L'Invitée culture est la romancière sénégalaise Sokhna Ndao. Son quatrième roman Catharsis est paru aux éditions Obangame. À travers le destin d'une couturière de génie, Sokhna Ndao revient sur les violences subies par les femmes dans un pays foncièrement patriarcal. RFI : Vous signez, aux éditions Obangame, un quatrième roman dans lequel vous poursuivez votre exploration des maux et des combats de la société moderne sénégalaise. Catharsis raconte la vie d'une épouse qui va se retrouver confrontée à la violence de sa belle-famille. Les violences faites aux femmes sont une problématique qui vous tient à cœur. Est-ce que vous diriez que votre héroïne, Tabara, est représentative de la condition féminine au Sénégal ? Sokhna Ndao : Elle est représentative de la condition féminine au Sénégal parce que ce roman a été écrit durant la pandémie de Covid-19, et je me suis rendu compte que six ans plus tard, la situation n'avait pas changé. On a de plus en plus des femmes qui sont victimes de violences au quotidien. Violences psychologiques et physiques. Et ça me tenait à cœur de leur donner un espace pour s'exprimer. Les violences faites aux femmes dans les familles, c'est quelque chose de très commun donc, mais dont on parle peu. On en parle de plus en plus. C'est le retentissement qui n'a pas la force que j'aimerais qu'il ait. Mais si vous allez sur les réseaux sociaux, il y a énormément de mots-dièse qui se sont multipliés pour dénoncer le code de la famille, qui n'a pas été révisé. On parle encore de « puissance paternelle » au Sénégal. Votre mari peut vous battre et vous n'avez pas le droit de rentrer chez vous parce que vos parents vous disent que « c'est un déshonneur, que vous devez rester dans votre couple, dans votre mariage ». Et ces femmes enfermées meurent de plus en plus. On s'aperçoit effectivement que votre héroïne, Tabara, est dépossédée de tout par son époux ; de sa liberté d'abord, de sa marge de manœuvre, de son identité même, et de son enfant. Et elle n'a aucun recours... C'est-à-dire que personne ne l'écoute parce qu'elle méconnaît la loi. Ce roman, il a mis du temps à sortir parce que je devais d'abord me renseigner au niveau de la loi, la loi islamique et le code de la famille au Sénégal. En fait, Tabara ne sait absolument pas qu'elle a des droits. Son mari l'enferme dans ce tunnel de doutes, ce qui lui permet de l'exploiter davantage. Et si elle avait été au courant que son mari n'a pas le droit de faire tout cela, elle se serait révoltée plus tôt. Donc dans le texte, je glisse quelques petits indices par-ci par-là pour dire « renseignez-vous ». Parce que vous êtes peut-être dans des situations qui ne sont absolument pas tolérables, ni aux yeux des hommes, ni aux yeux de Dieu. Tabara est quand même une situation particulière parce qu'elle n'a pas une grande famille. Son père a disparu après sa naissance et sa mère est assez défaillante. Cela renforce l'emprise que la belle-famille exerce sur elle. Est-ce qu'une femme ayant une famille normale au Sénégal peut davantage compter sur une forme de protection ? Oui et non, dans le sens où effectivement, si on prend l'exemple de la famille de Tabara, il y a une problématique, un traumatisme d'abandon dès le départ. Sa mère ne la défend pas. Elle est même absolument complice de ses bourreaux. Et ça, c'est une réalité, une mère qui projette sur son enfant ses propres traumatismes. D'ailleurs, elle le dit dans le roman à un moment donné. « Peut-être que si j'avais eu un fils, ton père serait resté avec moi », ce qui est extrêmement violent. Donc, quand Tabara part dans la belle-famille, sa mère se débarrasse d'elle – c'est le deuxième choc d'abandon – et sa belle-mère trouve en Tabara une victime parfaite. Cette femme, issue elle-même d'un milieu polygame qui a traversé énormément de traumatismes grâce à la situation financière de ses enfants, peut imposer une dictature dans cette maisonnée. Et imposer des violences psychologiques envers ces belles-filles qu'elle maltraite aux yeux de tous. Et personne ne dit rien. Personne ne fait rien. Comment vous l'expliquez, cette apathie ? Souvent, quand vous êtes harcelée, quand vous êtes victime d'une perversion narcissique, il y a tout un écosystème qui se fait complice. Puisqu'elle est là, elle est devenue riche, elle impose sa loi et les autres se disent : « Ah, si je prends parti, si je défends, elle va devenir violente envers moi, donc je vais devenir complice pour ne pas aussi subir les foudres de l'harceleur. » Il y a aussi une question que vous abordez, c'est justement la transmission de l'éducation. Vous écrivez