This week, a continuation of our series called “In The Shadow Of…”, where we compare obscure bands to a mainstream act. This is not about copycats, but more about artists with similar vibes, a shared sonic landscape, or whose songwriting and playing styles are sympatico. This is another band that is near and dear to both of your humble hosts. A band that is synonymous with the word “Rock n' Roll”. A band of outlaws, rebels, and riffage; the iconic MOTÖRHEAD! Join us as we discover other bands that were influenced and inspired by England's loudest band.What's this InObscuria thing? We're a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This is not a statement about bands trying to copy one another, but more that they have a shared sound and vision. It's been said that there is no originality left in rock n' roll and also been stated that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. As always, we hope we turn you onto something new!Songs this week include:City Kings – “Cherry” from Steel Rock N Roll (2023)Asomvel – “Louder And Louder” from Born To Rock ‘n' Roll(2024)Newsted – “Soldierhead” from Metal - EP (2013)Gunslinger – “Smoke Wagon” from Amped Up (2025)Whitespade – “Below The Law” from Whitespade (2022)Girlschool – “Bomber” from St. Valentine's Day Massacre - EP (1981)Chrome Division – “Booze, Broads, & Beelzebub” from Booze, Broads, & Beelzebub(2008)Brass Against – “Ace Of Spades” from Ace Of Spades - Single(2025)Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/https://www.facebook.com/InObscuriahttps://x.com/inobscuriahttps://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/Buy cool stuff with our logo on it: InObscuria StoreCheck out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/If you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/

This week's guest, Ricki “The Dude” Bedenbaugh sits in for a 2-hour bonanza podcast to kick off December talking Ryan Sheckler's Costco kickflip, Bachinsky's El Toro kickflip (just to name a couple of epic moments Ricki filmed). Nerd out as we discuss timelapse's, super slow-mo, film vs video, Elvis Presley vs Triple Six Mafia, the one-shot filming technique, the origin story of his nickname "The Dude", girls with four wheels on each foot, working for Element, being the old guy while the young ones are raging, break dancing at weddings, Coffee and Curbs, and the art of shitting your pants. Lots to digest in this one and we even have cameos from our dogs, Honey Bee and Alfredo.VENI•AUDIVI•DIDICIRICKI BEDENBAUGH: / rickithedude --------------------------------------- SUBSCRIBE NOW: https://bit.ly/2RYE75F---------------------------------------INTRO MUSIC: "Mary's Cross" by NaturINTERVIEW & EDITED: Greg "Schmitty" Smith CREDITS MUSIC: “Adirondack gate” by Shane MedanichCLOSING MONOLOGUE: Noelle FioreEXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: Sharal Camisa SmithSMFM MUSIC DIRECTOR: Shane Medanich / onsmfm SMFM GUEST BAND: Erosion (www.instagram.com/erosion__)WEBSITE: https://talkinschmit.com/YOUTUBE: / talkinschmit INSTAGRAM: @Talkin_SchmitFACEBOOK: / talkinschmit --------------------------------------- CONTACT with comments or suggestions: TalkinSchmit@Gmail.com--------------------------------------- SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS:BLOOD WIZARD (http://bloodwizard.com/) BLUE PLATE (http://www.blueplatesf.com/)ORO COFFEE (http://www.instagram.orocoffeeroasters_sf--------------------------------------- #skateboarding #podcast #talkinschmit #RickiBedenbaugh #kickflip #ollie
Today on another encore episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are speaking to musician Matt Axton about his larger-than-life actor, musician, spokesman and songwriter dad, Hoyt Axton. Now if you grew up in the eighties, you would know Hoyt from Gremlins. If you grew up in the 70s, you'd know him as the songwriter to the smash hit "Joy To The World" made popular by Three Dog Night and in the sixties perhaps the hit show Bonanza. As Matt explains to us, his dad was many things to many people, a shit kicking psychedelic cowboy, a Busch beer pitchman and even Mogwai's dad. Everyone could relate to Hoyt. We also talk about the fact that Matt is a third generation musician, as his grandmother was known as the Queen of Nashville. Mae Boren Axton, was a well-known songwriter of more than 200 songs including – get this – "Heartbreak Hotel". Now that's some serious lineage. To know that your grandmother introduced Elvis Presley to his manager, Colonel Tom Parker is just a bit of a mind fuck. Our conversation with Matt was both melancholy and prideful. Matt was fiercely proud of his dad's legacy in country music and in film and television but he also let us know that for reasons you will hear, he has almost nothing of his father's possessions but his own memories. But he's not bitter. In fact, he's got a terrific outlook and draws on his dad's legacy to push him in his own career. Matt loves the one nighters, the travel, the live music and the recording. After all, it's in his blood. This is the Rarified Heir Podcast and everyone has a story.
