Hablar del Cielo es para la mayoría, una forma de escapismo o mera especulación. En la Biblia, el cielo es la atmósfera, donde están las aves y las nubes, o el firmamento de planetas y estrellas, pero también al lugar al que se refiere Jesús en el capítulo 14 de la Buena Noticia según Juan: allí donde Dios está. Nuestra sintonía de "Ruta 66" está, esta vez. a cargo de una cantante y bailarina afroamericana ya fallecida, Othella Dallas (1925-2020), que fue del sur de Estados Unidos a Basilea en Suiza, donde murió y fundó una escuela de danza. Robert Smith escribió en el sur de Francia para su grupo, The Cure, la canción "Tal y como en el Cielo" (Just Like Heaven) en 1987. Habla de un viaje a la costa con la que será luego su esposa. Expresa como estar en el Cielo es unirte a la persona que amas. El argentino Kevin Johansen nació en Alaska cuando su padre huía del Vietnam con una mujer argentina. Tras su separación, Kevin vive con su madre entre Buenos Aires y Montevideo, hasta casarse con una bailarina argentina e irse a vivir a Nueva York. Allí el escocés David Byrne hizo en 1979 para su grupo Talking Heads, la canción que Johansen canta en castellano en 2022, "El Cielo". Ese mismo título tiene la canción que grabó en 1984, el grupo inglés The Psychedelic Furs (Heaven). Hay pocas películas que se atrevan a imaginar la vida después de la muerte. Una de las más curiosas es la del cómico judío Albert Brooks, que llamamos en España, "El Cielo... próximamente" y en Hispanoamérica; "Visa al Paraíso", pero su verdadero título es "Defendiendo tu vida". La hizo en 1991 con él como un publicista de Los Ángeles que muere en un accidente de coche, el día de su cumpleaños y va a la Ciudad del Juicio, donde encuentra a Meryl Streep. Escuchamos varias escenas de la versión doblada al castellano con los comentarios de José de Segovia sobre la banda sonora original de Michael Gore. La canción "Llamando a las Puertas del Cielo" (Knockin´On Heaven´s Door) es una de las más populares del actual Premio Nobel de Literatura, Bob Dylan. La escribió para el western de Sam Peckinpah, Pat Garrett y Billy The Kid en 1973. La han cantado muchos después, pero pocas versiones están tan logradas como la que hizo el propio Dylan hace medio siglo en el teatro de la plaza de la universidad de Harvard en la Rolling Thunder Revue con el violín de Scarlet Rivera y la guitarra de T-Bone Burnett. El auténtico góspel, la música de la iglesia afroamericana, aparece de forma renovada en las canciones del pastor de Los Ängeles, Deitrick Haddon, que en su visión del Cielo (Well Done 2011), recuerda a la música de Prince con la claridad del Evangelio.
Aunque la piscología lleva tiempo intentando que nos libremos del sentimiento de culpa, seguimos escuchando la voz de la conciencia que nos dice que no somos cómo debieramos ser. Nuestro temor más profundo es que un día se haga evidente la realidad de todo aquello que logramos ocultar con nuestras palabras y disimulos. Jesús anuncia al final del capítulo 12 del Evangelio según Juan que ha llegado la Luz que pondrá en evidencia todo lo que está en tinieblas (vv. 44-50). Tras la sintonía de nuevo a cargo de Depeche Mode, el grupo británico que José de Segovia conoció cuando dos de sus miembros iban a un festival cristiano a principios de los años 80. Esta vez escuchamos su versión de Ruta 66 en vivo en Pasadena (California) en 1988. Otro de los grupos que unía los sintetizadores a las melodías pop en aquella época desde la fe cristiana era Vector. Formada en Sacramento (California) escuchamos la canción de su primer albúm, "La virtud del maniquí" (Mannequin Virtue 1983) que nos habla de la necesidad de esa Luz (All Around The Word). A ese momento de revelación se refiere también el granadino José Ignació Lapido, que después de 091 sigue escribiendo canciones tan sugerentes como ésta de su último álbum (Curado de espanto). José Moreno Berrocal habla de cómo el escritor checo Franz Kafka (1883-1924) "nos enseña la realidad de ser humano, que arrojado a la existencia en un mundo que no asimila, carece de rumbo". De Segovia habla a raíz de los comentarios de su amigo Moreno Berrocal, por el centenario de este escritor judío, sobre su libro "El Proceso", publicado de modo postumo en 1925 por su amigo Max Brod. Escuchamos escenas de la película de Orson Welles en 1962, después de la canción del grupo británico The Cure inspirada en su obra (At Night 1980). La música instrumental de fondo es de la película "Kafka" (1991) por Cliff Martínez y "El inquilino" (1976) de Polanski por Philippe Sarde. La canción de "blues" del Ciego Willie Johnson, "No es culpa de ningún otro, sino mía" (It´s Nobody´s Fault But Mine) en 1927 fue llevada al "rock" por el grupo Led Zeppelin. La grabaron varias veces. La escuchamos en la reciente versión que volvieron a hacer juntos, Jimmy Page y Robert Plant. No es tarde para el arrepentimiento. Vivimos todavía un tiempo de gracia. El guitarrista de Bob Dylan en la Rolling Thunder Revue, T-Bone Burnett, tiene toda una carrera en solitario y como productor, que une su fe cristiama a la música americana con raíces. El nieto del pator, secretario de la Convención Bautista del Sur, criado en la iglesia episcopal, nos dice que "No es demasiado tarde" (It´s Not Too Late) en el álbum en que confiesa ser "El criminal bajo su propio sombrero" (The Criminal Under My Own Hat 1992).

Si hay algo que persiguen todas las ideologías e individuos, es la libertad, pero ¿cómo poder alcanzarla? Mucha supuesta libertad nos lleva a una mayor esclavitud. Jesús dice en el octavo capítulo de la Buena Noticia según Juan que es la Verdad, que es Él mismo, la única que puede liberarnos. La "Metadona" es usada como sustituto de la heroína, para intentar librarse de la adicción a la droga. El grupo Pistones hizo un tema con este título, que se se convirtió en todo un himno en la Movida madrileña de los años 80, cuando muchos se vieron cautivos de la esclavitud que estaba acabando con toda una generación. "No sé cómo voy a escapar", dice la canción. Sobre "La Verdad" (The Truth) que nos libera, que es Cristo Jesús, hizo Donald Hooker una composición en 1972 (Forge Your Own Chains), al dejar la droga al encontrar la fe en plena era psicodélica, cuando muchos hippies llegan al cristianismo en la Revolución por Jesús. La grabó con músicos de estudio en un disco que publicó él mismo y ahora tiene cifras astronómicas. Aunque no seamos adictos a alguna sustancia, Jesús nos dice que somos esclavos de lo que la Biblia llama el pecado. El escocés Kenny Anderson no es conocido por su fe cristiana, pero ha grabado en 2023 una canción que incluye la voz del predicador Phil Crowter, cuyos sermones circulaban en cassettes desde Londres a finales del siglo pasado. "Es el pecado el que nos tiene atrapados", reconoce King Creosote (It´s Sin That Got Its Hold Upon Us). Los periodistas que forman el equipo de investigación del periódico que sacó a la luz en el 2002, las asombrosas cifras de abuso infantil que había en la archidiócesis católica de Boston, un millar de niños por nada menos que 249 curas, fue llevada al cine en una modesta producción independiente de Tom McCarthy, que ganó el Oscar a la mejor película de 2015. Escuchamos diálogos de la versión doblada del film con los comentarios de José de Segovia sobre la música de la banda sonora original de Howard Shore. El grupo D. C. Talk, formado en la universidad conservadora evangélica de Liberty a finales de los 80, se hizo famoso por una combinación de rap y rock, muy popular en circulos cristianos en los años 90. Su canción sobre "La Verdad" (The Truth) apareció en su álbum "Sobrenatural" (Supernatural) de 1998. Más intererante nos parece el sonido de los 77, la banda de Mike Roe formada en Sacramento, que grabó las sugerentes letras del poeta británico Steve Scott en el disco que produjo en 1982, "Ping Pong sobre el abismo", uno de los músicos que acompañaba a Bob Dylan en la Rolling Thunder Revue y llegó a la fe con él a finales de los 70. "Bla bla bla" (Ba Ba Ba) habla de las palabras vacías con las que a menudo escondemos nuestra esclavitud. Van Morrison vio como la Luz brillaba en su vida de "Los ojos del Maestro" (The Master´s Eyes) al volver en 1985 a la fe que conoció en la Asamblea de Hermanos donde le enseñaron la Biblia de niño al este de Belfast.
