Podcasts about redgum

There aren’t many songs that evoke the meaning of ANZAC Day better than ‘I Was Only 19’ by Redgum which was written and sung by John Schumann. John is returning to the music scene with the Vagabond Crew and their latest song is called Fishing Net in the Rain. John Schumann told Luke Bradnam on 4BC Breakfast, "This [Fishing Net In The Rain] came out of the Royal Commission into Veteran Suicide." "I've got a long interest in mental health, which I learned about when I wrote I was only 19 and I put Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, I suppose, back in the national conversation, not deliberately, just quite unconsciously." "So I became a bit interested and I watched the Royal Commission into Veterans Suicide and it's always something that's harrowed me," Mr Schumann said. "We send these people away to do jobs, to wear our uniforms overseas and when they come back, they'll come back with physical injury sometimes." "Often they'll come back with psychological injuries, which aren't visible, but they are injuries, none the same." "We have to tell these stories," John Schumann continued.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sorry for this episode being a little late….I'd meant to get it out earlier, but who knows where the time goes????? If you've not deserted me…..Welcome to episode 177 of Love That Album. Carrying on with the Fairport Convention connection of episode 176, I welcome three wonderful guests to the podcast this time around – all connected to the great Sandy Denny. Firstly, there's a return visit from John Penhallow, the first manager of Fairport. He's done a lot of archival work in relation to Sandy's music over the years, and we discuss that. Then, there's Sandy's daughter, Georgia Rose Lucas and musician / composer Carla Fuchs. The two of them are behind an album released in 2023 called Songbird. Carla composed new music to lyrics written by Sandy in her journals that were never previously recorded. The two of them collaborated to make this project come to existence. Not on the show, but huge thanks as well go to Elizabeth Hurtt, wife of the late Trevor Lucas, who took the time to tell me about the journey of these lyrics in Sandy's journals. There had been a plan many years ago for many artists to utilise her words for new songs….that didn't happen, but we explain what DID in the show's discussion. Huge thanks to Elizabeth for filling me in. My gratitude to all these wonderful folk for taking the time to talk about the Songbird project, the Attic Tracks songs put out on cassette and then CD by John on Raven Records years ago, Redgum, and Sandy's life and music. If you wish to search out a copy of Carla's album, it's available on Bandcamp at: https://talkingelephantrecords.bandcamp.com/album/songbird Download this episode of LTA from your podcast app of choice (not Spotify).

