El pasado 29 de abril partía de este mundo el músico galés Mike Peters, tras tres décadas de lucha con el cáncer. Cantante de The Alarm y Big Country llegó a la música con la explosión del "punk" en los 70, tras escuchar a los Sex Pistols, pero se hace cristiano tras leer un libro sobre Jesús en un tren. No se identificó nunca como "un artista cristiano, sino como un artista que es cristiano, lo que es muy diferente", decía. Amigo de Bono, hizo giras con U2 y Bob Dylan como The Alarm, el grupo que formó en los años 80, después de su época "punk" como The Toilets y "mod" como de Seventeen, pero con los mismos miembros. Cuando actuaba en festivales cristianos como Greenbelt, lo hacía en solitario, para no incomodar al resto de la banda. Estuvo como Bono, toda su vida casado con la misma mujer, Jules, que padeció de cáncer como él. Al diagnosticarle su linfoma, siguió un tiempo con el grupo, pero inicia luego una carrera en solitario con una leucemia crónica, que le lleva a muchas iniciativas a favor de la lucha contra el cáncer. Su música tiene el aliento épico de las grandes bandas del post-punk, U2 o Big Country, ideal para grandes espacios, pero con unas letras llenas de ánimo y esperanza. Como Bono, mantiene una relación distante con la Iglesia, pero vuelve una y otra vez a la fe con la que enfrenta su enfermedad y sus relaciones con especial humildad y conciencia, tanto del presente como de la eternidad... ¡Extrañaremos sus himnos y entusiasmo! En este programa de "El sueño se ha acabado" escuchamos algunos de ellos con grabaciones de entrevistas sobre su vida y su fe. Las canciones son: "The Stand (1983); "Spiritual" (1994); "Where Were You Hiding?" (1984), "Absolute Reality" (1985); "Sixtiy Eight Guns" (1983); "Strength" (1985); "Walk Forever By My Side" (1985); "Train A Comin" (1994). Oímos fragmentos de la música que le inspiró de The Clash (I Fought The Law) y Big Country (In A Big Country), así como de la actuación con Bob Dylan, cantando juntos, "Knockin´On Heaven´s Door". Las entrevistas son de programas de la BBC, la realización técnica es de Daniel Panduro y los comentarios con las traducciones son de José de Segovia.

A diferencia de algunos evangelistas, Jesús no dijo a sus seguidores que no tendrían problemas. Todo lo contrario. Les advirtió en el capítulo 16 de la Buena Noticia según Juan que tendrían aflicción, serían perseguidos e incluso muertos hasta por personas religiosas, que creerían que hacían así, un servicio a Dios. Hasta finales del siglo pasado muchos pensaban que el principal obstáculo al cristianismo, era el comunismo. El hijo de un pastor bautista llamado Steve Taylor fue uno de esos evangélicos que viajó al Este de Europa en una gira misionera como ayudante al director de los Continental Singers, para los que empezó a escribir canciones, llegando a hacer un gira por Polonia, patrocinada por el sindicato católico Solidaridad. Cuando a principios de los 80 se convierte en el "énfant terrible" de la música cristiana contemporánea con sus críticas al racismo y los "tele-evangelistas", escribe su experiencia del establecimiento de la ley marcial en Polonia en 1981, "Sobre mi cuerpo muerto" (Over My Dead Body 1984). Un año antes, Randy Stonehill hace su popular disco "Equator" con el líder de Daniel Amos, Terry Scott Taylor. En él había también una canción sobre la Iglesia perseguida en "China" (1983). Aunque no había que ir tan lejos para descubrir la realidad que se vivía en Estados Unidos, detrás de "La gran novela americana" (The Great American Novel). Larry Norman la desenmascaró en 1972 con una de sus canciones más críticas a la política norteamericana, que grabó con medios muy modestos y se atrevió a cantar incluso a Jimmy Carter en la Casa Blanca. Las paradojas de aquella Revolución por Jesús hacían que muchos de aquellos primeros discos fueran producidos por un músico de la Jesus People que fue a la cárcel por ayudar a los Caballeros Blancos del Ku Klux Klan, Jonathan David Brown, No debemos olvidar que la persecución de la que habla Jesús es por el Evangelio, no por ninguna otra ideología o delito que uno pueda cometer siendo seguidor de Jesús. "Silencio" no es una historia sobre el silencio de Dios, decía el autor del libro sobre el que se basa la película de Martin Scorsese en 2016. Endô era un escritor católico japonés que hizo esta novela en 1966 sobre "cómo Dios habla en el silencio y el trauma". Trata sobre la brutal persecución de los jesuitas en el Japón de mediados del siglo XVII por una religión que en Occidente ahora se ve como muy tolerante, el budismo. Esta tampoco es una historia sólo para católicos. Endô mismo dice en el apéndice de la segunda edición del libro, que su "fe está más cerca de los cristianos protestantes", ya que para él, es algo personal, entre Dios y él, que sólo explica la Gracia. Escuchamos algunos diálogos del principio de la película (¡nunca desvelamos el final!), que José de Segovia comenta con la banda sonora original de Kathryn & Kim Allen Kluge. Jesús dice a sus amigos en este capítulo 16 del Evangelio según Juan que, aunque Él se va, les deja el Espíritu Santo. Van Morrison conoció la Biblia desde niño en una Asamblea de Hermanos de la calle donde vivía en Belfast. Siempre ha tenido inquietudes espirituales, pero en los años 80 tienen un marcado carácter cristiano. Su disco preferido (Common One 1980) tiene una canción al Espíritu (Spirit). Sobre quien no había ninguna duda de su fe cristiana era el galés Mike Peters, que con The Alarm hizo himnos como "Camina siempre a mi lado" (Walk Forever By My Side 1985), que se canta todavía en muchas iglesias. Tras tres décadas luchando con el cáncer, partió con su Señor el 29 de abril de 2025.

