I have a secret; should I tell? Maybe you have secrets too. What might be the impact of inflicting personal information on unsuspecting receivers? In AA they say: “You're only as sick as your secrets,” and there may be some truth in that. They say that once you've aired your dirtiest laundry, you can begin to heal, unafraid, with nothing to hide.On the other hand, you might be opening a pandora's box, as a result of your selfish need to expiate your guilt. There may be consequences and repercussions you never anticipated; hurt feelings, bewilderment - a loss of trust, ironically, just when it should be getting earned back.So I'm asking the oracle. Let's see what it advises…..

MY HEART TOOK A LEAP - THE POETIC INNOCENCE OF THE SHANGRI-LAS" -RICH BUCKLAND'S EPIPHANY NOTEBOOKLike so many pre teens growing up in the sixites I slept with a transistor radio under my pillow. That receiver was the best friend a 12 year old could possibly have. It told me only what I wanted to hear and unlike the parental tunes regulary dispensed, I could slide the dial to another frequency and change the feel and tempo. 1964 was an extraordinary year for popular music and youthful urges. My wireless companion delivered the sound of pleading voices reciting urgent love calls through the night air. The first feminine intonations that whispered directly to my adolescent hunger ariived through The Supremes in June of that year. I would wait anxiously through the bedtime darkness to hear the DJ conduct another spin of the salvation revealed within a Diana Ross plea requesting an explanation to what would become the eternal question of "Where Did Our Love Go". I was fully captured by the gentle elocution each conflicted tone incited. She was conducting a sorrowful inquest, the meaning of which I was not experienced enough to comprehend and yet fully accepted. It felt like a sensual revolution emanating from the magic of a wireless, spiritual trasmission, but more importantly a glorious awakening having nothing to do with sexual messaging. It was my initiation into the significance of lonliness. And then it became more complex. In August of that same period, a group calling themselves The Shangri-las, dispatched a 45 revelations per second record titled "Remember (Walking In The Sand )" It ignited something dark and dramatic. This was my first migraine heartache and I understood the origin. It was the voice of Mary Weiss, the groups teen vocalist from Queens NY, the very borough I lived in. She was singing a story of such anguish, I just wanted to embrace her and make it better. "Oh, no, Oh no, Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Remember (Walking In The Sand)". The song and it's production were the child of a music business misfit named George "Shadow" Morton" But it was the urgent hurt of Mary Weiss that has lived within me going on 55 years. I recall ruminating, " If this is 12, what the hell will 13 be like." I began to find out when the next Shangri-las recording was released in December. The melancholy of "Remember" surrendered to another George Morton composition sung as only Mary and her partners could. It was called "Give Him A Great Big Kiss" and made me feel better about our fate and the abyss she had us both falling into only four months earlier. Teendom was just around my Queens, NY street corner. Hope and the sound of rock and roll transmitted by Murray The K, wrestled with the gusty winds which flowed beneath the Throgs Neck Bridge where my friends and I spent long summer days.In retrospect Mary Weiss was my first true infatuation. The emotions were real, especially for a kid who cried over Jackie Wilsons "Lonely Teardrops" at age 7. Rock and Rhythm and Blues produced awakenings and sensations with no age restrictions.After 4 marriages I still have similar questions posed by The Shangri-las and The Supremes . I owe a great debt to those remarkable women and their sacred voices. If we are fortunate, the eternal flame of yearning begs new understanding with each sunrise. Just give the one you love a Great Big Kiss and always Remember. Always.