"For an experiment, I denoted the last ten generations and attempted to define the song of their generation. Some were easy and some quite difficult. I offer five possibilities first and then pick. See if I made the correct choice."
"I was talking about the Paul is Dead conspiracy theory in class one day and the students began asking me if I knew about THIS theory. And then THIS theory. We went on for 30 minutes and then I did some research. There were so many theories I had never heard of. Hopefully they are new to you as well. We have a long list."

Die wilden Pioniertage sind vorbei. In den 1980er-Jahren wächst die Loreley zu einer festen Größe der internationalen Rockszene heran. Die Bühne wird größer, die Produktionen spektakulärer und die Liste der auftretenden Bands immer prominenter. Gemeinsam mit Dire Straits-Bassist John Illsley und Wishbone Ash-Gitarrist Andy Powell reisen wir in ein Jahrzehnt voller musikalischer Veränderungen. Härtere Gitarrenklänge, gigantische Open Air-Shows und eine Atmosphäre, die bis heute unvergessen ist. Barclay James Harvest-Sänger John Lees erinnert sich an die Magie eines Publikums, das seine Begeisterung noch mit Feuerzeugen statt Smartphone-Lichtern ausdrückte. Die Folge erzählt, wie aus einem Festival eine Institution wurde – und warum manche Konzerte nicht nur musikalisch, sondern auch hinter den Kulissen für spektakuläre Geschichten sorgten. __________ Kapitel • (01:05) – Auf in die 80er! • (05:11) – Heavy Metal auf der Loreley • (07:45) – Dire Straits werden auf den Rockfelsen eingeladen • (20:46) – Staus und Verkehrschaos beim Festival • (24:53) – Booking für die Loreley • (26:22) – Bootlegs und Konzertmitschnitte • (28:21) – John Lees erinnert sich an die Loreley • (32:20) – Ausblick auf Folge 3 __________ ARD-Podcast-Tipp: "Der verbotene Vater" im Podcast "Alles Geschichte - Der History-Podcast": https://1.ard.de/alles-geschichte-der-verbotene-vater
This episode explores the prophetic theme of moving through a season of "dire straits" into a promised place of breakthrough, using Israel's crossing of the Jordan as a biblical model. We teach about a shift from supernatural provision in the wilderness to participating in harvest, new leadership, and a changed mindset for the season ahead.
9E28 went out live from the TSORR Myoli Beach studio on 9 July 2026. It's quite a diverse show, something here for everybody. One of those shows where I just had too much music and not enough time. Rock and Metal Time Machine had far too many interesting things happening for me to squeeze into an hour. For the next few weeks in The Diabolical Challenge, we'll look at final albums made by legendary bands, and we kicked it off this week with: Black Sabbath - 13Van Halen - Different Kind of TruthRush - Clockwork AngelsMotörhead - Bad MagicTwo-thirds of the way through the show I heard of the sad passing of Annette McClellan, who was a drummer for No Friends Of Harry. Many listeners to the show will know the band and will have seen them live. We paid our respects to Annette, who was an amazing drummer, and listened to 'A Long Way Home'. RIP Annette, thank you for the music. On a personal note, I closed the show with a tribute to Anita Sayer-Hickson, who passed away on 3 July. My deepest condolences to her sister Penny.

This episode explores the biblical "dire straits" period from the 17th of Tammuz to the 9th of Av, connecting historic sorrow to today's global tensions—especially around Israel, Iran, and international waters. Through Scripture, prophetic insight, and the proverb "wait and see," we urge you the listener, to stay alert, pray for leaders and persecuted believers, and expect possible turnarounds and divine intervention during this critical season.
durée : 00:04:15 - par : Max Dozolme - Le 29 novembre 1985, il y a 40 ans, sortait le single "Walk of Life", l'un des plus grands tubes du groupe de rock britannique Dire Straits.

"When you listen to Van Halen or Extreme or Steely Dan you expect a great guitar solo. The point of this show is to offer some examples of totally unexpected solos. These are solos in a song or a genre or by an artists that it seems to be coming out of nowhere. "

"Back on May 31st Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson chided an audience for chanting USA. Much of the audience then walked out. I wondered if this had happened before and it certainly did. We have multiple examples of an audience turning on the performer and vice versa. For many we have the audio from the stage."

