Beautiful Rage in the Corners of My Mind | S3 E1

[00:00:05] Speaker A: Hey, everyone. Welcome to what I listened to this week. We are back for season three. Yay. Kicking off 2025 with a new season of the pod. [00:00:14] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:00:15] Speaker A: Whoop. Whoop. So since this is a new season and a new year, we're gonna have a slightly different format to the start of the show. So traditionally we would do some kind of icebreaker to kick things off before we listen to the music. We're going to change it up for this season and we're going to do what's called new and good. So share something new and good in your life. I think we could all use a little bit more positivity and optimism in our day to day. We got to sometimes it means we have to force it in, but we're going to try to get it in. And the preference is something new and good related to music. But if it's not, that's totally fine. It can just be something new and good in your life. We're not going to mandate that it has to be about music. So we'll kick it off with Eric. What's new and good, Eric? [00:01:03] Speaker C: New and good. I saw a movie called Flow. I was telling Sergio about it. I think it's an animated movie made entirely in Blender. [00:01:13] Speaker A: I don't know what that is. [00:01:14] Speaker C: Blender is an open source software that you can use for animation and editing. [00:01:20] Speaker A: And things like that. Oh, yes. Now I've heard of it. [00:01:24] Speaker C: All about animals and there's no dialogue and it's beautifully done, just excellently done. And it won, I believe it won the Golden Globe for animated feature, but I would highly recommend it. [00:01:42] Speaker A: Nice. [00:01:43] Speaker C: So that's new and good. [00:01:45] Speaker A: Cool. Awesome. I'll go next. So what's new and Good? A music thing. So my friend Sarah, who I've brought her music to this podcast before, she has finally finished her full length album which is really exciting and it's releasing at the end of this month. I've had like a little bit of a preview, but it will be new very, very soon within like the next week. She's had like an album release party last week and she has another one coming up in February at the Burren in Somerville, Massachusetts. And so her. Sorry, her group name Savoir Faire and the album name is Hopeless Nostalgic. And yeah, just really excited for new music from her. I mean, I've heard a lot of the songs, a lot of the tracks, but there's some that I haven't heard and just really excited and also very proud of her for finally finishing it. And getting it out there and, you know, working like 14 jobs as a public school teacher, but then also recording a full hangout album. So, yeah, stoked about that. [00:02:52] Speaker B: Is it out now? [00:02:54] Speaker A: I believe it comes out next week. [00:02:56] Speaker C: When will it be? [00:02:58] Speaker A: Where will we be able to play? It will be on all of the streaming platforms at first, and then she's also pressing vinyl, so she'll have some vinyl soon, but it takes a little bit of time to get that done. I believe the Release date is January 31st. I will double check. I'll make sure to include a link where appropriate. But yeah, I'll send it around to everybody too, once it's out. I think you can pre save it right now on Spotify, which means, like, you'll get a notification on Spotify once it actually drops. [00:03:30] Speaker B: Cool. [00:03:31] Speaker A: So I can send that around? [00:03:32] Speaker C: Sweet. [00:03:33] Speaker A: Yeah. All right, Sergio, what's new and good? [00:03:35] Speaker B: What's new and good? Related to music or not. [00:03:40] Speaker A: Or not. It doesn't have to be. [00:03:43] Speaker B: We are gonna go see. I heard about a new show at the Derry Art center in Boulder, which I've never been called the Ghost Quartet. I read about it in the paper, and it was some. It looked like they transformed the theater into like a speakeasy type vibe. But then there's someone from the Lumineers who used to be on the Lumineers who's doing all the music for it. It looks pretty cool. So maybe next month I will come with a review of that show. Yeah, good. [00:04:09] Speaker A: So. [00:04:10] Speaker B: So that seemed kind of fun. We did buy some Christmas vinyl last month, and one of them was Johnny Cash. And this is not good, but it sucked. Half. One whole side of the vinyl was just him chatting. I