James “Cornbread” Harris, Sr. is a living legend. At 97 years old, the rock ‘n' roll pioneer still plays weekly gigs in Minneapolis. Harris is not only known for shaping the Minnesota music scene, but as the father of famous music producer Jimmy Jam.In her new book, music journalist Andrea Swensson takes on the 70-year journey of Harris making music, from his first gig during world war two to putting Minneapolis on the music map in the 1980s to playing in bars even today. Swensson joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer to discuss the making of the book “Deeper Blues: The Life, Songs and Salvation of Cornbread Harris” which comes out Aug.12.
The 40th anniversary of Prince's best-selling album and film “Purple Rain” is next month on June 25 and 27 respectively. And on Tuesday, a new memorabilia- and picture-filled book will be released in honor of the occasion: “Prince and Purple Rain: 40 Years.”Prince's story is told by Minneapolis-based music journalist Andrea Swensson, who is also the host of the Official Prince Podcast, a Minnesota Book Award winner and former host of the Current's Local Show. A long-time reporter on Prince and the Minnesota music beat, she calls her new book a “love letter” to his legacy.It all began in 2014 when Swensson assembled a 30th-anniversary package for MPR News and the Current.“And that really started this whole Prince adventure that I've been on over the last decade,” Swensson told MPR News on Monday.“I started covering his career so closely when he was still with us and have done a lot of work around his legacy since we lost him. And I really wanted to take this opportunity to put together something that captured so many of these amazing stories about him, and really spoke to my own personal connection to his music and to his life and what he meant to me.” April 2017 Remembering Prince at his home and studio October 2017 Andrea Swensson tells the story of the 'Minneapolis Sound' in first book Swensson describes the era of “Purple Rain” as iconic and world-building, calling the watershed film unrivaled in rock history. Prince's influence, she said, is almost impossible to untangle from the fabric of the music industry over the last 40 years. 'Prince and Purple Rain: 40 Years' Swensson says she has interviewed each member of The Revolution — Bobby Z, BrownMark, Dr. Fink, Lisa Coleman and Wendy Melvoin — at least three times.“He wanted us to be a gang … and by the time we got to ‘Purple Rain,' we were,” drummer Bobby Z recalls in the book. Bassist BrownMark affirmed: “We were experts … The way we rehearsed, I mean, ‘Purple Rain,' I could fall asleep and probably play it. That's how well we knew the whole set.”“We've had some really, really memorable conversations,” Swensson said. “This was such a pivotal time in all of their lives. Wendy Melvoin was only 19-years-old when she joined Prince's band. And her very first show is the night that they played at First Avenue and recorded ‘Purple Rain.'”The book was put together and contributed to by a hyperlocal team, including photography from Greg Helgeson, Tommy Smith III and Nancy Bundt; private archivist Rich Benson; designers Sotera Tschetter and Cindy Laun; editor Dennis Pernu and art director Heather Godin. It's filled with evocative photography, images of ticket stubs, posters and vinyl records, reflective quotes and iconic lyrics — transporting the reader back to the summer of 1984.Writing the tribute conjured up some unexpected emotions for Swenson.“There was something therapeutic to me about being able to revisit that meeting that I had with him because we did talk a lot about his feelings about anniversaries ... At the time that we met, he had two new albums in the can he was getting ready to put out,” she said. “So there was something really poignant and a little bittersweet to me to really sit with my notes and my memories of that night and be able to write about it in this way. And it did feel like some kind of full circle moment.”“Prince and Purple Rain: 40 Years,” including a foreword by Maya Rudolph, debuts on May 21. There is a book release party on June 12 at Electric Fetus in Minneapolis; a pre-order is required.

Swensson says Black artists told her they had to form racially integrated bands with white musicians as a form of survival. Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/sound/

Pete tricks Tom Cruise into being interviewed on a Channel 5 daytime TV show. We watch Nic Cage overact his way through 1990's 'Fire Birds' (also known as 'Wings of the Apache'). Finally, we use the time phone to speak to Christopher Columbus as he discovers the new world. SHOW NOTES Thomas Cruise (born Thomas Cruise Mapother IV; July 3, 1962) is an American actor and film producer. He has received several accolades for his work, including three Golden Globe Awards and nominations for three Academy Awards. Cruise is one of the best-paid actors in the world, and his films have grossed over $4 billion in North America and over $10.1 billion worldwide, making him one of the highest-grossing box-office stars of all time.

Edwards, Nick Thiel and uncredited David Taylor. The film stars Nicolas Cage, Tommy Lee Jones and Sean Young. Cage is cast as a helicopter pilot attempting to help dismantle a drug cartel in South America. Jones plays his pilot instructor and senior ranked military officer during his flight training, while Young portrays his love interest.