In this episode of Light Beer | Dark Money, Chris and Sean kick things off with a spirited exchange about the newly elected Pope Leo XIV —exploring how his distinctly American sense of faith and leadership presents a defining opportunity for the global Church. Rejecting rigid labels of liberal or conservative, they dive into his unapologetically Catholic priorities and what they could mean for the future of faith, culture, and conscience. Then it's time for a classic “Rant” as the duo breaks down Donald Trump's latest victories, including landmark trade deals and the dismantling of corrupt prescription drug pricing schemes. They spotlight Biden's latest cognitive stumbles, torch Sandy Cortez's delusional rhetoric, and unpack the chaos surrounding the “Storming of the ICE Bastille.” The episode closes with a heartfelt tribute to Mike Peters of The Alarm—celebrating a life of music, message, and enduring courage. Bold, unfiltered, and deeply personal, this episode takes a stand on faith, politics, and rock & roll.

Since 1981, Welsh musician Mike Peters has been the voice of the hit-making British band The Alarm. After the band split up in 1991, Peters wrote and released solo work, before reconstituting The Alarm in 2000, (Wikipedia.) Since being diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia in 2005 (he is also co-founder of the Love Hope Strength Foundation), Mike Peter's career has been largely determined by the cycle of remission and relapse. But to listen to The Alarm's 2023 album Forwards, and you'll hear a man whose songwriting is as anthemic as ever, and, yes, determinedly forward looking. Mike Peters played some of these new songs, as well as one of the band's old hits, on acoustic baritone guitar, in-studio. (From the archives, 2023.)

The unfortunate passing of The Alarm's frontman Mike Peters this week had me nostalgic about the mid-80's and my class at St. Catherine's elementary school in Laguna Beach.

Episode 136 features a live session from Jolie Laide, singer-songwriter Andy Halsey, musician Leslie Jordan, and we chat with touring manager JP Hasson. Plus, show producer Erik Deatherage pays tribute to one of his rock heroes, Mike Peters of The Alarm, who passed away earlier this week.

On this week's show, we pour one out for The Alarm frontman Mike Peters, who left us way too early on 4/29 at the age of 66, after a 3-decade battle with cancer. Debts No Honest Man Can Pay is over 2 rock-solid hours of musical eclectica & other noodle stories. The show started in 2003 at WHFR-FM (Dearborn, MI), moved to WGWG-FM (Boiling Springs, NC) in 2006 & Plaza Midwood Community Radio (Charlotte, NC) in 2012, with a brief pit-stop at WLFM-FM (Appleton, WI) in 2004.

