Vice President Kamala Harris could be inheriting some of the opposition President Joe Biden faced on the campaign trail, now that Biden has dropped out of the 2024 presidential race. One source of opposition came from the “Abandon Biden” movement, angry over the administration's stance on Israel's war in Gaza. Also, the Detroit City Planning Commission approved the $65 million expansion of the Motown Museum last week. Do you have a community story we should tell?

We need to commemorate heroic acts of invention and creativity that have improved our lives vastly over those of our ancestors. I see that Microsoft has a little museum at its campus in Redmond, WA, and there are various rock and roll museums. I've googled around for a museum celebrating the first successful open-heart surgical operation, which took place at the University of Minnesota in 1952, a great technological feat that has extended the lives of millions, including me, and I don't find it.Is there a Google museum somewhere? There's a Motown Museum in Detroit but it sounds like more of a gift shop than museum. Muddy Waters's old house in Chicago is now a museum, which is good, but more needs to be done. You set aside 6,000 acres in Pennsylvania to preserve the high-water mark of the wretched Confederacy — why not take that land and create a park devoted to the music of Black people who made the world dance and gave it soul? Nobody knows you when you're down and out. Everybody needs someone to love. So rock me, mama, rock me. And I'll fly away, O glory. This is a public episode.

Here's my two-part conversation with Robert from Metallica. This is condensed into one part for your listening pleasure! Part one..... We talked about the latest album, 72 Seasons. He said it was great to get back into a room and play with the guys after the pandemic. "You forget about those things and take them for granted, it was pretty special." He also spoke about his time in Detroit this week. "It's a great city with a lot of history, a lot of history of music." While he was walking around the city a couple of days ago, he walked by the Fox Theater. He talked about playing at that venue with Ozzy and his band Infectious Grooves.  I was lucky enough to visit the Motown Museum earlier in the day with Charlie Benante from Pantera/Anthrax, and he told me a story of someone throwing a bottle on stage at the band at a show in Europe. Robert was hit in the head as he waiting behind an amp. He recalled the story about what happened, and how it bonded his friendship with Anthrax to this day.  Part two included this... We started off the conversation this time talking about the impact that Motown had on him. "That was 100% in my wheelhouse." He told me about growing up listening to that music, and then being turned onto rock and metal. "There isn't a bass player in rock, in metal, and sort of in modern music, that's serious about their instrument that doesn't respect those bass lines coming out of Detroit". That led us to more bass talk and guys who inspired him. Robert talked about Detroit's "swagger" and all the history and music from here. "There's a soulfulness to it." He also talked about his love for Houdini and everything he did in the Motor City. I had to ask him about the upcoming project he has coming out with the legendary RUSH bass player, Geddy Lee. He spoke to really getting a chance to hang with Geddy. "He wanted to know what it's like in the world of Robert Trujillo". Robert was fired up about the whole experience "It was really, really cool." He told a story about Geddy watching his son play at a local bar. He said people were blown away that the Canadian legend was there. I asked him about re-recording the Ozzy Osbourne album Diary of a Madman. "That's an interesting story," he said, and he was off and running about that project. He said he's always there for Ozzy and Sharon, commenting "Ozzy is my hero". 2003 was a monumental year for Robert. He called it the year that changed his life. "So many things happened." He spoke about joining the band and the work ethic that playing in Metallica brings. "That's the thing about this band, it's always 100%". He said when he joined the band, it was about fitting in and not bothering the other guys, but just trying to learn as he went. Enjoy!

Rainy Hamilton Jr., is captivated by trains — so much so that he has transformed the basement of his English Tudor home in Detroit's University District to make room for a massive model train setup.Trains are colorful, he says. They move people and goods. And they are always going somewhere."I'm tempted to actually write a song or a poem in terms of what is the attraction to model railroading," he said. "People that know me have come to listen to the sound of the train whistle..."Hamilton's career is definitely on track these days, with his architecture firm Hamilton Anderson Associates having a hand in one of the largest projects in the city, the Hudson's site development, as well as smaller efforts like The Hamilton apartments, his firm's building at Harmonie Park and the Motown Museum expansion, among others.Hamilton was born, raised, and educated in Detroit – and built his business here in the city. He's a graduate of Cass Tech and The University of Detroit Mercy. His firm, started in 1992, is one of the largest African-American-owned architectural firms in the U.S. He is committed to sustainable architecture and planning projects — and he's remained committed to building up his hometown and preserving its history.He never wanted to leave the city where he was born."I'm glad I didn't leave," he said, "because adding to that lifelong knowledge of Detroit just added to our ability to craft design solutions for any project that occurs in the city."Listen in to hear Hamilton talk about:1:30 - Updates on his current projects4:25- Trends he has seen in workspace design after the pandemic6:35 - Diversifying the field of architecture10:30 - Keeping local jobs with local firms14:05 - His passion for model railroading and opening his hobby store16:40 - Why he stayed in Detroit and what he sees in his hometown19:50 - His favorite projects21:35 - How he found his dream home23:30 - Succession planning24:30 - His biggest failure in business and how he overcame it25:10 - How he came up with one of the catchiest political slogans in Michigan

