What the Riff?!?
1973 - June: Dr. John “In the Right Place”

What the Riff?!?

Malcolm John Rebennack, Jr.,better known by his stage name, Dr. John, was a singer-songwriter who blended funk, R&B and New Orleans blues into a distinctive sound.   Dr. John was well known for his stage shows which were inspired by an eclectic mix of medicine shows, voodoo ceremonies, and Mardi Gras costumes.  Dr. John got his start as a session musician in the 1950s, and continued doing session work throughout his career playing keyboards for Aretha Franklin, the Rolling Stones, and Van Morrison as a member of "The Wrecking Crew."  He recorded thirty studio albums and nine live albums before his death in 2019, including the one we profile today.In the Right Place is Dr. John's sixth album and his best selling one, peaking at number 24 on the Billboard 200 chart.  He is backed up on this album by The Meters, a New Orleans funk band that formed in 1965.  The Meters were the house band for Alan Toussaint, who produced, arranged, and played on a number of tracks on the album.Mac Rebennack's father ran an appliance shop in the East End of New Orleans where, in addition to fixing radios and televisions, he sold records to people from a wide variety of races and cultures.  Rebennack was expelled from his Catholic high school when the priests told him he had to either stop playing in the clubs or leave.  The stage name Dr. John was taken from a 19th-century Louisiana voodoo priest.  In turn, Dr. John would inspire two other characters - Johnny Fever (from "WKRP in Cincinnati") and Dr. Teeth (from "The Muppet Show").The future Dr. John started playing guitar and switched to piano after nearly losing a finger during an on-tour gunfight.It's time for some New Orleans funk as Wayne brings us this album for the podcast.  Friend of the show Sean Mooney joins us for this one. Traveling MoodYou can expect any rock group to eventually put out a song about losing a woman, but it takes Dr. John to make this tragedy whimsical and fun.  "Said that she'd never leave me, now she's gone away to grieve me.  I was fast asleep, when she begun her midnight creep."QualifiedThis is a social hierarchy song about a guy telling people who think they are better than others that they are not.  "Your social life ain't no better than my hot dog stand.  Your edu-ma-cation ain't no hipper than what you understand."Right Place, Wrong TimeThis is the funky hit that peaked at number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100.  It was also Dr. John's only top 40 hit, making him technically a one-hit wonder.   "I took the right road but I must have took a wrong turn."  "I took a right move, but I made it at the wrong time." Cold, Cold, ColdIn this song, the man wishes a woman he loves was not also running around with the other guys.  There's a pit of a Rolling Stones sound about this one, and maybe a little bit of Randy Newman humor. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Live and Let Die by Wings (from the motion picture “Live and Let Die”)This song was the theme which first introduced Roger Moore as James Bond.  It also reunited Paul McCartney with former Beatles producer George Martin. STAFF PICKS:Drift Away by Dobie GrayRob drifts into the staff picks with this song originally written by Mentor Williams in 1970, and first performed by swamp rock singer John Henry Kurtz.  Soul singer Dobie Gray would produce the rendition we would know best.  Gray would land at number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, making this song his biggest hit.  The lyrical tribute to the power of music would make it a frequent cover by lots of artists.Daniel by Elton JohnLynch features a song with a story.  Daniel is an American soldier injured in Vietnam who, though accepted by his family, receives criticism from the public due to the polarizing nature of that war.  Disillusioned by the response, Daniel decides to go away to Spain.  Almost all of this storyline was contained in the last verse of the song, which was cut before it was produced.China Grove by the Doobie Brothers Friend of the show Sean brings us a song which introduces itself with a great guitar riff and keyboards.  It is sung and written by Tom Johnson for the Doobie Brothers third studio album, "The Captain and Me."  It went to number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100.  While Johnson was writing about a fictional town, there are several towns called China Grove in America.The Free Electric Band by Albert HammondWayne closes out the staff picks with a prog rock hit.  Songwriter Hammond has written a number of hits over the years, though this particular one only went to number 48.  The lyrics are about a privileged child who decides to move to California to play music despite his parents higher expectations for him.   COMEDY TRACK:Back When My Hair Was Short by Gunhill RoadThis lone hit by Gunhill Road went to number 40, and was produced by Kenny Rogers.

They were celebrating Mardi Gras and the street, close to the University of Arkansas campus, was bustling. So, when Travis simply disappeared on his way to wait at a friend's car, it's hard to fathom how noone saw anything. Was there an accident? Was there a targeted attack on Travis because of the witness testimony he was set to make in the coming months? Sadly, the Roberson family is still asking themselves those same questions.

