Johnny Rocket Launch Pad-libertarian Rock N' Roll Experience

   "Enumerated powers? We don't need no stinkin' enumerated powers! We are the federal government! We can do what we want!"

In today's episode Nicky P & Lizzie look at Take Back The Power by The Interrupters. Which side of the anarchist divide does it fall on?   This week in I Heard This Happened, Nicky visits Japan & Lizzie finds the warm safe spaces only classic pop rock can bring.   Nick’s choice Summer Touch by マクロスMACROSS 82-99, is a future-funk hip-hoppy, smooth-jazzy escapade, that encapsulates the best parts of summer nicely for year-round consumption. Lizzie on the other hand brings us Too Long So Long by Everett Almond, an Elvis Costello knock-off in all the ways you want that done, and at 4 tracks well worth the time investment. This week’s interview is with the one and only Mr. Robert P Murphy. We cover a bunch of territory including karaoke, Les Mis, The Beatles & The Beastie Boys so i wont belabor further. Just listen.   Check out Bob online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGgu3Qq-DlE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imtRFHDVBl8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_I_ViiHZXo Or grab his newest

  On this episode Sherry and Alan tell you they’re gonna talk about what the punishment should be for those who lie about rape, and then we basically don't talk about that at all. It’s our show.

We go back to the Batman well and bring an old friend along as a guest to discuss Batman:  Dark Knight Returns.  10 years after retiring, Gotham has descended further and further into crime and chaos as the corrupt police department is failing at the job it prevents others from providing.     Batman comes out of retirement to do battle various enemies, both old and new, for the last time.  This Frank Miller work was a very strong comic series that was faithfully created as an animated feature with some very deep themes worthy of discussion.     Join us as we slice and dice on this one.

Show Summary: Eric Peters Is Coming for Muh Roads! Johnny and Raylene have a great time talking with Auto-enthusiast, Eric Peters. His knowledge of the industry and government evils pair perfectly with his no-nonsense candor and sense of humor. When he talks about the cronyist protectionist policies, unnecessary regulations, and privacy concerns we are affected by, it's difficult to not be fired up!  This guy is a road warrior for liberty, and when you listen to this show, you'll know why.   About the Guest: Eric started out writing about cars for mainstream media outlets such as The Washington Times, Detroit News and Free Press, Investors Business Daily, The American Spectator, National Review, The Chicago Tribune and Wall Street Journal. At some point, it occurred to him that cars – and of course, motorcycles – represent freedom, but that the freedom to drive (and freedom to drive what you wanted to drive) was being systematically undermined by authoritarian control freaks dressed in red and blue. His fo

In today's episode Nicky P & Lizzie make a contentious decision on Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On during analysis time. Nick was ready to hand out the coveted Eric July award but Lizzie brought him back to reality...how far did it slip?   This week in I Heard This Happened Nicky heads to thinky-dreamy land and Lizzie gets lost in the muck of some instrumental 60s throwback jazz.   Nicky brings us the cerebral The More I Sleep The Less I Dream by We Were Promised Jetpacks. An equally atmospheric and heavy offering these gents from the UK manage an ebb and flow hard to pull off and still sound cohesive let alone structured. Lizzie brings us Stop Thief! By Andre M which is something akin to pulling the fun swinging music from the terrible Austin Powers movies.   This week we break with the norm of an interview to talk about movies! In particular Music Movies. We take a look at five very different films: Rockstar, Ray, The Commitments, Idlewild & American Graffiti   For music/show notes visit: h

Show Summary: You won't want to miss this episode with the outspoken and hard-working activist Eric July, where he talks to Johnny and Raylene about changing culture by promoting principles through art and media.  His drive and passion for liberty keeps him hungry, learning, and always improving, working to take these solid ideas of self-ownership to the next level.  He explains why coddling isn't for everyone, and we discuss how we will create warriors for our cause by boldly and without apology, challenging the statist narratives.  This man is a marketing wizard who knows how to cut to the quick while educating others in a truly meaningful way.    If you like this show, you'll love the After Party and All-nighter where Eric was put "on Blast" and answers listener questions and talks about technology, art, and twitter beef as well as issues with people in "the party".  You can hear both at SupportBlastOff.com on our Patreon!

Why did he sue Madison? We’ll get into that historical perspective and why this early Sup Ct decision is so important even today. And what we can do about it.  

In today's episode Nicky P & Lizzie start airing out that dirty religious laundry they have with each other. We look at Freewill by Rush and discuss its religious & objectivist messages.   This week I Heard This Happened finds our pair in very different worlds indeed. Nick's over in Europe in some sweaty club and Lizzy is apparently ten years old plopped down in front of The Cosby Show or Wings or some such nonsense. Nicky brings Kingdoms In Colour by Maribou State. An atmospheric yet easily danceable electronic offering. It reminds me of Caribou meets Royksop but with a more modern R&B bent at times. Lizzy brings The Optimist by Vulfpeck guitarist Cory Wong. Her description is "Imagine if John Mayer had funk as his musical background instead of blues.   In this week’s interview we talk to Mance Rayder of The Free Man Beyond The Wall about his own time in the music industry and some strange concerts you wouldn’t believe happened.   For links to the music in today's episode or to support
