Due to breaking news concerning the fate of Northern Ireland, Belfast based rap group Kneecap and their battle with the Canadian government who have barred them from entering the country to perform four October 2025 concerts in Toronto and Vancouver, Rock N Roll Fashionistas has convened for an EMERGENCY unscheduled podcast.
DON'T
BELIEVE
THE HYPE
Regrettably, unfolding events have necessitated we gather 'round the microphone and reluctantly acknowledge the elephant in the room these past two years since October 7, 2023.
WARNING: this podcast contains serious issues over and above the usual music ground we cover, issues with dire consequences. Listener discretion is advised.
OPENING TRACK: Our very favorite rap song of all time, "Famine" by Sinead O'Connor from her fourth studio album Universal Mother https://music.apple.com/ca/album/famine/1629177387?i=1629177610
CLOSING TRACKS: both tracks from Kneecap's second studio album, Fine Art released June 14, 2024. In order of appearance: "Interlude: Making Headlines https://music.apple.com/ca/album/interlude-making-headlines/1727141293?i=1727141614 and "Parful" https://music.apple.com/ca/album/parful/1727141293?i=1727142729
If you feel the Canadian government has no place in the concert halls of the nation, if you feel the Canadian government has no place telling you want concerts you can and what concerts you cannot see, you may want to consider signing the British Columbia Civil Liberties petition to Reverse The Kneecap Travel Ban.

In this week's episode we go down the proverbial rabbit hole in hot pursuit of Billy Strayhorn. And all that jazz.
Billy who?
12 O'clock tails.
Jazz.
And cocktails.
Along the way we encounter the unlikely California car salesman, born in 1919, who started Concord Jazz records.
And the most unlikely of all, thirtysomething Linda Ronstadt, through her chart topping #1 album from 1978, Living In The USA, revealing the secret, hidden treasure that lies within the pens of twentysomething tunesmiths Warren Zevon and Elvis.
Costello, that is.
Going further up river a mere five years more, Linda Ronstadt strikes GOLD again! with perhaps, the most unlikely discovery yet, Lush Life, the Great American Songbook and the young teenage Billy Strayhorn. Young. Gifted. Gay. And black.
Join us in our prelude to jazz as we reveal the hidden gem enigma spinning gold in the shadow of the Great Duke.
Duke Ellington, that is.
The Duke
The King
The Count
The Prince
all the Crown heads of state in music's Royalty!
All of this and MORE including introduction by American Academy Award Winning film composer and noted societal satirist "King Rand" Randy Newman.
America's GREAT gift to us all
Jazz.
And rock n roll!
All of this and MORE in the latest episode of Rock N Roll Fashionistas, contextualizing rock n roll since Woodstock 2024

OPENING TRACK: "Everybody Knows About My Good Things" https://music.apple.com/ca/album/everybody-knows-about-my-good-thing/1440863936?i=1440864543 The Rolling Stones began their career in recorded music with an album of covers in 1964. 52 years later in 2016 we hear Mick, Keith & company sound the alarm on their enduring legacy with the release of the penultimate Blue & Lonesome, another album of covers, informed by 52 years of hard living and conflict.
MIDDLE TRACK: *Contains EXPLICIT language WARNING. For the1998 Spike Lee joint He Got Game, a gripping basketball themed African American tale staring Academy Award wining actor Denzel Washington, director Spike Lee spurns the obvious in choosing a soundtrack and film score entirely consisting of orchestral music from master American composer Aaron Copland. For the closing credits to the film, Academy Award winning director Lee enlists the talents of Chuck D and Flavor Flav of Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame hip hop group Public Enemy along with the unmistakable two note guitar riff of Stephen Stills' "For What It's Worth (Stop, Hey What's That Sound)" written as a protest of the Sunset Strip police takedown in November 1966 on the strip in Los Angeles and released a month later, December 5, 1966, by his band Buffalo Springfield.

Ever wonder how rock star musician Steven Van Zandt, Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame member of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, got his first acting gig when cast in the award winning landmark television show The Sopranos?
Ever wonder how The Sopranos got that catchy, groovy cool theme song? Where did it come from? And who does it?
Did The Sopranos’ creator, David Chase, have an unusual idea for the legendary show’s theme song drastically different from what they ultimately went with? What was it?
Who’s responsible for 1960s Jersey Shore blue eyed soul brothers The Rascals being inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame? What drastic action was taken immediately following their induction speech? And how does this tie in with The Sopranos?
And how does all of this tie into the UK acid house country blues gospel rock of Alabama 3?
