Podcast appearances and mentions of Woody Guthrie

Brooklyn-born Elliott Charles Adnopoz had only just started calling himself “Ramblin' Jack” in the early 1950s when he came upon a new hero in the wilds of San Francisco.This was a couple years after Elliott had met in his first and most influential mentor — the legendary singer/songwriter/poet Woody Guthrie — whose work and philosophy would shape the 20-something Jack's long life as an itinerant folksinger.Enter Lone CatA few years after Woody, Elliott rambled all the way across the country and met an extraordinary 60-year-old one-man band by the name of Jesse “Lone Cat” Fuller who was playing on the streets and in the coffeehouses of California's Bay Area.Jesse, taking a liking to the eager young wanderer, personally taught Jack his best composition — “San Francisco Bay Blues” — just a few years after he had written and recorded it himself.To this day, Jack Elliott — who just last month turned 94 and is still traveling and performing — makes Fuller's tune a centerpiece in his set list, often introducing it with stories about the song's creator.As the first performer to cover the tune after Fuller's original recording, Elliott included the song on his 1958 album, Jack Takes the Floor. That track played a crucial role in popularizing “San Francisco Bay Blues” during the burgeoning folk revival of the 1960s. After Jack's take, the tune entered the canon of many an up-and-coming trouper, from Tom Rush to Richie Havens to Peter, Paul and Mary.Since then, the song has had an extraordinarily diverse number of covers, by Bob Dylan and Jim Kweskin, by Jim Croce and The Weavers, by Hot Tuna and Janis Joplin.Even The Beatles faked a version of it during the Get Back/Let it Be sessions on Jan. 14, 1969. Later John Lennon recorded an unreleased version during his Imagine sessions in May 1971, while McCartney performed it often during his solo concerts in San Francisco. It is still played frequently at Paul's soundchecks around the world.Eric Clapton performed the song on MTV Unplugged in 1992 during the taping in England. The live album earned six Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year. How Jack Began to RambleBack to Jack, Elliott's life took many turns before he embraced music. Born in New York in 1931, Jack grew up in a family that hoped he would follow his father's example and go into medicine.But young Elliott was captivated by rodeos and the cowboy life, attending events at Madison Square Garden. At just 15, he rebelled. Running away from home, he joined Colonel Jim Eskew's Rodeo, a journey that took him across the Mid-Atlantic states.Though his rodeo stint lasted only three months, the experience was formative. After he learned guitar and some banjo from a singing cowboy rodeo clown named Brahmer Rogers, Jack was on the path to a music career.Back in Brooklyn, he polished his guitar playing and then started busking for a living. It was just a little later that Jack became a devoted student and admirer of famed folkie Woody Guthrie. Elliott even lived in the Guthrie home for two years.Jack absorbed Guthrie's style of playing and singing so well that Woody himself once remarked, "He sounds more like me than I do."About That NameOne story about Jack is that his iconic nickname didn't relate so much to his wanderlust as to his storytelling acumen.The late folk singer Odetta always contended that it was her mother who coined the name. "Oh, Jack Elliott,” she was said to have remarked, “yeah, he can sure ramble on!"Jack's Musical OffspringIn the early 1960s, Elliott toured Britain and Europe with banjo-picking buddy Derroll Adams, recording several albums for Topic Records. In London, the two played small clubs and West End cabarets.Upon returning to the States a couple years later, Elliott found that his albums had preceded him. Suddenly, he had become something of an underground star in the nascent folk music scene around Greenwich Village. Now he was the mentor to newcomers, most notably to a 19-year-old Bob Dylan, who had just hit town. Bob came such a “Ramblin' Jack” fixture that some started calling him “son of Jack.”Over the years, Jack influenced a generation of musicians, from Phil Ochs and Tom Rush to the Grateful Dead. In the UK, Paul McCartney, Elton John and Rod Stewart all have paid tribute to his style. But it took a few more decades for Elliott to finally get widespread recognition. His 1995 album, South Coast, earned him his first Grammy. In 1998, he received the National Medal of Arts from President Bill Clinton.His long life and career were chronicled in the 2000 documentary, The Ballad of Ramblin' Jack, directed and produced by his daughter, Aiyana Elliott.Back to the SongHonestly, we don't remember when we first started doing Jesse Fuller's “San Francisco Bay Blues.” It was back when we were youngsters at those good old folk music parties in the ‘60s. A decade later, the tune was firmly entrenched when The Flood came together. And we were still playing it in 2001 when we recorded our first album, on which it's the closing track. That was a good call, because we often use this song to close out a show, since it gives everybody in the band one more solo before we call it a night, as you can hear in this take from last week's rehearsal.

