So there you go we re going to have some brand new to feed for 2020 social look forward to haven not ever 2019 has been an absolute g.a.m. Of the year as well for music and certainly local music mean been talking quite a lot. Recently about the amount of talent that seems to be in and around Liverpool him as he signs at the moment and one of our brightest stars as out an absolute belter of a year and that is Robert Vincent and it s always a delight when he comes in the studio he was with us about a month back now to play a couple chooses and that is because he is going to be putting out a brand new album in 2020 we know that is called in this town your own. And as much as a. Great success so far I honestly think that 2020 is going to be used is good just going to be the year that he just goes massive So Paddy in the day Ingle current search area last week to say before the year is out is there any chance of another play of Robert Vincent and so that is exactly what I ve got for yet today it is the lead track to be taken off the album an absolute beauty is this is this town. You gotta see. And you do. And. In this town. Because the shadow. She s the latitude from. New Zealand we ve been. In this among people. You didn t know your friend the No you follow. This little holy land He the. It s hard to count the times it s who s. On Ishaan boots soles a goal. Is to. Use Is being. Isn t it that you go Robinson with a stone taken from his forthcoming brand new album in this town you own a car remember he said I m thinking in my head it might be around February time I might have that completely wrong but whenever it is you can guarantee that going to get him back in to play for us again beautiful robins that likes to party in the dingle as well he suggested that we got more of them as he saw a talented with those as well not because it is time for a little bit a lot of music on the show and if you choose it a few weeks ago you might remember that we had Maggie Louise in the studio with us and just as she was leaving she said of the Everett Stevie O Connor in the studio with us and we said no when she said You gotta get him on and so when we had a little listen to me so yeah we ve got to get him on and I m very happy to say that is a very set in front of me now I love Stevie afternoon thank you so much for coming in and you look fantastic as well Steve s got most beautiful Stetson hat on with a lovely beaded beaded boundary around beautiful guitar as well and his I ve just nicknamed you have you on this afternoon the hurricane from Bromberg you re like the we re also wanted to Wayland Jennings on a face so the photograph so if you thought it s wavelength reincarnated am I So tell us a little bit about you and your music journey to the way you are now Ok so one obviously I m not from the where. But I just I do self subscribe to being a bit of a plastic we re all square all these states you ve been here over a decade and you get a passport that I happen to raise or 3 people boys in Bramber and Marta Brown broker or so I think that comes from the fact Latinos Yeah I m one of you know. But yeah it s been a great year over the last 18 months kind of a break a. Fax to my wife s very Give me a push proverbial to say get used to fighting and the more movie played a lot more you had a following and you know of it we talk by lay around but you know a couple of words of come the way and it s been a great year because we were just chatting as well because. You have got an album coming out in the Nguyen it s going to be your 1st album but I was quite stunned because it s actually going to be The faced recorded music that you put out despite I mean you ve already you re not if you ve got no music out there I met you when awards left right in center Yes be quite president it really but I think was a bit of a ploy of ours because for me music 1st and foremost play Lloyd Yeah the crowd the strategy was you know you have to come see him play life and then from that we gain a following and as you said yeah we managed to get a couple nominations I picked up a female a female and I think it s Ok to tell you the year. And at the very same age this year and as I just said you know could you musical. So it s great to be recognised and as you said not have actually and if you don t dish the waves it s not my usual I mean with accolades and not with any any music out and you know you mentioned that it was your wife who said come on and I often wonder about how many people you know saw away took away in the houses in the budget I know just amazing but they never have that push to go and do it Bull Music seems to be something that s always been a part of your life you know maybe not go out and do it I was always Country music yeah for sure I mean I grew up from Willie Nelson you name the man himself Wally Jennings not a limit on or. A love that Texas ain t for the most part or the organ of British country music scene a lot of people already considered me more an American Oist version of of course music but it s something from an early age I remember Don Williams record you re my best friend yet the age of 5 watch my grandparents danced to that record you know and from that moment have been a certain sort of discipline enough for me in the paper and yeah I suppose. It s becoming more prominent not because for whatever reason coach musical a professional. And it s been one of the biggest Royson joiners of the years really so I guess I ve always been a backward it was just it when the wave took me to a situation where courage music was a little bit more so accepted if you want yes sometimes you say Country Western people have a certain look or they have a certain object of what that means I think it s more like people seem to prefer to call it like America and like the Yankees but at the end of the day I mean it s 3 chords and the truth is the site is that it s that type of storytelling that I think you know each generation falls in love with you know I don t think it s a good thing could you please explain them things you can come back in a 100 years I m going to music still going to be you know did a great figure by is well it s for me to join or is it anybody can get involved in the john or is it my way you are where you ve come from if you go out and you going to shoot it s a rush through the ranks so to speak and that s why people like you play before of offense and you know doing incredible now and I remember Robert Finch Leben 12 years ago when he was playing in a cover band actually called by one no name so I know to follow him. Try to play drums from once actually but it s great to see that it s probably in the last 3 years that he start to get some of prominence and people waking up to some the town not only do we have in this region but not John really you know so we re going to do a couple of tunes for us so you re going to do 1st so the 1st one I m going to do is a song called Willow So we ve got Stevie O Connor in the studio with us sir. 3. Weeks. Call her. Hanging. 2 6 down. Hard. On the left a. 6 6 6 6 to. 6 find. A. Now we. Are. Not going to be. 6 up. To. Go hang. Just to color. Hanks and. Never. Say. Never 6. And he. Has a strange. A . A. Well the power in your rice is a reliever allows Steve you know going to Gotland in the studio with us this afternoon with his truck Willow and is that one of the ones that is going to be on the new album he s so excited so what s it been like them for someone who s been I mean could you talk to are all over the place you get out they get in for a long time to kind of go into the formality of a studio was it something that you as a thought that you would you know cook a few years ago that you would go into a studio make an album I always thought it would be perfect and always run away from and I think the response was a bit of a perfectionist and even now in the studio here song cuts in re cuts you know and then you realize Steve you just got to get it right yeah and there s like I said earlier on in the last 18 months Lane So like tonight people want to take away and it s a way of expanded it but it s fantastic I am in the studio but also don t for me because I m not well so no one has a live act some of the struggles you have in studios reproduce and yeah life signed Yeah. When you live I mean you usually backed with a band or you re out there solo yob quite flexible so I play of course play my over kick drums that s more the acoustic matter of stuff but I also play with a 5 piece band so we re known as Ross Nancy s and that s 4 for 4 more of the festival circuit and yeah I bet that that s quite broke us yeah yeah you call it good honky tonk you know. What s it been like picking the songs for the album of these songs that you ve had so of in your back pocket you had like you know a lot of them have been played life but because I ve gained such a following I want to give them something back so I feel you re going to see a bright 505050 percent of what I ve played over the last year it will feature some of the ones really you know when we played Live had a good response to and then there d be 50 percent new material and I think that s noice is a good idea for those that find me and you know. Fans come to gay after gig to give something back to them but also give some. Of the news something I mean for to that part of it yeah because sometimes there s a set represent in music played life so I don t know the song as I heard it you know like yeah I guess that is supposed to have in a song live as well you know you ve got like the atmosphere of the place and you know on the night out in my if the best night out of your life you know the song when you re out there but I think as you say to take something home and to be able to capture that little nuggets of magic here and how that played the people in the road how you have something special for those who are seen especially the band we play so ror I mean all go with. Every intention to play the setlist and in fact always deter from it you have known who s in the audience and you know it s it s really a great live show you know I m plugging out but you know I always say you can see Stevie like it it s an experience and I think that s why we ve gained so many festival builds this year playing with some great people get in Mainstage slots you know and of course for the most part they want to hear music for even get on those yet if it were my 50 yes I said just just book a chain or you know you can get and then you get it right we are going to squeeze one another one in the full 3 o clock so what you re going to do for Ok so for play some little bit more traditional country considering you mentioned the great Willie Nelson This is a song I wrote for my grandparents in earlier on the show or talked to by the likes of. Grandson watching those 2 dance and 2nd part songs really did my grandfather used to dance this song with my 9. And then when she passed away in 4 she stopped since this is a bit of a tribute to my nan and this is Limerick girl. I m remembered. Wrote though. The dying. On. The. Band or trying. To touch your needle scratching. Song. At the moment to get over and go. On. The March. For the storm you all. Were where she had matching his girls and they all were to fall. Like she was the most strangest. Good day the whole. Were good Coleman and grandsons like me was for. Those k. To. Gold. Oh man the show the only. Planet you aren t suited. To carry. On. Thanks to. The rigor of this call. Government. Home will do. Better. Over that he. Will. Go on. During. A 3 Richter home. Who. Is carrying. A. 2 should approve the cane. Moment. During a game or your home.