à un moment une très jolie phrase : « Mes rêves n'étaient que des inepties implantées depuis l'enfance, formatées pour me faire écraser par le monde ». C'est ce que pense Tabara dans ce roman. L'éducation est très importante, on n'apprend pas aux jeunes filles à résister, on leur apprend à se soumettre... Il y a une asymétrie. En fait, les hommes ont le droit d'être respectés, d'être obéis, de n'être jamais contredits. Et la femme, c'est « l'agneau sacrificiel », en fait. Elle doit avoir des valeurs confucéennes, faire preuve de probité, faire preuve d'humilité. En fait, on n'apprend pas aux hommes à aimer. La femme se retrouve muselée. Et si je reviens sur la mère de Tabara, elle ne l'a jamais défendue. Elle lui demande d'être humble, soumise, patiente. Pour Tabara et pour ces femmes, oui, les hommes ont plus de droits au Sénégal. Et actuellement, les femmes perdent du terrain. En tant que femme, chaque année, je rentre et je vois que la génération de ma mère a eu plus de droits que moi, et d'une certaine manière, cela m'exaspère. Dans Catharsis, vous abordez d'autres problèmes sociaux. Vous déconstruisez un certain nombre de mythes, comme celui de la justice, celui de l'expatriation, puisque Farah, l'époux de Tabara, se retrouve en France dans une situation difficile. À chaque fois, on a le sentiment que le rapport de force sociale dans ce roman est très cruel. Le monde est impitoyable... C'est un monde impitoyable et j'aime beaucoup explorer les dynamiques, les déséquilibres qui « créent des distorsions ». Sinon, ce serait plat, ennuyeux. C'est parce qu'il y a des rapports de force, des problématiques d'argent, de liberté, que forcément, on en vient à certains comportements. Je ne suis pas en train de dire que Farah est victime, mais pour produire un monstre, il me fallait un schéma, un chaînon. On ne naît pas monstre, on le devient. La belle-mère de Tabara, pour moi, c'est ce que la société sénégalaise fabrique de pire comme monstre. Ces monstres du quotidien qui normalisent les violences psychologiques. Je voulais un peu apporter un regard différent par rapport au lecteur. Tabara va quand même connaître un destin incroyable puisqu'elle va réussir finalement à s'émanciper. Comment y parvient-elle ? Sans divulguer pour autant la fin du roman. Le talent. C'est son talent. Dépossédée de tout, elle se dit : « Je vais travailler, je vais devenir indépendante financièrement. » Dès le début du roman, sa mère lui dit : « Tu n'es même pas – excusez-moi le terme – foutue d'être avocate, ou médecin, tu es qu'une saltimbanque, je n'ai pas élevé une saltimbanque. » Et ce sont sa créativité, son imagination, son talent qui vont lui ouvrir les portes. Et au Sénégal, vous avez énormément de femmes couturières, artistes, chanteuses qui s'émancipent grâce à leur talent. C'est une littérature sociale et engagée qui « porte le couteau dans la plaie », pour reprendre les mots d'un journaliste célèbre, mais c'est aussi un roman habité par une écriture très particulière et très belle. Je veux vous citer vous. À un moment, Tabara dit à son amant : « Tôt ou tard, toi aussi tu vas graver tes initiales dans l'une de mes cicatrices. » Le style est quelque chose que vous avez beaucoup travaillé ? J'aime beaucoup la poésie. Petite, mes premiers chocs esthétiques ont été poétiques. C'était Baudelaire. Je m'en rappelle encore. Le mort joyeux m'a interloquée. Et les mots ont pour moi un poids pour parler des maux. « Un roi cruel m'a rendu cynique », dit encore Tabara. Rassurez-nous ; finalement, elle n'est pas si cynique que ça, votre héroïne ? Son cœur continue de battre, même si pour faire cette catharsis, elle y croit encore. Même si, jusqu'à la fin, elle se pose la question du « est-ce que j'y vais, est-ce que je n'y vais pas ? » Mais pour elle, elle pensait que l'amour arrive trop tard. C'est un roman, mais il y a de la musique dedans. Tous les chapitres commencent par une citation, souvent en anglais, d'un chanteur de pop ou de rock. On a du David Bowie, on a du Coldplay, on a du Phil Collins, on en a plein d'autres comme ça. Pour quelles raisons ? C'est mon père qui m'a fait découvrir les Beatles, donc pour moi, la musique n'a pas de frontières. Je sais que ça peut choquer, mais si je cite Ismaël Lo, il dit s'être inspiré d'Ottis Redding, de Jimi Hendrix. Youssou N'Dour a chanté du Bob Dylan, donc la présence de la musique dans ce livre est un choix personnel. C'est un peu aussi pour rendre hommage à cet héritage culturel que j'ai reçu. C'est comme la bande son du roman en fait. C'est d'ailleurs ce que j'écoutais quand je l'écrivais.

On this very special episode, the legendary Phil Collins joins Sodajerker to mark the 45th anniversary of his solo debut Face Value, which arrives as a deluxe reissue in September. Phil explains how songs like 'In the Air Tonight' grew out of "mucking about" in his home studio, and why intuition counts for more in his writing than formal technique. He also discusses writing with Genesis, working with Brian Eno, Lamont Dozier, and the Earth, Wind & Fire horns, and creating the Oscar-winning 'You'll Be in My Heart' for Disney's Tarzan.

Am 3. Juli 1976 erlebt der 17-jährige Frank Grabowski auf der Loreley ein Konzert, das Musikgeschichte schreiben wird: Genesis spielen vor Tausenden Fans auf der Freilichtbühne und machen den legendären Felsen endgültig zu einem der wichtigsten Open Air-Spielorte Deutschlands. Doch wie begann die Erfolgsgeschichte der Loreley als Rockbühne überhaupt? Die erste Folge führt zurück zu den Anfängen des Amphitheaters, das nur wenige Jahre zuvor eher zufällig als Konzertort wiederentdeckt wurde. Zeitzeugen und Musiker erinnern sich an eine Aufbruchsstimmung, die viele später als das "Woodstock Deutschlands" bezeichnen sollten. Genesis-Gitarrist Steve Hackett und weitere Wegbegleiter erzählen von den ersten großen Konzerten, von improvisierten Strukturen, einer einzigartigen Atmosphäre – und davon, warum das legendäre Genesis-Konzert beinahe in Flammen aufgegangen wäre. _____ (02:33) – Zeitmaschine an!

The name on the kit was foreshadowing nobody knew about until recently — including the Blue Man marketing team.In this episode, we dig into the full journey: from a family tradition built around an uncle with an accordion, to classical percussion study, to pit playing Broadway shows, to landing one of the most unique drumming roles in live entertainment.Here's some of what we covered:* How growing up watching Neil Peart and Phil Collins shaped her musical identity from the start* Why she started on classical piano — and what that gave her as a percussionist* The pivot from Broadway pit playing to the Blue Man Group world tour, and what each world taught her about the other* The wild audition story — filmed at 115 degrees in a back room in Spain with a rented kit, two hours to record and send it back, and over 100 applicants in the original pool* Being flown to New York for the final callback and walking in to find the audition was nothing like what she'd spent two months preparing for* What it means to play a character when the character is essentially just you* Her time subbing on the Book of Mormon national tour — and what it was like watching audience reactions city to city* How a fun COVID project learning Ableton ended up being crucial to landing the Blue Man gig* A Cirque du Soleil invite-only audition in London that came directly from a YouTube video she posted just for fun* Her upcoming solo project (a band called Lemon) and her work as arranger and orchestrator on the new musical Dust Bowl Radio Hour* Why she tells every student: don't wait for the degree to start networkingThe advice she gave at the end of this episode is the kind of thing that takes most people years to figure out. Start the relationships now. Know your role. Understand that every gig — pit, stage, session, tour — is drumming, but the approach is completely different.If this conversation resonated with you, the roadmap for building a career in theater music — the relationships, the mindset, the financial reality — is laid out in my book Broadway Bound and Beyond.Get your copy at broadwayboundbook.comClayton Craddock is the drummer for Cats: The Jellicle Ball on Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we take a closer look at Genesis, the self-titled 1983 album that captured Genesis at a turning point. Phil Collins, Tony Banks, and Mike Rutherford had already proven they could evolve, but this record pushed the band further into a sharper, more modern sound—full of moody production, unforgettable hooks, and emotional weight.From the dark intensity of “Mama” to the pop-rock punch of “That's All,” we revisit the songs, the era, and the creative chemistry that made Genesis one of the band's defining albums of the 1980s.Support the showBrowse the 33/24 Archives: Check out the backroom!Follow us:InstagramFacebookWatch us on YouTube!

This week you start things off digging into the craft that separates good gigs from great ones. You’ll get the playbook for prepping and surviving sub gigs, learn (again!) why a splitter snake earns its place in your rig, and sort through the real options when you need a mic mute switch that actually works. Then you wrestle with a question every working band faces today: are fan-posted videos helping your brand or hurting it? It’s the kind of practical, in-the-trenches breakdown that reminds you to Always Be Performing, whether the camera’s rolling or not. Then guest co-host Jesus Hernandez joins, and you trace his path from a Portastudio kid to the engineer bands trust with their sound, along with the philosophy he’s built along the way: you’re serving people’s ears, and the console is your instrument. You’ll hear why you should ask a band what they want to sound like before you touch a fader, why learning to mix yourself turns your engineer into a producer, and how routing a digital mixer keeps everything simple when the power flickers. He shares the gear that’s earned his trust, hard-won war stories from the road, his time subbing as a bass player in Nashville, and life on tour with a Phil Collins and Genesis tribute. By the end you’ll be listening to your own gigs with sharper ears and a hungrier inner critic. 00:00:00 Gig Gab 539 – Monday, June 22nd, 2026 June 22nd: National Chocolate Éclair Day Guest co-host: Jesus Hernandez 00:01:32 Prepping for and playing Sub Gigs Ultimate-Guitar's Pro Charts…now with lyrics! 00:04:25 The benefits of splitter snake Listener Questions 00:09:55 Mark-What's the best MD Mic Switch?