A river is the most powerful force in nature—and blocking one is the boldest act a human can attempt. In this episode of Rainy Day Rabbit Holes, we dive into the colossal story of the Grand Coulee Dam: a project born in the desperation of the Great Depression, built with sweat and sacrifice, and shadowed by broken promises. From Hoovervilles to hydroelectric power, boomtown brothels to Woody Guthrie ballads, and even the secret connection between the dam and the atomic bomb, this is history at its most epic and unsettling. We’ll explore the triumphs, tragedies, and the question that lingers today: who really paid the price for progress?   ✨ And don’t miss the end of the episode—we’ve got a brand new piece of Patreon fan fiction, starring one of our amazing supporters!

Sojourner Truth plied the Hudson for 20 years Over seven decades, the Clearwater and Woody Guthrie have sailed the Hudson, amplifying folk singer and Beacon resident Pete Seeger's passionate call to clean up the river and make it more accessible. The iconic sloops are part of Seeger's legacy, but what has largely faded from the collective memory is a third boat he inspired, Sojourner Truth, which carried out his environmental mission for two decades before being destroyed in a storm. Like the Woody Guthrie, the Sojourner Truth was a replica of the ferry sloops that carried goods and people across the Hudson in the 18th and 19th centuries. By the 1830s, more than 1,000 of the wide, shallow-hulled boats were navigating the river. "Pete was an enthusiast for ferry sloops and after failing to convince people to build one, he decided to pay for the Woody and Sojourner out of pocket," hoping to inspire other river towns, said James Malchow, a Woody Guthrie captain. Seeger wanted the smaller, affordable, volunteer-led sloops to carry out Clearwater's environmental mission. "Pete saw the ferry sloops as an organizing tool - a way to get people to work together," Malchow said. Seeger and his wife, Toshi, are credited with naming the Sojourner Truth, an homage to the former enslaved woman from Ulster County who during the 19th century advocated abolition, temperance, civil rights and women's rights. The sloop's hull was built in 1979 by Ferro Boat Builders in Annapolis, Maryland, using a mold from the Woody Guthrie. The hull consisted of steel mesh, rebar and concrete, which is less costly than wood and requires less maintenance. The hull was trucked to Eddyville, near Kingston, where Seeger and other volunteers began outfitting the boat until Ferry Sloops, a newly created nonprofit, took over the project in Yonkers and later in Hastings-on-Hudson. Con Edison donated a utility pole that became the 46-foot mast. The local highway department provided yellow paint for the hull. The boom was shaped from Clearwater's original gaff. Seeger, who owned the Woody Guthrie, contributed its spare suit of sails. An inboard motor was donated. The 47-foot Sojourner Truth was launched in August 1981 and, within two years, began appearing at riverfront festivals. Its ports included Hastings-on-Hudson; Alpine, New Jersey; Yonkers; and Croton-on-Hudson. Other than the hull color, the Sojourner Truth was a twin to Woody Guthrie, launched three years earlier. (The Clearwater, launched in 1969, is 106 feet.) In the early 1990s, Sojourner Truth was vandalized while moored at Yonkers. Fire destroyed its sails and damaged the deck, but it was repaired and continued to sail. Its volunteer crew numbered from four to eight and the sloop, which could hold a dozen passengers, offered sailor training, venturing as far north as Albany and as far south as Sandy Hook, New Jersey. For years until the late 1990s, in October and November, the three sloops sailed the river filled with pumpkins, replicating the work of the 19th-century sloops. Free sails were offered at each port of call, culminating around Halloween at South Street Seaport in New York City, recalled Maryellen Healy, a former Woody Guthrie captain and Clearwater sailor. "It felt like a special moment in time," she said. Sojourner Truth also was a frequent visitor at the Great Hudson River Revival Festival, a celebration of music and the environment co-founded by Seeger and, until recently, held each June at Croton Point Park. Beverly Dyckman, a former Peekskill resident, sailed on Sojourner Truth in the 1980s, training as a crew member. "It was empowering," she said. "I felt freedom, a respite from my worries. When we were zigzagging across the river, slicing into the wind, there was a feeling of power, with water coming up over the rail because we were going so fast." Although Sojourner Truth had a top speed of 7 knots (about 8 miles an hour), Healy has similar memories. "That sounds slow in the auto...