Sums up you will hear the thud record played on the track and also. By the storm Rosie s is an immense track just like the rest of the album of course it comes from the Rosie 2nd album in 1904 called The 2nd Coming and he says the song for me does not get the credit that it can only agree with those sentiments Ok We re going to play this next track it was going to be a cover version of the song by Lulu and Elton John for my great record in 2002 a great little album called together but has got in touch and we decided to kill a flipper and go back to the original version and she says it is just a perfect timeless record which sounds as good today as when it was fussily still way back in 1980 and it always gets me on the dance floor so special. About the 1980 and album call conscious this is war and a brilliant single call teardrops. As nominated by Sandra Butler from the album conscious That s the sound of a woman I can warm Ike a song called written and also produced by sessile and Linda White and a great song called the tear drops and they were going to play is a say they all join and live action says maybe check their own You Tube clip because they really do a great version of that particular track Billie Sloan on b.b.c.

Lead vocals which it includes the line in the lyric go now before you see me cry it s a brilliant song and the l Iran a robber McGuire near her nominated my sentimental friend by Herrmann s him as author of the great single from the 1960 s. Brunell does not agree he says all Helminths here much you can never be a Smashy and they see moment he says the song certainly made me weep I think it s a great song but each to his own Ok I promise you a truck from The Boss Bruce Springsteen This is from a the performances from his brand new movie which is called West on Stars coincidentally that s also the title of his 19 this should be album and he reckons that the album was influenced in a big way by brought back right Glen Campbell Jimmy way people like that he recorded the song with a full orchestra in a barn adjacent to Sosa New Jersey and this is a boss and I great try from western stars called to sew on train. You wonder where Bruce Springsteen gets all his energy and not only did he spend more still 2018 performing on Broadway that are one month short and Broadway was only supposed to be over but for 5 weeks ended up for being something like 12 months solid playing 5 or 6 shows a day and somewhere in the middle of all if and the trying to not only write but record a brawny album which is a great record called West on stars on the war does is that Springsteen s not going to chew of this particular album he s going to keep his gun powder dry and he s going to write another album yet another album and tour in 2020 with the e. Street Band I m certainly looking forward to that effect as well from the album west on Stars and a great song called Tucson train asking on the program tonight do you have a favorite song about crying a shedding a tear in some ways. Shape or form and Jimmy Russell gets in touch he says faint subject for a hellishly way Saturday night Billy says a few song titles etched on my taxi windscreen and the outyears in heaven by Eric Clapton No Woman No Cry by Bob Marley in the Willows don t cry by Guns and Roses and last but by no means least stop crying your heart by oyster s all saw. Todd and thoughtful get in touch Normally it s a great song crying in the chapel by the king of rock n roll Elvis Presley Chris Lane from Tottenham goes by concerts sorry I missed the start of the program he says try raindrops falling from my eyes by the late magnificent the clock he says the rain stopped 5 the rain stopped the train 5 minutes from Tottenham I think is the train stopped 5 minutes from Tottenham and you missed the programme but listen to it once again on the b.b.c. Sounds up when you hear a question Martin Mysterians and 96 years as the 3rd record in the program David and Bayliss and says Bob Dylan side eyed lady of the Laurence on the outstanding double LP Blonde on Blonde he says it just about fits I think he says I will give you a 12 minute break he says Fill 2nd side of the 2nd their piece is filling up Dylan s baby stop crying from the under-rated changing of the guard among the have to say that s one of my favorite Bob Dylan tracks maybe trying to slot an over the next few weeks Ok Once upon a time I was lucky to see this guy open for Tina Turner 100 park in Glasgow he played all his band s classic as their song once again when he guested with Bruce Springsteen and the e. Street Band in 2009 in Madison Square Garden as part of the rock n Roll Hall of Fame 25th anniversary concert and I m a huge fan of John Fogarty formerly of The Band Of course Creedence Clearwater Revival Let s go back to 1984 as thought should be our bond solo album is a great record called center field and there the video for us was absolutely fantastic maybe later on Checco a new chip because it really is well worth seeing once again and the song was a year s top 10 this is John Fogarty and the old man down the road. If you remember the video for the trike of course the camera follows the ken a guitar lead right as it sneaks its way through the the desert sands and ends up with a John Fogerty himself playing guitar in the middle of the desert from in 1004 and a brilliant singer called the old man down the road Billy Sloane b.b.c. Radio Scotland here with you until 1 o clock in the morning 21 minutes of the program remaining still going along great nominations from people to nominate a favorite song about crying or shedding a tear me just says Teele swallowed he says if no f.

That is a performance of all mirrors it s angel Olsen in performance for the World Cafe her new album is all mirrors available now Angel welcome to the show thank you so the record originally even though it is this very beautiful lush layered record its initial beginnings have a little bit to do with the record you would never associate with that which would be Nebraska from Bruce Springsteen is that correct Yeah well I I made. A stripped down version of these songs sort of along the lines as my 1st e.p. Strange cacti interest home recorded so that was the goal and then eventually the songs grew and I wanted them to take on different forms and so now I have 2 versions of them but no one has heard you know the other version and yet when did you realize the songs needed something. More after you recorded it when you were sitting and living with them well I had I had gone on a solo tour and performed a lot of the songs and knew that they could grow and become other piece but I also enjoyed the way that they were stripped down so I just wanted to continue to do that I guess it was more of an experiment to see if I recorded these songs in the form that I wanted. Would it allow me to collaborate more on them and the truth is that yes I did and so a lot of them change form completely. Which was it was difficult at 1st and then became really really fun when you say difficult at 1st and then lead to fun what was what was that sort of aha moment. When I started to realize that the collaborators involved the string Rangers and Jon Congleton had these textures and mind it didn t immediately make sense to me. Some of the arrangements were so crazy that I was I wasn t sure if they would work on the songs and I had to allow myself to imagine them in a different way and I had just recorded a solo version of it so I needed to sort of separate that experience from this other experience and so that was the hardest part and then once I was in it and saw the that certain textures and since and strings had a kind of pattern within the record it started to make more sense it s cool that you have these these collaborators but I also read that part of this process was was also taking control in a certain way and that. I want to make sure that this right but the people that maybe you re backing band that you had worked with in the past you went with a different group of personnel when you actually recorded the record I want to make sure I get this right Ok so I made these songs I want to strings on them it didn t make sense to ask my backing band which had been a rock n roll band to be a part of the project initially and I wasn t Yeah it was all kind of coming together piece by piece every part of it so. The drummer ended up being the one person of the backing band that was part of it but I had to kind of be like hey you know this is the 1st time that I m not working with us sort of the director of what s happening this guy Ben Babbitt and I are working together and we re coming up with the parts for the songs you know will come to you after we re finished with them and it was this sort of backwards thing but I needed to take a minute away from the way that my woman and previous records had been done because this one just it just didn t require the same. Feeling and I knew that it would need bass and drums and all of that but I didn t know exactly how or how many songs would need them and then eventually I realized all of them would but at 1st I thought of some things would just be strings only got it you know so it was a lot of because I didn t know who I would need I just decided to do that sort of last so in the middle of the project I don t want to call people in and say hey can you come over now I just wanted to be clear and so yeah it was hard it was hard to say hey I don t want to be a part of this because it s really different you know it s hard to do that yeah I admired candor and honesty talking about that we re talking to angels in the new album is all mirrors this is The World Cafe You know the critical response on the record has been nothing short of incredible just a lot of the major to do publications have really embraced that record and sometimes after a little bit of a sonic shift there s always that are they have been doing their sound or anything like that Were you surprised with the response that you ve received critically on this record I was I don t think every record will be like this in the future you know I shifted sounds because I needed these songs to fit into a different. Background and I am surprised because you know a friend of mine was saying that oh they ve got the new record on at this restaurant it s a really nice restaurant and they re blasting it and I was like oh I better be careful because they re speakers because it s pretty loud at points unexpectedly and it s in my mind I was just very surprised that anybody would be listening to it sort of casually because for me that s more of the previous record that I made and this one is more maybe it s not for everybody because it s so focused we re talking angels and here her new album is all mirrors this beautiful record a full song on the record that we really liked that we re going to hear next called chance can you tell us about it. So chance I wrote it was one of the last songs I wrote for the record and. Yeah it was one of the most difficult songs to to mix because it was so lengthy and it didn t seem as as difficult when I recorded it solo but when we added strings and all of these arpeggiated shins and stuff on piano and there s just a lot going on but it ended up being in the end my favorite track of the record awesome or we re so glad that we can play it and like I said the band is tremendous This is a live recording folks here on the World Cafe it s Angela Olson in performance this is chance. This is. To. Move. Love this. In performance for the World Cafe it s angel Olsen summer. Something light hearted because I read that you are a cat person I am.

