Ah, that time of year when trials mean nothing or everything! Where do Sixties and Forty20 fall on that famous preseason spectrum after the Parramatta Eels annihilated the Cronulla Sharks 40-6 on Sunday night? The Tip Sheet delves into the opening hitout of the year as Jason Ryles made full use of a 28-man roster. What areas impressed the boys the most? Who enhanced their stock? Did we see enough from the young outside backs to move the needle on depth in the unit?
The Lomax Saga has taken a wild twist today with evidence presented by Parramatta Eels in court alleging the Melbourne Storm attempted to leverage NRL CEO Andrew Abdo to "apply the blow torch on parramatta to get this done" while also allegedly coercing the Eels with the threat of punitive means being enacted against Parramatta's salary cap. The Tip Sheet reacts to the sensational claims, brought on by legal discovery, and how they threaten to blow the lid on the code in this landmark case. Sixties and Forty20 discuss the implications brought on by today's revelations including some extremely uncomfortable questions raised around neutrality and the balance of power in the code. How can this be resolved and how concerned should fans - not just of the Blue & Gold - be moving forwards?
This episode highlight explores the competing theories behind Charles Manson's motives — from psychological explanations and the cultural chaos of the late 1960s to the controversial claim that he may have been an unwitting subject of CIA mind-control experiments. Featuring insights from Nicholas Tochka, author of 'The Musical Lives of Charles Manson: The Beatles, the Beach Boys, and the Invention of the Sixties ―or, No Sense Makes Sense', the clip examines what's documented, what remains speculation, and why the Manson story continues to fascinate decades later.Listen to Episode 356 - Manson Unmasked: Motive, Myth, and Rock 'n' Roll [Episode 356]
The Eels are on the road again in Round 2 of the Junior Representatives with all four grades facing the Cronulla Sharks. The Tip Sheet analyses how the Lisa Fiaola, Harold Matthews and SG Ball can build on impressive opening round victories and what the Tarsha Gale need to do to get themselves on the board against the competitors from the Shire. Sixties and Forty20 even throw in a cheeky bonus preview this week with the NRL trial capping off a monster stretch of games at Henson Park on Sunday. Who stands to gain the most this week in the eyes of the coaches? What do we want to see out of the Eels in their first hit out of the year? Is there such a thing as too much footy!?
Jason Ryles is going to be a busy man on Sunday night after naming a gargantuan 28-man team list for Parramatta's opening trial against the Cronulla Sharks. Sixties and Forty20 finally shake off the preseason rust as they rip into one of the signpost podcasts of the season because ladies and gentlemen - Team List Tuesday is back! As always, The Tip Sheet goes far and wide across Parradise to look at the latest news including the most recent Lomax developments and the results from the first week of the Junior Representatives. South Sydney blindsided the entire NRL when news emerged on Sunday that they had secured the signature of Payne Haas from 2027 to the end of 2029. How did the Rabbitohs slip under the guard of the Broncos? Is there another twist to this tale? With the contract still in the cooling-off window, the Broncos have a right of reply - can they salvage this situation?
In this episode, we take a deep dive into the dark legacy of Charles Manson, exploring his motives, the psychology behind his crimes, and the conspiracy theories that still surround the case—while focusing on the surprising role rock music played in shaping his worldview. We're joined by Nicholas Tochka, author of The Musical Lives of Charles Manson, who unpacks Manson's obsession with 1960s music, his ties to major artists of the era, and how he twisted cultural influences into a dangerous ideology, revealing the unsettling intersection of crime, myth, and rock 'n' roll.Purchase a copy of The Musical Lives of Charles Manson: The Beatles, the Beach Boys, and the Invention of the Sixties — or, No Sense Makes SenseFollow Nicholas Tochka:BlueskyFacebookX----------

Sixties declared he wanted as much of a Zac Lomax free zone as possible last week but a potentially shocking twist in the story has blown that wish away. Reports emerged yesterday that the NRL could possibly intervene in proceedings in order to force the Eels to release the contractually exiled star to the Melbourne Storm for amounts as a pittance in compensation. This would be a landmark action from the game's governing body and opens up the mother of all cans of worms as The Tip Sheet rip in with their thoughts on the impasse. Believe it or not, there are other things to take about as the boys review another round of Junior Representative trials including a stunning performance by the SG Ball. Sixties brings the latest from training - even with the squad up at Lennox Head - as the Eels continue their build towards the trials. Who is on a hot-seat and who is just dead meat? The boys review the Daily Telegraph's coach security ratings ahead of the 2026 season amongst an assortment of NRL sundry news to wrap up the show.

