Our first presentation of the ultimate road band, Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead.

The memories remain, however, as I spent many hours of my youth there seeing some great bands.

Tune in today to #BecomeUngovernable Radio!

Just a reminder…

Two legendary musicians combine talents and song lists from two very illustrious careers.

1:00 p.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of the Traveling Wilburys

Once upon a time, five of the most talented musicians on the planet decided to get together just to have some fun. The rest is musical history.

4:00 p.m. The Secret World of U.S. Elections

Journalist John Pilger spends some time talking to Julian Assange of WikiLeaks about the state of our nation’s election cycle. With November 2020 looming on the horizon, this is a timely interview.

Like Chris Hedges and George Galloway, we expect Dr. Paul Craig Roberts to be a fixture on this station. He is an important voice in our movement, and this is a great jumping off point.

Good Morning, Ungovernables! Here is your special programming for today!

11:00 a.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Linda Ronstadt

An amazing talent has been silenced by the ravages of Parkinson’s Disease, but she’s left us a musical history like no other female singer of her generation, spanning every possible kind of music there is. Today, we put Linda Ronstadt in the spotlight she so richly deserves.

2:30 p.m. Chris Hedges on America’s Sacrifice Zones

Listen as Chris Hedges talks about communities destroyed by mankind and left to die on the vine. Flint, Michigan, is but one such sacrifice zone.

4:00 p.m. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: Live in Chicago (2003)

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers deliver a kick-ass performance in Chicago in 2003. It’s one for the books, folks.

7:00 p.m. Howard Zinn: The Hidden History of the American Working Class

The common man and woman lost a strong, vibrant voice when Howard Zinn passed away in 2010. But what he has taught us lives on.

9:00 p.m. Under the Influence: Various Artists

Whether it’s legal or illegal, we’ve all been there. These folks sing about it. This is a great playlist.

Both the new Tom Petty and Linda Ronstadt set lists will be added to the Playlist page!

poster-assange-manning-A2

Good Morning, Ungovernables! Today is the 12th anniversary of the actual Collateral Murder event. In honor of our two political prisoners, we will be dedicating all of our “talk” programming today to interviews about or with Julian Assange.

Here’s our special programming for today:

10:00 a.m. Mudcrutch Madness

For those of you who do not know who or what Mudcrutch is, this is the band that Tom Petty left Gainesville, Florida with on his quest to make the best fucking music on the planet. Mudcrutch didn’t have much success out there…until it morphed into Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. Petty brought Mudcrutch back together in 2009, and the result was quite different.

1:00 p.m. Chris Hedges Interviews Kristinn Hrafnsson, Editor-in-Chief of WikiLeaks

The politically-motivated imprisonment of Julian Assange and continued persecution of Chelsea Manning are issues of prime importance to us. This is an excellent and timely interview.

4:00 p.m. The All-Girl Revue

From Linda Ronstadt, to Patti Smith, to Aretha Franklin. It’s an all-girl party! We also throw in some Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, and Irma Thomas. Hey, but who’s name dropping?

7:00 p.m. Crucifying Julian Assange

Chris Hedges and John Pilger on Assanges’ political imprisonment and what he faces down the road.

Programming for Thursday, July 11, 2019

Good Morning, Ungovernables. We start out the day the way we usually do, with non-stop rock, rhythm and blues, and then we move into our specific set lists and informational shows.

We operate from 6:00 a.m. EST until midnight. (Occasionally, the station will be taken down earlier for maintenance and update.)

Here is our planned programming for Thursday, July 11, 2019.

9:00 a.m. Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton Live From Madison Square Garden, February 2008

If ever two names defined “legendary,” these are the guys. Clapton has had an illustrious solo career, but started with Cream, the Yardbirds, Blind Faith, and Derek & The Dominoes. Winwood the same, having enjoyed time with the Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, and Blind Faith (with Clapton). This set is taken from their historic live performance at New York’s Madison Square Garden in February of 2008.

Winwood-Clapton

3:00 p.m. Chris Hedges on the Wages of Rebellion

In 2015, Chris Hedges wrote a book called The Wages of Rebellion: The Moral Imperative of Revolt. Although written for years ago, his message resonates today. Not much has changed, and we’re the only ones who can effect change — from outside this system.

6:00 p.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Steely Dan

One of the finest bands to ever strap on a couple of guitars, Steely Dan offers a great library of innovative sound. Sit back and enjoy! Walter Becker and Donald Fagan are truly musical geniuses.

8:00 p.m. America’s Three Holy Wars with Howard Zinn

Our first broadcast featuring Howard Zinn. In this nearly hour-long talk, he discusses what he calls America’s three “holy wars.” These are the wars we are not allowed to criticize — The Revolutionary War, The Civil War, and World War II.

Good Morning, Ungovernables! Here’s the planned programming for Wednesday, July 10 on #BecomeUngovernable Radio!

9:00 a.m. Music from The Harder They Come

A classic Jimmy Cliff venue here. Great reggae music, and not just from JC either. There’s also the Melodians, Desmond Dekker, and The Maytals.

2:00 p.m. Petty Theft: The Covers

The same characteristics that make Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers the greatest American rock n’roll band also made them one of music’s absolute best cover bands. This is a great playlist of the Heartbreakers covering Dylan, the Dead, Chuck Berry, George Harrison and Bo Diddly.

5:00 p.m. Chris Hedges Interviews Kristinn Hraffnsson of WikiLeaks

This is a rerun of an On Contact inerview between Hedges and the editor-in-chief of WikiLeaks, Kristinn Hraffnsson.

9:00 p.m. That Sweet Soul Sound: Various Artists

Sit back and enjoy Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, The Temptations and the Four Tops, to name just a few.

Note: There may be a large influx of downloadable content available tomorrow evening. If that is the case, we will be taking the servers down again early because the goal is to get that down and then uploaded to the site as quickly as possible.

Thanks for your continued patience.

“Brunch With the Beatles” Gets a Re-do!

To answer everyone’s first question, YES. Brunch With the Beatles will indeed be back and, when it does come back, it’ll be better than the first time around. We’re considering that initial effort practice…mere child’s play.

As for its projected return date? We’re not sure just yet, but we promise to give everyone a couple of weeks notice. Thanks for hanging in there with us through the growth pains.

Trust me. We’re just getting started.
