26 years ago, before the election of George W. Bush in 2000, I wrote, produced and starred in a show about the history of the campaign song, called "Muckrakers," with the fabulous Linda Kerns.  Given that this bicentennial election season is heating up, I thought it'd be fun to revisit some songs from elections past…Let's look at one from 1856...Some background: in 1854 was “Bleeding Kansas” - a bitter dispute between pro and anti-slavery forces over that territory, which led to the break up of the two major parties and the formation of a new one — THE REPUBLICANS — who vowed to oppose any further extension of slavery. But, THE DEMOCRATIC WINNER OF THE 1856 ELECTION WAS….?Many people consider him the WORST president we've ever had (until now) - because he might have prevented the Civil War, and he blew it. I'll give you a hint: he was a bachelor - girl he was engaged to as a youth committed suicide. One eye was nearsighted, the other far - so he held his head a a funny angle….Got it? He was the quote: “most available, and most unobjectionable JAMES BUCHANAN, former Secretary of State to Polk, who once called him “an able man,” but added that, “he sometimes acts like an old maid.”Nevertheless, Bucky won big! Carried every Southern state, except Maryland and six free states - proving that the majority still put the preservation of the Union above all else. And, that is exactly what Stephen Foster's WHITE HOUSE CHAIR urged the voters to do.

It was the morning after the 2016 U.S. presidential election, and pianist Lara Downes was catching a flight from California to Kentucky, where she was set to perform later in the evening. “It was a very weird day to be anywhere,” she recalls.That night, she performed songs from her album America Again in Louisville, a city that mirrored the country's own jagged political divide. Coming from California, Downes expected Louisville to feel tense after the election.Instead, she found that the music — curated to explore the “American Dream” through the lens of diverse composers like Florence Price and Morton Gould — created a shared space of mourning and hope that transcended the maps on the news. As she played pieces like Price's “Fantasie Nègre” and Gould's “American Caprice,” Downes had a profound realization."I think I learned in that moment how much all of the emotions that we feel about being American — the affection and the nostalgia and the confusion and the sadness and the anger — all of it really is expressed in the music,” she says. That idea — music as a shared emotional language — continues to shape Downes' work today. In May, she brought an all-star cast of musicians to UC Berkeley's Zellerbach Hall to join her on her newest project, This Land: Reflections on America. Alongside folk icon Judy Collins, poet Tarriona "Tank" Ball, the Austin-based string and bluegrass quartet Invoke, and the Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir, she performed songs like the traditional African American spiritual “This Little Light Of Mine,” Paul Simon's “America” and Stephen Foster's “Hard Times Come Again No More.”The performance reflects Downes' ongoing effort to explore what it means to be American through music — a question that also led her to create The Declaration Project, a national initiative tied to the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States. For the project, Downes spent two years traveling the country to ask Americans from all backgrounds what “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” means to them today.In this episode of Berkeley Talks, Downes joins NPR's Chloe Veltman in a pre-concert talk to discuss how music isn't just a performance, but a common language to explore the American experience.The May 9 performance and pre-concert talk were part of Cal Performances' Illuminations: Exile and Sanctuary series and marked the final performance of the season. Learn more about Cal Performances' upcoming 2026-27 programming.The musical selections featured in this episode are from This Land: Reflections on America, performed by Lara Downes and guest artists.

From the April 2, 1945, Lux Radio Theatre broadcast of "Swanee River," here is Dennis Morgan, playing Stephen Foster, trying to sell a song to E. P. Christy, played by Al Jolson. The song, "Oh, Susanna," is one of Foster's enduring hits.

I grew up in a musical home, sort of. Neither of my parents played any instruments, but music was quite important to them. This came out primarily in their love of hymns and gospel songs. They also had what was in those days called a HiFI, and the playing of records was common—gospel, hymns, Gilbert & Sullivan, and folk songs. No, no, not Bob Dylan . . . more like Stephen Foster....I had a few short stints in some choirs—one at church, and the other one with my public school. I enjoyed it, but nothing earth-shaking For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/

Guest Speaker Stephen Foster, Senior Pastor of St Aldates, Oxford, speaks from John 21 about the dangers of comparing ourselves with others, and how following Jesus helps us overcome unhealthy comparison in our lives.

In this episode, Stephen Foster speaks on how we can play our part in making our churches and cities the greatest places in the world to love.

Stephen leads St Aldate's in Oxford, having originally worked as a successful barrister in London. What is going on there these days is profoundly encouraging, with many folks encountering God and coming to faith on a weekly basis.

Stephen Foster is the leader of St Aldates Church in Oxford, a dynamic and expanding community with a diverse congregation of young adults, students, and families. Stephen holds a law degree from Oxford and a theology degree from Cambridge, reflecting both his academic prowess and spiritual dedication. Before entering full-time ministry, he worked as a barrister in the UK, gaining extensive experience in criminal defense.Episode Summary:Rebecca speaks with Stephen Foster, the leader of St Aldates Church in Oxford, to discuss the intriguing question: Is Jesus believable at Oxford? With Stephen's dynamic background in both law and theology, he offers unique insights on the compatibility of faith with rigorous academic pursuits.Together they explore how the modern world, particularly in academic centers, is experiencing a resurgent curiosity in Christianity, despite running parallel to vastly secular ideologies. They reflect on the increasing spiritual quests among Gen Z, contrasting it with previous generations' post-Christian perspectives. This episode invites listeners to reconsider entrenched notions about faith in the face of evidence that suggests a vibrant interest in exploring Jesus and Christianity.Key Takeaways:Christianity is experiencing a resurgence of interest among young adults, even within elite academic environments like Oxford.There is a noticeable shift from a post-Christian to a pre-Christian context, where people have little knowledge of the gospel yet show deep curiosity.The interaction between faith and academic disciplines, such as theoretical physics, is explored, revealing a surprising harmony and intellectual grounding.Modern societal crises have catalyzed a spiritual openness, with many seeking truth and meaning beyond secular constructs.Spiritual exploration is palpable among younger generations, who are increasingly predisposed to discovering faith in Jesus.Notable Quotes:"In a post-Christian context, people are inoculated with enough of the message of the gospel to immunize them against its power." - Stephen Foster"The gospel is not a virus, but there's a natural virality to the gospel." - Stephen Foster"We desperately need to have truth, and if you don't, you have no defense against power grabs." - Stephen FosterResources:Follow Stephen on InstagramSign up for weekly emails at RebeccaMcLaughlin.org/SubscribeFollow Confronting Christianity:Instagram | XPurchase Rebecca's Books:Confronting Christianity: 12 Hard Questions for the World's Largest ReligionDoes the Bible Affirm Same-Sex Relationships?: Examining 10 Claims about Scripture and Sexuality10 Questions Every Teen Should Ask (and Answer) about ChristianityJesus though the Eyes of Women: How the First Female Disciples Help Us Know and Love the LordNo Greater Love: A Biblical Vision for FriendshipConfronting Jesus: 9 Encounters with the Hero of the GospelsAmazon affiliate links are used where appropriate.