Oh, and here's our index of all episode in one concisepage Running Sheet: South Australian Storytellers 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:00:00 SA Drink Of The Week No SA Drink this week. 00:03:37 Uncle Ken Jones Here on The Adelaide Show, we shine a spotlight on South Australian passion, and my guest has passion in spades. He is Uncle Ken Jones, who I'm sitting with during NAIDOC Week 2024. I met Uncle Ken through his work running the tourism business, Bush Adventures, down on the Limestone Coast, at Port MacDonnell, and I'm hoping we'll capture some of his profound connection to country, some of his wild story, and some of his storytelling and wisdom. Uncle Ken, welcome to the Adelaide Show. Uncle Ken, in a recent story about you published on SouthAustralia.com, you've said, “I'm part of the oldest continuous culture in the world.” How does this profound connection influence your daily life and values? Your parents deliberately hid your Aboriginal roots from you for much of your childhood, and in the story – which I will link to in the show notes – you reflect that upon discovering your Aboriginal heritage, you mentioned, “It was a shame factor.” I'd love to explore how this change in understanding about your identity affect your sense of belonging within Australian society?But just before you answer, I want to add something else. Your dad said he kept you identity a secret because, “Aboriginal people were not particularly loved or cared for in those days.” We're just about to hear from singer songwriter, John Schumann, and we'll be chatting about his song, On Every Anzac Day, which honours Aboriginal Australians who fought in the Australian army, defending someone else's king and defending land that had been taken away from them. Later in the song, the returned serviceman went to join his local RSL but was rejected because the people there didn't see a fellow soldier, they saw a black fella. Songs like that make me think I would have done the same as your father. But maybe there is a cost. Storytelling is clearly vital in Aboriginal culture. I remember hearing some dreaming stories shared by Aboriginal philosopher and author, Tyson Yunkaporta, and one, in particular about a crow and a magpie, has stayed with me ever since. Every time I see one of those birds, I remember the story about listening to your elders. It was the first time I understood the power of storytelling for passing on knowledge. How do you see storytelling among the Boandik people as similar to or different from mainstream Australian stories and the stuff we see on Netflix? You've worked tirelessly to forge connections and share your culture. What common grounds have you found most effective in bridging cultural divides? Looking to the future, you've expressed being “dangerously optimistic” about preserving Boandik Country's legacy. What are your hopes for the next generation of both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians in creating a more inclusive and understanding society? 00:29:58 Musical Pilgrimage In the Musical Pilgrimage, we feature an extended interview with John Schumann ahead of a special concert at The Gov on August 3, which we'll be going to, in which John Schumann and the Vagabond Band will work through a stack of John's back catalogue. In an interview for an ABC radio documentary on John Schumann's nation-changing song “I was only 19”, the noted rock historian Glenn A Baker concluded by saying “John Schumann is one of the finest songwriters this country has produced.” It's hard to argue with that because John Schumann's songs have that trace of red bulldust in them that is part bravado, part earthy wisdom, and they hang around your memory like flies in the Flinders Ranges. John, welcome back to The Adelaide Show. John, you and the Vagabond Crew are doing a show with many of the John Schumann back catalogue numbers on August 3 at The Gov. And I did see a video clip of you bemoaning the fact that cover bands earn more money that original singer songwriters these days, so think of the concert as a John Schumann cover show. Clever stuff!! We're recording this chat during NAIDOC week 2024, so as part of our meander through some of your South Australian-specific songs, I want to start and end with two that involve First Nations stories. The first is On Every Anzac Day. Back in 2014, the then Chief of Army, LTGEN David Morrison, commissioned you to write a song to pay tribute to Indigenous men and women who served Australia because he was worried the Anzac Centenary was going to ignore them. Turns out he was right, in a way, because as the song documents beautifully, there's the story of a black returned servicemen wanting to join his local RSL, only to be turned away because the people there only saw a black fella, not a soldier. Now, of course, when it comes to sacrifice and putting your life on the line, it's not a competition but there's something even more profound and filled with pathos and tragedy when you revere the fact that our Aboriginal soldiers put their lives on the line for someone else's king to defend the land they had taken away from them. How does this song resonate with you today and have you seen any clarity in how to fathom the contrasts and the tragedy of these situations?And who is singing with you on this? In our last episode, 395, we waltzed through all the big political stories of the day and I was able to use five Redgum songs to set the context for each. The opposition's call for nuclear power to be back on the agenda was accompanied by “Where Ya Gonna Run to?” There is the verse “Enrich the oxide out of Port Pirie and the toxic gases they won't even see but where ya gonna go when the north wind blows, where ya gonna run to now”. Interestingly, there has been some fairly solid science to support nuclear energy over the years but as we pointed out last week, its time has passed. It takes too long to build, the costs will blow out, and we'll be making more leaps and bounds with greener energy sources. Despite some of the work in its favour, you're dead right in that song – a haunting thought is what happens when something goes wrong? Of course, that's a quick, dramatic death, vs the slow drowning we're all suffering from the burning of oil, gas, and coal. Where's your thinking on this today? In episode 394, we traced some South Australian links to the stories of Sherlock Holmes, including the ship, Bass Rock, which was mentioned in the story, The Adventure of the Abbey Grange, travelling from Adelaide to Southampton. Not all ships made it, of course, including the famous Star of Greece, which broke apart and ran aground in a violent storm off Port Willunga on the 13th July 1888. There's some discrepancy in the actual number of lives lost, due to doubts about the number of people aboard the vessel when it left Port Adelaide, but most historians conclude that at least 18 perished. And one person who didn't, was your great grandfather, who missed the boat and saved his life. Can you take us into this story some more, and the song that appears on Etched In Blue called Thunder Across The Reef?Also, I have a recollection of hearing you perform this in Willunga – a special performance of etched in blue a long time ago – perhaps as part of a community arts project? For the Children is a song you wrote in your last few months in Redgum. Your first child was two and you were getting dragged away on tour by Redgum's management for 3 months at a time. For the Children explains, in part, why you left the band”. This is off rhyme or no rhyme – or really obtuse. Was that on purpose to invoke a mood of listlessness?Who was the lady from the paper?Have your kids ever used these words against you because sometimes we tap our higher, aspirational serves when writing and then life and foibles get in the way? “Graduation Day”, is a poignant evocation of the toll taken on our police officers who are called to serve and protect our communities. It's particularly raw here in the wake of the death of the son of our Police Commissioner, Grant Stephens. It was an unusual twist on the toll our people in blue pay. Another song about service in uniform. Some might think this contrasts with the Redgum bravado about ASIO printing out Redgum files so they can climb up to get to ours. Is it the writing class link between people on patrol? I want to finish with “Just Fade Away”, in which we hear a story about explorer John McDouall Stuart. The people from the Arabana nation advised him to follow the birds if he wanted to find water. What a great story, connecting us back to Uncle Ken, too.There's a great Wall of sound – What's making that haunting sound?Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You'll be sitting in on a unique and eclectic political analysis with our in-house pollster, Robert Godden. Inspired by the poignant lyrics of Redgum, we'll dissect the mood of the electorate and explore burning issues from nuclear energy debates to the controversies of political donations and the ongoing strain on South Australia's hospital system. We'll also debate the legacy of Frome and the critical funding battles between sports and the arts. The SA Drink Of The Week this week is the new Australian whisky released by 23rd Street. And in the Musical Pilgrimage, we feature the new song from Alison Newman, which delves into PND. You can navigate episodes using chapter markers in your podcast app. Not a fan of one segment?

