Protest

In this week’s program Rob is joined by guest presenter, Rachel. The theme is different kinds of protest songs. Two icons of the folk protest era are Bob Dylan (Masters Of War) and Joan Baez (What Have They Done To The Rain?). Barry Maguire sings his 1960s nihilistic hit Eve Of Destruction while Don Fardon sings about the lament of the American Indians with the poignant Indian Reservation. A pro feminist song way before its time is LGBTIQA+ singer Lesley Gore with You Don’t Own Me. Aussie protest songs are well represented by Redgum’s heart wrenching I Was Only Nineteen, Goanna’s classic protest about indigenous land rights Solid Rock and Midnight Oil’s iconic Beds Are Burning.

Many songs are associated with Penn growing up and family such as Father And Son, Cats In The Cradle and from his infancy Cradle Of Love.

Double Sided Hits

Back in the days of vinyl singles songs were released with a designated A side and a B side. Often the B side became just as popular as the A side. Thus a double sided hit was created. Elvis Presley had 39 double sided hits while The Beatles had 24. In this program we feature six performers who had double sided hits: Roy Orbison (Candy Man/Crying), The Beatles (She’s A Woman/I feel Fine), Brenda Lee (I’m Sorry/That’s All You Gotta Do), Dionne Warwick (I Say A Little prayer/ Valley Of The Dolls), Billy Thorpe (Love Letters/Dancing In The Streets) and Ricky Nelson (Hello Mary Lou/Travellin’ Man).