was like, I don't want to hear you talk. I just want the songs. So I was a little bummed out about that. So I'm sorry, that's not as positive. And then not music related. We did end up buying unlimited Regal Movie Pass. So we've been going to the movie theater, like, almost every Friday or every weekend. And that's been kind of fun. Or a lot of fun, actually. [00:04:56] Speaker A: Yeah. Sweet. [00:04:58] Speaker B: Yep. [00:04:59] Speaker C: Very good. [00:04:59] Speaker B: That's it for me. [00:05:00] Speaker A: Awesome. Alrighty. Well, let's get into the music. I think Sergio might be first in the playlist. [00:05:08] Speaker B: Yes. So are we doing the same? Are we, like. When we play it and are we done? You guys talk about it first and then we have. [00:05:15] Speaker A: Let's keep doing that. [00:05:16] Speaker B: All right. Sounds good. Okay, so the first song for tonight is called Beautiful that Way. And it's by Miley Cyrus and Andrew Wyatt, I believe is one of the producers of it. And this was from a movie that just came out called the Last Showgirl. Last Showgirl, Last Showgirls. So here we go. [00:05:52] Speaker D: Just like a rose red in its glow Watch her as she sways Just like a rose shoe Cut you with heart she's beautiful that way hold your cards close Know when to fold Keep that poker face yeah and get back up, babe when she knocks you down she's beautiful that way I know it. [00:06:51] Speaker A: Hurts. [00:06:53] Speaker D: For what it's worth but you had to know some I would go. [00:07:06] Speaker A: Oh. [00:07:10] Speaker D: Spare baby step Night always falls at least you had your day. [00:07:25] Speaker A: Now. [00:07:26] Speaker D: The light shines on some other girl who's beautiful than we she's beautiful, Beautiful. [00:08:00] Speaker A: That's so short. A short little song. [00:08:03] Speaker C: Yep. [00:08:09] Speaker B: Don't speak all at once. [00:08:10] Speaker A: No, it's okay. I'm trying to articulate. I want to sound somewhat articulate when I speak. So it's interesting because I don't really know. I don't know Miley's catalog very well. I know like probably whatever her radio hit, usa, that's my. That's Miley. Let's do it. [00:08:30] Speaker B: Miley. [00:08:32] Speaker A: Yeah. So I don't like. I know those, I guess. So that's like the extent of my Miley knowledge. This seems different for her. I don't know if that's accurate, but it seems kind of different. It sounds like it's interesting that you said it's from a movie. Cause it sounds very show tuny. Like I could see somebody singing it on Broadway. Yeah, I mean, I don't know, I kind of like the old timeyness of it. I didn't really love how the instrumentals sounded like they were underwater. That kind of bothered me a little bit. So I wasn't a huge fan of that. But like I didn't. I wouldn't normally like gravitate to Miley and I didn't like completely like recoil at her voice or anything like that. There was a few moments where like the way she articulates certain words, like listening to it in headphones like this, I think really bother me. But it just, I don't know, sounds kind of different for her. But I again, I knowing like three songs by her. But yeah, I didn't like love it. But I also like didn't hate it and I kind of liked how short it was. I don't know, I feel like I don't really have anything like intelligent to say about it. I don't know why? I'm kind of drawing a blank. [00:09:58] Speaker C: I always look at Miley from the viewpoint of. I knew her when she was Hannah Montana, and I used to watch her with my kids when she was a kid, and then she grew up and became Miley Cyrus. It's Miley, and she's a big star now. And so it was refreshing to hear her sound like, kind of like. I don't know if you guys know Brenda lee. Brenda Lee's a 50s 60s singer who was kind of cross between country and rock and roll and had a lot of the same intonations in her voice that this song had. I mean, I kind of like the song. I don't know if I'd. I wouldn't turn it off if it came on in the car. [00:10:47] Speaker A: Yeah, same. I think I'd leave it on. I think the other thing, too, about it, when you said Brenda Lee, one other thought that I had when I was listening to it is like, so Dolly Parton is her godmother. That's like one of her big things. And it was sort of like, oh, you can kind of hear Dolly's influence a little bit in something like this, like, kind of older country. One thing I do like about Miley, I