A lonely Massachusetts crossroads has been claiming the lives of lawmen for over two hundred years—each one stabbed in the back in a spot so open no killer could possibly reach him, while the only sound in the dark is a woman's cold laughter.Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Marshall introduces wealthy executive Robert Bayswell, a man whose endless "business trips" to New York have quietly covered a five-year affair with his mistress, Lolly "Dolores" Harbison. When Bayswell decides to end the relationship and return to his wife Martha, a struggle over a loaded .38 revolver sets a chain of events in motion — one that draws in nightclub photographer Julie Palmer and homicide detective Sergeant DeLuca, both circling a death no one can quite explain.2000 Plus delivers the science-gone-wrong terror of "The Giant Walks," in which the obsessed Dr. Ellsworth, having used a pituitary revitalizer to breed giant rats four feet long, sets his sights on the next logical subject — a human being. His powerfully built test subject Barstow is grown to thirty feet of muscle and bone, while uneasy assistant Weston watches the experiment spiral past anything Ellsworth can hope to control.The Unexpected stars radio's Lurene Tuttle in "Nightmare," the tale of understudy actress Jenny, who answers her door to a hideous, dwarf-like old peddler selling two dolls — one that cries and one that laughs. Against the peddler's strange warning, she chooses the laughing doll, and its contagious, mocking laughter begins to follow her everywhere she goes, into the theater, the subway, and her sleepless nights.Unsolved Mysteries presents a true-style ghost story told by foreign correspondent Jackson, who recalls a visit to a centuries-old medieval castle in Northumberland, England, complete with drawbridge, moat, and turrets — and its resident phantom, the Lady Evelyn, said to warn the family of any impending disaster. Sleeping in the haunted wing, Jackson is roused by a figure who writes a message in letters of fire across the stone wall, a warning tied to the RMS Titanic.Dark Venture stars William Conrad in "Hideout," the confession of small-time gambler Sam, who sits in on one of Phil Collins's famous high-stakes poker games, wins and loses a fortune, and ends the night shooting political big shot Mike Barnes. Fleeing to Chicago and a rooming house run by Dave Jordan, Sam stumbles into a carnival fortune teller, Madame Zara, who reads the cards and tells him he will die within three days at the hands of a man with white hair — just as hired killer Whitey Burke begins closing in.The Weird Circle summons its bellkeeper for the immortal Robert Louis Stevenson tale "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," in which Dr. Henry Jekyll brews a potion meant to separate the good and evil halves of a single man. The draught gives life to the stooped, deformed, and wholly malevolent Edward Hyde, who terrorizes the streets of London while lawyer Mr. Utterson, Dr. Lanyon, and the faithful butler Poole try to understand what their friend has unleashed.The Whistler brings the Signal-sponsored noir "Danger Is a Beautiful Blonde," as bored construction engineer Van Stevens, killing time in a small coast city on a Saturday night, is picked up on the street by a beautiful young blonde in a slick convertible. She drives him to a seaside mansion full of priceless art, and the flirtation turns to ice the moment she asks him to look under her bed — where a dead man lies hidden.Strange Wills stars distinguished Hollywood actor Warren William as attorney John Francis O'Connell in "Madman's Diary," a probate-court reading of the last testament of the late Professor Lucifer Nicolai. The diary records the professor's decade-long obsession: an electromagnetic experiment to separate the human mind from the body and hurl it backward along light waves into the past. His subject, a young orphan named Alice, is sent first to the age of King Arthur and Guinevere, then far deeper — a quarter-million years before Christ.The Witch's Tale, narrated by 122-year-old Nancy, the Witch of Salem, and her wise black cat Satan, tells "The Haunted Crossroads," where state troopers keep dying at a barren Massachusetts intersection — each one stabbed in the back in a spot so open no killer could possibly reach him and flee unseen. After young Trooper Tom Fallon falls beside his uncle Sergeant Pat McGee and friend Gene Hardy, the only clue is a woman's cold laughter in the dark and a curse reaching back to 1721 and a hanged woman named Goody Fairfax.X Minus One, hosted by Isaac Asimov, presents "Hostess," the story of biologist Rose Smollett, who brings home a guest from another world — the Hawkinsite physician Dr. Harg Tolan, a six-limbed being who breathes cyanide from a cylinder at his mouth. Tolan has come to Earth to study the dreaded "inhibition death," the wasting illness that kills his people, and his quiet questions about the missing persons bureau begin to unsettle Rose's policeman husband, Drake.Masters of Mystery offers the island thriller "Four Fatal Jugglers," in which business partners Gordon Penrose and Dave Copeland — tangled together by Gordon's wife Lydia and her demands for a divorce — head off for a weekend of duck hunting on a tiny, isolated island in the middle of a lake. Lydia's protective brother Bob is drawn in too, and with old grudges, suspicions of murder-by-hunting-accident, and a hunting knife in play, the trip becomes a deadly game of who can be trusted.Strange Adventure closes the night with a desert tale of two weather-beaten prospectors, gangling Slim Sandstone and his stocky partner Geordie Gaines, who walk into the bank of George Alden and deposit a canvas sack half-filled with uncut diamonds. Their secret field out on the desert is rich beyond belief, and the greedy banker schemes to maneuver the pair out of their claim — never suspecting what a salted diamond strike can teach a smart financial tycoon.
