This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOMost people know Elvis Presley as the King of Rock and Roll—but what if that was only part of the story?In his book, The Occult Elvis: The Mystical and Magical Life of the King, author Miguel Conner explores a lesser-known side of Elvis—one rooted in mysticism, spiritual seeking, and esoteric exploration. Drawing from firsthand accounts, close confidants, and historical research, Conner paints a portrait of a man deeply engaged in metaphysical study and personal transformation.Was Elvis simply curious about spirituality, or was he actively practicing occult philosophies? How did these beliefs influence his life, career, and inner circle?

His songs have been covered by HUNDREDS of bands over the years, and he's rightly been nicknamed the "Father of Rock and Roll". John Lennon may have said it best, "If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry'." This week's guest, New Orleans musician Smitti Supab (Captain Buckles), brings us 'The Great Twenty-Eight' by the late, great Chuck Berry. "Hail, hail rock and roll!" Songs discussed in this episode: School Days - The Beach Boys (Live, Knebworth 1980), Iron City House Rockers, Bobby Vee, Jan and Dean, AC/DC; Cringe, Hurry Up, Bus Station Blues - Captain Buckles; Johnny Be Goode, Roll Over Beethoven - Chuck Berry; Roll Over Beethoven - The Beatles; Too Much Monkey Business - Chuck Berry; Too Much Monkey Business - The Kinks; Subterranean Homesick Blues - Bob Dylan; Havana Moon, School Days, Rock and Roll Music - Chuck Berry; Rock and Roll Music - The Beatles; Reelin' and Rockin', Sweet Little Sixteen - Chuck Berry; Surfin' U.S.A. - The Beach Boys; Beautiful Delilah - Chuck Berry; Beautiful Delilah - The Kinks; Memphis Tennessee - Chuck Berry; Memphis Tennessee - John Lennon and Chuck Berry with Yoko Ono; Nadine, Maybellene, No Particular Place To Go - Chuck Berry; Raindrops on Mardi Gras - Captain Buckles

Then the conversation shifts to the absurd state of live music: Clay rants about dropping nearly $760 for two Jason Aldean pit tickets while Ticketmaster fees alone equal the price of a third ticket. Artists no longer make real money on streams or albums, so fans are footing the bill for massive productions rolling in on 18-wheelers of gear. Kingfish and Clay swap Trans-Siberian Orchestra war stories—how the band spawned from the ‘80s prog-metal group Savatage, now runs two full touring versions like a rock-and-roll circus, blew the power at the old Jackson Coliseum years ago, and hasn't dropped new material since their main songwriter died. The shows are still epic (lasers, pyro, club-level seats at $150), but the set lists are getting stale and crowds are shrinking. Pure, unfiltered Mississippi talk radio gold.

You've heard of method actors — performers who fully immerse themselves in a role until a project is complete — but Baz Luhrmann has been called a “method director.” Spectacle is his signature. From the glittering chaos of Moulin Rouge! to the roaring parties of The Great Gatsby, Baz fills every frame with vibrant colour, music and movement. For his new documentary, EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert, he dives headfirst into the glitter once again, this time to tell the story of his longtime muse, Elvis Presley. The film shows the King of Rock and Roll not as a myth, but as a ferocious live performer full of humanity and power. Baz joins guest host Garvia Bailey to reflect on the bold, anything-goes style that's defined his career, and why he's drawn to cultural icons and big emotional swings.

Alex Edkins is a singer, song writer and guitarist for Weird Nightmare, Noble Rot and Metz. The newest Weird Nightmare album Hoopla is out May 1 via Sup Pop Records and is the quintessence of power pop punk rock and roll. Alex tells us why the new record leans into a more direct and fun approach and where his love for power pop began. We learn how his lyrics have moved to a more personal delivery and why Hoopla is in many ways a sentimental and reminiscent journey. Alex share's how his song writing and level of effort for Weird Nightmare differs from the dissonant riffage of Metz and why he sees Hoopla as an overall serendipitous experience. Joe and Alex share their love for producer Jim Eno, discuss the “twofer” nature of the Hoopla and we sample a couple new tunes.Weird NightmareSub Pop RecordsThis episode supported by our friends at Izotope.