The scariest part of the Dust Bowl is the very small amount we talk about it historically. The need for wheat during WW1 caused the wheat market to double. There was a lot of new agricultural land in the Southern Great Plains. Once the war was over, the government tried to prop up grain prices as best they could. In order to continue making the money they once did, farmers in the Southern Great Plains doubled down purchasing more land, and tearing more of the natural grasses from the earth. Then the Depression happened and prices for wheat bottomed out. Then drought hit the U.S. THEN the winds came. Without the native grasses holding down the top soil, the Great Plains became a literal dust bowl. Some left for California. Some road it out. Some never learned their lesson.

On a cold night in the early 1930s, a young West Virginian named Tom Kromer huddled in a railway boxcar as it rattled westward across the country.Hungry, sleepless and surrounded by other men just trying to make it through the night, Tom braced himself against the trembling boxcar wall and scribbled a few observations on a scrap of paper. Five years later, those notes — scrawled on Bull Durham papers, in the margins of religious tracts in a hundred rescue missions, upon wastepaper scavenged from the cluttered floors of county jails — would become Waiting for Nothing, Kromer's raw, unflinching autobiographical novel that portrayed America's dispossessed during the Great Depression.From HuntingtonTom Kromer's story begins in Huntington, WV, where he was born in 1906. His father, an immigrant who had spent his boyhood in the coal mines, died young from cancer. His mother dreamed that her children would escape that hard life through education, and for a while, it looked as if Tom might. He attended Marshall College (later University) off and on, but never managed to finish. When the stock market crashed in 1929, Tom's tuition ran dry and so did his prospects.The real turning point came when Kromer left school and set out west, hoping for farm work.Finding no work, Tom slipped into a life “on the fritz,” his phrase for years spent as a hobo moving from one town to the next from his West Virginia hills to the California coast. Unlike the romantic drifter of folklore, Kromer was, in his own words, “a tramp of circumstances.” He begged, starved, took shelter where he could. It was not uncommon for him to go days without food. It was brutal. But it also gave him a voice unlike any other.The Novel was BornIn 1935, he published his acclaimed novel Waiting for Nothing. Written in jagged, stark prose, it asked for no pity, offered no sentimentality. Kromer stripped life down to the details of what it took to survive as a “stiff,” lining up at soup kitchens, hopping freights, making the complicated calculations of what a hungry man might do for a meal. Critics compared Kromer's style to Hemingway. His themes were hunger, fear, endurance, and above all, the cruelty of a system that left millions with nothing. He wasn't interested in prettying up the story.Kromer's second novel, Michael Kohler, would have turned to the struggles of working-class families and the violent West Virginia mine wars, but illness stopped him short. Tuberculosis gnawed away at his health, and by the 1940s, he had retreated to New Mexico with his wife, Janet. After her death in Albuquerque in 1960, Tom returned to Huntington, where his sisters cared for him until his own death in 1969.Our Song about TomFor decades, Tom Kromer's name nearly vanished, even in his hometown of Huntington. But now, through the good works of Marshall University English professor Stefan Schöberlein and his Appalachian literature students, Tom's work has been rediscovered and brought to a new generation of students.Reading a recent reprint of Waiting for Nothing, we in The Flood were struck by how Tom's unsentimental eye fixed on the hungry and the forgotten of the Depression Era. Moved by the novel, the band decided to lend its hand in carrying on the Tom Kromer story by writing and recording this ballad to celebrate Huntington's long-forgotten native son.Following the lead of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger and Lead Belly, we set our lyrics to a traditional melody (in this case, a mashup of the thematically appropriate “Tramp on the Street” and the old hymn, “Farther Along”).We hope the song encourages you to learn more about Kromer and his important work. A great way to start learning is to visit the new Thomas Kromer Digital Archive created by Schöberlein and his students, where you can read all of Waiting for Nothing online for free.Click here to reach the archive. And if you'd like to own a printed copy of Tom's novel, that reprint we read is available from Amazon.com. However you choose read Tom Kromer, we think you'll see for yourself that even in the darkest corners, someone can be compassionately paying attention. This is a public episode.