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a pervasive topic of conversation these days, and recently it's been on my mind a lot as I endeavor to move past grief. It's been over 5 years since my life partner departed suddenly - so suddenly that when it was happening, and for a long time after, I completely denied its reality. We know that death comes for us all, and no matter what age you are it's probably best to prepare yourself, to make friends with the Reaper, and get ready to surrender to his scythe - (I heard that George Harrison used to rehearse his passing); Sarah Bernhardt slept in a coffin… but, very few of us are truly prepared, even at some pretty advanced ages - my father wasn't reconciled to his fate even when it came at 96. The last phone conversation we had as he waited to be seen at the emergency room was fraught with annoyed bewilderment at being held there against his will.It seems to be the primary topic of conversation that Rich and I are apt to discuss on any given day, and he has expressed frustration at my reticence to volunteer the dour details of my slide towards the inevitable, but really, why harp on it? Why dwell on the depressing aspects of life while you can still laugh ironically at those same concerns? Eat, drink, and be merry, I say. Of course, if you have to constantly watch your sodium and cholesterol while considering the lethal effects of the cocktail you're sipping, your options for fun will be limited. Anyway, back to PTSD… This week it's been front and center of my consciousness because I recently consumed two items of popular culture that feature it - one 60 years old, the other recently released - namely, Rod Serling's short lived 1965 television series, The Loner, starring Lloyd Bridges, and Christopher Nolan's freshly minted sword and sandal epic, The Odyssey. In both, the main character struggles with PTSD - Bridges' character in the aftermath of the Civil War, and Odysseus from his part in the atrocities recounted in the Iliad. Both men have experienced horrific and emotionally crippling events; they roam vistas rife with unremitting violence, and long to find home. Rod Serling transplanted his WW2 experiences to the Western genre, and audiences weren't ready for it's moral meditations, ill suited to an escapist medium. Regarding the Odyssey, Jon Stewart has reflected that it seems like a sequel to Oppenheimer, Nolan's rueful depiction of that protagonist's bequest of a doomsday weapon to arm mankind with the power to destroy itself. Echoes of PTSD resound everywhere - inside each of us, in the chaos all around, and throughout our popular culture. And, today I asked the oracle how to find peace with it. QUESTION: HOW CAN I OVERCOME RESENTMENT?The Oracle answered with Hexagrams 51 (Provoking), and 31 (Cutting)Let's examine those, along with a dream diary passage, and a song, “Cairns” composed during that time…Chemayne used to collect stones that appealed to her. She would then cover them in varnish to make them glisten. After she died there were tons of them, and I started giving them away as gifts. One friend was so taken with them that he took a bunch and built some amazing cairns, a term which I hadn't been familiar with, but which filled me with hope and pride for their future home. The following song “Cairns” evokes that appreciation. CAIRNS (Bill Mesnik)Stones banded by layers of timeStacking stone upon stone upon stoneCreates a monumentA tower sublimeMarking timeThese cairns of stoneChorus:Fly away through Arches in the desertTo a windswept morning beachWhere the sun glistens on the pebblesAs you soarSwiftlyOut of reach You left no lost communicationBefore your flight to the unknownJust some orphansWith no destinationLying lonely in our homeI'll stack stone upon stone upon stoneAnd mark the trail of timeFor some wanderer To wonder onWho left this cairn behind?
SOCCER: Galway United manager John Caulfield with Galway Bay FM's Jonathan Higgins after Men's Premier Division draw with Bohemians
Sean Carley looks back on the sporting weekend including: The Galway Ladies Footballers defeat Kerry to become All-Ireland Senior Football Champions for the first time in 22 years Round 1 of the Bon Secours Galway Senior Football Championship Round 1 of the Sweeney Oil Galway Intermediate Football Championship Galway United battle hard to secure a draw against Bohemians at Dalymount Park Galway United Women defeat Sligo Rovers after extra time to reach the FAI Cup semi-finals
Commentary of Galway United's draw with Bohemian's in the League of Ireland Men's Premier Division by Jonathan Higgins and Kevin Horgan.
Buck Owens (August 12, 1929 – March 25, 2006), and Dwight Yoakam (b. October 23, 1956) : two master navigators of a very unique tributary along the stream of popular music, inspired and learned from each other - one, being the progenitor of the "Bakersfield Sound", and the other his adopted musical progeny. "The Streets of Bakersfield," originally recorded by Buck Owens in 1973, was revived as a duet between the two men in 1988, becoming a chart hit and a popular video. Buck, whose career had gone dark after losing his friend and musical partner, Don Rich in 1974, was sparked back to life when Dwight came into his life. Here Bill and Rich attempt to connect some of the musical catalogue and biographical dots of these two musical giants.
