The song that most defined the great Ray Charles's life and career was written the same year in which he was born.It was 1930 on cold, stormy night in New York City when “Georgia on My Mind” was written by Hoagy Carmichael and his roommate Stuart Gorrell.“In a third-floor apartment overlooking 52nd Street,” Gorrell recalled, “with cold feet and warm hearts, we looked out the window, and, not liking what we saw, we turned our thoughts to the pleasant Southland.”Carmichael later added to the story in his autobiography Sometimes I Wonder. As reported earlier, he got the idea for the tune from his friend saxophonist Frankie Trumbauer, who noted that songs about states were almost always marketable. “Nobody ever lost money writing songs about the South,” Frankie said. “Why don't you write a song about Georgia? I'll even give you the first line: ‘Georgia, Georgia….'”The resulting song was immediately huge in the jazz world, a hit for Louis Armstrong and Billie Holiday, for Gene Krupa and Jo Stafford, for Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Kay Starr, Eddy Arnold and many more. But it was first recorded by Hoagy himself in October 1930 in the last studio session with his buddy and mentor, the legendary jazz cornetist Bix Beiderbecke. Enter Brother RayLess than a month before Hoagy and Bix's recording session — and a thousand miles away in southwest Georgia — Ray Charles Robinson was born in the town of Albany on the Flint River.Today many fans associate “Georgia on My Mind” with Brother Ray's iconic performance, but the song actually was rather late in coming into his life. By 1960, Charles had been in show business for 15 years, rocking the world of rhythm and blues. Already he had recorded classics for Atlantic Records, legendary discs like “Mess Around,” “Midnight Hour” and “I've Got a Woman,” like “Drown in My Own Tears” and “Hallelujah I Love Her So.”Whew! And all of those were recorded before his 30th birthday. How “Georgia” Met RayWhat Ray didn't have yet in 1960 was a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. But now the stage was set.He had left Atlantic for ABC Records, at which Charles would be recorded and pitched for the burgeoning new crossover market, especially with albums like his two Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music discs. (In the process, Ray also became one of the first black musicians to be granted artistic control by a mainstream record company.)Central to the start of this new chapter in the Ray Charles story was The Genius Hits the Road, a concept album that paid tribute to different destinations around the country. Think “New York My Home” and “Blue Hawaii,” “Moon Over Miami” and “Alabamy Bound.” But of course, the cut that eclipsed all the other tracks on the album was Charles's powerful, emotional interpretation of “Georgia on My Mind.” And that song had an unusual trip to the studio. The idea of singing Carmichael's classic came, not from A&R men or fellow musicians, but from Ray's driver who all the time heard his boss humming the thing. Jim Crow UglinessCharles' hit rendition of “Georgia on My Mind” — the first of his three career No. 1 hits — became the most widely-known version of the tune from that time on. But it came with racism and nasty politics getting into the mix.Barely a year after his “Georgia” hit the airwaves, Ray was due to play in Augusta, Ga. It was 1961 and Jim Crow laws were still very much in effect in the segregated South. Activists warned the singer that the theater at which the show was booked was strictly reserved for a white-only audience.Charles decided that no, he would not to play that night. As Elodie Maillot wrote recently in the online Pan African Music site, “Like Sam Cooke and others who refused to sing in front of all-white audiences, he was torn between his mainstream celebrity and his (being) kept in perpetual subjugation by segregationist laws.”For canceling the Augusta gig, Ray was fined $700 by the show's producer. After that, it would be years before he agreed to play in Georgia again, “but,” Maillot added, “‘Georgia on My Mind' became the symbol of his activism.”It took the state of Georgia nearly 20 years to finally apologize its native son, doing so when it chose Charles's recording as the official state anthem. Ray returned to perform in Georgia on March 7, 1979, serenading the state's General Assembly in Atlanta.Meanwhile, nearly 30 after that and some 200 miles to the south, a bronze statue of Ray Charles was unveiled in his hometown of Albany in 2007 in the middle of a square named for him. But Ray didn't live to see that; he died four years earlier in Los Angeles.However, he did live to see Rolling Stone magazine choose his recording for its list of the 50 greatest songs of all times.Our Take on the TuneAt last week's rehearsal, Danny Cox and Randy Hamilton did some serious gold mining in this old sweet song. This track opens with Charlie Bowen and Jack Nuckols laying down the basic melody and rhythm, then just listen as Danny starts spreading out all the riches he's found in those lovely old chords.