Oh, and here's our index of all episode in one concisepage Running Sheet: Redgum-flavoured Mid Year South Australian Politics Pulse Check 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:03:02 SA Drink Of The Week For our SA Drink of the Week segment, we're diving into the craftsmanship behind 23rd Street Distillery's pioneering Australian Whisky. 23rd Street has taken quality Australian barley, and then distilled it using two different, historic copper pot stills, amplifying the whisky's natural flavours and aromatic oils. Each batch boasts a robust palate of biscuity malt, vanillin oak, and toasty undertones. This whisky is matured in ex-Bourbon barrels and richly seasoned Tawny barrels. Join us as whisky aficionado David Olney helps us explore this bold, new addition to the 23rd Street lineup. 00:16:26 The Redgum-flavoured Political Pulse Check With Robert Godden Having seen footage of Premier Peter Malinauskus sleeping rough on a winter's night, it gave us pause for thought. What are his chances of staying ensconced in the warm and comforting rooms and hallways of Parliament House after the next election vs his risk of being tossed into the street? We figured it was time to check in with our in-house political pollster, Robert Godden, for his unique and eclectic range of political tea leaf reading. Robert, is it possible to start with your reading of the mood of the electorate, or, should I say, state? Here are some issues to give our discussion some structure, given some context by Redgum: I'd like to start with some Redgum lyrics (Enrich the oxide out of Port Pirie, And the toxic gases they won't even see, But where ya gonna go, When the North wind blows, Where ya gonna run to now?). Of course, this relates to the ongoing debate that never seems to reach its half life; nuclear power. Federal Opposition Leader Peter Dutton's calls for nuclear energy is raising heat levels within South Australian Liberal ranks. Some more Redgum lyrics (Electioneering's such a bore, Three months of bending ears, Thank Christ I only see you yobbos, Once every three years). Of course, that's four years in SA but when we think elections we have to think about all the political donations helping to prop up the different teams. What do you think of the South Australian government's proposal to ban political donations? More Redgum lyrics (Life wasn't meant to be impossible, Spare us the indignity, Two cheers for progress, reason denied, Whitewash and platitudes are all I can find). Does this relate to concerns about the strain on South Australia's hospital system, with the government releasing a new ad campaign to reduce pressure on emergency departments. More Redgum lyrics (We went looking for Australia In between the TV lines, 'Cause the ABC just couldn't make it real, Colour documentary From a beanbag on the floor Never shows as much as it conceals), this brings us to Frome and what he was really like and whether we should cancel him as the namesake of one of our electorates, as requested by Upper House MP Reggie Martin. More Redgum lyrics (Yes we know it was the festival of art and all that stuff, And the culture vultures still sat on the fence, Before you put your bum on those plush red seats take, a look in your backyard, Don't we need some changes in this town?) One of the big changes is more funding for the arts, with the government facing criticism that it prioritises sports over the arts. Discuss. 01:06:05 Musical Pilgrimage In the Musical Pilgrimage, we feature a song by Alison Newman, Things Are About To Get Dark. Experience a deeply personal musical journey with Alison Newman in our Musical Pilgrimage. Her EP "WOLF" confronts the challenging themes of postnatal depression, likened to a haunting dance with the Wolf of PND. Each track narrates a phase of her struggle and recovery, encapsulating the dark yet ultimately hopeful journey through a mix of melodramatic sounds and profound lyrics. This segment is not just a song feature; it's a testament to the resilience found in seeking help and the power of discussing mental health openly. The track we're hearing retells Alison's experience from the moment she experienced her first PND symptoms, it is a forboding moment of realisation, it is going to happen all over again.