A St. Charles County judge who agreed to resign after being accused of misconduct by the state of Missouri, including for dressing in an Elvis Presley costume while on the bench, appears to have changed his mind. St. Louis on the Air producer Danny Wicentowski has the latest in the case.
L'arrivée de l'incroyable série Anthology sur Disney+, 22 ans après la sortie en box DVD du plus monumental “doc” rock jamais réalisé, va à n'en pas douter fasciner plusieurs générations de spectateurs. Car bien au-delà du triomphe commercial jamais égalé, c'est surtout l'histoire des quatre musiciens qui vaut la peine d'être racontée. Les Beatles, c'est le Seigneur des Anneaux, le Star Wars, les Chevaliers de la Table Ronde du rock'n'roll, en clair la plus grande légende du XX° siècle, foisonnante, touchante et truffée de rebondissements aussi inattendus que spectaculaires. Vrai, qui à la fin des années 40 aurait pu prédire un tel destin à ces gamins courant dans les rues pour jouer dans les “bombies” comme on les appelle à Liverpool. Oh ils ignorent ce que ça veut dire mais c'est dans ces terrains vagues, plaies béantes dans des quartiers bombardés durant la guerre qui les a vus naître, que ces mômes aux genoux écorchés et gelés ont trouvé leur terrain de jeu. Ils n'imaginent pas une vie en dehors de Liverpool, cette cité portuaire noircie par la pollution des usines et des bateaux qui y accostent venant du monde entier. Ils parlent d'ailleurs un Anglais très singulier, le scouse, que personne ne comprend une fois qu'on s'en éloigne de dix miles. Pourtant, à l'automne 1960, nous les retrouvons dans un autre port, Hambourg, une ville qui a bien des points communs avec la leur. Particulièrement ses quartiers mal famés, hantés par des marins ivres le soir, errant jusqu'au bout de la nuit parmi les putes, comme ils disent, et voguant de cafés en lieux de débauche où on apprécie les groupes britanniques, les seuls à pouvoir jouer cette musique américaine des Elvis Presley et autres Bill Haley qu'ils apprécient tant. Ils sont alors six Beatles à jouer dans les bars de Reeperbahn et ses rues voisines. Oui, on parle toujours du 5ème Beatle mais ils sont six à en avoir fait partie officiellement. John Lennon a fondé les Quarrymen en 1956 alors qu'il était à la Quarry Bank High School, rejoint par Paul McCartney l'année suivante, puis George Harrison et enfin, Stuart Sutcliffe et Pete Best. Ils sont donc cinq, quatre guitaristes et un batteur, c'est d'ailleurs la maman du dernier arrivé, Pete Best, qui en leur trouvant pas mal d'engagements a enfin apporté une stabilité au groupe. Sans la maman de Pete, les Beatles auraient peut-être disparu des radars. Et tant qu'on parle des Beatles, c'est John et Stuart qui ont trouvé ce nom en janvier 1960.Alors imaginez l'arrivée à Hambourg fin 1960 pour ces jeunes hommes qui n'ont jamais franchi les frontières de la Grande-Bretagne. Assis sur leur matos dans le mini-minibus de leur manager qui n'est autre que le patron du Jacaranda, un café de Liverpool, ils débarquent en fin de soirée après avoir traversé la Hollande. Le patron de la boîte où ils doivent jouer, l'Indra, pas très chaleureux, les loge dans une pièce en béton sans fenêtre avec des matelas par terre, dans un cinéma borderline, avec juste les water sans eau chaude pour se débarbouiller. Ces deux lieux aujourd'hui encore miraculeusement intacts, c'est là où les Beatles vont apprendre leur métier en jouant plusieurs heures toutes les nuits, et où ils vont croiser Ringo Starr, le futur sixième Beatle qui joue avec un autre groupe de Liverpool. Mais c'est surtout là qu'ils vont comprendre le contact avec le public mieux que leurs semblables british et développer leur art comme personne, faisant d'eux le groupe de scène le plus phénoménal qu'on ait vu, suscitant des émotions dans le public féminin comme plus jamais on en verra. Non, vraiment, quand quatre ans plus tard, les Beatles débarquent à New York, aucun Américain n'a vu et entendu jouer LEUR musique comme le font les Beatles. C'est sauvage, le public exulte, leurs parents sont horrifiés.