Som smukke sommerfugle eller flyvske muser, har vi længe cirklet om Bohemians. Spillet der startede som designbrætspil på Fastaval og sidste år var Portal Games' flagskib på Essen og lige nu på Gen Con. Nu dykker vi grundigt ned i spillet og snakker om mekanikkerne, om der opstår fortællinger, og hvordan spillet skiller sig ud fra andre moderne deckbuilders. Derudover kommer vi forbi, hvorfor Bohemians måske ikke er blevet den helt store karakterbasker på Board Game Geek og hvad de kommende udvidelser byder på. Til sidst kan du også høre fra Jasper de Lange, som Bo talte med på Essen, da alting gik stærkest for Bohemians.

Inspired by the clear and evocative 1985 translation of the I CHING, by Kerson and Rosemary Huang - a team of a poet and physicist-poet, I kept a diary of musical interpretations of hexagrams which appeared to me when I consulted the oracle over the course of a year.HEXAGRAM 33: RETREAT (Bill Mesnik)"Form is transitory, acquiescing in the flow"I'm yielding to the circumstances, being still and letting go,open to the transformation - going with the flow.I'm gone with the flow in the grip of the tideI don't know - nobody knows if I'll see you on the flip side.What we see ain't what we get, it's not under our control - the tide surges up, then leaves us flat in the midnight coaster rollWhat's the point in making scenes, or, inscribing your little name in stone,When the tide surges up and the beach is swept clean into endless, timeless unknown?I'm gone with the tide in the grip of the flow - Whether or not I'll be purifiedwell, I just don't know.HEXAGRAM 42: INCREASE (Bill Mesnik)"The time of increase does not endure, therefore it must be utilized while it lasts."One hand strengthens the other; on the other hand, I might fall.Could you lend a hand, my brother? I don't have much, but I could lose it all.I'll follow your instructions; you seem to know the way,I played right through the harvest, now my stores are empty at the dark of the day. I heard warnings about the future, but I turned the other way,music soothed my apprehension, and my passions held sway.Now I'm looking for a harbor, and I saw your firelight.Might I bide awhile in your cabin to pass away the dampening night?HEXAGRAM 13: WATCHING (Bill Mesnik)I'm watching - watching... letting things play out in timeAlthough I'm invested in the outcome, I'm just watching, and trailing behind.In the dawn - the anxious dawn... before the pulse of the day,Should it come to pass the shadows grip you, you may not be able to have a say. We are travelers - fond travelers sharing this path for a mile,Although I may want to protect you, we'll only be together a little while.So, I'm watching, watching... letting things play out in time.although I'm invested in the outcome, I'm just watching, and trailing behind.

The story of Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street" has it all: a troubled, ambivalent creator, an unforgettable sax riff whose ownership has spawned controversy for almost 50 years, and a mysterious, compelling lyric. One of Scotland's leading artistic lights, Rafferty, who started as partner to the beloved comedian Billy Connolly in The Humblebums, went on the wow the world with Stealer's Wheel's irresistible mega-hit "Stuck in the middle with you, before torpedoing that early success.

Hexagram 52: THE ARTIFICIAL DARK (Bill Mesnik)The bird sings in his cage,His song sounds full of rage.I'll cover him up - and he's silent,Asleep in the artificial dark.This wine is the color of blood,It releases its dreams in a flood,I'll sleep for awhile and be silentAwash in the artificial dark.Hexagram 62: THUNDER OVER MOUNTAIN (Bill Mesnik)Thunder over mountain - fire in my soulHolding steady, keeping quiet,Trying to stay whole.Burrowed in the mountain,Waiting out the storm,Fighting the urge to run away,Trying to stay warm….Time heals all wounds,Time steals all…Thunder on the mountain…Listen to the squall.As the flames roar up into the heavensI'm rolled up in a ball.Keep your shit together,Morning's coming soon.Patience - all will be rewardedWith the setting of the moon.Time heals all wounds,Time steals all.

