Forty years ago, Paul Simon released one of the most unlikely blockbuster albums of the 1980s. Graceland arrived on Aug. 25, 1986, blending Simon's unmistakable songwriting with South African rhythms, zydeco, gospel harmonies and a completely new way of building songs. The result was an album that sounded unlike almost anything else on the radio — and somehow became one of the defining records of the decade. In this episode of Stuck in the '80s, we go track by track through Graceland, from “The Boy in the Bubble” and “Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes” to “You Can Call Me Al” and the title track. We also look at the album's controversial origins during apartheid, the musicians who helped shape its sound, its Grammy-winning success and why it still feels so timeless 40 years later. Plus, we ask the bigger question: Where does Paul Simon rank among the greatest songwriters of our lifetime? And don't forget: Stuck in the '80s is sailing again with The '80s Cruise. Join us at sea with some of the biggest stars of the decade, live music, trivia and plenty of '80s insanity. Use promo code STUCK when booking to receive $250 in onboard cabin credit.

Forty years ago this month, Paul Simon released Graceland, an album that became one of the defining records of his career, and one of the most celebrated and debated albums of its era. The record would go on to sell millions of copies and win the Grammy for Album of the Year. It would also generate enormous controversy over Simon's decision to record in apartheid South Africa during a cultural boycott. Music historian Ashley Kahn tells the whole complicated story in his new book, Days of Miracle and Wonder: Paul Simon and the Trials and Triumphs of Graceland. Here Ashley talks about his career, the making of Graceland, Paul Simon's unusual creative process, and the complicated cultural and political questions that have followed the album for forty years. www.third-story.com https://www.wbgo.org/podcast/art-of-the-story/2026-08-19/ashley-kahn-on-the-miracles-and-wonder-of-paul-simons-graceland https://leosidran.substack.com/  

In the mid-1980s, Paul Simon was looking for a way forward. What he found, beginning with a cassette of South African Township Jive, would become ‘Graceland,' an enormously successful album, a political landmark, and the center of a fierce argument about art, politics, and apartheid. In his new book, ‘Days of Miracle and Wonder: Paul Simon and the Trials and Triumphs of Graceland.'

We open today with Linda Kearns stepping in for Dawn Stensland as Dawn enjoys a well-deserved break with her family. We dive right into historical milestones, reflecting on the 49th anniversary of Elvis Presley's funeral and recounting the public viewing at Graceland, the massive procession through Memphis, and the lasting cultural legacy of the King of Rock 'n' Roll. We also react to listener calls regarding Dr. Anthony Fauci, examining the legal complexities surrounding potential presidential pardons and debating whether pursuing prosecution makes sense as the midterms approach. We bring on independent journalists Frank Scales and Ian McGinnis from Surge Philly to break down what is happening on the ground at political demonstrations across the East Coast. The crew reacts to their firsthand accounts covering radical left-wing protests in Washington, D.C., where activists gathered to demonstrate against the one-year National Guard deployment. We discuss how crime rates and homicides dropped significantly following the deployment, while highlighting how extreme anti-American rhetoric and fringe political movements continue to surface at these demonstrations. We press Frank and Ian on the underlying causes of youth radicalization, exploring how economic pressure, a lack of community, and broken family structures drive young people toward socialist ideologies. To end the conversation on a lighter note, we put our guests through a fifth-grade trivia quiz covering basic American history and science, proving just how important real civic education is today. We wrap up the show looking ahead to the Phillies' playoff chances before handing off the microphone to the Dean of Talk Radio, Dom Giordano.

Forty years ago, Paul Simon released "Graceland," an album that became a massive hit, reshaped his career, introduced millions of listeners to South African music, and sparked a fierce debate over whether he had crossed a political and cultural line to make it. Ashley Kahn was there for part of that story, working on the Graceland tour and later serving as tour manager for Ladysmith Black Mambazo. His new book, "Days of Miracle and Wonder: Paul Simon and the Trials and Triumphs of Graceland," is about the making, controversy, and legacy of one of the most remarkable albums of the last half-century. Ashley Kahn, music historian & professor at NYU's Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, joins Ian Hoch to chat about it.