Says he could never cue what they. Find never. A just the fashions Chinese didn t critics needed the songs a song just as true tonight as they the struggle who carried. Those struggle we will. Win the soul move freedom rings out loud from the valleys and from here to us where people stand up full of the rights Phil Ochs He s with us do Phil Ochs inspire. Us to. Yes he dies this is Dick flax this is the culture protest. And tonight we re going to observe 2 anniversaries connected to 2 of the foremost troubadours of the last half century political we conscious troubadours if you will and the 1st is obviously Phil Ochs. Billy Bragg we just heard him sing a tribute song to Phil Ochs memory Phil Ochs was born assembler 191940. He died at a very young age he died at age 35 he committed suicide. And next year will mark a anniversary of that as well as he rounded off the 80th anniversary of his birth. Phil Ochs was not the most well known of the remarkable group of singer songwriters who came on the scene in the early 1960 s. He was a contemporary of Bob Dylan of the Tom Paxton of Joan Baez and a number of others pioneers of. The the so-called folk song revival. Children if you will of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger who wrote new songs based on traditional melodies and instruments like guitars and banjos at 1st any rate new songs to congeal with contemporary reality but rooted in the folk traditions that was Woody Guthrie s project it was Pete Seeger s project and it became. Something that Bob Dylan and Phil Ochs and the others tried to do with even more fame and success then then their father figures well Phil Ochs had less of that fame and success. Because he as Billy Bragg implies was not only not compromising but one thing too can connect his work and his life and his actions much more closely with the movements of his day then Dave even. Joan Baez let alone Dylan and the other troubadours. He. He was there at the rallies he was conscious of his role. As a performer in aid of movements and he sang as we ll hear some samples of some pretty bitter. Songs about the powers that be and he also wrote some beautiful songs. As well and we ll sample his work tonight but the other person we ll turn to before our hour is over John Lennon whose death was observed 1980 December 11th. That murderer cut short his young life and we won t do as much with John Lennon s work as we are going to do with Phil Ochs tonight because you may know much more about John Lennon s work than Phil Ochs but we ll pay due notice to the convergence of these $2.00 anniversaries about 2 troubadours who gave much and died young. Last week in the program we did about Seattle we also took note of the anniversary of the Free Speech Movement in 1964 in December. Of 1964 at Berkeley and we played at the end part of one of Phil Ochs songs Phil Ochs was inspired by the events at Berkeley to write a song that still spite some references that might not make too much sense today the song still probably rings shrew for a lot of students on American campuses so we let s reprieve is this Phil Ochs classic from 1964 or 5. I was just a student here and Claire but it s hard to read through their eyes for the books that you like to bear. To make a promise not to love. Because of this I. Say And now. Given me. My name to get around this campus life I need a plan and years learning. Bomb somebody. Got something to say there I m gonna say that. I wish that you make up your mind I wish that you decide that I should live as freely without sound. And clubs are the right. Hand And I ve got some say it s fair to say you. Like To Be My father you like to be my dad and give me a kiss is what I m good at spank me a wound. That stands out of my soccer club out of my. Guts up. Say it out. And things that. Are in here. But I ve got a friend or 2 longer live on. Respect our elders justice love is the. Guts of the say. I ve read of other countries where the students take a stand maybe even jewelers rather later. Now a cause of clubs were all sold out and how. Sir I m not saying I m. Proud on a gain antenna is a lot to do but if nobody listens my policy is to hit men and young. Or not when I ve got something to say it s not a science now. Son. But it s time to read through their eyes from the 2 touch aloud to. Sign the megaphone as I ve learned some egg on I ve got something to say Sarah I ve got to say and I. Think you know that song could be re written an updated tribute to Gretta might make sense in this kind of context she s sure demanding to be heard and is being heard. And some of the. Conditions that drove the Berkeley revolt and that drove that song no longer obtain but we are in the midst of a new generational rising and for good reason since the future for this generation now rising is so uncertain so precarious so frightening still looks song still pertains more than 50 years later. Phil had. He was frustrated with the fact that someone like Dylan had so much more recognition and fame an audience than he did and yet he did create a number of songs that became standards and may still be ones that people know and saying. And one pretty striking one. A song that has been adopted by military marching bands and people like Anita Bryant and other right wing people as a as a patriotic anthem. He Phil Ochs I think had something more in mind than simply celebrating this country listen closely this is from a recently released cd of the last concert he ever gave which was 1973 and by then he was suffering quite often from depression. Feeling that the world that he had hoped to bring into being was not happening. Many factors perhaps contributing to his. Ultimate demise but here he is in concert. I think he d 73 but one of his early songs is what he sang that night. Michigan with the impression that I was some kind of unpatriotic guy from. Case anybody out there wondering what s going on here. Sing to you a patriotic song I wrote when I was a kid I thought that there was some hope in this country I don t usually sing and only sing it when it looks like there s some kind of. Promising thing happening right now a promising thing is the fault of the federal government. So yeah he s singing this song at the midst of the Watergate controversy the fall of Richard Nixon that s why I want to play it tonight Come on take off with me through this green and growing life. To the meadows and the mountains and the. Balmy the There but for fortune Phil Ochs that was a top 40 hit by Joan Baez I don t think she had more than that one. Pop hit but Phil Ochs wrote it s as you can just heard Phillips was capable as I remarked earlier of. Being able to write some really beautiful songs one of the most to my ears beautiful ballads. Of our time was like several of the songs recorded by a number of people in the early to mid sixty s. This is. Very Young Phil Ochs. Visions of shadows. To know none of them. And. Of the change the. World spinning. Then the. Swing through a painting. On the stock. Journey Through the. Subway gate. With change in the room. Of Magic. And then. All fares of the. Morning and bring their small. Golden drops of. Change the. Good strains mellowed the. Spires were times burned cold the puddle in the wind and where Papa steer the search there are strings and so. Whole of change and the. Tears will be. Playing now a. Bottle. Of water it will fall. On Mon. And only here on the rolling show of. The change. Not as close. As. The. Leg needed. Well to give you an idea of the. Sort of versatility of Phil Ochs as a song make her. Here s a very contrasting couple of songs this one is unusual display of might say the power of a song. It s called the draft dodger rag it s a humorous song but in the course of. This song he s actually describing a series of ways that a young man might find to evade the draft. And these are always some of them a bit exaggerated but they re all on the same track that was used by many many kids in the Vietnam era. Not to protest a draft that was a more open public act of resistance but to figure out how to get some kind of exemption or deferment based on your condition very clever song by Phil Ochs and a instructive one quite possibly numbers of people listen to it. I ve found it s advice of use. American. American time. And when it came time to search. The room. When I got to. This. Day and I got a Rogers plane. Carrying I m like a bat in my. Career hard. Work and then. I got it. Back I m allergic to flowers and. To get up. To 2000 I got the weakness. In the heart to reach my knees and it. Probably started to. Carry a. Lot of my life. Yes thinking my career. Is a. Show in la. Thing you got a season. Or there and. Given how. The 1st. Thing in my career. Is not. Working at the plant. Even mention bone spurs. And it occurred to me I was listening to that we ve had at least 3 presidents Trump Clinton and George w. Bush who evaded the draft in something like the way that that song recommends or indicates might be possible. Well Phil Ochs wasn t always laughing to say the least at. At the military and authoritarianism and us imperialism but he wrote some of the most important and I guess lasting songs about all of that. In the. Telling. Be on their backs. To the. Is there any. Good. You know. Is there any body hair good thing. With. My. Wow I. Was shaking. There and. D good things there s a man in taller. So . I was. On a street. Called. The. Route of the. Show. I d like you. To take all the way in the States. Is there. Was. I want to wish. I was on a street. Call his name. Out of the. And they re not afraid. I d like to ask. These. Why don t I have to ask him what it I don t think Phil Ochs new how powerfully influential songs that he did like that and the others we ve heard were in helping to shape the anti-militarist anti-war feelings of the generation it s not that these songs were super popular he got a good deal of notice but they were cherished and they helped I think raise the commitment of quite a lot of people. That s the power of song One hopes to be able to achieve that. Kind of effect Phil was and I can tell you from some firsthand in King encounters with him. Always upset with the fact that he didn t know what he was accomplishing to be probably because he measured. His achievement too often by the commercial indicators. It s very hard to know if your song that you ve dropped into a pool has had ripples that go out and chip reach and change people and it s really the tragedy of his life he killed himself one presumes with a great sense of loss and disillusionment and failure and yet. His memory can continues and he inspired quite a lot of younger generation people especially in the d i y the punk movement there were there are a number of tribute albums that were done by. Punk oriented musicians in the in the eighty s and ninety s and in a farewell concert or not farewell but a tribute concert to him Sunny Oaks a sister has tried to keep Phil s memory alive by I knew all. Song fests of Philip songs and here she s joined with a number of other performers at the Kerrville festival folk music festival I guess this is. In the ninety s but maybe after and they re saying one of the most magnificent songs I know by Phil Ochs very poignant song. Given his demise but a song that any of us can use and saying. As a way of of affirming our lives. There s no pain says this. Mom. Freedom for a. Long. Time Well tonight we re getting the results of the British election and I m not sure fully what they show but the hope for maybe miracle that. Somehow labor Jeff Corwin Corben could. Gain a victory hasn t happened still it was a powerful movement that emerged behind him and labor thousands of people rallying and canvassing and seeking to overturn Boris Johnson and the Tories and. I m not sure if it s such a bad thing for the future that Johnson has to come into office and face the disastrous consequences of the policies that he has articulated and the promises that he has made with no clear path that fulfill them and his own. Various chick Amory s and. Failures as a human being in my humble opinion and any event I had a couple of songs that came out this week and that s one of the signs that a movement has come into being is that songs are being created and in this case 2 songs were released in the past few days in Britain. One by Brian even though the great creator of musical innovation electronic and other I He wrote a song called Everything s on the up with the Tories a satirical song and the highly popular and Molly Sunday. Took her song called You re Not Alone and did a video around it in support of labor and even though the songs did not have what they re presumably desired effect of electing labor they re worth listening to as a sign at least my intention to say that the movement that s emerged can t possibly be over it s just beginning. Everything s Ok I told her a. But to me she s. A. Keep. It s a yes or a cut. The song you. Sing song create the ball. That s the. Goal. Cutting back on. Say Ok let s. Take something out of her a bit.

