Podcasts about Action Jackson

Though The Wolf saw Metallica kickoff their 72 Seasons/No Repeat Weekend Tour in Amsterdam in 2023, Jackson was not able to join. In fact, Action Jackson hadn't seen Metallica live since 1993 when he, The Wolf and their buddies saw them in Naples during their sophomore year in college. As our show is on the same network,⁠ Patheon Podcasts⁠, as The Metallica Report, we hoped we'd have the chance to see James, Lars, Kirk and Robert live together again one day. That day came on May 1 in Nashville as Metallica continues their unique and killer tour for a 3rd year and we descended upon Nashville to witness our heavy metal heroes live again together after 32 years. You'll want to hear Jackson's reaction to the stage setup on a beautiful night in Nashville. Suicidal Tendencies opened the night and got the crowd ready. However, it was a reformed Pantera featuring Zakk Wylde on guitar and Charlie Benante on the drums filling in for Dime and Vinny that we were really excited about and they did not disappoint. By the time Metallica came on, we were ready for them to blow us away and they delivered as they always do. We want to thank our long time listener Dex and his family for putting us up in their home - a very generous offer we're so happy we took them up on. And we want to thank the folks who crashed into the seats in front of us for reminding us that it takes all kinds to make up the Metallica Family and we're glad to be a part of it (and also glad we're not related to any of them). Night 2 was even better as we worked our way to the OWNERS SUITE but that show will be out on May 15 - so stay tuned!!

As long time listeners of the show know, The Wolf and Action Jackson were and remain huge fans of The Police. When they were 10, Synchronicity and Every Breath You Take ruled the albums and singles charts while being broadcast hourly on MTV. We'd thought we'd found the rock band we'd grow up with. However, lead singer and songwriter Sting had other plans. He'd grown tired to the infighting with Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland and wanted to take his songwriting and good looks solo. Dream of the Blue Turtles was Sting's first solo album making its debut June 17, 1985 and offered a more mature and jazzy approach to his songwriting. Enlisting the help of veterans like Darryl Jones (bass), Omar Hakim (drums), Kenny Kirkland (keys) and Branford Marsalis (horns), Sting created a more dynamic soundscape than he could have in The Police and took a big step towards being recognized as one of the premier songwriters of his generation. The first single, Feel Free To Set Them Free, set a groove and took advantage of new video technology for use on MTV. He revisited his ska/reggae roots on Love Is The Seventh Wave and offered a prayer of hope in the worry of the Cold War with Russians. However, Fortress Around Your Heart may be the best song he's ever written and it closes the album with style and substance. We may have wanted The Police to go on forever but Sting proved he could do so much more and this album went 3x platinum in the US with huge success around the world.

As long-time followers of our show are aware, The Wolf and Action Jackson are HUGE Led Zeppelin fans. When it was announced several years back that there would be a Led Zep documentary coming, we were psyched and knew that we'd not only have to go see it on the big screen but do a review on UAWIL. However, we we didn't know that director Bernard MacMahon had not only unearthed and cleaned up video of a performance by the band in Bath from 1969, but he also uncovered a never-before-heard audio interview of John Bonham. Thanks to that interview, he was able to get reflections from all four members of Led Zeppelin on their journey to becoming the biggest band in the world. Instead of being a complete career retrospective, this film focused on the back stories of each member - how they grew up, when they became fascinated with rock music, which artists turned them on and how they found their way into the music business. Most fans know that Jimmy Page was on tv with his skiffle group as a kid before becoming a premier session guitarist in London. But did you know that John Paul Jones learned so much from his father, pianist John Baldwin, and was a choirmaster at age 14? Did you know Robert Plant would try many different types of groups, hairstyles and scenes before he ever became a Golden God? Learning how Jimmy Page put the first record together so he would have leverage with record companies to not only get better royalties but to not be forced into releasing singles is just one amazing insight into how Led Zeppelin became the juggernaut, especially in the US, that would define their legacy. Action went to great lengths to see this movie and offer his perspective so give us a listen and see this film in the theaters while you can - the video and sound is amazing!!