There is so much goodness in the album, that we have them in the studio to walk us through a selection of songs about this state and this city, which has been named the Coolest Place In Australia by the Wall Street Journal. Buy Back in ADL on Bandcamp. Fergus, you've been on the Adelaide Show before, and you have 100% South Australian bona fides, having been born in Whyalla and grown up in Clare. Plus, you are married to one of our longest term listeners, Andrea Ferguson. I picture Johnny Cash walking along a railway line in the country and picking out a tune like, I Walk The Line. When did you first write a song based on a location in South Australia? Dr D. In the early days of our podcast, you had to be born and bred in SA to get a gong, but having moved here from the UK after your frequent visits gradually hardwired SA into your DNA, you are warmly welcomed. You've performed on five continents including legendary venues in London and Chicago. Is there a tangible, physical difference between the venues in those places compared to venues in South Australia OR if they feel more significant, is that due to the aura of those cities? It took me 4 or 5 songs on my first listen to fight through the echoes of cultural cringe. I've spoken about this with Peter Goers about how I don't bat an eyelid when a song talks about Baton Rouge or New York or Chicago or London, but when it mentions anywhere in Australia, let alone South Australia, it feels tacky or too familiar. I don't think it's actually cultural cringe because I'm very proud of our country and our townships. I think it might more closely be linked to the saying that a profit is never recognised or respected in their homeland. Let's get going with the title track, Back in ADL. BACK IN ADL (17:35) When you are writing about places, how do you stop them from sounding like TV commercials or slogans or jingles for property developments? Henley Square is one of those songs that comes very close to sounding like this, but so, too, does the title track, Back in ADL. The line take me to your deli counter and let me taste your ways because there's lots of innuendo there especially with smallgoods ... or is that just me? In our early days, we had the Adelaide Visa Council because people made lazy jokes about Adelaide being boring and Paul Barry from Media Watch was very cynical about Adelaide earning the Coolest City label from the Wall Street Journal. Let's listen to his cowardly backhander from a recent episode of Media Bites. I thought we were past these lazy jokes. Your thoughts? The second track on the album, Gulf of St. Vincent, contains the O word. Is that pedantic to query that? Is that just Total Adelaide? Talking of Vincent, I think St Vincent Street is a great song that needs to be included, all about about a particular female police officer. VINCENT STREET (36:00) Talking of streets, let's address the myth of naming conventions and the belief you cannot cross the king. In episode 28 of The Adelaide Show, around the 45-minute mark, Keith Conlon highlights that it was popularly believed that the reason none of our city streets continue either side of King William Street is because you CANNOT CROSS THE KING. PLAY KEITH CONLON INSERT Have you caught much flak about that song? CROSS OUT THE KING (47:50) When you get into history, I note that This Is Our Beef has an early Redgum feel. Beef Rebellion story THIS IS OUR BEEF (58:05) The thing about writing songs about places we know and live it, is that we all have stories that intersect with your songs. Do people call out during the show or want to talk to you afterwards? FOUR TREES (MIRNU WIRRA) (1:08:01) If I were at your show, I'd be chewing your ear about Johnnie's Gone Away because I worked at John Martins in the 80s in the West Lakes store in boyswear. And my maternal grandman, Lillian Field, she worked in the basement of the city store in the late 1930s when a young man from an engineering company turned up to fix the lifts. He soon became my grandpa. Why did you guys write about John Martins, which we're reflecting on the day after the 2023 Christmas Pageant which was a gift to SA from John Martins for most of its 131 years. JOHNNIE'S GONE AWAY (1:17:00) Finally, your Fringe show has won awards, and gotten great reviews. What is next? Has your song, Letter To Paul Kelly, caught Paul's attention? LETTER TO PAUL KELLY (1:28:45) 00:00:00 Musical Pilgrimage This whole episode was an extended Musical Pilgrimage segment.Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

During the second year of The Adelaide Show podcast, the lineup transitions from a trio of hosts to an interview format with one main guest and two hosts. Nigel Dobson became the permanent co-host, along with Steve Davis. In this time, the podcast had some wonderful innovations from Nigel, not least of which was the Is It News segment, and a decision to hold topics to a high standard of requiring an evidence-base. There is no SA Drink Of The Week in this episode, although we do sip on a 2018 Highbank Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon during recording. And in the Musical Pilgrimage, John Schumann joins Steve to talk about his remake of I Was Only 19 with The Waifs.

