#TalkinBoutARevolution by #TracyChapman (1988)

"Don't ya know
They're talking about a revolution?
It sounds like a whisper
Don't ya know
They're talking about a revolution?
It sounds like a whisper

[While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sittin' around waitin' for a promotion

Don't ya know?
They're talking about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Poor people gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take what's theirs

Don't ya know you better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Oh, I said you better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

'Cause finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' 'bout a revolution
Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh no
Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh no..."

#NinaSimone - #Revolution pts 1 and 2

"And now we got a revolution
'Cause I see the face of things to come
Yeah, your Constitution
Well, my friend, it's gonna have to bend
I'm here to tell you about destruction
Of all the evil that will have to end.

Some folks are gonna get the notion
I know they'll say I'm preachin' hate
But if I have to swim the ocean
Well I would just to communicate
It's not as simple as talkin' jive
The daily struggle just to stay alive

Singin' about a revolution
Because we're talkin' about a change
It's more than just evolution
Well you know you got to clean your brain
The only way that we can stand in fact
Is when you get your foot off our back..."

From "Songs of Freedom and Spirit," 1969.

[Thread] So, it took having to do a search on the website, but I managed to find the #BlackHistoryMonth audio archives on the #WMPG website. Hopefully, the ones from 2025 will also be posted on their website (and the ones already posted won't disappear...).

[Thread] So, I noticed that #WMPG hasn't made a big deal about #BlackHistoryMonth features like they have in the past. However, #OnTheAir, they have mentioned it a lot! I've managed to catch a few of the Black History month-themed shows, and will be posting set lists and links to the audio archives (which will be available for 5 weeks after airdate). Screenshot is from a past Black History Month web page...

Graphic includes a black fist with the words: Black History Month Black History Month Highlights at WMPG February is Black History month, and with that in mind, WMPG will be broadcasting special shows with featured guest artists and additional on-air content throughout February. This is supplementing our usual programming with the specific focus of highlighting the art, lived experiences, and perspectives of the Black community. Some of our programming highlights for the month of February which will focus on the Black experience and music by Black artists include:
