With Julia Chiapella and Dion O'Reilly, Roxi Power discusses the just-published anthology she co-edited, Winter in America (Again: Poets Respond to 2024 Election (Carbonation Press 2025) with 100+ amazing poets. This urgent, lightning-fast book was a collaborative effort by 8 editors between election and inauguration day to capture feelings about and implications of this critical election. The call asked for compassionate but courageous poems that transform readers through visionary rather than didactic language. Editors Katie Sarah Zale, Paul E. Nelson, allia abdullah-matta, Gabriella Gutiérrez y Muhs, Robert Lashley, Roxi Power, CChristy White, and Theresa Whitehill spent long days over the holidays choosing a wide range of poems reflecting the editors' different poetics as well as national and international diversity of region, identity, style, and issues affected by this historic election including immigration, reproductive rights, climate change, white supremacy, and more. Publisher Greg Bem made the project happen fast. Along with our own poems, we discuss poems in the book written on election night “as the map turned red”, including “Election Night Blues” by Cassandra Atherton and Paul Hetherington; a poem about self-care and healing, “the-bigger-picture” by Dana Teen Lomax; and a poem by Martín Espada about freedom-seeking children playing soccer in detention camps.  Order Winter in America (Again here.  Listen to readings from our 1/19 and 1/20 launches on KPFK Pacifica Radio in Los Angeles, on Bibliocracy with Andrew Tonkovich on 4 Thursdays at 2:30, starting Feb. 5.  Join us at our launch events in Seattle (Feb. 4, Seattle U.); Tucson (Feb. 15, Gallery of Food;  San Francisco (March 1, Et Al and summer TBA, City Lights Bookstore), Los Angeles AWP (March 27, CSU-Los Angeles); Santa Cruz (April 1, Bookshop Santa Cruz and April 15, Inter Act, Satori Arts), Lit Balm Interactive Livestream (April 26 & 27 2pm EST), & more.

Legendary keyboardist, songwriter and one half of one of the most important duos of our time, Brian Jackson joins us to reflect on his extraordinary career with music partner Gil Scott-Heron and their landmark album, Winter in America, which illustrates both the joys and plights of black life at a time when America was in the throes of political and social turmoil. The influential musician helps unpack the group's biggest selling album and its significance 50 years later.

Gil Scott-Heron gilt als einer der Gründerväter des Hip-Hop, der ab Beginn der 70er Jahre mit seinen Spoken Word Lyrics großen Einfluss auf die entstehende Rap-Musik hatte. Vor 50 Jahren ist sein 5. Studioalbum "Winter in America" erschienen, auf dem er seine Langzeit-Kollaboration mit dem Pianisten und Arrangeur Brian Jackson fortsetzt. (superfly.fm)

Historian and writer Dan McClure returns to the Trap for a talk about his incredible new book Winter in America: A Cultural History of Neoliberalism, from the Sixties to the Reagan Revolution, which explores how the cruel economic principles we call “neoliberalism” found currency in popular culture in the years since the Vietnam War, delivering us into a nightmare world that protects capital and liquidates democracy.

John Schumann of Redgum fame joins us to reflect on the role of protest songs, especially in times like these, given that protest songs are often rooted in a particular time and place.

