I'M THE MIGHTY FAVOG, and welcome to Revolution 21 . . . and its freeform show, 3 CHORDS & THE TRUTH. 3 Chords & the Truth is good music and a good time. 3C&T shares the Revolution 21 empire with Revolution 21's Blog for the People, which -- like the show -- is a mixture of . . . EVERYTHING. The serious and the foolish. Rock . . . and roll. And blues in the night.

episode 127: 3 Chords & the Truth: <i>The art of sound</i>
Welcome to the art of sound, which today especially trumps the insanity of American politics.
Crap. There’s that word again — trump. Or, in our case, Trump.
Donald Trump is the boil on our collective arse that resists all treatment. And now he’s up on federal espionnage and obstruction charges. Cue the flying monkeys hooting, whining and threatening revenge and civil war.
Music is art, but it also can be a balm in these troubled times. 3 Chords & the Truth, overwhelmingly comprised of music, alas, can soothe our collective angst . . . I think. At any rate, it’s all I got, so it had better.
It seems to me that the art of sound resides within the music, but not only that. The art of sound also encompasses how we use the music, how we present the music.
Yes, it’s the Big Show. But I also hope it’s, in some way, art. And I hope it’s something of a balm.
I mean, like I said, it’s all I got.
This week on the program, we’ve got a progression of music going, so to speak. You’re going on a journey — a pleasant one, I trust.
And the farther we go on our musical journey, I’m hopeful the farther it takes us — even if it’s just for a while — from the insanity and ugliness of this present American political dystopia. One does what one can.
This show is what I can do.
Enjoy.
It’s 3 Chords & the Truth, y’all. Be there. Aloha.