will say, is that she represents the lower vocal ranges in women, and I like that. It's kind of nice not to have, like, a soprano being, you know, the star of the show. Somebody who's like an alto even. I feel like she could even do tenor range. But anyway, that's just different for, you know, divas are usually like those sopranos or whatever. [00:11:31] Speaker C: And I also want to say that I didn't see this movie because Sergio said it was depressing. [00:11:37] Speaker A: Oh, no. Yeah. I don't know anything about. I have, like, no context for this movie or anything. Anything. [00:11:43] Speaker B: Yeah. So I figured. I think having context would help a lot with the song. I doubt this song will be played on the radio. It was made as an original song for this movie. So the movie the Last Showgirl is with Pamela Anderson, and it takes place in the present, and she's a Las Vegas showgirl, and she's been, at least in the MOOC, performing since the last late 80s or 80s. And basically she finds out that their show is gonna end. So she's been performing this for, like, decades. She has all this experience. It's like a old school Las Vegas kind of showgirl type show, but it's ending and she doesn't know what to do. And it just. The whole movie is really just about her. And the other women, mostly younger, but some older as well, kind of processing that information of what they're going to do next. So there's a lot about themes of like letting go or not wanting to let go. Changing of the times, passing things on from, you know, from older people to the younger generation. Anyway, it. And then it ends with this song and I just, I kind of got emotional and teary eyed during it and I didn't think it was. I didn't know who was singing it until I searched for it right after we got back into the car after finishing the movie. I was like, oh shit, this is Miley Cyrus. And I was like, this song is going to be nominated for something. It just like the way it just worked with the movie, it. I think it just made it a really good song and helped the movie out a lot. And sure enough, I think the song was nominated for a Golden Globe. I wouldn't be surprised if it's nominated for an Oscar. I don't know what other original songs are, but in researching some of the background info, I guess Miley does have some. She always like looked up to Pamela Anderson as. I don't know, some other people do. [00:13:57] Speaker A: I didn't know she was still alive. Yeah, I thought she died now. [00:14:02] Speaker B: I feel she's not that old. [00:14:04] Speaker C: Yeah, really, she's been around for a long time, but she's not that old. [00:14:08] Speaker A: I guess if she got started really young, I guess that makes sense. I, I thought I did. Not like, I didn't. I thought she died like from something like semi tragic. Like I didn't, I didn't not like of old age. Like, but I might be like confusing her with somebody else. But anyway, that's interesting. [00:14:27] Speaker C: Shannon Doherty, maybe. [00:14:28] Speaker A: Maybe. Okay, yeah, sorry. Sidetracked but interesting. [00:14:33] Speaker B: Yeah, so I don't know. That's just kind of the history of it, but not. [00:14:38] Speaker C: Yeah, okay, cool. [00:14:39] Speaker B: I doubt radio stations will play the song, so. [00:14:42] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean it's kind of short and sort of sad, but. Well, especially now given the context of it, it's like, whoa. Because, God, that's depressing. That does sound really depressing. [00:14:54] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:14:55] Speaker A: So would you recommend the movie or like did you think it was good, albeit depressing? [00:15:03] Speaker B: See, I think this is kind of why I like now having this movie pass because I don't think I would have paid to see it. I would have waited to see it at home. [00:15:10] Speaker A: Sure. [00:15:11] Speaker B: And there were some aspects of the way it was made that really kind of upset me. Just mostly from. It was like half in focus, half the time. And really it was kind of annoying, but I think it's. Has stayed with me longer than I thought it would. [00:15:29] Speaker C: Okay, so it sounds like it's worth. [00:15:31] Speaker B: I think you would. I think it's worth seeing if you get the opportunity to. [00:15:36] Speaker A: Okay, so. [00:15:38] Speaker B: But it's like. It's a slow burn. It's not, you know, it's