Episode 172: 3 Chords & the Truth: Xanax, take me away!

June 29, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 125 MB

If you can't laugh, you'll end up sticking your head in the oven. Yeah, I watched the presidential debate pitting a bad debater who's lost a step . . . and a pathological liar who aspires to be Short-Bus Hitler. Couple that with a thoroughly broken journalistic infrastructure (I'm looking at you, CNN), and if cannabis were legal in this state, I'd be snarfing pot gummies like Raisinettes in a freakin' movie theater. Thus, the importance of good music on 3 Chords & the Truth . . . ...

Episode 171: 3 Chords & the Truth: Baby, it's you

June 14, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 126 MB

Here's to you. After all, without you, we at 3 Chords & the Truth are talking to ourselves and playing records for the wind. So, musically, that's where we're starting on the show this week. But that's not where we're going to end. There is lots to love -- as usual -- about yet another episode of the Big Show. I mean, we're talking some seriously good music, intelligently presented. Thank a seriously massive music library. And that's about all I have to say about that. If you kn...

Episode 170: 3 Chords & the Truth: You get what you get

June 08, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 125 MB

By the time I got to Memphis, I was sinking. You'll find the note I left hangin' on your phone. You'll laugh when you read the part that says I'm flailin.' 'Cause I've flailed on here so many times before. By the time I hit record, I was low energy. You'll probably think the Big Show is nothin' at all. But you'll just have to go on thinkin' . . . mighty small. That's all. By the time you figure it out, show'll be over. You'll turn and say "That's 3 Chords & the Truth!" ...

Episode 169: 3 Chords & the Truth: What just happened?

May 31, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 125 MB

What just happened here? Well, as this episode of 3 Chords & the Truth came together and headed to the Internet tubes, a former president of the United States was convicted on 34 felony counts in New York. That's a first in two and a half centuries. Momentous stuff, to say the least. And, unsurprisingly, convicted felon Donald Trump and Republican politicians from soup to nuts -- emphasis on the nuts -- are waging a brutal rhetorical war on the American justice system. Throw some...

Episode 167: 3 Chords & the Truth: What can I say?

May 17, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 125 MB

What can I say? Well, I don't know. I've been in a contemplative mood but, unfortunately, that hasn't readily translated into something in particular to actually say on this week's 3 Chords & the Truth. Guess the music will have to do the talking. Good thing the music, as usual, just says it all. That's the Big Show for you. And that is all I have to say. It's 3 Chords & the Truth, y'all. Be there. Aloha.

Episode 166: 3 Chords & the Truth: Nudge dread

May 10, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 126 MB

"These are the times that try men's souls." Thomas Paine opened his essay "American Crisis" with that sentence in December 1776. The revolution against Great Britain wasn't going so well at that point. Two hundred forty-eight years later, with a country riven as much as it's been since the Civil War, with a deranged authoritarian commanding the loyalty of a good 40 percent of Americans -- with American democracy itself teetering on the sharp edge of oblivion -- these are the times...

Episode 165: 3 Chords & the Truth: Spiraling

April 27, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 127 MB

This is where I'm supposed to be clever or funny -- or something -- as I say something that's vaguely about this week's episode of the Big Show. And perhaps you've noticed that I'm rather late posting this week's 3 Chords & the Truth. Truth is . . . clever, funny or saying much about this week's show isn't really in the cards this early Saturday morning. I'm posting the show because it's been in the can since early Friday morning, but hyping it would be, in my reckoning right now,...

Episode 164: 3 Chords & the Truth: Here comes the music

April 19, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 125 MB

Sooner or later, the Big Show's gonna get ya. Sooner or later, friend, you got to give in. Sooner or later, the tunes are gonna let 'cha. Sooner or later, the music's gonna win. Music's gonna win. IT'S JUST a matter of time before you make up your mind. To give all those grooves that you've been hiding. Its just a question of when, I've told you time and again. You'll get all the tunes you've been denying. Sooner or later, 3C&T is gonna get ya. Sooner or later, friend, you g...