Pop culture/Memoir/autobiography This NEW EDITION contains updates, new information, additional photographs and contributions. This is a significant and very personal book. Dr. Drew Pinsky: "I commend you for having the courage to step up and do it and do it thoroughly and do it properly. I think that's a very good thing." David Carradine, The Eye Of My Tornado has been inducted into the Johnny Grant Hollywood Walk of Fame Library “…it was one long rollercoaster thrill… Mr. Toad's wild ride…intense passion and emotion. He was the eye of my tornado.” Marina Anderson. Marina Anderson was just starting out taking acting lessons at Warner Bros., when she wandered one afternoon onto the candlelit set of a Shaolin temple and met for the first time, the volatile, dark and brilliant personality that was actor and icon, David Carradine. Two dynamic people merging into a karmic-destined, intense and turbulent love relationship. Each struggling with their own demons including sexual abuse and incest. Their private life was replete with love, passion, erotic pleasure and eventually bondage, sexual experimentation, and pain as an avenue to pleasure. Their marriage was marred by a toxic secret that could not be ignored. Her writing speaks to readers universally by focusing on their personal journey, revealing the truth about the couple, addresses conquering fear and overcoming obstacles, self discovery, recovery, re-inventing and rebuilding one's self. It's her personal survival while desperately trying to save the marriage as well as Carradine's constant struggle to be someone he wasn't, but wished he could be. Spirituality, psychic John Edward,other psychics and astrologers who helped her are written about in the book as well. They were married on the Warner Bros. back lot and their six-year relationship was a whirl of auditions, star-studded parties, exotic locations, red carpets and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Marina, who was already an established actress, became Carradine's personal manager and set about rehabilitating the career of an actor who was now known for his heavy drinking. She introduced him to Quentin Tarantino, who cast David in a lead role in the popular Kill Bill films. This vaulted Carradine back onto the Hollywood A-list. After their divorce with the help of re-known celebrity Dr. Drew Pinsky (Celebrity Rehab, Sober House), issues are addressed in the consultation verbatim, occupying an entire chapter. Anderson was able to finally exorcise the demons that have haunted her for so long about their relationship and herself that almost destroyed her. “This book is an avenue for his fans and the general public to know, understand and hopefully accept him as a man, not a celluloid fantasy…to be admired for his talents and the motivations behind certain issues in his life understood. It's also to reveal the very personal interior of a marriage that people can relate to. What we do for love. We are all human beings with our faults. He was afraid people wouldn't remember him. That will never happen. The legend continues.” David Carradine's acting career spanned four decades onstage, television and cinema. He became an international sensation as Kwai Chang Caine in the 1970s hit television series Kung Fu and cemented his cult hero status with his role in the classic movie Death Race 2000. He portrayed Woody Guthrie in Hal Ashby's Bound for Glory and Bill in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill films. Carradine received four Golden Globe nominations. He was a talented songwriter and musician and performed in a band called Cosmic Rescue Team. He died in a Bangkok hotel room, June 3, 2009, an apparent victim of autoerotic asphyxiation. Amid sensational media speculation, Marina refused to let David's death remain stigmatized like it was and launched her own investigation into the death of her ex-husband. Suicide? Foul play? A sex act gone wrong? Was he alone? Was there a cover-up? Her conclusions are startling.  https://amzn.to/45Wn9eUBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