The preseason rolls on in the new year and the Parramatta Eels continue to ramp up. Sixties has been in his element out at Kellyville with his training reports and the show looks at how the Blue & Gold are shaping up as we begin the gradual turn towards the trial games. Parramatta have locked up another exciting prospect with young forward Max Popo committing to the club until the end of 2028. It marks another priority junior retention for the Eels and the boys review how the club now stands with its young prospects. Speaking of juniors, the pathways are just about in full stride now as they prepare for the launch of their competitions early in February. With trials against the Bulldogs set to solidify each squad, the boys forecast how the junior representatives are set to stack up. The Bears continue to build towards their 2027 debut with another pair of NRL additions. After raiding the Eels for Sean Russell, Mal Meninga then turned to Melbourne where he nabbed Nick Meaney and Tyran Wishart. It marks Perth's most successful recruitment drive to date - so how are they stacking up? NRL clubs are pushing back against constant rule changes as they present a unified front to the governing body. It feels like a similar sentiment to the majority of fans, so how will it all play out?

Gardaí are questioning a man in his 30s after the fatal assault of another man in Ard an Rátha. Stephen Maguire editor of Donegal Daily.
Some girthy changes could be coming to the NRL in 2026. The rules and competition committee have slapped a quartet of proposed changes on the table and now handed it over to the clubs and RLPA to now come to a consensus. The Tip Sheet explores the four theoretical rules changes and how it could quite literally change the game for the Eels. Christmas has come and gone but it was the Dragons who played the role of Grinch after they snuck in and stole the signing of Keaon Koloamatangi away from the Rabbitohs and Eels. Sixties and Forty20 look at how Parra were pipped at the very end and what the club does now.
At the height of leftwing activism in the Sixties, conservatives funded tax-deducible rightwing groups on campuses to counter Black Power, demands for ethnic studies, and the New Left. As historian Lauren Shepherd illustrates, such groups like Young Americans for Freedom groomed future Republican leaders and influential conservatives, like Karl Rove and Newt Gingrich. There they learned to spin unpopular politics as popular. (Encore presentation.)

Episode 369 of RevolutionZ has Miguel Guevara questioning Lydia Lawrence about her journey from the Sixties to RPS. After anger and solidarity fuel a movement's start what decides whether it survives? Lydia Lawrence—feminist, organizer, media worker, and the first shadow government president of RPS—tells of her journey from sixties militancy, through doldrums, to sustained revolutionary engagement. Her recounting begins with a poem-like charge sheet against injustice, but quickly pivots to the practices that kept early RPS victories from unspooling. Treat oppression as a web, not a queue; change roles, not just leaders; speak plainly, share skills, and build structures that match our values.Miguel elicits from Lydia a revelatory mid-west factory story. Workers seized their plant. Councils rose and wages leveled. Spirit soared. Yet before too long passed, hierarchy crept back. Spirits crashed. The culprit wasn't human nature. It was an unbroken corporate division of labor. A small group accumulated knowledge, access and confidence from newly doing empowering tasks while most returned to repetitive, debilitating tasks. Voice, influence and then even income stratified as much much of the old order reassembled itself. Out with the old boss, the owner. In with a new boss who Lydia calls Coordinators. Lydia lays out how class, race, gender, and polity entangle across home, school, workplace, media, and law—and why single-issue wins erode when unaltered institutions push back. She describes the cultural suicide of “ghosting” in movements and the coordinator class habit of hiding power behind jargon. Solidarity requires attention, not performance.The discussion moves from Sander's valuable sparks and Trump's odious fear to the necessity of building bridges without diluting justice for women, Black and Brown communities, LGBTQ+ people, and working-class men alike. Since oppression is an entangled network, strategy must be systemic. Lydia discusses her conversion to emphasizing balanced roles, open information, participatory decision-making, and a language everyone can own. Do Lydia's reports of her path to joining sustained, effective revolutionary activism resonate with you? Are the lessons she reveals relevant to our times and circumstances? Concluding this episode's presentation of the sixteenth chapter from The Wind Cries Freedom, is a closing meditation on fiction as oral history—stories that test ideas and invite you to refine them. Is it worth sharing with a friend?Support the show
Join Dom and Chris of Sheep Farm Studios, and Matt Sergiou, proprietor of the site The Occult Beatles for what looks set to become an epic-sized series of presentations into the all-encompassing and often hidden influence of the Asher family, and its maternal line the Eliot's, on the entity that is ‘The Beatles.' Be prepared for a deep dive into the relationship between the most influential band there ever was, so-called ‘elite' bloodlines, and a wheel of conspiracies including Mind Control, eugenics, social engineering, music and cultural manipulation, radical Sixties politics, ‘Paul is Dead,' the push for psychedelia and the 'New Age,' and the desire for a One World Order.This is an addendum to earlier-released investigations into the Beatles and the Asher bloodline hosted by Mike Williams of Sage of Quay, and the Sheep Farm series, ‘Huxley's Brave New World Order.'

