Hi, everybody! I'm thrilled that my guest for this episode is Mark “WEISSGUY” Weiss, one of the most iconic rock photographers of the past four decades, whose lens has helped define the visual language of rock and metal!From capturing the raw energy of bands like Guns N' Roses, Kiss, Metallica, Mötley Crüe, Bon Jovi, Ozzy Osbourne, Van Halen, Twisted Sister, Aerosmith and countless others, to shaping the larger-than-life imagery that dominated MTV and magazines in the '80s and '90s, Weiss didn't just document a scene—he gave it an identity. His photographs have graced countless album and magazine covers, tour books, t-shirts, and posters, cementing him as the go-to photographer during rock's golden era. His classic photos of Ozzy Osbourne are now being featured at the new Ozzy exhibition, “Working Class Hero,” in Birmingham, England.In this podcast, we get a front-row seat to his journey, including personal stories about his role as Ozzy's photographer since 1981, along with being on stage for Ozzy's final performance in July. We also chat about his best-selling book, The Decade That Rocked, which has been published in four languages and remains on best-selling charts in the U.S., with over 1,500 five-star Amazon reviews, with high praise from Rolling Stone, Spin, and The Washington Post. To order, go to markweiss.com.Mark also created a new mag called ROCKED, which brings classic, glossy rock magazines back to life. Check it out and snag a copy for yourself by heading over to rockedmag.com.I loved my chat with Mark as his work is a reminder of how powerful an image can be—not just as documentation, but as a cultural force that helps define an era. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In response to a survey suggesting people are turning away from the news Giles and Esther pander to the masses and happily look past the obvious headlines. Who or what constitutes a working man? As the blue and red parties scabble to attract anyone who earns a living Giles is temporarily bewitched by the endless tax breaks on offer from the Reform party. His conscience kicks in but with his new found knowledge of the candidates he does a ‘who said what' quiz for Esther. Little House on the Prairie - an idyllic serene country existence…? Not so fast! If you survive the warring factions on the plain and the syphilis you've still got to fight off the cowboys. Perhaps not the best example of the past to offer to children. Giles and Esther consider some better examples, and more pertinent advice for the young people of today. Lastly, could it really be true that privately educated children are thinner in middle age than their state educated counter parts? Of course not, Esther is suitably exasperated. Hosted on Acast.

In a wide ranging conversation that explores everything from Beyonce's country album, John Lennon's Working Class Hero, the intersection with queer culture and representation, Queen's commercial suicide in USA following the video for I want to break free, and the corporate pressure on the Beatles and Guns N' Roses, we explore popular music as a site of resistance.You can order a copy of the book directly from Repeater Books here Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/explaininghistory.

In the summer of 2022, the little-known leader of a small union became a ‘working-class hero'. Facing down media pundits who thought they could walk all over him, he offered a robust critique of the government and provided workers with an authentic voice. At a time when the Labour Party was unable to articulate a credible alternative to the Tories, Mick Lynch spoke for the working class. Where did Lynch come from? How did he develop the skills and traits that make him such an effective spokesperson and leader? Gregor Gall's biography Mick Lynch: The Making of a Working-Class Hero (Manchester UP, 2024) explores his family and social background and his rise to the top of the RMT union, which culminated in election as General Secretary in 2021. Considering his persona and politics, this book asks what quality singles out Lynch as a working-class hero compared to other union leaders and, more broadly, what leadership means for working people and for the left. If we want better leaders at every level, the case of Mick Lynch holds the key. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

So we're here this week to close out the country music series - we think, anyway - and as a Belated Labor Day show, we are honoring the World of Work.   this little episode  features songs that honor the work day, but even though the term "working class hero" does refer to blue-collar, Annie and I reflect on our own hourly-worker experiences as well as job transitions, etc.  I think y'all will enjoy these songs! Yes, there is a playlist, but it's not complete due to a certain country artist's big-time streaming deal...but no worries.  I'll try to get Annie to make us an Amazon Music Playlist, too!

Marianne Faithfull's journey from 60's elfin-voiced beauty to grande-dame of rock music has given us some wonderful music, including Broken English, inspired by the Baader-Meinhof terrorist gang.   We look at her career, focusing on what this album meant for her. Many may know the title-track single, but the album brings a bunch of stunning tracks we know you're going to really enjoy discovering, including, “The Ballad of Lucy Jordan” and Lennon's “Working Class Hero”. Our “album you must listen to before you die” is Pink Floyd's gloomy masterwork, “The Wall”, a stunning vision of British society said to be “so unremittingly dismal.... that it makes gloom-mongers such as Randy Newman or Nico seem like Peter Pan and Tinker Bell”. Needless to say, we love it, not least for the wonderful production by Bob Ezrin. (“Berlin”, Peter Gabriel”, and “Billion Dollar Babies” )In “Rock News”, Jeff brings us up to speed with upcoming tours by Roger Waters, Bruce Springsteen, Yes, and Kiss, Oh, goody! References: Roger Waters, Frankfurt, Germany, Brian Johnson, Bruce Springsteen Day, Yes, George Thorogood and the Destroyers, Kiss, The Wall, Pink Floyd, Enmore Theatre, Countess Eva Von Sacher-Masoch, Steve Vizard, Paul McCartney, Here, There and Everywhere, Rolling Stones, Keef, Wild Horses, heroin addiction, Broken English, Island Records, Chris Blackwell, 1001 Albums you must listen to before you die, Robert Dimery, Working Class Hero, The Ballad of Lucy Jordan, Shel Silverstein, Dr Hook and the Medicine Show, Stevie Winwood, Richard Lowenstein, Dogs in Space, Dangerous Acquaintances , A Child's Adventure, Intrigue, Kissin' Time, Before the Poison, Blazing Away Episode Playlist

As an album that Lennon touches on many personal issues, this is a very good look at his psychological suffering of the time. Critical reception of the album was mixed at the time of the release, but over time some have regarded it as Lennon's best solo album. With great songs like Working Class Hero, Well Well Well, God, Hold On and many others, you should certainly give this one a try if you haven't already.

Pregnant and thrown out of the family home at 16, she nevertheless fought her way to the Labour's commanding heights. What built Angela Rayner's formidable personality? And what does she want? Michael Crick speaks to friends and colleagues from her early days up to her Shadow Cabinet years to uncover a remarkable story of tenacity against the odds. • “Angela's parents gave her no hugs, kisses or love… the family couldn't even afford hot water.” – Michael Crick • “When her childhood friends went home for dinner, she'd be sitting outside on her own… because there was no dinner.” – Elise Wilson • “She had no legal training yet she was handling two or three union cases a day. A lawyer would struggle to do that.” – Andy Verdeille • “When Rayner entered Parliament in 2014, the woman from a chaotic home thrived in a chaotic Party.” – Michael Crick • “A lot of people underestimate her out of sexism, class prejudice and her relative youth.” – Andrew Fisher • “I personally would not want to make an enemy of Angela Rayner.” – Geri Scott Angela Rayner ‘Scum' audio, Labour Party Conference, The Mirror, September 2021 Mugshots was written and produced by Michael Crick and Jet Gerbertson. Additional research by Mathilda Walters.

And from that moment on, Linda Grant sets her cast of unlikely characters free - as much as possible in a TB clinic in 1950s London. The Dark Circle is her seventh novel. The protagonists are twin teens bursting with life, though they live in the space between collective death of the recent past and the shadow of death in the future, as patients. Yet Grant makes the period and the people come alive - and tells us how. This season of the Tel Aviv Review is made possible by The Van Leer Jerusalem Institute, which promotes humanistic, democratic, and liberal values in the social discourse in Israel.