In this episode of Americana Podcast: The 51st State, host Robert Earl Keen heads into the heart of Red Dirt country with none other than Evan Felker, frontman of the Turnpike Troubadours and one of the most compelling songwriters in modern Americana. From the dusty backroads of Oklahoma to the national stage, Felker has built a legacy rooted in grit, grace, and lyrical honesty. His songs, shaped by weathered landscapes and worn-in truths, echo the spirit of legends like Woody Guthrie and Townes Van Zandt, but his voice, and his vision, are unmistakably his own. Together, Robert and Evan talk about Turnpike's celebrated return, the unpredictable path of creativity, and the quiet power of staying true to where you come from. It's a conversation full of craft, conviction, and the kind of insight only earned by living the life behind the lyrics.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit chadcrouch.substack.comThe Columbia River basin is roughly the size of France. The Columbia is the fourth-largest river in the United States by flow, and the largest river emptying into the eastern Pacific Ocean. In the last 90 years, this mighty river has been mightily renovated. The multitude of dams (around 150) in the basin now represent 44% of all US hydro-electric power generation. It all started in the 1930's with the Bonneville Dam, a signature project of The New Deal. The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) was created by Congress to market the power generated by the dam. The agency would grow over the years as more and more dams were built in the basin. My father was hired by BPA around 1970 as an electrical engineer. Within a few short years his salary enabled him to purchase a new home for his young family of four, and a new Ford Mustang for his commute to work from the Portland suburbs. As the 70's drew to a close, my father began climbing a managerial ladder at BPA. Visiting his office was exciting for a kid. At one point it was located on the upper floors of the tallest building on Portland's east side. The cars on the street looked like toys from up there. Elevator rides were a thrill. My sister and I would jump at the first sign its rapid ascent was slowing, elated by the hang time we felt.In 1984 dad moved to a new office, in an even fancier building with a curved facade overlooking the freeway. I distinctly remember him telling me about a modern white noise system that was built in. It made the office seem quieter, he said, by adding sound; a special sound that made background noise less noticeable. Conversations in far-off cubicles couldn't be heard. This puzzled me. It sounded like white noise was black magic. Adding sound, in my experience, was a surefire way to make something— someplace—louder. What exactly he did at work in those years wasn't obvious to me. His white collar job, in his white noise office wasn't tangibly connected to the mechanics of hydro-power or the delivery of electricity into our homes in the Pacific Northwest. Similarly, now a generation removed, my son is both uninterested and unimpressed by my vocation, which amounts to me spending a lot of time in my home office/studio with headphones on, plunking away on a midi keyboard, scrutinizing bands of orange-hued spectrogram stereo files, poking and prodding at them with a mouse in hand.In the words of Woody Guthrie—who was hired by BPA in 1941 to ennoble the burgeoning hydro-electric empire in song—the Columbia rolls on. It rolls on four miles north of our home. Electrons arriving in wires from turbines at Bonneville Dam are converted to LCD light and computational power right here in front of me, enabling, in part, the wonderfully complicated but seemingly straightforward task of drafting this post. It rolls on and I take it for granted. Air conditioning requires a great deal many more electrons, which I'm also currently enjoying, with little thought given to it. While the hydroelectric empire of the Columbia has given the region abundant renewable electricity and supplied it with water to irrigate arid landscapes, it has done so at the cost a once great salmon fishery.Here BPA would say, no it wasn't us. We've helped Salmon. We've spent billions. Look at all our hatcheries and fish ladders. We even transport fish in trucks around our dams. It was the fishermen and canneries who depleted the fishery before the dams were built. On that score, they wouldn't be entirely mistaken. The early 1900's Columbia commercial fishery knew no bounds, and within half a century it brought about its own demise. But to say that salmon and dams can get along hunky-dory, well, that's increasingly hard to fathom.Less than a year ago, three hundred miles to the south, a campaign of dam removals was concluded on the Klamath River. The basin is still far from its pre-Euro-American state, but it was is a big move for restoration of salmon spawning habitat in the upper Klamath. Within days of the last dam removal, fall run Chinook were observed upriver for the first time in a century. Years from now perhaps stakeholders will look to the Klamath for answers about what to do about the aging infrastructure on the Columbia.Celilo Falls and the Cascades of the Columbia, once roaring, are but memories of a mighty river that ran wild nearly a century ago. Submerged by slackwater pools, today's river soundscape is now formed by the wakes created by cargo ships and barges that ply its lower reaches. This recording is essentially a slice of time on a mild December day in 2024 between two such vessels. Centered on a reach of river absent of shoreline highways, it harkens back to a quieter time. It captures the sound of a great expanse; miles in all directions.Accordingly, the musical composition and arrangement are imbued with harmonic complexity that I don't usually reach for: 7th suspended 4th chords, add-9th chords. Delivered in slow, overlapping succession, these unsettled voicings follow each other rhythmically, like waves tumbling ashore. Small animals scuttle through the brush on the shore while gulls and Bald Eagles cry in the middle distance. Common Mergansers call to each other upriver. Whorls of water formed by the current hint at the great power that lies beneath the placid surface. Roll on Columbia, roll on… Thanks for reading and listening, friend. Quiet Columbia Suite is available under the artist name Listening Spot on all streaming platforms today Friday, July 18th.

He helped revolutionize children's andfamily music with five consecutive Grammy-nominated albums. He co-founded and led the fastest-growing Local in the Musicians Union. Hissongwriting is hailed around the globe and his instruction books introducedthousands to the joys of their own music making. He recorded andreleased tribute albums to Woody Guthrie, labor musician Joe Hill, and hisfriend and mentor, Pete Seeger.

