'Let Freedom Ring' - Charlie Daniels


From the album 'Renegade'

Keep it Country!

Just like Glen's sparring partner used to bake.

Bring me the......nah dont bother.

well, it'll get asked for anyway, so it might as well be me - one of my favs

Revolution - The Beatles

However, it should add that it should be disqualified as a study of the lyrics will show it argues against political revolution. Better to 'free your mind instead' - this thinking harks back to the English political reformer Samuel Smiles who eventually concluded the real revolutions happen in people's minds.


regardrez youse

henri

Oh and I prefer the faster b side of 'Hey Jude' version rather than the slower White Album version.

regardez youse

henri

Henri - I read that lots of people returned the Hey Jude single thinking the b side was mis-pressed!

I am reasonably puzzled at how I missed

Steve Earle - The Revolution Starts Now

off my mini list

Third time of asking....

Linton Kwesi Johnson's All Wi Doin Is Defendin' perfect for such a theme!



















Keepin' it fresh!

if you've something to say - remember. either keep it comedy or keep it country - nobody's interested in anything else.

Chas and Dave Rabbit

Freedom Come All Ye - Dick Gaughan

Happy to second Norrie and "The revolution starts now". Also:
We shall overcome - Springsteen
People get ready - Curtis Mayfield
This land is your land - Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings
Something in the air - Thunderclap Newman
The battle of New Orleans - Johnny Cash
Won't get fooled again - the Who

And two for the intro-mix:
La marseillaise - Edith Piaf
Skye boat song - Barbara Dickson

Linlithgow

Radio Scotland - the place where you're free to rant and rave. So long as you keep it low key. No point upsetting anyone, likes. Just be nice and polite. Miffed muchly that (ok, hands up - I didn't hear it live - maybe it sounded better than it looks) inane pish was the order of the day tonight.
just a wee heads up - don't go inviting interesting stuff if you have no interest/hope of playing it. There is a very fine line between """humouring""" and encouraging sad losers. Sad losers are possibly your core listeners, but. Don't forget to listen to them.
I'm just a bit miffed because I don't think my weans are going to get me the obligatory bunch of flowers/ box of chocolates on Sunday. I should get a hobby.

Volunteers - Jefferson Airplane - Rousing (if a little tongue in cheek)
Get Together - The Youngbloods - Anthemic
My White Bicycle - Tomorrow - Keith West on Dutch anarchists
For What It's Worth - Buffalo Springfield - A thousand people in the street

Joe ~ you only just beat me to it. And I dont want to get into a debate but the close out track i would like to hear is

The Boss / Seger/ Baez / Anyone - Bring em Home

Good grief, who's broken the SPELL and let the M D out of the 20/20 bottle?

Wonder if they have broken in to poor wee Omar's apartment yet and hauled him out of bed in the early hours....

Monday

Rockin Robin - Jackson Five

BRING ME THE RED SQUARE OF FREDEK FREDEKOV GARCIASKI!

#35

Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. Last night they showed 1964-75, Adam, with the likes of Rolling Stones, Tom Jones, Status Quo, Procol Harum, Stevie Wonder, Queen, The Kinks, Stealers Wheel, Julie Driscoll, Peter Sarstedt and the Seekers. See it here and reflect on the poverty of today's scene.

WOW! John Peel played mandolin on 'Maggie May'!


"Howzabout that then, guys 'n' gals?"

#36

Okay, I'll fall for it;

Adam,

What does 'Rockin' Robin' by the Jackson 5 (Michael was black?!? Who knew?!?) have to do with Monday's theme?

#39
And Jimmy has outlived him by 20 years.

Moral - more marathons minus mandolins.

#40

Michael is doing revolutions in his grave following your insults.

"It don't matter if you're black or white."


Michael Jackson

>8-D

"Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...uck
Chuck a-chuck-chuck"

Billy Stewart

Chip Taylor-New Song Of Freedom -says it all.

Glen, did you remember today to get a card for the mothers of invention?

They were only it for the money

Phil Manzanera 'Revolution'

J.O'B.

#35 It was bad enough the first time Adam, and although, like everyone else, I see the past through rose tinted specs, there are some things that really aren't worth revisiting and the hairy cornflake is one of them... some of the acts will be worth seeing.