This variance science or foreign. I thought its absence. Behind a sense of insecurity in the face of danger by the sense of discouragement why don t we sense this absence an absence that undergoes most complex elaborations and manifests itself in many indirect ways. No one is free of absence. Take from that the absent it s only as present in our subjective functioning ever absence was conscious we should be unable to function normally.

Magical bottles like this do you place to hide anything well away greeting answers. But. What puzzles me is that in all I read Walter never gave any serious information about what was happening in the next world he joked very much and make a very amusing remarks and be very playful Is that right. Isn t it strange to you that none of these serious people thought of asking him serious questions about what the next world was like Oh I think they did I think there are many questions like that. I can t remember. I cannot remember anything he told me. But. Did you see any of the physical manifestations the hand things like that well I was at a science when I saw a donut as they called it being put onto a hook. I think the fantastic thing that I ever saw. Crash and I went up to investigate the next morning and there was this cabinet built that was smashed and. I couldn t imagine how anyone could smash into pieces. I didn t have too much conversation with anyone. I was able to assume anything I could never figure out.

Request for Clark was put on the table at the last hand luminous side towards d.d. . Against it I saw a mitten like structure creeping forward near him. And the fly was stunned on its back. Its surface was now flipped several times and its end was curled up to. The structure had changed its shape. Like a projection 5 inches long and one inch and broad now extended from the main last which also had no longer a clear outline but was broken up irregularly like amputated fingers. As the structure was thrown about there was convulsive movement in all 4 arms of psyche. Our head then went several times on the table lying on its left side. Finally out of that room. Take stock of those around you hear them talk question in precise terms their surroundings themselves which would seem to point to them having ideas on the matter. But start to analyze those ideas and you will find that they hardly reflect in any way the reality to which they appeared to refer. And if you go deeper. You will discover that reality. There is not even an attempt to adjust those ideas or any for this matter. Right the contrary. Through these impressions I try to cut off any personal vision of reality.

Every year around $8000.00 people pay homage to John Lennon at his childhood home in Liverpool in the Lennon visit has now made by the way in 2009 to Mark John Lennon 70th Alexei Sayle takes the tour himself and other visitors as well as the custodian of the House why they do it when I left Liverpool at the age of 18 the city seem to be collapsing around me out of ideas and out of luck now when I retain I see smart shops bars art galleries and museums of nearly everything and there is one unique export which the city now where x. Is enthusiast Italy as it once imported cotton and molasses the Beatles. Last summer I took the National Trust chaw to John Lennon and Paul McCartney s childhood homes I was more moved than I could have imagined this year I m back at John Lennon s house Mendips to talk to the many people who visit and to find out about the extraordinary life of the custodian of the House Colleen hall the National Trust starts in a minibus outside a new hotel close to the album because if you would wear your belt or stuff because it s going to be a white the full ride is just it shows perhaps just that said Thank your many lives but I m sure. We all so close to anyone I know I know you ladies on your. Own that that s the case you know especially doing a show or in your hometown and the guys talk about you know people some think it is the pub where Richie frets you got his edge you can see that I never just drove past and I m among shreds now it s so sad. I said it will be. A shrine one. For. Us. As much as the House it s calling by finding throughly he actually lives here to me inhabits a strange twilight Well somewhere between the 1950 s. And now as he chokes I sometimes wonder whether he knows about 911 and if I show my cheap mobile phone what he think I m a wizard and he areas well you get the gates of 251. Ladies and gentleman like to welcome you to Mendips which is of course the childhood home of John Lennon This is where John lived for 18 years from 945 when he was just a 5 year old boy right through till 963 when of course she was 23 and in that famous as one of the Beatles it is. Now legendary half the. As you mention my thing for taking pictures. Of course presenting a program for Radio 4 means that I get a special private tour from calling where I can take as much research time as I like and ask lots of pets and questions one of the things that you child may hear last time I was here was there s always been that thing that John seemed. More middle class because of the house than Paul but what you just said how you thought they came to acquire this house maybe in. A quiet Well Mimi and George were living in a house directly behind Mendips in 1982 when they saw that Mendips had become vacant in the war if a property was vacant you could take possession and I think that s how they came into possession and here we are at the back door this means kitchen the house rule if you like here and that all visitors come to the back door this is very much 1950 s. For somebody brought up in a pool 950 s. This is it this is how my house look drying rack for instance I mean it s rather you know it s kind of an elaborate kind of hoists we could drive. Over the Coker so you can actually get the smell of cooking into. The house where it was everything to. Lead this this contraption and then I thought your life must be extraordinary He seemed like a kind of a cultural lighthouse keeper in the way we live in the back room do you know upstairs. As one of the borrowers radios I live he lives in. And then you sneak out at night yes and you cook chicken chicken. Is that one of the cupboards there that opens up and in fact behind it is a secret to he s made fridge you re absolutely right it is in some ways a strange life and I love the idea of being a lighthouse keeper or one of the bar. I think that s. What I do use the house you know when nobody s here but I don t stay confined to the one room that is dedicated to me upstairs I move out and spread around and I do have things hidden the way the reminders of my childhood are everywhere in this house it s poignant stand on settling to find the Minucci eye of your past so powders in the night time drinks in a museum I ve got that through me through which is this elaborate kind of. Arts and Crafts drawing there s a youth in a kind of target off the shelves. And a woman again in a kind of Grecian outfit she s holding aloft laurel wreath and she s about to annoying to this lad this heroic boy who s Schwarm 250. John that is that he s being crowned as if he s you know defeated the Spartans and he s swung 250 yards and just really it s not you know membership card hell fire. Collins George takes you from the morning room home of John Lennon s for me sit if you get into the living room where Paul and John 1st played together and then to the porch Well it was in this glazed poor church that the boys John Paul would come and sing play support self told me he said we looked plain in the porch because it s got a great bathroom acoustic we call it our record chamber and of course it hear the sound of getting takes the boys word step closer to that rock and roll sound when you re on the show one of the our neighboring things is the number of people who come to visit on officially every few minutes new people will arrive and stand at the gate taking pictures with their phones the national Tristram s 4 shows a day doesn t it but continually while your inside on this side of the wire on the other side of the wire there are taxis pull the porno with people who ve paid a lot more surprise but aren t allowed beyond that Gates but you feel a slightly ambiguous relationship with those those people on the other side of the gates who can come in really and they ve paid some taxi driver often only to bring him in part of the reason for us to be able to open this house in the area that it is is that we agree to push people in and to restrict the number of people who can actually come into the house if I m doing the gardening and I m out there saying you know give you 50 quid to come in or something like that and you you have to say no and I feel awful sometimes saying well I m really sorry however you. People stories yeah I ve learned to be resilient. There are plays. And. People come here for all sorts of reasons they re bringing. The stories and emotions into this house that I m not a world so I have to be respectful of that s what. And which people can come and be close to John in their own. Lives. And they want to see where the Beatles lived we were at the concert at the Allen White. Hall and nice to see where John King probably always wanted to learn more about them that s my era getting an essence of who John Lennon was his child and his life his struggles his challenges and his successes and just feeling that you can feel that when you come here and experience it I like the idea of them all in the living room in the fan stream in the house where they weren t supposed to be . Playing instruments still magically know what it must ve been like. It really is overwhelming That s about the only word that I can use for it just thinking about all the things that happened in this little house with John and Paul really getting together for the 1st time and it is extraordinary the drama pulls out in the polls that. It really does have an amazing acoustic just after we broke up in this living room here my wife and I went in there and we re doing a bit of singing and it is amazing how much. You know listen do you want to know What secret do you promise not to tell. Clothes. You go to a lot of historical places and people have been dead for hundreds of years. You come here and it s during your lifetime and so it s. Just excited about being here. Melancholy or yes. Of where it all started so just to be just to be here with the story and it s really exciting because not just choice for whom this house evokes memories my Cadwallader is John Lennon s cousin he was charged by Yoko Ono who bought this house in 2002 and gave it to the National Trust with restoring it back to the way it was when he was a child when I was old enough to do things good news a very practical lady we started visiting women on the weekends and I would take over the jobs that John didn t want to do like mowing the lawn and weeding my cousin David Knight sort of became the mini sort of handyman for the mid fifty s through to me went on to pool in 645 we were here nearly every weekend he tell us how you came to be involved with you know the house as it is now and during the eighty s and ninety s I lived out in Cheshire could I worked at Barclays Bank and all of a sudden after the run of usual correspondence and calls with Yoko she said Oh Michael we re doing we re doing Mendips we re buying a house we d like it to be restored as it was when John was here so I said Ok I ll I ll do that the lovely thing about it was when we 1st came in the house still had a spirit about it I think the main thing was that the people who lived here for most of the time since me left they hadn t bothered about really beyond that then we started getting down to things like what was it like when you were here and it became to sort of draw out a lot of things I had not thought about for 40 years but occasionally in frustration I did have to say to them Look I was a child the latest i was he was a teenager and I wasn t sort of examining the paint work and picking up the carpets to see if the floor. I think to be fair the trust has done a fabulous job here and it really is just like coming home to me as it feels you know I don t catch my breath every time I come in still it s strange really there s just so much family history was here apart from my own house my parents house is the next biggest. Influential place in my life it s still a shock to find your