Vanguard Records is best known for its eclectic catalog of pivotal jazz, folk, rock and blues recordings by iconic artists like Joan Baez, Linda Ronstadt, Buddy Guy, Charlie Musselwhite, John Fahey, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Doc Watson, Country Joe and the Fish and countless others. Most recently, Vanguard has carried forward the label's legacy of artistic excellence with a diverse roster including Barenaked Ladies, Indigo Girls, O.A.R. and Collective Soul.Riding the tail end of the popular boom of commercialized Folk Music, Vanguard's unexpected mega-hit "Walk Right In" soared to the top of the pop chart. Looking for a long forgotten treasure to mine, Erik Darling and Bill Svanoe, doing what many had done before them, updated an old string band tune, composed by Gus Cannon and recorded with his Jug Stompers in 1929. They arranged it for TWO 12-String guitars (one of which, a leftie model, had to be specially constructed for Bill), and adding the mellifluous tones of Lynne Taylor to complete the trio, the magic concoction was brewed to MOR perfection.And, just in time for Gus Cannon, too! He had recently pawned his banjo to pay his heating bill, and the royalties and national recognition breathed new life into a long dormant career.

Inspired by the clear and evocative 1985 translation of the I CHING, by Kerson and Rosemary Huang - a team of a poet and physicist-poet, I kept a diary of musical interpretations of hexagrams which appeared to me when I consulted the oracle over the course of a year. The result was the album "9 Hexagrams," three of which I offer here.#44 : RENDEZ-VOUS (HEAVEN OVER WIND) / “Persevere” (Bill Mesnik)It's a dangerous hour when darkness reappears,And a sudden shower of your fears drowns your dreams, chokes your screams,Persevere!Judge not, lest ye be judged, and lead me not Into temptation…Persevere!through the dangerous hour, when I've lost my willWhen my soul is sour, and hope is nilFind the will, Forge the will,Crawl uphill —Persevere!#35: ADVANCE (FIRE OVER EARTH) / “Desire” (Bill Mesnik)I want what's on the shelf,I kill myself…I pray upon my knees,I crave release.I'll change my point of view,Each day is new.The pull begins again,Desire has no end.I want your every part,I kill my heart.#24: RETURNING (EARTH OVER THUNDER) / “Echoes” (Bill Mesnik)Echoes are echoing from deep in the ground,Churning, turning all around,As far as I've come, I've come back around,I'm hearing the sound of echoes, echoing from under the ground.Shadows are shadowing from the room down the hall,Dancing, glancing off the wall.Every step that I take, I answer the call Of shadows shadowing in the room down the hall.Whispers, whispering from the waiting graveThrill me, will me to be brave,Each moment arrives in a rush like a wave,It's the rush that I craveAs whispers are whispering from the waiting grave.
The Army (Bill Mesnik)The war you wage is on yourself,The soul you save is not your own.The words you're saying were said beforeby your enemy.The code you honorhas no honor,and all your wisdom makes no sense;you seek for justicebut there's no justice from your enemy.Don't fight back-you will fail,Your best defense is modesty.The war you wage is on yourself -Your sword and shield is modesty.Inspired by the clear and evocative 1985 translation of the I CHING, by Kerson and Rosemary Huang - a team of a poet and physicist-poet, I kept a diary of musical interpretations of hexagrams which appeared to me when I consulted the oracle over the course of a year.The result was the album "9 Hexagrams," which I offer here.The first offering, "the Army" - which concerns advice on "leadership", was how the book responded to my question on the proper way to parent.
