Guest host Rich Berra (email) welcomed music journalist Harvey Kubernik for a discussion on various music subjects, including the impact of the Beatles, the resurgence of vinyl, and the popularity of music documentaries. Kubernik reflected on the monumental cultural impact of the Beatles' first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show 61 years ago. He highlighted how the band had already achieved notable success with their number one hit "I Want to Hold Your Hand" but emphasized that the televised performance cemented their influence in America. Kubernik reported on how their arrival coincided with a moment of national recovery after the JFK assassination, bringing a sense of optimism and energy. He noted that the Beatles were reflecting American music back to the U.S., drawing from influences like Motown and rock and roll, which made their sound simultaneously familiar and fresh.Kubernik spoke about the enduring relevance of classic bands like the Beatles and Rolling Stones, who continue to win Grammys even decades later. He attributed their longevity to the timeless quality of their music, the multi-generational sharing of their records, and the emotional connections audiences maintain with their songs. Kubernik contrasted this with the fleeting careers of many contemporary artists, noting that the key to enduring success lies in the strength of the material itself. He emphasized how changing technology has shifted how artists make money, moving from record sales to touring and streaming, while vinyl experiences a nostalgic resurgence among younger listeners.Kubernik reflected on the unique climate of the 1960s, which allowed bands like the Beatles to focus entirely on their music without the distractions of modern branding and social media. He drew a connection between the disciplined work ethic of these bands and their roots in post-World War II experiences. He also touched on the role of reissues and documentaries in preserving the legacy of classic music, noting the increased access to archival footage and the deeper understanding of artists' lives and creative processes.------------------------------------------During the third hour, hypnotist Jeff Bliss delved into the topic of hypnosis. He defined hypnosis as a state of heightened focus and subconscious engagement, using examples like feeling emotions during a sad movie to illustrate how the subconscious mind accepts suggestions and triggers emotions without conscious effort. He described hypnosis not as being put under but as entering a focused state, like when deeply engaged in a book or watching a scene that pulls attention. Bliss emphasized how the subconscious mind influences actions and emotions, explaining that fear and emotions act as gateways for subconscious programming. By using exercises like pendulum movements, he illustrated how imagining and focusing can reveal subconscious influences and help redirect thoughts or habits.Bliss examined practical applications of subconscious reprogramming, such as breaking negative loops of anxiety or anger by rewiring mental triggers. He shared methods for shifting dominant thoughts to positive outcomes, focusing on what you want instead of what you fear or want to avoid. He emphasizes conscious visualization as a tool to override negative subconscious patterns, whether it's to curb habits, overcome failures, or foster better emotional resilience. Through his book concept of "Yodas, Rhinos, and Heroes," he advocated following the "wise voice" in your mind (Yoda) over the negative, self-sabotaging voice, to promote long-term growth and self-awareness.

Renegade scholar Randall Carlson joined guest host Richard Syrett (Twitter) to discuss the concept of the Great Year, which is rooted in the idea of cyclical time found in many ancient cultures, contrasting with the linear perception of time in modern Judeo-Christian traditions. Carlson presented the notion that the Great Year is approximately 26,000 years long, based on the processional cycle, which modern science corroborates through findings such as ice core analysis. By examining oxygen isotopes in ice cores and marine sediments, researchers can infer past climate conditions, revealing a correlation between ancient and modern data on environmental changes, he explained.Carlson delved into the mechanics of the processional cycle, describing how the Earth's axial motion causes the position of the North Pole to change over time. This motion influences the vernal equinox's position against the backdrop of the stars, leading to shifts in the zodiacal ages. Carlson revealed that these changes occur gradually, with each zodiacal age lasting approximately 2,160 years. This astronomical phenomenon, although imperceptible within a single human lifetime, has profound implications for ancient cosmology and mythology.Carlson cited ancient texts, such as Plato's Timaeus, to illustrate the recurrence of cataclysmic events like floods and fires throughout history. He suggested these events, which could be caused by phenomena like asteroid impacts or volcanic eruptions, contribute to the cyclical nature of civilization's rise and fall. By interpreting myths and traditions from various cultures, Carlson emphasized the importance of integrating ancient cosmological knowledge with modern scientific understanding to grasp the broader context of humanity's place within the cosmos.The Beatles' ImpactIn the first hour, music journalist Harvey Kubernik reflected on the cultural impact of The Beatles and their influence on shaping the music scene of the time. He discussed the significance of Ed Sullivan's platform in introducing new musical acts to the public and acknowledged the collaborative efforts between Sullivan, The Beatles' manager Brian Epstein, and Capitol Records in promoting the band. Kubernik touched on the broader influence of The Beatles on media platforms, the role of Canada in supporting their rise, and the potential impact of historical events like the Kennedy assassination on the band's success. He also mentioned his ongoing projects, including a documentary on Del Shannon and the legendary Gold Star Recording Studios. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/georgenoory/message