For the entire month of March, the guys at Not A Bomb are throwing it back to their old Movie Matchup format—pitting notorious box office bombs against each other in a battle for redemption. Two flops enter… only one survives. There can only be one!Crank up the amps, listeners, because this week we're going full volume with a double feature of rock‑and‑roll misfits: Airheads and The Rocker. That's right, Troy and Brad are diving into two cult‑leaning comedies about musicians who refuse to let obscurity, bad decisions, or basic common sense get in their way.Airheads (1994)Directed by Michael Lehmann and starring Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi, Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, Michael McKean, Ernie Hudson, Judd Nelson, and Joe Mantegna, this ‘90s cult favorite asks the truly important questions: What happens when your band can't get airplay and your best plan is… taking a radio station hostage? How did one movie manage to pack in this many iconic comedic faces? And why, despite all the chaos, does it still feel painfully relatable to every band that's ever played a half-empty club while their drummer argues about artistic integrity?The Rocker (2008)Directed by Peter Cattaneo and starring Rainn Wilson, Christina Applegate, Josh Gad, Emma Stone, Teddy Geiger, Jeff Garlin, and Jane Lynch, this one brings the arena‑rock energy with a side of midlife crisis. The MatchupFrom hostage‑taking metalheads to a washed‑up drummer chasing redemption, the guys break down which film hits the right notes, which one bombs, and which earns the coveted weekly crown. It's an episode packed with laughs, nostalgia, big hair, bigger egos, and enough rock‑movie absurdity to fill a stadium.We Want to Hear From YouGot a cinematic flop you want us to tackle?

