Everything Was Right: The Beatles’ Revolver from Paul Ingles

Piece Description

NOW AVAILABLE TO ALL OF PUBLIC RADIO. “AWESOME! BEST PIECE OF RADIO I HAVE HEARD in ages. A must listen for any Beatles fan.” PRX REVIEW by Jonathan Fahey When rock music critics and fans are asked to rank the top rock albums of all time, The Beatles’ 1966 release Revolver either heads the list or falls into the top tier. To mark the 40th anniversary year of the album’s release, award-winning producer and host Paul Ingles presents Everything Was Right: The Beatles’ “Revolver” Ingles explores the landmark album’s story and influence in depth, talking with historians, musicians, music critics, and fans and spotlighting each Revolver track (along with the 1966 single “Paperback Writer and Rain”) The Beatles experimented with new sounds and subject matter on Revolver, pioneering psychedelic rock on some tracks and exhibiting extraordinary song-craft on others. Listeners learn about the sources for the tunes, the studio experiments The Beatles used to get their ground-breaking sounds, and the lasting impact of the collection on the pop/rock music scene. Among the guest commentators is Mark Lewisohn, author of The Beatles Recording Sessions. The only journalist to have listened to every second of the Beatles’ studio recordings, Lewisohn is a major authority on the band’s history. Everything Was Right also features music writers Jim Derogatis, Steve Turner, Jeff Sobul, and Stuart Maddow. Musicians Shawn Colvin, Mark Erelli, John Leventhal, Deborah Holland, Richard Goldman, David Gans, Kristy Kruger, and Jon Spurney join other Beatle fans to talk about their favorite tracks on what is arguably the greatest album by the greatest band of all time. “…it does do a solid job of dissecting the psychology, backstory and musicianship of each song note for delicious note. This is the kind of program that makes musical pedants like myself pant with delight…this documentary does offer solid journalism, excellent production values and a style that leaves most of the talking to the interviewees. Highly recommended.” PRX REVIEW by Jonathan Groubert Program is not available for sale on CD but it is available to hear again online at http://www.coolstreams.com. “…relentless, meticulous work on the part of the producer and host, with a rich overflow of excellent interviews. Finally, once each song has been perfectly framed, they actually let you hear it in its entirety, or nearly. And it’s like you’re hearing it for the first time.” PRX REVIEW by Marjorie Van Halteren

Agenda Prevails Over Truth – PaulCraigRoberts.org

In the Western world truth no longer has any meaning. In its place stands agenda.

Agenda is all important, because it is the way Washington achieves hegemony over the world and the American people. 9/11 was the “new Pearl Harbor” that the neoconservatives declared to be necessary for their planned wars against Muslim countries. For the neoconservatives to go forward with their agenda, it was necessary for Americans to be connected to the agenda.