This week, we are diving into San Jose Stage's production of Million Dollar Quartet — the electrifying musical inspired by the legendary jam session with Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins.
Theatre of the MIND presents a tremendous collection of truly fascinating, yet totally unrehearsed, performances by volunteer audience members under the guidance of Robert LAMAR. These volunteers become the stars of this expertly produced presentation that should not be confused with what many would consider traditional hypnosis. Throughout Theatre of the MIND, LAMAR invites his audience into a world where he encourages volunteers to enter a highly focused state of attention. Perhaps, for the first time in their lives, participants let their hidden creative personalities leap to their full potential as LAMAR masterfully taps into their unexplored creativity. Volunteers may assume the persona of popular icons like Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Shania Twain or President George W. Bush. All of these pseudo stars may share the stage with another volunteer preoccupied with capturing a six foot grasshopper in one of many hilarious scenes. The performances of the audience volunteers are completely unrehearsed. In fact, as Theatre of the MIND unfolds, it is very difficult to believe the participants are simply audience members. Because of this, each performance of Theatre of the MIND is totally unique. Every show is a one of a kind experience. In addition, a technically clever combination of music, lighting and special effects combine to create a modern show that appeals to today's audiences. Theatre of the MIND is an original and a professional family show. Volunteers are not embarrassed or humiliated in any way, and all in attendance benefit from LAMAR's two decades of study and experience in this specialized art. This is certainly one of Canada's most consistently acclaimed hypnotic attractions. Audiences are certain to be amazed whenever they enter Theatre of the MIND.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

In this episode, I'm breaking down one of the coolest hidden details from the 2025 CMA Awards: Luke Combs quietly wore a vintage Omega watch once gifted from Johnny Cash to Elvis Presley. Yes, that watch — engraved and full of country music history.I'm also giving a little pre-Thanksgiving pep talk… including when to go live if the family drama pops off and why someone always brings up politics no matter how hard we try.And to wrap it up, I'm sharing a hot take that might get me canceled: if you can't lip sync, maybe TikTok lip-sync videos aren't for you.
They say Elvis was the King of Rock and Roll, so Gurdip and Justin are joined by John Heath (EAP Society, Atomic Wax) to put forth their picks for the most underrated rockers that Elvis Presley ever recorded: from overlooked singles to forgotten album cuts, 50s to the 70s, in the studio and live, there may just be one in here that you've underrated, too! Although Gurdip has to bow out after this meaty and outrageously fun episode, as a very special Thanksgiving/holiday kickoff treat, a slightly shorter Episode 386 featuring "I'll Hold You In My Heart," "Hide Thou Me" and "Shy Me Thy Ways, O Lord" as Songs of the Week will be dropping into your podcast feed ASAP. If you enjoy TCBCast, please consider supporting us with a donation at Patreon.com/TCBCast.

Coyle Girelli, who, after finding success in previous bands Your Vegas and The Chevin, and co-writing for the likes of BTS and Westlife, has now stepped out as a solo artist with a classic songwriting sound. He chats about his new album, Out Of This Town, a long-awaited collection of songs co-written with Elvis Presley collaborator Mac Davies, featuring duets with KT Tunstall and Cassandra Lewis.
Send us a textThis is the story of Bruce Springsteen—“The Boss”—a kid from a working-class town who turned everyday American lives into epic songs, who built a career on sweat, loyalty, doubt, faith, and three-hour marathons onstage that left entire arenas wrung out and grinning.Let's walk through where he came from, what shaped him, how he broke through, who he's influenced—and why, decades in, Bruce Springsteen still matters.Picture central New Jersey in the 1950s and 60s. Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen is born September 23, 1949, in Long Branch, and grows up in nearby Freehold Borough in a blue-collar Catholic family. His father, Doug, bounces between jobs—factory work, bus driving, prison guard. His mother, Adele, is the steady one, working as a legal secretary and keeping the family afloat. The house is tight, money is tight, tempers are tight.Young Bruce doesn't thrive in school. He's restless, alienated; teachers remember him as the loner with the faraway look who really cared about one thing: the guitar. Then comes that moment. Like so many of his generation, he sees Elvis Presley on television—this wild, electric presence shaking up the polite living rooms of America. Soon after, he discovers the twin pillars who will haunt his work: Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan. Guthrie teaches him that songs can stand with the powerless. Dylan shows him that lyrics can be literature without losing their bite.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.
