The Banana Boyz dig into the Anti-Woodstock that was the Altamont Free Concert. Considered by some "The Day the Music Died", it was a Free Concert put on by The Rolling Stones in Northern California.

The Banana Boyz have Ricochet Editor, Organizer, Former Vancouver City Council Candidate & Socialist Dad Derrick O'Keefe on the pod to talk about the life & times of Rosemary Brown; the first Black Woman elected to a Canadian provincial legislature; first Black Woman to serve as Speaker of the House in a provincial legislature, and the first Black Woman to run for leadership of a Canadian Federal Party - coming in second to Ed Broadbent for leadership of the Federal NDP in 1975!   Rosemary was also an open socialist who was unafraid to criticize her own party and its white, male leaders. She spoke openly of how poverty disproportionately affected women, particularly Black & Elderly women. In her 1975 bid for the leadership of the NDP, she advocated for socialism, anti-imperialism, and feminism. Despite being recognized as a trailblazer & advocate, her radicalism is often downplayed or softened in official records.    Please also check out this list of Black Organizations & Fundraisers in British Columbia you can support!   SOURCES/FURTHER INFO: Rosemary Brown on Wikipedia Rosemary Brown on Black Past Section 15 Biography on Rosemary Brown Rosemary Brown Obituary Historica Canada Video on Rosemary Brown (YouTube) Rosemary Brown on Royal BC History Museum INTERVIEW: The Task Force on Aging Women - 1980 (YouTube) DOCUMENTARY: No Way, Not Me!

Chuck Berry once said that his entire career was “one long Sister Rosetta Tharpe impersonation.” Elvis Presley blatantly copied her dance moves & style. She gave Little Richard his first-ever gig & shared the stage with him. She was a black queer woman who wasn't allowed to patronize the very concert halls she regularly sold out. Despite this, she was nearly forgotten by the mainstream rock press until recently, and finally inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.

They are, of course, still recording remotely & the sound quality is still a little rough in places, but Second Bananas is BACK baby! Jean Wells was the first woman to solely author a D&D Module. That module, "The Palace of the Silver Priness" never made it to print, because apparently it was just too horny! As The Banana Boys excavate the history of D&D's "Raciest Module", it becomes apparent that every D&D Module is secretly horny in its own way, and Jean was just the wrong girl in the wrong place at the wrong time.