Originally published in 1978 as The Beach Boys and the California Myth, this groundbreaking study was both the first full-length book on the band and the first to recognize Brian Wilson as one of the most significant and influential artists of the 20th century. Covering the turbulent family strife and internal conflicts as well as giving proper attention to the remarkable music, the book was an instant classic.An intimate look at Brian's rollercoaster of a life and career, it's told through the eyes of those who were there during Wilson's most legendary productions including Pet Sounds and Good Vibrations.Revised and updated, the book covers the decades since the 1985 edition, including Brian's first acclaimed solo album, his startling return to live performing, the landmark Pet Sounds tour, the "All-Star Tribute to Brian Wilson" (which David Leaf wrote and produced) and the triumphant and miraculous Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE world premiere in London.Filled with surprising revelations, insight and behind-the-scenes detail, this indispensable book written by renowned Brian Wilson expert David Leaf also features forewords by Jimmy Webb, the Bee Gees' Barry Gibb and Melinda Wilson, Brian's wife."David Leaf's matchless The Beach Boys and the California Myth overshadows any book that documents the group's most successful years." - The Guardian'Leaf's book helped turn on a new generation to The Beach Boys and in particular to Brian Wilson's unique musical gifts. Given that so much has happened since the '85 edition there's much to add. Running parralel to The Beach Boys' story is that of Leaf himself, as he journeys from super-fan, to confidant, to collaborator and to ultimately being one of Brian's closest friends. The affection he feels for the subject matter is present on every page. Five stars." - Shindig!"When I championed the first edition of this book in 1978 in Melody Maker, I wrote "The definitive story. Probably the best book ever of any aspect of music history. A one of a kind effort, a new genre of journalism by going behind the scenes without sensationalizing." In our world, the sequel is almost never better than the original. But in the rock biography universe, David Leaf's God Only Knows: The Story of Brian Wilson, the Beach Boys and the California Myth is akin to The Godfather Part II.

In this interview, Del talks about the unique sound keyboard player Max Crook brought to "Runaway". Del had other hits with "Hats Off to Larry", "Little Town Flirt", "Handy Man", "Do You Wanna Dance?" and "Keep Searchin' (We'll Follow the Sun)". Del's 1963 version of the Beatles "From Me To You" was the first Lennon–McCartney composition to make the American charts. C-FUN played both records, with "From Me To You" peaking at #14 that August. Del Shannon died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on February 8, 1990 at his home in California. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999 by Everclear frontman Art Alexakis. Billy Joel and Bonnie Raitt performed "Runaway" at the induction ceremony. Sadly, "Runaway" co-writer Max Crook recently passed about a year ago. Max and Del kept a long-standing friendship over the years and collaborated as co-writers again on a few songs. Check out delshannon.com for details on the making of "Runaway" and a great profile of Max Crook. A comprehensive Del Shannon box set in the works from the UK's Edsel Records will comprise all of Del's output from 1961-1990, including unreleased titles, lost tracks, and demo recordings. Music historian Harvey Kubernik, along with Del Shannon archivist Brian Young, Del's estate manager Dan Bourgoise, and film producers Todd Thompson and Mark Bentley, are working on a Del Shannon documentary for Stars North. Old friend Andrew Loog Oldham will narrate the film. More at starsnorth.com/portfolio-item/del-shannon-the-runaway/

People often disparage Florida for having messed up criminals, but that's only because Alaska is so far away. We're in the age of the internet now and you can't hide up there any more. Back in the 60s, however, you could hide behind alcohol and psychedelics and still become a defining sound of the era. Jim Morrison did it and you can too.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
