Over 11 years and 570 episodes, John Rabe and Team Off-Ramp scoured SoCal for the people, places, and ideas whose stories needed to be told, and the show became a love-letter to Los Angeles. Now, John is sharing selections from the Off-Ramp vault to help you explore this imperfect paradise.

Just last month, America mourned the loss of performer and painter Don Van Vliet, better known as Captain Beefheart.
Off-Ramp's Kevin Ferguson talked with former Beefheart guitarist and manager Gary Lucas, who has been doing Captain Beefheart symposiums all over the nation for months now. With the tragic passing of the man himself, Lucas' upcoming presentation at the Echoplex January 13 is all the more poignant and important.