Johnny Cash had a long-time affinity for the work of — and for his friendship with — Bob Dylan.In his book Cash: The Autobiography, Johnny wrote of being on the road in the early ‘60s. “I had a portable record player that I'd take along on the road, and I'd put on Freewheelin' Bob Dylan backstage, then go out and do my show, then listen again as soon as I came off.“After a while at that, I wrote Bob a letter telling him how much of a fan I was,” he said. “He wrote back almost immediately, saying he'd been following my music since I Walk the Line, and so we began a correspondence.” The two finally met in person during the 1964 Newport Folk Festival. They remained close friends for the remaining 40 years of John's life. When his friend died in 2003, Dylan wrote, “In plain terms, Johnny was — and is — the North Star; you could guide your ship by him, the greatest of the greats, then and now.”“Truly he is what the land and country is all about,” continued Dylan, “the heart and soul of it personified and what it means to be here; and he said it all in plain English. I think we can have recollections of him, but we can't define him, any more than we can define a fountain of truth, light and beauty.”Despite their mutual admiration, Dylan and Cash collaborated only one time. That was on Dylan's landmark 1969 recording of the Nashville Skyline album, produced by Bob Johnston.Johnston also had produced Cash's At Folsom Prison the year earlier, and he hoped he could get the two artists to record an entire album together. To that end, Cash and Dylan recorded 15 songs together at the Nashville sessions, but ended up keeping only one of those tracks, “Girl from the North Country.”About This SongAmong those 15 tracks was one of Cash's all-time favorite Dylan compositions, the wistful “One Too Many Mornings,” which Bob wrote for his third studio album, The Times They Are a-Changin'.As noted here recently, the song was famously among a series of tunes Dylan wrote after his breakup with his lover Suze Rotolo. After its album release in 1964, the song sometimes pops up on Dylan's set lists, notably during his 1966 world tour and then, 10 years later, in his second Rolling Thunder Revue tour.But Johnny Cash embraced the song even more, covering it numerous times, including on the album Johnny & June in 1978.He recorded it again in 1986 as a duet with Waylon Jennings for their Heroes album. In 2012, a remix combining Cash's original vocals with new recordings by the Avett Brothers was included on the benefit album Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International.Meanwhile, Johnny and Waylon's vocals on that original Heroes rendition later were augmented by Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson when the four of them created the supergroup The Highwaymen in the 1990s.Our Take on the TuneCharlie Bowen started doing this song back in college to have something to sing and play to the jam sessions in the dorms. It then was one of the songs Charlie brought along in that summer and fall of 1974 when Dave Peyton, Roger Samples and he started The Flood. And this lonely, lovely Dylan tune is still welcome at Flood gatherings, as you can heard on this track from last week's rehearsal.Want More Bob?By the way, if you'd like a little more Dylan in your diet, The Flood has an entire Bob-centric playlist set in up the free Radio Floodango music streaming service.

Music's most famous breakup in the late 20th century was surely the failed love affair of youngsters Suze Rotolo and Bob Dylan. Or at least it was the most productive parting on record.Following their split, 20-year-old Dylan wrote some his most plaintive songs of the era. “Don't Think Twice, It's All Right” and “Boots of Spanish Leather,” “Tomorrow is a Long Time” and “One Too Many Mornings, “Ballad in Plain D” and more were all clearly about Suze.One of the lesser known of Bob's breakup ballads from the same period was “Mama, You Been on My Mind.” EuropeIn mid-May 1964, Dylan completed a concert tour of England, afterward vacationing in France, Germany and Greece. During his ramble abroad, he wrote several songs for his upcoming album, Another Side of Bob Dylan.Then back in the States, he went into Columbia's Studio A and in a single night (June 9, 1964) he recorded 14 new songs, including one take of "Mama, You Been on My Mind.” When the album was released two months later, though, the song was not included. However, a few years later, “Mama, You Been on My Mind” became one of the earliest outtakes widely circulated on bootleg albums. The boots documented the two drafts of "Mama, You Been on My Mind" that Dylan wrote on notepaper from the May Fair Hotel where he had stayed in London during the tour.Dylan biographer Howard Sounes called it "one of the finest love songs he ever wrote.” Saying Dylan took responsibility for making a mess of his relationship with Rotolo, Sounes said the song showed Bob “could express himself with delicacy and maturity.”PerformancesIn concerts over the years, Dylan has performed the song hundreds of times, most notably in duets with his erstwhile post-Suze squeeze, Joan Baez. Their first duet was at Baez's concert at Forest Hills tennis stadium in Queens, NY, on Aug. 8, 1964. It was repeated a couple of months later, on Oct. 31, during Dylan's show at New York City's Philharmonic Hall. The two reprised their performance a decade later during Bob's 1975-76 Rolling Thunder Revue tour.Baez put a solo version — as “Daddy, You Been on My Mind” — on her 1965 Farewell, Angelina album.Meanwhile, the song has had some superstar coverage over the years, by the likes of Judy Collins and by Johnny Cash, by Rick Nelson and by George Harrison, by Linda Ronstadt and by Rod Stewart, and by everyone from The Kingston Trio to Dion and The Belmonts.Our Take on the TuneFlood founders Dave Peyton, Roger Samples and Charlie Bowen all started listening to the music of Bob Dylan 60 years ago, so it is little wonder that his songs are deeply woven in the band's fabric. Still today, whenever The Flood gets feeling folkie — as the guys were at this rehearsal a week or so ago — it's likely a Dylan tune will be the first to come to mind.Do More Dylan?Evidence of the band's delight in doing Dylan is the fact that one of the first special playlists created for the free Radio Floodango music streaming service a few years ago was this one done to celebrate Bobby's birthday.