Episode 163: 3 Chords & the Truth: Nekkid truth

April 12, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 126 MB

I sit here at the keyboard, naked before you, telling and playing the truth. Well, not naked naked but figuratively naked. And certainly not nekkid. As any Southerner will tell you, there's a difference between naked and nekkid. Naked is clothesless. Nekkid is naked while up to something. There's a 3 Chords & the Truth naked truth for you. I'll tell you the naked truth of why Linda Martell's debut country album was her last album. It is not an easy path for Black women in Nashvill...

Episode 162: 3 Chords & the Truth: Off to the races

April 06, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 125 MB

Ever had one of those weeks when all you could manage was to go off on a tangent? This has been one of those weeks, following a couple of weeks off. Which led to this week on 3 Chords & the Truth, with what I could manage. But -- oh! -- what a tangent. Actually, make that two legitimate tangents. Sometimes, all you can manage after a couple of challenging weeks turns out to be pretty glorious. And this week, that is your Big Show. It's 3 Chords & the Truth, y'all. Be there. Aloh...

Episode 161: 3 Chords & the Truth: Moonglow

March 16, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 127 MB

When does "old people's music" become your music, too? I think that happens in a couple of ways -- when you start playing it yourself, then something happens in your head and in your heart . . . and when you encounter magic in the night. Let's just call it "moonglow." Or, more properly, "Moonglow." That is what this week's edition of 3 Chords & the Truth is all about. Let's go deeper, and I'll use my own experience to do that. Big band was my parents' music, kind of like country...

Episode 160: 3 Chords & the Truth: Let's put on a show!

March 09, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 125 MB

Perhaps you've rolled your eyes through a less-than-stellar production put on by not-so-good high school thespians. Well, if you sat through U.S. Sen Katie Britt's response to the State of the Union address, you certainly have had that experience. Alabama's got some 'splainin' to do. Well, this week's edition of 3 Chords & the Truth is not that. If it ever is, I'm hangin' it up for the public good. But the proof is in the listening, and I guaran-damn-tee that there's not a cringe...

Episode 156: 3 Chords & the Truth: Placement is everything

February 10, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 126 MB

Placement is everything. Placing the right players in the right positions on the right team? It's everything. Hiring the right coaches? Everything. Placing the right people in Congress, while placing the wrong people far, far away? As we have seen the past few years . . . everything. Placing the right man in the White House? Everything. Placing the man with 91 criminal counts pending before a jury -- and definitely not placing him in the presidency again? Everything. Here at 3...

Episode 153: 3 Chords & the Truth: Fruit salad . . . frozen

January 19, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour - 126 MB

If you put together a lovely fruit salad -- say with apples, peaches and cherries -- and you sit it on your front porch today in Omaha, by God, Nebraska . . . how long before it freezes solid? My guess is around five minutes. That where we are, right here, right now. Baby, it's cold outside. Damn, I should have worked that song into 3 Chords & the Truth this week. Ah, the things one thinks of when it's too late to do anything about it. ANYWAY, we've been in the deep freeze for mo...

Episode 96: 3 Chords & the Truth: Chill, being

September 17, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 124 MB

Ever feel the need to dial it back? To tone it down some? To mellow out, man? To just chill? Yeah, me, too. So the Big Show will this week. Yes, it will. That's not to say it'll be moribund (stick that in your Funk and Wagnall's, pally). It's just going to be outstanding in a non-frenetic manner. I guess I could say more, but how chill would that be? It wouldn't. It would be stretching . . . straining . . . trying too hard. Nope. This week, we just let the show come to us. I'd ...

Episode 94: 3 Chords & the Truth: College rock

September 03, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 127 MB

I remember skinny ties, legal beer at 18, doing the Pogo . . . and college radio. I remember when college radio was a force of nature. Driving the musical narrative. Making commercial radio look ever so lame. I remember a time before commercial radio started making itself look lame. I remember college radio with real DJs behind real microphones, all through the night. Playing real records, before CDs -- much less computer automation -- was a thing. I remember. And so does ...

Episode 93: 3 Chords & the Truth: Over the moon

August 27, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 125 MB

You'll be over the moon about this edition of 3 Chords & the Truth. Whether you want to be or not. By George, you will. NASA is sending up the first, unmanned, Artemis mission to the moon this coming week, but you're going to get there first. Your space-age Mighty Favog is going to make sure of that, and the Big Show is your rocket ship. Bang! Zoom! You're goin' to the moon! And all you have to do is sit back and listen. It's 3 Chords & the Truth, y'all. Be there. Aloha.