When you tell friends you're going to see a movie at The Roxie, there's an almost palpable envy that sets in for them. In this episode, meet Lex Sloan and Henry S. Rosenthal. Lex is The Roxie's executive director and Henry is on its Board of Directors and the chair of the theater's capital campaign, which we'll get to. In the meantime, if you'd like to help keep a bona fide San Francisco landmark in its rightful home until the end of time (they'd sure love you to, and so would I), donate to the Forever Roxie fund here. We start with Henry, who lets us know that the "S" in his name stands for Sigmund. Henry was born in Cincinnati and had what he describes as an "idyllic childhood" there. He started going to music shows when he was 13, seeing bands like Iggy and the Stooges and MC5. After graduating from high school, he moved to San Francisco in 1973 to attend school at The New College of California. He was an early subscriber to Rolling Stone magazine, where he had seen a New College ad. That ad captivated young Henry's imagination. He visited the campus, which was in Sausalito at the time, after a road trip from Ohio to the West Coast. The school tried to get him to enroll right then, but Henry decided to go back home and finish high school first. Henry produced cable TV shows while in college. In a sense, it's what he's been doing ever since. When Henry moved to San Francisco, there were still operating movie palaces on Market. Before really making friends here, he'd spend a lot of time inside those theaters. It was the era of movies like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Enter the Dragon. He says it's difficult to put into words (it is), but San Francisco just grabbed him and never let go. Then we turn to Lex Sloan. Lex went to college in Bellingham, Washington, at the type of school that allows you to design your own degree, which she did. Lex got a bachelor's in "social change media," which is so on the nose, it tickles. Post-graduation, she went to what she calls "the middle of nowhere, Arizona," but that lasted all of seven or eight months. Looking for where to land next and being a spreadsheet nerd (like me), Lex made a list. And lo and behold, San Francisco checked the most boxes. She got a job in Redwood City, not knowing that that Peninsula town wasn't exactly The City. No matter—she landed. The job involved teaching video production at a community center. At first, she stayed in a hostel on Mission Street before finding a place all her own on Craigslist. That was 2005, and Lex hasn't looked back. We go back to Henry to hear the story of how The Roxie drew him in. Perhaps jokingly, he says he laments not visiting when The Roxie was a porn theater. Henry doesn't recall his actual first visit, but says he's been a regular since first learning about the place. He knew Bill Banning, who created Roxie Releases, the organization's distribution operation. (Rivers and Tides, the documentary about artist Andy Goldsworthy, is among their releases.) Banning and he were friends for a while. Their kids went to school together. Their lives kept intertwining, including at film festivals. When The Roxie transitioned to a nonprofit and created a board, folks like Bill invited Henry to join it. He politely refused … until the theater was on firmer ground financially. And once it was, he was in. Henry's goal in joining The Roxie board was singular, he says: To help the organization buy the building where the theater sits. Lex does remember her first time at The Roxie. After she landed in The City, she sought work on local film crews. She found a crew and their film (Getting Off) premiered at The Roxie during Frameline. Because she was "only" a production assistant, she wasn't comped a ticket. Lex remembers showing up and seeing a rather long and daunting line to get in. But! That line was filled with her people. She calls that screening "magical" and "electrifying." Over the years, she came back time and again, for one-off movies as well as for film festivals. When Lex worked for Frameline, one of her jobs was carrying film prints into the projection booth at The Roxie and other theaters. Fast-forward to 10 years or so ago, when Lex became operations director at The Roxie. We then turn to the history of The Roxie, with Lex as our tour guide. The space where the theater sits today was built to be just that—a movie theater. It wasn't converted at any point from something else to become a place where folks watch movies. The folks who run the theater today have discovered and held onto the original blueprints from 1913. Its first name was The Poppy Theater. Then it was The 16th Street. Then The New 16th Street, The Gaiety, The Rex, and finally, in the early 1930s, The Roxie. That oh-so-recognizable marquee came to The Mission from an auto dealership in Oakland aboard a barge that traveled across The Bay. A lot of the history of The Roxie before the Seventies is not well-known. But, after becoming The Roxie, it was first a German-language cinema (concessions at the time were German candies). Thanks to some projectionist's notes they've found, they know that in the Fifties, it became a variety space of sorts. In the late Sixties/early Seventies, it was an XXX theater, as mentioned in Henry's story earlier. In those days, a turnstile out front kept underage folks and those who didn't pay out (or did it?). In 1976 or '77, a group of local artists took over. That group changed a lot of things. It became more of an arthouse cinema, as it remains to this day. The folks who ran the place put people before profits. Midnight movies became a thing The Roxie was known for. Check back Thursday for Part 2 with Lex and Henry.

