John meant the world, to most people, and definitely to both of us. His music, his message, and his fun way of spreading it, attracted so many to him. One wicked soul saw things differently than most. He took John's life on 12/8/1980... Forgiveness is a virtue, but forgive us for being less than virtuous in our disdain for that man. For us, the living, we have found ways to move forward for decades now. This episode, repeated this week, has helped some of those who still mourn. Markus and Ray had two very different evenings on December 8th, 1980. Hear their stories, and a Rock & Roll intersection on that date, and the mournful night after. Thank you, and here's our best wishes for a happy holiday season, whichever one(s) you celebrate.

Markus and Ray add one more "green" thing, along the road to celebrating the Irish in us all! There's music and merriment, and drink, of course!

Along the way, the guys actually talk some history, Rock & Roll, and otherwise! Like so many topics, there's more to Irish Rock than U2 and Thin Lizzy. You may already know a lot, but we learned all kinds of stuff while prepping for this one!

So, raise a glass, toast those you hold dear, and celebrate!

The contrast in energy of these two nights is stark, and part of the discussion. The mood the night of the show was appropriately laid back for San Francisco. The Carousel Ballroom, which would shortly become the Fillmore (West), hosted the April 24, 1968 concert, and tape was rolling, as was the case when Owlsley Stanley was at the sound board. He recorded most shows that he mixed, which gives purpose to his foundation's modern mission of preservation. This Carter-Cash album could do a lot of good in that area. Markus and Ray talk with William "Hawk" Semins and Pete Bell of The Owlsley Stanley Foundation, about this show, and their ongoing efforts to preserve this audio legacy!

]]> 2446 yes Too Much Too Young: The 2-Tone Records Story Before our July Summer vacation, a really great talk with author Daniel Rachel (Like Some Forgotten Dream, Don't Look Back In Anger, Walls Come Tumbling Down) to discuss his latest book, Too Much Too Young: The 2-Tone Records Story! The music of Ska was the next big thing in London, and in Coventry, where many of the bands percolated in a vacuum. They were less effected by outside trends, and created their own thing. It's about the way Ska music, back to the early artists of Jamaica, makes you feel! The way it moves you! Daniel and the guys delve into that and what fueled the black & white-checkered trend of the Brits who adopted this music as their own! The Americans got into the act, too, as both Ray and Markus indicate in this episode. If you don't know much about Ska, dig in and start to learn right here!

That's what happened when Markus & Ray talked with author Steven Gaines.

All You Need Is Love, his new book, builds a POV telling of the tale, introducing new information and perspective. Gaines also shares many previously unknown details about his experiences interviewing Fabs. He also tells his own story in the midst of it (next book, Steve?). All are reasons for reading this book. As Steven details his experience with Philadelphia, our hometown, his interaction with local TV icon Gene London comes into play.

Much as here in the 21st century, the influence of women on music of all genres was over-the-top. That impact was felt, maybe most of all, by Rock music. In previous decades, much of the music being made by women was written for them, fabricated in Pop music factories, but in the '70s that changed! This week, Markus and Ray dig back to that era of cool hairdos, bell bottoms and artificial fabrics to find their favorites from that era! There are a couple surprises along the way!

They dig into the email bin at imbalancedhistory@gmail.com for listener interactions, opinions and ideas from you!

]]> 2849 yes Episode Of The Year: The Story Of Fleetwood Mac Almost every user gets a Spotify wrap-up for the year. Markus & Ray were already leaning towards this episode, originally released on February 6th. Then the year-end wrap-up hit the inbox, and it was a done deal. Funny thing is, The Imbalanced Boys both loved that ep, and were surprised to see it react so well immediately, despite the continued popularity of the band. Coming just months after the passing of The Songbird, Christine McVie may have boosted listens, but really, the Mac just never seems to wane in popularity. So, enjoy this Xmas Day release on your new device (if Santa brought you one), and please tell a friend to listen, as we approach our 5th anniversary as a podcast crew!

But that use of the illustration is trimmed, with a few people knocked out of the frame.

So we stuck with the best version, even after finding version #3, which has some of the same people, or the same people at a different age than in the original, and also some other, different people that weren't in the flickr version.

Having muddied that up, we do need some help to zero in on two of the faces, and total help on one of them. Find out who's who inside the episode! Email us: imbalancedhistory@gmail.com

In the U.S., it was a social/political/cultural shift, embraced mostly by young people at first. Social change was being fueled by racial tensions, and a break with the past by a new generation, who in many cases shared the politics and struggle of civil rights, as well as opposition to the Vietnam War. The epicenter of The Summer Of Love was San Francisco, but there were other cities that shared the lifestyle and music of the hippies of The Haight.

The tale of "little girl blue," and why her Blues were so sad. It's about The Sixties, it's about the San Francisco Scene, The Haight...the bands! It's about Big Brother meets Pearl, and sadly, it's about her death...

Inside his left-leaning views you can feel Gall's incredible admiration for Strummer. He informs deeply on the many facets of Joe and his life, which our previous episodes about "the only band that matters" could not.  We highly recommend his book, the punk rock politics of Joe Strummer! Also available at other outlets (just don't go to the "A place"!)

This week, the Imbalanced Brothers focus on AIR Montserrat, a tropical paradise with a world-class recording studio!

]]> 2361 yes The Next Wave: 1978-79 http://imbalancedhistory.com/ The years 1978 & 1979 are significant in the Rock And Roll Timeline. The first wave of Punk Rock and Alternative were evolving and growing into so much more. Bands like The Talking Heads and Blondie were the Next Wave before The Next Wave was recognized, and alongside Joe Jackson, Elvis Costello and The Police, these bands brought the Next Wave to the mainstream without compromising their sound. We are taking a look at these two years and their significance to what was happening with the New Wave coming because of bands like The Jam, XTC, Ian Dury & The Blockheads, etc. Post Punk going strong because of bands like Gang Of Four, The X-Ray Spex, Generation X, The Stranglers and more. The growth of the Gothic branch with bands like The Damned, Siouxsie & The Banshees, The Cure and Joy Division setting the course for what was ahead. The Second wave of Ska was gaining momentum with the creation of Two-Tone Records and the emergence of The Specials. And, the sound of Hardcore punk because of bands like The Germs were starting to take root in cities across the world. Bands like U2 were emerging from the ashes of punk and creating a fresh new sound. Patti Smith, Kraftwerk and Gary Numan helped facilitate change as well. There was so much happening in Rock And Roll at that time and we give a brief overview of many of the artists who contributed to the changing sounds of music during these two significant years.