If you ever needed proof that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is less a museum and more a cultural argument with a gift shop, Episode 13 of On The Record opens by doing what the institution does best: stretching the phrase “rock and roll” until it politely accommodates everyone from Wu‑Tang Clan to Shakira, with a quick stop at INXS (or, as Michael once heard on the BBC, the new Australian sensation “Inks”). Brian runs through the 2026 nominee list like a gig guide for the afterlife—The Black Crowes, Jeff Buckley, Joy Division/New Order, Oasis, Phil Collins (solo, because apparently we're double-dipping now), Melissa Etheridge, Lauryn Hill, New Edition, Pink, Luther Vandross—and lands on the question that always makes the Hall quietly hilarious: who is this for, exactly? Michael's baffled by the ceremony mechanics (do nominees really “turn up hoping”?), while Brian reassures him it's not quite the Oscars, before casually dropping the detail that there's a public vote. Nothing says rock's rebellious spirit like “exercise our democratic right” via a link. The more interesting subtext, though, is what induction inevitably drags in: absence. Several nominees have key members who've died—Buckley, Michael Hutchence, Ian Curtis—prompting the kind of morbid logistics only a Hall of Fame can inspire. Michael wonders aloud whether New Order could be coaxed into a once-only appearance, and if so, would Peter Hook be anywhere near the bass, given the long-running fallout. Rock history, as ever, is part music, part family law. From there, the episode pivots into “telly as coping mechanism” territory.  Michael has started season two of Hijack, acknowledging (with Idris Elba's own executive-producer embarrassment) the inherent silliness of re-hijacking a man who has already been hijacked.  Brian, meanwhile, goes looking for light relief in bleak news cycles and discovers Resident Alien—a show he'd dismissed as fluff until it turns out to be fluff with enough teeth to feel like therapy. The alien-in-a-small-town premise becomes an excuse for a few sharp jokes about humanity's trajectory. But the main event is the week's shared homework: Paul McCartney: Man on the Run, the new documentary spanning the years between the Beatles' breakup and Lennon's murder.  Brian begins with dread—opening on “Silly Love Songs” is hardly a confidence-builder—but both hosts admit the film wins them over. They praise the craft: strong editing, collage-like imagery, and an effective “no talking heads (but their voices)” approach. Then they do the responsible thing and ask the awkward question: how honest can a documentary be when McCartney's own company financed it? Their answer is satisfyingly unresolved. Michael argues it's “warts-and-all enough” to avoid feeling like a total snow job—especially when the film lets other musicians (Nick Lowe, Chrissie Hynde) politely wonder what on earth Paul was thinking during the early, patchy years.  Brian agrees McCartney produced plenty of throwaway material, though he'll still go in to bat for Band on the Run and even dares to defend “Coming Up” (which Michael treats as a personal affront).  They both wish the doco lingered longer on the Lagos chapter, one of the few moments in the Wings story that feels like true risk rather than post-Beatles reputation management. The emotional spine, however, is Scotland. The documentary's portrayal of McCartney retreating to a remote farm with Linda is read here not as quaint pastoral cosplay, but as a survival strategy—grief, disorientation, and the sudden absence of the band-as-family.  The hosts talk candidly about parental loss, the Beatles as McCartney's “emotional prop,” and Lennon as the creative foil who kept Paul's “twee” instincts on a leash.  Linda comes out of it as both partner and lightning rod: necessary to him, mercilessly judged by everyone else.  Along the way, Brian remembers seeing Wings at the Myer Music Bowl in 1975 (yes, he was there), and the hosts revive Norman Gunston as the patron saint of awkward interviews—plus Michael's conspiracy theory that McCartney's infamous Japan marijuana bust may have been a deliberate exit strategy from a tour that Wings' hearts weren't in.  It's ridiculous. It's also, perversely, the kind of narrative logic rock biographies thrive on. By the end, the Hall of Fame is still a “broad church,” McCartney is still a genius with a questionable edit button, and Scotland remains the unlikely setting for both reinvention and retreat.  The biggest twist is that for two men who can't even land a sponsor, they spend 30 minutes proving the oldest rock cliché true: the past is never really over—someone's just nominated it.

Backstage at Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley, “Only in the Green Room” interviews singer-songwriter Steve Poltz, co-writer of Jewel's multi-platinum “You Were Meant for Me,” as he tours promoting his new green-vinyl album Joy Ride. Poltz discusses why he loves High Sierra Music Festival—its Grateful Dead–like anticipation, multigenerational family vibe, and resilience through hardships—and says this year's new location feels like an important inaugural moment. He shares collaborations including “Life Is Easy” with Andy Frasco (featuring Billy Strings, Mike Gordon, and Daniel Donato) and “Love a Little Bigger” with Vince Herman, praises Sweetwater's staff and sound, and explains his setlist-free, improvisational approach, pre-show prayer, and desire to help audiences forget how hard life can be. Poltz also recalls leading a Colorado audience in singalong of “Ripple” on the 30th anniversary of Jerry Garcia's death without knowing it (watch/ listen as recreates that moment during his show at Sweetwater), describes a Dead & Co Sphere moment near the rail involving rock and roll photographer, Jay Blakesberg, and talks about writing spontaneous songs and a humorous Trump–Elon breakup tune. Enjoy this engaging and entertaining conversation with the muti-talented, one-of-a-kind, Steve Poltz!  

Clay welcomes Jackson Jambalaya's Kingfish for a no-BS breakdown of the Smith Wills Stadium drama that's been simmering for years. Trey Lamar finally yanked the lease and the entire property back from the city after the current operator turned the place into a cigar bar/blunt bar (complete with weed smoke drifting over kids' baseball tournaments), sub-leased the parking lot to the VA for hundreds of thousands a year, stiffed the city on rent multiple times, and even had a camper hooked up to stadium power. The court case has been dead since April, Lynn Fitch's office is MIA, and the worn-out landfill facility's minor-league dreams are officially over—Kingfish says its glory days are gone for good.   Then the conversation shifts to the absurd state of live music: Clay rants about dropping nearly $760 for two Jason Aldean pit tickets while Ticketmaster fees alone equal the price of a third ticket. Artists no longer make real money on streams or albums, so fans are footing the bill for massive productions rolling in on 18-wheelers of gear.