Rather than just list them all, Mark and Ray dance through this era-focused topic, guitars in hand, for an episode of Game Changers! Starting with a brief history of the Fender Strat, and a brief side road about "the two Jimmys," the "Imbalanced Ones" cram as much '70s axe action into this one as possible! The 1970s didn't arrive fully formed, so the discussion has to include those Sixties players, like Jimi Hendrix, who opened doors and laid the base forSeventies-specific guitarists. No discussion of the decade and guitar is complete without talking about Eddie Van Halen, which bookends this story. Cotton and color gave way to artificial fabric and varied print patterns, the Hippies yielded to Suburbia...it's the 1970's in America! Disco was around the corner...but Rock was King to start the decade, and guitars drove a massive wave of music to an exploding youth culture!

Episode No. 735 features curators Dan Nadel and Laura Phipps, and curator Alexander J. Noelle. With Elizabeth Sussman and Scott Rothkopf, Nadel and Phipps are the co-curators of "Sixties Surreal" at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. The exhibition works to complicate the march of -isms which, outside the academy and too few art museums, has too often ossified into the the era's US art history. "Sixties Surreal" offers some of the ways in which artists working around the US (and not only in New York or for its market) mined surrealist thought and theory to help them reckon with the era's sociopolitical extremes. The exhibition is on view through January 19, 2026. The thought-provoking exhibition catalogue was published by the Whitney. Amazon and Bookshop offer it for about $40-45. Also, Nadel and Phipps have made a 113-song Spotify playlist to accompany the show. The Cleveland Museum of Art's remarkable autumn of major Italian Renaissance presentations continues with Noelle's "Filippino Lippi and Rome," a look at the Florentine's painter's work in and informed by travel to Rome. The impetus for the exhibition was Cleveland's own tondo The Holy Family with Saint John the Baptist and Saint Margaret (ca. 1488-93), a masterpiece and the only known independent work that Filippino produced in Rome. Filippino is the son of the famed Fra Filippo Lippi, and apprenticed and collaborated with Sandro Botticelli before working on his own. "Lippi and Rome" is on view through February 22, 2026. A superb catalogue was published by the museum. Amazon and Bookshop offer it for $40. Several months ago the Cleveland Museum of Art debuted Giambologna's Fata Morgana, a high-profile acquisition of a rare Giambologna marble sculpture. Instagram: Dan Nadel, Laura Phipps, Alexander J. Noelle, and Tyler Green.
The practice of people self-identifying as Indigenous has come into sharp focus after a number of high-profile cases of “pretendians” claiming to be Indigenous without evidence. However, far less attention has been given to Indigenous people being wrongly labelled as pretendians. In a recent article for Policy Options, Debbie Martin argues that the rush for Indigenous identity policies at universities has led to people with legitimate claims to Indigeneity being swept up in policies that will cause lasting harm. Debbie Martin is Inuk and a member of Nunatukavut. She is a professor in the school of health and human performance at Dalhousie University and the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Peoples' health and well-being.