This 40th anniversary remake might owe its existence to a bizarre historical accident. As John says, "when I wrote about Redgum bootlegs in "I've been to Bali too", the Waifs hadn't even formed. 40 years later, we get to collaborate on a re-imagining of "I was only 19".

John Schumann - Redgum with Ian Blackley I was only 19, 40th anniversary rerelease with the WaifsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Adelaide Show podcast began in 2013 with a mission: to challenge the notion that Adelaide is boring. This special episode is a reunion of the three founders, Steve Davis, Colin Richard, and Brett Monten. "I remember meeting Colin Richard sharing our frustration at the lazy jokes by comedians on the eastern seaboard about how boring Adelaide was," recalls podcast co-founder, Steve Davis. "We decided to start a podcast and name it after the Redgum song, One More Boring Thursday Night In Adelaide, as an ironic counter attack." Another Boring Thursday Night In Adelaide was launched on August 29, 2013, and one of the first segments was called The Adelaide Visa Council, in which the podcasters read out tweets by users who referenced Adelaide being boring. The "evidence" was discussed and if the offending tweets were deemed unfounded, the trio revoked the Twitter (now X) user's Adelaide visa, and let them know. "Those who fell foul of our deliberations would often engage in discussion and most of the time they recanted their allegations and had their visas restored, including a former leader of the Adelaide United cheer squad, who was terribly apologetic." Early features included regular segments on health (the Made to Move Minute with exercise physiologist Max Martin), and news (headline highlights by InDaily's David Washington). Its early, conversational format transformed to a structured, long form interview program by episode 80, at which time it rebadged as The Adelaide Show, having taken credit for reducing online slurs against Adelaide. The SA Drink Of The Week is a 2016 Highbank Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon. And in the Musical Pilgrimage, Ben Searcy and his haunting song, Wangary.

Oh, and here's our index of all episode in one concise page Running Sheet: Another Boring Thursday Night In Adelaide 10th Birthday 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:03:11 Colin, Brett, and Steve In mid-2013, I spoke with Colin about starting a podcast. And he said yes. Shortly thereafter, I spoke to Brett, and he said yes. The driving themes for me were frustration over the lazy, unfunny jokes and barbs that interstaters and some locals made about Adelaide being boring, a desperate need I had to get out of the rut of working seven days a week, and my unquenchable love for the art of radio. It's now 10 years later and we've got the band back together. What were your reasons, Colin and Brett? 00:13:55 SA Drink Of The Week We have a special wine this episode, the 2016 Highbank Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon.

American rock band JOURNEY has a style that's hard to define and pigeonhole. The group was formed in San Francisco by members of Steve Miller Band and Santana in 1973. Journey had its biggest commercial success between 1978 and 1987 with Steve Perry as lead vocalist. They released a series of hit songs, including 1981's ‘Don't Stop Believin' which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history. One of its founders, music prodigy NEAL SCHON joins me today to tell us about the band's genesis, Steve Perry's departure and their latest album. The first in eleven years. We also catch up with a pop/rock singer and songwriter whose smooth but gently soulful voice helped earn him a pair of hit singles in the early '80s. Brooklyn born ROBBIE DUPREE used to sing with the group New World Rising. That band's guitarist, NILE RODGERS went on to have an amazing career as a producer, songwriter, and leader of the band CHIC. We meet Robbie at his home in Woodstock NY to hear all about the changes in the music industry and to check on what he's up to today. Say hi to one of Australia's most iconic 70's bands that helped shape the history of the local music scene. JOHN SCHUMANN and REDGUM led the way in proudly telling Australian stories. For the first time, Aussie place names and cultural intricacies became fodder for lyrics and instead of trying to sound American, the band became one of the first to show off the distinctive Aussie accent. If you don't live in Australia it's likely you've never heard the songs before but I assure you, once you've heard them, you'll never forget them! Check out the website https://abreathoffreshair.com.au/episodes/journeys-neal-schon-robbie-dupree-and-john-schumann/ For more information about Journey head to their website https://journeymusic.com/ If you'd like to know more about Robbie Dupree, reach out to him through facebook https://www.facebook.com/RobbieDupreeOfficial/ And for John Schumann and the Vagabond Crew - https://www.facebook.com/johnschumannandthevagabondcrew/ or John Schumann's website http://www.schumann.com.au/

This week's guest, Peter 'Redgum' Roberts, is an environmentalist and self-taught propagator, a white bloke ruffling the feathers of the squatocracy with his adoption of the ancient practise of lighting fires. Robert has Authority Defiant Syndrome, like most of our guests, and was no teacher's pet, carving out his own unique life with his family, learning about and caring for our amazing natural world. He's come far since beginning his entry to the world at Queen Victoria Hospital in Melbourne. Thanks for the great, relaxed yarn, Peter. Keep up the good work.