In this week's episode, Sid Evans, Editor-in-Chief of Southern Living Magazine, chats with Donna Jean Godchaux-Mackay, a singer who's lent her voice to some of the most well known music of the last 60 years. She got her start as a session singer when just a teenager in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and her voice helped songs from Percy Sledge and Elvis Presley become #1 hits. Eventually, she headed to California and made the transition from the studio to live performance after befriending Jerry Garcia and joining the Grateful Dead. She's also got a love of both Southern and Californian cuisines and, of course, her grandmother's delicious biscuits.

The last time the All Blacks lost to Wales there was no Harbour Bridge in Auckland, Elvis Presley hadn't released any music and Queen Elizabeth II was about to make her first visit to New Zealand. The Welsh will need to channel the spirit of 1953 - the year they beat the All Blacks 13-8 - if they want to taste victory once again. But do they have any shot at snapping this seven-decade streak? Sports reporter Jamie Wall spoke to Lisa Owen.
Nate Wilcox and Ed Ward continue their discussion of Ed's History of Rock & Roll 1920-1963 with a look at 1955 and 1956. These are the years when the “American Prometheus” brought forth Elvis Presley, when Chuck Berry culturally appropriated Western Swing for his first hit and Hollywood shocked the masses with the first rock and roll movies. As always we'll touch on the non-musical factors that made all this possible -- changing demographics and new musical formats -- as well as a few outside factors that slowed down, but couldn't stop, this musical revolution.

Nate Wilcox and Ed Ward continue their discussion of Ed's History of Rock & Roll 1920-1963 with a look at the period when Rock and Roll really got started. We'll hear about the woman who discovered Elvis Presley, a pair of Jewish music fans who become legit R&B legends, how a Turkish record mogul wrote Ray Charles' first hit, when country music discovered cheating songs and a whole lot about dirty, dirty, naughty rhythm and blues records. But it's not all fun and games.

In this episode of Prisoners of Rock and Roll, we're going all the way back to the beginning of rock and roll – and our back catalogue – by taking another look at Sun Records. In January 1950, Sam Phillips and his assistant Mario Keisker opened a small recording studio in a former auto glass repair shop in Memphis, Tennessee and the rest is rock and roll history. Sun Records brought us the first rock and roll song Rocket 88 by Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats. They also introduced the world to Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and more. We're going to talk about the history of Sun Records and Sam Phillips, the roster of amazing artists that recorded there, and the impact it had on music forever. Let's roll.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Saturday morning, 15th November 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Gospel of John 6:15:”Therefore when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He departed again to the mountain by Himself alone.” The most humble person who has ever lived! He said if you want to be the best or the greatest, you must become the least. They wanted to make Him king. He knew it was not His time. He withdrew to the mountains by Himself. Oh folks, we need to be more like Jesus. There are too many of us clamouring to become famous and popular. I looked up John Lennon. He was the leader of probably the most famous rock and roll band in the world at the time, The Beatles. He made a statement and he did apologise afterwards. He said that they were more popular than Jesus, but at the age of 40, he was gunned down and he died.Elvis Presley - I've been to Graceland in Memphis Tennessee, I went with my good friend Tommy. We went to that beautiful house to go and have a look. It was one of the saddest places I've ever been. They said he was such a generous man. Elvis Presley was regarded as the most popular man in the world. They called him “The King of Rock and Roll,” but he could never sleep. He used to play the piano into the early hours of the morning and he would sing hymns they said. His kitchen was open 24 hours a day. He was thronged with friends, well I don't know if they were friends or hangers-on, so much so that his wife and his little daughter eventually left him, and then at the age of 42 years old, in the newspapers, the headlines, “The king is dead.”I want to say to you today, don't seek after the popularity of men, of society, of this world, rather seek after the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, a Friend who sticks closer than a brother, Jesus Christ. Rather be like Him, and you will live a long time and you will live a peaceful life because when you follow Jesus, He gives you life eternal! Jesus bless you and have a wonderful and quiet day,Goodbye.