Legendary bassist Leland Sklar has played on more than 2,000 albums, performed with some of the biggest names in music, and helped create the soundtrack of the last five decades. But behind the credits is a fascinating story of talent, timing, friendship, and an unwavering love of music. In this episode of My Rock Moment, Leland reflects on his remarkable journey…from growing up in Los Angeles, to the moment James Taylor walked into a rehearsal for Leland's band Wolfgang and reportedly told Peter Asher, "I just found the bass player of my dreams." We dive into the magic of the Troubadour era, where Leland found himself surrounded by future legends including Carole King, Russ Kunkel, and Danny Kortchmar, and discuss the uniquely collaborative spirit of Laurel Canyon. Along the way, we talk about the tremendous impact Peter Asher had on his career, the importance of giving session musicians proper credit, and how a chance opportunity turned into decades of performing and recording with James Taylor, Phil Collins, Jackson Browne, and countless others. Leland also recounts surviving two frightening airplane incidents, including a near-disaster en route to a Kent State performance, his deep admiration for Phil Collins, why "In the Air Tonight" remains his favorite song to play live, and the origins of The Immediate Family and the acclaimed documentary that tells the story of the musicians behind some of rock's most iconic recordings. And of course, we couldn't resist talking about his YouTube channel, his viral Everybody Loves Me photo project, and the humor that has endeared him to generations of fans. The conversation is funny, insightful, and filled with incredible stories from one of music's most respected players.

Did Phil Collins contribute more to Paul McCartney's Press To Play than many fans realize?In this highlight from my conversation with author Luca Perasi, we explore the fascinating connections between Phil Collins and McCartney's 1986 album Press To Play. From Phil's officially credited performances to the possibility that his influence may be heard elsewhere on the record, this is one of the most intriguing stories behind one of McCartney's most misunderstood albums.Listen to the full interview with Luca Perasi for a deeper dive into the making of Press To Play, the Hugh Padgham collaboration, and the album's lasting legacy.
Former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted sits down for an in-depth conversation about his battle with throat cancer and his triumphant return to music. He discusses the Chophouse Band tour, including headline shows and dates supporting Blackberry Smoke, culminating in two nights at the historic Ryman Auditorium. Jason opens up about why he plays guitar and sings in The Chophouse Band rather than bass, his painting career, and offers candid reflections on Metallica's legacy including the Black Album and the controversial bass mix on 'And Justice for All.' He also touches on the unrealized Van Halen tribute project and emphasizes the importance of cancer screening and early detection. After that, Phil Collins sits down with Eddie Trunk to talk about his long-overdue induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist. Phil opens up about how the recognition caught him completely off guard, despite selling over 100 million albums both solo and with Genesis. He takes listeners back to the creation of his landmark album Face Value, revealing how personal struggles and an empty house led to some of his most iconic work. Phil shares the fascinating origin story of 'In the Air Tonight,' from its improvised lyrics to that legendary drum break, and discusses how his solo success actually helped Genesis break through in America.

Two months after walking away from the Tombstone feud a free man, Johnny Ringo was found dead against a tree with a Colt in his hand. He had survived the Hoodoo War, jail breaks, and a showdown with Doc Holliday — but no one can agree on what finally killed him.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/JohnnyRingoREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/24j5xybkFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: A gentleman gunslinger who could quote Shakespeare, Johnny Ringo was a mythic gunslinger who died a mysterious death befitting his legend. (The Mysterious Death of Outlaw Johnny Ringo) *** To his family and neighbors, Richard Kuklinski was the all-American man. To the mafia and his victims, he was the "devil himself" known as the Iceman killer. (The Mafia's Most Prolific Hitman) *** Wherever tragedies happen, urban legends settle. And for almost every urban legend, there is a road to take you there… a road often just as terrifying as the urban legend it takes you to.