In this episode of Grumpy Old Geeks—Mad Hatter edition—we kick things off with a refresher on Staingate and the joys of delamination (spoiler: it's not a spa treatment). Then we dive into the U.S. government's latest tech innovation: buying up domains that sound like QAnon Mad Libs in support of Trump's meme coin. Meanwhile, DOGE decided to hand the steering wheel of housing regulations to a college kid and an AI. What could possibly go wrong? Not to be outdone, Elon shows up to a Trump meeting wearing two hats—one for each of his unchecked egos—and MoviePass launches a crypto-tied box office fantasy league, because we've clearly learned nothing.In the actual news, 4chan has risen from the dead like a less hygienic Lazarus, but it's still broken (shocker). Worldcoin's eyeball-scanning overlords are now teaming up with Tinder and Visa—romance and capitalism, together at last. Bitcoin mining is officially more pointless than Beanie Babies, and Microsoft says AI now writes 30% of its code—explains a lot, really. Meta somehow manages to forecast $1.4 trillion in AI revenue while also letting its bots get horny with minors. Meanwhile, Pinterest suddenly pretends to care about AI slop (while being the biggest copyright vampire online), and ChatGPT gets less clingy after OpenAI dials back its update that made it sound like your overly supportive aunt. Plus: more AI lies, shady benchmarks, pillow guy legal drama, and a reminder that North Korean remote workers also hate awkward small talk.We cool off with a Media Candy binge: Schmactors Season 2 is here, Andor returns, Conclave confuses us in the best way, and Ryan Coogler is giving X-Files a reboot we probably don't deserve. Jeremy Renner turns down Disney's lowball Hawkeye offer (respect), and musically we vibe with Maria Somerville and Anka Wolbert's latest releases. In Apps & Doodads, Apple and Epic are back in court, Apple Arcade keeps feeding us Mahjong, and Meta's Ray-Bans go full Stasi. Lyft wants your boomer parents off the road, and Google is sunsetting old Nest thermostats like it's Logan's Run for smart homes. Finally, we peek At the Library with Jason Pargin's black box paranoia, Scalzi's lunar love story, and a massive stack of sci-fi, fantasy, and horror.

This is a special episode from our archives with one of my favorite musicians, Mike Peters. Mike recently passed away, and this episode is more than a conversation; it’s a tribute to a beautiful soul. In our chat, we explored the idea of our lives being anthems; how defiance, hope, and inner strength were a soundtrack for his formative years, and later in life. This was an open-hearted talk about what it means to fight not just with force, but with love. We talked about instinct as a spiritual guide, about staying true to yourself when the world tries to pull you off course. Mike’s life and his music were reminders that strength can come from stillness, from surrender, and from the simple act of standing up for light when everything around you feels dark. Key Takeaways: Mike’s experiences with cancer and resilience. The founding and mission of the Love Hope Strength Foundation. The significance of positivity and community support in overcoming adversity. The impact of music as a source of strength and healing. Reflections on the parable of two wolves and nurturing positive traits. Early musical influences and the evolution of Mike's career. The deeper meaning behind the song “Strength” in relation to Mike’s health journey. The inspiration and themes behind the song “Blaze of Glory.” The role of spirituality and self-trust in navigating life’s challenges. The communal aspect of music and its ability to foster connection and unity.

“Forwards” For more than 40 years the Welsh band the Alarm have been one of the most consistent acts on the planet, playing songs with conviction, heart and belief. With almost 20 studio albums under their belts, along with a discography that includes live albums, box sets and EPs, The Alarm are one of those bands where you pretty much want everything they put out. From albums like Declaration to Strength to their brand new one Forwards, The Alarm are a completist's band. Speaking of Forwards, it's a remarkable record—singer/songwriter Mike Peters has never sounded better, his voice alive with muscle and belief. The Welsh band have had a remarkable career that's filled with endless highlights-- they toured with U2 and Bob Dylan, played at Queen's Live at Wembley concert in 1986, been on IRS's the Cutting Edge and American Bandstand, had hit singles all over the world even cracking the Billboard Top 50 here in the States, and wrote a song that became the official Welsh anthem for Euro 2020. This is a band that's all about community, support and they remain as vital as ever. www.thealarm.com www.bombshellradio.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.alexgreenonline.com www.embersarts.com Stereo Embers: IG and BLUESKY: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com
