In this episode, we embark to Mars with John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars—a film where possessed miners, leather-bound space cops, and Ice Cube fight for survival. Join The Dale, Cera, and Twan as we discuss what went wrong, what (surprisingly) went right, and why Martian ghosts are really into body modification. Is it an underrated sci-fi horror or John Carpenter's worst film?
Bad Company hit the scene in 1974 in a big way. Signed to Led Zeppelin's Swan Song label and managed by Peter Grant, the supergroup composed of Paul Rodgers (Free), Mick Ralphs (Mott the Hoople), Boz Burrell (King Crimson) and Simon Kirke (Free) had a huge success with their self-titled debut which would go on to sell 5 million in the US. Many bands struggle to follow up a big debut with an equally good second effort but Bad Company weren't rookies and had made over a dozen albums individually. The question was how would the songwriting partnership of Ralphs and Rodgers develop and would any of them as individuals emerge as the lead songwriter. While not many will tell you Straight Shooter is as good or better than the debut, it is a solid rock record. Chart hits Feel Like Makin' Love and Good Lovin' Gone Bad got them all over the airwaves and Rodgers Shooting Star would go onto become a classic rock radio staple. They even showed their tender side with Simon Kirke's Weep No More (accompanied by strings) and Anna. Heavy riffs from Deal With The Preacher and the innuendo of Wild Fire Woman help round the album into an album that showed Bad Company had staying power and could deliver the goods. Released March 28, 1975, it would go on to sell 3 million in the US. Do you think Bad Company deserves to be in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame? We do!!!

In this episode we're joined by music-biz legend Danny Goldberg to discuss his dealings with Led Zeppelin and Kurt Cobain — and the school days he spent with the great Gil Scott-Heron. Danny takes us back to his short-lived stint at Berkeley and his first port of call on returning to his native New York: clerking at trade bible Billboard, a job that led to the publication of his report on 1969's Woodstock festival. From there we jump to the three years our guest spent working for Led Zep — first as their press agent, then as V-P of their label Swan Song. We revisit the band's conquest and domination of '70s America and hear hair-raising tales of Page, Plant, Bonzo, Peter Grant and Richard Cole... as well as Danny's 1976 exit from the band's dark vortex. The story of how Nirvana came to be managed by Danny's company Gold Mountain prompts thoughts on Kurt Cobain and mention of the 2019 memoir (Serving the Servant) our guest wrote about him. Danny brings his management and record-label story up to date by previewing the new album by his clients the Waterboys. The week's new audio interview takes us back to the '60s and to Danny's reminiscences of the young Gil Scott-Heron, who can be heard talking in 1978 to Mark "Radio Pete" Bliesener. The second of two clips — about Richard Nixon — brings us to the shocking present moment of Donald Trump's and Elon Musk's unprecedented assault on American democracy. After a tribute to the departed Marianne Faithfull — heard talking about the brilliant Broken English album in a short audio clip from 2014 — Jasper quotes from a 2023 Simon Reynolds article about A.I. and music journalism. Pieces discussed: Woodstock: Peace Mecca, Led Zeppelin: Under The Hood – A Backstage Chronicle of the Historic 1975 Tour, Led Zeppelin: Danny Goldberg's Hideaway, Danny Goldberg: Serving the Servant – Remembering Kurt Cobain (Ecco), Gil Scott-Heron audio (1978), Growing Up With Gil Scott-Heron: In Loving Memory, Marianne Faithfull audio (2014) and I'm a Noted Music Critic. Can A.I. Do My Job?.

The idea of the "swan song" recurs from Aesop to Ovid to Plato to Tennyson. Ovid described it, "There, she poured out her words of grief, tearfully, in faint tones, in harmony with sadness, just as the swan sings once, in dying, its own funeral song." But it's based on a sweet fallacy – that a swan sings only when it nears death. And calling the sounds that a swan makes a "song" might be a bit off, too!More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.

This week Dave and Jeff are back to Ovid for a couple more vignettes! The guys start with the bizarre tale of Erysichthon (the "Earth-Ripper") who lives up to his name by lumberjacking a sacred grove of Ceres. But why? Is this a prescient Lorax pre-boot? A morality play about late-stage capitalism? Or ust a guy who desperately wanted that Rumpus Room house addition? We're starving for answers. Then it's on to Cycnus ("Swany") and his fateful encounter with Achilles on the plains of Troy. Has Achilles met his match with someone as nearly "invincible" as he is, and who talks as much smack? How does this "win" of Achilles set the stage for his own demise? Of the three Cynci known in myth, why is this li'l cygnet the only who gets the full-fledged Metamorphoses treatment? Also, don't miss guest spots by Swan Carlos, Mr. T, and Stuart Little. I pity the fool who doesn't tune in!

