Episode 1669 — Celine, Courage & the Values That Bind Us

from Blind Magic in Alice Springs Hosted by bridgeovermurray

Join Murray Stewart in episode 1669 of Blind Magic from Alice Springs as he reflects on sources of inspiration, personal recovery, and the values that matter most. Murray opens with warm greetings and shares how recent public figures moved him — from Brownlow Medallist Nick Daicos, whose heartfelt acceptance speech highlighted family and character, to international star Celine Dion. Murray recounts how Celine Dion's music helped sustain him during a life-or-death struggle in the Royal Adelaide Hospital, and celebrates her determination in returning to the stage after years battling Stiff Person Syndrome. He also notes her thoughtful appearance by video at the John Farnham tribute concert and the compassion she continues to show for friends and colleagues. The episode explores themes of family, faith, and the importance of staying grounded. Murray praises the upbringing and Christian values he sees in role models like Daicos and Dion, and urges listeners to defend cultural and family values he believes are under attack — calling for local action and principled resistance to harmful ideologies. Expect personal anecdotes, heartfelt commentary, and a call-to-action to protect what Murray describes as the foundations of society. The episode closes on a lighter note as Murray heads out for a haircut, signing off in his familiar, conversational style.
