Sonic Café that’s Angry, new music from the Rolling Stones, from 2023’s Hackney Diamonds release. The Stones have now been releasing albums for 60 years straight. That fact alone proves they are the greatest band of the rock band era. So hey welcome to the café, I’m Scott Clark and we’ve got some longevity too, this is 409th episode, which pencils out to almost 8 years of the Sonic Cafe, all thanks to your support and great radio stations that support us too. So yeah. This time the Sonic Café features an eclectic music mix from 53 years. We’ll spin Billy Gibbons from his 2021 Hardware album. Metric featuring the great Lou Reed on vocals, a classic from Santana, The American Authors, 1970 music from Free, and many more, including another Sonic Café twin spin. Listen for Stand By Me, the 1960 Ben E. King original, then John Lennon 1989 cover. We’ll let that rip after the bottom of the hour. Comedian Brian Regan steps up the mic with his beef about quantity sizes on food labels, which you just might agree with. So that plus some other neat stuff thrown in for fun. Here’s Crazy Elephant, the song is Gimme, Gimme, Good Lovin’ and we’re the Sonic Café.

Rabbi Phil Posner

In this edition of Radio Curious, we cross the line, if there is one, between politics and religion and visit with Rabbi Phil Posner to consider, among other things, ethics and moral courage. Rabbi Posner is the author of a fictional encounter, “Food For Thought, Character and Soul,” where he gathers well known historical figures including, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Desmond Tutu, Jimmy Carter and Bill and Hillary Clinton to discuss empathy, justice and moral courage. Our conversation, recorded on October 20, 2008, began when I asked Rabbi Posner about his intention in creating this unusual book. The books that Rabbi Posner recommends are, “Van Loon’s Lives,” by Hendrik Willem Van Loon, “Melungeons: The Last Lost Tribe In America,” by Elizabeth C. Hirschman and “An Interrupted Life: The Diaries of Etty Hillesum 1941-43,” by Etty Hillseum.

Abrahm Lustgarten on “The Ghosts of John Tanton”

Many of us on the Left see the fight for environmental justice as going hand-in-hand with other progressive battles, including racial justice and human rights. But, evidently, not all environmentalist efforts are rooted in the same values. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak to Abrahm Lustgarten, a reporter for ProPublica, about his recent piece chronicling an ugly, hidden side to the history of the American environmentalist movement. We learn about John Tanton, a virulent racist and eugenicist who befriended many environmental leaders, find out how he’s connected to the perpetrator of the El Paso Wal-Mart mass shooting, Patrick Crusius, and talk about how white supremacy and xenophobia have come to dominate right-wing rhetoric in this country.

Bill Ayers on Abolition and Collective Liberation

Bill Ayers spoke at Burning Books in Buffalo, NY on October 27, 2024 to promote his new book, “When Freedom is the Question, Abolition is the Answer: Reflections on Collective Liberation". Burning Books is a radical bookstore in Buffalo, NY, specializing in activism, social justice, and liberation struggles. For more information visit burningbooks.com --- From Wikipedia, more or less: In 1969, Bill Ayers co-founded the Weather Underground, a revolutionary group that sought to overthrow American imperialism. During the 1970s, the Weather Underground conducted a campaign of bombing public buildings in opposition to U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. The FBI described the Weather Underground as a domestic terrorist group. Ayers was hunted as a fugitive for several years, until charges were dropped due to illegal actions by the FBI agents pursuing him and others. Ayers went on to become a professor in the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, holding the titles of Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar. He is married to lawyer and law professor Bernardine Dohrn, who was also a co-founder of the Weather Underground.

WINGS #30-24, US Violence Against Women Act

On September 12, 2024, the Biden-Harris administration celebrated 30 years since the passage of the US Violence Against Women Act, with an announcement of new funds and new areas of coverage. Although passed by Congress in 1994, the VAWA bill was first introduced in 1990. From the WINGS archive 1991, here is then-81-year-old Washington reporter Sarah McClendon, interviewing then-49-year-old Senator Joe Biden, about the bill he drafted and introduced in the Senate, and would finally successfully shepherd through. He explains his first realization that the problem existed, and many of the angles to address it written into that bill. A similar version was introduced in the House by Barbara Boxer of California. The VAWA finally passed in both houses in 1994 and has been renewed - although with stops and starts and amendments - ever since. McClendon opined that Biden's work on this bill would make up for his performance as chair of the Judiciary Committee, when Anita Hill's testimony was dismissed and Clarence Thomas was confirmed to the US Supreme Court.