Action: News & Uplift with Conn Jackson A bit of news with a community feel.   7 days/week with Action Jackson.   New post daily.   March 15, 2025  

For The Wolf and Action Jackson, The Who in 1989 were coming back one last time to perform - something they hadn't done since the early 80s and had sworn off. The classic 60s artists were back in a big way and The Who were touring the US doing 40 songs a night from their brilliant catalog, from their solo albums and with a focus on their rock opera Tommy to start the show. That tour eluded our fearless hosts but not Farmer John, host of the Vinyl Relics podcast - a new member of Pantheon. John and his buddies were the same age as Action and The Wolf when they ventured to Toronto in June of 1989 with tickets to see what would surely be the most mindblowing thing in their young lives. But they were teenagers who lived 2 hours away in London - where would they stay? With a working idea of walking the streets of Toronto all night, one of the moms secured a hotel room at the Holiday Inn via Jennifer. However, once Jennifer learned their were 6 unsupervised teenagers and not 2, she took their room keys and started a day of hijynx that can only happen to teenagers. John weaves a story of anticipation for the show, fear in being hunted down by Jennifer, uncertainty of how to get to the show, and the triumph of overcoming the odds to find himself in the 4th row after buying nosebleeds. It's the kind of fun tales we aim to preserve on First Concert Memories, the monthly sidecast from your friends at The Ugly American Werewolf in London Rock Podcast. Coming of age in the era of classic rock and hanging with your best friends along the way is where the most vivid memories are made - we're just dusting them off!

Here's your local news for Thursday, February 20: WPR reports that some fossil-fuel projects like Enbridge's Line 5 could get fast-tracked by the Trump Administration; meanwhile, the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association says it will comply with a directive to ban transgender athletes from women's sports. Locally, Metro Transit is apologizing for service disruptions today, amid a labor action from Metro drivers as the city negotiates a new contract with Teamsters Local 120. And the Madison School Board appears unlikely to approve a new charter school next week, leaving its architects to pursue accreditation through UW. WORT reporter Nate Carlin heads to a press conference of Meriter nurses held in the midst of their ongoing contract negotiations. And Tami Jackson, public policy analyst at the Wisconsin Board for People With Disabilities, joins reporter Maria Segura to talk about what potential Medicaid cuts would entail. Later in the show, we hear from landscaper Action Jackson, talk solar panel installation, and reflect on what it means to stand up to power.  

Action Jackson - Jackson's Yard Care On the Importance of Taking a Step Back to Take Leaps Forward: "I had to take a break to find myself. Right? I had to do some soul digging and figure out what I'm on this earth to do." In my experience, there are two honest ways almost guaranteeing you can practically print money: 1) Clean buildings, like houses, or 2) Take care of lawns.  Because dirt and grass don't care how they economy is going and people need help keeping things tidy and clipped. Action Jackson started Jackson's Yard Care and took his business to another level.  He lays out how he got started, some of the challenges and, most importantly, having the right frame of mind to make miracles happen. On top of building his yard care empire, Action took things a step, or leap, further by starting a training program for those that want to be in the yard care business.  He has systematized this training and in the very first year that he started this, he gave 19 people new employment and made three entrepreneurs.  The man is a business building machine that helps others grow as well. Listen as Action Jackson explains how he started his yard care business, from the first employee, to the bigger and bigger warehouses and onward into training to help others.  This show will get you jazzed to get your business going.

Travis Action Jackson returns to the Team Stripes Podcast joining Ross and Nat to talk about all things officiating and the future landscape of hockey. We hope you enjoy this episode of the Team Stripes Podcast

While the first of our two year in review episodes focused on the albums we reviewed and authors & podcasters we hosted on the show, Part 2 drills down on the live concerts we talked about and the 15 artists & legends we had the good fortune to interview on UAWIL in 2024. We knew that when The Wolf left Europe for the American midwest, there would be fewer opportunities to see live shows by the bands we love. But we made the most of it with some killer concerts including taking a disappointed 9 year old to see Journey (He's not the leads singer of Journey!?!), taking Action Jackson to his first Steve Hackett show, laughing and singing along with Colin Hay and finally seeing Wolfgang Van Halen live. But the real story is around the amazing performers we welcomed in 2024, almost doubling the number we hosted in 2023 and tripling the number of Rock N Roll Hall of Famers. We welcomed Steve Hackett (Genesis) for the 2nd time as well as his fellow Hall of Famers Guy Fletcher (Dire Straits) and the legendary Steve Howe (Yes, Asia). We also spoke with members of or worked with bands we loved growing up like Simple Minds, Vixen and Eric Clapton. We also spoke with some new generation rockers like Kiran Roy (October Drift) and Scott Holiday (Rival Sons) as in order to keep rock alive, we need new bands to fly the flag. The Wolf & Action Jackson are grateful to all our many listeners all over the globe, to our sponsor RareVinyl.com, to our friends at Pantheon Podcasts and to each other for putting together the best year we've ever had!! Happy Holidays to all and all the best for a safe, peaceful and rockin 2025!