En el corazón del cristianismo hay una gran simplicidad. Nos presenta quiénes somos y quién es Dios en Cristo Jesús, ya que no descubrimos cómo es Dios, sin ver la realidad de nuestro pecado. Sólo le podemos "adorar en espíritu y verdad" (Juan 4:24) cuando "nacemos de nuevo" (3;7) y comprendemos la necesidad de la muerte de Cristo (3:14). En esta parada en nuestro viaje por la vida a la luz del Buen Libro, la sintonía de Ruta 66, esta vez está a cargo de un grupo de Minneapolis en los 80, The Replacements. Muchos confunden la fe cristiana con otro tipo espiritualidad. Ese es "Un tipo diferente de luz" (A Different Kind of Light), dice el poeta inglés Steve Scott en la canción que abre el álbum de presentación del grupo de Mike Roe en Sacramento, los 77´s en 1982. Fue producido por uno de los músicos de la banda de Dylan que llegó a la fe evangélica, Steven Soles. Junto con los otros dos músicos que se hicieron cristianos cuando acompañaron al Premio Nobel de Literatura en la gira de la Rolling Thunder Revue, David Mansfield y T-Bone Burnett, formaron la Banda Alpha. Escuchamos su canción de "Desconcierto" (Mystified) en 1977 sobre la confusa Nueva Era de espiritualidad que entonces comienza. El cristianismo no está libre de esa falsa religiosidad. La película de Berlanga, "Los jueves milagro" fue destrozada por la censura en 1956, pero en la primera mitad todavía se reconoce el cuadro demoledor que hace de esa milagrería que confunde la fe con el negocio. Escuchamos diálogos de esa parte con los comentarios de José de Segovia sobre el fondo de la banda sonora original de la película "Camino" de Javier Fesser en 2008, sobre la enfermedad y la muerte de una niña en el entorno del Opus Dei, al que pertenecía también el productor del film de Berlanga, que acaba escribiendo un sacerdote de la censura, la segunda parte. El cantautor canadiense Bruce Cockburn llegó a la fe cristiana a principios de los 70. Aunque no ha asistido regularmente a la iglesia durante más de cuarenta años, ha vuelto ahora a adorar en una comunidad evangélica, donde expresa lo que ocurre "Cuando el Espíritu entra en la habitación" (When The Spirit Walks In The Room, 2023). Tres de los miembros de la banda irlandesa U2 llegaron también a una comunidad cristiana a finales de esa década. El tema que abría su segundo álbum en 1981, "Gloria", es una de los mayores cánticos de alabanza cristiana contemporánea que hay en la música popular. Ese mismo año 81, el ahora fallecido Norman Barratt publica un disco con el grupo que lleva su nombre, tras su conversión a la fe evangélica, después de formar la banda de "rock progresivo" Gravy Train a finales de los 60 y acompañar al músico cristiano Alwyn Wall, al convertirse a Cristo. Para Él, Dios es "El Único" (The Only One) en Cristo Jesús. Por Él da la "Gloria a Dios" también en 1986, Matthew Ward, el músico pionero de la Revolución por Jesús en el Segundo Capítulo de Hechos (2nd Chapter of Acts), cuando tantos "hippies" llegaron a la fe cristiana en California.
Las continuas preguntas del ser humano sobre de dónde venimos y por qué tenemos que morir, buscan su respuesta más allá de las estrellas. La ciencia-ficción en el cine desde el "2001" de Kubrick en 1968 ha adquirido un sentido cada vez más teológico y metafísico. Así Ridley Scott se preguntaba en 1979 en "Alíen" si "en el espacio nadie puede oír tus gritos" y en 1982 en "Blade Runner" si el Creador puede darnos inmortalidad. De esto trata también el prólogo del Evangelio según Juan en su primer capítulo. Antes de analizar la película, escuchamos la canción del antiguo monaguillo inglés que quiso ser cura, Sting, sobre el "Amor sagrado" (Sacred Love 2003). La pregunta de si Dios está ahí te lleva inevitablemente a la cuestión de si es un Dios personal, porque sólo así puede amarnos. No sería la Fuerza o la Energía. lo que daría sentido al universo, sino un Amor Eterno, que merece toda nuestra admiración. El líder de The Police lo contrasta con la tragedia del 11-S y el amor que siente todavía por su mujer, Trudie, pero también lo que aprendió en el colegio católico de Newcastle. El compositor de "Jesucristo Superstar" y "Evita", Andrew Lloyd Webber escribió un "Requiem" en 1985 para su padre, un organista de iglesia que hizo música sacra, cuando lee en el New York Times sobre un un niño camboyano capturado por los Jemeres Rojos, que le dan la opción de matarse él, o a su hermana mutilada. El horror le inspira el "Pie Jesu" que canta Sarah Brightman, su esposa entonces. La oímos esta vez en una versión en vivo en 2008 en Viena. Este "Misericordioso Jesús" viene del lenguaje de los tradicionales "Agnus Dei" (El Cordero de Dios), el mensaje de Juan el Bautista al principio del Evangelio, sobre el único que puede quitar el pecado del mundo. Escuchamos algunos diálogos de la versión doblada de "Blade Runner" con los comentarios de José de Segovia sobre la música de Vangelis. Después oímos una canción del poeta y cantautor inglés Steve Scott sobre la Encarnación, "Flesh & Blood" en 1983, producido por Steven Soles, uno de los músicos de Dylan en "Desire" y la Rolling Thunder Revue, convertido al cristianismo en esos años. Para acabar con la exuberante declaración del propio Nobel de Literatura de que había sido "Salvado" (Saved) en una grabación en vivo en Santa Mónica en 1979, antes de que apareciera el disco del mismo título. Tras una larga introducción que traducimos, Dylan confiesa que sólo hay salvación por la sangre del Cordero.