(A Broad-Shouldered Bully Was Wiener) *** Extraterrestrials come in all shapes and sizes if you believe what you see on television, film, and even online in the fringe conversations of UFO enthusiasts. The most famous of the aliens are usually depicted in the very realistic, humanoid form… the Greys. But what exactly are the Greys? And is it possible they aren't extraterrestrial at all?

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: November, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness travels from a gunfighter's unexplained death under an Arizona oak tree to a mafia hitman's freezer, a tour of the world's most haunted highways, a St. Louis hanging, a British flatulence performer, and the enduring question of what the Grey aliens actually are.It opens with Johnny Ringo, the Shakespeare-quoting outlaw and cousin to the Younger and James brothers, who survived the Hoodoo War of Mason County, Texas, a jailbreak, multiple murder charges, and a near-shootout with Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday on the streets of Tombstone — only to be found dead on July 13, 1882, slumped against a tree with a .45 caliber Colt in his right hand. The coroner called it suicide. Others pointed to the cartridges in his gun, the absence of powder burns, the odd position of his hat, and later confessions attributed to Earp himself, and called it murder. Biographers Jack Burrows and David Johnson weighed the same evidence a century later and sided with suicide, a quiet end for a man newspapers once misspelled into legend as "Ringgold."From there the episode moves to St. Louis in 1877, where Billy Wieners — a hulking bouncer at the Theatre Comique saloon, already out on bond for trying to kill his wife — shot assistant barkeeper A.V. Lawrence dead for insulting that same wife. The Missouri Supreme Court found nothing in the record to soften a verdict of deliberate murder, and after his sister Annie's commutation campaign failed to move Governor Phelps, Wieners hanged in the St. Louis jail yard on February 1, 1878, using his last words to warn other men away from whiskey.Next comes a road trip through the world's haunted highways: Zombie Road in Wildwood, Missouri; India's cursed Ranchi-Jamshedpur NH33, where 245 people died in three years and a woman in a white saree patrols the asphalt; South Africa's N9 with the hitchhiking ghost of Maria Roux; Australia's "Street With No Name" in Annandale; the werewolf sightings on Yorkshire's B1249; Malaysia's Karak Highway, where a creature was seen battering a husband's head against his own car roof; Scotland's A75 Kinmount Straight and its phantom animals; Long Island's Mount Misery and Sweet Hollow roads; the unearthed Hawaiian warrior bones beneath Oahu's H-1; Thailand's temple-haunting murdered wife on Chak Phra Road; and the ghosts scattered along old Route 66.The darkness deepens with Richard Kuklinski, the Gambino-affiliated contract killer known as the Iceman, who froze his victims' bodies in industrial freezers so the time of death could never be fixed. Convicted of six murders, he claimed hundreds, killing with cyanide nasal spray, ice picks, hand grenades, and his bare hands while coaching his children's barbecues and ushering Sunday Mass in suburban New Jersey. An ATF sting through his only friend, Phil Solimene, ended the run in 1986, and Kuklinski spent his remaining years giving prison interviews until his death in 2006 — a week after his wife Barbara declined, one last time, to lift the do-not-resuscitate order she had signed.The mood lifts with Paul Oldfield of Macclesfield, England, the performer called Mr. Methane, who discovered during a teenage yoga session that he could draw air into his colon at will and built a stage career on controlled flatulence — playing Phil Collins parodies, alarming Howard Stern, and logging 86 farts in a single minute for a 2018 Guinness World Records attempt, a talent the record book had refused to touch back in 1990.The episode closes among the Greys, the large-eyed, gray-skinned beings that dominate alien abduction reports from Betty and Barney Hill onward. Ufologists describe two castes — tall telepathic leaders and smaller cloned workers — originating in the Zeta Reticuli binary star system 38 light years away, harvesting human sperm and eggs to repair DNA ruined by generations of cloning. A rival theory holds that the Greys are not extraterrestrials at all but human beings from a distant future: taller, thinner, larger-brained time travelers returning to collect healthy genetic material from before whatever catastrophe awaits us.

