El pasado 29 de abril partía de este mundo el músico galés Mike Peters, tras tres décadas de lucha con el cáncer. Cantante de The Alarm y Big Country llegó a la música con la explosión del "punk" en los 70, tras escuchar a los Sex Pistols, pero se hace cristiano tras leer un libro sobre Jesús en un tren. No se identificó nunca como "un artista cristiano, sino como un artista que es cristiano, lo que es muy diferente", decía. Amigo de Bono, hizo giras con U2 y Bob Dylan como The Alarm, el grupo que formó en los años 80, después de su época "punk" como The Toilets y "mod" como de Seventeen, pero con los mismos miembros. Cuando actuaba en festivales cristianos como Greenbelt, lo hacía en solitario, para no incomodar al resto de la banda. Estuvo como Bono, toda su vida casado con la misma mujer, Jules, que padeció de cáncer como él. Al diagnosticarle su linfoma, siguió un tiempo con el grupo, pero inicia luego una carrera en solitario con una leucemia crónica, que le lleva a muchas iniciativas a favor de la lucha contra el cáncer. Su música tiene el aliento épico de las grandes bandas del post-punk, U2 o Big Country, ideal para grandes espacios, pero con unas letras llenas de ánimo y esperanza. Como Bono, mantiene una relación distante con la Iglesia, pero vuelve una y otra vez a la fe con la que enfrenta su enfermedad y sus relaciones con especial humildad y conciencia, tanto del presente como de la eternidad... ¡Extrañaremos sus himnos y entusiasmo! En este programa de "El sueño se ha acabado" escuchamos algunos de ellos con grabaciones de entrevistas sobre su vida y su fe. Las canciones son: "The Stand (1983); "Spiritual" (1994); "Where Were You Hiding?" (1984), "Absolute Reality" (1985); "Sixtiy Eight Guns" (1983); "Strength" (1985); "Walk Forever By My Side" (1985); "Train A Comin" (1994). Oímos fragmentos de la música que le inspiró de The Clash (I Fought The Law) y Big Country (In A Big Country), así como de la actuación con Bob Dylan, cantando juntos, "Knockin´On Heaven´s Door". Las entrevistas son de programas de la BBC, la realización técnica es de Daniel Panduro y los comentarios con las traducciones son de José de Segovia.

This upbringing gave them the knowledge to build a successful equipment dealership and rental company, even though that wasn't their plan. They both took a little different paths in life and they both ended up getting the skills they needed to complement each other well in business. While Sterling learned a lot of skills at business school Harrison got a lot of real world experience in the construction industry and ended up starting the business. They've both used their skills to grow and expand the business through the years. Like a lot of business owners they learned a lot through trial and error and asking a lot of questions.

Robin Millar doesn't let anything hold him back. The man is blind, and yet he became one of the most successful producers in the UK in the 80s. His biggest claim to fame is shepherding a young Sade to two world-beating albums (her first two). Working together to find her unique sound made him the go-to guy for "sophistopop" and brought him a ton of success. He did the first few Everything But the Girl albums, the Fine Young Cannibals' debut, the first Colin Hay album and even scratched his rock itch by doing the third Big Country album. Oh, and he discovered Phoebe Bridgers and Cigarettes After Sex. And he was appointed CBE. And knighted. And, again, he's blind.

Send us a text4X4X3: WILLIAM WYLER CONCLUSION: THE COLLECTORTGTPTU wraps its third director of Season 13's 4x4 with a discussion of a fourth and final William Wyler film THE COLLECTOR (1965). Like The Big Country, its paired film from last week, The Collector began as a book, this one penned by John Fowles, author whose adapted novel The French Lieutenant's Woman was covered by TGTPTU during our Meryl Streep season. The Collector was Fowles' first published book, and Wyler took liberties with its epistolary structure to refocus the movie as, mentioned later below, a “love story.” And like last week's western picture, The Collector is shot in glorious color, interestingly unlike Wyler's preceding The Children's Hour (problematic treatment of lesbianism? who knows? not your hosts, not in time for this ep, but maybe TGTPTU's loquacious critic Annabel with offer their opinion on a future ep?) whose black-and-white film stock marked a departure from Wyler's two preceding films The Big Country and Ben-Hur where in the latter someone may have died filming the chariot race and was also a book adaptation.  But as for The Collector, which was very provisional cohost Ryan's ringer of a movie, that is, the one he pitched when he was sandboxing his 4x4 choice of directors because he was sure it would score, our final Wyler film under discussion misses the post leaving the hosts wonder whether it's close enough to count as Wyler-essential (horseshoe puns aren't part of The Collector, just your show note writer's indulgence).  While a dark tale of sexual abduction and obsession, Terrence Stamp--the titular collector of butterflies but also of at least one woman in his dungeon--was told by Wyler that they were secretly shooting a love story and while Wyler utilized his old-Hollywood directing style by shutting out on set the relative novice actress Samantha Eggar in the role of abducted in this two-hander movie (a cast of seemingly four credited actors) so that she would feel the isolation her character locked away lost in the British countryside, the direction and acting can't seem to overcome a rather flat script.  But stay tuned to the end to hear the boys rank their Willies, including from the first movie pairing how they prefer their dicks and for all four flicks hear them consider their manhood as Willy exposes it. Throughout the ep, listen for the tension in Ken's voice as the other three hosts conspire to stretch the recording session into kickoff time with Ryan sharing stories from the streets and country clubs and Thomas striving for an episode parental advisory warning. And laugh alone as the hosts skip right past Ken's allusion to The Sound of Music. Next episode: A very special Clint-mas Ep for the wintertime, then back in the new year with the fourth of our four directors, the Danish Darling also known as Lars von Trier.