Hailing from Youngstown, Ohio, the band has built a devoted following through electrifying live performances and heartfelt songwriting.At the heart of The Vindys is powerhouse vocalist and songwriter Jackie Popovec, who has earned high praise from none other than Pat Benatar, who raved, “She's amazing. That girl can sing her ass off.” She's backed by an exceptional lineup, with John Anthony delivering electrifying lead guitar, Rick Deak on rhythm guitar, Owen Davis on drums, Brendan Burke on bass, and Nathan Anthony on keys. Together, this dynamic ensemble crafts a sound that Music Connection Magazine hails as “rock and roll at its finest.”This is one you're not going to want to miss!Text us your thoughts on this episode, and who should be OUR #NextFavBand...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band".

Steve Earle is rock and roll, he is country, and Earle has deep roots in early Americana all the way back to Guy Clarke, Townes Van Zandt, and Rodney Crowell, among many. A songwriter first, I found him with his "Guitar Town" release back in 1986.  Listened to the second album, the Springsteen-esque "Exit 0", a lot, and when 1988's "Copperhead Road" album came out, we turned it up loud. With this episode, I wanted to listen to his older music and talk about artistry, rebellion, and political themes that the three-time Grammy winner has embraced through 20 albums with themes of social justice, addiction recovery, and political, anti-war views. A newly-invited member to the Grand Ole Opery (who would have ever thought that would happen back in 1987), we also listen to some of what is a whole lot of great cover songs. Let's go.

S9E10 went out live from the TSORR Studio on Myoli Beach on 5 Mar 2026 at 19h00 on Bulldogs Radio.  Tough show, the music was great, but technically it was a nightmare.  I have fixed it and spliced it together; there may be a few blank places where the mic cut out. Hang in there, it will come back.  Some days are diamonds, some days are rocks.  We wrapped up the 2nd playoff for the Diabolical Challenge.  Over the last four weeks, we've been listening to the greatest live albums ever made, and the four finalists from those four weeks went through to this episode's Diabolical Challenge.

¿Puede el rock clásico hablar de la soledad que vivimos en la era de la hiperconexión? Héctor Gerónimo, músico español con una larga trayectoria en bandas como Moebio y Monoplasma, nos presenta "Nada de Amor", el tercer sencillo de su primer disco solista, "St Gerónimo". Un track breve pero contundente que fusiona la crudeza del rock and roll clásico —con ecos de Johnny Cash, The Doors y el rock en español de los 80— con una letra que reflexiona sobre cómo la tecnología nos ha alejado de lo esencial. En esta charla, exploramos su proceso creativo orgánico, los retos de mantener vivo el rock en español en un mundo sintético, y sus próximos planes, que incluyen una gira por México. Un episodio sobre raíces, resistencia y la magia de conectar con el público.https://open.spotify.com/intl-es/track/5eRZYR13idQVzGRusKSzsohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEWrR0K5dP0https://www.instagram.com/hectorgeronimo_oficial/https://www.facebook.com/HGERONIMOhttps://twitter.com/hectorgeronimo?lang=enhttps://www.tiktok.com/@hectorgeronimo_oficial

