Ep. 309: Hidden Roots of Rock




State of the Human show

Summary: We get the story behind the recovery of the true lyrics of classics by Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones and many more, and to hear the CBB perform some of their biggest hits. Tune in to hear the amazing stories behind the writing and rewriting of rock 'n roll and classics: how "Johnny Be Good" started as "Rhetor be Good" and how Dylan's anthemic chorus in "Rainy Day Women 12 and 35" was originally "Everybody Must Use Modes," and learn about their new, international project, a re-examination of the Old Testament that reveals just how much its writers, and indeed the entire culture of the period, wrestled with the writing process. Featuring: Marvin Diogenes, Clyde Moneyhun. Music: Composition Blues Band. Host: Jonah Willihnganz