“You have a tremendous amount of potential; few realize its extent.” Ethan Davidson  In this episode Denise talks to Ethan Davidson, one of Detroit's finest folk singer songwriters. He's recorded eleven albums and toured North America and Europe, before returning to Detroit in 2005 to help run the William Davidson Foundation, established by his late father, Bill Davidson. Now firmly planted in Detroit's philanthropic community, Ethan's first foray into the family business was a reluctant one, yet it's the decision he's most proud of.  As a teenager and young adult, Ethan intently avoided the family business; his great-grandfather stated a small windshield fabrication company in 1932 that eventually grew to become Guardian Industries, one of the world's largest industrial glass manufacturers. His grandfather and father followed, but Ethan needed to pursue his own interests. He left Detroit to his father's disappointment.  When his father died, Guardian's management approached Ethan, stressing the importance that a Davidson be involved. It was at this point that the artist “checked himself and the door” and placed the value of this now global company, and its over 14,000 employees, above his personal desires. “Someone had to come in and lead,” although he lacked the full confidence to do so, knowing he was out of his wheelhouse.   Learning to put his own wants aside for the good of others, finding common ground and the courage to balance what's good for him, for others and for the business is a lesson he deeply values. And it's a situation we can all relate to. He also draws confidence from the lessons he's learned from his many years as a touring musician, having to meet a tough crowd's expectations.   Ethan is a master storyteller and his music, writing and dedication to helping others reflect his rich life experience and commitment to his family's legacy.  Denise ends by asking every guest, “What's your favorite Detroit moment?” Not surprisingly, Ethan's answer involves one of many a Detroiter's loves—sports.  ***  Ethan Daniel Davidson is an author, musician, and philanthropist of the William Davidson Foundation, a private family foundation that strives to advance the economic, cultural, and civic vitality of Southeast Michigan, the State of Israel, and the Jewish community for future generations.

Paul Riser Jr., the Director of Detroit Urban Solutions for TechTown, joins Seth and Becky to talk about the Motown Musician Accelerator program designed to help launch the careers of Detroit musicians in conjunction with Motown Records, the Motown Museum, Capitol Records, and Gener8tor.

“Weather and sex are huge factors.” That’s the, uh, money quote from a Sports Illustrated piece about the best and worst NFL cities as perceived by free agents. Detroit fares poorly, ranking in the bottom five for NFL cities, dinged for its dysfunctional locker room but also because we’re seen as having boring nightlife. We discuss. A second white Detroit police officer has lost his job in the wake of the release of a Snapchat video mocking a black motorist. The video showed a 23-year-old woman walking after a traffic stop with captions including “What black girl magic looks like” … and “Celebrating Black History Month.” The officers were also heard making disparaging verbal comments in the video. President Trump has released his budget proposal for fiscal 2020, and it once again does not reflect well on the Great Lakes. Trump’s budget would slash $270 million in funding from the $300 million Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, virtually wiping it out. But the proposal doesn’t have much chance of passing. We cover a new report from a transportation research agency that adds heft to calls for drastic measures to fix the damn roads. Specifically, it says Detroit-area drivers pay an extra $824 on average for costs that are attributable to our decrepit roads. Statewide, the average is $646. One of just three known remaining log cabins in Detroit has met the wrecking ball. The cabin measured 16 feet by 20 feet and it is believed it may have pre-dated the Civil War. Detroit’s Motown Museum says it has received a $1.5 million grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to broaden programming as part of its ongoing $50 million expansion campaign. The daughter of a Funk Brother has been picked on “The Voice,” making it two women from our area that are on teams on the hit NBC show. Beth Griffith-Manley picked Kelly Clarkson over John Legend as coach for the season after impressing the judges with her rendition of Aretha Franklin’s “Until you come back to me.” Griffith-Manley is the daughter of Johnny Griffith, who was a keyboardist with the Motown label’s backing band. And, Ridesharing service Lyft has teamed up with Budweiser’s new Non-alcoholic “Prohibition Brew” for a discount code in Metro Detroit this Saturday and Sunday.

"It will be an epicenter for all things that are Motown,” says Motown Museum CEO Robin Terry, who is spearheading the effort to raise $50-million to expand the museum.

