"Gommorah is a nursery rhyme
You won't find in the book
It's written on your city's face
Just stop and take a look" ..... Sixto Rodriguez

Santa mambos and boogies to the soul sleigh & solstice bells...could that be hope shining brightly in that Christmas star?

We swing through lot of blues and folk today, celebrating quite a few artists' birthdays, some gone but not forgotten. The usual shenanigans and digressions ensue. Listen as Readie parses the GREATEST OPENING LYRIC in all of pop or folk's storied history:

"ZOOEY RIDDEN ON A ZOY-SAY"

Lakota, Cree, Cherokee, Hopi, Mohawk, Tuscarora, Yaqui, and more -- the indigenous peoples of north America and their music, culture, legends. And we also hear truth in the words of BS-M: "Now that your big eyes have finally opened; Now that you're wondering how must they feel; Meaning them that you've chased across America's movie screens..." The beauty, the pride, and the warrior spirit in music and story.

Indigenous Heritage Month! Celebration continues with Native artists and familiar voices who, you may be surprised to know, share native ancestry and native connections that shaped their work. GET READY FOR THE SEQUEL in American consciousness -- those who were already on this soil. We honor the Earth Mother and vanquish the Keshagesh!

Welcome peraskevidekatriaphobes! It'll be less scary as the night goes on. BECAUSE the ice has melted and it's morning in America! All my homies in Scranton, where you at? Philly, Atlanta, Milwaukee and Motown- calling out around the world...are you ready for a brand new BEAT? Buh-bye, constant low-level non-specific anxiety.

I have been encased in an ice capsule since Tuesday, 03 November! Trapped in the "parallel universe" I invoke each week! Is it Civil War II? Did the USA choose a new leader?? WILL I EVER GET OUTTA THIS ICE TOMB?

A Mischief Night at Recherché - From Christopher Walken to Ozzie, Philip Glass to Burl Ives, and a little Mr. Spock (TOS Star Trek) thrown in for good measure, we make this night es-PECIALLY mischievous. Witches and bogey men? There are scarier things than Hallowe'en - which is why we continue to encourage y'all to VOTE. Buckle up Hallo-wienies - you're in for a grillin' by DJ Readie...

After finishing up our Spector-less outtakes of John Lennon's oeuvre from last week's 80th birthday episode, we'll deep dive into the culture, trads, and music of the Taino / Arawak people of the Caribbean, who were already here, and needed no "discovering" when in 1492, Columbus stumbled upon the West Indies looking for China. The chaos, brutality, enslavement, and genocide the Europeans brought upon these gentle and welcoming people was deleted from the "history" of the Americas, but we bring the spirit of the Taino to life!

We finish up Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations and dabble in some lost soul. To cap it all off, a deep dive into Lennon's music; he tells us his favorite compositions as a Beatle, and critiques an earlier production. I'll play some stripped-down Lennon Beatles tracks and solo and acoustic work- including naked tracks before Phil Spector got his grubby paws on them -- (these are newer re-mixes, not the ones from "Let it Be...Naked"). What would John Ono Lennon be doing today, at age 80, if he hadn't been assassinated in 1980? Let's speculate together! And we all shine on......