TrulySignificant.com presents Christopher Wyze. Chris is debuting two new Christmas songs. He is coming back to our studio for a second time on the heals of winning the 2025 Blues Blast Music Awards. Enjoy our conversation on what's important in life. We riff about Dr. Viktor Frankl, Sigmund Freud, and Bill Halamandaris. Christopher Wyze & the Tellers has won the 2025 Blues Blast Music Award for Best New Artist Debut Album for their thirteen-track release, Stuck in the Mud. The album, which landed on multiple blues charts around the world, received critical acclaim for its raw storytelling and powerful, fresh take on contemporary blues.Presented by Blues Blast Magazine, the Blues Blast Music Awards recognize excellence across the spectrum of blues styles and artists. A panel of blues industry professionals select nominees. Fan voting from around the world determines the winners. Joining Wyze & the Tellers in this year's winner's circle include Tab Benoit, Derek Trucks, Charlie Musselwhite, Shemekia Copeland, Bobby Rush, and Keb' Mo,' among others.“We haven't toured. We made a record of our original music — and let the music do the traveling,” shares frontman Christopher Wyze. “People told us we had to be out there gigging for the record to get noticed. We wrote, recorded, released, and built a fanbase around the world without ever hitting the road.”The band of veteran blues musicians was formed specifically to record ‘Stuck in the Mud,' with members all meeting for the first time in the studio. In the time between recording ‘Stuck in the Mud' and their follow-up live album, ‘LIVE in CLARKSDALE,' they played a single live gig — the live album performance – a fact that has made the group's rise all the more improbable.The band recorded ‘Stuck in the Mud' in two of America's most iconic musical locations: Clarksdale, Mississippi and Muscle Shoals, Alabama — both deeply rooted in the blues and roots traditions that inspire Wyze's sound. It burst onto the scene in late summer of 2024 and quickly gained traction worldwide, with listeners streaming in 90 countries. A string of radio and streaming charting successes propelled the album, along with nine of its singles. The album landed #1 hits with “Back to Clarksdale” (RMR) and the title track, “Stuck in the Mud” (iTunes Blues Charts: Germany, Mexico). It climbed onto multiple Blues Charts: in U.S., U.K., France, Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and Australia. ‘Stuck in the Mud' ended the year at #38 out of the Top 200 Blues Albums ranked by Roots Music Report (RMR) – one of just 3 albums by debut artists to break into the top 50.“When I first heard Christopher Wyze, I felt something raw, honest, deeply rooted in the blues – and unique,” said Johnny Phillips. “I've seen more than a few acts through the years. He's not trying to be anyone else. He's telling his stories — doing it with soul, grit, and a harmonica that cuts straight through. We're proud to have him on the Big Radio Records label. This award is a testament to what happens when you make good music.”Christopher Wyze & the Tellers are currently working on new material and planning select live performances in 2026.Listen to ‘Stuck In The Mud': cwyze.lnk.to/StuckInTheMudAlbumPRFor more information, visit christopherwyzeandthetellers.com.About the Blues Blast Music Awards:Founded in 2008, the Blues Blast Music Awards are presented annually by Blues Blast Magazine, the largest weekly internet blues publication in the world, with over 44,000 subscribers across all 50 U.S. states and more than 90 countries.

Welcome to Why Music Matters, a podcast where we examine the power and influence that music can wield in our lives. I'm your host, Jeff Miers. Today, my guest is podcaster and Western New York music historian Greg Hennessey. Through his weekly podcast, In the Flamingo Lounge with Rockabilly Greg, Hennessey shines a necessary light on Buffalo music, celebrating our region's rich musical history, and honoring the best of the current generation of bands and artists living and working in Western New York. Greg served on the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame's Board of Trustees for 11 years, and is currently the Vice President of the Sportsmens Americana Music Foundation board. That's where I got to know Greg, in my role as executive director of the SAM Foundation. Greg's passion for Buffalo music has been a great asset to the Foundation's music education and community outreach mission. Spend any time in the Flamingo Lounge with Greg, and the dude's love for rockabilly in general - and the seminal early work of Elvis Presley in particular - becomes immediately apparent. He also counts artists like Buddy Holly, Wanda Jackson and the Stray Cats among his favorites, and we talked about all of them during this episode.

