Podcasts about Robert Johnson

"Punk music has produced some of the greatest performers and some of the greatest musician nicknames. Here is a list of the best names and where they came form."

In this episode of Please Me, Eve sits down with Robert Johnson, founder of Shameless Care, for a raw, eye-opening conversation about the serious gaps in standard STI testing — and how his personal experience sparked a much-needed revolution in sexual health care. Robert shares how a routine STI panel — that came back negative — still left him unknowingly transmitting gonorrhea. That one moment revealed a much bigger problem in the way most doctors approach STI testing, especially when it comes to oral and asymptomatic infections. Together, Eve and Robert dive deep into: Why “full panel” testing often isn't full at all The shocking truth about oral gonorrhea and how often it's missed How the swinger and ethically non-monogamous communities approach safe sex — and where they fall short The stigma, controversy, and misunderstanding around herpes testing How Shameless Care is filling critical gaps left by traditional medical care The conversations we should be having with our partners before becoming sexually active PLUS: Robert shares valuable free resources that can help you advocate for comprehensive STI testing with your own doctor, even if you can't afford full at-home kits.

This week on TIme Signatures with Jim Ervin, Erv welcomes Manx Blues guitarist, straight from the Isle of Man, Davy Knowles. Davy dropped by to talk about his early years in music, largely influenced by the likes of Rory Gallagher, Eric Clapton, and Robert Johnson. It was the Dire Straits' Sultans of Swing that first bit Davy, and after a few guitar lessons, he chose to take the self-taught route….and the rest is history. The ensuing trail took him from John Mayall and Eric Clapton's ‘Beano Album', to Peter Green's era with Fleetwood Mac, and ultimately landing on Rory-and he was off to the races. It was a fun chat, covering some of his early work with his band, ‘Back Door Slam', and ending on his newest recorded work, ‘The Invisible Man'. We have just one episode left in Season Four….any ideas who it might be?

"Back in 1973 Muhammad Ali knocks out George Foreman in what was called The Rumble in the Jungle. This victory inspires Johnny Wakelin to write the song Black Superman. He gets a hit with it. So what other songs are written for or about athletes. We have a list."

In this thrilling special bonus video episode, we're taking a deep dive into blues history with a conversation that feels like stepping straight into legend. A.M. Jamison joins Doug from the Crossroads—yes, that Crossroads, the fabled location tied to Robert Johnson's mysterious tale and the birthplace of the blues.But that's just the beginning. A.M. is streaming live from the porch at Dockery Farms, the historic site near Clarksdale, Mississippi, where Delta blues pioneers like Charley Patton played, jammed, and shaped the future of American music. This episode is more than just a discussion—it's an exploration into the very heart and soul of blues, told from a place where the echoes of history still linger.Tune in and experience the roots of music like never before. This one's for the blues lovers, the storytellers, and anyone who believes in the magic of music's origins.

Summer is wonderful, of course — and much appreciated after that seeming endless winter — but it brings a bit of blues to the band room. That's because when the temperature's rising and the livin' is easy, Floodsters tend to scurry away in many different directions. New Orleans, Orlando, even France have been among the far-away places that lately temporarily scattered the old gang.In fact, the last time the Bowen House had a full boat for the band's weekly rehearsal was more than three weeks ago. One of the last tunes of that night was this cautionary tale. Think of this bon voyage as a quirky little trip advisory.About the Song“Deep Ellum Blues” isn't really a blues, not structurally, anyway; rather, it is more of a rollicking roadhouse song from deep in the heart of Texas.As reported here earlier, the tune celebrates — advertises? frets over? — a section of Dallas with a sketchy, colorful history. Back to the 1920s, it was down on Deep Ellum where you could rub shoulders with Blind Lemon Jefferson and Huddie Ledbetter, with Robert Johnson and Bessie Smith.Pigeon droppers, reefer men, crap shooters, card sharks and various purveyors of cocaine and bootleg whisky also populated those parts, not to mention the odd gangster (think Bonnie and Clyde and Pretty Boy Floyd).“It was the only place recorded on earth where business, religion, hoodooism, gambling and stealing go on at the same time without friction,” said Darwin Payne in his 1982 book Dallas, an Illustrated History.For more about the song's curious history, click here.Finding More Flood SongsIf there are other Flood songs you're in the mood for this morning, the best place to find them is in the free Flood Watch newsletter.