Yes, by any normal standard, he could proudly hang up thebanjo and retire.But John McCutcheon is just getting started.“I feel as though I'm finally getting the hang of doing my job well.”During the pandemic, when a lot of the music world shut down,McCutcheon wrote and released three recordings of new material. Heproved that Zoom could be used for good as well as for evil by forgingonline songwriting partnerships with a half dozen fellow writers, not theleast of whom was the iconic Tom Paxton. They even released a jointalbum, Together, which not only won critical raves but was dubbed “thebest album I've ever done, period.” by Grammy Lifetime Award winnerPaxton.And, just when you think he can't surprise you anymore, he drops album#45: Field of Stars (release date: Janary 10, 2025), a stunning collectionof original and cowritten songs people are calling “the best of his career.”Field of Stars was supposed to be recorded and released in 2020.Musicians were hired, studio dates booked. And then came COVID. So,the songs where shelved until it was safe to go into a small windowlessspace with some of your best mates. But then came the explosion ofwriting that John produced during the lockdown. Three albums in threeyears, each seemingly better than the last. After tackling theMcCutcheon/Paxton project, he was ready to take the long-delayed 2020album down from the shelf and get back to work on it.

Bruce Springsteen has never shied away from expressing his political views. And he's not gonna back down now.“In my home, the America I love. The America I've written about. That has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration,” he told a crowd at a concert in Europe, in May. Donald Trump responded over Truth Social, calling him a “pushy, obnoxious jerk” and a “dried out ‘prune' of a rocker.”In dark times, music and song gives us hope. Bruce Springsteen, like Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, or Woody Guthrie, is one of those musicians who has often led the way with songs for the downtrodden. Songs for the working class, for hardworking Americans, for immigrants. For justice and freedom. And other famous rock idols have got the Boss's back.This is episode 47 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

“The books of the Holy Bible never say but one time just exactly what God is, but in three little words it pours out a hundred million college educations and says, ‘God Is Love.' And that is the only real definite answer to ten thousand wild queries and questions that I my own self have tossed at my Bible. That is the only really sensible, easy, honest, warm, plain, quick, and clear answer I found - when I was ready to throw so-called fearful, cowardly, thieving, poisoning, religion out my trash door. It was those three words that made not only religion, but also several other sorts of superstitious fears and hatreds in me meet one very quick death: God is Love. Love is the only God that I will ever believe in.” - Woody Guthrie

Artist Pam Glick is the quintessential gritty New York artist. Born in Albany and raised partly on an aristocrat's estate in England, she spent her rebellious teen years smoking pot and hitchhiking in search of Woody Guthrie while her glamorous laissez-faire parents imbued her with the confidence and optimism that has seen her through the many chapters in her extraordinary life, including living and working in New York - where she would hang out in cafes chatting to the likes of Quentin Crisp, and where she had a basement studio next to Richard Prince - to raising kids, divorce and surviving cancer. Through it all, she has never stopped creating. Known for her instinctive use of colour and emotionally resonant abstraction, Glick studied Painting at the Rhode Island School of Design, where she received the Florence Leif Award, and later earned her MFA from the University of Buffalo. Her work was widely shown throughout the 1980s and 1990s, with solo exhibitions in New York and Los Angeles. Her paintings have also featured in group exhibitions at Pat Hearn Gallery, the Drawing Center, and the Buffalo AKG Art Museum. More recently, she has held solo exhibitions at White Columns (2016) and The Journal Gallery, New York (2021). For this conversation, Danielle Radojcin met Pam at the Maruani Mercier gallery in Brussels, which is holding an exhibition of her work.   

¡Cancelaron la mejor serie de Star Wars! Nah, se termina Andor, pero ya sabíamos que iban a ser solo dos temporadas, porque... bueno, ustedes vieron Rogue One, ¿no? Eze y MaGnUs se sientan a hacer la RE: seña de la segunda temporada de la serie, siguiendo al propio Cassian Andor, pero también a grandes personajes descubiertos en la anterior, desde nuevos como Luthen Rael o Kleya Marki, hasta pre existentes en la franquicia (pero nunca desarollados) como Mon Mothma. Además de dar background sobre los orígenes de ciertos elementos centrales de la serie como parte de manuales de juegos de rol de los noventas, repasamos todas las implicancias políticas del comportamiento monstruosos del fascismo, con la galaxia muy lejana actuando como un espejo de nuestra propia realidad. Para redondear, también reseñamos Tales of the Underworld, la nueva temporada de la antología "Tales", con el orígen del mercenario Cad Bane, y un nuevo camino para la no-sith-pero-tampoco-jedi Asajj Ventress. Con música de Brandon Roberts, Woody Guthrie, y The Kiners. Próximo programa: Karate Kid - Legends.