drama. [00:15:41] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:15:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:15:43] Speaker C: No banks are robbed. [00:15:44] Speaker B: No banks are robbed. No. [00:15:46] Speaker C: Okay. [00:15:47] Speaker B: But anyway. [00:15:49] Speaker A: Huh. Wow. That's Miley. [00:15:52] Speaker B: It's Miley. [00:15:53] Speaker A: It's Miley. Who thought we would have such an in depth conversation about Miley Cyrus on this podcast? That's why this podcast is so great. [00:16:02] Speaker B: So the next song is also by Miley Cyrus. I'm just kidding. It's by Rage Against Machine. And the title of the song is called Calm Like a Bomb. So here we go. [00:17:01] Speaker E: Same bodies very hungry but with different last names Their vultures robbing every daily Nothing would change Pick a point on the go There's a picture to say There's a bank as a church on this and a horse or falling alone A shout at it both. There's a widow being carried A whipple to tame A white hooded judge? A syringe in a V. [00:17:26] Speaker A: And a. [00:17:27] Speaker E: Ride through the rival be unheard Watch y'all say Watch I say Watch I say what what you say? What you say? What you say? [00:17:39] Speaker C: What. [00:17:43] Speaker E: What you say? What y'all say? What y'all say? [00:17:46] Speaker A: What. [00:17:49] Speaker E: What y'all say? What y'all say? What y'all say? [00:17:52] Speaker A: What's. [00:18:26] Speaker E: Different last name Everyone left nothing but chains Big a boy here at home yes, the picture the same There's a field full of slaves Some corners of death There's a ditch full of bodies the chat for the R There's a t the phone the silence of stone the no black screen Every feeling like home the uncle Watch I say Watch I say Watch I say what I say Watch I say Watch I say what? Watch I say Watch I say Watch I say what? Watch I say Watch I say Watch I say what? [00:19:18] Speaker A: Crawl like a boy, Crawl like a boy Come like a boy. [00:19:44] Speaker D: It. [00:20:52] Speaker A: There's. [00:20:53] Speaker E: A country soul that rings post no bells There's a strike in the line of cops outside of the mail There's a right to obey and a right to kill? There's a mass with our roofs There's a prison to fill There's a country soul that reads post no bills There's a strike in the line of cops outside of the mill Cause there's a right to obey and there's the right to kill. [00:21:23] Speaker B: I like tonal whiplash. Genre whiplash. [00:21:29] Speaker A: Yeah. And my song will give you whiplash right back, too, so it'll be fun. It's a fun intermission between the two bookends of the show. [00:21:39] Speaker B: I. I haven't listened to much Rage against the Machine. I did really like this. I like the grunginess, like, electronic. I don't even know how to describe some of those sounds that there's like. Like machine. Yeah. Machine type sounds that, um. Yeah, I was just kind of bopping the whole way. It was kind of hard to hear the lyrics on some of it. I don't know. [00:22:02] Speaker C: Should have to read him. [00:22:03] Speaker B: Yeah, I'd want to. Yeah. Read them. But, yeah, that was fun. That was good. [00:22:12] Speaker A: Yeah. I love listening to Rage, especially when I'm feeling ragey. It's like just a really cathartic type of music where it's just like. If you're feeling. Yeah, I don't think it necessarily makes you feel less ragey. If anything, it's just, like, cool. There's somebody else that's maybe as angry as I am in this world when you're listening to it. But. Yeah, I mean, I always have loved, like, the. The music. The music of it. Like, the. Just the. The mix of sounds and. And similar to what Sergio said. Like, my one, like, ongoing complaint about rage is just how you can't necessarily understand what the lyrics are in the first time. You have to listen to it a couple times or, like, read the lyrics or whatever it might be. But, like, that's always been, like, my one, my one, like, little nitpick about rage. But as a child of the 90s and early 2000s, they have a special place in my heart. And I think now more than ever, we need them. [00:23:22] Speaker C: I've been listening. I saw the Bob Dylan movie a few weeks ago and started thinking about protest music. And today is Sam Cooke's birthday. Sam Cooke wrote one of the great sort of protest songs, A Change Is Going to Come died way too early. And then I was in a discussion online about how music, some types of