Mark is joined by long time High Hammock friend and contributor, Griffin of the Reboot Deboot Podcast, to discuss the life, times and mystery surrounding the Delta Blues Master, Robert Johnson, and how exactly he got so good at the guitar. 

In the Fifteenth episode There Is No Planet Earth Stories, I sit down with legendary DJ, producer, and remixer Justin Strauss for a wide-ranging conversation about his remarkable journey through music and nightlife culture.We explore Justin's early music experiences—from seeing The Beatles live to attending iconic shows at Electric Circus. He shares stories from his time as the frontman of the glam-punk band Milk n' Cookies, and his transition into DJing, including his first gig and influential residency at the legendary Mudd Club.Justin also reflects on his pivotal roles as resident DJ at iconic 80's NYC venues like Area, and The Ritz. Additionally,  our conversation explores the origins and evolution of his prolific remix and production career, which continues to inspire across generations.“Few DJs could adequately represent the last three decades of New York nightclub history - no less do so with such iconic credentials as Justin Strauss. Since he was 17, when his first band was signed to Island Records, Justin has had a career that reads like a Who's-Who of the music scene, spinning at nearly every dance club that you'd ever want to go to. Starting as DJ at New York's legendary Mudd Club, he spun his way through The Ritz, Limelight, Area, Tunnel, M.K., Life, Centro Fly and more, pioneering his own distinctive sound, and becoming one of the most sought-after remixers and producers not just in New York, but in the world. He has worked with the gamut of artists - Depeche Mode, Hot Chip, Sergio Mendez, Tina Turner, Jimmy Cliff, B-52s, Luther Vandross, 808 State, Malcolm McClaren, Skinny Puppy, Goldfrapp, LCD Soundsystem to name a few and on over 300 records!  Much of the new dance crowd that goes to hear Justin DJ today, doesn't necessarily know his history; they simply love his spinning because he always keeps them dancing and surprised, seamlessly mixing between choice classics, delectable rarities and innovative beats. For Justin, no genre or style is off-limits – he can and will mix anything, so long as he can keep the crowd enthralled. His self-proclaimed mission is “connecting the dots” between what might otherwise seem disparate musical periods and styles, while introducing exciting new sounds. He does so with infectious passion, subverting preconceptions about what's old and new, and inspiring young DJs with his masterful skill and ever-youthful spirit. But Justin Strauss doesn't stop there. As half of the production duos, Whatever/Whatever and A/JUS/TED, he continued to produce and mix records, working on remixes for the likes of Hot Chip, William Onyeabor,LCD Soundsystem, Blood Orange, Holy Ghost!, Franz Ferdinand, Beyonce. Working on new projects Extra Credit with Joe Goddard of Hot Chip & Marcus Marr, and with Max Pask under their Each Other moniker, whose debut E.P.'s were mixed by Soulwax and released on their Deewee label, with new releases coming soon. Touring the world Dj'ing at Panorama Bar in Berlin, Robert Johnson in Frankfurt, Zunkunft in Zurich to name a few.  In fact, he doesn't stop at all.”Support the show

Fretless guitar pioneer NED EVETT is taking his new album — and his new signature-model Aluminati aluminum-necked fretless guitar — to Europe to rock just about every big city you can name over there in support of JOE SATRIANI and STEVE VAI's “SatchVai Band: Surfing with the Hydra” continent-spanning tour. And in this interview/jam, Ned shares exactly how he'll approach his solo sets opening for the two superstar guitar heroes. He also details songs from “Strange Kind of Freedom” (the aforementioned new album) as well as dives into his many influences — from rock to Indian ragas to folk to life-changing tunes by the Who and Robert Johnson — and relives what it was like to have guitar magician ADRIAN BELEW produce one of his albums. This episode is presented by Guitar Player and GuitarPlayer.com, and hosted by JUDE GOLD

