Blackbird9’s Breakfast Club Revisited, April 28, 2024

April 29, 2024

The second half of –Blackbird9’s Breakfast Club– “Maccabee Life Between The Wars” (original air date-November 29, 2017)



We examine the history and meta-history around the 1995 musical “concept album” BETWEEN THE WARS  by Al Stewart and Laurence Juber.  This body of work consists of 13 songs written to showcase key historical events and figures of the years between World War I (1914-1918) and World War II (1939-1945) as seen by these two artists.   Taken in context of the release date in the run-up to 9-11, the obvious zio-bias can perhaps be better understood when one discovers Laurence Juber’s father-in-law is none other than Hollywood TalmudVision Producer  Sherwood Schwartz who was the creator of Gilligan’s Island and The Brady Bunch.
