Good morning, Ungovernables! Working the early shift, so I wanted to get this posted. We are up and running every day at 6 a.m.

10:00 a.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Neil Young

One of a rare breed, like Tom Petty, who has remained true to himself through a long, winding, and glorious career. A prolific singer/songwriter.

1:00 p.m. Alison Weir: The Global Campaign to Stifle Criticism of Israel

Alison Weir, founder of the If Americans Knew Blog, breaks down this insidious global effort to stifle free speech and criticism of the state of Israel.

4:00 p.m. Mudcrutch Madness

If you don’t know the band Tom Petty left Gainesville with back in the day, you might want to get to know them. Bringing them back together in 2009 was one of the best ideas Tom Petty ever had.

7:00 p.m. Chris Hedges: A Radical Green Party Strategy

Although somewhat dated, this is a valuable look back. What if the Greens had adopted this strategy instead of pursuing the path they did? It’s a pretty safe bet that they are not in a position to win any time soon on the national stage. Perhaps if they’d listented, things might be different for all of us today.

maria-muldaur

10:00 a.m. George Harrison & Friends: The Concert for Bangladesh

“Cause” concerts are old hat now, but when George Harrison and quite a few of his friends took the stage on December 20, 1971, it was a first. This is where it all began.

1:00 p.m. Chris Hedges: America, The Farewell Tour

Chris Hedges talks about his most recent book, how and why we came to be in this sorry state, and the eventual fall of Empire. I saw this tour when his book was first published. It is quite sobering.

4:00 p.m. Heart of Mine: Maria Muldaur Sings the Love Songs of Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan didn’t just write protest songs, and Maria Muldaur is one of that great class of women who graced the airwaves during the 70s along with Linda Ronstadt and Bonnie Raitt. In fact, they frequently visited each other’s albums!

7:00 p.m. Chris Hedges and Medea Benjamin of Code Pink Talk Iran

Chris Hedges talks to Medea Benjamin about the very real and dangerous potential for war with Iran.

10:00 p.m. Dylan & The Dead

Programming for Sunday, July 21, 2019

Good Morning, Ungovernables! How are we on this fine morning? Here is your playlist for today. Giving it a break today: More music, less chatter. Hey, it’s Sunday! and it’s a Dylan kind of day.

10:00 a.m. Dylan and The Dead

Bob Dylan and the Grateful Dead collaborate on some Dylan tunes both on vinyl and on the road. The team took to the road in 1987, and the album was released on February 6, 1986 by Columbia Records.

1:00 p.m. Across the Borderline: Bob Dylan with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Bob Dylan and Tom Petty & The Hearbreakers decided to team up after Dylan complained that they never got anybody “cool” to open with. The rest is musical history, as two of the world’s greatest songwriters also became the best of friends, winding up in The Traveling Wilburys together (their playlist makes its debut on this station next week).

Across the Borderline is a record of Dylan and Petty live in Sydney Australia. There’s a great interview at the beginning of the playlist talking about how this collaboration all came about. It’s fascinating!

4:00 p.m. Martin Luther King: Why I Oppose the Viet Nam War

The mainstreamers always invokes “I Have a Dream” when someone asks about Dr. Martin Luther King’s speeches, but this is one of King’s most inspirational speeches ever. If ever we need some kind of anti-war voice, it’s now.

Programming Note: We will be taking down the servers at 7:00 p.m. on Sunday evening for a major upgrade and the addition of new music.

Programming for Saturday, July 20, 2019

Good Morning, Ungovernables! Here’s today’s playlist, and it’s a day dedicated to the women of rock!

emmylou-older

11:00 a.m. Martin Luther King on the Three Evils of Society

A nearly forgotten speech given by Dr. King at the first and only National Conference for New Politics (see, we’ve been at this crap for a long time), focusing on war, racism and poverty.

1:00 p.m. Emmylou Harris: Rare Tracks and Forgotten Gems

This is our very first hour featuring Emmylou Harris, but I promise it will not be our last! Some of Emmylou’s friends come along for the ride.

4:00 p.m. War with Russia?

Chris Hedges interviews Stephen F. Cohen, professor emeritus of Russian Studies at Princeton University on the dangerous game we are playing with Russia.

8:00 p.m. The All-Girl Revue

No day dedicated to the women of rock would be complete without one of one of my very favorite playlists, so enjoy!

US-investment-in-5G

Good Morning, Ungovernables! TGIF and all that stuff, right? Unless you’re in retail, like I am. No matter. We’ve got a great lineup for you today here!

11:00 a.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Steely Dan

These guys made some of the most innovative music on the planet in that sleek jazz-rock style. A great band.

2:00 p.m. Dr. Martin Pall on the Health Dangers of 5G

Dr. Martin Pall of the Biochemistry Department at Washington State University discusses the health dangers of the looming 5G techology. We think this is a very dangerous technology and encourage you to also look here.

5:00 p.m. Petty Theft: The Covers

No matter where they played, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers paid homage to those who inspired them and had an effect on their success. Here, the Heartbreakers do their mentors proud covering Chuck Berry, The Beatles, The Grateful Dead and Bo Diddly. One of my favorite playlists EVAH.

8:00 p.m. Chris Hedges: Fascism in the Age of Trump

There are no solutions on eiher side, unfortunately. Many think Donald Trump was sent to “drain the swamp.” The exact opposite is true, despite those who remain delusional. Donald Trump is a product of a very sick system, much like his 2016 challenger, The Hillarious One. But make no mistake about it. Our present march to fascism, and it is happening, is being led by The Orange Scourge.

Remember, to check out the Playlist tab for content!

Note: We will again be uploading a bunch of new material over the weekend, and it will require shutting the server down. Time is TBD, but we will be sure it is later in the evening.

Whoa, we have a late addition to today’s programming!

9:00 p.m. Alison Weir on The Global Campaign to Criminalize Criticism of Israel

Beatles Rock the Rooftop

10:00 a.m. The Beatles Rock the Apple Studios Rooftop (1969)

Long after their touring days ended, the Beatles decided to conduct an unannounced, improptu concert during lunch hour to the thrill of the people below. The London police, however, were not so thrilled with the resulting traffic, and eventually shut the boys down. But not before they gave their countrymates one hell of a performance!

1:00 p.m. Chris Hedges and George Galloway

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges talks about life in the Empire of Illusion, and how everything is not as it seems.

7:00 p.m. Let It Be Naked

By the time the Beatles’ final album rolled around, they were just about ready to kill each other. In fact, they did not record together for much of the album. At the end, John Lennon packed up the takes and brought them to Phil Spector. Yes, that Phil Spector. He added his famous (or infamous, depending upon how you look at it) wall of sound and — with Lennon’s blessing — the album was released.

Let It Be Naked is the original version of the album as it was intended to be released — without Spector’s heavy hand