Formed in 1977, Dire Straits was one of the big bands of the 80s and early 90s with global hits like Money for Nothing and Walk of Life.
"The new owners of Fender since 2020 are attempting to own the copyright on the Stratocaster body. A German court has taken them part of the way but most experts don't believe it will hold up to scrutiny. Nonetheless, Fender has sent Cease and Desist letters to multiple guitar makers telling them to stop production, call back orders and destroy stock. Fender may have just committed brand suicide because history is not on their side."
"The New York Times released their 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters list a short while ago. I know online lists usually have some click bait to start conversation but this list was overtly egregious. Not for who was on it. It was who was left off. We will go over the list and play some artists that should have been on there."
"It is no secret that music contracts can be rather brutal on artists. Often the stories focus on not getting paid but there is also the interesting idea of a lawsuit ordering a musician to fill his or her contract and record what we are calling a court ordered album. We have multiple examples plus one where the band was paid NOT to record an album."
"Sony Music Publishing confirmed an agreement to acquire Blackstone's Recognition Music Group catalog for $3.5 billion. The Red Hot Chili Peppers just sold their catalog for $300 million. Other Funds are raising billions to start buying. These buyers are called Music Rights Funds. I became interested in how these Funds actually made money. How does one invest and can I sell my own music. I have the answers for you."
"Many summer tours are having to scale back or cancel altogether. The nickname given to this practice is Blue Dot Fever. It is named after the blue dots that appear on unsold seats when a ticket buyer uses Ticketmaster. It has become indicative of a larger societal and financial concern that is leading to people not being able to attend live music. We will explain."
Se cumplen 30 años de la publicación de este clásico que marcaría para siempre el devenir del cómic superheroico. Tras varios años de preparación y trabajo, en 1996 vería por fin la luz Kingdom Come, una obra que partiendo de un concepto de Alex Ross fue el fruto de una dialéctica no siempre amable, pero sí intensa y cargada de talento entre él y el guionista Mark Waid. Kingdom Come es una obra coral de todo el universo DC, pero es sobre todo una historia de Superman y, como representante no solo de DC sino de todo el género superheroico, un alegato y reafirmación de éste que llegó en un momento donde sus valores fundamentales habían entrado en decadencia. Kingdom Come marca un antes y un después y será el cómic en el que muchos seguirán mirándose hoy en día, para bien y para mal. La noche es caliente como el infierno. Todo se te pega. Una asquerosa habitación de un asqueroso barrio de una asquerosa ciudad. El aparato de aire acondicionado es un pedazo de chatarra que no podría enfriar ni una bebida aunque la metieras dentro. Parece el sitio perfecto para escuchar el podcast 419 de ELHDLT Selección musical: Kingdom Come, de Manowar Kingdom Come, de Dire Straits

L'album de la semaine se penche sur le huitième disque de l'Américain Kevin Morby, "Little Wide Open", dont on découvre aujourd'hui l'extrait "Badlands" inspiré par les vastes paysages du Midwest. Enfin, la reprise du jour s'annonce envoûtante : l'artiste électro-folk islandais Ásgeir s'approprie la célèbre chanson "Heart-Shaped Box" de Nirvana.