Kinky Friedman, the singer, songwriter, humorist and sometime politician who with his band, the Texas Jewboys, developed an ardent following among alt-country music fans with songs like “They Ain't Makin' Jews Like Jesus Anymore” — and whose biting cultural commentary earned him comparisons with Will Rogers and Mark Twain — died on Thursday at his ranch near Austin, Texas. He was 79.The writer Larry Sloman, a close friend, said the cause was complications of Parkinson's disease.Mr. Friedman occupied a singular spot on the fringes of American popular culture, alongside acts like Jello Biafra, the Dead Milkmen and Mojo Nixon. He leered back at the mainstream with songs that blended vaudeville, outlaw country and hokum, a bawdy style of novelty music typified by tracks like “Asshole From El Paso” and “We Reserve the Right to Refuse Service to You.”He toured widely in the 1970s, with his band and solo, including on the second leg of Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue in 1976. He performed on “Saturday Night Live” and at the Grand Ole Opry — Mr. Friedman claimed to be the first Jewish musician to do so (though in fact others, including the fiddler Gene Lowinger, had beat him to it).Another performance, recorded for the TV show “Austin City Limits,” was reported to be so profane that it has never been aired.In the 1980s, after the band broke up, Mr. Friedman turned to writing detective novels, using the same casual irreverence that he brought to the stage in books like “Kill Two Birds and Get Stoned” (2001) and “God Bless John Wayne” (1995)Yet there was a surprising earnestness behind his weirdness. Mr. Friedman founded a ranch for rescue animals. He and his sister, Marcie, ran Echo Hill Camp, which they inherited from their parents and which they offered, free of charge, to children of parents killed while serving in the U.S. military.He spent an increasing amount of time on his ranch. The Echo Hill camp closed in 2013, but three years ago, he and his sister revived it, this time with a focus on helping the children of fallen service members as well as the children of refugee families from Afghanistan.“There was a volunteer who fixed a water heater who I went over to thank,” he told Texas Highways magazine in 2023. “He said, ‘You're welcome. I'm doing it for Jesus.' I told him, ‘I'm doing it for Moses.'”Clay RisenNew York Times
"A Day on the Green: Celebrating 35 Years Since the Legendary Concert"Larry Mishkin highlights a significant Grateful Dead concert from May 27, 1989, at Oakland Alameda County Stadium, part of an AIDS benefit organized by Bill Graham. The event featured artists like Tracy Chapman, John Fogerty, Los Lobos, Joe Satriani, and the Grateful Dead. Larry delves into Fogerty's set, backed by Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir, sharing insights and historical context. He also touches on the canceled Neil Young concert due to illness, expressing disappointment and hope for rescheduling. The episode mixes personal anecdotes, music history, and current events in the music world. Grateful DeadMay 27, 1989Oakland Alameda County StadiumOakland, CAGrateful Dead Live at Oakland-Alameda County Stadium on 1989-05-27 : Free Borrow & Streaming : Internet ArchiveA Day On The Green: Aids Benefit Concert:Tracy Chapman an American singer-songwriter, widely known for her hit singles "Fast Car" from her debut album “Tracy Chapman” (1988) and "Give Me One Reason" from her fourth album which on that day was still a few years awat, “New Beginning” (1995). Fast Car has enjoyed a resurgence thanks to Country star, Luke Combs, who's cover version went platinum in 2023 and by September that year was a No 1 country hit making Chapman the first black woman with a sole songwriting credit at No. 1 on the Country charts.John Fogerty Of Credence Clearwater Revival fameLos LobosJoe Satriani an American rock guitarist, composer, and songwriter. Early in his career he worked as a guitar instructor, with many of his former students achieving fame, including Steve Vai, Larry LaLonde, Rick Hunolt, Kirk Hammett, Andy Timmons, Charlie Hunter, Kevin Cadogan, and Alex Skolnick. Satriani went on to have a successful solo music career, starting in the mid-1980s. He is a 15-time Grammy Award nominee and has sold over ten million albums, making him the bestselling instrumental rock guitarist of all time.[3]In 1988, Satriani was recruited by Mick Jagger as lead guitarist for his first solo tour.[4] Satriani briefly toured with Deep Purple, joining shortly after another departure of Ritchie Blackmore from the band in November 1993.[5] He has worked with a range of guitarists during the G3 tour, which he founded in 1995.Tower of Power, and, last but not least Dead INTRO: Althea Track #3 4:51 – 6:21 From the Go To Heaven album (April, 1980), Garcia and Hunter masterpiece. Always a Jerry favorite and loved by Deadheads everywhere, this was the third song of the show following the Touch of Grey opener (of course) and Greatest Story. Great guitar work, lovely vocals, this song really launches the show and gets everyone in the groove. Played 273 timesFirst: August 4, 1979 at Oakland Civic Auditorium, Oakland, CA, USALast: July 8, 1995 at Soldier Field, Chicago The weather for the Day On The Green concert was perfect. Bill Graham, apparently, had an exclusive arrangement with some greater power, so that it never, ever rained when he was having a major outdoor show, and his deal remained in place for the May '89 AIDS Benefit. Another oddity about the AIDS Benefit was that there were no less than five opening acts for the Grateful Dead, which I think was some kind of record for a Bay Area Grateful Dead show. To see that whole event would mean at least 12 hours in the sun, just to wipe yourself out for what we all really wanted to see at the very end. It seems shocking today that a Benefit concert for a terrible disease would be seen as a progressive political act, but such was the Reagan 80s. At least in San Francisco, efforts to prevent AIDS and provide care for those suffering from it had finally expanded beyond the gay community into the general culture. Nonetheless it was still significant when major rock bands headlined a large benefit concert in the Bay Area's biggest venue. Concern for AIDS had finally reached parity with Amnesty International and the Rain Forest, which was a welcome thing. The Coliseum benefit was the largest of several events around the Bay Area, all organized by Bill Graham Presents, and meant to raise awareness as well as money. Originally the Oakland show was supposed to have joint headliners, with both the Grateful Dead and Huey Lewis and The News. A few weeks before the show, however, Huey Lewis had to drop out of the show. Rather sheepishly, his management publicly conceded that the stadium show was cutting into ticket sales for Lewis around Northern California, and they couldn't afford to work for what was effectively nothing. The Dead, of course, had no such concerns. At a press conference, Jerry Garcia graciously said that Huey had to listen to his management, it was part of the business. Huey Lewis And The News were the biggest act in the Bay Area at the time with respect to record sales, and yet the Dead outdrew them by several multiples. The Dead were no longer an aging hippie band who hadn't broken up--they were the biggest draw in town. By 1989, the Dead were huger than ever, thanks to "Touch Of Grey" – which the Dead opened with - and the Coliseum show was an opportunity for a lot of people who had always wanted to see the Dead but hadn't been been able to get tickets. Frost and Shoreline shows sold out pretty rapidly, so regular rock fans who wanted to see the Dead were out of luck. Thus the crowd was very Dead-positive, with plenty of Deadheads, but far less like the insular club of Deadhead veterans that were characteristic of Bay Area shows at the time. There were many fascinating aspects to this event, but in retrospect the most fascinating was that former Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman John Fogerty was second on the bill, and it was known before the show that Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir would be part of his backing group. Creedence had been hugely, titanically popular, but Fogerty had been in a bitter dispute with his record company since the mid-70s, and as a result had refused to play any of his great Creedence songs in concert. By 1989, however, although Fogerty's ire towards Fantasy Records had not subsided, for various reasons he had come to terms with his old songs, so it was widely known that not only would Garcia and Weir be backing Fogerty, but that they would be playing Creedence classics as well. Everything pointed towards an event of historic proportions. There is a You Tube video of the entire Fogerty set that I encourage you to view. Fogerty had a unique status in the Bay Area at the time, and everyone was reminded of that when word was unofficially "leaked", I believe through Joel Selvin's Chronicle column, that not only would Garcia and Weir back Fogerty, but that Fogerty would be playing old Creedence songs. John Fogerty hit the stage in the late afternoon, last up before the Grateful Dead. His band, previously announced, wasJohn Fogerty-lead guitar, vocalsJerry Garcia-guitarBob Weir-guitarRandy Jackson-bassSteve Jordan-drumsJackson and Jordan were well-known and well regarded as session players. Randy Jackson was a working member of Santana's band at the time, among many other gigs. Today, of course, Jackson is best known as a judge for the TV show American Idol, but that was far in his future. Jordan had played the Bay Area recently, on the 1988 tour with Keith Richards, whose album he had co-produced. Fogerty played 11 songs in about 45 minutes. Born On The BayouGreen RiverDown On The CornerRock And Roll GirlCenterfieldProud MaryMidnight SpecialBad Moon RisingFortunate Sonencores with Clarence Clemons-tenor saxophoneSuzie QLong Tall Sally The question many would most like to have answered about this show is "who rehearsed?" From watching the video, it is clear that John Fogerty had run through the songs with