Episode 91: 3 Chords & the Truth: How it's done

August 06, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 124 MB

Alrighty then, I'm going to tell you how to make the magic that is 3 Chords & the Truth. First, you gather up a bunch of records, CDs and tapes. Then you mix in some digital files. Place the preceding into the 3 Chords & the Truth machine. Put the power switch in the "on" position, then depress the "engage" button. In a few hours, you will see the finished product in the output bin. A copy automatically will be uploaded to the Internet. Then, sit back and enjoy the Big Show...

Episode 90: 3 Chords & the Truth: Uhhhh . . . OK

July 30, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 126 MB

There will come a time during this program that you will have a serious thought pop into your overloaded brain. It will be a simple thought, yet profound. This thought, arguably, could sum up 14 years of 3 Chords & the Truth. You may question your sanity. You may question my sanity. But first, there will be the thought. At the time in question. It will be this, I assure you: "This is some f***ed up s***, but it could be brilliant." Welcome to the Big Show. It's ...

Episode 75: 3 Chords & the Truth: Anybody really know what time it is?

March 12, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 124 MB

Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care? Do we go forward or backward? This, I do know, however. Any time is the right time for a little 3 Chords & the Truth. Or a lot, for that matter. Personally, I'd go with a lot. It's that good. And that's good enough, because it's the Big Show. It's as simple as that. Period. I said period. It's 3 Chords & the Truth, y'all. Be there. Aloha.

Episode 74: 3 Chords & the Truth: Dropping the needle

March 05, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 126 MB

Well, it's time to drop the needle on another stack of hot wax on the Big Show, Daddio. That used to mean something, and it says nothing young about me that I know what it used to mean. Man. That incomprehensibly said, it's another episode of 3 Chords & the Truth. As per the norm, it's another good one. Right on. I am copacetic with the lingo, for I am a groovy dude. Get it? Groovy, as in hot wax on the record machine. Forget it. Let's just drop the needle and get on with it. Th...

Episode 73: 3 Chords & the Truth: Russia . . . go #@&! yourself

February 26, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 124 MB

The other day, a Russaian warship demanded the surrender of a tiny Ukrainian outpost on a small island off the coast of Odessa. Or else. The radio response of the 13 soldiers stationed there? “Russian warship, go f*** yourself.” Those were the last known words of the soldiers before the shelling began and their lives ended. We live in a chaotic world, and malefactors abound. Fascism and tyranny are ascendant, particularly in the United States, which has many Vladimir Putin wannabes. Thu...

Episode 72: 3 Chords & the Truth: America on the hoof

February 19, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 124 MB

You know how your parents told you that if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all? Today's subject on 3 Chords & the Truth is American corporate capitalism. OTHERWISE, we have a lot of great music on the show today -- which is typical for the Big Show. I think you'll like it. That pretty much covers everything, so you can get to listening now. It's 3 Chords & the Truth, y'all. Be there. Aloha.

Episode 71: 3 Chords & the Truth: Mahvelous

February 12, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 125 MB

You have your normal, baseline self. Then you have yourself on 3 Chords & the Truth. See the difference? To the world, the humdrum world, you seem a bit off-kilter -- a blur, perhaps. But to you . . . you look mahvelous. You feel mahvelous. You are mahvelous. Crucially, the music is mahvelous. It doesn't matter if you can't spell marvelous. That's because you, on the Big Show, are mahvelous. And the world just can't keep up. Mahvelous. That is the world of 3 Chords & the Truth. It...

Episode 70: 3 Chords & the Truth: Legitimate musical discourse

February 05, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 124 MB

Classic form. Classic sound. Now, pass me some heavy weaponry and a couple of clips. We're gonna have us some legitimate musical discourse. NOTE: We have ways of making you like this episode of 3 Chords & the Truth. Uhhhh . . . we're all patriots here, right? As usual, the musical mix here on the Big Show runs from soup to nuts. and there is a high degree of confidence that you will love the program this week. Right? I said . . . riiiight? Excellent. See, discourse is good. Yeah...