Mobile is simultaneously a typical and unique city in the postwar United States. It was a quintessential boomtown during World War II. That prosperity was followed by a period of rapid urban decline and subsequent attempts at revitalizing (or gentrifying) its downtown area. As in many other US cities, urban renewal, integration, and other socioeconomic developments led to white flight, marginalized the African American population, and set the stage for the development of LGBTQ+ community building and subculture. Yet these usually segregated segments of society in Mobile converged once a year to create a common identity, that of a Carnival City. Carnival in Alabama: Marked Bodies and Invented Traditions in Mobile (UP of Mississippi, 2023) looks not only at the people who participated in Mardi Gras organizations divided by race, gender, and/or sexual orientation, but also investigates the experience of “marked bodies” outside of these organizations, or people involved in Carnival through their labor or as audiences (or publics) of the spectacle. It also expands the definition of Mobile's Carnival “tradition” beyond the official pageantry by including street maskers and laborers and neighborhood cookouts. Using archival sources and oral history interviews to investigate and analyze the roles assigned, inaccessible to, or claimed and appropriated by straight-identified African American men and women and people who defied gender and sexuality normativity in the festivities (regardless of their racial identity), this book illuminates power dynamics through culture and ritual. By looking at Carnival as an “invented tradition” and as a semiotic system associated with discourses of power, it joins a transnational conversation about the phenomenon.

Gun violence is the leading cause of death for children in Louisiana and nationwide. According to the Orleans Parish School District, more than 60 children have been shot this year and 19 have died. Even as violent crime in general is dropping, the percentage of gun deaths of children under the age of 18 has increased nationally. In response, New Orleans public schools are taking a more active role in preventing and responding to violence by focusing on student mental health, conflict mediation and gun safety. Olin Parker, president of the Orleans Parish School Board, joins us to discuss the ways the district aims to help students and their families. Most Louisianans are all too familiar with the high utility bills that arrive in the hot summer months, as we try to cool down our homes. But these high costs can be the result of an inefficient and "unresilient" energy grid. Still, there are lots of ways consumers can keep their energy bills down – from installing solar panels to running the dishwasher at night instead of during the day. To learn more about “grid resiliency” and ways that individuals, businesses and even Mardi Gras krewes are committing to energy efficiency, we talk with Logan Burke, executive director of the Alliance for Affordable Energy.  But first, it's Thursday, which means it's time to catch up on this week in politics with The Times-Picayune | The Advocate's editorial director and columnist, Stephanie Grace. We  preview tonight's 7 p.m. gubernatorial debate, and hear why presumed frontrunner Jeff Landry is sitting it out.  Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Bob Pavlovich.

One week and thirty three years ago today, the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law. On today's show, we bring you three stories about Louisianans making their communities more accessible. First, we look back on Carnival season. With loud noises, tightly-packed crowds, and objects flying left and right – a Mardi Gras parade might not seem like the friendliest space for people with disabilities. Thankfully, there are some krewes that are specifically focused on inclusivity, diversity and accessibility. And perhaps no Krewe is better known for this than the Krewe of King Arthur. Back in February, we were joined by three King Arthur Krewe members, Dr. Rose Angelocci, Mary LeBlanc, and Loretta Brehm. Today we look back at that conversation. Towards the beginning of summer, Fontainebleau State Park became the first park in the state to offer an all-terrain wheelchair, allowing patrons with limited mobility the opportunity to explore hiking trails and the beach like never before.  Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser is spearheading the effort to make all Louisiana state parks more accessible. In June, he joined WRKF's Karen Henderson for more, along with Jonah Clement, whose 17-year-old nephew Elijah Clement was the first person to use the all-terrain wheelchair at Fontainebleau State Park. Today, we look back on that conversation. In 2021, Louisiana native Hagan Landry won the silver medal in shot put at the Tokyo Olympics. And after the ceremony, he thought of Stephanie Lamparez, a physical therapist turned para-athlete coach in New Iberia who took hundreds of athletes with disabilities under her wing for more than thirty years.  Last year, we highlighted Lamparez and the monumental impact she's had on Louisiana's para-athletic community. Today, we give that story a second listen.  Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Alana Schreiber. Our digital editor is Katelyn Umholtz and our engineers are Garrett Pittman and Aubry Procell. You can listen to Louisiana Considered Monday through Friday at 12:00 and 7:30 pm.

