Today's show was gobbled up by the computer, so it's split in two files and isn't really the whole show. But there is a hint of what I was shooting for. Bummer, but hey it's a no bad news day. Hope to see everyone on Saturday night!
1) One Voice, The Wailin Jennys 3:24
2) Take It From Me, The Weepies 3:53
3) Listen To The Radio, Nanci Griffith 3:50
This is about music, about people, your neighbors, heard here on KDRT, 95.7 community radio. No East Coast bad news machines here, just music and local perspectives and more music, and people who volunteer their time to share their voices. This is about celebrating something so radically different and simple, this is good news radio, this is the voice of freedom and we here at Davis Media Access protect that freedom and we have a darned good time doing it.
4) No Bad News, Patti Griffin 4:03
5) Subterranean Homesick Blues, Various Artists 3:47
6) Rock Away Blind, Lindsey Buckingham 3:56
Letter to Pablo
by Nancy Bodily
Who then to teach you the delicacy of flowers
or listen with a conch to nations of oceans
when death, the thief, stole your mother
before infant fingers could grasp the words
Who then to teach you to cry in the arms of so many women
And did it sound like a march or a tango, Pablo
as words surrounded you until you couldn't breathe
taking flight instead to the libraries of Stalin
open and promising
Yet your persistent ocean of peace
called you back and back in waves
to embody her long, impossibly thin land of contrast
And how you swam in her rich waters
drank her wine in Boleto gulps
singing bird songs of equality
the comfort of the Andes at your back
And how the people embraced you
hid you in basements
mourned your death in the streets of Santiago
machine guns at their backs
And where are the poets now, Pablo
Polished stones listing in sheltered coves
waiting for the gathering of a disappearing light
7) Take Me To The River, The Talking Heads 5:01
8) I’ve Seen All Good People, Yes 6:15
I am the People, the Mob by Carl Sandburg
I am the people—the mob—the crowd—the mass.
Do you know that all the great work of the world is done through me?
I am the workingman, the inventor, the maker of the world's food and
clothes.
I am the audience that witnesses history. The Napoleons come from me
and the Lincolns. They die. And then I send forth more Napoleons
and Lincolns.
I am the seed ground. I am a prairie that will stand for much plowing.
Terrible storms pass over me. I forget. The best of me is sucked out
and wasted. I forget. Everything but Death comes to me and makes
me work and give up what I have. And I forget.
Sometimes I growl, shake myself and spatter a few red drops for history
to remember. Then—I forget.
When I, the People, learn to remember, when I, the People, use the
lessons of yesterday and no longer forget who robbed me last year,
who played me for a fool—then there will be no speaker in all the
world say the name: "The People," with any fleck of a sneer in his
voice or any far-off smile of derision.
The mob—the crowd—the mass—will arrive then.