New name, same show! Overlapping Dialogue is now Ticket Stubs—your go-to stop for double features, deep dives, and all things cinema. This week, we're celebrating Noirvember in style with a pairing that bridges the past and present of the crime genre: John Boorman's cold-blooded, acid-tinged revenge saga Point Blank (1967) and Steve McQueen's taut, politically charged heist thriller Widows (2018). Listen as we dissect their hardboiled aesthetics, fractured moral codes, and the surprisingly emotional depths lurking beneath their genre trappings. But first, on this week's Blue Plate Special, we take a moment to review the brand-new reimagining of The Running Man and share a rundown of upcoming fall releases we're most excited to catch—just in time for awards season. To all our listeners: we're thankful for your continued support and wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving! As always, please like, subscribe, rate, and review us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and wherever else you listen! Got thoughts or questions? Email us at huffmanbrothersproductions@gmail.com.
25 movies and 0 hits: it's been a particularly rough quarter for Hollywood. But as I discuss with the cultural commentator David Masciotra, it's actually been a pretty strong quarter in terms of movie quality. From Paul Thomas Anderson's “One Battle After Another” and Jennifer Lawrence's astonishing performance in “Die My Love” to a glitteringly bald Emma Stone in “Bugonia” and Ethan Coen's “Honey Don't!”, Hollywood is producing high quality, relevant material. One problem, however, is that Gen Z has abandoned cinema. Another is that Hollywood's penchant for movies dominated by memorably uncompromising female leads like Stone and Lawrence might be out of step with a broader culture still imprisoned by a nostalgia for a dominant masculinity. Perhaps that's why “One Battle After Another”, featuring Leonardo DiCaprio as a pathetically redundant Sixties radical, is the one hit of the season. And it may also be why the excellent Springsteen biopic, “Deliver Me From Nowhere”, featuring a clueless Bruce trying to find himself by recording “Nebraska”, was such a flop. No, men don't matter, either in Hollywood or in life. Even when they do. One Battle After Another (Paul Thomas Anderson) The season's sole commercial success ($70 million) works because it satirizes everyone. DiCaprio's incompetent ‘60s radical provides comic relief, but it's Chase Infinity's cynical Gen Z daughter who steals the film (even if Gen Z'ers have given up going to the movies). Anderson's Pynchon adaptation makes absurdity central to American identity, both then and now—the villainous Christmas Adventures Club in golf attire perfectly capturing MAGA's ridiculousness.Die My Love (Josephine Decker) Jennifer Lawrence delivers an astonishing performance confirming she's among Hollywood's greatest actors. The film died at the box office despite critical praise—perhaps because audiences resistant to female-dominated narratives won't show up even for exceptional work like this. Her assertiveness and complexity highlights exactly what's missing from contemporary male performances.Bugonia (Yorgos Lanthimos) Emma Stone continues her fearless run in this cultish, visually striking film. Her performance demonstrates creative risk-taking unavailable to today's male leads. Jesse Plemons plays the archetypal basement-dwelling conspiracy theorist—masculine id of our internet age. Its commercial failure suggests audiences aren't ready for cinema that interrogates rather than celebrates American mythology.Honey Don't! (Ethan Coen) Coen's lesbian B-movie homage to film noir, which David Masciotra loved, deserved better than its catastrophic box office. Margaret Qualley's detective becomes a feminist hero fighting idiotic patriarchy without losing entertainment value. Set in Bakersfield and focused on religious hypocrisy, it feels both familiar and innovative. Its death proves even clever, relevant films can't entice Gen Z'ers back to the movies.Deliver Me From Nowhere (James Mangold) The season's most revealing failure. The film captures Springsteen's Faustian bargain—trading artistic integrity for superstardom, making “Nebraska” his final serious work before “Born in the USA”'s commercial conquest. It depicts fierce masculine anxiety through Bruce's mentally ill, violent father and his own depression. Yet it bored audiences with its introspective approach—ultimate proof that even films about masculine crisis can't reach audiences imprisoned by nostalgia for an imaginary American masculinity that never existed.

