Episode 79 - Brad Schreiber, Music is Power
Brad Schreiber's introduction to his book, Music is Power: Popular Songs, Social Justice and the Will to Change, states:
"Music is sound waves. It is energy made entertaining, mathematics in
service to the human ear. It is power—but not just sonic power or power
in consumer currency or the power to evoke an emotional response or
memory. Music, when it is crafted to address the ills of the world, becomes a special kind of force."
Brad joined me from his home in California and we rapped about music (Joe Hill, Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Jerry Garcia, Ozzy Osbourne and Rush (of course)), as well as history, politics, social change, Covid-19, symbolism, big money, etc.
I start the show discussing my break from social media, a two month roadtrip across the country and the origin of the term "hippie."
