The second half includes Schubert’s 9th (“Great”) Symphony of 1826, which echoed Beethoven’s recent 9th and Brahms’ 1st Symphony, 50 years later, in 1876, delayed for so long, in fear of being compared to the great Beethoven.

This Week: Goodbye John Wayne and Day Is Coming – The Music of Geof Morgan
Geof Morgan was a pioneer in the men’s music that emerged around 1980 and which was so transformational for so many.

His healing work continued all the while, though Geof’s music lay largely dormant for decades, till about 6 years, where it sprung fully back to life. Geof released the album Morning Rising last year, with new breadth and depth.

This week:  

Today, our guest on KLOI Community Radio is  White is the author of Cold Warriors: Writers Who Waged the Literary Cold War.

During the Cold War, literature was both sword and noose. Novels, essays, and poems could win the hearts and minds of those caught between the competing creeds of capitalism and communism. They could also lead to blacklisting, exile, imprisonment, or execution for their authors if they offended those in power.

The clandestine intelligence services of the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union recruited secret agents and established vast propaganda networks devoted to literary warfare. But the battles were personal, too: Friends turned on one another, political fissures split lovers, and artists were undermined by inadvertent complicities.

Among those involved with dissidence, espionage and propaganda were George Orwell, Mary McCarthy, Graham Greene, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, John le Carré, Richard Wright, Ernest Hemingway, Boris Pasternak, and Václav Havel, along with the spies, government officials, military officers, publishers, politicians, and critics who helped turn words into weapons at a time when the stakes could not have been higher.