Episode 69: 3 Chords & the Truth: The long and shorts of it

January 29, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 125 MB

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh . . . yeah. I've been known to not wear pants -- and for all you know, I'm not wearing pants now -- but you don't need to see that. This is why some of us are in radio. Well, this is another edition of 3 Chords & the Truth, and it's as good as usual. And, as per the norm, the river of sound runs broad and deep. I guess that's one reason why it's called the Big Show. After all, we have more than 30,000 songs to pick from, and the music library grows by the week. For tr...

Episode 68: 3 Chords & the Truth: That old feeling

January 22, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 127 MB

The internet is out. Again. So, I'll be brief here on the cell connection. This week's edition of 3 Chords & the Truth takes a musical journey spanning almost a century and covering the gamut of style and content. In other words, not that big a departure from what we do every week. And, boy, is it good. Which, again, is no departure at all from the usual here on the Big Show. For example, the program features . . . nah, I'm not going to tell you. That would just completely remove...

Episode 67: 3 Chords & the Truth: Dial 'M' for music

January 15, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 124 MB

Want music? Just dial "M." Dialing "M" will connect you with 3 Chords & the Truth and all the great music you want . . . . . . and need these days. These days. Boy, that's a loaded phrase, isn't it. Thus, the need for all the best tunes we can get our ears on. As usual, you won't know what's coming next, but you'll be glad when it hits your speakers. That's kind of the nature of the Big Show. And that's da name of dat tune. It's 3 Chords & the Truth, y'all. Be there. Aloha.

Episode 64: 3 Chords & the Truth: No old ladies were harmed

December 05, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 126 MB

Let's be clear: Despite what you may have been told, no old ladies actually have been harmed by listening to 3 Chords & the Truth. There may have been a close call or three since 2008, however. Just wanted to clear that up straight away. That said, we have another stellar program for you this week on the Big Show. Really. That's no bull. Honestly, it's good. And we have a surprise for you during the course of the festivities. No, I won't tell you what it is. Then it wouldn't be a su...

Episode 63: 3 Chords & the Truth: Super!

November 20, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 124 MB

Here I am, staring at a blank page on the computer. Well, crap. Now it's not blank anymore, because I just wrote about staring at a blank page on the computer. Which really doesn't merit a "Well, crap," because writing something on the computer screen was the point. Right? Of course, while writing this on the previously blank computer screen, I did totally manage not to mention 3 Chords & the Truth once. That's a fail. Then again, I just did mention the Big Show -- twice now in the sa...

October 02, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 125 MB

The world doesn't stop, and neither does the Big Show. The latter is a good thing. As to the former . . . well, at least you have 3 Chords & the Truth. And that's all I have to say about that. Honestly, y'all. What the hell is there to say anymore? Just this: Listen to the Big Show. It's good. Apart from that, I got nothin' these days.

August 07, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 124 MB

It's a terrible thing to die of spite. The virus does not care about your "freedom," which now truly is "just another word for nothing left to lose." At least we still have memories of a lost world here on the Big Show. They will have to suffice, to bring us the balm of nostalgia in a world where we seem to prefer death over life . . . and science. Bile over balm. Mad promotional skillz for this episode, right? Trust me, this week's music is a lot better than my state of mind here in ...

Episode 51: 3 Chords & the Truth: As real as you can stand

July 17, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 125 MB

It's a strange thing to try to talk -- via Facebook, alas -- someone through a horrible loss, telling him that what he could not control was not his fault. Me and more than a few others, actually. It's stranger yet -- sick-making, actually -- to learn the next week that this Facebook friend, someone who graduated from your high school a year or two after you did, was found dead in his house a few days ago. One's mind draws the logical conclusions. And then you think, "Jesus,...

Episode 50: 3 Chords & the Truth: Uhhhhhhhhh . . . .

July 10, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 124 MB

I was working on putting together this week’s episode of the Big Show, last night and it was going just fine, but then something happened. We had a bit of weather here in Omaha, by God, Nebraska. By “weather,” I mean all hell broke loose. For about an hour, conditions varied between “strong tropical storm” and Category 1 hurricane. This, mind you, 1,000 miles from the nearest coastline. In the Midwest, we call that “a pretty good thunderstorm.” And some fallen limbs, a neighbor’s fallen...