Send us a text4X4: WILLIAM WYLER. #3: THE BIG COUNTRY(Note: Don't skip the theme song this week)TGTPTU Host Ryan's Willie gets a glow-up with THE BIG COUNTRY (1958), the third in our cultivated William Wyler collection.Shot in glorious Technicolor on large-format Technorama to set it apart from the glut of midcentury black-and-white television Westerns, the big-budget film was not a financial success despite winning one, after being nominated for two, Academy Awards and starring at the time four-time Oscar nominee Gregory Peck in the lead role of James McKay, a stranger who comes into town (thanks, Ken! 50-50 odds on this plot by your own estimation), who reunites with his fiancée out on the American frontier only to be hazed by her father's foreman Steve Leech played by Charlton Heston (no Oscar noms at the time but a big win the next year on Wyler's next film Ben-Hur, which, btw, did you hear someone died filming the chariot race?) and later to fall in love/respect/mutual ownership of property with school teacher and Big Muddy landowner Julie Maragon played by Oscar-nominated Jean Simmons (not that one, it's spelled differently, Thomas). The voice and the eyebrows, the legendary singer and thanks to this film an Oscar-winner, Burl Ives plays Rufus Hannassey, the patriarch of a rival company of cowpunchers who also uses the Big Muddy and gets into a scuffle with Peck character's father-in-law-to-be. This spat spirals out of control, Peck's character presents the view with a confident pacificist, and there's a good plot summary on Wikipedia and elsewhere. What you can't get elsewhere is Ryan's special intro with lyrics and deep cuts even more deeply researched for you cineasts, Thomas's pun on seamen, re-ranking the Major, a Hal Ashby connection, and a surprise new ghost guest added to the pod's lore and collection when Charlton Heston's noncorporeal agent visits the studio. The four hosts on this 4x4 do their best to discuss performative masculinity and the connection to war while ensuring they get their f*cking auto-assigned EXPLICIT CONTENT WARNING from their AI censors.  “Now tell me, you: what did we prove?"  THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @mrkoral.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gBuzzsprout: https://thegoodthepodandtheugly.buzzsprout.com/Letterboxd (follow us!):Ken: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

In late 1993, after Roney Dean Harper's confession to the murder of Lou Goettsch, discoveries of human bones seemed to be commonplace in the Big County, an area of Texas of which Abilene is the heart. With every set of remains unearthed, detectives with the Abilene Police Department, an agency that had no jurisdiction over any of the discoveries, sat tight and waited for the identification of one of their missing people. At the top of that list was Lou Goettsch, since Harper's admission had heated the case back up. Neither the Big Country bones nor Roney Dean Harper gave the answers the cops were looking for.If you have any information about the disappearance of Lou Allen Goettsch, please contact Abilene Crime Stoppers at 800-868-8477.You can support Gone Cold – Texas True Crime and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/BENEATH and get on your way to being your best self.” ** The 1950s was a real transitional decade for classic films. As we got further away from WW2, and the Cold War began to rise up prominently, there was a cynicism across the land that influenced the content of many Hollywood movies. Films took on a grittier, more realistic feel, and the subject matters were darker and more controversial. It was the decade that sparked masterpieces like “Sunset Boulevard,” “All About Eve,” “From Here To Eternity,” “Cat On A Hot Tin Roof,” “A Streetcar Named Desire,” “Anatomy of a Murder,” “ Strangers on a Train,” “Shane,” and “High Noon.” Listen as Steve and Nan talk about some special 1950s films that inspire them.