Inside Shameless Care: Revolutionizing Sexual Health Testing shamelesscare.com About the Guest(s): Robert Johnson is the founder of Shameless Care, a pioneering telemedicine company that specializes in delivering sexual healthcare tailored for real-life needs. After a personal experience with an STI test failing to detect an infection, Robert launched Shameless Care to offer comprehensive and judgment-free telemedicine services. His company focuses on thorough STI testing, inclusive of all potential infection sites, and has been leading efforts in providing honest and accessible sexual health resources. Robert's background is steeped in entrepreneurship and he is dedicated to improving healthcare by addressing gaps in traditional testing methods. Episode Summary: In this episode of The Chris Voss Show, listeners embark on an informative journey into the world of telemedicine and sexual health with Robert Johnson, founder of Shameless Care. Highlighted by enlightening anecdotes and expert insights, the conversation navigates through the complexities of STI testing, the rise of telemedicine, and how these innovations are transforming the landscape of sexual healthcare. This episode shines a light on the crucial importance of thorough STI testing, addressing often-overlooked aspects such as oral and anal infection sites that remain asymptomatic and consequently contribute to the spread of infections. Throughout the discussion, Robert Johnson emphasizes Shameless Care's commitment to enhancing sexual health through patient transparency and comprehensive service offerings. With the increasing prevalence of STIs, Robert argues for greater awareness and proactive measures, dispelling myths and shedding light on underrepresented issues within sexual healthcare. This conversation also touches upon societal and technological shifts influencing sexual behavior and healthcare, including how telemedicine is paving new pathways for privacy and honesty in patient-doctor interactions. Through engaging dialogue, the episode underscores the transformative impact and potential of telemedicine in creating a world where sexual health is accessible and stigma-free. Key Takeaways: Comprehensive STI Testing: Shameless Care stands out for its rigorous testing of 14 STIs, including often-neglected sites like the throat and anal areas, which can harbor infections asymptomatically. Privacy and Transparency in Telemedicine: The telemedicine model permits patients to discuss their health issues openly and without judgment, ensuring more accurate diagnoses and appropriate treatments. Prevalence of Asymptomatic Cases: Many STIs present without symptoms; thus, regular and thorough testing is essential for prevention and control. Innovations in Sexual Healthcare: Products like topical Viagra for women and Doxy PEP pills exemplify emerging solutions targeted at enhancing sexual health and prevention. Healthcare Accessibility and Education: Shameless Care's approach is educational and preventative, encouraging personal responsibility and safe sexual practices among users. Notable Quotes: "80% of our positive gonorrhea cases are oral only, caught only with that oral swab." "You can be completely honest with your doctor, and everybody should be honest with their doctor." "It's surprising how many times a married couple will order tests at the same time, get their test results back and not test positive for the same thing." "We're just really proud that we can offer a list of infections to help people get quality testing from their physicians." "Testing thoroughly is one of the most important actions people in the dating pool can take."

In this hauntingly delicious episode, we descend into the blood-soaked, Southern gothic world of the film Sinners—a vampire story laced with folklore, crossroads magic, and protective witchcraft. From Robert Johnson's legendary deal with the Devil to real-life vampire lore, we explore the shadowy edges of horror and spellcraft. We cover ancient garlic rituals, vampiric goddesses like the Empusae and Lamia, and garlic's sacred link to Hekate. Plus: folklore from Romania, real historical vampire cases, and protective charm work you can use today.

"Last week we spoke of Dockery Farms which the birthplace of The Blues. As all music does it was expanded and taken to different places by the musicians who played it. Here is a run down and description of the most popular forms of The Blues."

"Back in March of 1979 the movie The China Syndrome came out. Weeks later the Three Mile Island nuclear disaster occurred. This lead to musicians setting up MUSE and holding the NO Nukes concerts, albums and film. We have the entire story including the first time Bruce Springsteen was recorded live."

"Dockery Farms is said to be the place where the Delta Blues began. That is a bold statement but once you hear the research I have gathered it will be hard to argue. Robert Johnson did not sell his soul for great musical talent. He went to Dockery Farms which is still open today and welcoming visitors."

