The Wavelength
Monday September 20th, 2021 with Joe Reilly
Some songs of politics and elections, some songs of life and some jazzy numbers for a Monday night.

We open with the classic Alice Cooper track for our national election culminating in voting today. The first hour has some songs that speak directly to politics and politicians and some songs that fit in with those themes though they were not written specifically about politics. We have a dedication to Mr. O'Toole and his weaselly ways and one song about Mr. Trudeau's inability to follow through on his promises. And a great song from Indigenous artist Adrian Sutherland about how promises to Indigenous communities in particular are frequently forgotten. In hour two we get into some funky, jazzy numbers - a few with saxophones ablazing! Enjoy.