Randy Jackson and Steve Jordan. Now, Creedence songs are delightfully basic, as well as famous worldwide, so pros like Jackson and Jordan hardly needed many takes. On every song, however, Jackson and Jordan both provide a funky bottom and plenty of accent. They knew the tunes, and they knew how to make them swing, so I think they had worked on them with Fogerty. Jerry Garcia, however, was notorious for never wanting to rehearse. Weir is far less notorious for avoiding rehearsals, though it is also known that he is famously not on time, so it may amount to something similar. Since John Fogerty wasn't particularly close to any members of the Dead, it's clear that Bill Graham was the one who got Garcia and Weir to accompany Fogerty, and in so doing make it "an event," in classic Graham style. Could Graham have persuaded Garcia to rehearse? The alternative is strange, namely playing a show in front of 40,000 people with at least two band members completely flying blind. On the day of the show the story is that Garcia and Weir had a dressing room run-through with Fogerty and the rhythm section, agreeing on the tempos and the intros. Sandy Rothman has described how the Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band did not really practice songs, they just agreed on an intro and tempo and sang a chorus together. Granted, Rothman, Garcia and David Nelson had played all those songs before, but it was usually twenty years earlier. Still, one chorus run through was sufficient. So I think Fogerty talked Garcia and Weir through the planned songs, but they had never really played together until they got on stage. Creedence songs have a nice groove, but they aren't jamming platforms, so of course Garcia just plunks away through the entire show, maybe not his most memorable performance. On one hand, Jerry Garcia's health in 1989 was as good as it had been in at least a decade, nor it would ever be that good again. Yet the stunning success of "Touch Of Grey," gratifying as it must have been, insured that the bubble of Garcia's life meant that he was more insulated than ever. Garcia wasn't just a legend to Deadheads, he was in the pantheon now, the biggest rock star in the Bay Area, in a beautiful cage with no escape.When Fogerty kicks off the familiar, booming riff of "Born On The Bayou," Garcia is tucked back on stage left, next to Steve Jordan's drums. Randy Jackson is on the other side of Jordan, and Weir is right next to Jackson. Although Garcia plays a very simple figure behind Fogerty for "Bayou," his eyes are on Jordan, and Jerry has a big, happy grin on his face. I'm not imagining this--Garcia has a big grin on his face throughout the entire set, and he mugs happily with Jordan as the drummer plays fills and accents through the set. Weir seems to be having the same kind of fun with Randy Jackson over on stage right. Fogerty is the star, front and center, but the band is getting their own groove on behind him. SHOW No. 1: Down On The Corner (and Band introductions) John Fogerty (w. Jerry and Bobby) JERRY GARCIA JOHN FOGERTY CLARENCE CLEMMONS AND BOB WEIR 5-27-1989 AIDS BENEFIT OAKLAND CA (youtube.com) 10:49 – 12:42 "Down on the Corner" is a song by the American band Creedence Clearwater Revival. It appeared on their fourth studio album, Willy and the Poor Boys (1969). The song peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 on 20 December 1969. The flip side, "Fortunate Son", reached No. 14 on the United States charts on 22 November 1969, the week before Billboard changed its methodology on double-sided hits. The Fogerty set isn't a big deal to Deadheads, but it's hard to get around the fact that Garcia is having a great time. Whether Fogerty was "bigger" than Garcia is beside the point. Fogerty is a genuine star, with genuine hits, so he is the center of attention while he is on stage. For any singer less important than Fogerty--as in, just about all of them--Garcia could not hang back, but he can do so here. For 45 minutes, it's like Garcia is at the Keystone Berkeley or something, hanging out with his peers, playing the guitar parts that are dictated by the music, simple though they may be. When they got to "Down On The Corner," Jerry is practically jumping up and down. In a small but fascinating moment, he steps up to the mic to sing the backing vocals. Now granted, the whole English speaking world knows that it goes "Down on the corner/Out in the street/Willie and The Poor Boys are playing/Bring a nickel, tap your feet," but Jerry actually steps up to sing. Over the years, Deadheads have seen and heard Garcia make lots of guest appearances with various artists. Yet how often did he sing the chorus of other people's hit songs? After "Down On The Corner," Fogerty introduces the band, and Garcia's back is turned when it is his turn, as he's tuning up. Fogerty says "wake him up!' and Garcia turns around. "On guitar, Jerry Garcia!" Garcia grins and goes back to tuning, and Fogerty says "Genius at work." This is just musicians goofing around, albeit goofing around on stage in front of 40,000 people, but Garcia gets to be just another dude on stage, perhaps for one of the last times. A few months later (August 2, 1989), he would share the stage with Carlos Santana and Ruben Blades but that was for a TV special where he was a featured guest. At the Oakland Coliseum, he's just a hired gun playing a bunch of top 40 songs. As Deadheads, we always wanted certain things from Jerry. When Garcia didn't give us what we want, we grumbled, and thanks to the magic of tape and digital recording, we can collectively complain about it for decades. Good times! But we have to keep in mind that what we wanted wasn't always what Jerry wanted. For a Memorial Day Saturday, Garcia wanted to be in a band, playing songs the way they were written, singing his parts when they came around, grooving with the drummer and letting the front man do the heavy lifting. Did it ever come around again that Jerry got to play simple, popular songs with a front man with enough gravitational pull so that it wasn't All About Jerry? In that sense, Garcia's role as John Fogerty's backing musician is a last look backwards for Garcia, a time when he could just be in the band, if only for 45 minutes. Or, as I like to think of it, the Fogerty set was a big pre-show jam session for Bobby and Jerry who soon came back out with the Dead for their standard 3+ hour performance. However you look it at it, the Fogerty set was a fun throwback for Deadheads and a chance to see Jerry and Bobby play with another legend.

I hope to be able to have a report on the show for next week's episode but with travel the next day, it may be hard to get the story ready in time. If so, there will be a big report in two weeks. Very excited to see the boys, the Sphere and all my good buddies.The Music Plays the Band – new Dead cover album SHOW No. 2: Iko Iko w/Clarence Clemmons Track #5 5:09 – 6:11 The classic Dead cover of the Dixie Cups tune joined by the Big Man wailing on the sax. Clarence had played a few tunes during Fogerty's set and joined the boys for this tune and a few others during the show. In '89 the Boss was as big as ever and Clarence was a big part of that success. But he enjoyed playing in the improv style embraced by the Dead. Clarence first played with the Dead at their New Year's run on December 27 and December 31, 1988 in Oakland and soon after this how, on June 21, 1989 at Shoreline Amphitheater. He also played a number of times with JGB. And it turns out that one of Clarence's final live performance was playing a show with Phil and Friends a few years back. When the E Street Band went on hiatus at the end of the Eighties, Clemons, who by then had moved to the Bay Area, went in search of work and new musical experiences. In 1989, he toured with the first version of Ringo Starr's All Starr Band, cut an album with producer Narada Michael Walden, and — not surprisingly, given his new home base — befriended members of the Dead.Starting in early 1989, Clemons sat in with both the Dead and the Jerry Garcia Band (JGB) at several shows. With the Dead, he joined in on songs like “Estimated Prophet” and “Eyes of the World” and partook of the overall Dead vibe. “Clarence was an old pal, a soulful bro,” Bob Weir told RS in 2011, right after Clemons' death from complications of a stroke. “He was a good hang. Back in the late Eighties and early Nineties, he was living out here in Marin County. He was in moving-on mode, and he, Jerry, and I mixed it up a bit. We were dropping by clubs like Sweetwater and sitting in with various bands.”The association wasn't just musical. “Jerry and I were both single at that time, and Clarence suggested the three of us move in together and have a bachelor pad,” Weir recalled bemusedly. “Jerry and I almost went for it. It would've been a lot of fun, but I don't think anyone would have survived. Jerry was in good shape, but we were doing a little drinking.” SHOW No. 3: Stuck Inside of Mobile w.the Memphis Blues Again w/Clarence Track #6 2:26 – 3:51 "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again" (also listed as "Memphis Blues Again") is a song by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan from his seventh studio album, Blonde on Blonde (1966). The song was written by Dylan and produced by Bob Johnston. It has nine verses, each featuring a distinct set of characters and circumstances. All 20 takes of "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again" were recorded in the early hours of February 17, 1966, at Columbia Records's A Studio in Nashville, Tennessee, with the last take selected for the album. This version also appears on Dylan's second compilation album, Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II (1971). Dylan played the song live in concert 748 times from 1976 to 2010. A live version recorded in May 1976 was included on the live album from that tour, Hard Rain (1976), and was also released as a single with "Rita May" as the B-side. The first live performance was at the University of West Florida, Pensacola, on April 28, 1976,[32] during the Rolling Thunder Revue tour. Played 70 times by the Dead.

