Revolver at 50; Canada's history of segregated healthcare; Frog march firings; Penny Lang
Revolver at 50: Fifty years ago this week, the Beatles dropped their landmark album, Revolver. Along with other classics like the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds and Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde, it made 1966 a revolutionary year which unlocked the potential for pop music as an art form. Scott Freiman, the founder of the popular Deconstructing the Beatles lecture series, talks about the making of Revolver, the peculiar creative alchemy and studio tomfoolery practised by John, Paul, George and Ringo and producer George Martin and a transformational year in music. The story of a separate and unequal Canadian health care system: The history of so-called "Indian hospitals" that operated in Canada through the 1970s is little known to most Canadians. It was a racially segregated, parallel health care system that kept Aboriginal Canadians out of mainstream Canadian hospitals; some former patients say they were the victims of abuse and medical experimentation. Brock University professor Maureen Lux's new book "Separate Beds: A History of Indian Hospitals in Canada, 1920s-1980s," looks at this dark chapter in Canadian health care policy. How the workplace "frog march" harms everybody - A Talin Vartanian documentary: Employers first used "the frog march" to fire people with access to sensitive information. These days, it seems to be standard operating procedure. A phone call summons the employee to an unexpected meeting; they're given the bad news, then marched out. The ripple effect is huge on both terminated employees and their colleagues. Talin's documentary, which originally aired in January, is called "Can Someone Get Her Coat?" The hard, sweet life of Penny Lang: The beloved Canadian folk singer-songwriter died this past week at 74. We'll remember Penny Lang and her legacy with one of her signature songs. Plus, music from Henry Heillig, the Beatles, the Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, Sagapool, Daniel Janke, Shauna Rolston, John Scofield, Penguin Cafe Orchestra and Felix Mendelssohn.