Ok, tomorrow is July 4th, our 250th year celebration of our Declaration of Independence. The temperatures are sweltering, both outside and politically. There's been a lot of talk recently about the nation's division, using words like “unprecedented,” but going back over elections past over the the last two and a half centuries, you find that to be a recurring American theme. The founding fathers (about whom we've heard so many patriotic references lately) were embroiled in their own knock down - drag outs: John Adams “Alien and Sedition Acts” of 1797 … that term sound familiar? Trump was evoking it recently during one of his ploys regarding deportation…. Made it a crime to criticize his administration. It backfired because Adams pissed off the moderates, and in 1800 Thomas Jefferson (the writer of the declaration of Independence) won the office with this “Free Speech” anthem:It seems that the author of our Declaration of Independence might also be dubbed the “author of America's Ethnic Cleansing policy” In 1801, a few months after taking the oath of office, Jefferson wrote to James Monroe, then governor of Virginia, outlining his American Dream:“White settlers, sturdy independent farmers, will increase in numbers and eventually cover the whole northern, if not southern continent… nor can we contemplate with satisfaction either blot of mixture on that surface,”Moving on…Let's talk about THE CONSTITUTION for a moment. You may have heard references to this document that we all, INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT, pledge allegiance to as members of a democracy. It's a living document that guarantees us all our rights, and which requires a super majority vote by both the House (the people's house) and the Senate in order to change, and the its only been amended 27 times since its ratification in 1789. Living Document? Does that mean that hard won amendments like the right to vote, which people fought and died for to make us “a more perfect union” - can be taken away if a tyrant finds it a threat to their power? The following songs illustrate the ongoing challenges that opposed, and continue to threaten our right to vote - (the 15th amendment, passed in 1869, which granted the right to African American Men), but which was impeded - by any means necessary - in Southern states, until 1965 with the passing of a federal ‘Voting Rights Act - (but, is currently being threatened again).And the 19th amendment, finally passed in 1920, which gave this fundamental right to women (half of the population) - after many decades of struggle by the women's suffrage movement.Hearing these songs again, reminds me to keep some perspective during this broiling holiday season. Thanks for listening everyone. Enjoy your holiday, and stay safe.

McNally transcript Stu Levitan welcomes historian, author and music publicist Dennis McNally, whose new book is The Last Great Dream: How Bohemians Became Hippies and Created the Sixties. And while it's mainly about San Francisco, with a bit of New York and London thrown in, it does feature several individuals and events pertaining directly to Madison. So that's why you get to hear about it here. Dennis's first book was include Desolate Angel: Jack Kerouac, the Beat Generation and America, an outgrowth of his doctoral dissertation at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst; then came A Long Strange Trip: The Inside Story of the Grateful Dead, which he wrote after serving many years as the band's publicist; and in 2015 the award-winning On Highway 61: Music, Race and the Evolution of Cultural Freedom, tracking American music from minstrelsy to Bob Dylan. He also edited Jerry on Jerry, transcripts of conversations he had over the years with Jerry Garcia. Here's our conversation about The Last Great Dream: How Bohemians Became Hippies and Created the Sixties.
HOT FUN IN THE SUMMERTIME / SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE (EPIC, 1969)The sweltering summer of 2023 is almost over, and all over the world folks are digging themselves out from under the epic disasters of the past months. Listening to this psych-soul ditty from 1969, one may be momentarily transported back to a cozier time of blotter acid and beach coolers. The carefree tone of the record, however, belies the fact that at the same time that he was jamming on this anthem, an ever-increasingly paranoid Sly Stone was starting to hole himself up in his mansion with bowls of cocaine and a drum machine - from which he would emerge 2 years later with THERE'S A RIOT GOIN' ON - transmitting a wholly different vibe. And, also, let's not forget the murderous Altamont concert of 1969 (documented in the Rolling Stone's film GIMME SHELTER), along with the concurrent killings