Part 2- https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/tantricdex/episodes/2018-09-09T06_06_49-07_00 Aretha Franklin is without question the most accomplished vocalist in popular music – the undisputed Queen of Soul. And although there have been many pretenders to the throne, she still reigns supreme, regularly cited as the greatest female singer of modern times. A titan, with a voice that turned every room into a Cathedral. Her cultural impact is immeasurable. A child prodigy who began singing in her father’s church aged 12 and made her first record at 14. Ms. Franklin was a deeply reserved artist who spoke little about her art and shied away from revealing too much about her personal life. She once described her music as "me, with my hand outstretched, hoping someone will take it". Hers was a a life of heroism, heartbreak and hope and she articulated adversities and injustices that still exist today. A motherless child who grew up in extremely difficult circumstances fighting her way with attitude, pride and the unyielding will of a performer who became a symbol for the civil rights movement. She was also a champion of the women's rights movement giving them one of their early anthems with her rabble-rousing rendition of Otis Redding's ‘Respect’. Her ability to stimulate emotion is a talent few artists have ever been able to emulate. And her piano-playing prowess was unparalleled. Throughout her storied 60 year career she soulfully serenaded us with lush laments about love, loss and lust which will have a long lasting legacy. Born in Memphis and raised in Detroit, a city steeped in musical history and famed for producing icons in the industry. Franklin passed up the opportunity to sign with the legendary Motown label. However, Motown's most famous artists from Diana Ross to Marvin Gaye and Michael Jackson were greatly influenced by her. It’s no coincidence that the Motown Museum laid out a book of condolence when the news of her death broke, playing nothing but her music all weekend. She spent most of her life living in Detroit, with the City celebrating her life by holding a 4 day event in memorial of her passing. A send off fit for a Queen. Her impact as an artist is first and foremost attributable to her style and skill as a singer. Her vivacious voice – a glorious mix of gospel, jazz, blues and soul. There are no words that can properly describe it – the authenticity of it, the agony in it, the strength of it, the magic in it, the depth to it. It is utterly sublime, an ethereal instrument from an extraordinary woman. It’s difficult not to have some degree of physical or emotional response to her brilliant and impassioned voice as it swoops and soars with effortless intensity. The ease with which she skips octaves in ‘You’re All I Need to Get By’, the force of the top notes she delivers in ‘Think’, the sassiness in the liberating cries of ‘Respect’, the velvety tone of her voice in ‘Day Dreaming’ and the playfulness of her inventive phrasing in ‘Jump To It’ have influenced generations of singers. The late singer is also renowned for her ability to so inhabit someone else’s song that it became completely her own. So much so that fellow singers would simply stop singing them. Stevie Wonder is famously quoted as saying “If Aretha took your song, you weren’t getting it back”. But she was much more than an interpreter, she wrote songs too often with her sisters Carolyn and Erma (who had a hit with ‘Piece of My Heart’). Never one to shy away, she was fully invested in the craft of record-making and was fully involved in the production of her music. Working out the rhythm part, the piano arrangement and the vocal lines. She poured her heart and soul into each and every one of her tracks. The fortitude of the blues, the sincerity of soul, the expressiveness of jazz and, above all, the spirituality of gospel are all apparent in her finest work. She is gone, but those songs will endure. Make no mistake, we have lost one of the greatest voices to have ever graced this planet. Aretha has shuffled off this mortal coil, but her legacy, her ability to move people through her music, will remain well intact. Her place in history is secure. There is no one to fill her shoes because quite frankly she is incomparable. The Queen is dead, long live the Queen! Here’s a selection of my favourite cuts, on a down-tempo tip, from across her 6 decades as a recording artist. I’ll post Part II, which features the best examples of her uptempo work, in the coming days. Image by Bill Sienkiewicz *Also I'd like to say a special thanks to Jay Negron (AKA J*ski) who I contacted about his edit of Tom Moulton's mix of 'Since you've been gone' Jay re-edited it and sent it on to Tom who did some more work on it before he passed it on to me.

Rhonda Ross has some very famous parents - the only daughter of legendary singer Diana Ross and Motown founder Berry Gordy Jr. Yet, she’s always walked to her own beat - first making a name for herself as an actress - garnering a Daytime Emmy Nomination for her role on the NBC soap opera Another World, and being named one of the “10 Most Fascinating Television Stars” by People Magazine. But, she eventually found herself naturally returning to music.Rhonda’s style is rooted in jazz, yet also contains elements of funk, soul, even a little rock. She’s just put out a brand new CD called In Case You Didn’t Know, and she’s opening for her mom, Diana, on her current tour. Ross talks about releasing her first studio album, which contains songs written and produced by her. Plus, she discusses an upcoming speaking engagement at the Motown Museum.

Detroit has made headlines in recent years with its bankruptcy and blocks of abandoned homes. But while the city is still a gritty place, it offers a surprisingly rich array of options for tourists. Tops on any visitor’s list should be the Motown Museum, where you can dance to “My Girl” in the studio where it was recorded. Don’t forget coney dogs and a stop at the museum to see the art that was nearly sold to save the city from bankruptcy. Associated Press travel editor Beth Harpaz interviews Jeff Karoub, who covers Detroit for the AP, to get his take on what a visit there might entail.