Hunter/Garcia masterpiece. Wharf Rats are a group of concert-goers who have chosen to live drug and alcohol-free. They arose out of the environment around the rock group the Grateful Dead and their followers the Deadheads, both of which were rooted in the drugs-embracing counterculture of the 1960s.[1]Their primary purpose is to support other concert goers who choose to live drug-free, like themselves. They announce their presence with yellow balloons, signs, and the Wharf Rats information table. At a set break during Grateful Dead (and related) concerts they hold self help style meetings but are not affiliated specifically with any 12-Step organization and have no requirement for attendance at one of their meetings besides providing some helpful drug free fellowship.[2] Like Deadheads, members of Wharf Rats come from all walks of life.[3] By 1990, the Wharf Rats mailing list had some 3,000 names.[1]The Wharf Rats began during the early 1980s[2] as a group of Deadheads under the name "The Wharf Rat Group of Alcoholics Anonymous". The Wharf Rats originally came from a small group of Narcotics Anonymous members who went to a Grateful Dead concert in Philadelphia and located each other by their Yellow balloons with the NA symbol drawn on in Magic Marker.[4] However due to operational differences they soon split off from Narcotics Anonymous, and are not affiliated with them, AA, or any other twelve-step program (though many of members of the Wharf Rats are members of AA, NA or other 12-step programs). The Wharf Rats see themselves as "a group of friends sharing a common bond, providing support, information and some traction in an otherwise slippery environment." The relationship between the Wharf Rats and more traditional such groups has been studied in the academic journal Deviant Behavior.[1]While the Wharf Rats originated at Grateful Dead concerts, they now have a presence at other concerts as well. Similar groups include The Phellowship for Phish, The Gateway for Widespread Panic, The Jellyfish for The String Cheese Incident, Much Obliged for Umphrey's McGee, Happy Hour Heroes for moe., the Digital Buddhas for The Disco Biscuits, Better Than Before for The Werks, the Hummingbirds for Bassnectar, and the Sunny Bunny Recovery for Ween, Dustie Baggies for Billy Strings and The Hot Tea Party for Goose—all based on the Wharf Rats, which remain the best-known.[2]The name of this group comes from the 1971 Dead song "Wharf Rat" (written by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter and appearing on Skull & Roses), which contains the self-told story of August West, a down-and-out dockside wino Played: 399 timesFirst: February 18, 1971 at Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, NY, USALast: June 25, 1995 at RFK Stadium in D.C. .Produced by PodConx Deadhead Cannabis Show - https://podconx.com/podcasts/deadhead-cannabis-showLarry Mishkin - https://podconx.com/guests/larry-mishkinRob Hunt - https://podconx.com/guests/rob-huntJay Blakesberg - https://podconx.com/guests/jay-blakesbergSound Designed by Jamie Humiston - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-humiston-91718b1b3/Recorded on Squadcast

Si alguna certeza traemos a este mundo es que algún día tenemos que dejarlo. No queremos pensar en ello, pero tenemos una fecha de caducidad. El problema es que no sabemos cuándo es, Es una cita ineludible para la que tenemos que estar preparados, como nos advierte Jesús en las historias que cuenta en el capitulo 12 de la Buena Noticia según Lucas. Si esto es así individualmente, lo es también para la humanidad. Jesús nos advierte que vendrá ese día cuando menos lo pensemos. Es la "Venida del Hijo del Hombre" anunciada por el profeta Daniel y cantada por Norman Barratt (Coming of The Man 1981), el músico de la banda de rock progresivo Gravy Train convertido a la fe evangélica en los años 70 y ahora en la presencia de su Señor desde el 2011. "Aunque los cielos parecen tan lejos / mañana puede ser el Día del Juicio", dice el grupo cristiano formado en el sur de California en 1987, Enfadado con el mundo (Mad At The World) en su esperanza de "Bailar sobre su propia tumba" (Dancing At Your Own Grave 1988). La extraña parábola del mayordomo infiel nos llama con las palabras de Jesús a ser "Sabios como serpientes" en la canción de Gerry Rafferty (As Wise as Serpent 1982), el músico escocés atraído por la espiritualidad cristiana oriental. La película del sudafricano Oliver Hermanus, "Living" (2022) retoma el clásico japonés de Kurosawa, "Vivir", inspirado en la novela de Tolstoi, "La muerte de Ivan Illich". Nos presenta ahora a un gris funcionario londinense de los años 50, magistralmente interpretado por Bill Nighy, que escucha el más temido diagnóstico a su enfermedad. Tiene los días contados. José de Segovia comenta algunas escenas dobladas del film con el fondo de la banda sonora original de Emilie Levinaise-Farrouch. Muerto en extrañas circunstancias a sus 61años, el inquieto y siempre atormentado músico cristiano Michael Knott, expresó sinceramente sus dificultades para vivir la fe desde sus primeros grupos de "punk" en los años 80 como Lifesavers Underground. "La sombra del dolor" (Shaded Pain) le acompaña sumergiéndole a menudo en el alcohol. Escuchamos en su memoria la canción que da título al álbum de 1987, recordando a la hija que deja de tan trágica manera. Stormie. "El tiempo se nos va" (Time Is Slipping Away) canta Michael Roe con los 77s, el grupo formado en una iglesia a final de esa década en Sacramento, en el disco producido por Steven Soles, uno de los tres músicos que se convirtió con Bob Dylan en la Rolling Thunder Revue, que formaron la Alpha Band. Las palabras de Jesús al principio del capítulo 13 del Evangelio según Lucas nos llaman a volvernos a Dios, ahora que hay tiempo, "arrepentirse o perecer".