To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Gary Seligson: The Grammy-Winning Broadway Drummer Phil Collins Refused to Work WithoutPhil Collins snuck into a performance of Wicked one night without telling Gary Seligson he was coming.The next morning, he walked into Tarzan rehearsal and told the producers he didn't care who else they put in the band. There was one guy he wanted on drums. Not Chuck Burgi — who had literally replaced Phil Collins in Brand X and was calling in every favor he had to get the gig. Gary Seligson. The one he heard play in the theater when nobody knew he was watching.That's the kind of reputation you build over a career that most Broadway musicians would trade anything for.I chatted with Gary on August 24, 2021. The video is on the Broadway Drumming 101 YouTube channel. Now the audio is available everywhere you get your podcasts — Apple Podcasts, Spotify, wherever you listen.Gary is a Grammy Award winner who originated the drum books and recorded the cast albums for Aida, Wicked, Tarzan, A Little Princess, School of Rock, and Soft Power. He held the drum chair on Billy Elliot for over three years. He's on the Motown: The Musical cast recording playing percussion. His Broadway credits span more than two decades — from The Gershwins' Fascinating Rhythm in 1999 through Bob Fosse's Dancin' and Harmony in 2023. In 2025, he headed back out on the road with the Beauty and the Beast revival. He's also subbed on more than 20 Broadway productions, including Chicago, The Lion King, Les Misérables, Miss Saigon, Cats, and Rent.Gary grew up in West Orange, New Jersey, banging on his mother's pots and pans before his father bought him a tiny metal snare drum at age three. He studied with the same teacher from second grade through twelfth grade. He went to the Hartt School of Music in Hartford. He found his way to Gary Chester in New York, who completely rewired how he thought about the instrument, and then told him flat out: never leave town for more than four weeks.Gary took a touring gig anyway.Nine years on the road followed. And the moment he pulled into his mother's driveway after finally deciding to come home, the phone rang. It was Bob Billig calling about Chicago. That's how this business works when you've done the groundwork.We get into his first Broadway subbing experience at The King and I — walking into the pit two hours before curtain, sitting down at a drum set that felt completely foreign, getting thrown out by the stage manager before the show even started, then spending an hour and forty-five minutes walking around Midtown getting more nervous with every step. Trial by fire. He made the cut, and word traveled fast.We talk about what it felt like to play alongside Elton John in an Aida rehearsal room. We talk about Phil Collins tapping a pencil on a desk during Tarzan rehearsals — not even playing, just tapping — and how the groove was so wide the entire room felt it. And we talk about the moment Gary flew himself to San Francisco on JetBlue just to watch Wicked out of town, because he needed to know for himself whether to leave Aida for it.He knew by the first number.Gary is a Pearl Drums, Sabian Cymbals, Pro-Mark Sticks, Grover Percussion, and Remo Heads endorser, and has been featured in Modern Drummer and DRUM magazine multiple times.Press play.

By 1986, the Phil Collins machine was in full gear. After coming off big solo success with the diamond selling No Jacket Required and having played on both sides of the Atlantic for Live Aid, the public (and the record company) couldn't seem to get enough of the Genesis drummer turned lead singer. The band sought to capitalize on that momentum by sharing music writing credits (each of them wrote lyrics solo) and starting from scratch in the studio at The Farm. The result would be their greatest popular success including their first #1 in the US and 5 total Top 5 Billboard hits. But it being the mid-80s, the music wasn't always the only story. They had already had some turns on MTV in the previous 5 years (especially Collins solo work) but videos for their big hits were in regular rotation for over a year, including Land of Confusion which used caricatured masks and puppets from the British show Spitting Image. The unflattering rubber dopplegangers of the band followed the exploits of Ronald Reagan fighting the bad guys as Superman and was nominated for video of the year by MTV (former Genesis frontman Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer won instead). It allowed Genesis the opportunity to sell out arenas and stadiums in the US which anchored over 100 tour dates to support the album. But does this standout from Phil Collins solo material? While Collins penned tracks like Tonight, Tonight, Tonight and In Too Deep did have eerily similar hallmarks of Phil's solo stuff, Mike Rutherford's Throwing It All Away is right out of Phil's playbook. While the Tony Bank's written Domino shows they didn't completely abandon their prog rock roots, Anything She Does is a flacid attempt at 80s pop with a video that inexplicably featured Benny Hill. The musicianship is high quality as always but the technology of the day can sound dated and does anyone want to hear Phil play electric drums? Hugh Padgham had the magic touch in the 80s and with Phil but maybe that contributes to the songs sounding generic in some places. We like the album but do we hold it in as high regard as Selling England By The Pound? We try to figure that out...

Sir Tony Blair has entered Labour's civil war - and his message is brutal: changing the leader means nothing if the party still has no real plan for Britain.In a sweeping essay, the former Prime Minister delivers a scathing critique of Keir Starmer's government and questions whether Labour has coherent answers on growth, tax, welfare, Brexit, net zero and Britain's place in the world. Blair argues the solution is a return to the “radical centre” - but what does that actually mean in 2026?In this episode of The Fourcast, Krishnan Guru-Murthy examines whether Labour's crisis is really about leadership at all. Would replacing Starmer with Wes Streeting or Andy Burnham solve anything? Should Labour move closer to Donald Trump or back towards Europe? And if the party forces a leadership contest now, does it risk opening the door to Nigel Farage and Reform UK?Joining Krishnan are former Tony Blair speechwriter Phil Collins and Labour MP Zubir Ahmed, a supporter of Wes Streeting who resigned from government earlier this month, and Stewart Wood who was an adviser to Gordon Brown when he was Prime Minister and Ed Miliband when he was Labour leader.

Mayhem continues out in the wastelands of Australia (that we can't believe Tessa can see). Skipping straight through to the third installment of a series brings a buff Phil Collins, Tina Turner worship, levels of shit smells, cul-de-sac farts, surprise Down's Syndrome, the large waxed leathermen we want and need, unexplained light sources, NOT Iron Man, a cow-car (the second stupidest vehicle) and a baby that goes down the HOOOOOOOOOOLE. Get your pocky-lips fit on and head towards Bartertown - two hosts enter but both of us leave, we don't fight or anything. It's Auntie's choice, Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, up next on Doom Generation!
Host Jesse Jackson welcomes Michael C back to discuss Jake Thistle's American Idol elimination, arguing Jake's strengths are his songwriting, frontman rapport, versatility in changing vocal styles across artists (Petty, Jackson Browne, Bruce, Phil Collins, John Hiatt), and strong character, with hopes for continued success and mention of an April 29 Monmouth University show with Vinny “Mad Dog” Lopez. They shift to Springsteen concerts, set lists, and the tour's anger/war-related themes, including opening with “War,” plus commentary that Bruce has been political since early songs. Michael then defends tribute bands as an affordable way to keep music alive, stressing quality performance, vocal range, and audience engagement, and prefers live performance over studio. Jesse closes with podcast contact info and other projects, including a John Hiatt podcast. 00:00 Podcast Welcome 00:55 Jake Idol Exit 02:22 Why Jake Connects 04:00 Influences And Praise 09:35 Jake Live Shows 12:06 Talent Beyond Voice 14:06 Bruce Tour Plans 15:44 Setlist And Politics 17:50 Tribute Bands Value 22:12 What Makes Tribute Great 25:11 Live Beats Studio 26:46 Cover Bands Setlists 28:58 Hooking New Fans 30:30 Tributes Keep Legacy 31:44 Politics And Critics 34:06 Proving Greatness Live 37:08 Respecting Tributes 38:13 Clive Davis Connection 40:54 Goodbyes And Contacts 42:57 Radio Hits Paradox 45:09 Podcast Housekeeping 47:03 Final Sign Off Learn more about your ad choices.

James PaxtonTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know James Paxton. James is an actor, a musician, and an artist. In this episode, we chat about all of those things and more. We discuss his dad, Bill Paxton, and how James got sick with E. coli while attending NYU for journalism. James tells an amazing story about how the Entourage character Vincent Chase got his name and even regales me with the story of making the tile for Phil Collins' house! We touch on his experience on the set of Texas Rising, and then we have a surprise special guest drop in to say hi. After that, it's back to the action where we discuss James' feature film debut 'Boogeyman Pop' and why it still sits on the shelf at Blumhouse. James tells me about the hush hush secret that he had to keep when he was the voice of the son on the HULU hit show 'How I Met Your Father' and why he had to keep it a secret. Of course, we discuss his new film 'Last Train to Fortune' and working alongside Malcolm McDowell. Nest, we dive into James' musical career. He is part of two bands, 'Flamingo Dogs' and 'Soundaze', plus he lets me play a song from his solo project 'Love, Pax'. You're gonna dig it!
The first of May's TWO full moons brings with it “Won't Stand Down,” Peter Gabriel's fifth track from his forthcoming oi album. Plus, the Tabletoppers congratulate Phil Collins on his upcoming induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, preview Anthony Phillips' piano album Gemini, and touch on the world of Thotch.
It's easy and honestly fun to complain about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Every year, they announce a class of inductees and music fans rise up in anger asking “how is so and so not in yet” or “how did this person get in before that person.” Or, my favorite, “what? That person isn't even rock and roll.” We all do it. Hell, we've done entire episodes on how the Rock Hall screwed up. But the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has announced the inductees for the class of 2026 and they pretty much got it right this year. Phil Collins finally getting kudos for his solo career, Billy Idol with that punk-pop sneer, Iron Maiden crashing the metal gates, Joy Division/New Order, Oasis bringing the Britpop attitude, the smooth sounds of Sade, R&B king Luther Vandross, and Wu-Tang Clan changing the game. They rounded it out with Early Influence nods, Musical Excellence awards, and even Ed Sullivan for bringing rock into living rooms. Look, it's not the purest guitar-rock kickass class ever inducted, but it actually reflects how music evolved and shaped culture.