They were the band that first appeared on Victoria's surf coast in 1977 at a time when Australians seemed ready for change. SHANE HOWARD's GOANNA wasn't alone in its quest for social and environmental justice. Bands like Midnight Oil and Redgum were calling for it too. Shane joins me this week as the band gets ready for a national tour to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the band's first monster hit – 'Solid Rock'. Come with me and hear the stories from that legendary guitarist JEFF 'STICK' DAVIS who has played with artists like B.B King, Al Green and countless others. 'Stick' was the founding member of that 'one-hit wonder' band, THE AMAZING RHYTHM ACES. He's actually played with them twice– once in the 70's and then again some fifteen years later. Today we find him in Florida still playing music and having fun. THE YARDBIRDS are not just one of those iconic bands from the 1960s that are still around today. They were the birth-ground, the launchpad for a hat-trick of musical legends. It's 30 years since they were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame; 35 years since Eric Clapton denied he was the greatest guitarist in the world. Formed in 1963, drummer JIM MCCARTY gives us the scoop on the band then and now and admits he was just a teenie bit jealous at the instant success of The Yardbirds' descendant, LED ZEPPELIN.

This is our 50th episode at Awesome Aussie Songs and we are proud to release an episode on one of the most important songs ever written in Australia, I Was Only 19 (A Walk in the Light Green) by Redgum. Our special guest is the writer of this iconic song John Schumann. Here is the link to songs updated film clip from the movie  Danger Close https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNTb9_zTvcQ  

This episode tells the story of the Australian Vietnam War experience told through the lyrics of the quintessential Australian anthem; I was only 19. Released by Redgum in 1983, the lyrics finally told the story how it was, touching the hearts and minds of the Australian public and Vietnam Veterans alike. The conversation about Vietnam had for too long been brushed under the carpet, but this song as much as anything forced a new narrative of empathy and healing. Following on from my popular Vietnam War Music Episode, this Songstory is a uniquely Australian tale dedicated to those who served. Dara Hession plays a variety of acoustic song versions throughout this podcast to help tell the story including, The Band played the Waltzing Matilda, Willie MacBride, Leaving on a Jet Plane, Khe Sanh, When the War is Over, and I was only 19.#darahessionmusic  @darahessionmusic

John Schumann of Redgum fame joins us to reflect on the role of protest songs, especially in times like these, given that protest songs are often rooted in a particular time and place.

We'd greatly appreciate it. And please talk about us and share our episodes on social media, it really helps build our community. Oh, and here's our index of all episode in one concise page   Running Sheet: John Schumann on protest songs in times like these00:00:00 Intro Introduction to the show. 00:04:20 SA Drink Of The Week The SA Drink Of The Week is 2015 Pikes The Merle Riesling, tasting with Andrew Pike. 00:11:20 John Schumann In 2017, John Schumann teamed up with Shane Howard to co-write a modern protest song, Times Like These. Apart from the sense of frustration in the lyrics about how previously hard won gains are disappearing by degrees, there's a haunting line in it that has spooked me, given that I'm now in my second decade as a marketer who teaches businesses how to use social media: From Dondale to Manus Island detention People are drowning in a sea of inattention This society is so fraught with and saturated by things of distraction, I wonder if protest songs are ever going to have potency ever again. So, I've asked John Schumann to reflect on this with me. John, I want to trawl back through some of your protest songs produced with Redgum, and get your reflections on other protest songs of note, but let's start with an experience I had this morning, when I went to YouTube to relisten to TImes Like These. They say that protest songs thrive within a social and temporal context (time and place), that's what gives them meaning and power, so how's this. Your song was not able to play until I'd been subjected to a cheery ad for Target, coaxing me to buy some glittering toys, and then a health insurance ad wooing me to switch to them with the offer of waiving waiting times for claiming extras. I think I got my daily allowance of irony. Could Bob Dylan's Blowing In The Wind get cut through in Times Like These? And when are Times Like These NOT times like these. For example, we hear of people protesting the invention of the printing press, saying books will wear out our brains, we hear of ancient Roman  writers lamenting "today's youth", and then we hear songs from back in the 70s like Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron with lyrics like: Seem like winter in America And ain't nobody fighting, Because nobody knows what to save Are all times as good or as bad as all other times, which begs the question, do we need protest songs at all - or do they give us something to occupy ourselves with, like throwing a bone to a dog? You and I both saw a show at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival recently, The Art Of Protest, starring Vince Jones. My feeling at the time as a Vince Jones fan, was that there was a dissonance between Jone's smooth and polished voice and exquisite jazz accompaniment, and the heart-rending nature of some of the protest songs he played. Are there some key ingredients for a protest song to work, eg, the style of voice and music, as much as the content? There was nuance in the name of Jones' show - the Art Of Protest. Art suggests that artists CHOOSE to do a protest song. Am I just naive to think that "real" protests songs are songs that emerge because there is NO OTHER CHOICE, vs making a decision to do something from the protest genre just like a pop genre? Should there be a price paid by singing or writing protest songs? Can you take us through the chemistry and the road map that led you and Redgum to write and produce some pretty bitter and frustrated songs? What did you ever hope to achieve with any of your songs that might be classed protest songs, such as I Was Only 19? And do you start with an agenda, or do you just have something to say and let the cards fall where they may? In a recent episode of Blind Insights with David Olney, they quoted a former PM of Australia saying: We will tolerate dissent, as long as it is ineffective. Does that wind you, to hear that? Does that make the protest enterprise futile? Most important protest songs? Advice to any young Redgums today? 01:03:56 Musical Pilgrimage In the musical pilgrimage, we have a fitting song from John Schumann and the Vagabond Crew, featuring Shane Howard, called Times Like These.