"Louder Than You Think" Like many Gen Xers, I knew Gary Young as the drummer of Pavement, but for anyone from Stockton, he was way more than that. Let me back up. A key figure in the Stockton underground, Young played in a bunch of bands like The Fall of Christianity and he was responsible for bringing Black Flag and the Dead Kennedys to play shows in Stockton. Though almost twenty years older than the guys in Pavement, Young was their original drummer and played on their first few EPs and the seminal Slanted and Enchanted record. Young was one of the great characters of rock and roll and to get a real idea as to how charismatic, magnetic and mercurial he was, the documentary Louder Than You Think traces his life in art and music with unvarnsihed honesty and shambolic joy. The soundtrack, which features The Authorities, Edward Dahl, Pavement, Hot Spit Dancers, and Gary Young's Hospital, among others, is a wonderful tour of the Stockton Underground. Yes, Young got fired from Pavement, but what's cool about his story is that he stayed connected to the band--and that's the secret with all these Stockton kids--they stuck together even when some of them fell apart. As for Kelly Foley, the former singer of The Torn Lords had a career in Forensic Psychology and when he retired, he devoted himself soley to making art. Kelly knew Gary for decades and even had a project called Blue Boy Cometh which featured Young on drums just before his death. Foley is a lovely guy and he's kind of become the forensic archivist of the Stockton underground, making sure the paths of all the artists he knew--from Grant Lee Phillips to Crill--have their work preserved. www.independentprojectrecords.com (http://www.independentprojectrecords.com) www.bombshellradio.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) wwww.alexgreenbooks.com Stereo Embers: THREADS + BLUESKY + IG: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

In Loudwire's latest Cover Story interview, Mark Morton and Randy Blythe talk with Bryan Rolli about Lamb of God's new album, 'Into Oblivion.'

"Gina G is a national treasure, a rare kind of legend who's more than an actress and storyteller; she's a rock and roll goddess, proof that grit, glamour, and guts are still stitched into the fabric of fame. Opening up about her times with Prince and wild days in the deep Valley, for fans and friends alike, it's a ride as electric as she is." -Miley CyrusFrom a wayward California girl growing up in the heart of the porn-born San Fernando Valley, Gina Gershon found herself on a journey that has been anything but traditional. Along the way, she had to learn how to spot the toxic types-in both her personal life and her career-and figure out how to dodge, outsmart, or hustle her way through. From the Valley to the slums of Beverly Hills to New York City, she was confronted with shady characters and sketchy situations, all the while fighting to protect her autonomy as a woman and as an actress with a decidedly unconventional path. AlphaPussy is a collection of true stories that explore themes of experience, survival, and the art of figuring it out as you go. They include strange encounters with celebrities and film directors such as Paul Verhoeven, Tom Cruise, Sharon Stone, Prince, Jennifer Tilly, Sylvester Stallone, David Mamet, Bob Fosse, and so many others. Often hilarious, usually cautionary, and almost always wrapped in absurdity, Gershon's tales explore how she found herself through bad decisions, awkward moments, and cringe-worthy encounters that somehow gave rise to survival skills. Gershon stresses that while it can be important to listen to others, it's more important to listen to oneself. To trust your gut. In a world full of bullies, predators, and people trying to tell her who she was, or who she should be, it was crucial for Gershon to become an AlphaPussy: a woman who navigates through this perilous jungle of a world with personal agency and responsibility.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

On March 3, 1956, "Heartbreak Hotel" cracked Billboard's Top 10 for the first time, and Elvis Presley began reshaping the music world forever. In honor of that date, we're revisiting one of our favorite conversations — with a man who knew Elvis not as a legend, but as a friend. In this Encore Episode, Andy sits down with Country Music Legend T.G. Sheppard — a teenager who had run away from home and was literally eating out of garbage cans in Memphis when a chance encounter outside a roller rink at midnight changed the entire trajectory of his life. What followed was a 16-year friendship, seven years living at Graceland, and a front-row seat to one of the greatest careers in entertainment history. Tune in to hear how a homeless 15-year-old ended up playing football on roller skates with the King of Rock and Roll, the advice Elvis gave him that fueled 21 #1 hits, and the moment Elvis finally figured out that "that Sheppard guy on the radio" was actually his old friend Bill Browder. Plus, the most embarrassing moment of T.G.'s career — courtesy of a kid with a water pistol and a white linen suit. See T.G.