childhood reproduced. Almost a bit but it s quite nice in a way because if we re talking about the time of the thing I recount is when they made the Please Please Me album he was living here with Cynthia and I came over as usual I think on the Saturday morning this time. We made an album. When I would. Suspect We did seem a very happy time and there s a danger to. The past so. Sometimes I do wish I hadn t been such a teenager and I had a bit more about the place. Where. I was looking That s a photo of the famous Wilson fate gay said Right yes yes point. A junket Yeah yeah the local paper said that I wasn t actually probably because I was sitting down and maybe thought I was one of these kids in the crowd but the local newspaper there was a story saying drama Michigan. Is a really. Local rag again calling Hansen was on this the drama with the quality men John Lennon s ban before the Beatles he self-deprecating about how he joined the group oh went down and met John in the other lands and took me down to the fact that I had a drum kit which was fairly red and it didn t matter that I couldn t play as. Least memories of this. I didn t come here initially and join the group a number used to come and I do remember the hassle in the front room that sort of me. Me me. And I never knew it I used to knock at the front door and be invited in all the other lads tell me they were told to go around the back and he would say John your friends here I Remember Me Me as the 1st adult that really talked to me like an adult I should talk to the other wives on an equal kind of power although she was a sort of a formidable woman a cross between a head mistress and a librarian I always thought. She would invite us into the a little back room there for cups of tea and we d sit around cups of tea and we would talk just did she seem happy to have you that Mimi wasn t one to let you see whether she was happy or sad to be honest with me movies always me me you know if you must have enjoyed it in so make because you wouldn t tolerate it otherwise you just you know just kicked as I wouldn t say yeah I always knew the 2 going to be bake the gals are piled around with you know we didn t want them to be for us because you knew you d lose them and you know in 3 to Norris Frieda Kelly at the time had an enviable job amongst her peers she was The Beatles fan club secretary would you come to this house a while into old patterns houses on how I started to and that was. In 62 they had the hit record and then they you know Please Please Me people found out the how much us outside Liverpool and they started right into their home addresses so the parents were getting a lot and you now Mr Mrs Housman fine with it I used to call Mr McCartney Uncle Jim He was Ok he to basically put Mamie and Richie s pans out and hire e they didn t really know what to do so the used to come in and then they said they asked Well Richie actually asked me what I can do is made and I said No I ve got too much you know I m going to time and he said well known does know what to do then I said well look I ll show you the percent of the Simpsons where. Sensor painting to ring go in 1963 or something can you get around to answering her letter in 1905 or something. A lot I remember when he came into the office it was me and my chop up and he said to me can you do my and I said Not really I always had you know we could work around you if you so I said Oh all right you will bring it in and I remember he proceeded about 11 Lass s in a plastic bag and I think the whole to say that oh you go up and but with me me and me was quite good I would come once a month so how much mail with the baby in the house it was quite a loss you know you know. So you Hoffa Sockeye would go through you know we mean me so you didn t come back to this house to 2008 I was actually apprehensive about coming and then when I got outside I left who I brought it was an American group I brought with a Fred and I let them go in and it was just odd it was sadness you know but also when I walked in I was so what they ve done what they ve tried to do I ve lived all these memories flashing back to me and when I left I felt a lot happier you know yeah. I mean there is you could say it was totally aspect to this other guy but you felt. You know his son John is wow you know him. But I didn t lift it when I just thought this is a step above kids and it s like a memory box you know things clothes and he think he forgot me I mean I walked him hey just came on the floor and then when I left other stuff oh he s reading things you know stuff you. Know. That we grew up in the Times of bagels so we just one of the chemistry what it was really with them and really. Really why just annoyed me you recently is that somebody thought yeah relating my hope I would have made a way to you know yes the fact that John you know John which he is. Now I mean do you feel that you have a sense of that. Here some think so our sense to you know Susie the plaque. It just gives you yeah yeah yeah very well to. Show the 2nd choice of the date telling us just. Waved them off and like a kind of station master I thought in the Railway Children and now you ve got a break in which for you launches are you very kindly make me coffee then when I have once in the I mean what you usually do in this period it isn t just dinner for me obviously I have a long show on a day like this I will sit in the garden of a moment s thought I m always aware that the garden needs doing or I ll need to come in and sometimes I have to kind of strip the shelves in here all the crockery and wash it because that you know they get dusty basically the long dinner there is for me to do all the housework to get the job well I applied for it I was with some friends and they said they d seen an article in the news in the times that the trust was looking for a custodian and they jokingly said you re just a chump for the house and well I realize that almost bought all my friends for most of my life by interest in the Beatles particularly John had just taken early retirement as a teacher and so I applied for it and I mean you don t come across as an obsessively I mean like some of the people that come through clearly you know there s a there s an aspect of Trainspotting about b. You don t come across by that story well I m really pleased to hear that because I think of myself as a fun but not a fanatic I do have other interests you know I love music in general I write about it I like to travel I ve got a family some people are interested in you for. This it s dawned on me lived here over the years that suddenly you re the man who lives in John Lennon s house and it gives you dare I say and I don t mean this in any kind of bigheaded way it gives you a certain mine and mine a celebrity and of course people like to you know get to know you maybe because it gives an opportunity for for them to come to the house as your friend and you see. You realize that maybe these invites to things because not because I m calling the whole book because I am. John Lennon s house here from Indiana Beatles fan from way back where I do you feel about just in John s That was the reason I came to Liverpool I had to stand in Mimi s house. All you dreamt it would be very much I love the way they ve kept it in the summer Yeah it s very very nice I mean I probably wouldn t be tempted to come if it hadn t been for the Beatles connection but it s lovely to be. A young man in this town it s just fantastic it s like ghosts you can really feel him growing up here I think it s very own Now it s on the lawn having lunch on John Lennon s lawn and you can things that Mimi would never have dreamed of peppers stuffed with cream cheese imitation chicken slices made out of Quorn and symbiosis on the head of more than $150.00. They re not real friends you know. There s no come to see you they don t like you they just come to see that I have to understand that it s nice to have it kind of ripped in. I guess that cat. You know if s. Mrs Mrs Rochester really cannot really she or the windows it catches fire between them how many people being here and since she been here well that s hard to estimate I would say it s. What 7 times 856000 people. So I have a lot of friends. Which ones stand out as there are I mean there are what you might call celebrity guests who stand out so James Taylor Bob Dylan amongst others Bob Dylan arrived unannounced on the Friday afternoon and the last afternoon tool booked in under another name so there was himself and 3 others and 2 ladies a thing from North Wales and when he got on the bus because he was wearing a hoodie the ladies from North Wales already and in the seats didn t recognise him the group that will leaving Mendips obviously clocked that it was Bob mobile phones came out people. Trying to take pictures. And it was at that point one of them said to me who is it and I said is Bob Dylan and those 2 ladies were delightful and I just said wow and they said look we ll look after ourselves you just show him around. And he was just someone who was obviously I felt really interested in the house and you know what happened in the House where John would have written songs where he and pull all the musicians would have played the nicest moment for me was talking to him about just William we were standing in John s bedroom and he saw the book on the bad and he wanted to know about just William and the Outlaws for me that was totally surreal talking in John Lennon s bedroom to Bob Dylan who I compare like to Shakespeare a modern day Shakespeare about. John John Lennon and just William. d let me take you. Out there in a way from Sussex welcome to Liverpool Yeah it s a great was a great heist you know billions of people up here grand jury think you d be you d be taking a holiday in living here it s so I mean it s huge if you d said that in the eighty s when it would be as kind of a trade concept a holiday in your own words as my 60th birthday so on mobile apps always want to see the homes of the Beatles didn t take a lot of persuading being fan myself and the she s actually seen the ones play live for I think she watched them sit she couldn t hear them because everybody screamed in those days just coming here to this house just makes people join in and come alive again it s it s incredible. He was tried as middle class go in but you can see where he got his age to his personality with his visits to places like straw he feels very. Red. I guess one of my most vivid memories is of the minibus turning up into ladies in traditional Japanese cost you got off the bus they were very very polite very quiet they came in and they listened to my talk as soon as I d finished they were straight up the stairs and they must have gone into John s bedroom and then suddenly we all heard this amazing wailing coming from upstairs and so I raced upstairs where one of the ladies was lying on John s bad. Didn t in tears obviously very very obsessive what it emerged was that as a little. Living in Japan she had a very tough childhood it was the music of John Lennon and The Beatles that had given her hope. House Yeah who would ever think that coming from you know British. Liverpool I think my friends that I grew up with if they heard. Or were. Said When people stop believing in religion that they believe in nothing but their believe in anything I mean there s a kind of an aspect of a secular kind of way. My bitchy. Some people I think that s true the majority of people I think most people have a different perspective on John recognized that he was all too human and I think that gives the appeal that he has that he you know he was John Lennon warts and all and he didn t try to hide things but for some people I do think there may be an element of you know that they re here it s almost like a pilgrimage. If you just. Make sure. That visitors was presented. By Stephanie it was 1st broadcast in 2009 to John Lennon 70. Which makes this year he would have been 80. This is this is. Radio 4 extra extra. Carlo This is Jim Lee It s 9 o clock and almost time to talk pod cast with Amanda little and in fact the pick of new podcast for December is next Angela bands will be here for Fridays comedy club 10 and later a celebration of the pub landlord and landlady with Pops disappearing at around 3 a day and then lot and then ladies reflect on what we re in danger of losing this side of the buildings 1st orders is the saving at half past midnight.