Det här är berättelsen om en av världens mest inflytelserika musiker, som slog igenom som folksångare redan på 60-talet och som ständigt gjort sina fans besvikna. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Mörkret har lagt sig över Newport Folk Festival. I strålkastarnas sken står han, deras frälsare. Folkmusikern som på bara något år gått från helt okänd, till att bli den störste. Det bruna håret är lika lockigt som vanligt, men mycket annat är nytt, som skinnjackan över skjortan och dom svarta tajta jeansen. När dom sista tonerna av låten Maggies Farm klingar ut står det klart att Bob Dylan inte heller låter som han brukar, den här varma sommarkvällen 1965.Den upprörda publiken busvisslar, buar och skriker. Men den 24-årige musikern tycks helt oberörd av protesterna. Han nickar kort mot folkhavet och säger tack, innan han testar några ackord på sin nya elgitarr. När bandet börjar spela nästa Like A Rolling Stone och en elektrisk orgel kommer in i ljudbilden råder det inte längre några tvivel. Bob Dylan har lämnat den akustiska folkmusiken bakom sig och publikens burop stiger till nya nivåer.Medverkande: Erika Hallhagen, Lena Bendrik och Manfred PiltorpProgrammet är gjort av Filip Bohm i januari 2024Producent var Joanna KorbutiakExekutiv producent Lars TruedsonSlutmix Fredrik NilssonProgramledare Siri HillBöckerna Memoarer.

Rob Stoner has an amazing life making music. I met Rob around 2010 when we both recorded tracks on a Robert Gordon record produced by Quention Jones. I found him to be a a genuinely good dude and super bassist. I found out that session that he played bass on Don McLean's hit American Pie but he also sings back up with the track. He was the band leader of Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue. Which was a stellar band the included Rob, Nick Ronson. Howie Wyeth,Scarlet Rivera.

Joni Mitchell's songs have soundtracked our lives and her pioneering work changed music forever. Jesca Hoop explores her extraordinary story to reveal the life behind the legend.In episode four we follow Joni from 1974 through to 1978. In 1974 Court and Spark is released to huge acclaim but already Joni is heading in new directions musically. This is the era of The Hissing of Summer Lawns, Hejira and Don Juan's Reckless Daughter. Through '74 and '75 she tours extensively and joins Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue. Her creative restlessness and refusal to be put in a box take her in new directions, but also into controversial territory. “I've always been a creature of change” – Joni MitchellThrough archive, fresh interviews, narration, immersive sound design and an original score, we trace the story of an extraordinary life and explore what makes Joni Mitchell a singular artist: the genius of her lyrics; her incredible talent as guitarist, painter and producer; and her restless drive for innovation.In Legend, we follow Joni from her ‘flatlander' childhood on the Canadian prairies, through the folk clubs of Toronto and Detroit, to a redwood cottage in L.A.'s Laurel Canyon, to a cave in Crete, to a deserted desert highway, to recording studios and stages around the world. From her earliest home recordings to masterpieces like Blue, Court and Spark, and Hejira, we explore some of the stories behind her best-loved songs and celebrate her remarkable return to live performance in 2023: “like seeing, in the wild, a rare bird long feared extinct” (Lindsay Zoladz). Our guide through the series is the California-born, Manchester-based musician, Jesca Hoop. Jesca speaks to musicians like Blake Mills, Allison Russell, Holly Laessig and Jess Wolfe, who have played alongside Joni, and we hear tributes from those, like musician John Grant, who have been inspired and influenced by her music. We also hear from Joni's friends, including Larry Klein and Graham Nash; and from music critics and biographers, including Ann Powers, David Yaffe, Lindsay Zoladz, Kate Mossman, Barney Hoskyns, Miles Grier and Jenn Pelly.The Joni Mitchell Story comes from the production team behind BBC Radio 4's award-winning podcast Soul Music – “… the gold standard for music podcasts…” (Esquire).Producers: Mair Bosworth and Eliza Lomas Production Coordinator: Andrew Lewis Editor: Chris Ledgard Story Editor: Emma Harding Story Consultant: John Yorke Sound Design and Original Music: Hannis Brown Studio Engineers: Ilse Lademann and Michael Harrison Commissioning Editor: Daniel Clarke
In the winter of 1969, Bob Dylan arrived in Tennessee with only four songs completed for his Nashville Skyline recording sessions. Over the next few days at the Columbia studio and in his rooms at the Ramada Inn, he composed another five pieces, including this stunning tune that he used as the album's closing track.“Tonight I'll be Staying Here with You” was the third single to be released from Nashville Skyline (after “I Threw It All Away” and “Lay Lady Lay.”) It reached #50 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and the top 20 in other countries.Critical response was positive. Cash Box said that, unlike previous Dylan singles, "this ballad is honed to a fine edge and further sharpened through excellent production touches.” Record World concurred, calling it “another classic from the master.”MilestoneDylanologists, meanwhile, found the song insightful, because the lyrics seemed to mark a change from the angst of Bob's earlier love songs, many of which told of restless searches.In contrast, "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here with You" finds Dylan devoted to his lover and willing to settle down (at least for the nonce). Some fans waxed poetic at the thought of Bob as a family man, happy to be quietly living with Sara and the kids.Dylan himself seemed to like that image. Soon after Nashville Skyline's release, he told Rolling Stone‘s Jann Wenner, “I was on the road for almost five years. It wore me down. I was on drugs, a lot of things. … I don't want to live that way anymore.” TrainsTrain imagery, by the way, runs throughout the song.But unlike his earlier lyrics, in this song, even though he "can hear that whistle blowin'," he wants to "throw my ticket out the window" and let "a poor boy on the street" have his seat.On the album, the song showcases Dylan's then-new smooth country croon between twangy guitar fills. A more raucous version, though, became a live highlight a few years later when Bob was — yes — back on the road with the Rolling Thunder Revue. Our Take on the TuneThere's a reason why The Flood's rendition of this Dylan classic sounds different from Bobby's version (or from anyone else's take on the tune, for that matter). That's because back in the early 1980s, when Roger and Charlie started playing around with opening chord progression here, they thought they were writing an original song of their own. But then Rog and the Samples family moved away — leaving West Virginia for the green hills of Kentucky — and the piece they were working on was left an orphan. It didn't even have a name or the first hints of a lyric. Only a year or so later, when Charlie was noodling with it during the warmup at a jam session, did Dave Peyton say, “Hey, you know what? If you tweaked the chords a bit and added the bridge, you could sing that Dylan thing over that!” Right there and then an arrangement was born, and we've been playing it like this ever since.Meanwhile….By the way, if you'd like more Floodified Dylan tunes, check out this special playlist we constructed for Bobby's birthday a Spring or two ago: This is a public episode.

This month, we're thrilled to have David Mansfield on the show, a composer, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and arranger with a long and storied career. We have each worked with David for a long time, and know firsthand the talent and depth he brings to all the music he touches. Growing up in New Jersey and beginning his career in local bands, he started playing with Bob Neuwirth at The Bitter End and, at 18, joined Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue. From there, he went on to tour and record with Dylan over many albums, and in his 50-year career has worked with an endless variety of artists, including Sting, Van Morrison, Johnny Cash, Emmylou Harris, Bobby McFerrin, David Byrne, The Wainwrights, The Roches, really the list goes on and on. He's also composed an equally extensive list of music for film and television, including The movies “Heaven's Gate” and “The Apostle” and, most recently the Showtime Limited Series “George & Tammy”. In this episode, David discusses his early career and influences, touring with Dylan, his scoring and composition work, and demonstrates the Psaltery, one of the more unique of his many instruments.
