Tune in at 12am, November 24th, and hear the Gypsy Scholar present his annual “Un-Thanksgiving Day” Orphic Essay-with-Soundtrack that anticipates the upcoming American federal holiday of Thanksgiving, but will present an alternative kind of Thanksgiving Day program that will serve to deconstruct the national origin story or myth of America by examining the historical facts about the Pilgrims and the “First Thanksgiving.” The program will also present the Native American perspective on Thanksgiving Day as a “Day of Mourning” and will instead honor Native American Heritage Month (November) and Day (November 28) as the true holiday at this time.
Be sure to check out the fantabulous “Un-Thanksgiving” webpage that is dedicated to this musical essay, which is loaded with images, memes, and supplemental information concerning the people, places and things discussed in the musical essay–so listeners can literally “see what I mean (or meme).” It is accessed on the Tower of Song website at revradiotowerofsong.com
