Sonic Café, that’s Phil Collins and Genesis with Dance on a Volcano from the 1976 LP Trick of the Tail. So hey welcome to the café, I’m Scott Clark and this is episode 451. This time the Sonic Café brings you an example of the apple not falling far from the tree, because like Phil Collins, his son Nic has developed into an amazing drummer. So much so, that he played drums for Genesis on there most recent and probably final tour with his Dad Phil. More on that in a bit, our music mix is pulled from over 50 years, listen for Greta Van Fleet, The Police, Green Day, George Ezra with his 2018 hit Shotgun, dinosaur rock from Black Sabbath, listen for Paranoid and the list goes on. We also have another Crazy music facts everyone should know, from the folks at The Orgins of Songs, plus Neil deGrasse Tyson stops by to tell us what would actually happen if dug a hole through earth to China. All straight ahead, now about that Father and Son thing, here’s Phil Collins son Nic, with his band Better Strangers, from 2022 this is But I don’t know your name, and our name is the Sonic Café.

The "Uniting for Peace" resolution allows the UN General Assembly to step in and suggest collective action to member states when the Security Council is unable to take necessary steps to protect global peace and security. Hosts Nora Barrows-Friedman and Ali Abunimah speak with former senior UN official Craig Mokhiber about why he thinks this mechanism could be a way for the UN to step in – despite the American veto in the Security Council – and force Israel to halt the genocide. Since July, people have been protesting outside of the home of the UN secretary-general for his inaction to stop Israel's genocide. Activist Sawsan Samara joins us from the doorstep of Antonio Guterres residence in New York City. On the Resistance Report, the Electronic Intifada’s contributing editor, Jon Elmer, brings us up to date on resistance operations from Gaza and the West Bank. And we highlight an article from the Electronic Intifada’s contributor Malak Hijazi who writes that: “ Israeli ground forces are closing in, and we face an impossible evacuation from northern Gaza.”

Compliant Canada moves to strengthen gas guzzling auto monopolies, putting EVs on slow road to oblivion, as his Trumpness wishes. Flight attendants made gains through "illegal" strike action. Biggest problem is reality of government and company connivance.

In this program we discuss cultivating beauty in the space between brilliance and madness with Ken Paul Rosenthal, an independent film maker based in San Francisco, California. Rosenthal says his “work explores the geography of madness through the regenerative power of nature, urban landscapes, home movies, and archival footage from hygiene films.” And his 2011 film “Crooked Beauty”, available on Vimeo, reveals his artistry and cinematography skills. Rosenthal’s 2018 film “Whisper Rapture” is a musical and mental health documentary focusing on Bonfire Madigan and her cello. The music you are hearing now is by Bonfire Madigan on her cello, with permission. Not a stranger to demons of the mind, Rosenthal readily shares his personal experiences, and describes how communities of like-minded people can collectively ease the individual pain and find joyful creativity in the spaces between brilliance and madness. When Ken Paul Rosenthal and I visited by phone from his home in San Francisco, California on July 30, 2018, we began our conversation when I asked him to describe what many people call mental illness. The books Ken Paul Rosenthal recommends are both by David Abram: “The Spell of the Sensuous: Perception and Language in a More-Than-Human World,” and “Becoming Animal: An Earthly Cosmology.” The film he recommends is “Leave No Trace,” about a father and daughter who lived off the grid in the wilderness.

Golden oldies (60s, 70s, 80s, 90s)

Some songs from the "dirty 30s" of a down home rural sound with the Hoosier Hot Shots, a couple tunes from the Nickelodeon crowd, and The Brady Bunch cover a 70s song they shouldn't. Oh, by the way, Snarf is dillusional and he thinks he has a cow in the van this week. We wouldn't want to leave that detail out.
