Beck's familial roots go back to miners in rural Kentucky.  He connects the dots between folk musicians such as Woody Guthrie in the 1940's and today's Hip Hop artists like Noname, Jamila Woods, and Nas as being the voice that truly reflects what is happening on the streets of Black America.  Reflection needs a call to action or it is more of the same old, same old consumerism that currently defines our world.  

Beck sounds like a socialist but what he really is, is a humanitarian.  Someone who believes that practices such as redlining and the denial of a universal healthcare system is not in the best interest of society as a whole.  That the greater good should be the goal.  Which is fascinating that someone of the "ME ME ME" generation has so much to say about the "WE WE WE".  

Five Artists, Five songs, Five Thoughts from this podcast:

Fatimah Now (Unofficial Mix Tape), Vry Blk, Cops shot the kid, 

Funeral Dress, I Ain't Got No Home In This World Anymore

The first stop; the first teen idols. Pat Boone and Frank Sinatra, the first contributors to rock n' roll.  Stealing from negro spirituals, minstrel shows, and blues artists such as Lead Belly, Boone and Sinatra sang songs about idealized love within a 32 bar song structure which included tonic and subdominant chord changes.  Both Sinatra and Boone perform along with lavish orchestral arrangement and symphonic sweetening to produce "popular" music.  This "whitening" of black music for the general populace along with jazz standards by Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, and Duke Ellington created a canon of songs that would later become known as the Great American Song Book.  

The next stop on our way to Detroit is Graceland. While growing up, Elvis frequented Memphis juke joints where he was exposed to gospel and blues. The influence of songs like the spiritual, "Ain't that good news" and "Come Home Early" by Big Bill Broonzy were key to the musical and cultural identity of "The King of Rock and Roll." Dr. May takes us from these early beginnings of Elvis as a blues singer with songs like, "That's All Right Mama" to his punk infused delivery on "Heartbreak Hotel" and finally rounding out the trip with "In the Ghetto".  A Gospel "disco-fied" ballad with socially aware lyrics.  

In the third leg of the trip Dr. May parks us in the Motor City at the front door of Hitsville, USA.  Berry Gordy, influenced by the Black Entrepreneurship of the late 1950's, created Motown Records as a way to mine Detroit's talented young black people from churches and street corners in an attempt to create his own "wall of sound" and Brill Building of songwriters.  Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Wilson Pickett along with comedian Dick Gregory recorded for Motown Records.  Growing as artists, much like The Supremes with "Love Child", they took on social and racial issues of the time. During Detroit's era of white flight and segregation in the 1960's, Berry Gordy fought for racial equality and unification, sending Motown artists on the Motor Town Revue Tour.  It was Berry Gordy who convinced Martin Luther King, Jr. to record his "I have a dream" speech at Hitsville, USA before his march on Washington for jobs and freedom in 1963. 

At the end of out trip Dr. May leaves us with the thought that "music is a barometer of culture" and if you want to know what is happening at a particular moment you only need to listen to the music of that era. As we move into the 70s and 80s Dr. May paints a bleak picture of a floundering punk scene in Detroit. A scene rich in ideas but lacking visual identity, record label scouts, and radio stations that wouldn't event consider playing punk, made it difficult for local bands to gain fans or build career reputations.  Despite these obstacles bands like, Cinecyde who released Detroit's first official punk song "Gutless Radio" on their own Tremor Records in 1977 and Algebra Mothers with "Strawberry Cheesecake", were able to find small cult followings.

These days the city is back on the musical map with a growing electronic  scene, known as Detroit Techno, while it's Motown and Punk roots are being documented by such sites as the detroitpunkarchive.com and the motownmuseum.org.  

List of songs that are in this episode and songs that should be:

coldcock, hidden persuasion, ain't that a shame, ain't that good news, twist and shout, twist and shout, black girl (where did you sleep last night), tamerlano, heartbreak hotel, in the ghetto, love child, they that wait, lord help me to hold out, fire and water, fingertips, gutless radio, the revolution will not be televised, strawberry cheesecake, star spangled banner

Movements and scenes emerge like the SDS (Students for a Democratic Society), The Black Panthers and The Weather Underground.  Both Ken Hughes' book, Chasing Shadows and Ronald Brownsteins', The Second Civil War, are the blueprints for these two episodes, while Good Morning Vietnam, Apocalypse Now and the documentary The Weather Underground directed by Sam Green and Bill Siegel help provide humor and context.  All of this set on a backdrop of folk, punk and rock music.  

What was the media's impact on students and civilians alike by televising the Vietnam War?  Who was the Dragon Lady and why were the Paris peace talks sabotaged?  What were the political identities of newspapers and how did people rely on such magazines as Time and Life?  As these questions find answers, more questions undoubtedly unfold.  

Whether you are a Republican, Democratic, Socialist, Communist, Liberal or maybe just a punk, this is the historical hootenanny to listen to.  Let the likes of Nina Simone, The Temptations, Dead Kennedys, and Barbara Dane chime into the conversation with such song's as "I wish I knew how it would feel to be free", "Holiday in Cambodia", and "Ballad of the Unknown Soldier".  These songs and their lyrics hold as much weight about this era as any book or conversation.  Much like the Folk Music Revival so eloquently documented in the book "Folk City: New York and the American Folk Music Revival" by Stephen Petrus and Ronald D. Cohen, John Flanagin brings thoughtful nuanced sensibilities to a time when everyone was being sent, in the words of Joe Strummer, "straight to hell."  

List of songs that are in this episode and songs that should be:

russian roulette, exhuming mccarthy, straight to hell, charlie don't surf, holiday in cambodia, ballad of the unknown soldier, I don't want your millions mister, ball of confusion, ride of the valkyries, run through the jungle, I wish I knew how it would feel to be free, funkier than a mosquito's tweeter, draft dodger rag, subterranean homesick blues, hurricane, shot of love, ohio, for what it's worth, ripple, dire wolf, hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic, going in circles, why do I keep fuckin' up, after the gold rush (full album), comes a time (full album), hot buttered soul (full album), black moses (full album), wake of the flood (full album), terrapin station (full album).

Ryan Black/Blizzle raises questions about musical fads like EMO with such bands as Dashboard Confessional and The Spill Canvas while Sully provides historical and cultural context for those fads.  Sully and Black, both fans of Jazz, talk about it's influence on other musical art forms.  From jazz great Ornette Coleman's song, Focus on Sanity from his album, The Shape of Jazz to Come to the Swedish hardcore punk band REFUSED's song Liberation Frequency from their album, The Shape of Punk to Come nothing is left off the table.  Black's thoughtful questioning reveals his own curiosity and also shows the respect him and Sully have for music as well as one another.  Much like their songwriting process for Theft To The Gallows and Black's Backbone the give and take between them is obvious and authentic.