For our third episode of Hyperspace Theories podcast discussing the second season of Andor, Tricia Barr and B.J. Priester examine how the series portrays characterization through the use of point of view in its writing and visual imagery. Although prose fiction Star Wars usually relies upon third-person limited storytelling, only revealing to the reader what the characters themselves know or understand, cinematic Star Wars sometimes gives the impression of a third-person omniscient perspective, with the audience as an external observer watching a "true" version of events unfold. In Andor, however, much of the storytelling follows the limited point of view of the respective characters, and deploys effective camera angles and shot framing to convey their emotions as well as to build dramatic tension for the audience. We begin by revisiting the Ghorman Massacre from our previous episode, considering the ways its portrays the points of view from Cassian, Syril, and Dedra during those crucial events. When then examine Mon Mothma, whose POV scenes begin with her very first appearance in the second season's opening episode, when the camera follows her through a single extended shot in which she must constantly switch her persona and demeanor as she encounters the next person she greets. Other dynamic uses of point of view in these Andor episodes include Vel's perspective during the Ghorman Front's attack on the Imperial character, scenes with Cassian and Bix and with Luthen and Kleya, and Kleya's dramatic mission into the Imperial hospital on Coruscant.

The hosts unpack the episode's overwhelmingly depressing tone, from Bix's harrowing trauma (including her sleepwalking and picking up a weapon), to Cassian's heavy emotional baggage and fierce determination to protect Bix after failing to save others. Plus, they explore Syril's hilarious yet tragic delusions of grandeur, his detailed "spycraft" like booby-trapping his apartment with a trip wire, and how he's masterfully played as a pawn by Dedra and the insurgents. Discover obscure Star Wars world-building details, such as the cleaning agent 'Dirjo' and the Imperial's Public Order Re-sentencing Directive (PORD), and get the full scoop on those unexpected romantic hand maneuvers between Bix and Cassian. Don't miss this insightful and often hilarious breakdown!

It's the end of an era. And so many lives.This week, we trace the ways that Andor knits itself together into the wider tapestry of Star Wars, specifically by tying itself to Rogue One. We question whether the Rebels' sacrifices are cheapened by Luke Skywalker's heroism in Episode IV, define heroism through two key characters—Bix and Nemik—and investigate the reasons why Rebel High Command…is like that.We also name our favorite aspects of Andor, and crown it the ultimate Star Wars show.New to Growing Up Skywalker?

Send us a textAndor discussion starts at 21:49 minutesThe rebellion that will ultimately bring down the Empire doesn't begin with lightsabers or space battles – it starts with ordinary people pushed beyond their breaking point. Andor Season 2's first six episodes masterfully explore this transformation through multiple storylines that reveal the true cost of resistance.Following Cassian, Bix, and their companions as they hide on an agricultural world, we witness how the trauma of Imperial oppression shapes their decisions and drives them deeper into rebellion. Meanwhile, Mon Mothma navigates the treacherous waters of Imperial politics on Coruscant while trying to protect both her family and the secret resistance she funds. When these disparate storylines converge at a wedding sequence scored to hauntingly beautiful music, the result is some of the most sophisticated storytelling ever seen in Star Wars.The series doesn't shy away from showing the Empire's true nature. From propaganda campaigns that villainize entire planets to casual discussions about ecological destruction for resource extraction, we see how Imperial authoritarianism operates at every level. Orson Krennic's return adds crucial context to the machinations behind the Death Star project, while the addition of the planet Gorman – with its distinct culture and ecosystem built around unique spiders – demonstrates how thoroughly the creators have considered this world.What makes Andor exceptional is how it grounds these galaxy-spanning conflicts in deeply human stories. Bix's struggle with PTSD after Imperial torture, Saw Gerrera's dangerous Rhydonium addiction, and Cyril's misplaced faith in Imperial ideals all reveal different facets of life under tyranny. By examining the psychological cost of both oppression and resistance, Andor achieves a depth rarely seen in science fiction television.As the groundwork is laid for the unified Rebellion we'll eventually see in Rogue One, these episodes remind us that revolutions aren't built on spectacular moments, but on countless small acts of courage by people who simply refuse to accept injustice any longer.

