BSTF 937 - The Long-Awaited EPISODE # 666!

What do you call a show that NEVER WAS but HAD to BE? "Bob"'s SlackTime Funhouse #666, that's what you call it! It should have run back in 2006--but due to my lousy bookkeeping, by the time I balanced the "Bob" Book, we were on BSTF #670! Doc Ellis's inspired solution was to do it at my leisure and then run it anyway--as a RERUN (damn, that's thinking outside the BUTT!). So for six, six, SIX long years BSTF #666 has festered on the back burner, awaiting the right moment to slouch onto the air--and at last, its time has come. This show was trance-edited in a week and a half, and for complete immersion in the Dark Side of the Force, I subsisted on a diet of upside-down chocolate crosses left over from from last Easter. THIS IS A TRUE FACT. And believe me, it HELPED--because this OMENous show is a literal BEAST! This one is jam-packed with what you've come to expect, PLUS-- crazy preachers, insane ideas, staggering cluelessness...there's even a version of "Highway to Hell" done by none other than TINY TIM! I'm sure Sam the Sham had no idea how well "Wooly Bully" would fit Jack Van Impe's ravings about the ten-headed Beast with seven horns. And wait'll you hear the two different crazy hopped-up contemporary takes on "Carmine Burana"--I guarantee that you WILL get "Orff" TWICE tonight! With a rhapsodic chamber-music version of Iron Maiden's "Number of the Beast" by the Vitamin String Quartet, plus THE MOST AMAZING *a capella* recitation of the "NotB" lyrics--from MEMORY, no less--by a freaking THREE-YEAR-OLD KID! The Cowsills are in there with "The Prophecy of Daniel and John the Divine (with Revelation imagery)," a trippy spin on batshit xtian delusions done in their pop- pablum style. And then, the whole extravaganza is capped off by the exquisite live number "Route 666" by the band God Is an Astronaut, a transcendent piece that resonates like Sonic Youth playing a SubGenius sweat lodge on Mars. So, YEAH, we've got your number, you six fiends!

#626 - Where Communism Meets Capitalism

This week we note some similarities between the so called extreme 'left' and 'right' ends of the political spectrum - when the government claims the ability to unilaterally decide how to run things, the stated ideology often goes by the board anyway. Bryan Gould discusses the confidential 'trade agreement' TPP, noting that it is less about free trade and more about subduing national sovereignty to the multinational corporations who devised it. In our second hour, we continue with Richard Wolff's Marxian class analysis, looking specifically at the 1917 Russian revolution.

#625 - Jettisoning Accustomed Categories of Thought

This week is something of a continuation of last week's show, featuring the second part of economics professor Richard Wolff on Marxian class analysis, and we approach the end of David Graeber's Debt, The First 5000 Years. It is an aid to help to rethink what you think you know about economics and politics and possibly jettison some categories of thought which are unhelpful.

#624 - The Vast Machine To Perpetuate Hopelessness

Dr. Cornel West on Poverty In America

Dr. Cornel West on Poverty In America Cornel West, is one of America's most gifted, provocative, and important democratic intellectuals, now focusing much of his energy on his second national tour to heighten awareness of poverty in the U.S., aggressively committing to stopping Stop & Frisk practices and resisting efforts to privatize public education and against school closings. The national discourse has been focused on the deterioration of the "middle class". But this framework ignores the plight of the growing number of working poor and those not included in the workforce, suffering crushing poverty. Organized labor's wages and benefits are under threat, chronic, high unemployment persists, increasing numbers of workers are falling off the unemployment benefit rolls and those new jobs created increasingly paying poverty wages. The recent Census shows that more than 46 Million Americans last year were living below the poverty line ( $22,314 for a family of 4 ), the highest level since 1993. However, the rise of poverty has been ignored by politicians and the mainstream media. But,author,lecturer,public intellectual Cornel West is a welcome exception to that reality. He has co-authored the new book "The Rich and the Rest of Us: A Poverty Manifesto" and has been traveling the country broadsiding his message that now is the time to confront the underlying conditions of systemic poverty in America. He's broadcasting the message that there are nearly 150 million impoverished people in America, who aren't responsible for Great Recession, yet they pay the price for it. The poor did not create the deindustrialization of America,unmitigated corporate profiteering and greed, more than a decade of foreign wars and unregulated tax benefits for the wealthy. Rather, the housing and jobs crisis the plutocrats created have fostered a poverty unseen in generations, crossing race, age and gender lines. Cornel West places the eradication of poverty in the context of the nation's greatest moments of social transformation - the abolition of slavery, woman's suffrage, and the labor and civil rights movements. As did Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. West raises ending poverty as the defining civil rights struggle of America's 21st century. Building on the legacy of Dr. King he asks us to re-examine our assumptions about poverty in America,confront our dormancy and travel the road laid out to undertake to eradicate poverty, to redistribute the wealth and challenge the system that thrives off of inequality.

Commission on Presidential Debates

Perhaps the most notable thing about the recent Presidential debates were the questions that weren’t asked: Issues that touched on third party concerns like global warming, fair trade agreements, the rise of poverty or the legality of extra judicial killings were entirely neglected. Instead we heard narrowly focused questions and the answers all well within the range of the so called Washington Consensus. There’s a reason for that. It’s called the Commission on Presidential Debates or CPD.

Out of the Woods - Show #134 10-26-12

This version of the program is divided into 6 segments so broadcasters who desire to use this content can insert your station info, etc. The segments vary in length, but I try to keep them approximately 30 minutes in most cases. Out of the Woods is an earthy, wires and wood, mostly acoustic program featuring some of the best new and established artists from the worlds of folk, bluegrass, singer-songwriters, alt.country, Americana, classic country, old-time, Celtic, and everything that falls in between. The show is an unpredictable mix flowing like a river between moods, often with an edge or in a melancholy minor key. On occasion, Out of the Woods features interviews and live in-studio performances with national and international touring musicians. Past guests have included artists such as Bela Fleck, Si Kahn, Brown Bird, Dana Robinson, Steve Gillette & Cindy Mangsen, Bill Bourne, Karl Shiflett, Rachel Bissex, Darryl Purpose, Bow Thayer, Cosy Sheridan and many others. Out of the Woods grew out of Jon 'Chip' Colcord's former acoustic programs, The Song Swap and Music For The Mountain, separate folk and bluegrass programs which aired in New Hampshire during the 1990s. As a child, Colcord grew up a ravenous music fan with an ear for both rock and folk, from Arlo Guthrie to Aerosmith. All of these influences converge on Out of the Woods to bring you a mix which is as much on the edge as it is down home. Folk music with a rock 'n' roll soul

#243 -- The Surprising Power of The People

Feeling powerless to change The System? HOWARD ZINN (1992), CHRIS HEDGES (2012), and singer DAVID ROVICS discuss several examples of how large-scale nonviolent popular resistance surprisingly appeared and forced major changes in--or overthrew--bad systems. From the Civil Rights movement to the overthrow of communism in Eastern Europe to the Arab Spring, citizens, nonviolently, often have produced major change. Is "Occupy" the beginning of something big?
