Matt is back for this episode. The black flies are gone. The clover is growing slowly. Matt offers us an update on the little Sanderson. Phil is working from home full-time now and admits he may be procrastinating. He’ll tell us later about that. The intro gets real when Phil decides to talk ontology and epistemology. Apologies in advance for a few annoying glitches in the audio. We fixed it up for the main section. So take a peek-a-poo before you protest too much.
Protest & Political Music - Part 1 (15:34)
Matt & Phil take a look at music from the 1920’s to the 1970’s that had strong political themes. This isn’t a comprehensive exploration of the genre, but rather a selection of tunes and artists that had a significant social and cultural impact. Sometimes, as in the case of Lead Belly, the artists focused on have influenced generations of musicians. There’s no Dylan, but there’s some Dr. Martin Luther King.
A list of songs & artists discussed/played during in this episode:
- Lead Belly - Ain’t Gonna Study War No More (Down by the Riverside) (1940) Mamie Smith - Crazy Blues (1920) Mamie Smith - Harlem Blues (1935) Ma Rainey - Trust no Man (1926) Ma Rainey - See See Blue (1924) Elizabeth Cotten - Washington Blues and I’m Going Away (1965) Elizabeth Cotten - Freight Train (1956) Billie Holiday - Strange Fruit (1939) Sam Cooke - A Change is Gonna Come (1964) Pete Seeger - We Shall Overcome (1963) Buffalo Springfield - For What It’s Worth (1966) Lesley Gore - You Don’t Own Me (1963) Curtis Mayfield & The Impressions - People Get Ready (1965) Creedence Clearwater Revival - Fortunate Son (1969)
Recommendations (1:11:41)
- Matt & Phil both recommend brews from Sleeman. It's Silver Creek for Matt, and Railside Session Ale for Phil. Both are low alcohol, loaded with just the right amount flavour and hops. Perfect for a warm summer afternoon after some heavy lifting (or a day of heavy podcasting). Cheers!
