Episode 4 - Flags and Myths
from Blues Progressions Hosted by Karl Sorochinski
The same five Southern Rock songs play on every classic rock station, forever — but somebody chose them, and somebody froze this music in place. What got frozen along with it — the flags, the myths, the arguments — is the hardest, most honest episode in the series. And the host doesn’t dodge any of it, including his own history with the flag.

What this episode covers
The hardest episode we’ve made. How “classic rock” radio froze Southern Rock into a postcard — and what got frozen with it: the flags, the myths, the arguments. No dodging, including my own history with the flag. Landing place: Southern Rock is about the music, not the symbols. Can you love a piece of art and still be honest about the baggage it carries? (Go listen to Southern Rock Opera.)