"On April 16 2026 A federal jury in Manhattan found that Ticketmaster and its parent company Live Nation have been acting as a monopoly. The case is wide ranging involving 33 states and the District of Columbia. Live Nation will not appeal any of the verdicts. We will discuss what is a monopoly and what these decisions could mean for the future."
Today, Sandy sits down with John Illsley, founding member and bassist of Dire Straits, for an intimate and revealing conversation about the extraordinary journey behind one of the most iconic bands in rock history.John takes us right back to the beginning, sharing the story of how a modest council flat in South London became the unlikely birthplace of Dire Straits. It was there that a chance encounter with Mark Knopfler—via his brother David—sparked a musical partnership that would go on to change their lives forever. What followed was a series of coincidences that feel almost like fate, from forming the band to recording their first demo tape.He recalls the pivotal moment when that demo, featuring Sultans of Swing, landed in the hands of influential radio DJ Charlie Gillett and was played on air—setting off a chain reaction that saw record companies clamouring to sign them almost overnight. It was the breakthrough that launched Dire Straits onto the global stage.From there, John reflects on the band's meteoric rise through the late 1970s and 1980s, as they became one of the biggest acts in the world. With timeless hits like Money for Nothing, Romeo and Juliet, Tunnel of Love and Brothers in Arms, Dire Straits created a sound that continues to resonate across generations. John shares insights into the creative process, the importance of band chemistry, and the unique musical connection he shared with Mark Knopfler.But alongside the success came the realities of life on the road. John speaks candidly about the pressures of global touring, the physical and emotional toll it took, and the moment the band realised it was time to step away. Despite playing to millions and reaching extraordinary heights, they made the difficult decision to walk away after their final tour in the early 1990s—preserving both their legacy and their relationships.The conversation also explores John's life beyond Dire Straits. He talks about his autobiography My Life in Dire Straits, a deeply personal reflection on the band's journey, as well as his eighth solo album Eight, created during lockdown in collaboration with his son. It's a project that highlights not only his enduring creativity but also the importance of family and connection.John also opens up about his passion for painting, his ongoing work as a musician, and his perspective on ageing, resilience and purpose. Having faced significant health challenges, including a long battle with leukaemia, he reflects on life with gratitude and a renewed sense of balance.Warm, thoughtful and often quietly humorous, this episode offers a rare glimpse into the life of a musician whose work helped define a generation—and who continues to evolve, create and inspire.If you'd like, I can also tailor a slightly shorter version for podcast apps that cut off descriptions early, or add a stronger hook in the first two lines to boost click-through.
Cheap tickets, warm beer, draughty halls and refectories, a whole new cobbled-together rock circuit was born in the ‘60s for an audience who watched and listened intently.

1986: The Year Everything Sounded Like the Future From Prince and Madonna to the smooth grooves of Dire Straits and Robert Palmer, we're rewinding to the ultimate peak of the 80s. Join Mike Savage at 9:00 AM as he counts down the hits that defined an era. Grab a coffee, hit the power button, and let the nostalgia take over.
While films had been made to promote music dating back to at least the 1960s, the music video became a fixture of pop culture in the 1980s. Accelerated by the birth of MTV, MuchMusic, and VH1, music videos in the 80s experienced extraordinary growth in both popularity and artistic creativity. The decade would produce countless iconic music videos, giving renowned artists a second shot at relevancy, launching a whole new wave of aesthetically minded pop stars, and providing unlikely artists a shot at ubiquity with wild conceptual videos. So join the Great Pop Culture Debate as we attempt to name the Best 1980s Music Video!Videos discussed: “Take On Me” by A-HA!; “Thriller” by Michael Jackson; “Like a Prayer” by Madonna”; “Sledgehammer” by Peter Gabriel; “Love Shack” by The B-52s; “Addicted to Love” by Robert Palmer; “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper; “You Can Call Me Al” by Paul Simon; “Money for Nothing” by Dire Straits; “Hungry Like the Wolf” by Duran Duran; “When Doves Cry” by Prince; “Video Killed the Radio Star” by The Buggles; “(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party)” by Beastie Boys; “Faith” by George Michael; “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” by Whitey Houston; “Total Eclipse of the Heart” by Bonnie TylerJoin host Eric Rezsnyak and panelists Derek Mekita, John Higgins, and Kate Racculia as they discuss and debate 16 of the most iconic music videos that defined 80s airwaves.For the warm-up to this episode, in which we discuss additional 1980s videos that didn't make the bracket, become a Patreon supporter of the podcast today.

Singer, producer and the songwriter behind iconic songs of Carrie Underwood, Guy Clark, Willie Nelson, Keith Urban, Faith Hill and many many more, Gordie Sampson joins me this week to talk about the 1985 Dire Straits classic 'Money for Nothing', how Mark Knopfler and co chased the edges of new digital music recording technology, the stories behind 'Money for Nothing' and that signature guitar sound, the personnel changes in the band during recording, how Gordie connected with the album as a Canadian teenager, how 'Brothers in Arms' has found a second life in some of TV's greatest moments and more.
"Just a bit of fun this week. Nobody is perfect so it is pretty easy to hear mistakes in recorded music. Here are some of the big ones in rock and hopefully some you did not know. Once you hear them, you cannot unhear them."
Friends,Today, Heather and I try to make sense out of this week's riddles: What is Trump's strategy for reopening the Strait of Hormuz? What's he doing to stop his base from unraveling over his failed war? How can he avoid a “blue wave” in the midterm elections? And, by the way, why are jobs so hard to come by these days, anyway? We answer these and other riddles of the week. Please pull up a chair, grab a cuppa, and join the conversation. This is a public episode.