Hello and welcome to punk guest Radio Hour with me Amanda little end the show where we recommend the best book casts and chats the people who make them this week we ll be speaking to broadcasting giant David Dimbleby about his new series The Sun Kings a 6 part in-depth look at the media mogul Rupert Murdoch will hear how David was introduced to park casting and how it compares to his earlier work I absolutely love doing it it s exhausting I mean it s far more tiring than making a television film. And we ve more recommendations of great podcasts out in December from true crime to comedy to conversation we ve got you covered right up until Christmas joining me as usual for our monthly round up is the writer and t.v. Critic Scott bright and. First of all we thought it s important to mention that this is an election for. We realized obviously that s what we re hearing about the minute but it s quite nice to have David Dimbleby in a non election related way yes and he asked about what it was like to actually not be taking a look at. Election this year yeah he said a word to say about that coming up secrets for you to hear Well we ll start off with the poll casts to make you laugh because that s what we all need always but especially now as the nights are dark here very dark it s going to dark Why is this happening I swear this didn t used to have and last year I m going to Iceland during Christmas writing that user of a family holiday and we only realized after we booked the trip that we ve only got about 4 hours of sunlight a day sunrises at $1127.00 in sunset to $44.00. Sounds horrible but I knew it would be lovely Yes So you definitely need to be made to laugh 1st of all this one s called but where are you really from and this is the latest from Asia network s deep down and Desi podcast and this series sees an AK bar name daedra and so now Patel chatting to guests about their roots in a funny and engaging way and you particularly enjoyed this one with Harlan Yes I think it is because I mean I co-hosted show with you know how often I can 5 live but where I m only in the same room with him for an hour and of course we only talk about t.v. So of course they hear about his life is his family what would he think about being British about his upbringing this is really quite interesting is a bit like having it s just spy on your own colleague It s great thank you so much for doing this podcast and with all the guests I start the same way and ask the same 2 questions and you can answer this have you like on the questions are Where are you from but where are you really from oh my god how many times I answer that question I want answered that question in a pub in the Bogside of dairy which is known to be quite rough place right and it s called the Bogside in and the windows are all brick top so you can t look inside this pub and I no longer with us this is just so maybe 5 years ago and I m walking through the Bogside honest. Sunday afternoon because Radio one a during an event in Derry struck Londonderry and I decide to wander out into the box side which is quite notorious Republican Catholic area of dairy and I see this pub and I think to myself I can not walk into this park right there already cause almost stopping screeching as they see this brown fella walking through this part of Northern Ireland I think this know why I can t go into this pub right if anything it s going to be good for an anecdote which I can tweet while in a and e. And here we are Ok so. Exactly and here we are so I go up to the door and there s this fella it looks like an extra from a danny dyer document tree he looks a little bit scary this bloke said Is it Ok for come in so I looks me up and I guess why we re not I m not good accent Yeah and I was a.

You re listening to World Cafe arena Duras the Byrds The Beach Boys The Mama s in the Buffalo Springfield in the mid sixty s in Laurel Canyon l.a. They were electrifying folk music and putting on the radio for the 1st time they were making the music that would make music history. On that amazing moment. All telling stories to. The film s executive producer and visit his conversation with her along with the film s director and music industry veteran Slater in the canyon is now streaming on Netflix it s got a soundtrack full of covers done by Jacob Dylan and a band featuring guests like back Fiona Apple and. We ll hear. With Jacob in a bit but 1st here s Jacob Dillon. With the echo in the canyon band performing the plays on the album Slater who produced and directed the film it s really an amazing undertaking guys congratulations and welcome to World Cafe. Thank you for having us here yeah it s a pleasure so 1st of all the crazy band that we just heard perform live They re incredible and where do you find them. In a deli it really yeah not really you know you never know where you re going to find inspiration or a great musician there is a there s a deli in Los Angeles counters and in the early ninety s it was a place where Jake up and the Wallflowers had 1st started playing and it was a whole scene going on in Fairfax Avenue and in l.a. And but so will occasionally we go back there and I need Tuesday nights there s a jam session and some of those guys were there and so you know they became part of the of the band. And then in terms of assembling casts the folks that you have talking in the movie you ve got Eric Clapton David Crosby Graham Nash Stephen Stills Lou Adler Michelle Phillips This is like the most amazing rock n roll Rolodex that I can imagine So how did you go about approaching Are these people that that you know through your travels are you flipping through your phone sort of and thinking like oh yeah we should call this person we should call this person or their wish list I think most of them you know I think we knew personally or had connections to to be able to reach out some not the ones that kind of came up as I want to long were because the story was developing in a way that we needed to speak to certain people that maybe weren t the original number of people that we talked to tell me somebody like me an example of that. Well I m like maybe Lou Adler was somebody that wants a story really developed became clear that we needed to talk to him if he was willing and for people who don t know who he is why seen him sort of part of the story want to give some of his well Lou was responsible for recording all of the Mamas and Papas records and among many other great things don t produce or it s he produced Carole King but you know for us it was really looking at the songs and then the songs and performing them and then and then going to the authors of the songs to find out why they were written and what was going on at that time so those songs became the entry point to the bands and then we wanted somebody from either the author of the song if they were alive or someone from the band to talk about what was happening a why the song was written because there s always a great story behind every song yeah there is give a favorite story behind a song from the movie that you learned along the way well I did not know that the Mamas and Papas 1st single go or you want to go was. The subject of that song was Michel and the nature of her relationship with John Philips which was a loose one I guess well let s we have we I really have a clip of that part that that was to me also one of the standout moments in the film so I should just say for people for we hear this clip that. Michelle Phillips is married to John Phillips in the Mamas and The Papas and then she also has a moment with their fellow band mate Danny and here s what she says about that on the cover of our 1st album I m lying back in Danny s arms this is before we got cut really the 1st night that we were together we had all been sitting at the table and John and Cass looked over and they were asleep and that s when Denny just got up and he walked over to the sliding glass door and off we went I was raised in a very free atmosphere to me having an affair was not as serious as it was to the rest of them I had had an affair before Danny when John and I had 1st gotten married so it was something that John had already experienced just me and that s when he wrote Go where you want to go. So as somebody who talks to artists about personal stories sometimes I know I know who did it can be. It s a really intimate thing that you re seeing with somebody especially when you have a kind of relationship with them where you feel like you re just talking which is sort of ideal territory for interviews and then people are also going to see it. For you being sort of like the witness to all of these stories in the movie as we see them like what s a moment like that like re sitting across from Michelle you re hearing the legend of this song and it s a really personal moment that I m just telling you about. Well both you have backgrounds in journalism an ending that noted pretty early on that people were maybe discussing things with me knew a little more candidly than they might if they were sitting down with a tape recorder maybe because I m another artist I suppose but maybe these have enough experience that they are comfortable doing that and maybe they discuss some things that no one s asking I want to get out there just after all these years I m not really sure but I do know that everybody gave the stories that most of us had never heard before yeah it colors the song in a wonderful way which is my favorite I guess outcome of hearing the story behind a song and Michelle s as a rock in the movie like that this green she s really beautiful We re going to you guys do a live version that recorded a little bit earlier on stage this is what we call you guys that the echo in the canyon band yes that works Ok let s do that this is the echo in the canyon band Jacob Dylan and Jake history in us are our singing leads on this one and here we go Play live on stage. café Echo in the canyon is the band the name of the the album celebrating the music of Laurel Canyon in the mid sixty s is the name of the documentary film that I m here talking to any Slater and sick Dylan about. Another one of the 1st really standout moments for me in watching the film that maybe think like Oh cheese Yeah that is something I take for granted and this is where it started is David Crosby talking about this collective of artists who managed to get poetry on the radio and that maybe before then people s ears and minds weren t as open to hearing the kind of poetic lyrics that came out of that period so maybe Andy tell me a little bit about what the songwriters of that time were doing to change really the course of lyrics in popular music you know I think folk music the folk scene in New York in particular was fully developed in that regard in terms of. Songs that were poetic. And had meaning both socially and politically behind them and in some ways I don t I m wondering if the electrification of folk music would have really happened in New York because it was so rigid that scene but California represents this this place of light freedom anything is possible and I think the fact that McGoohan was experimenting with a 12 string and I m Simon interviewing say Roger McGuinn founder of The Byrds was a fair meeting with the transferring for those of us who aren t on Leica you know last name basis with. Good Ok so I don t know that the electrification would have happened in New York and Roger McGuinn from the Byrds. Was experimenting with a 12 string after he saw a hard day s night and you know he s very good at taking a song from one medium and transposing it into another medium and that really becomes the foundation for folk rock and when they have a head it brings people to California so the Mamas and The Papas common the Buffalo Springfield and and other bands come in and that s the beginning of it and yes the 1st time a song of poetic dad and grace becomes a hit. While we re talking about Roger McGuinn Let s listen to a life of formants. The echo in the canyon band