Cass, just trying to live his life with Bix on Yavin IV, is marked as a “messenger” by a mysterious Force Healer; soon after, he and Wil return to Ghorman to target Dedra Meero. The Ghorman people are kettled into the town square by Imperial Forces, which quickly turns into the Ghorman Massacre - a heartbreaking event we found impossible not to connect to current events in Gaza. And, last but not least, Mon publicly denounces Palpatine and flees Coruscant with Cass's help, cementing her - and his - role as a Rebel leader.This penultimate arc is as heavy as it is beautiful.

Buckle up, rebels! This week, we're diving headfirst into Andor Season 2's "Sagrona Teema Solom," and we explore Andor's gritty realism. Think muddy Yavin 4 survival tips (got any moldy meal bars?), Imperial audits hitting a little too close to home (thanks, Tony Gilroy!), and an unsettling lieutenant trying to hit on Bix. But don't worry, there's also space rock-paper-scissors played with "Roski rules" and a "silly space monster" cameo to keep things… Star Wars-y.Don't miss this chaotic, fanatical, and undeniably funny deep dive!

Let's keep the Andor discussion going. The seventh episode of the second season introduced the Force into the story of Cassian Andor. What did that bring to the journey of Andor? Was the Force already present? What are Bix and Luthen's relationships to the Force as a concept and belief? The Force is with us as we dive in deep with Joseph Scrimshaw and Ken Napzok on the 6th episode of Season 2's The Andor Report.From the minds of Ken Napzok (comedian, host of The Blathering), Joseph Scrimshaw (comedian, writer, director of Dead Media), and Jennifer Landa (actress, YouTuber, crafter, contributor on StarWars.com) comes the ForceCenter Podcast Feed.

Is Cassian a catalyst or just caught in the current? The panel breaks down the Force healer's cryptic message, the Rebellion's growing tensions, and the Empire's strategic setup on Ghorman. Jeff Haecker, Patrick Mason, and Jon Koral unpack how characters like Syril, Bix, and Mon Mothma navigate crumbling systems and rising stakes. The post Andor: S2, Ep 7: Messenger appeared first on StarQuest Media.

The girls are fighting!! And by the girls, we mean the Rebellion and Luthen (probably).In Andor's “Messenger” (S2, E7) we parse the schism between the Rebellion proper and…whatever Luthen is up to. Relationships are at the core of this episode, and we dig into Bix and Cassian's healthy, established love; Dedra and Syril's anemic but weirdly passionate love affair; and Vel's grieving process. We also watch Cassian fight to remain a free agent, even as the Rebellion grows steadily more organized. Also, does Bix have a job??New to Growing Up Skywalker?

The Ghorman story really takes flight in this arc as the Empire, through Dedra and Syril, tug on the strands of the Ghorlectipod web they've woven behind the scenes.Cass and Bix try to get settled in Coruscant, Kleya and Luthen have to clean up a mess they made, Saw teaches Wilmon to huff rhydo, and Vel and Cinta reunite briefly.