music, are inherently political. So if you look at the history of political music in America, goes back before the Civil War, but today, with Sam Cooke's birthday and for some reason, Gil Scott Heron. I don't know if you guys know Gil Scott Heron, but Gil Scott Heron popped up, and I was gonna do the Revolution Will Not Be Televised, which I will save for another time. But then it all comes back to Rage. I was listening to Rage and Black Flag and. Yeah. And musically, I think they're underrated as a band. They are really great musicians, so I like that about them. I love the lyrics of this song when you can read them. And I just needed some rage. Cause it's a ragey time in this country. [00:24:51] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. I think that's one thing that's so great about them is that they have that mixture of musicality and really unique. And the lyrics are just. Are. I mean, it's poetry. And I feel like sometimes that's. It's like you get one or the other. You don't always get both. I think when you get both, that's when it makes it really special. [00:25:21] Speaker C: I was thinking Marvin Gaye's what's Going on album, which is sort of the perfect mix of musicality and profound lyrics. It's just timeless stuff. And I think Rage has lasted this long because it's just really good music. [00:25:39] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:25:40] Speaker C: So anyway, that's my take. [00:25:42] Speaker A: Love it. Great choice. And Jay approves. He was so excited when I told him that this is the song you brought. He was like, ignite. Ignite. [00:25:54] Speaker B: What album is this from? Is this, like a newer song or. [00:25:57] Speaker C: No, this is Battle of Los Angeles. [00:26:00] Speaker B: Older album, I guess. [00:26:01] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:26:02] Speaker B: Okay. [00:26:02] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:26:03] Speaker A: You'd know songs off of it, probably. Yeah. [00:26:06] Speaker B: I have to add it to my. [00:26:07] Speaker A: List of you should of your rage playlist, your protest playlist. [00:26:13] Speaker B: It is funny, like how. Yeah, just music will kind of change your mood so quickly. Like that. Like, just the minute started, I was like, yeah, you know, like, you know, I'm angry. [00:26:26] Speaker A: Yeah. Yep. Absolutely. [00:26:30] Speaker B: Cool. [00:26:30] Speaker A: Cool. Thanks, Eric. [00:26:31] Speaker B: Thanks, Eric. [00:26:31] Speaker A: Good one. Love it. [00:26:33] Speaker B: All right, the next song is Once I Scroll down. Deep within the corners of my Mind. It kind of cut off on Spotify, so I kind of guessed that. And it's by Melody Gardeau. [00:26:51] Speaker A: Yeah. It'll be a good bookend unless we. [00:26:56] Speaker B: Do a bonus on it. [00:26:57] Speaker A: True. [00:26:58] Speaker B: All right, here we go. [00:27:18] Speaker F: Deep within the corners of my mind I keep a memory of your face and I only pull it out when I long for you in my embrace Deep within the corners of my mind I'm haunted by a smile as it promises Gives me joy Like a journey to a tropic I love it's not hard to see what you do to me is like a page right out of furnace time and away Though I try to fight. [00:28:41] Speaker A: All the words you. [00:28:43] Speaker F: Write Leave me standing in the staring room in some tragic lover's play but deep within the corners of my mind I'm praying secretly that eventually, time there'll be a place for you and me that eventually in time there'll be a place for you and me There'll be a place for you and me Deep within the corners of mine. [00:30:23] Speaker C: What a great arrangement. I don't know her. I don't know. I like her voice a lot, but I love that full orchestra sound. Real instruments, no, nothing fake, nothing synthesized. And they just. It was so full. And it complemented her voice perfectly because a lot of singers can get overwhelmed by a big arrangement like that. But I don't know who she is, but I like her. I would listen to her many times. [00:30:59] Speaker B: Yeah. When I played it, I saw the album cover art, and I was like, that looks so familiar. And sure enough, I've listened to. Yeah, I guess. Baby, I'm a fool L'is etoi, your heart is as black as night. I think, anyway, I think the song I've listened to the most is Le Trois or the Stars. And I think my high school girlfriend introduced me to that song. I think it sounds. I don't