Dr. Jerome Corsi focuses deeply into the government's medical cover-up of President John F. Kennedy's assassination on Corsi Nation - an encore discussion. Dr. Corsi and Dr. David Mantik's analysis proves the U.S. government was not only involved in a professional hit against the popular president, but took time to hide and destroy evidence of how #JFK was murdered, cleaned up Kennedy's skull before the autopsy and tampered with not only the X-rays and pre-autopsy prep, but manipulated the medical investigation to keep the truth behind the assassination and who perpetrated it.You can find out more in Dr. Corsi's and Dr. Mantik's new book: The Assassination of President John F.

This week, friend of the show Deke joins us as we head back to the Deuce with Joseph Cates' leering and pervy thriller, Who Killed Teddy Bear. It's an evening full of menacing phone calls, Sixties bops, rampant perversity, and of course, Sal Mineo's workout routine. And let's be honest, that last part is the entire reason Joe picked the film in the first place
Luminous: A Podcast about Psychedelics from To The Best Of Our Knowledge
We all know Timothy Leary, the high priest of ‘60s psychedelia, but his partner, Rosemary Woodruff Leary, has largely been forgotten. She also had a remarkable life, even breaking Leary out of prison with the help of the Weather Underground. Now, biographer Susannah Cahalan tells her story — from the heady Sixties to a life on the run for decades.Original Air Date: November 08, 2025Interviews In This Hour: Guests: Susannah CahalanNever want to miss an episode?

Rick and Jay talk about stupid mistakes, shoe money, James Burrows, Cheers, directing people, not getting the girl, and the moment you reveal your big secret and no one cares.Bio: Rick Beren grew up in the Sixties and Seventies in the very liberal Bay Area. Even then, he managed to push the boundaries of tolerance of his parents, teachers, and eventually, the law. Mostly minor indiscretions, and all (always) in the pursuit of fun, but it landed him in the Vacaville State prison for selling one quarter gram of cocaine. The quality was so poor, he should've been convicted of false advertising. Anyway, his girlfriend also was sent to State prison (unfortunately, not by his side) for women. She had sold the same undercover agent, some 200 amphetamine pills. They were in college at the time (1977) and spent about 5 months in jail. The story of Ricks book is told with humor, compassion and a what the fuck attitude of how could this little, entitled, Jew end up in prison with Charles Manson and his ilk? As I say, He was probably always headed in that direction. Speaking of direction. In less than five years after his release, he was the director's assistant on his favorite show, Cheers. Rick found his life calling and immersed himself in the bliss of being around these amazingly talented people. He worked his way up the ladder and became a director himself and on that very show! He went on to direct many shows and worked in the industry for four decades. Along the way, he fell into an amazing relationship (with a girl who was not an ex-con) and they have two (so far not ex-con) daughters. Life turned out pretty fucking great. And the highlight of his life and career was being able to spend time with Jay ( the legend) Kogen in an intimate (edited) two hour conversation. Jay wants his time backing the form of a poker game where he can monetize his efforts.

Are the great ones worth the money? Can a reasonable person grow to love a good 911 if they don't much like the things to begin with?Cliché questions. We hit them here, then go deeper: What do you learn strapping into all that unobtainium?Ross and Sam have some rare wheel hours with Porsche's finest.

Today on another encore episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to three prior guests of the podcast who are talking to us in the boldest experiment in Rarified Heir Podcast history! How so? We are talking to them all at once. Something we had never done before. But don't fret, Carnie Wilson, Jenny Brill and Shawn Kay have been friends for quite a long time and, in fact, they know each other and host Josh Mills from as far back as elementary school. There are laughs and some tears on this one. Since the time of this recording, sadly we have lost two of the celebrity parents of our guests, as both Mitzi McCall, mother of Jenny Brill and Brian Wilson, father of Carnie Wilson have both passed away as of this encore episode. While it puts things in perspective rather quickly, it also helps us to realize that the entire point of this podcast is to make sure that in this fast paced world, we don't forget the names and stories about some of the most beloved entertainers of the 20th century. And with that in mind, this episode is a rollicking one, a bit experimental as we said but also fast paced, filled with childhood memories and what it was like not only growing up the child of a celebrity but also with friends whose parents were also celebrities. We get into some ridiculous tales about the Oakwood school where they all met, insane stories about album jackets as modes of transportation and a nostalgic trip down a very 1970s memory lane. Which begs the question, just how did the children of Mitzi McCall, Charlie Brill, John Kay, Brian Wilson and Marilyn Wilson get along? In a word? Famously. Take a listen.