Andor and Rogue One 9 Years ago (BBY?) Rogue One was released and a lot of people enjoyed the darker, more serious take on the Star Wars universe. However it felt like an outlier, and for many it didn't fit in with everything else in that galaxy Far Far away. 3 years ago Andor was released. It was show many thought was unnecessary, exploring the backstory of a secondary character many hadn't really embraced. "nobody asked for this" was a regular comment. Oh how that attitude was to change upon it's release! Today, the two seasons of Andor are a high water-mark for not just Star Wars, but TV dramas in general. And they way that they have re-contextualised Rogue One is nothing short of revalatory. In this podcast we look back at the two seasons of the show, and then dig down looking for the deep substrate foliated calcite at the heart of these shows and movies. Dion is our rogueish hero, Jill is the far less creepy non-cgi Leia at the end of Rogue One and Quinny is definitely the Glub Shitto of this podcast. Synopsis this story follows Cassian Andor, a thief and mercenary, five years before Rogue One. He's seeking his sister, Kerri, and becomes involved in the nascent rebellion against the Empire after killing two security guards. He then seeks refuge on Ferrix, where he and his friend Bix are drawn into a black market deal involving an Imperial tech unit. Season two then spans the intervening 5 years leading up to the events of the movie which will ultimately dovetail into Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope https://youtu.be/d2vka9fev3A A huge thank you to all the Rebel Scum who listen to each episode of the show, especially those of you ISB operatives who join in on the live-chat during the Twitch stream this week (and every week!).

Kerwin of Father.Son.Galaxy. sits down with Catherine LaSalle for a full breakdown of Andor Season 2. We unpack character arcs, political fallout, and where this leaves Star Wars moving forward.Topics include:– Syril Karn and Dedra Meero's dangerous loyalty– Vel and Cinta: duty, grief, and love– The Empire's atrocity on Ghorman– Mon Mothma, Bail Organa, and the limits of diplomacy– Luthen and Kleya: the cost of resistance– Cassian and Bix: what survival looks like in a broken galaxyWe revisit the season's most defining moments—Mon's speech, Luthen's reckoning, Vel's rage, and Bix's choice—and ask the hard question: has Andor changed what we should expect from Star Wars storytelling?This isn't just a recap. It's a sendoff.

Send us a textWhat can a Star Wars show teach us about organizing, resistance, and healing? In this episode of the Amplify RJ Podcast, I sit down with strategist, therapist, and writer Gabes Torres to talk about Andor—yes, that Star Wars show—and what it reveals about real-life revolution.We dive into how Andor de-romanticizes rebellion and reflects the complex realities of movement work: the banality of evil, conflict in organizing, disposability culture, and the painful but necessary tension between rest and resistance. Gabes shares insights from their piece on the show, their organizing and healing work in the Global South, and the ways marine mammals and myth can inform our strategy.Whether or not you've seen the show, this conversation is about so much more than the galaxy far, far away—it's about our world and how we build toward collective liberation with nuance, integrity, and care.0:00 – Intro: What is Andor + Character Breakdown 5:20 – Meet Gabes Torres: Healer, Strategist, Rebel  9:42 – How Andor De-Romanticizes Revolution  14:20 – Disney, Propaganda & Revolutionary Storytelling  19:35 – The Banality of Evil in a Boardroom  25:00 – Real-World Parallels: Propaganda, Gaza, Gorman & Genocide  26:45 – Parenting, Powerlessness & Purpose  29:21 – Consciousness Building as Resistance  32:20 – Gabes on Luthen, Clea & Strategy in Movement  36:42 – Bix, Trauma & Knowing When to Step Back  40:28 – Organizing Through Burnout & Wavering Commitment  44:30 – Humananizing vs. Ruthless Sacrifice47:40 – Disposability Culture in Movements  49:10 – Disagreeing Is Not a Failure of Solidarity  52:00 – Addressing Conflict & Building in Organizing  56:20 –  Is there Shared Vision for Our Resistance?  1:00:23 – Activist Ecosystems, Movement Mentorship from Marine Mammals  1:07:30 – Upside Down Triangle: Rethinking Power  1:08:50 – Support Gabes & Psychosocial Care for Organizers  Connect with Gabes:https://gabestorres.com/https://www.instagram.com/gabestorres/Read her article: https://gabestorres.substack.com/p/andorSupport mental health care for organizers in the Global South https://gabestorres.com/support/Rep Amplify RJ Merch Connect with us on:Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Threads, YouTube, and TikTok!SUPPORT by sharing this podcast and leaving a rating or review

