I might add that this week's Air-Conditioned was the very first episode of my show, and now here it is, the 245th week! It is hard to believe I've done 245 shows, and I felt it would be nice to revisit this debut episode of Air-Conditioned.

Along with Meshell Ndegeocello, I've gathered some really lovely music by Stevie Wonder, Nick Drake, Arooj Aftab, Caetano Veloso, BJ the Chicago Kid, and Kenny Werner & Toots Thielemans, as well as Bill Frisell, Bob Dylan, John McLaughlin, Pentangle, and Max Hatt & Edda Glass.

A winter storm blew through the Pacific Northwest last week. As Prince once wrote, “Sometimes It Snows In April." Meshell Ndegeocello, a deeply soulful creative, sets the tone of this week's Air-Conditioned with her gorgeous interpretation of that Prince song.

Follow the money.
Think of all the good $342M would do, instead of funding poison. There is way too much money in politics. This must end.
One more example of why I unsubscribed to the Post... and ended Amazon Prime.
Megyn needs to look in the mirror and repeat those words. Clearly, she isn’t that blind to her role in perpetrating this madness. Describing Fox viewers as “refusing to see” is a little rich, coming from a person went on the air spewing trump’s lies for years.

Warren Zevon, Richard Bennett, Elton John, Reigning Sound, Joe Pisapia, Igginbottom, The Replacements, and Joe, Marc’s Brother are also on board. The vibe feels right, even if the selection is rather free-range. I enjoyed putting this bag of odds and ends together, and the vibe is mighty nice.

For this 243rd weekly musical journey, I call Air-Conditioned, we start in Memphis, TN, with Sid Selvidge, Fred Ford, and Reigning Sound, and end there with Big Star, Tommy Hoehn, and Van Duren. Along the way, we hear Françoise Hardy, Colin Blunstone, NRBQ, and Bud Powell & Don Byas.

I hope there will come a time when AOC runs for the Oval Office. I will gladly support her. That said, the Dem bench is deep with talented, smart advocates for the people.
Tarlove is a treasure. She is the voice of intelligence and reason in the midst of a smug group of overpaid, unserious talking heads.
Thanks SCOTUS, Mitch McConnell, Aileen Cannon and the entire Republican Party for giving this Russian asset a second chance to dismantle this country’s standing in the world. You are all complicit in the crimes and his administration are committing.
Thank you for continuing to post this. It happened, and it was engineered by trump, just like the "assasination" attempt.

This edition of Air-Conditioned shines some love light on Arthur Alexander, an artist who wrote and created music that made fans out of The Beatles (who recorded his song “Anna”), The Rolling Stones, and Elvis Presley.

What a bratty spoiled baby!
This is what happens when you have an electorate that has succumbed to “what’s the point” powerlessness. These midterm elections have a potential to be transformative. Please show up and vote. There are people all over the world who would love to have this right.

Here are two astute people I always enjoy, Heather Cox Richardson and Jon Stewart, wrapping their heads around our current state of affairs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwX9...
We also have local faves Larry Raspberry & The Highsteppers. You may ask, “Where can I hear this early 70’s rawk heaviosity?” Click the link, and it’ll take you to the Air-Conditioned webpage where this, and a handful of recent episodes can be streamed anytime.

Along the way, we’ll hear Steely Dan live at Ellis Auditorium in downtown Memphis and Billy Joel live in the studio in 1972 and … of course … Trapeze, whose album cover for You Are The Music ... We're Just The Band captured an entralled audience at the Overton Park Shell.

This 241st edition of Air-Conditioned is going to dive headfirst into some of the acts that graced our local Memphis stages and airwaves during the early 1970s. On deck we have David Bowie, Mott The Hoople, Wishbone Ash, The Groundhogs, Cactus, Procol Harum, ZZ Top, Black Sabbath, and ...

He presented a very big vision and the population, who is sick of the same old bullshit, or giving him a chance. He deserves more than a chance. What he is trying to do in this collapsing, oligarchic capitalistic nightmare is potentially a way out. We need to support him. He’s one of the good guys.
Everyone of these criminals needs to be hauled in front of a jury. Nothing will happen until the midterms, so either we need an overwhelming amount of people to make it impossible for Republicans to win, or everyone loses and folks start burning the place down. I sincerely hope that doesn’t happen.
I’ve been saying for a few years now, that this shit will be pounded out for next to nothing as a subscription service to producers and media outlets. If there is any justice, they will end up paying to get their AI shit into shows, because loveless art deserves loveless productions.
Zen, I share your feelings that it is a plummeting nose dive to the bottom. I’m trying to wrap my brain around this, because it clearly robs what diminishing minuscule earnings artist in songwriters get, but I keep hoping there’s a bright side somewhere.
Autotune is such a big part of so much of the sound of pop music - country, gospel, R&B, etc - that it might as well be AI, as far as experiencing anything authentic.