Love constrains. Since the Sixties at least, "love" has been used to excuse all kinds of harmful behavior. "Free love" was a popular cliché then. "Love is love" something you might hear today. But real love lives in harmony with the Law of God. And it restricts our choices to those that actually help other people. In 1 Corinthians, Paul was teaching that church about the nature and supremacy of love.

Nick Bromell is the author of By the Sweat of the Brow: Labor and Literature in Antebellum American Culture and Tomorrow Never Knows: Rock and Psychedelics in the Sixties, both published by the University of Chicago Press. His articles and essays on African American literature and political thought have appeared in American Literature, American Literary History, Political Theory, Raritan, and The Sewanee Review. He teaches at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and he blogs at thetimeisalwaysnow.org. Nick Bromell's book is a work of intellectual history and political theory that places Black thinkers—writers, activists, and artists—at the center of American democratic thought. He argues that African American intellectual traditions have continually reshaped the meaning of democracy in the U.S., offering critiques and visions that go beyond the frameworks typically emphasized in mainstream political philosophy. The title, taken from James Baldwin's writings, reflectsthe idea that democracy is never finished—it is always urgent and ongoing.The Time is Always Now: Black Political Thought and the Transformation of U.S. Democracy (Oxford UP, 2013) posits that Black thought epitomizes the crucible of American Democratic theory Bromell contends that African American thinkers are not simply responding to oppression but actively producing political theory—ideasabout freedom, justice, equality, and collective life. Their insights emerge from lived experiences of slavery, segregation,and racial inequality, which provide a unique vantage point for critiquing American democracy.Secondly, Democracy is an ongoing and incomplete project of reconstruction, renewal, and revival. Building on Baldwin's phrase “the time is always now,” Bromell argues that democracy must be constantly reimagined and fought for. Black intellectual traditions highlight democracy's fragility and incompleteness, challenging myths of American exceptionalism.Third, American Democracy exists beyond what are known to be traditional American institutions. While mainstream American political theory often places focus on constitutions, governments, or laws, Black thinkers and citizens emphasize affective, relational, and cultural dimensions of democracy—dimensions that exhibit and feature American virtues and values of community, solidarity, and recognition.Fourth, Professor Bromell calls for a vibrant relational empathy and mutual recognition. In this sense, Bromell highlights Black thought's insistence on recognition of shared humanity and mutual vulnerability as the foundation for democraticpractice. Thinkers as varied as James Baldwin, Frederick Douglass, Martin Luther King Jr, Toni Morrison, and Ralph Ellison stress the necessity of empathy as a civic virtue. Bromell reframes African American intellectual history as politicaltheory, not just cultural or social commentary. He challenges readers to recognize that the deepest resources fordemocratic renewal in America come from traditions forged under conditions of racial oppression. Ultimately The Time is Always Now insists that democracy is less about stable American institutions and more about the practice of bettering and refining incipient features of American institutions-facing each other honestly, acknowledging and shouldering of collective pain, and being committed to a shared mutual recognition of the totality of our collective experience.

Paying tribute to the classic no-sex sex comedies from the late '50s and early '60s, Down With Love is a wonderful, bright, kitschy romcom classic that seems to be well regarded, if not completely well remembered.Renee Zellweger (fresh from Chicago) and Ewan McGregor (fresh from Moulin Rouge) tackle roles similar to those made famous by girl-next-door-turned-sex-symbol Doris Day and serious-actor-turned-romantic-lead Rock Hudson, in a genuinely wonderful pastiche to their movies Pillow Talk (1959), Lover Come Back (1961) and Send Me No Flowers (1964). (I watched Pillow Talk as part of my prep for this episode, and I have to say it's a truly delightful movie and Doris Day is incredible in it! Please watch it if you can!)Down With Love is so impressive in its desire to not only be set in the sixties, but also to be filmed like it were filmed in the Sixties. It's meant to look like it was filmed in Technicolor. The thought that went into it is insane, from authentic props and vintage fabrics for costuming, to wanting the sets to actually look just like sets. Down With Love is not a film steeped in realistic depictions of 1962 New York. It's meant to look wonky. It relishes, and adores, the world its set in. The entire cast look like they're having the best time ever.I just wish more people knew of it...