Politician - Cream
Maggie's Farm - The Specials
Waiting for The Great Leap Forwards - Billy Bragg

regardez youse

henri

Victor Jara - Arlo Guthrie

DC

Theme suggestion:

Who would you erect a statue to, where and why...is Robbie Williams your Rodin, Susan Boyle the Venus of Willendorf...

#62 Hee hee glad I'm not a Fulham fan. Wonder how long it will last.

Theme Idea

A nice easy theme for a Friday night. Songs with Rock and Roll in the title. There's hunners across various musical genres

#64 there is a full weeks themes!

Rock n Roll
Blues
Soul
Country

You on a four day week?

in acknowledgement of the hitherto woeful lack of blues by GIO they have agreed to run blues night on Tuesday and Wednesday

#62 - magnificent theme idea. I've been saying for years that it is nothing short of disgraceful that there isn't a statue of Jack Bruce in George Sq.

In football terms, Fulham have set a new standard of ridiculousness which we'll all have to live up to.

Frank Sinatra once played at Ibrox: I think they should erect a statue to commemorate the event. And Alexei Kosygin too, former leader of the Supreme Soviet, once attended a league game at Ibrox in 1966. A fitting candidate for a statue,too.

By the way, anyone notice that the statue doesn't really look like Michael Jackson... even in death, his story gets weirder and weirder..

regardez youse

henri

#67

Blues on this show would be a revolution

#68

Any statue there would have to be equestrian

BLUES on a T-time radio show that caters for All age groups (and i quite like the requests from 3 year olds) and a programme which serves the needs of people driving home from work,working in the kitchen or help them move along, would be an UNMITIGATED DISASTER.....it would be a total literral 'SWITCH-OFF' and that i wouldn't have thought was the purpose of a radio programme like GIO.

cheers frae the dale.

#70 Just off to work and already looking forward to reading the blog when I get back.

#70

You're right - what people really want is the Red Army Choir.

#71/#56

these songs might not make you laugh but many might make you cry

just thing thing to make the tea go with a swing and have the 3 year-olds jigging round the table waving their red flags.

Hey, what was that Mike said about a week of colours?

I would not be so provocative/reckless as to suggest a blues night. I was merely commenting that you could follow up paolo great suggestion of songs with rock n roll in the title with songs that have blue, country or amybe a country, etc in the title

#70 - A total literral wind-up. Is Norrie dale_kelvin? We should be telt!

;o)


#72 - Order your copy of "The Red Army Choir's Greatest Hits" now!

Singalong to those old favourites "Pack Up Your Roubles In Your Old Kitbag" and who can forget the famous marching song "It's A Long Way To Vladivostok"

Order now! (US dollars welcome)

;o)

Taking a bad mood out on a blog isn't clever. Besides, I was wrong - it wasn't such a bad show after all. And I did get some flowers and candles for MD.
Taking myself off for a stern talking to!

Power to all our Friends - Cliff Richard

Was a shoo-in (note spelling Capt) for Eurovision in 1973 and would have won if it hadnt been for a commie plot which was trying to unsettle the Common Market at the time.

#83 Oh!, earwax theft!

#85

Th Red Army Choir's version of Ural I Need To Get By was a poor seventh as I recall.

Monday

Few heat thorax

#85
Aye he had the monopoly that year, sang all 6 songs from which the great british public chose 'Power' as the countries representative with 125,000 postal votes. there were no phone in votes in those days. He lost to Luxembourgs gorgeous Ann Marie David.

Held in Luxemburg, people were still on tenterhooks following the events at the 1972 Munich Olympics, so security was tight. So much so that the floor manager recommended that the audience stay in their seats while applauding the performances, otherwise they risked being shot by security forces. (A wikinick!)

Mumble a howdy

The Duckworth Lewis Method - 'The Age of Revolution'

The Divine Comedy - 'The Plough'

I fled from the capitalís bourgeois malaise
And trekked through the wilderness for fourteen days
'Til I found the guerillas camped high in the hills
I asked Comrade Diaz whom I should kill.

It seems the peacefuls stopped the war
Left generals squashed and stifled
But I'll slip out again tonight
Cause they haven't taken back my rifle