On this episode of Reading With Your Kids, we're celebrating two very different – but wonderfully complementary – books for young readers. First, Jed talks with Maria Dolores Aguila, author of the middle grade novel in verse "The Sea of Lemon Trees: The Corrido of Roberto Alvarez." Maria shares the powerful true story behind her book: the 1931 Lemon Grove incident in California, when Mexican and Mexican American children were illegally segregated into a makeshift "school" in a converted barn. Their families organized, chose Roberto Alvarez as the lead plaintiff, and won a court case that reintegrated the school – more than 20 years before Brown v. Board of Education. Maria explains how family research led her to discover her own connection to Mexican repatriation, and why so much of this history has been forgotten. She also talks about writing the story in free verse to make it accessible, especially for reluctant readers, and describes the deeply engaged reactions she sees when she visits Title I schools in San Diego and shares this local, living history with kids. Then Jed welcomes David McMullin, a former musical theater performer turned children's author, to talk about his joyful new board book "Rock and Roll, Baby." Inspired by the classic lullaby "Rock-a-Bye Baby," David reimagines it as a boisterous, musical romp, with each spread capturing a different music style—rock, country, punk, Latin, R&B—and a different moment in a baby's day. David reflects on moving from Broadway to books, dealing with hundreds of rejections, and the magic that happens when parents sing, play, and read with their little ones.

This week, I talk with Juliet Izon about her debut contemporary fiction novel The Encore. Listen now to hear about: How Izon, a longtime journalist pivoted into fiction, writing secret scenes at night, cold-DMing composers on Reddit for research, and building a debut novel from pure creative obsession Fame, artistic ambition, and complicated family dynamics, especially the mother-daughter tension between Anna and Lottie, and what happens when talent and identity collide The craft details that make this fictional music world feel real: tour bus logistics, conservatory life, perfect pitch, scoring scenes with playlists, and why the book's title changed from Arpeggio to The Encore The Encore Synopsis In 2003, at the prestigious Brookfield Conservatory in Boston, a chance encounter sparks an inimitable friendship between driven pianist and singer Anna Buckley and composer wunderkind Will Pendleton. Over the next four years, as they strive toward careers as professional musicians, their bond deepens both from shared prodigious skill and the inexplicable sense that they're kindred souls. But on the precipice of graduation, one night forever alters the trajectory of their lives, destroying their relationship in the process. Twenty years later in New York, 16-year-old piano virtuoso Lottie Thomas is grappling with the rigors of her elite prep school and the confounding disappearance of the woman who gave her up at birth. When Lottie suddenly discovers the startling truth of her identity, the revelation catalyzes a chain of events that not only reunites Lottie with her birth parents, but forces them together on a careening, cross-country rock and roll tour-bus journey. And it is there, trapped in these tight confines, that the three must finally reconcile with the irrevocable choices made a decade-and-a-half earlier.

"Gina G is a national treasure, a rare kind of legend who's more than an actress and storyteller; she's a rock and roll goddess, proof that grit, glamour, and guts are still stitched into the fabric of fame. Opening up about her times with Prince and wild days in the deep Valley, for fans and friends alike, it's a ride as electric as she is." -Miley CyrusFrom a wayward California girl growing up in the heart of the porn-born San Fernando Valley, Gina Gershon found herself on a journey that has been anything but traditional. Along the way, she had to learn how to spot the toxic types-in both her personal life and her career-and figure out how to dodge, outsmart, or hustle her way through. From the Valley to the slums of Beverly Hills to New York City, she was confronted with shady characters and sketchy situations, all the while fighting to protect her autonomy as a woman and as an actress with a decidedly unconventional path. AlphaPussy is a collection of true stories that explore themes of experience, survival, and the art of figuring it out as you go. They include strange encounters with celebrities and film directors such as Paul Verhoeven, Tom Cruise, Sharon Stone, Prince, Jennifer Tilly, Sylvester Stallone, David Mamet, Bob Fosse, and so many others. Often hilarious, usually cautionary, and almost always wrapped in absurdity, Gershon's tales explore how she found herself through bad decisions, awkward moments, and cringe-worthy encounters that somehow gave rise to survival skills. Gershon stresses that while it can be important to listen to others, it's more important to listen to oneself. To trust your gut. In a world full of bullies, predators, and people trying to tell her who she was, or who she should be, it was crucial for Gershon to become an AlphaPussy: a woman who navigates through this perilous jungle of a world with personal agency and responsibility.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