Send us a textIn a recent episode, we spent time with a man who changed popular culture and then became a warning about what fame, isolation, and addiction can do to a single human body—Elvis Presley. Brilliant, iconic, but ultimately tragic.Today… similar voltage. Very different story.This is about a band that came out of the same storm system of sex, drugs, and rock and roll… but somehow did not end as a cautionary tale on a bathroom floor. Instead, they turned danger into discipline, scandal into strategy, and raw rebellion into one of the longest-running creative partnerships in modern music.In this series, we've already met Frank Sinatra, who turned phrasing and breath into a method—and Chuck Berry, who wired the circuitry of rock and roll into the American imagination. Elvis showed us how a single, fragile human can be crushed under the weight of that circuitry.Today's story is different. This is what happens when that same dangerous current is handed to a band that refuses to burn out.The Rolling Stones.This is not just a tale of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. This is the story of staying power.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Send us a textToday we're stepping into complicated territory.Not a personal hero of mine.Not a composer whose scores I pore over, or a bandleader whose arrangements I quote with delight or a singer I enjoy listening to.We've just spent time with artists like Frank Sinatra, who turned phrasing into a method, and Chuck Berry, who wired rock's circuitry with wit and precision. Both, in their own ways, were architects of how modern music sounds.Today's subject is someone you simply cannot walk around if you're tracing how popular music, celebrity, and American culture twisted themselves together in the second half of the twentieth century.Elvis Presley.For some, he's the thrilling young rebel in black and white. For others, he's a cartoon in a white jumpsuit. For many, he's a brand—lunchboxes, impersonators, Halloween costumes—more than a musician.For me, and for this podcast, he's something else: a case study in what happens when a very real, very shy Southern kid with a remarkable voice is plugged directly into a machine that never turns off.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.
1. Inspiration Beyond the BrainThe book challenges the materialist view that creativity is a left-brain, analytical function. Instead, it presents music as a right-brain, paranormal process. Many iconic songs are received through instantaneous “downloads” or vivid dreams. Keith Richards famously dreamt the riff for “(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction,” even recording his snoring afterward. These dream-sourced compositions often arrive fully formed, with clarity unlike typical dream content.2. Musicians as ChannelsMany legendary artists describe themselves as vessels rather than creators. John Lennon said he was “just the channel” for the “music of the spheres.” Michael Jackson believed his best songs were “works of God” that dropped into his lap. Notably, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and Jimi Hendrix couldn't read or write music—suggesting that genius may bypass formal training and arise from external sources.3. A Historical PatternThis phenomenon isn't limited to rock and pop. Classical composers also reported receiving music from beyond. Mozart described his compositions as arriving “almost complete” in dreams. Brahms spoke of entering a trance-like state where ideas flowed “directly from God.” Such accounts suggest a long-standing tradition of non-local inspiration.4. UFOs and MusiciansThe book documents a striking number of UFO encounters among musicians. If cataloged, the list would include hundreds of high-profile names. John Lennon had a daylight sighting in 1974; Mick Jagger saw a UFO over the crowd at the 1969 Altamont concert. 5. Alien OriginsSome musicians believe they are extraterrestrial in origin. John Denver referenced the constellation Lyra as his home. Elvis Presley claimed he came from Orion, saying, “I am not of this world.” Lee Scratch Perry declared, “I am an alien from outer space… from Krypton.” Kurt Cobain expressed a lifelong feeling of being “homesick,” imagining himself as an alien baby found in a spaceship.6. Messages of Oneness and LoveThe themes expressed in music often mirror those reported by UFO experiencers. The central message is Oneness—the idea that all existence is interconnected. Lennon's lyric “I am he as you are he as you are me…” reflects this unity. His slogan “Love is the Answer. What was the Question?” and the anthem “All You Need is Love” serve as spiritual propaganda for this shift from fear to love.7. Environmental and Nuclear WarningsA recurring theme is planetary survival. Musicians often channel messages warning of ecological collapse and nuclear danger. Neil Young's “After the Gold Rush” describes “silver spaceships” rescuing the chosen ones.8. Targeting YouthMusicians are seen as strategic messengers to reach younger generations—the “ultimate swing voters.” Youth are more open to ideas that transcend traditional structures like religion and politics. Carlos Santana reported that the entity Metatron told him he'd be tuned into a “radio airwave frequency” to deliver a “new menu” of existence, helping students realize they are “multi-dimensional spirits.”9. Dreams and Altered StatesSongs often arrive during altered states—dreams, meditation, or automatic writing. Sting received “Every Breath You Take” in 15 minutes through automatic writing. Billy Joel dreamt many of his songs fully formed. Music heard during near-death experiences is described as “floating,” ethereal, and profoundly beautiful—often called the “music of the spheres.”10. Music and Quantum ConsciousnessThe book concludes by challenging the materialist worldview. It suggests that the universe operates through a quantum reality where consciousness is primary. Musicians report accessing a non-local field of awareness, consistent with quantum experiments showing that consciousness precedes matter. In this view, the brain doesn't create consciousness—consciousness creates the brain. Music becomes a delivery system for awakening, love, and planetary stewardship.
