Growing Up

And beyond the music, there are many other reasons I wanted to honor Peter Gabriel with a special FlowRadio tribute show. He is a tireless advocate for human rights.

He started the Witness program to equip people with cameras to fight human rights abuses worldwide. (Peter Gabriel talks about Witness and human rights.)

He is one of the founders of The Elders program, which seeks the collective wisdom of the elders in every corner and culture of the world so we can listen and pay attention to their advice on surviving these difficult changing times in human history.

And just last month, during a tour stop in Mexico, he delivered a petition and message to Mexico's president to do more to stop the murders of women and girls in Cuidad Juraerez.

Getting back to the music:

He started his Real World label primarily to capture and preserve the music of people and cultures around the world and the WOMAD music festival series to celebrate it.

And he created a pretty fabulous recording studio in Bath, England.

WEVL spring pledge drive

WEVL's spring pledge drive starts tomorrow, Friday, April 10.
There's no better time to renew or become a member!
MEMBERS = MUSIC

Tune in on Monday April 13 for a special FlowRadio tribute to the musical genius of Peter Gabriel featuring familiar classics, gems from his Real World projects, and a few covers from other artists.

I found a great documentary on the Web about the making of Peter Gabriel's Security album and the 1981-82 recording sessions for it. It shows the earliest incarnation of what became Real World studios and how he created some of his signature soundscapes and noises, fed them into a Fairlight, or loaded them into a primitive drum machine.

South Bank Show
Part 1
Part 2