Jonathan Demme and the Talking Heads' concert film classic Stop Making Sense is back in theaters for a 40th anniversary revival, so Brad saw it in IMAX at Jake's request. Brad and Jake talk about the delightful addition of David Byrne solo and Tom Tom Club songs, Bryne's insane stamina, and propose a revival for concert films in the wake of this and Taylor Swift's new juggernaut movie. The talk then shifts to Brad's assignment for Jake, the four-hour epic and final Sergio Leone film, Once Upon a Time in America. They talk about enduring Robert De Niro's despicable protagonist Noodles, wrestling with James Woods's problematic real-life personality in light of his terrific performance here, the production struggles the movie had upon its release, and the raw deal that composer Ennio Morricone was served up in 1984. Other movies discussed in this episode: The Last Waltz (1978), True Stories (1986), Tanner '88 (1988), Tanner on Tanner (2004), Shine a Light (2008), Beyonce: Lemonade (2016), Rolling Thunder Revue (2019), American Utopia (2020), Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (2023).
San Francisco movie and media critic Pam Grady joins us and she finally brings Westerns into OMFYS with ZACHARIAH (1971), a homoerotic oater starring John Rubenstein and a very young Don Johnson as star-crossed gunslingers who just can't quit each other on their road to hippy-dippy enlightenment. Billed as "The First Electric Western," Country Joe & the Fish, the James Gang and the New York Rock Ensemble show up with their late-1960s Gibson guitars and Fender stacks even though everything else about the movie takes place in the 19th Century. John Coltrane drummer Elvin Jones nearly steals the show by shooting a dude and then playing a kick-ass drum solo. ZACHARIAH is streaming on YouTube but this DVD-rip on Archive is far superior so Airplay that to your flat screen: https://archive.org/details/zachariah-1971-dvdrip-xvi-d Our second feature is the very-noir psychological western PURSUED from tough guy director Raoul Walsh in 1947. The Hollywood pothead par excellence ROBERT MITCHUM plays Jeb Rand who struggles to recall the massacre of his family through repressed memories and expressionist dream sequences. Making the past more than prologue is that the people who slaughtered the Rands are still plotting to finish the job. Also starring Teresa Wright as Jeb's love interest and sister-by-adoption (ew); Judith Anderson as the matriarch who's definitely keeping secrets; and the Skipper's dad, Alan Hale Sr. New Mexico's landscapes are brought to life in PURSUED by the breathtaking cinematography of James Wong Howe and it's all set to a sweeping Max Steiner score. Bob and Cory also discuss how Raoul Walsh got his eyepatch plus the ghastly prank the great director played on Errol Flynn, so wait for that. PAM GRADY will be introducing Scorsese's Dylan near-mockumentary, ROLLING THUNDER REVUE, on Sunday, Sept. 24th at the 4 Star Theater (2200 Clement Street, San Francisco).

Ray Padgett lives in Vermont, first discovered Dylan when he was 16 in the 21st Century and was fascinated and besotted, later launching the newsletter ‘Flagging Down the Double E's' and now publishing the enthralling ‘Pledging My Time', a collection of his interviews with over 40 people who've worked, performed and recorded with the inscrutable old rogue.

Roger McGuinn is best known as the driving force behind The Byrds. But McGuinn is also a preservationist of traditional folk music. For the past 27 years he's been re-recording traditional folk songs and sharing them on a section of his website called The Folk Den. On today's episode Rick Rubin talks to Roger McGuinn about his decades-long career, which started in the early ‘60s at Greenwich Village cafes where he played with the likes of Bob Dylan and Richie Havens. McGuinn reminisces about the vibrant music scene in LA, and he also talks about meeting his Byrd's bandmate David Crosby. We'll also hear Roger McGuinn play his guitar throughout the interview, and talk about how playing basketball with Bob Dylan helped inspire Dylan's storied tour, the Rolling Thunder Revue. You can hear a playlist of some of our favorite Roger McGuinn and The Byrds songs HERE.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
O Brother, Phil and David had an absolutely fantastic, fascinating and far-ranging "Lunch" with the great T Bone Burnett while in Nashville recently -- so much so that none of them actually ate their delicious breakfast sandwiches from @hseanbrock's Joyland until after this conversation stopped. So you will hear no chewing here, yet there is a lot to chew on. The Oscar and Grammy winning Burnett goes deep about not just his own remarkable career -- from early life-changing experiences on Bob Dylan's legendary Rolling Thunder Revue and being a musician in the infamous yet artful big screen "fiasco" known as "Heaven's Gate" to his extraordinary work on soundtracks like "O Brother, Where Art Thou" and "Crazy Heart" right until today, including some notable recent recording with Dylan that reflects Burnett's deep thinking about the value of music, and the place in our world today. Phil and David want to thank T Bone -- who's produced everyone from Roy Orbison to Los Lobos to Elton John to Robert Plant and Alison Krauss to Counting Crows and The Wallflowers -- and Michelle Freetly for setting up their mics at East Iris Studios and making this "Lunch" far and away our coolest and most atmospheric recording yet.

PART ONE:We pay tribute to Songcraft friend and legendary songwriter Lamont Dozier, who passed away recently at the age of 81. In happier news, we discuss Paul's recent nomination for a GMA Dove Award for Songwriter of the year before diving into the Ringo Starr Instagram foot controversy. PART TWO (14:39):We make an important announcement about the future of Songcraft, reveal the winner of our Dave Alvin book giveaway, and share all the details on the brand new Byrds coffee table book. PART THREE (22:13):Our in-depth interview with Roger McGuinnABOUT ROGER McGUINN:Our guest on this episode of Songcraft is Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Roger McGuinn. Best known for his work with The Byrds, Roger's distinctive 12-string electric guitar style helped propel the singles “Mr. Tambourine Man” and “Turn! Turn! Turn!” to the top of the charts. As a songwriter, Roger wrote or co-wrote many of the band's classics, including “Eight Miles High,” “5D,” “Mr. Spaceman,” “So You Want to Be a Rock ‘n' Roll Star,” “Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man,” “Ballad of Easy Rider,” “Chestnut Mare,” and others. He launched a solo career in the 1970s, releasing albums that explored new musical territory, and touring as part of Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue. By the end of the decade, Roger had reunited with former Byrds bandmates Chris Hillman and Gene Clark as a trio known as McGuinn, Clark & Hillman, which yielded the McGuinn-penned Top 40 single “Don't You Write Her Off.” His 1991 comeback album, Back from Rio, included the Billboard Mainstream Rock hits “King of the Hill” and “Someone to Love,” and featured songs co-written with Tom Petty, Dave Stewart, Jeff Lynne, Mike Campbell, and McGuinn's wife Camilla, who has since become his primary songwriting partner. A lifelong folk music enthusiast, McGuinn has recorded hundreds of songs as part of his online Folk Den project. A compilation album, Treasures from the Folk Den, earned Roger his third Grammy nomination. Most recently, the three surviving founding members of The Byrds—McGuinn, Hillman, and David Crosby—have put together an oversized 400-page coffee table book of photographs and oral history called The Byrds: 1964-1967, which is available for order in both standard and limited-edition autographed versions at www.byrdsbook.com.
