LISTEN TO SOUL-PATROL CEO BOB DAVIS ON NATIONALLY SYNDICATED BEV SMITH SHOW
On 9/20/2005 guest host Chris Moore had Soul-Patrol’s Bob Davis on for 3 hours to discuss the cultural, social and political impact in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina with a cross section of his audience via telephone across 22 cities in the United States. We thank to the American Urban Radio Network for allowing Soul-Patrol to rebroadcast the three-hour program in it’s entirety.
To attempt to discuss the music and culture of the 1970’s and 1980’s , in a vacuum, without an understanding of the culture that spawned it, and the culture that is created by it is to miss the whole point. And not surprisingly, some of the people who attempt to do so end up being little more than culture bandits.
This collection of essays taken together as a whole, is an attempt to place the music and culture of the 1970’s and 1980’s in some type of context, as we try to come to grips with the glory and the failure of the past, and look towards a future of hope .
–Bob Davis.