know. It's kind of way back in the past. It's an older album of my mind. [00:31:33] Speaker A: Yeah. I think this album came out in 2008. Oh, I was, like, in college, but. [00:31:40] Speaker B: I was so nice. Anyway. Yeah, I had. I hadn't listened to her in a long time, but, Yeah, I love her voice. I love. Yeah. Her lyrics. It was. [00:31:52] Speaker C: She's French or she French American. [00:31:55] Speaker A: She's. She's American, but she's fluent in French. She's fluent in French and English. I don't know what her, like, her family background is and if that's why she knows French, but. [00:32:06] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:32:07] Speaker A: Cause Les Etois is, like, entirely in French. I'm pretty sure the whole song. [00:32:12] Speaker B: Yeah. That was a beautiful song. [00:32:15] Speaker A: Yeah. That song gives me goosebumps. I've listened to it probably, like, 175 times in my life. Yeah. And I feel like every time it gives me. It's weird. I don't know. [00:32:25] Speaker B: What about it? [00:32:26] Speaker A: I don't know. I don't know. I think it's like. I think it's her voice, and I think it is, like, the orchestral arrangement. Kind of a sucker for those, like, really lush. I, like, have this urge to, like, conduct when I hear it. Like, neither of you probably watch Frasier, but, like, there's this episode where he's, like, in his apartment and he's, like, conducting, and they walk in on him and he's just like, what? And I feel like that's, like. That happens When I listen to this, I have this, like, urge to, like, bring in the violas and, like. I don't know. I don't know what it is. [00:32:56] Speaker C: It's very romantic, too. [00:32:58] Speaker A: Yeah, it's so and so. What's interesting is that, like, normally this kind of music, I'm like. Like, I'm not, like, romantic. All that crap, like, miss me with it. I don't really care. But for some reason, something about her, her music is Because I love that. The album that this is on and those other ones you mentioned, I really love that album. And it's. Yeah, it's not normally something maybe I would listen to. I think the. I think I fell into this in college because she does a lot of jazz stuff. And so I think I had. I discovered her either through, like, a friend who I played with or a teacher or something like that. But what's super interesting about her is that when she was 19, she was biking in Philly and got hit by a truck or a bus. [00:33:54] Speaker C: Holy crap. [00:33:55] Speaker A: And she was hospital bedridden for a full year. And as part of her rehab, one of her rehab doctors was like, have you tried music? And she did, like, pretty extensive music therapy while she was in rehab. And she sort of wrote songs and she would sing into, like, a tape recorder. And she learned she playing the piano was too painful for her, but she learned how to play the guitar laying down while she was in rehab. And so music was, like, basically her whole healing journey. And she recorded this. Well, this album came out in 2008, and she would have been 23 when it came out. And so that's the other thing too, is, like, I listened to this and, like, how mature and, like, deep and rich her sound is. And it's like, wow, damn. She was only, like, 23 when this album came out, but it was also only four years after her accident, too, which is kind of. Also wild to kind of think about. But, yeah, it's just. She has such an interesting story. And now obviously she's, like, a huge advocate for music therapy, and I think she's sponsored a lot of music therapy programs. She lives in. I think she lives in Jersey, so she sponsored some programs there. But yeah, she just has, like, a really interesting story in addition to, like, just. Her sound is. Her voice is beautiful, and her sound is great. She recovered on the treadmill listening to Stan Getz because she. So part of her accident has made her light and sound sensitive. And so when she was recovering and the music she was listening to as part of her Therapy. She wanted, like, sort of soft, gentle sounds. [00:35:40] Speaker C: She wasn't listening to Rage? [00:35:41] Speaker A: No, she was not listening to Rage. And so when you listen to her music, you can definitely hear that kind of Boss Nova and that Stan Getz influence, which is really interesting. And. Yeah, so that's. She just has, like, just an absolutely fascinating story, and it's really inspiring. And then on top