Tom Rush in The Spotlight, Mick Jagger & Jeff Beck Hang Out, and “Who’s Next,” Thursday, March 19, 2020

Good Morning, Ungovernables! Listening to #BecomeUngovernable Radio has been proven to be very good for your emotional well being. (Not really. I just made that shit up.) But you should tune us in anyway. We’ve got a good one today.

TOM-RUSH

Here’s your social distancing line-up!

11:00 a.m.     Album of the Week: Who’s Next, by The Who

There’s a very interesting story behind this album and where the material evolved from. You can learn more by clicking on the image to the right in the Album of the Week feature box.

2:00 p.m.       In the Spotlight: The Music of Tom Rush     NEW!

Tom Rush is one of those guys who could easily go unnoticed, but that would be a giant mistake. Tom Rush has influenced an entire generation of musicians, including Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne and James Taylor. He is credited by Rolling Stone magazine with creating the era of the singer-songwriter. Tom Rush has been a quiet force in music for a very long time. I recently saw him in Portsmouth, New Hampshire (his birth place), and he was doing just fine at 79.

7:00 p.m.       Mick Jagger & Jeff Beck: Live at the Country Club, Receda

Tune us in, people. All you need is a computer or a phone.

It’s Mudcrutch Monday & New “Live” Music From Steve Winwood, March 16, 2020

Good Morning, Ungovernables! How are we? Getting ready for the big shut down? You’d better tune us in. We’ll be going here 24/7 with non-stop music. Today, it’s a Mudcrutch Monday.

Mudcrutch-Blurt-John-Boydston-Tabernacle-2016-4

Here’s today’s line-up:

The band that would eventually morph into Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers is another great story in an already legendary musical career. Formed in 1970 by teens in Gainesville, Florida (including Petty), they would morph into the Heartbreakers, and the rest is history. But Tom Petty would bring them back in 2009, and they blew the doors off venues during their 2016 tour.

It’a The Sixties On Sunday & Our New Album of the Week (Who’s Next), March 15, 2020

Good Morning, Ungovernables! Yes, it’s our monthly Sixties on Sunday play day, and we introduce our brand new Album of the Week!

The Sixties Rotation

Here’s your programming, and don’t be fooled by the light programming! Tune us in!

11:00 a.m.     Album of the Week: Who’s Next, by The Who   NEW!

Who’s Next was the fifth studio album released by The Who. It was born from what was intended to be a follow-up multi-media opera to Tommy called Lifehouse written by Pete Townshend. In fact, the only song not originally from Lifehouse was My Wife, written by John Entwhistle.

Regardless of how it came about, Who’s Next is a great album with a bunch of really great songs. Not every album has to be a ‘concept’ album to be relevant. 

2:00 p.m.      The Sixties on Sunday: The Playlist

From the British Invasion to Woodstock and beyond. The best music on the planet. Now a monthly staple on #BecomeUngovernable Radio!

Tune in. Turn on. Drop out. Fuck this government.

Sixty-Six at 66 Returns, and A Special Tribute To a Special Album’s 40th Anniversary, Friday, March 13, 2020

Good Morning, Ungovernables! When in doubt, you got to kick the jams out. That’s what we’re doing today.

Dead for Post

Here’s your line-up for Friday the 13th!

12:00 p.m.     Sixty-Six at 66!

First aired on February 7, I chose 66 of my favorite songs ever (67 if you count the one for good luck) on my 66th birthday.

8:00 p.m.       Happy 40th Release Anniversary: Linda Ronstadt’s Mad Love NEW!

We are celebrating the 40th anniversary of the release of Linda Ronstadt’s new wave masterpiece, Mad Love. About Linda’s place in music history, there can be absolutely no doubt.  And there can be no doubt about where this album lies in her repertoire:

“Forty years later and Mad Love remains a testament to true artistry and following your gut when all those around are telling you not to. Although Ronstadt no longer sings, her legacy is not just her immense canon of work, but one of a woman who fearlessly defied all of the rules and did what she wanted, when she wanted, how she wanted and in the most exquisite manner that only she knew how to pull off.”
