DJ StaticHOST
-a nice connection in the set.
DJ StaticHOST
Uh, the common thread being sunshine and the scene you can hear very clearly in the sets, uh, from her recent Mediterranean travels, actually, her personal odyssey, if you will.
DJ StaticHOST
For me, I really love the King and Koji Radical track, breathing new life into the Edwin Starr classic.
DJ StaticHOST
Also love the Freddie Mercury with that falsetto over that stripped-down Queen instrumental.
John CassidyHOST
What track, you've got to put all this down to one, what track is Alan O'Rourke going to share with the Young Hats from Free Listeners?
Alan O'RourkeGUEST
So, my song of choice, it's a Norman Soul classic, is 25 Miles by Edwin Starr.
John CassidyHOST
Very fitting.
John CassidyHOST
It's a brilliant tune, brilliant intro.
Alan O'RourkeGUEST
But, yeah, The other thing was, I don't know about you guys, but I'm very, very big into my music and I play, I've got playlists for emergencies when they just need to pick me up.
Alan O'RourkeGUEST
So I don't know if you can remember, I can remember what specific times exactly when a song was played in a race.
Alan O'RourkeGUEST
Edwin Starr, I did the Devils a few years ago and it was a torrential rain.
Alan O'RourkeGUEST
comical, torrential rain.
LaurenHOST
Yeah, very interesting.
LaurenHOST
Before that, we heard something that I guess was a little bit more explicit in its dealings with war themes, the song War by Edwin Starr.
LaurenHOST
Of course, we've played that on this show before.
LaurenHOST
It's a song that we love, but obviously something that you don't want a nervous public to be listening to.
Rolf StraubachHOST
The courage that led Florence Reese to write the words to which side are you on on the back of her kitchen calendar after armed men raided her family's home.
Rolf StraubachHOST
The same courage of Edwin Starr saying yes to recording Motown's first protest record after the temptations were forced to say no. Felakuti's courage was the same kind, rooted in the same conviction that the truth had to be said, and that music was a powerful way to communicate that truth.
Rolf StraubachHOST
In a world where people make excuses for supporting an authoritarian government, saying they're just following orders, Felakuti's lyrics still have deep resonance.
Rolf StraubachHOST
I'm Roel Straubar, and this has been Music and Revolution.
Jackie ShaneSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Hey, yeah.
JamesHOST
All right, we started that, uh, set out with Edwin Starr doing Backstreet.
JamesHOST

Ash GouldHOST
Jones, though.
Ash GouldHOST
Delilah? It's Edwin Starr.
Samara GillPANELIST
Oh, is it? War,
Steven HillHOST
Like, everybody from the village, everybody from the community used to go down.
Steven HillHOST
And then if we had Edwin Starr, poor bloody hell, it would be rammed, completely rammed.
Steven HillHOST
And now things get put on, people don't really go.
Steven HillHOST
And I f- I find that quite sad.
TaraHOST
Okay, our next track, we'll see all our lovely listeners out there.
TaraHOST
And it's Agent 002 by Edwin Starr.
Phil TrollHOST
Yes, indeed.
Phil TrollHOST
Let's have a listen to it then, shall we? I wonder where it's from.
Matthew NormanHOST
A question for you, John.
Matthew NormanHOST
War, what is it good for? What is war good for? And the answer, according to the late Edwin Starr, is absolutely nothing.
Matthew NormanHOST
But the other question is, are we at war? Are we in some sort of proxy or warm war? And if so, I mean, we're talking today, not long after John...
Matthew NormanHOST
Ratcliffe, the head of the CIA, dashed to Moscow in what was believed to be to give a warning to Russian high command not to invade NATO states, popping into Riga on his way home, which suggests that maybe there were...