of when you guys did it you showed me written by Roger and dad and Gene Clark of the Byrds 2nd 164 this one I think I want to tell a story that right is totally right about you showed me. Where you know that he and Gene liked the same girl and they wrote that song about her I don t quit that in the movie you know if it is in the Arctic remember that very well as he said it as he said it s you the song Roger said it was on the movie. That he and Gene Clark had a crush on the same girl so they wrote it for for this girl and you said who can pick a girl across the. Crosby seemed to get all the girls Ok. Why did you within the movie that s funny. Because you know the singular art of a good narrative always been there Ok the Bluebirds that goes the bloopers route. Ok now let s hear the thought and here we go this is you showed me. a motion of. Self harm I guess on account of how difficult that was do you find this really difficult Yeah I would say I have a newfound respect for directors you know he should also maybe include you know we originally started the idea of making a movie he wasn t suggesting himself as a director we ve gone around and pitched the idea of multiple people oh wow who either didn t want to or interested in or were interested but just didn t want to make that specific movie I was like a failed rock critic trying to make you know a film like a rock critic so make sure if it serves you know much for fuel survive if you re on that sorry for people though who who for whatever reason don t have name recognition about who you are you re making it sound like you went from being a failed rock critic to like making this movie that was kind of scary to make in between you ve produced some call La Soul albums including Fiona Apple s debut album title in 1960 the the Wallflowers out like your You re I think I just I just feel like I need to correct you on on sort of. Being humble about your career in the music industry but also probably really humbling experience to then feel like you re trying your hand at a new art form for the 1st time I guess for me I mean I just follow my heart my brain follows next if I believe in something or feel something like you know when I met Jacob. I just don t take no for an answer that s echo in the canyon director and he Slater along with executive producer and star Jacob Dillon speaking with Talia Schlanger I m writing a tourist today we re revisiting their chat about the film echo in the canyon tells the story of the influential bands that came out of Laurel Canyon in the mid sixty s in a moment you ll hear about Jacob s experience closing down a guitar shop with Tom Petty for the film in an interview they filmed before Patti passed away and we ll hear some more live music from the band coming up cafe. a lot about his time in the Byrds and their time at Buffalo Springfield as well there s a moment where David Crosby is talking about sort of being kicked out of the Byrds and he says that it s because he was a jerk. And he uses a different a different word but there s a he goes on to say something about bands which is his theory and I ve heard him say this before about c.s. And why and he says lately you know bands get to a point and then after that they start to devolve and then it s like smoke and mirrors and play your hits and he says that to you and then in the film you sort of like to throw up your arms and I want to know what your thought bubble was at that moment when you will because he s right and there s very few bands that do. Continue to be great and have the energy for a lengthy amount of time it does have them for most most groups it doesn t and he s right he s been in a number of groups. I guess you what you re seeing in the film is me acknowledging that he I think he s right because it s something all groups struggle with if they ve been together for more than 5678 years you know they begin to wonder if maybe sound is something else that most people just cannot admit to themselves that are probably as time that that thing that really made exciting on point is maybe gone but the last people ever want to meet that is the people that are in the groups so you know he says that with wisdom I think and I think he also kind of expresses what can also be true about groups which is you know rock groups are for kids really you know because once you grow up it s a whole different thing in at it s a trick if you can pull it off and some have some really great you know they do that but I think he s right for the most part for Tom Petty that the 1st shots of this movie are you Jacob talking Tom Petty and is this one of like Would this be one of the last interviews that he did before he passed you know we ve heard that and I m you know I m not terribly comfortable pushing that at all that forward because I think it s true unfortunately I think it s true yeah but he gave us a day and I think it was a maybe maybe my most favorite day of filming he tell me a little bit about like you guys have a relationship for a long time I think and you inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame Yeah what was that day like with him Yang what was really nice about it is that we got to close down a guitar shop Los Angeles to go shop that we frequent true town in Santa Monica and I think it was really nice for Tom to come down and just close up the doors and it s a great shot that is new equipment all the equipment a lot of energy quirky stuff and I think he had a really great time before filming just walking around looking at the stuff I don t know how often he s able to do that you know in the past. So I thought it was fun is having him be able to do that. But you know he was as much as anybody I think in the film represents a real super fan of that specific music when it was happening and so yes he was Tom Petty and that s that s magnificent and effort and it s own but he s also just like another teenager who he grew up then and he understood that music really really well and he you know he was playing their regular backer throughout the 70s when nobody else was put on the front of his records you know because they came directly from Roger when and where the Beatles so you know he was very important to have a story with something that you d want. People to know about who he is as a person. I wouldn t. I wouldn t project anything in that department you know I don t know what he would like to be numbered as yeah that s I think you know I would just say that what they want things whereas you know I did get the upper 1st group a number of times he was the girl with generous to me and encouraging and you might think well that s pretty normal from that generation but actually not some of those people are not friendly they re not nice to be around they re competitive in their And you hear No really why because most of them are Hall of Famers and should just be totally encouraging going to generations my friends with somebody that was always somebody who matter what his crimes were it was just rock and roll and it was for everybody and he didn t see his time with me I didn t see a difference between age and generations it was just music if that s what I was getting at you re really not the 1st person at all that I ve heard that from about him and his like devotion is just being a mentor in it and a cool human being to other human beings. I think we should go out on a on a Tom Petty tune I ll let you guys pick which one it is affects Ok and I m gonna say Jacob Dylan and any Slater guys thank you so much for talking to me today it s been a real delight really appreciate it likewise called Thank You Thank you and please pick a Tom Petty song which when should it be. That s a good idea. I want to go on record saying I love every song I ever wrote but at the thoughts of the waiting from our promises which is right when I started to be About the film.

Music introducing It s called Hotel on Main Street it s Oregon why good to have you here that s one of those what I think song ends with you coming back to me who took it the whole string Why did it come from it s a song about losing the go basically when it. It s all pre-K. It is channeled into this August. Is the 2nd track loaded in just a few weeks and it sounds very slick it feels like you ve been making music for a very long time and yet the name is new to me so what s the story with the original Oregon My band is mean Reagan was starting to go down way yeah we re looking for people since we left school really but we didn t really find anybody until one day I went to a gig at Rock City to see the vaccines are yeah the blame at this guy John Smeaton and the name are good ways a straight now from near where we practice right on the corner from where we went to school and everything such kind of ties and I want you to how do you fit into the equation that well I was with well I said I saw you the 3 of you vaccines after the vaccine it was just Nathan and let the vaccine tell Yeah but then we ll brought Nathan to a. That drummer dropped out so I went down had a Janet kind of went yeah we don t think she came down from the heavens yes. We were the fan of the but you know had you never heard why now I know they re going to get to the point that I don t say you know material and you know we haven t read is that Ok but you know like we 1st played most people who ve. Gotten you know what we all we all knew it and we all went into the shed and we played it 1st time around and for starters this is actual shit yeah. Because it s like mixed chat in the studio yeah. Yeah. Yeah well I ll describe Dr. Evil by saying So how long ago did this adventure started because listening to the music that we ve had through it feels like you re an established band it feels like you re very good musicians and it feels like you ve connected we all made our own music path before we met each other I think we ve all done a lot of stuff on our own and we met that vaccines gig about a year ago and then we practiced for a couple of months and we had a 1st gig and I want to say February or March. Went down a tree and ever since then it s just been kind of growing from strength to strength I guess so we ve had 2 tracks from you so far is there more material lurking in the wings there is there is there s there s one more single to come we went into the studio and recorded 3 singles so the plan is to get the next one out there it s called gene and then after that we re going to do a couple more gigs in December January time and then we re going to look at getting another single it feels like it s a really exciting time for you Nick feels like you ve said you ve hit the ground running the quality of the recordings that we re hearing here are excellent as well when the songs were schools and also recording yeah I don t really help those that yeah I m a good 5 point you mention things like food fighters and Stone Roses not a thought seemed to be the niche maybe you would you say I think so we spent the 1st 3 days of the record and we recorded everything we listened everything back we went away with the recordings and we not big enough yet we went back in the 4th day and we went just just to make everything. Make it you doesn t mean you only think I think it was like there was like Dave Grohl food fight is just listen to that Ok with a bit of Bit be feeling a bit more how we thought we sounded live and what s it like to see your life what s that experience like we ve always got people dancing about and Raven and. They re all fun gigs would bring like a little sad make me always right get them to dance at the front thing we were doing what I was always got you know we ve got a good man good luck following you from the front door b. When we 1st played you actually from different areas of thought is it me how far apart do you live this neck of it was more close it s not in. 20 minutes away from their side takes me it s a bit of a drawdown don t it but not a 1000000 miles away though no not I d say that definitely worth it yeah yeah definitely yeah.