"The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry has released its 2026 State of the Industry Report. There are some pretty big take aways including stances on AI and the fact that the music industry is now more profitable than ever before. We will explore the findings."
IRAN HAS decided to play red light, green light with the Strait of Hormuz. Less than 24 hours after President Trump announced the opening of the critical waterway, Iran declared it closed again. Further, two Indian flagged tankers reportedly came under fire from Iranian speedboats. This suggests that negotiations between the US and Iran over a peaceful resolution to Operation Epic Fury are simply a stalling tactic by the Iranian regime, perhaps counting on Democrats winning the midterm elections or even the 2028 presidential election. Given the way Presidents Biden and Obama willingly sent billions of dollars to Tehran, you can hardly blame them. We discuss the bind into which Iran has placed China, which gets up to 20% of its oil imports from the Islamic regime – at a deep discount because Iran has few buyers for its oil due to sanctions. This is exacerbated by China's loss of access to Venezuelan oil. As a result, China has had to suddenly ramp up its purchases of American oil to roughly $10 billion worth per month. In addition, the United States just signed a defense agreement with Indonesia. That nation sits on the west side of the cap, Strait of Malacca, a waterway even more critical to China's oil imports than the Strait of Hormuz. And to make things more interesting, American oil sails through the Panama Canal, which is now once again under American control, thanks to President Trump. In short, the United States now controls China's access to about 25% of its oil imports, and has military control over waterways through which about 80% of Chinese oil imports flow, for which the Chinese must now pay full price. This may be President Trump's way of responding to China's threats to control American access to critical rare earth minerals. We also discuss the corrupting influence of social media on sharing the gospel. Children now graduate high school so reliant on artificial intelligence that they literally don't see the need to read anything longer than a menu. So, reading the Bible is a concept that is completely foreign to them. Sharon's niece, Sarah Sachleben, is fighting stage 4 bowel cancer, and the medical bills are piling up.

Host Jesse Jackson welcomes London-based journalist Maddie Frye to a “timey-wimey” episode of Set Lusting Bruce, exploring her path to Bruce Springsteen and U2 and how music shaped her spiritual and political awakening. Maddie, who writes about religion, sex, politics, and pop culture, describes growing up near London with parents who loved Bowie, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, and Genesis, discovering U2 at 12–13 through All That You Can't Leave Behind, and finding Springsteen via a 2006 BBC broadcast of the Seeger Sessions that felt both political and spiritually transformative. She discusses working backward through Bruce's catalog, key live shows (including London 2013 and Liverpool with Paul McCartney), family connections to Springsteen, and reflections on religion's relationship with power. Maddie answers the “Thunder Road” question—Mary gets in the car—and shares where to find her Substack, U2 and Us. 00:00 Podcast Welcome 00:45 Meet Maddie 01:55 Growing Up Musical Roots 04:07 Finding Bruce via Seeger 06:23 Seeger Sessions Meaning 10:30 Working Backwards Catalog 14:12 Live Shows Life Changes 18:54 How Many Shows Seen 20:45 Discovering U2 Obsession 23:20 Fandom Numbers Talk 24:52 Writing Religion Politics 25:02 Music Sparks Big Questions 26:24 Faith Through Lyrics 28:00 Reading Toward Belief 29:22 Faithless Research Journey 32:53 Religion Meets Politics 36:13 Radical Gospel Values 41:01 Privilege Luck and Power 44:03 Liverpool Show Memories 46:06 Facing Mortality of Icons 48:24 Thunder Road Mary Answer 49:48 Where to Find Maddie 50:53 Podcast Wrap and Housekeeping Learn more about your ad choices.

From the resilience of sanctioned economies to the vulnerabilities of Gulf states, this conversation examines whether we are entering a new era of fragmentation and economic realignment.We ask difficult but necessary questions:Are Gulf Arab states truly stable? Why didn't energy get used as leverage during Gaza? Is liberal capitalism reaching its limits?

Refineries and tankers in and around the Strait of Hormuz continue to come under attack from Iranian drones and missiles, with new supreme leader Khamenei promising the fun will continue until the US feels the economic pain of its actions. Then, he interviews democrat Crystal Rhoades who has been the Douglas County Clerk of the District Court in Nebraska. Rhoades is running for election to the House to represent Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District in the Democratic primary scheduled on May 12th.