The old adage is that you have your whole life to write your first album and then a few months to write your second. And while some bands may come out of the gate with a HUGE, classic, multi platinum debut album, there is no guarantee that the next will live up to the first one. Sometimes a band will take a big step forward but sometimes the "Sophomore Slump" takes effect and exposes that the band wasn't that great to begin with. And some do very well and are incredibly popular despite the fact that they really aren't that good and don't stand the test of time. The Wolf and Action Jackson have endeavored to come up with 5 2nd albums they love and 3 2nd albums they hate. Now the boys aren't telling you these are the 5 best or 3 worst 2nd albums of all time - these are the 2nd albums that we love and hate, respectively. Some of our loves are cult albums that barely made it to gold and some of our hates are among the biggest selling albums of all time. We think both lists will get you talking and hopefully even make you laugh at points. And for those who say well if you hate it just don't listen, for the most part we would have loved to not listen but they've been forced down our throats for decades. Would Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, Metallica or The Police make your favorites? What about Smashing Pumpkins, Oasis, KISS or The Cult? All have made our lists but you'll have to listen to learn whether they fall on the Love or Hate side of the ledger.

The Wolf and Action Jackson have endeavored to come up with 5 2nd albums they love and 3 2nd albums they hate. Now the boys aren't telling you these are the 5 best or 3 worst 2nd albums of all time - these are the 2nd albums that we love and hate, respectively. Some of our loves are cult albums that barely made it to gold and some of our hates are among the biggest selling albums of all time. We think both lists will get you talking and hopefully even make you laugh at points. And for those who say well if you hate it just don't listen, for the most part we would have loved to not listen but they've been forced down our throats for decades. Would Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, Metallica or The Police make your favorites? What about Smashing Pumpkins, Oasis, KISS or The Cult? All have made our lists but you'll have to listen to learn whether they fall on the Love or Hate side of the ledger.

Send us a textJohn Harbaugh out duels his younger brother Jim Harbaugh in primetime as he increases his record to 3-0. Ravens use their smash mouth run game to defeat the Chargers in Inglewood.  Derrick Henry would lead the way with 140 yards on the ground, while Lamar Jackson and Justice Hill would see pay dirt .  The Ravens would rush for over 200 yards in this game, which would be for the 4th time this season.  The defense would keep 'the gunslinger' Justin Herbert in check as he would have have under 250 yards throwing, however he was able to get in the end zone a 29 yard run.  As a whole the defense would sack Herbert 4 times, and had some big pass break-ups.The Ravens pick up their 8th win of the season staying at pace with the division leader, Pittsburgh Steelers, vying for that AFC North title.  Is the defense slowly turning a corner? Can the Ravens run the table?  Is Lamar Jackson still front runner for MVP?

Send us a textAfter a tough close loss to division rival, The Pittsburgh Steelers, the Ravens will take their talents to the west coast as they square off against the Los Angelos Chargers in primetime.  Jim and John Harbaugh are two legendary coaches in all of football. Jim Harbaugh made his return to the NFL after a 10 year hiatus.  He was widely successful at the collegiate level as his former team, the Michigan Wolverines, would win the CFB championship earlier this year.  The Harbaugh brothers have faced each other just twice in the NFL, and to no surprise the elder brother John leads the series 2-0.  Their last face-off would come on the grandest stage of them all, Super Bowl 47 in New Orleans.  Interestingly enough, that is the exact same sight of this year's game.  Jim Harbaugh has the Chargers rolling, under the radar with a 7-3 record. While John Harbaugh and his Ravens sit atop the NFL as it's hottest offense with a 7-4 record.  The Ravens had a tough loss in Pittsburgh last Sunday afternoon, and the Chargers would defeat Bengals in a close contest 34-27 on Sunday Night Football.Both teams are #1 respectively in their offense and defense prowess.  The Ravens have given up big plays in the secondary this season, however they are the top offense in the league.  While the Chargers are a top red zone defense and have held opponents to an average 14ppg.  Will Lamar and the offense bounce back this week? Can the Chargers stop the league's top  scoring offense?  Will Jim Harbaugh get his first win against his big brother John?

