is that a ponytail/mullet?
I hope for your sake it is just a chair in the background!
Dave - foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.
jama - no, no mullet, that’s someone else’s hair.
I meant to include a link to this Jim Walsh article as well (the only time I’ve ever been called “cherubic”).
Matt, they’re building the new spring training home of the Indians where I live; come on down.
“no, no mullet, that’s someone else’s hair.”
Sure it is, I don’t see anyone behind you. Just admit you like the business in the front party in the back look.
The couple in the back don’t even seem to be paying attention. I think they might be balancing the checkbook or something. Thats why I go to church.
They’re the arranging committee, figuring out who gets to lead the next song. Paul on the left is from Minnesota, Marcia on the right from Chicago (and she’s a traffic court judge in Cook County, so be on your best behavior).
Alex, is the lead singer on the 1991 vid link you ? He sounds like Buddy Holly a bit….and who would have made you as a church guy ay, but around Mac-Grove anything is possible, I guess
Alex !! I know you or at least have seen you often…at that coffee shop on Grand and Smelling (spelled that way because it does) or Ace Hardware or…old buds are we, ay ?
scary.
paul paulos knows where you live.
I KNOW EVERYTHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And SUPER ROOK, by the collapsing wooden slat doors over your closet (I didn’t go back on RandB to see them. I KNOW they are there)…but from the looks of them I say you live in some kind of enclosure, perhaps a trailer but a nice trailer..this I KNOW..scary
My vote is that the mullet is the left arm of the IRS agent overlooking Checkbook Couple’s figures.
fasola = “sacred heart” ? Considering this site, I’ll hold my breath to know for sure til tomorrow nite on Ch 17, though I avoid that Ch. like I do Ch 2 like the plague. Much too mellow for me. The people, esp in pledge drives every other day, seem to move and talk in slo-mo, and if the programs were likened to food they would taste like dry granola.
(gotta play with the language or you’ll be old before you know it * Hunter Thompson aka me
Paul Paulos, those closet doors were in Chicago, home of the Hawks.
they have trailers there ?