of it, it just sounds incredible. And honestly, this song, I was, like, walking down the street with my dog, and all of a sudden I just thought of the song randomly, and I was like, I haven't listene to that in a while. And, like, I have no idea what prompted it. I don't know if it's, like, the weather now or something, but something, like, triggered it randomly in my brain. [00:36:18] Speaker C: And I'm gonna go look her up. Yeah, Put her on some playlist. [00:36:22] Speaker A: Yeah, you should. You. I bet you'd like her. Yeah. [00:36:26] Speaker B: Cool. [00:36:27] Speaker A: And it was. It was funny when you brought the Miley songs to kind of remind, like, it was. I mean, not the same, but, like, similar vibes of, like, kind of sad and cinematic and then with rage in the middle. Yeah. Love it. [00:36:41] Speaker B: I think we have time for another. Does anyone have a bonus song or. [00:36:49] Speaker C: The Revolution Will Not Be Televised by Gil Scott Heron. [00:36:52] Speaker A: There you go. Find it. [00:36:55] Speaker C: It'll have a lot of obscure cultural references that you won't understand, but you'll understand enough. Okay. [00:37:02] Speaker B: All right. [00:37:03] Speaker A: That's the Vietnam song. [00:37:05] Speaker C: No, it's. Post that. [00:37:07] Speaker A: Post that. Okay. [00:37:08] Speaker B: All right. Bonus song. The Revolution Will Not Be Televised by Gil Scott Heron. [00:37:28] Speaker G: You will not be able to stay home, brother. You will not be able to plug in, turn on, and cop out. You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip out for beer during commercials because the revolution will not be televised. The revolution will not be televised. The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox in four parts without commercial interruptions. The revolution will not shove you pictures of Nixon blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John Mitchell, General Abrams, and Spyro Agnew to eat hog moths confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary. The revolution will not be televised. The revolution will not be brought to you by the Shaffer Award Theater and will not star Natalie woods and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia. The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal. The revolution will not get rid of the nubs. The revolution will not make you look five pounds thinner because the revolution will not be televised, brother. There will be no pictures of you and Willie Mae pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run or trying to slide that color TV into a stolen ambulance. NBC will not be able to predict the winner. At 8:32 on report from 29 districts. The revolution will not be televised. There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down brothers on the instant replay. There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down brothers on the instant replay. There will be no pictures of Whitney Young being run out of Harlem on the rail with a brand new process. There will be no slow motion or still lifes of Roy Wilkins strolling through Watts in a red, black and green liberation jumpsuit that he has been saving for just the proper occasion. Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies and Hooterville Junction will no longer be so damn. And women will not care if Dick finally got down with Jane on Search for Tomorrow because black people will be in the street looking for a brighter day. The revolution will not be televised. There will be no highlights on the 11 o'clock news and no pictures of Harry Armed Women Liberationist and Jackie Onassis blowing her nose. The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb or Francis Scott Keys, nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom Jones, Johnny Cass, Inglebert Holmes on the rare earth. The revolution will not be televised. The revolution will not be right back after a message about a white tornado, white lightning or white people. You will not have to worry about a dove in your bedroom, the tiger in your tank or the giant in your toilet bowl. The revolution will not go better with Coke. The revolution will not fight germs that may cause bad breath. The revolution will put you in the driver's seat. The revolution will not be televised Will not be televised. Will not be televised, Will not be televised. The revolution will be no rerun, brothers. The revolution will be live. [00:40:29] Speaker