On today's show, Ian Hoch makes the case that younger Democrats should be bold enough to yank away the levers of power without also pushing stupid ideas that will keep Americans far far away from them Then, Ian has on Jed Lipinski, the host of the "Gone South" Audacy original podcast, to talk about the myths, power, and complicated history that still shape the South today, Ashley Kahn, Music historian & professor at NYU's Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, to look back at the making, controversy, and remarkable legacy of Paul Simon's Graceland.

Ashley Kahn was sitting on a terrace in Italy as we talked about his love letter to Paul Simon and the album Graceland, Days of Miracle and Wonder. I couldn't help getting distracted by the fabulous view (an inner sigh as I sat inside at my desk on a beautiful day) but then I realized that his view — his perspective — was something I could internalize and share. Ashley's deep dive into the history of the hit album Graceland — one of my favorites! — made me rethink music history. Our talk was as interesting to me as the beats of the songs and lingered long after the mic turned off, just like Paul Simon's music. ** Want more? Become a part of my community!

What does it take to step onstage and pay tribute to one of the most recognizable entertainers in history? The guest for this special Elvis Week episode is Allie West, a third-generation Elvis Presley fan from western Kentucky and the creator of Beyond the Jumpsuit, a website devoted to sharing the stories of Elvis tribute artists. West explains how childhood performances, tribute-artist contests and a memorable concert inspired her to look beyond the rhinestones and learn more about the people keeping Elvis' music and legacy alive. West shares what she has discovered through nearly 40 interviews with performers of all ages, including the time, discipline and financial investment required to build a career as an Elvis tribute artist. The conversation explores the importance of authentic costumes and jewelry, the judging process at official contests, the camaraderie among performers and the growing number of young artists who are discovering Elvis decades after his death.

John Meagher, Music Critic and Irish Independent Senior Features Writer, explains why ‘Graceland' was such a groundbreaking album. Simon felt he needed a change of direction in the 1980s so starting experimenting with African rhythms and township music, journeying to South Africa and making ‘Graceland' which went onto sell 40 million copies.

"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 want to start with a red pen. In August of 1977, a volunteer astronomer named Jerry Ehman sat reviewing computer printouts from a radio telescope in Ohio called Big Ear. The telescope had been listening to the sky and printing what it heard as columns of numbers and letters, and most of every page was the quiet hiss of the galaxy. Then Ehman's eye caught a vertical run of six characters, seventy-two seconds of signal at more than thirty times the background of the universe: 6EQUJ5. He circled the sequence in red and wrote one word in the margin. Wow! The signal never repeated. The day after it reached Ohio, Elvis Presley was found unresponsive at Graceland, and the country turned to a different grief. Four days after that, a Titan rocket stood on a Florida launch pad carrying a machine named Voyager, and bolted to its side was a gold-plated phonograph record.

