Show Notes: Thanks for joining us this week on the Sounds Like Liberty Podcast. We have a fabulous show for you today beginning right here with our lyrical analysis of The Way it is by Bruce Hornsby http://bit.ly/2Igy6vJ This mellow pop song released in 1986 is thought to be making reference to the Civil Rights era of the 1960’s. Why then is the song ‘the way it is’ not ‘the way it was?’ We talk about it and score it on out scale from Bob Dylan to Eric July.

Here we are again at the music discovery portion of our show. Today we are going west and then across the water.
Nicky’s pick is a bit of alright from pop punk band Bracket. The album is called Too Old To Die Young. Nicky’s comments: Here they are, doing exactly what we want and expect from Bracket. Super tight block harmonies and pop structures. Can I consider feeling over the hill myself as a reason to love an album called Too Old To Die Young. Seriously this came out the day after my 35th birthday. I love these guys in general 
because for a band that is all about the vocals I don’t care at all what the lyrics are. Just gimme more harmonies!
http://bracket.bandcamp.com/album/too-old-to-die-young

I was jonesing again for something downtempo so I’ve selected the Set Me Free EP from New Zealand band Deep Water Creek. This recording has all the down home sensibility I expect from bands like my Morning Jacket and The Mountain Goats proving that it’s not an exclusively american thing. The instrumentation is solid a and the vocals are soulful. I really enjoyed the rainy day feel of this, perhaps you will too. https://deepwatercreek.bandcamp.com/album/set-me-free-ep

Also don’t forget to also check out friend of the show and previous guest Dan Smotz’ new EP of midlife crisis infused pop-punk oozing notes of New Found Glory and Four Year Strong at shexclamationpoint.com.

The Launch Pad Media is a news and entertainment company for those who promote and a seek a lifestyle of independence.

News & Politics



Show Summary: Under the pressures of the unprecedented-in-our-life-time COVID19 crisis, even libertarians are floundering philosophically. Some are willing to tolerate the wholesale “temporary” suspension of our inalienable rights. Others indeed relish the totalitarian response, because it gives them a (false) sense of safety. On this show Natalie Fawn Danelishen provides a critique of the governmental response to the crisis on the basis of Libertarian theory, masks, and the madness! Natalie  offers details on how property rights and free markets could guide response to our current challenges, better than any government can or will.

 

About the Guest:  Natalie Fawn Danelishen is a graphic artist, libertarian activist, and member of the Mises Institute.

 

About the Host: Johnny “Rocket” Adams was the creator and host of “The Johnny Rocket Launch Pad – Libertarian Rock n’ Roll Experience” and now “BLAST OFF with Johnny Rocket!” He’s also a musician, graphic artist, author, and former Chief Warrant Officer. Johnny spent his early days earning his stripes as a helicopter pilot in the U.S. Army. Back stateside, Johnny immersed himself in the classic works of Murray Rothbard, Henry Hazlitt, and Ludwig von Mises. From there the AnCap known as “Johnny Rocket” was born. Speaking truth to power from your cell phone tower, Johnny digests the philosophy of liberty and brings them to the man on the street on a weekly basis. Johnny Rocket was also the front-man of the rockabilly group “Hot Roddin’ Romeos” and puts pencil to paper with the critically acclaimed comic series “The Liberty Force.” New York Times best-selling author and podcast host Tom Woods calls Johnny Rocket “one of the most entertaining figures in the liberty movement.”

 

About the Co-Host: Raylene Lightheart is an activist in the libertarian movement.  She is a dedicated wife and homeschool mom of five.  She is passionate about self-ownership, free association community, and unfettered liberty.  Raylene is the director of marketing and sales of Launchpad Media Group.

She also is on the board of Libertarian Party of Kitsap County and was awarded the 2018 Porcupine Award for LPWA.   As a child, Raylene dreamed of being in broadcasting.  When Johnny asked her to be the co-host for his new show, Blast Off! With Johnny Rocket she was thrilled to have the opportunity to advance liberty through education, outreach, and entertainment.

 

About Ground Control: ​​Benjamin Wiegold is a fellow Libertarian, from the corrupt state of Illinois. Ben is the new producer, sound engineer, and editor of the Blast Off! With Johnny Rocket. Ben has also done work for the Mises Institute and numerous other publications. Ben is a musician, hardcore anarchist, and just an all-around cool dude!

Show Summary: Spike Cohen is a podcaster who runs Muddied Waters Media and is an ally of performance artist Vermin Supreme, who ran for the Libertarian Party’s Presidential nomination in 2020. As a matter of fact, The Libertarian National Convention has selected Spike Cohen to be their Vice-Presidential nominee. He will be joining the ticket with Jo Jorgensen as she leads the Libertarian Party for the 2020 Election. Spike understands that the Libertarian Party’s Platform is an attempt to compromise between different positions and he completely respects that, but as an individual candidate, his policy is anarchy. Mr. Cohen is not only a comedian, but he holds the ideals of liberty near and dear to his heart. This week we Blast Off! with not only the first millennial candidate but also the very first professional podcaster on the ticket, Mr. Spike Cohen! This was one of our favorite shows!

Blast Off! With Johnny Rocket Episode #73: My Fellow Americans! (w/ Jeremy “Spike” Cohen)



Show Summary: How can you tell if someone running for office will do a good job? How can you ensure that he or she will improve your party, not get your party further into debt? How can you figure out whether this candidate is going to uphold libertarian principles and take a thoughtful, incremental approach to your party’s problems? Today we ask the hard questions, with the up and coming candidate for LNC chair, Jacob Lamont. Is he principled? Is he honest? We think so. This show you cannot miss!

About the Guest: Jacob Lamont has been an activist for over 26 years and became officially active in the libertarian party in 2014. Prior to that, he was resistant to joining any groups or political organizations due to his fierce individualistic nature. Having been homeschooled and raised in a home with libertarian ideals, Jacob’s evolution into a politically active libertarian was an organic extension of his upbringing. Shortly after joining the libertarian party he was elected to the region one director position and still holds that position to this day. In 2015 he ran for office in the 42nd District of Washington State representative. Currently he is a member of several political discussion groups in his county; one secular and the other conservative. He spends a lot of time focusing on outreach efforts to explain libertarian ideology and in organizing libertarian movements. He holds the Libertarian Statement of Principles close to his heart and knows that it is the underpinning of the libertarian party. He believes that it is The Statement of Principles that set us apart from any other political group.
