Alternative Milestones

Alternative Milestones Episode 73 – Happy Juneteenth!

Thu, Jun 19, 2025

This is a show about celebrating the past and today we celebrate Juneteenth, recognizing the emancipation of all formerly enslaved peoples after the end of the Civil War.  As one who is interested in history, I know how important the accuracy of the story is; for maintaining the lessons that are hopefully learned so that the mis-steps in our past are not repeated, and for seeing how far we have yet to go to be where we should be.

We don’t have nearly as many milestone birthdays this week, but there are a few including Rivers Cuomo, Sevendials, The Boomtown Rats and Royal Blood.  There’s an in memoriam track from Soul Asylum.

Alanis Morissette, Green Day and Saint Etienne all have double milestones this week.  And l’ll have lots of music release milestones to hopefully stir some happy memories.

Every Thursday at 1 you know what to do…