In this episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I sit down with Susan Holmes McKagan for a conversation about reinvention, courage, and playing the long game.After a successful career as a 90s supermodel, Susan pivoted in her late 40s and enrolled in Harvard Graduate School to deepen and refine her craft as a writer. She shares what inspired that decision, what it felt like to be older than many of her classmates, and how the academic rigor sharpened her writing and strengthened her discipline.We also talk about her nearly 27-year marriage to Duff McKagan of Guns N Roses. How they met on a blind date, what keeps their relationship strong, and what it was really like raising two daughters while navigating life on tour. Susan offers an honest look at the pros and challenges of being married in the rock and roll world and why longevity in love, just like career, requires intention and growth.In this episode, we discuss:Why Susan chose to go to Harvard Graduate School in her 40s after a successful modeling careerWhat it felt like to be the outlier in the classroomHow her writing sharpened and evolved after graduate schoolHow she met Duff McKagan and built a lasting marriage in rock and rollWhat tour life was like while raising a familyThe importance of taking leaps of faith at any ageWhy following your passion matters more than playing it safeHow benefiting from the long game leads to lasting successFor more on Susan Holmes McKagan, follow her on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susanholmesmckagan/?hl=en Twitter/X: https://x.com/SuHolmesMcKagan Susan's book, The Velvet Rose: https://a.co/d/0cZfZwW8 Three Chords & The Truth: https://duffmckagan.com/radio-show/ Thanks to my Sponsors:Ritual: Save 25% on your first month at Ritual.com/OVER50 Hers: If you want clearer insight into your health, go to https://ForHers.com and schedule your labsAudible: Go to Audible.com/BigAgeSeries to start listening todayHoneylove: Save 20% off Honeylove at Honeylove.com/OVER50 Manukora: Head to Manukora.com/FLOURISHING to save up to 31% plus $25 worth of free giftsBloom Nutrition: Go to bloomnu.com and use code OVER50 for 20% off your first order.

In this episode of Prisoners of Rock and Roll, we're diving into 1976 – that wild year where America turned 200 with fireworks, flags, and music exploding everywhere. It is also the year where Ryan and I were born.  And the music world celebrated us joining the party by releasing Hotel California from the Eagles, Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life, and Boston's Debut Album. David Bowie was The Thin White Duke. Disco was taking over the dance floors, while the Sex Pistols, Ramones, and The Clash were just getting started underground.

Otis Blackwell helped write the sound of modern America. He wrote "Don't Be Cruel." He wrote "All Shook Up." He wrote "Fever." His songs helped launch Elvis Presley's rise at the exact moment rock and roll went global — yet his name remains largely unknown. In this episode of Black Is America, we examine the life, craft, and legacy of Otis Blackwell — the Brooklyn-born songwriter whose structure, hooks, and emotional clarity helped define 1950s youth culture and reshape American popular music. From the Apollo Theater to international charts… from behind-the-scenes publishing deals to Rock & Roll Hall of Fame recognition… this is the story of the architect behind the anthem. Otis Blackwell wasn't just a songwriter. He was foundational.