As kids who were 7-8 years old when Led Zeppelin broke up and teenagers in the 80s when they had ill-fated reunions (Live Aid, Atlantic Records 40th), The Wolf & Action Jackson were resigned to the fact that Led Zeppelin would never tour again. So when Jimmy Page & Robert Plant announced in 1994 that they were reuniting to do a TV performance reworking classic Zeppelin material and introducing some new songs, we lost our minds. Gathering around the TV to see our heroes together in action was something that we'd dreamed about and we looked forward to hear how they would reword classics that we loved. The anticipation was met with a bit of ambivalence once we saw the setlist as it didn't include many of the big rockers that we loved. Instead, it focused on much of their acoustic catalog and slowing down great stompers into more mellow pieces. However, upon seeing the performance of these songs by these legends (and with an amazing cast of musicians) quickly changed our attitudes. Opening with the haunting No Quarter in the woods with Jimmy on acoustic 12 strings and Robert singing from the heart to open the video really set the tone. They stayed true to some like Since I've Been Loving You and What Is And What Should Never Be but reworked some (When The Levee Breaks, Nobody's Fault But Mine) into something unrecognizable. Still, the driving force of Gallows Pole and Battle of Evermore really let the material shine. And though they made some new music with folks in Morocco, none of it really lived up to LZ standards (though one new song Wonderful One could have fit well on LZIII or Houses of the Holy). Winding up with an orchestra behind them for classics like Kashmir just demonstrated the majesty inherent in the LZ catalog. Not only did we watch the video hundreds of times, but we got to see the boys on tour with their amazing band and an orchestra which we count among the most special concerts of our lives.

Send us a textRavens and Bengals put on another thriller, but it would come late in the second half of the game. The Ravens trailed by 14 late in the third quarter, and per usual Lamar Jackson had another 'superman' performance to help propel them pass the Bengals. This win would help the Ravens complete yet another sweep of the Bengals for the second consective season. The last regular season win the Bengals  have over the Ravens  would be back in the 2022 season.Though the Ravens were able to squeak out a 35-34 win, it would be costly as they surrendered over 457 yards and 5 touchdowns to Bengals star receiver, Ja'Marr Chase.  With this being said, can the secondary be fixed? Is Zach Orr (or Dean Pees) the problem?  Can the Ravens win in the playoffs?

Send us a textThe Baltimore Ravens 5 game win streak came to a screeching halt by the hand of an AFC North Division rival, the Cleveland Browns.  There's many to blame for this loss: the offense dropped passes, the defense dropped INTs, Justin Tucker missed a field goal.  At the end of the day, they are a team and this was for sure a TEAM loss.With that being said, the Ravens are 9.5 point favorites against the Broncos (sounds familiar? so were they last week against the Browns) and they will have a test against one of the league's top pass defenses.  Can the Ravens' secondary improve? How will the addition of Diontae Johnson help make the Ravens' offense more dangerous?  All this and more on another edition of the Purple Pride Power Hour Podcast.  FB: The Purple Pride Power Hour PodcastX: Deejay_bmoreJoin me on Instagram @purplepridepowerhour

Send us a textThe Ravens will take their talents to Cleveland as they will face their second divisional opponent this season in the Browns.  The Browns lone win would come in week two against the Jags, however since then they have loss 5 straight.  If that is not enough, this past Sunday they would lose their franchise QB, Deshaun Watson, for the year with a torn achilles.The Ravens go into Cleveland as the top offensive juggernaut in the NFL.  The QB/RB duo of Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry has been sensational this season.  They could go down as one of the greatest duos in the history of the NFL.  With all of the highs of the offense, there is one noticeable low on the defense, the secondary.  Last week, the secondary appeared to be turning somethings around with Marlon Humphrey consective picks on Baker Mayfield.  But that was almost forgettable as the Ravens would allow 21 points to the Bucs offense.  Will the secondary's performance improve with the return of Arthur Maulet? Can Jamies Winston help the Browns to their first win since September?