A: That's great. We need more music like that. [00:40:32] Speaker B: That was incredible. [00:40:34] Speaker A: I love it. [00:40:35] Speaker B: I love the flute. [00:40:36] Speaker A: Yeah, the flute is great. The flute, like mimicking the cadence of his voice. And what he's saying is awesome. [00:40:44] Speaker C: That's a guy named Brian Jackson who worked with him for years. So they have that chemistry together. Yeah. I mean, I know it's. You talked about a lot of things that you probably didn't know firsthand, but you got it. [00:41:00] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. There were a few things that I got, but yeah. Not 100. [00:41:06] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:41:07] Speaker A: When did it come out? You said it wasn't a Vietnam. [00:41:09] Speaker C: I think it was. It was Vietnam era. But they were talking about. He was talking about the riots. [00:41:17] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah. [00:41:18] Speaker C: So I think the watch riots, which are 70s. [00:41:21] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:41:22] Speaker C: Yeah. But yeah, it's it's funny, but it's profound. [00:41:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:41:28] Speaker C: And I listen to it every once in a while, and it went perfectly with Rage Today. [00:41:33] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:41:34] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:41:35] Speaker A: Well, it's just interesting how it. Yeah, it is. How it gets its message across in kind of a humorous way, but it's. It's still like a serious message. Yeah, it's kind of an interesting delivery mechanism for that. It's not, like, overtly angry, but it's like. Yeah, it's kind of interesting how it sounds. [00:41:54] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:41:54] Speaker A: And even with the flute, too. Like, the flute's kind of, like, whimsical. Right. And the bass is kind of like, you know, it's like grooving. But yeah. [00:42:03] Speaker C: He has a. Because he was such a difficult human being, he had a lot of problems with drugs. He had a lot of problems with drugs, primarily. He was a brilliant man, but he just couldn't get it to keep it together. And he didn't live that long. But his work still stands up. And this is one of. It's probably my favorite of his. [00:42:33] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:42:34] Speaker B: What's the rest of the music? His music like, is it similar? [00:42:37] Speaker C: Some of it is upbeat. Some of it is more serious. Like Winner in America. He does one about Johannesburg back when South Africa was an apartheid state. But he does a pretty wide variety of stuff, but it's generally political. [00:43:00] Speaker A: Yeah. Interesting. I love the theme. This is great. [00:43:06] Speaker B: I want to check out his. Rest of his stuff. [00:43:08] Speaker A: I feel like it would be great to find some of it on vinyl. [00:43:11] Speaker C: Oh, he's. He's probably all over vinyl. [00:43:14] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:43:14] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:43:15] Speaker A: Gotta check the shops. [00:43:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:43:17] Speaker A: In Longmont. [00:43:18] Speaker B: That's funny. Yeah, I thought that same thing, too. [00:43:21] Speaker A: This would be great. Awesome. Good bonus song, Eric. [00:43:25] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:43:25] Speaker A: Love it. [00:43:26] Speaker B: Thank you. [00:43:26] Speaker A: When he said Bullwinkle, was he referring to the cartoon? [00:43:29] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:43:30] Speaker A: Fun fact. One year, Jay and I went as Rocky and Bullwinkle for Halloween. I was Rocky, he was Bullwinkle. It was pretty. It was a good costume. We did a good job. And then one year, I went as Natasha. [00:43:47] Speaker C: Natasha Patel. [00:43:48] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:43:48] Speaker C: Boris Badenoff and Natasha Patel. [00:43:50] Speaker A: Jay did not want to go as Boris Badenoff, but I went as Natasha. Yeah, it was pretty great. Deep cuts. [00:44:01] Speaker C: Being tempted to talk about the last inauguration. I'm not going to say anything more. [00:44:08] Speaker A: Cool. [00:44:09] Speaker B: On that note. [00:44:10] Speaker A: On that note. Yeah. Thanks for listening, everybody.