Episode 49: 3 Chords & the Truth: It's 100% fun

June 19, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 124 MB

The Big Show is 100 percent fun, once you get used to it. And, if you ask me, it's nice to get used to not hearing the same 100 songs -- if you're lucky -- over and over and over again on the radio. Then again, some folks just can't handle expanding one's mind . . . or one's horizons. Thanks for not being one of those people. Because you're here at 3 Chords & the Truth and not there. And, boy, are you gonna get some variety today. There's not really anything more to say, is there? So ...

Episode 46: 3 Chords & the Truth: Listen to the music

May 29, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 124 MB

If you listen to the music this week on the 3 Chords & the Truth, I'll be your Dixie chicken. S'wonderful. We can go hear the Sultans of Swing, and we'll do the Tripe Face Boogie. I'll speak easy, and you'll be utterly bewitched. That's how it goes on the Big Show today. Heck, yesterday, too. I mean, life is just a bowl of cherries -- except when it's not. Does that sound good to you? C'mon, talk to me. I'll be around, at least until the real thing comes along. Or until I head to Wo...

May 15, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 124 MB

Listen, I'm trying to just phone in the program this week, but Ernestine kept wanting me to feed the pay phone with quarters. Wait. What's this "cell" thing you keep talking about? Smart what? I phone? No, I not a telephone. I am Mighty Favog. What the hell is wrong with y'all? Anyway, you have Ernestine the Telephone Operator to thank for having a reasonably engaging and well curated edition of 3 Chords & the Truth this week. Otherwise. . . . So. There's a pretty good show. 'Nuff s...

Episode 43: 3 Chords & the Truth: It happens

May 08, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 124 MB

We live in a world crumbling under the weight of "It happens." Case in point: COVID. Other case in point: Trump. And, like, when when you start to dig out from under "It happens" -- when you've finally gotten fully vaccinated against the 'rona, for example and you're ready to reengage with the world, such as it is . . . "It happens." Again. You find you've forgotten your social graces. This being around people thing is kind of awkward. It happens. Well, bucko, 3 Chords & the Truth...

Episode 39: 3 Chords & the Truth: Lent everlasting

April 03, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 128 MB

We're at the end of another season of Lent smack in the middle of a seeming everlasting season of Lent -- and the 'rona. That, at least, is how it seems here at the Big Show. I'm guessing it feels pretty much the same way at your place. Understandably, and also given that it's late on Good Friday as we post this episode of the program, it's pretty much a Lenten kind of 3 Chords & the Truth this week. That doesn't mean it's not an excellent edition of the show . . . just kinda dialed bac...

Episode 38: 3 Chords & the Truth: Classing the joint up

March 20, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 126 MB

I sit here in the studio listening to Juan Garcia Esquivel at ear-splitting volume, because that's what the hell I do. I love this stuff . . . but that's probably the next edition of the Big Show. Mrs. Favog loves the "space age" of space age bachelor pad music. She's highly suspicious of the "bachelor pad" part. Her husband turns 60 on Wednesday, so I'm not sure how much she has to worry about on that front. None of that, however, tells you much about this week's edition of 3 Chords &...

We got the beat. We got all the colors of the rainbow. We got the music. We 3 Chords & the Truth, y'all. And we still hangin' in there and holdin' out against the 'rona. While we're waiting on the miracle vaccine jab, we'll just play some really good music for you. Truly, it's been a terrible year since the world stopped last March. The Big Show has done what we could to make it a little less intolerable, because what else can you do that doesn't involve curling up into a little ball...

Episode 36: 3 Chords & the Truth: The point of it all

March 06, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 125 MB

Somewhere, there's a point to this show. Maybe the music is the point to 3 Chords & the Truth. (OK, obviously the music is the point to the show.) But beyond that, I mean, for this week's tunefest. You discuss. I'll wait. OK, THIS WEEK I guess the point to the Big Show is whatever you want it to be. I'm open-minded that way. It's 3 Chords & the Truth, y'all. Be there. Aloha.

I pity those who never got the chance to be inspired by the radio -- at least inspired to do something other than storm the Capitol. I suppose this is yet another step down the road to old farthood, the compulsion to tell the young'uns how much better it was back when we were whippersnappers. Some of that is, undeniably, bullshit.

This show . . . the problems with the United States of Qmerica . . . that bald spot on the top of your head . . . wildfires . . . that we have a congresswoman who believes in Jewish space lasers -- take your pick, or take all of the preceding.