carried out by the Manson kids - and you realize that everywhere you looked there were emblems of a time when chaos reigned, symbolizing an era of psychic climate change in America.Well, nostalgic or not, music has powers to soothe and direct our minds to kinder, gentler regions. It gives us a moment to meditate and reflect - a time out before we have to brave the cacophony once again. Some say “nostalgia” is defined as a sickness - homesickness. We're urged to be forward looking and adapt to whatever the future holds. But, it's ok to take a moment to remember and savor the joys of summers past. Just don't forget to wear your sunblock.SUNLIGHT by The Youngbloods (RCA, 1969)I'm a romantic; I admit it. I believe in true love, and the moments of ecstatic togetherness that enable one to transcend all the struggles and grief of life. And, this song reanimates this awakening each time I hear it: by the rolling chords off the nylon string guitar, eliciting the feeling of a fresh breeze of possibility; Jesse Colin Young's falsetto voice (one of nature's finest) projecting such hopeful innocence; and, the lyrics, which tenderly describe scenes of eternal bliss. I loved Jesse and The Youngbloods from the first time I put down the needle on Grizzly Bear (the first cut on the debut album). It was a bonus disc from the Columbia Record Club, and since that moment, the relationship with Jesse, Banana, and the boys, during the RCA years, was a meaningful one for me. After they went to Warners, and subsequently split up, the love affair was over.But, the remarkable Elephant Mountain, the last collection from RCA, produced by a young Charlie Daniels, delivered this song, along with Darkness, Darkness - in a collage of Sunlight and Shadow. Jesse said that this was the first song he wrote after moving to California, and I understand it. As a New Yorker relocating to the Golden State, I too was struck by the quality of the light which casts a spell that makes one unable to sense the passage of time, and the seasons. Years flew by, the mirror mocks me, but the romantic in me remains ever innocent.MILLION DOLLAR BASH by BOB DYLAN with THE BAND (From the Basement Tapes, Columbia, 1967)Ooh, Baby, Ooooh wee!Ooh, baby, oooooh wee!It's that Million Dollar Bash.I hear that chorus and I'm smiling. It's a celebration, a party. Dylan and the boys are off the hard road, and they're just having fun in the Big Pink basement with the Revox tape recorder. There has been some interpretative gobble dee gook about it being Dylan's satirical payback to Andy Warhol and his pretentious Factory parties, with a salvo to Edie Sedgwick - the (“big dumb blonde) -, who dumped him, but really, that feels like a stretch. Those intimations might be there, but when Bob sings:“Well, I'm hittin' it too hard, my stones won't take-I get up in the morning but it's too early to wake,First it's hello, goodbye, then push and then crash,But we're all gonna make it at that mIllion dollar bash!It feels to me like an expression of sweet release. An appreciation for the moment at hand. And, imagining where the heads of the bar band turned folk-rock players assembled in that bucolic place were at…. -, the men who, for me, comprised the greatest American band in rock history - in the chrysalis from which they were about to emerge to ignite a musical revolution - I can feel the spontaneous energy of joyous creation. Oooh baby, Oooh weeeee!

The concept to which The Rascals were dedicated was, in Felix Cavaliere's words, "Marvin Gaye's voice, Ray Charles' piano, Jimmy Smith's organ, Phil Spector's production and The Beatles' writing. Put them all together and you've got what I wanted to do." A White Rock band playing Black Soul music was a new idea for Pop in 1965. "The great thing about music in the 1960s was that people were discovering there was no color barrier in the business. We were respected by the Black groups we loved as much as we respected them," noted Cornish. The Rascals' music was dubbed blue-eyed Soul, a term Cavaliere never cared for. "I always hated the label because it created a separation between Black and White music. It was a marketing concept. As soon as you put a drum in music, it's R&B. I wish it wouldn't have been called blue-eyed Soul. My eyes aren't blue."The band's first release for Atlantic was called "I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore" which rose to #52 in the U.S. in 1965, but it was their 1966 effort, "Good Lovin'" that made them Rock 'n' Roll stars. The song quickly rose to the number one spot on Billboard's Hot 100 and went Gold. They followed with two more Top 20 hits, "You Better Run" (#20) and "I've Been Lonely Too Long" (#16) later the same year.The writing was a key component of the band's