This week, we tackle the lofty, ambitious, sometimes bombastic topic of rock operas and concept albums. Most acknowledge that the rock opera was the outgrowth of the psychedelic era where, particularly in a post-Sgt. Pepper world, the rock n' roll album became an artistic statement. As musicians sought to expand and alter the fabric of pop music, “rock operas” with narratives, character development, and distinct movements were being explored on records like the Pretty Things' SF Sorrow (1968) and the Who's Tommy (1969). All rock operas are concept albums, but not all concept albums are rock operas. The concept album is a collection of songs that are tied together to present an overarching theme, going back as far as Woody Guthrie's Dust Bowl Ballads, a 1940 collection of 78 rpm records that stayed true to the title.  Joining us as our Third Lad for this discussion today is Dave Gebroe, the creator & host of the music obsessives' podcast Discograffiti. Dave dives into amazingly deep and immaculately researched discussions on the catalogues of a wide range of artists - if not with the artist themselves, then with a jaw-dropping roster of guests. Dave is also a filmmaker, writing, producing and directing the movies The Homeboy and Zombie Honeymoon. If that weren't enough, he's masterminded a 2 LP tribute to-slash-reimagining of Lou Reed's much maligned album Metal Machine Music, and I believe is working on a rock opera of his own.

A year after the deeply political Pull Up Some Dust And Sit Down, Cooder went one step further and made Election Special, his contribution to the 2012 presidential election in the United States. Clearly on Obama's side and genuinely angry about the corporate takeover of society, he made an album in the tradition of Woody Guthrie, Joe Hill and Pete Seeger: a collection of folk and rock songs for the modern depression. It is as relevant today as it was then, to say the least. This podcast frequently uses small snippets of musical recordings in podcast episodes for educational, review, and commentary purposes.

This week‘s show brings us echoes of resistance from the past because there's a storm brewing, stirring from the louder voices of people recognizing that fascism has settled in. People in this country are getting organized around a common anger that democracy and freedom is being taken from them. The political fortification led by Republican leadership co-opted by white nationalism and support for the gestapo tactics must be held in check and the voices of the ballot box will be the final determination; that is, if there is time. Music this week features Roy Zimmerman, Billy Bragg, Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger and a whole host of sounds from the past century whose musical voices raged when fascism and autocracy attempted to take hold. Money is the root of this evil, make no mistake. There is always hope, however, and we need to be here for each other while practicing self-care with family and friends. The storm clouds are now above us and it's up to all of us. Now. Not later.

In response to the Bush presidency, Cooder produced what could be described as the modern-day equivalent of the kind of dustbowl ballads Woody Guthrie once sang. On Pull Up Some Dust and Sit Down, he took aim at politicians, corporate greed and military action – all issues close to Guthrie's heart in the 1930s and '40s.– In this episode we also talk about Cooder's first and only book, and a few other things.

Dr. Lesley Gill joins us to discuss complicity with trump's fascism, and by that, she means universities, businesses, law firms, and all who are willing to cave to trump's threats. She contends that this is no caving or collaborating but complicity. She also talks about the government's kidnapping of students and legal residents for deportation. This is no time to be sitting, it is all hands on deck. We end with all you fascists gonna lose by Woody Guthrie.

