T-Bone Burnett – #BecomeUngovernable Radio

Back to the work week as Christmas season in retail is in full swing. It’s never pretty. But we have got some great Monday music on tap to help get you through.

Here’s your Monday, Monday lineup:

10:00 a.m. Bob Dylan: Selections From the 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue

We start out with selections from Dylan’s 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue tour recorded in a variety of venues in the U.S. and Canada. Some of the folks accompanying Dylan on the tour are Joan Baez, Roger McGuinn, T-Bone Burnett, Scarlet Rivera, Ronee Blakeley and others.

4:00 p.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Yusuf/Cat Stevens

I remember when Tea for The Tillerman came out. I practically wore out the grooves. The Cat, as we used to call him when we were young, had delivered some of the best music on the planet. I also remember how badly he was treated here in the U.S. after 9-11 simply because he had converted to Islam. One of the darkest times in history. We’ve got another coming up soon.

8:00 p.m. The Byrds Live at The Boarding House, San Francisco, CA, February 9, 1978

A reunion of one of the most consequential bands in music history broadcast live on KSAN 95 FM, San Francisco.

Another work week rolls around, but we’re at work delivering the best music on the planet 24/7, 365 days a year, at no charge and with absolutely no commercial interruption. We’re the anti-capitalist station. The button is below. Listening is believing.

THE BUTTON.

Here we are again in The Mermaid Lounge, and we have successfully made it past mid-week in the Land of Oz. We have your lesson all ready for you.