September 25th is two weeks b efore our federal budget so this is a chance to push for COVID REcovery which turbo charges the jobs already being powered by clean energy,not new coal or gas. GREG MULLINS speaking to an audience of unionists and students,tells us of the fire seasons ahead. A couple of extra fire fighting planes wont do it. He wants proper financing of Forestry managers skilled in cultural burning and paid year round to manage the forests. He says the fire risk of 850 gaswells in the Pilliga Forest at Narrabri is disgusting. EDIE SHEPHERD talks about the National Covid Commission stacked with fossil fuel bosses and their gas agenda. The NT government wants a gas pipeline from the BEETALOO Basin to the coast despite consistent opposition from Indigenous people."We've been saying no to projects that hurt country"from the Gommeroi in NSW to the Boroloola mob in the Gulf of Carpentaria. She says "harm to our country is harm to us" and unions have a proud history of supporting indigenous struggles. For her the Right wing wont let a good crisis go to waste and  we have to meet the threat of a gas led recovery at scale. SHOI SENGUPTA took time from her year 12 studies to tell us all about September 25th. Its a day of action in Victoria and Qld and a strike in other states.https://www.schoolstrike4climate.com/mp ELIZABETH MADDOX  explains how she witnessed  the build up of momentum in the school where she  teaches. First a few brave students spoke out at assembly, then they invited speakers and held letter writing sessions, then some of them led the big school strikes and now climate action is  mainstream in that school community and growing. She reads also from her novel "Category 5" which is about a French class excursion to the Pacific islands just as a  terrible storm sweeps the Pacific. DAVE KERIN is a builder of the future. It is not all about saying NO. He talks about Co Ops and the way collective ownership prevents the worst of capitalism.As the climate crisis  accelerates, He says of  unionist"We never leave our wounded behind" He is part of the  Powering Melbourne Cooperative Steering Committee - The current Covid-19 crisis provides the opportunity for the Committee to propose a  cooperatively owned utilities concept to the Victorian government. https://earthworkerenergy.coop/As the students say "While our  Government and Members of Parliament rush to protect some of our communities from COVID 19, they continue to leave many people behind, and to protect mining companies and coal, oil and gas projects that threaten our collective future rather than building a better future for us all. "Dave Kerin through his Earth worker heatpumps and solar hot water,made in MORWELL plus  REDGUM cleaning co -op and the co -op housing they are planning is showing the way forward.https://www.foe.org.au/earthworker_april_update The next steps the students are recommending are:PASS MOTION: Pass a motion at your workplace, or within the executive of your union, to endorse the Build Our Future: Climate, Justice, & Jobs day of action. Template motion can be found in the September 25th Union Outreach Guide.LET US KNOW: Send through confirmation of your endorsement of the Build Our Future Day of Action to Tim Davis Frank - tim@tippingpoint.org.au PUBLIC DECLARATION: Send an email to your members and share the action on social media - a public declaration of support from your union would be amazing! The September 25th Promotion Pack has template emails and social squares.ORGANISE AN ACTION: Organise a Covidsafe action for September 25th inside or outside the workplace. Click here to register your action on the website.FUTURE PLANNING: Where possible, set up a committee in your union and elect a climate action representative to coordinate with School Strike 4 Climate in the future and help us plan the next action to achieve a just transition for all workers! The students are standing up again and taking action on September 25th, here in Australia and around the world. A reminder that their demands are are: No public funds for gas and other damaging fossil fuel projects. Instead, recovery funds should be spent on:Resourcing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-led solutions that guarantee land rights and care for country,The creation of jobs that fast-track solutions to the climate crisis and help communities recover,Projects that transition our economy and communities to 100% renewable energy by 2030, through expanded public ownership. The students are inviting all unions to stand beside them once again!