The Cinedicate dives deep into the thrilling conclusion of Andor with three generations of Star Wars fans dissecting everything from jungle conflicts to Mon Mothma's political gambits. No stone is left unturned as we tackle fan service, emotional gut punches, and whether Andor just might be the best Star Wars story ever told. Expect heated debates, hilarious banter, and surprisingly thoughtful takeaways about rebellion, sacrifice, and the future of the galaxy far, far away.What to Expect:Honest first impressions and passionate discussion about Andor season two, including critiques of its opening arc, character banter, and how it compares (or doesn't) to both Rogue One and other Star Wars series.Deep dives into the show's mature storytelling, complex characters, political power plays, and how Andor tackles darker themes like tyranny, moral compromise, and resistance—plus where it stands in the larger Star Wars canon.Spirited debates on what makes “good” Star Wars, the merits of grounded versus mythical storytelling, and whether Andor deserves the title of best Star Wars story ever told.Episode Chapters00:00:00 Foreword00:01:15 Initial reactions to Season 2.00:08:23 Comparing Andor to Rogue One.00:13:06 Criticism of Rogue One characters, visual strengths, and missteps.00:21:41 Praise for Andor's grounded storytelling and mature tone.00:25:04 Dark themes and power abuse.00:31:01 The forgotten hero: Cassian Andor and the bureaucratic machine.00:36:21 Most tragic characters (Dedra, Syril, Bix).00:44:42 Bix's trauma and departure.

Andor season 2 is over, and we have strong feelings about it! Join us as we debate and disagree about Cassian's destiny, Bix's trauma, Luthen's amorality, and Mon's eye-opening escape, plus two other, very different relationships. Andor raised important questions about the balance between idealism and pragmatism in a rebellion, but how well did it address this tension? Did the second season get too dark, or did it effectively follow up on themes from the first season? And what do Cassian and Dedra's storylines reveal about the core differences between democracy and fascism? We'll tackle these and other big issues as we bid farewell to the most revolutionary project in Star Wars history.

Episode 140 is here and we give a bittersweet goodbye to the best Star Wars content of the Disney era. We also discuss if ‘Andor' has had any effect on rewatching ‘Rogue One'.Check us out at the links below!Twitter: https://twitter.com/kybercultureInstagram: instagram.com/kyberculture/ Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/kyberculture/ For more information, follow The @ KyberCulture on all socials: https://linktr.ee/kyberculture

Star Wars Generations: Andor Season 2 Finale Reactions - The Dawn of RebellionThe groundbreaking Andor series reaches its powerful conclusion, connecting directly to Rogue One and reshaping how we view the Star Wars universe. In this episode, hosts Matthew and Alex share their immediate reactions to the final episodes of Andor Season 2, examining how the show bridges crucial gaps in the Rebellion's formation while delivering some of television's most compelling character arcs.How Does Andor Enhance the Larger Star Wars Narrative?The hosts explore how Andor doesn't just stand alone but actively enriches the entire Star Wars saga. By connecting seamlessly to Rogue One and A New Hope, the series makes the sacrifices in the original trilogy even more meaningful. The show provides essential context for understanding the Rebellion's origins, showing the personal costs and moral compromises that went into fighting the Empire long before Luke Skywalker entered the picture.What Makes Luthen Such a Complex Character?Luthen embodies the moral complexities at the heart of revolution, raising uncomfortable questions about means and ends. As Matthew notes, the character "troubles me the most, and I think that's the point," drawing comparisons to historical revolutionary figures who employed violent tactics in service of just causes. Luthen's own words resonate throughout the series: "I'm condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them," highlighting the central ethical dilemma facing all resistance movements. The hosts debate whether his methods were justified and how his character forces viewers to question their own moral judgments about real-world resistance movements.How Does the Empire Treat Its Own People?The fate of Imperial officers like Dedra Meero and Partagaz reveals a brutal truth: "You could do everything for the Empire, you could give yourself to it... but in the end, no matter how loyal you are, you're expendable." The hosts discuss how the series brilliantly portrays the Empire's callous treatment of even its most dedicated servants, creating a system where middle-management bullies like Krennic thrive while true believers are discarded when no longer useful.What Legacy Is Left Behind?The final moments of the series spark discussion about how characters' sacrifices ripple through the timeline. As Luthen states in his powerful speech, "I burned my life to make a sunrise that I know I'll never see," foreshadowing the future that Cassian and others will help create but never witness themselves. The hosts debate the controversial ending for Bix's character and whether it serves the narrative or relies too heavily on common tropes.Other Topics Covered:How K2-SO's introduction creates both comedic moments and surprisingly tense action scenesThe significance of Easter eggs connecting to other Star Wars properties, including RebelsWhether Kleya and Cassian might be siblings, and why making this connection would undermine the storyHow actors delivered Emmy-worthy performances across multiple complex rolesThe perfect execution of Andor as a complete two-season story with clear vision from start to finishWhy Orson Krennic's introduction establishes him as the quintessential Imperial middle-manager bullyThe visual parallels between key scenes in the finale and Rogue One's endingAndor has redefined what Star Wars storytelling can achieve on television, creating a rare series that appeals equally to hardcore fans and newcomers to the galaxy far, far away. By focusing on ordinary people caught in extraordinary circumstances, the show illuminates the personal costs of resistance while never losing sight of why the fight against tyranny matters—even when victory seems impossible and the path forward requires difficult compromises. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