Jimmy Page was in rough shape by the end of Led Zeppelin. His addictions had ravaged his body and he didn't contribute nearly as much to 1979's In Through The Out Door as he did all previous Zeppelin records. After the death of John Bonham, Jimmy fulfilled his obligations to release Coda, provided the soundtrack to Death Wish 2 as a favor to his neighbor and embarked on a brief fundraiser tour with lots of legends - The ARMS Tour. But he hadn't been very creative and wasn't keeping himself in match shape. After spending some time with his Swan Song brother Paul Rodgers (Free, Bad Company), he concocted a plan to put together a new supergroup for the 80s. WIth Rodgers handling vocal and primary songwriter duties, Jimmy also enlisted Chris Slade (Tom Jones, Manfred Mann's Earth Band, AC/DC, UAWIL #91 guest) and "The Fretless Monster" Tony Franklin who he worked with on Roy Harper's album Whatever Happened to Jugula? This powerful lineup was to be the vehicle that would rejuvenate Jimmy Page and put him back on the road to superstardom. However, Page's contributions weren't what fans had come to expect from the guitar hero and it seemed that Jimmy was a bit out of place in a world dominated by MTV. Single Radioactive was an AOR hit and showcased a bit of what the band could do, ultimately helping their self-titled debut to gold status in the US. But most of the album is uneven and Page isn't showing up with the killer solos that were his calling card. However, Tony Franklin is an absolute monster on this record, filling in the gaps that Page leaves between his flourishes and playing well off the ever steady Slade. While Rodgers vocals are as strong as ever, his songwriting doesn't quite live up to the standard of his previous bands. It was a solid debut which led to a strong sophomore effort in Mean Business (1986) but because it celebrates it's 40th on February 11, 2025, we thought we'd take a hard look at The Firm and why it didn't hit the heights we all hoped it would Check out our new website: Ugly American Werewolf in London Website Visit our sponsor RareVinyl.com and use the code UGLY to save 10%!

Send us a textIt's the end of the year again, which means it's the end of the season… our 5th season! And while it is customary for us to take a look back at the years work we have put out, this year we will also be looking back at 5 years of doing the podcast, because this years edition of our Year In Review, will also be the last time Co-Host Matt Borders joins us. After 5 years behind the microphone, Matt will be stepping away from the show, and instead of mourning the departure of such an immense talent and historian, we will celebrate his time and contributions with us, and send him off as friends! It's been a wild and unexpectedly wonderful ride and we look forward to continuing that adventure into next season, but for now let's get nostalgic and have some fun with Matty B one last time!

Right-wing Christian worship leader Zach Radcliff charged with child sex crimesThe Friendly Atheist, By Hemant Mehta, on Oct 23, 2024https://www.friendlyatheist.com/p/right-wing-christian-worship-leaderThe discussion highlights yet another scandal involving sexual abuse within a religious institution, this time focusing on Michigan's Liber University and its ties to a former student and church member, Zachary Radcliffe. Radcliffe, once celebrated as a successful Liberty University alumnus, is now facing multiple charges of child sexual abuse, including using online communication to exploit minors. Despite these serious charges, church leaders have distanced themselves from the issue, failing to acknowledge it in services while continuing to condemn others outside their circles, particularly targeting the LGBTQ+ community.The conversation touches on the troubling history of religious institutions that have protected abusers, citing examples from various denominations and religious figures. There's a deep frustration expressed about how churches often avoid transparency and accountability, using their hierarchical structures and conservative values as shields that foster environments where predators can operate. These protections not only allow abusers to hide but also enable them to move from church to church, continuing harmful patterns without interference.Panelists argue that the Purity Culture propagated within such churches may even contribute to these issues. By suppressing natural expressions of sexuality and demonizing certain behaviors, these institutions create psychological stress that can lead to the abusive release of suppressed urges. Furthermore, power dynamics within the church allow leaders to exploit vulnerable individuals, especially children, while often escaping scrutiny due to their perceived moral authority.The problem of victim-blaming within these religious communities is emphasized, where victims are often shamed while abusers are portrayed as repentant sinners deserving of forgiveness. This attitude silences victims, leaving them afraid to come forward for fear of ostracization or further victimization by their own community. The culture within these conservative spaces often upholds an idealized image of the church, minimizing or concealing the abusive actions of those in power.The discussion extends to societal issues, with a critique of how certain demographics—predominantly white, conservative men in high-ranking religious roles—repeatedly surface as abusers. There's a consensus that societal privilege often enables such individuals to evade justice or face minimal consequences, which only perpetuates the cycle of abuse within these organizations. The hosts express outrage over the leniency given to religious institutions, arguing that such environments are no longer safe or justifiable places for children.To address these issues, the panel suggests several interventions, including improving education for children on personal safety, encouraging parents to report suspicious behavior, and creating support systems outside of the church for those who do come forward. The dialogue concludes with a strong condemnation of religious institutions that prioritize reputation and tradition over moral accountability, stressing the need for genuine, self-derived morality rather than one dictated by religious texts that seem to enable and protect abuse rather than prevent it.The Non-Prophets, Episode 23.45.1 featuring Phoebe Rose, AJ, Cynthia and Jonathan RoudabushBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.