Send us a textThe Ravens offense has been 'red hot' this past month with Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry leading the way.  This is seemingly becoming the best QB/RB duo in recent memory, or maybe in NFL history.  Tonight was no different.  Though they got off to a slow start in the first two drives, and found themselves in a 10-0 deficit. They would quickly find their footing, and it was all down hill for the Bucs from there.  Lamar Jackson and company would score 17 unanswered, and two big interceptions on the Bucs ensuing drives would help set Baltimore up with their halftime lead 17-10. After half time, Ravens would only punt once and rack up 24 additional points as Lamar Jackson would have another 5 touchdown night.  Derrick Henry would end the night with a total of 182 yards and a touchdown.  Mark Andrews would make history with his touchdowns as now being most in franchise history. The resiliency of this team is breathtaking, and even with a slightly abismal start the appear to be unstoppable.  Can the Ravens go on a run? What team can stop this offense? Is this a start for the secondary to turn around?

Send us a textThe highly anticipated matchup between 2X NFL MVP Lamar Jackson and 2023 Heisman Trophy Winner Jayden Daniels  for sure did not disappoint.  They both held their own and accounted for 654 total yards and 3 touchdowns.  Of course, the Ravens played take away ball as they dominated T.O.P. for 36 minutes and ran the ball over 150+ yards on just 37 touches.Jayden Daniels was not to be taken lightly, as he carved up the Ravens underperforming secondary spreading the ball around and throwing 2 touchdowns to star receiver, Terry McLaurin.  He played very poise, very collective, very DEMURE (lol).  However, it was not enough as the Ravens were able to use their “closer” Derrick Henry to once again add to their multi-game win streak.  With that being said, is this the Ravens “new identity”? Should we be concerned about the secondary? Can the Ravens compete in the postseason now?

Send us a textThis game is setting itself up to be an absolute delight on Sunday afternoon at the M&T Bank stadium.  Jayden Daniels, rookie from LSU, and the 2023 Heisman Trophy winner, is taking the NFL by storm.  The Commanders have won 4 straight games and have outscored their opponents 135-78, and in 3 of their last 4 wins they have held their opponents under 20 points (avg about 15ppg).  They have also outscored the AFC North 72-46 scoring 3TD and INT.On the other hand, the Ravens have also been on quite a streak.  They won their their last three games some would say in dramatic fashion (at least the last one lol). Lamar Jackson is playing MVP caliber football and could be on his way to a 3rd.  He has only thrown 1 interception this season, 9 touchdowns, and 4 of those touchdowns came against the Bengals last week. Can the Commanders pull off the upset? Can the Ravens stifle the Commanders offense and take advantage of their less than talented secondary? Will Ravens secondary issues continue?

For our 200th episode we wanted to bring in a guest that rock fans would be excited about but someone The Wolf and Action Jackson really admire. After hosting amazing guests on our 50th (Ryan Condal, House of the Dragon), 100th (live review of Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets after interviewing Guy Pratt and Gary Kemp on ep 96), and 150th (Steve Kilbey of The Church) we needed someone special to commemorate this milestone. As luck would have it, legendary guitarist and member of the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame Steve Howe (Yes, Asia) is releasing his latest solo album, Guitarscape, on September 27 and made himself available to us. As we tried hard not to be complete fanboys, we asked Steve to walk us through how he started building the bones of the album in 2019 thanks to a new Novatron that he'd acquired. We speak with Steve about the different textures of the album from acoustics (Spring Rhyme) to his signature hollow body electrics (Distillations, Passing Thoughts) to his brand new pedal steel (Equinox, Steel Breeze). With his son Dylan on the drums, Steve has put together a colorful palette of textures using his many talents and toys. We also manage to work in some questions about touring with Yes in the US with Deep Purple; however, when we interviewed him the tour was yet to begin, at the time of the release of this episode the tour had concluded. It sounds like there will be more new Yes music and future tours which is wonderful to hear. And, of course, we managed to squeeze in an Asia question because as long time listeners will tell you, it all comes back to Asia. The bottomline is we think you'll love our chat with Steve Howe and encourage you to pick up Guitarscape September 27. And thanks to everyone who's supported us through the first 200 episodes - we have much more in store so stay tuned.