success, as sixteen of their eighteen chart records were written by Cavaliere alone or in tandem with frequent collaborator Eddie Brigati. As the song writing progressed, social commentary began to show up in the music. The group's growing ambition was reflected in the change from The Young Rascals to simply The Rascals. The word "young" had originally been inserted before the band's name for legal reasons. It seems there was a group named Johnny Pulleo & The Harmonica Rascals who claimed a proprietary interest. "We were embarrassed about that, 'cause we were trying to be a Soul band," said Cornish. "It wasn't The Silver Rascals or The Rockin' Rascals, it was The Young Rascals! And we had to live with it. By the time we got to Groovin', we said, 'Well, enough of this. We are The Rascals.'"A high point for both Cornish and Cavaliere was 1968's #1 hit "People Got To Be Free". "The message in songs like 'People Got To Be Free' is as important now as it ever was," said Gene. It was written in reaction to the King and Kennedy assassinations that year. In fact, Cavaliere had worked for the RFK campaign. "That the song was #1 in places like Berlin and South Africa meant a lot to me," said Felix. Despite the initial resistance to the political nature of the song, it went on to become The Rascals' biggest-selling record. It was also their last #1 hit. The Rascals followed with "A Ray Of Hope" (#24 in 1968), "Heaven" (#39 in 1969), "See" (#27 in 1969) and "Carry Me Back" (#26 in 1969). Two other 1970 releases, "Hold On" (#81) and "Glory Glory" (#71) failed to crack the Top 40, and a song called "Love Me" was a miserable flop when it peaked at #99 during a one week stay on the Hot 100 in the Summer of 1971. The Jazz-tinged experimentation of later albums like "Peaceful World" and "The Island Of Real" (which Cavaliere once called "The best record I ever made") proved less commercial than the group's earlier Garage Band Soul. Management was less than supportive of the new directions the band was headed in and a switch to the Columbia label in 1971 failed to provide the new life they were looking for. Personal frictions were on the rise too, and eventually Brigati and Cornish quit the band. They were replaced with Buzzy Feiten (from The Paul Butterfield Blues Band) and Ann Sutton, who had sung with various Soul and Jazz groups in Philadelphia. By 1972, The Rascals called it quits.

We originally broadcast this episode of election nonsense prior to the debate of 2024, and listening to it anew we are reminded of how drastically things can change, while at the same time aligning eerily with the past. Happy 250th, everybody! The Gladiators are approaching the cage.
Chip Taylor (3/21/1940 - 3/23/2026)Like a cat with nine lives, Chip Taylor's persona embodied many iterations. Starting with his successful “songwriter for hire” status, penning golden hits like Wild Thing, and Angel of the Morning, up through his phoenix-like resurgence as an Americana elder statesman, the story of this man's artistic survival, emerging as it did, out from the quicksand of addiction, stands as one of the Splendid Bohemian's tales of celebration.https://www.songhall.org/profile/chip_taylorBROWSE THROUGH THE CATALOG OF CHIP'S RECORD LABEL "TRAIN WRECK RECORDS" https://www.trainwreckrecords.com/
26 years ago, before the election of George W. Bush in 2000, I wrote, produced and starred in a show about the history of the campaign song, called "Muckrakers," with the fabulous Linda Kerns. Given that this bicentennial election season is heating up, I thought it'd be fun to revisit some songs from elections past…Let's look at one from 1856...Some background: in 1854 was “Bleeding Kansas” - a bitter dispute between pro and anti-slavery forces over that territory, which led to the break up of the two major parties and the formation of a new one — THE REPUBLICANS — who vowed to oppose any further extension of slavery. But, THE DEMOCRATIC WINNER OF THE 1856 ELECTION WAS….?Many people consider him the WORST president we've ever had (until now) - because he might have prevented the Civil War, and he blew it. I'll give you a hint: he was a bachelor - girl he was engaged to as a youth committed suicide. One eye was nearsighted, the other far - so he held his head a a funny angle….Got it? He was the quote: “most available, and most unobjectionable JAMES BUCHANAN, former Secretary of State to Polk, who once called him “an able man,” but added that, “he sometimes acts like an old maid.”Nevertheless, Bucky won big! Carried every Southern state, except Maryland and six free states - proving that the majority still put the preservation of the Union above all else. And, that is exactly what Stephen Foster's WHITE HOUSE CHAIR urged the voters to do.