In this episode, we continue our conversation with Charlie Romano and Harold Hodge Jr about their new musical, Call Me From The Grave. Call Me From The Grave explores the life and myth of the legendary Blues guitar player, Robert Johnson. In Greenwood, Mississippi, a young sharecropper, Robert, dreams of becoming a Bluesman. When his loving girlfriend, Virginia, becomes pregnant, Robert puts his dreams on hold to build a life and a family with her. However, Robert's life comes crashing down when Virginia dies of complications in childbirth and their newborn son is taken into the exclusive custody of her unapproving father. Feeling he has failed as a husband, father, and a musician, Robert is at his lowest when he is approached by the Devil. Robert exchanges his soul for the music career he has always dreamt of, on the condition that he never returns home. As the years go by, Robert gains all the fame and renown that he is promised. However, after learning that the people he loves are in need back home, Robert must choose between his fame and his family. This episode features demo recordings of the songs “Some Deals Can't Be Undone” performed by Sara Speller, Julian Manresa, and the Yale College Original Cast Ensemble, and also “He Will Free You” performed by Daneille Yvonne James.

"First you need to know there are no swear words in this show. It was this week back in the 60s when the FBI released a letter stating that there were no curse words in the song Louie Louie. But people keep looking. This is a list of songs that were banned or otherwise maligned because someone was sure the singer was cursing. But there was no curse word. It is a long list."

John Corabi is a powerhouse rock vocalist and guitarist whose career has spanned more than four decades. Known for his gravelly voice, heartfelt lyrics, and gritty authenticity, Corabi has carved a unique niche in rock and metal history. He first gained attention in the late 1980s with The Scream, a hard rock band that blended bluesy swagger with heavy riffs. Their 1991 debut Let It Scream earned a cult following and showcased Corabi's range and charisma, even as the grunge movement was starting to dominate the airwaves.His biggest break came in 1994, when he was tapped to replace Vince Neil as the lead singer of Mötley Crüe. The resulting self-titled album, Mötley Crüe (1994), marked a radical departure from the band's glam metal roots. With Corabi on vocals and rhythm guitar, the album was darker, heavier, and more musically ambitious. Though it received critical praise and remains a fan favorite, it didn't achieve the commercial success Elektra Records had hoped for, and Corabi left the band in 1997 when Neil returned.Unfazed, Corabi continued to explore new musical paths. He played guitar for Ratt for several years and worked with various artists in projects that allowed him to flex his creative muscles. One notable collaboration was with Union, the band he formed with former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick. Union released two studio albums that blended classic rock with modern tones, again proving Corabi's versatility and songwriting chops.In the 2010s, Corabi joined The Dead Daisies, a revolving supergroup of rock veterans. With Corabi on vocals, the band released multiple albums, including Revolución (2015) and Burn It Down (2018), which received acclaim for their retro-hard rock sound and powerful performances. His work with the Daisies helped reintroduce him to a new generation of fans, thanks to extensive touring and a polished yet passionate delivery.Corabi is also known for his solo work, where he strips things down to an acoustic, story-driven format. His live shows often include personal anecdotes, behind-the-scenes stories from his time in Mötley Crüe and beyond, and intimate versions of songs spanning his entire career. In 2022, he released John Corabi: Horseshoes and Hand Grenades, an autobiography that pulls no punches in telling his story in his own words.John Corabi is keeping the blues alive and well in 2025, with not one but two major projects lighting up the rock world. First, he's fronting The Dead Daisies on their upcoming blues-drenched album Lookin' For Trouble, and second, he's signed a new solo record deal, marking a fresh chapter in his storied careerSet for release on May 30, 2025, Lookin' For Trouble is The Dead Daisies' first full-length blues album. Born from late-night jam sessions during the recording of their rock album Light 'Em Up, the band—featuring Corabi, Doug Aldrich, David Lowy, Michael Devin, and drummer Sarah Tomek—found themselves immersed in the soulful legacy of the blues. Recording at the iconic FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, they reimagined classics like Robert Johnson's “Crossroads,” John Lee Hooker's “Boom Boom,” and B.B. King's “The Thrill Is Gone” with their signature hard rock flairYou can follow him on social media or check out his latest news at ⁠johncorabi.com⁠.

Sinners is one of the highest rated movies in history. Starring Michael B Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld and a host of others as Black Panther director Ryan Coogler showcases the Delta blues and is clearly making parallels to Robert Johnson selling his soul at the crossroads of highway 61 and 49, in Clarksdale, Mississippi as the vampire horror film seems to bring the fantasy of the demonic realm into reality.

"This week back in 2007 Sammy Hagar sold an 80 percent stake in his Cabo Wabo tequila for $80 million. Since then it seems every musician or band has their own line of booze. Here is a good long list and where you can buy it."