Star Wars and Superhero Ethics Crossover Episode: Andor Season 2While I try to keep the Star Wars Generations and Superhero Ethics podcasts separate, with Andor hitting so many of the themes we talk about on Superhero Ethics, I wanted to share our first episode about Andor Season 2 with you all.The hosts of Star Wars Generations dive deep into the first three episodes of Andor Season 2, which premiered with a triple-episode release. Matthew, Erin, and Alex explore how the show immediately establishes its political commentary and continues its unflinching portrayal of life under the Empire's fascist regime.What makes Andor Season 2 so politically charged?Within the first five minutes, the show tackles current political issues through its storytelling. The hosts discuss how the plot involving undocumented workers (referred to explicitly as not having "visas") on a farming planet directly parallels real-world immigration issues. The Empire's plan to exploit the planet Ghorman for resources regardless of environmental or human cost also serves as commentary on resource exploitation and colonialism.How does the show portray different facets of the Empire?The podcast hosts examine how the show depicts various characters within the Imperial system. From Dedra and Syril's domestic life to the cold Imperial board meetings with Krennic, the series demonstrates how ordinary people participate in and enable fascist regimes. The stark contrast between the comfortable lives of Imperial officers and the struggling rebels highlights the inequality within the Star Wars universe.What connections to the wider Star Wars universe appear in these episodes?The hosts identify several connections to the animated series Rebels, including Cassian stealing what appears to be a TIE Interceptor (a project championed by Grand Admiral Thrawn) and the mention of Ghorman (which Mon Mothma later condemns the Empire for abusing in Rebels). They theorize these connections may lead to appearances from characters like Thrawn or depict events referenced in other Star Wars media.Other topics discussed:The controversial scene involving attempted sexual assault against Bix and its portrayal of power abuse within the EmpireMon Mothma's storyline involving Chandrilan wedding traditions and her strained family relationshipsBrasso's death and the ambiguity around whether Andor was responsibleThe portrayal of squabbling rebel factions on Yavin 4 and what it says about resistance movementsThe parallels between the lavish Chandrilan wedding ceremony and the violence occurring simultaneously on other planetsDedra and Syril's domestic relationship and interactions with his motherThe Imperial strategy meeting discussing how to create justifications for destroying GhormanThe hosts conclude that while some storylines (particularly the Yavin 4 sequence) felt somewhat drawn out, the overall quality of the show remains exceptional. They express excitement about where the season is heading and how it will connect to the events of Rogue One, noting that these early episodes have already paid off some of their predictions while setting up compelling new storylines. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

He has dedicated his efforts over the last 15 years to exposing the long term manipulation of the gold and silver markets. Bix has worked closely with the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee helping to pull the curtain away from the Cabal of International Bankers that has taken control of our free market system.