Oh, and here's our index of all episode in one concise page   Running Sheet: John Schumann on protest songs in times like these00:00:00 Intro Introduction to the show. 00:04:20 SA Drink Of The Week The SA Drink Of The Week is 2015 Pikes The Merle Riesling, tasting with Andrew Pike. 00:11:20 John Schumann In 2017, John Schumann teamed up with Shane Howard to co-write a modern protest song, Times Like These. Apart from the sense of frustration in the lyrics about how previously hard won gains are disappearing by degrees, there's a haunting line in it that has spooked me, given that I'm now in my second decade as a marketer who teaches businesses how to use social media: From Dondale to Manus Island detention People are drowning in a sea of inattention This society is so fraught with and saturated by things of distraction, I wonder if protest songs are ever going to have potency ever again. So, I've asked John Schumann to reflect on this with me. John, I want to trawl back through some of your protest songs produced with Redgum, and get your reflections on other protest songs of note, but let's start with an experience I had this morning, when I went to YouTube to relisten to TImes Like These. They say that protest songs thrive within a social and temporal context (time and place), that's what gives them meaning and power, so how's this. Your song was not able to play until I'd been subjected to a cheery ad for Target, coaxing me to buy some glittering toys, and then a health insurance ad wooing me to switch to them with the offer of waiving waiting times for claiming extras. I think I got my daily allowance of irony. Could Bob Dylan's Blowing In The Wind get cut through in Times Like These? And when are Times Like These NOT times like these. For example, we hear of people protesting the invention of the printing press, saying books will wear out our brains, we hear of ancient Roman  writers lamenting "today's youth", and then we hear songs from back in the 70s like Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron with lyrics like: Seem like winter in America And ain't nobody fighting, Because nobody knows what to save Are all times as good or as bad as all other times, which begs the question, do we need protest songs at all - or do they give us something to occupy ourselves with, like throwing a bone to a dog? You and I both saw a show at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival recently, The Art Of Protest, starring Vince Jones. My feeling at the time as a Vince Jones fan, was that there was a dissonance between Jone's smooth and polished voice and exquisite jazz accompaniment, and the heart-rending nature of some of the protest songs he played. Are there some key ingredients for a protest song to work, eg, the style of voice and music, as much as the content? There was nuance in the name of Jones' show - the Art Of Protest. Art suggests that artists CHOOSE to do a protest song. Am I just naive to think that "real" protests songs are songs that emerge because there is NO OTHER CHOICE, vs making a decision to do something from the protest genre just like a pop genre? Should there be a price paid by singing or writing protest songs? Can you take us through the chemistry and the road map that led you and Redgum to write and produce some pretty bitter and frustrated songs? What did you ever hope to achieve with any of your songs that might be classed protest songs, such as I Was Only 19? And do you start with an agenda, or do you just have something to say and let the cards fall where they may? In a recent episode of Blind Insights with David Olney, they quoted a former PM of Australia saying: We will tolerate dissent, as long as it is ineffective. Does that wind you, to hear that? Does that make the protest enterprise futile? Most important protest songs? Advice to any young Redgums today? 01:03:56 Musical Pilgrimage In the musical pilgrimage, we have a fitting song from John Schumann and the Vagabond Crew, featuring Shane Howard, called Times Like These.

If you thought that Munch My Benson would approach the hour-and-a-half-long Season 14 premiere mega-sode "Lost Reputation/Above Suspicion" with a pithy plot reconstruction and a few succinct comments, you were sorely mistaken. This televised love song to Dann Florek provided so much material for Josh and Adam that it had to be broken up into roughly equal parts. This week's topics include GamerGate, a Meadow Soprano drinking game, obscure Haitian rums, tulpas, Henry Winkler, and, of course, an in-depth history of the wizened, hairline-challenged, not-quite-leading men of television.

This is about Gill Scott-Heron's Life; his Musical expression and the Time he lived in. His legacy didn't point to a picture of an upright man and I don't know if he was a G-d fearing man or not. A song on his last CD, "On coming from a broken home", he stated: " Grandma Lily Scott, left suddenly one night and they sent a limo from heaven to take her to G-d, if there is one" Gill's loose life style didn't identify who he truly was. Like Martin L.King, Hon. Elijah Muhammad, The early days of Malcolm Shabazz and Muhammad Ali and many, many others who left a great impact on society. Sin is not what qualifies one for the punishment of G-d. in the Afterlife. Punishment comes when the sin outweigh or is greater than your good contributions. This is the Judgment, The Justice, The scale of Balance. We thank Gill for his positive Contributions and may G-d forgive him his sins a grant him Paradise. Also, to answer his concern about his Grandma Lily and G-d: "YES. THERE IS ONE" Peace.