Over the last couple weeks, there has been an enormous amount written—from The New York Times to Le Monde to Haaretz, among other places—about a controversy centered on Nadav Lapid, an Israeli filmmaker living in France. Lapid has made several critically acclaimed films, including Synonyms, Ahed's Knee, and, most recently, Yes, and his work has taken home jury prizes at the Berlinale and Cannes.The recent controversy was focused on the FIDMarseille international film festival. There was a planned retrospective of Palestinian films at the festival this year. Meanwhile, Lapid was invited to head the jury. It was also decided that there would be an event honoring him, and that he would teach a master class. When a dozen filmmakers threatened to pull their films from the festival, Lapid withdrew as head of the jury. When that did not quell the protests, he decided to cancel the event and the master class, as well.The response from many in the film world has largely been to rally around Lapid, with two letters published in Le Monde, one of them garnering over 350 signatures of high-profile figures in the industry. The letters allege that Lapid is being boycotted solely because of his identity. One of them declares, “Nothing justifies the silencing of an artist . . . the cultural boycott is an intellectual dead end that we must collectively overcome.”Meanwhile, Film Workers for Palestine, allied with PACBI, which coordinates the academic and cultural boycott of Israel, published a translation of a statement by Palestine Will Save Cinema, pointing to the fact that Nadav Lapid's latest film, Yes, received support from the Israeli Film Fund, was presented at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival as an Israeli co‑production, and competed for the Ophir Awards (akin to Israel's Academy Awards). “States have always invested in cinema, literature, the arts, and festivals as instruments of influence and legitimacy. Cultural production does not circulate in a political vacuum. It contributes to the representation of nations, the construction of their international image, and the dissemination of their narratives,” they wrote. “This is precisely why cultural boycott exists. Not because artists are responsible for the crimes committed by their governments, nor because certain works should be prohibited, but because cultural institutions, funding systems, and distribution policies play a concrete role in states' strategies of legitimation.” There can be no mistaking the content of Yes, which seeks to depict the depravity of Israeli society during the genocide. But it does open with the icon of Israel's Ministry of Culture, due to the support it took from the Israeli Film Fund, which accounted for 13% of the film's funding.On this episode of On the Nose, Arielle Angel talks to Nadav Lapid about the recent controversy, and the two hash out some of their disagreements about cultural boycott.Thanks to Jesse Brenneman for editing and to Nathan Salsburg for the use of his song “VIII (All That Were Calculated Have Passed).”Media Mentioned and Further Reading“‘Guilty by Virtue of My Identity,'” Nirit Anderman, HaaretzTwo letters in support of Nadav Lapid, published in Le MondeFilm Workers for Palestine translation of Palestine Will Save Cinema statement on FID MarseillleFilm Workers for Palestine Pledge to End Complicity“What the NY Knicks Mania Reveals About Israelis and Collective Blame for Gaza,” Libby Lenkinski, Haaretz“Thank You for Boycotting Me: As an Israeli Filmmaker, Here's Why Global Pressure Amid Gaza Matters,” Avigail Sperber, Haaretz“Paul Simon's Graceland: the acclaim and the outrage,” Robin Denselow, The Guardian“Non,” Catherine Haas, lundimatin“Is the cultural boycott of Israel an effective political tool for the Palestinian cause?” on Radio France“Israeli Grotesque,” Mitchell Abidor, Jewish CurrentsTranscript forthcoming.

When a mysterious company filed a fraudulent foreclosure claim due to an alleged unpaid $3.8 million loan on Graceland, it sparked one of the most audacious real estate schemes in recent history. In this True Crime episode of Mailin' It!, hosts Karla Kirby and Jeff Marino are joined by U.S. Postal Inspector Jan Bodón to uncover how the U.S. Postal Inspection Service foiled the plot to steal Elvis Presley's iconic family home. Inspector Bodón takes listeners behind the scenes of the complex investigation, detailing how a trail of forged documents, digital breadcrumbs, and a burner phone led law enforcement from Tennessee to an overly ambitious fraudster in a small Missouri town. Tune in to this episode to hear the incredible twists that resulted in a nearly five-year federal sentence and gain insights on how to defend your home against deed fraud.

‘Graceland' was an almighty gamble for Paul Simon, a costly, high-risk departure from the music he'd been making and a complex international venture. And a game-changing, worldwide triumph. When Ashley Kahn taught a course about it at New York University, Simon turned up to contribute. His book ‘Days Of Miracle And Wonder' tells the story of what inspired the album, the way it was recorded and the global reaction when it arrived in 1986. We talk to him here about … … the bootleg cassette of township jive that inspired the Graceland project … fraying relations with Art Garfunkel and Carrie Fisher ... his habit of playing unfinished tracks to people – David Byrne, Philip Glass, Neil Diamond – while singing the vocal into their ear … the extraordinary way he apologised for the failure of One Trick Pony … how Bakithi Kumalo's bass solo on You Can Call Me Al is a palindrome – “first half forwards, second half reversed!” … the advice Quincy Jones gave him about South Africa's cultural boycott … the key role of Roy Halee, engineer and long-time creative collaborator ... the Johannesburg sessions that “started with rhythm and worked backwards” … Kind Of Blue, A Love Supreme, other albums that merit a book to themselves … the details you hear in the tracks' last seconds … and the Grammy telecast that cemented the album's US success.

"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."