Marina Anderson Ex-Wife of David Carradine, The Eye of My Tornado / Four Feet to Fame: A Hollywood Dog Trainer's Journeyop culture/Memoir/autobiography.This is a significant and very personal book.This book has been inducted into the Johnny Grant Hollywood Walk of Fame Library."...it was one long rollercoaster thrill... Mr. Toad's wild ride...intense passion and emotion. He was the eye of my tornado." Marina Anderson.Marina Anderson was just starting out taking acting lessons at Warner Bros., when she wandered one afternoon onto the candlelit set of a Shaolin temple and met for the first time, the volatile, dark and brilliant personality that was actor and icon, David Carradine. Two dynamic people merging into a karmic-destined, intense and turbulent love relationship. Each struggling with their own demons including sexual abuse and incest. Their private life was replete with love, passion, erotic pleasure and eventually bondage, sexual experimentation, and pain as an avenue to pleasure. Their marriage was marred by a toxic secret that could not be ignored. Her writing speaks to readers universally by focusing on their personal journey, revealing the truth about the couple, addresses conquering fear and overcoming obstacles, self discovery, recovery, re-inventing and rebuilding one's self. It's her personal survival while desperately trying to save the marriage as well as Carradine's constant struggle to be someone he wasn't, but wished he could be. Spirituality, psychic John Edward,other psychics and astrologers who helped her are written about in the book as well. They were married on the Warner Bros. back lot and their six-year relationship was a whirl of auditions, star-studded parties, exotic locations, red carpets and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Marina, who was already an established actress, became Carradine's personal manager and set about rehabilitating the career of an actor who was now known for his heavy drinking. She introduced him to Quentin Tarantino, who cast David in a lead role in the popular Kill Bill films. This vaulted Carradine back onto the Hollywood A-list.After their divorce with the help of re-known celebrity Dr. Drew Pinsky (Celebrity Rehab, Sober House), issues are addressed in the consultation verbatim, occupying an entire chapter. Anderson was able to finally exorcise the demons that have haunted her for so long about their relationship and herself that almost destroyed her. "This book is an avenue for his fans and the general public to know, understand and hopefully accept him as a man, not a celluloid fantasy...to be admired for his talents and the motivations behind certain issues in his life understood. It's also to reveal the very personal interior of a marriage that people can relate to. What we do for love. We are all human beings with our faults. He was afraid people wouldn't remember him. That will never happen. The legend continues."David Carradine's acting career spanned four decades onstage, television and cinema. He became an international sensation as Kwai Chang Caine in the 1970s hit television series Kung Fu and cemented his cult hero status with his role in the classic movie Death Race 2000. He portrayed Woody Guthrie in Hal Ashby's Bound for Glory and Bill in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill films. Carradine received four Golden Globe nominations. He was a talented songwriter and musician and performed in a band called Cosmic Rescue Team.He died in a Bangkok hotel room, June 3, 2009, an apparent victim of autoerotic asphyxiation. Amid sensational media speculation, Marina refused to let David's death remain stigmatized like it was and launched her own investigation into the death of her ex-husband. Suicide? Foul play? A sex act gone wrong? Was he alone? Was there a cover-up? Her conclusions are startling.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

“This machine kills narcissists. Shoutout to Woody Guthrie! Sorry for missing the love notes on Friday; I'm not a machine. In this episode, we talk about Aries Season and the need to listen to what is not being said. It's a different way to analyze your situation. If they are not expressing it in the common way, why? There's meaning and clues from the subconscious mind within everything we say and do. Listen deeper to feel the actual message. What lies below the surface of that offhand statement? Anyway, then we discuss situations by zodiac. They are situationships for a reason. After that, I try something new: talking cards. I let two decks talk to one another. It's interesting, and I'll be doing it again—I just need a little more practice with that method. Of course, this all makes sense in the end with the Homeward Traveler card from the Oracle of Hidden Worlds deck. Home free! What a good feeling! If you're feeling trapped, know that this is not your home; it's only a stop along your way to your rightful home. Keep moving on, and you'll find that place that brings you peace. And remember, this land was made for you and me! Happy Birthday to all my listeners with birthdays this season!” I'll be back next week!!! Missed you all! Want a tarot reading on the show?

Stephen Petrus is director of Public History Programs at LaGuardia and Wagner Archives and co-author of the book Folk City: New York and the American Folk Music Revival (2015). He joins me to discuss the movie A Complete Unknown, which tracks a brief but critical moment in the life of Bob Dylan, when his rise to stardom intersected with the wider social and political project envisioned by American folk musicians, fans, and organizers. Check out Dylan's Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie.  For a deeper look at the folk scene from which Dylan emerged, don't miss Martin Scorsese's documentary No Direction Home: Bob Dylan (2005)  Subscribe to the Nostalgia Trap Patreon to support the show and access our huge library of bonus content, videos, News Trap episodes, and more.

When we shared our New Year’s post including Woody Guthrie’s own famous resolutions/”rulin’s,” I was reminded of the visit that Hightower and I made to the fantastic Woody Guthrie Center in Tulsa, OK this past spring.