Five are chosen by the Veiled Prophet to be the Special Maids of Honor of the "Veiled Prophet's Court of Honor", and one is crowned the "Queen of Love and Beauty". [2]Fashion sketch by artist-reporter Marguerite Martyn of women attending the St. Louis Veiled Prophet Ball, 1911Inspired by Mystic Krewe, the founders aimed to create an annual local celebration similar to Mardi Gras in New Orleans, eventually to include pageantry and costuming as well as a parade with floats. The parade and ball were both originally held in October. The ball was eventually moved to the Friday before Christmas; the parade and fair celebration, once called the VP (Veiled Prophet) Fair and VP Parade, are now called Fair St. Louis and America's Birthday Parade and are held during the week of Independence Day.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/1198501/advertisement

Happy Pride Month! For this episode, we have the wonderful Vivienne Lovecraft from Germany who is a non-binary, Filipino Drag Queen and is an activist for the LGBTIQ community. This is Part TWO of a two-part piece. Trigger Warning: Transphobia, Homophobia, Suicide  The conversation continues around LGBTQIA+ rights in Berlin. Vivienne shares the current laws in place that exclude Trans employees and parents and the lack of anti-discrimination policies especially for those without a “German Pass” such as refugees and immigrants.  The topic brings up the Reality TV show “Drag Me To the USA” that Vivienne starred in and their experience of traveling to America.  With inspiration from the Drag Queen films “The Adventures of Priscilla” & “To Wong Foo”, the TV show had Drag Queens visit various unique places from big cities to small towns in the US that were celebrating Mardi Gras and being Queer. Vivienne shares how magical the experience was and the cut-out behind the scene stories, the concerns they have for the “Don't Say Gay Bill” and other laws that are being put in place to erase Queer identities in the country. We also learn that in small religious towns that do try to celebrate Queer events, certain “dedicated” hate groups attend to simply disrupt and harass. Vivienne discusses her emotional performance in honor of an Iranian Drag Queen who passed away. The talk brings up Vivienne's ambitions to be a parent, the future of Queer people, relationships with their parents, their chosen family, and so on. Finally, Vivienne shares the pride month color meanings, with a focus on the Orange color that represents healing and leaves us with a message that once we feel healed, is to help others heal as well. And we also join in support of Vivienne's call “Trans Rights for Everyone Now!”~~~Vivienne Lovecraft is a non-binary, Filipino Drag Queen who grew up in the northern part of Germany, close to a small town called Bremen, and worked there in an LGBTIQ-youth group until she moved to Berlin. For a few years, Vivienne is part of different queer and BiPoC activist groups to create safer spaces and host fundraising events for marginalized groups in the LGBTIQ-Community of Berlin. She loves to create shows, hosts and wants to share her passion for the art of drag with as many people as possible.You can follow Vivienne's  work below;https://www.instagram.com/vivienne_lovecraft/  Mentioned in this episode:Drag Me to the USA (2022-)  The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994)  To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything!

“Gay” (May 23, 2002) A smash hit in its native Australia, Kath & Kim focuses on two suburban women joined by their lack of both good taste and any sort of a clue. The second episode is just titled “Gay,” and to discuss it, we were joined by Glenn Charlie Dunks, a real-life Australian homosexual who's spent a great deal of time thinking about art, culture and the differences between Australian and American media. He also taught us several vocabulary lessons, because as we learned, we speak English but not necessarily Australian.   And read the list of episodes we're doing for Backdoor Pilots, our new Patreron series, here. Videos referenced in this episode: This episode's gay panic montage Weddings, the 1994 Australian special that inspired Kath & Kim Fast Forward's parody of Wilson Phillips Fast Forward's straight Mardi Gras sketch The Big Girl's Blouse sketch Gay Olympics Lord of the Rings x Kath & Kim You can now watch Glen's movie, Being Frank, on Freevee via Amazon Prime.

One of the scariest yet most exciting things is letting go of your child as they become an adult and go to college. As a parent, you have done your job getting your child to this point; now, you will drop them off at college, trusting they will be safe and have a blast while getting an excellent education. That is how it is supposed to go, but sadly that isn't always the case. Today we are headed to the southern united states to Mobile, Alabama, which struggles with New Orleans to claim the right to be the one Mardi Gras city. Debate is to which city helps the first mardi gras. It is a cute small, safe town. In Mobile, you will find the University of South Alabama. Now if you are a local or a student, it is simply South. The year is 1979, and 18-year-old Katherine Foster is excited to start college. Katherine has a beaming smile and friendly personality, but she also has the brains since she was the salutatorian of her class. What should be the best time of her life ends before she even really had a chance to get started.Join Jen and Cam on this episode of Our True Crime Podcast entitled "Dear Katherine: The Murder of Katherine Foster."