On this ANZAC Day COTF episode, named after the motto of the Vietnam Veterans Association of Australia, we open with The Last Post and discuss our thoughts on the day, the Vietnam War, war films and documentaries, including 'Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan'. The AFL coaches doing TikTok dances cop a serve. We discuss the new Michael Jordan / Chicago Bulls documentary on Netflix, 'The Last Dance', as well as the greats of NBA. We also talk about Italy's run at the 1994 Word Cup in the USA after Simon rewatched the Italy vs Nigeria 2nd round match. Also on our TV screen this week was the West Coast Eagles vs Port Adelaide elimination final from 2017. Some billionaires are more equal than others. We heap praise (read: scorn) on our favourite ABC Chief Economics Correspondent who doesn't want us to talk about the economy. And we finish with a very poignant tune about the PTSD that Vietnam Veterans experienced on their return from that terrible conflict: Redgum's 'I Was Only 19' with an intro from singer John Schumann. #LestWeForget Follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ChroniclesOnTheFly and on Instagram at www.instagram.com/chroniclesontheflypod

Exploring issues that have occurred due to the misuse of government power in two poems, " I was only 19" by Redgum and " The Tears of a Slave" by Aficus.

The day that man first landed on the moon, an Australian patrol in Vietnam was devastated by a landmine explosion. The incident was made famous by the Redgum song “I was only 19”. This is an eyewitness account of what really happened that day and how, for one soldier David Sturmer, that detonation echoed over the next forty years.

Earthworker is establishing a network of worker-owned cooperatives committed to sustainable enterprise throughout Australia. They believe social and environmental exploitation are intertwined, and that the problems of climate change, job insecurity and growing inequality must be tackled simultaneously, through greater grassroots economic ownership. They have already established Redgum, a worker owned cleaners co-operative in Melbourne, and are in the final stages of establishing the Earthworker Energy Manufacturing Cooperative (formerly Eureka’s Future).

Redgum's ‘I was only 19' united the Vietnam veteran's movement in Australia. The song tells the true story of an Australian soldier's experience fighting in the Vietnam jungle. But before Redgum could create an anthem that changed the national conversation, songwriter John Schumann would need to find a veteran willing to share their story.

In this episode we 'swap laughs and company' as we explore the worlds of two, great, Adelaide mates, David Minear and John Schumann. In surfing parlance, tonight's conversation is like a bombora that we surf all the way back safely to shore! John Schumann discusses Redgum, songwriting, Australia, cars, family, Henry Lawson, attitudes to the nuclear industry, ice cream and PTSD. David Minear discusses advertising, Young and Rubicam, Mitsubishi, Sigma, Adelaide Fringe, West End advertising, Henry Lawson, Golden North, Kojo, the film industry and being a chairman of different boards. And despite all those topics, we hardly scratched the surface with these guys. We hope to get them back one day! IS IT NEWS picked up on the surfing theme, giving David a slight advantage, given his business, Bombora, is a haven for surf music recording in Australia.

It's not often that the podcast has a guest that was born into a world of music, but this is certainly the case when it comes to Georgia Macdonald - known professionally and colloquially around the traps as Georgia Maq. The daughter of Redgum alum Hugh Macdonald, Georgia has had lyrics, harmonies, chords and songwriting quite literally bred into her. She emerged as a solo act a few years ago and is on the verge of becoming one of the country's most intriguing and relatable songwriters. On a brief visit to Sydney, the delightful Maq enlightens us on the story so far - writing honestly, performing publicly and all the good shit. Georgia's split-release with friend-of-the-show Spencer "Scooter" Scott AKA Scotty AKA Schooner is out now via Lost Boy Records.