Over the music hearing been sent in by the b.b.c. Music introducing upload to b.b.c. Dockery is that bt is the place to go look for the upload your music links and through it we are absolute pleasure to play for you but the extension question that we think is n u x u which letter comes next it is really difficult to answer for you in half an hour s time so and you x. You there what do you see anybody with the it s all know can tell you what it s not Rosenhaus and green suggesting might be in an for the obvious reason of being penned Romanek Oh I see yes Ok so and yeah it s not marking jacking from tree they decided to go for the letter l. For no apparent reason which is wrong as well. Well you must have a guess yes so you know to the right and polling Bingham s been on and he mentioned the previous question and he got the wrong kinds of a different reason it was quite interesting. So what s next and you execute them what you think you re free to do all James is there waiting for your call I wait 106783434. The number to take tonight 81 triple 3 starting your text message with the word beat when you e-mail is beat up b b c dot co dot u.k. Says bubble gum hypnosis community Lester you mean the next from bubblegum is on the way of the spear of tests. Track debuted on the show a couple weeks ago called sphere of time by bubblegum hypnosis Vivek from bubblegum He joins me now on the. I m well thank you and yeah we yet know we ve been playing since the beginning of the year almost the it just feels like you re in a real role of the moment every single track that comes through just a bit stronger than the one before. Was the story behind the band s individual Kosovo project and the most the stuff when it comes to that show stuff is like pretty much the old record in Mumbai me apart from the drum chops it was yes and I was in a drama but then when it comes to a lot of Shylock alone. Always changing that mean here in a pretty much but in every day when we play live it s not necessarily the same as a cd version having different musicians bringing their own stars and stuff and right now you re there s a funk drummer playing metal and you know she s interesting a lot you know develops so that s really interesting as most bands look for stability don t they and to gain experience but you feel like you thriving from mixing it up I ve got to the point now where like you know someone says I can t play anymore other than it s just you know is what is this point you know great musicians around the city now you played the cookie just a couple weeks ago how was that for you yeah it s really fun so we started with a didgeridoo jam for the 1st time which is really just thing going sucks with us now for the whole set which is really really cool yeah it s good fun like the crowds are getting slowly bigger and the sets going yeah I m happy in terms of sphere of time the track we just heard that if we come to see you live it s a good litmus test of what sort of material we re going to hear Actually I d say the majority of the Sat is quite heavy and then we have the chill songs as like you breathe. So yeah if you see those sorts quite heavy like very like Sabbath the in a lot of the stuff I mean it s interesting because when you 1st connected with us a few months ago I remember saying your influences with things like King get in this it was a dimension of Black Sabbath and then I was a bit puzzled by the Black Sabbath reference because the tracks you played with nothing like Black Sabbath it sounds like you cover a full spectrum and there s such a backlog of songs are less pretty much like the next few years of releases are pretty much been recorded money to go like is now you or at the University of Leicester So where are you from originally the same ink you in a very plain Milkins in Oxford and so did you have a reputation there before you moved to the history of the big 5 years if he s been playing a long time and I haven t really been paying only so I really play music and I got to uni like a dollar played a bit of guitar when I was younger but I never really did I did it for the gratings United s not really like a passionate thing but yeah clearing out the patience to sort of sit with me and jam with me in a slowly build up my confidence in playing and stuff and a lot of them really for that I want to see like for students in university to connect. With the rest of the last music scene so basically we put on this noise at the high end last year member and then we got in touch with some people from the I don t know if you know it s established in border people like that yeah not so early start a lot networking mean some people around just going to gigs really just talking to people after the Such mean people around I mean the uni scene is good I say that the month seems like more thriving so didn t really offer music anything like our Uni of but you ve been embraced since then not literally. Like at least. If so is bubblegum hypnosis a hobby or something that you d like to see turn into kind of full time venture. To make money off a 100 percent to make a living off a situation without a doubt So what are going to be your steps in doing that I think if I know to gigs yet playing it just like I said we ve got lots of stuff recorded so like you know I can just keep releasing and release and gigging as much as we can me to get out of last and actually that s the one thing I think right now could have played a lot in Leicester it s a big step isn t it actually to to get out of which have a city you started it s a huge next from the now you were none of us Troy Ok. Yes. London trips of in chaos. Get on the national express a big no insolvency. I know you have played in London how was that played in London with it s just it s just a weird one at the moment specially upcoming bands you get caught in a lot of like pay to play sort of things that you don t really want to do and then when you are playing you know that bring people in why haven t I How much can I do that when I m lost a band is or I get better I m sure so as we head towards 2020 what does that hold for you what s your impression for the next year Davy piece coming out general 24th conference room is the title track of our which we planted in September I think yeah yeah that was a fast track I think it s 6 tracks very mellow all of them a very childish sort of goes always been fascinated like concept projects this one is sort of like revolved around space and you know themes are so distant planets etc It starts off quite high energy and slows down throughout the. Oddly. For people to listen to it still to finish if they hit Well I m sure that will happen this if you know what you re doing and I think when you see a bound to mention time in Paul the Black Sabbath in their influences you know.

I like that I like that task force. Hickey you know. We can know where you think you know. And all the president spent a few hours at Bagram Air Base he served turkey to troops ate some mashed potatoes and met with Afghan president and he actually made some news which is why we ve called n.p.r. National political correspondent Mara Liasson away from her Thanksgiving thanks Mark good to have you here hi ari Happy Thanksgiving same to you so President Trump announced today that talks with the Taliban are back on here s what he said about it the Taliban wants to make a deal we ll see if they want to make a deal it s going to be a real deal but we ll see this comes just a few months after Trump called off what had been apparently close to a peace deal did he explain what changed his mind about the prospects no he didn t he called off that those earlier talks he was about to invite the Taliban to Camp David and that was quite controversial inside his own administration it was one of the many reasons that John Bolton ended up being removed from his post as the national security adviser he was against the Taliban coming to Camp David but the president said that we re going to stay in Afghanistan quote until such time as we have a deal or we have total victory and they want to make a deal very badly Trump usually says that about anyone he s negotiating with like China or in this case the Taliban it s unclear what he means by total victory he s never defined it of course President Bush and President Obama never did either that s one of the big problems with Afghanistan but he says that peace talks are back on and one of the big questions is whether they will involve the Afghan government or not those peace talks that were canceled the ones where the Taliban almost came to Camp David did not include the Afghan government and of course the Afghan government unlike that one bit presidential visits to troops in war zones are kind of a holiday tradition I did want to President Obama when I was a White House Correspondent What was the reception like at Bagram today he got of according to our own Franco Ordonez who was the pool reporter on this trip he got a very positive rousing welcome from the dining hall full of troops about 500 soldiers were there to eat turkey and mashed potatoes with the president he took selfies. With the troops and one thing that was different from his last visit to the troops that this is his 2nd visit to troops in a combat zone the 1st one was last Christmas in Iraq there were a lot of make America great again hats in the crowd but there weren t any this time . And did he have a specific message for the troops I mean did he talk about how much longer they might be there well he certainly talked about wanting to bring troops home and that is something that he promised to do as a candidate and he has been struggling to do he abruptly withdrew a lot of troops from Syria he s talked about bringing troops home from Afghanistan although they re still he says they re going to be about 80 $600.00 troops that will be left there but he said that he will fulfill that came a campaign promise he said to the troops that day is coming and coming soon of course this visit comes in the middle of the Democrats impeachment inquiry He s also a how to mulch was weak with his own military leadership in the debate over the Navy SEALs What s the trip like this again the president I think any time the president can be seen as commander in chief especially with enlisted soldiers it s good for him it s one of his most positive roles and his most respective roles and I think that it should be a positive for the president and as you said this comes not just during the impeachment hearing but also after he s clashed with the top military leaders over the abrupt pullout from Syria and over the firing and the handling of the firing of a Navy Seal Trump intervened in a military justice procedure and not all of the military brass was happy about that it s n.p.r.

Marshallese new album is devoted to music written for the singer named far anally the rock star of his day N.P.R. s Tom Huizenga has this review found a Nelly reportedly could sing $250.00 notes on a single breath to Chile a Bartoli can t quite match that but on her new album titled finale she undeniably gives it her best shot but it was never going to remember.