It's Thursday, February 26th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Russian-Ukrainian war in its fifth year The war between Russia and Ukraine entered its fifth year this week. International Christian Concern reports religious communities in the Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine continue to face harassment and violence. Protestant churches are especially targeted with intimidation, raids, and closures. The European Evangelical Alliance is calling on Christians to pray for their brothers and sisters caught in the conflict. The organization noted, “Churches continue to serve courageously. Acts of compassion and solidarity are widespread. Stories of protection, provision, and spiritual awakening remind believers that God remains present and active even in the darkest times.” Romans 8:28 reminds us, “We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” 1.8 million casualties in Russian-Ukrainian war After four years of fighting, Russia and Ukraine have experienced an estimated 1.8 million casualties. That includes people killed, wounded, and missing.  U.S. President Donald Trump continues to broker peace talks between the two countries even as the war drags on.  Ukrainian representatives plan to meet with U.S. envoys in Geneva, Switzerland today. This is ahead of a potential trilateral meeting between the U.S., Russia, and Ukraine next week.  U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently wrote on X, “President Trump wants a solution that ends the bloodshed once and for all.” European Commission fines X $140 million Speaking of X, the company is challenging a $140 million fine imposed by the European Commission.  The commission is using the European Union's Digital Services Act to impose censorship on American tech companies. Jeremy Tedesco with Alliance Defending Freedom stated, “The platforms the Digital Services Act targets … are the modern public square. They are where Americans debate politics, share their faith, and hold the powerful accountable. … The EU Commission is targeting X for a simple reason: X is committed to free speech, and the Commission demands censorship.” El Mencho's Mexican cartel extorted and harassed pastors As The Worldview reported on Tuesday, Mexico's military forces killed the drug cartel leader, Nemesio Cervantes,  known as “El Mencho” on Sunday. He was the most wanted person in Mexico and one of the most wanted people in the United States.  The cartel he led was known for terrorizing not only businesses but also church leaders in Mexico. Pastors faced intimidation, extortion, harassment, and threats at the hands of the cartel.  Trump affirmed “one nation under God” In the United States, President Donald Trump delivered his 2026 State of the Union Address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday.  The speech lasted for an hour and 48 minutes, the longest State of the Union Address in modern tracking.  At one point, he asked a question. TRUMP: “One of the great things about the State of the Union is how it gives Americans the chance to see clearly what their representatives really believe. So tonight, I'm inviting every legislator to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle. “If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support. ‘The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.'” (Republicans applauded) Not surprisingly, all the Republicans stood and all the Democrats remained seated, revealing the stark contrast between the two major parties. Throughout his speech, the president mentioned the upcoming 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. He acknowledged the hand of Providence in our country's destiny and celebrated recent renewal in religious interest among young people. Listen. TRUMP: “I'm very proud to say that during my time in office, both the first four years, and in particular this last year, there has been a tremendous renewal in religion, faith, Christianity and belief in God. “This is especially true among young people, and a big part of that had to do with my great friend, Charlie Kirk, a great guy, a great man.” (You can watch the State of the Union here.) Singer Johnny Cash remembered for faith in Christ And finally, today marks the birthday of Johnny Cash. The iconic American singer was born on February 26, 1932.  He rose to fame in the music scene in the 1950s before coming to Christ later in the 1970s. He became known as the “Man in Black” for his all-black stage suits.  After his conversion, Cash would use his music to share the Gospel, often performing at Billy Graham Crusades.  Cash remains one the best-selling music artists of all time. He was inducted into the Country Music, Rock and Roll, and Gospel Music Halls of Fame.  One of his last recorded songs was called “I Came to Believe.” Listen to the chorus. “I came to believe in a Power much higher than I. I came to believe that I needed help to get by. In childlike faith, I gave in and gave Him a try. And I came to believe in a Power much higher than I.” Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” Pick up a copy of Greg Laurie's biography entitled, Johnny Cash: The Redemption of an American Icon.  And watch the Christian movie by the same name.  Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, February 26th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.
