By the Time I Walk to Woodstock
Just couldn’t let the summer end without a tip of my Freak Flag to C, S, N, and sometimes Y, whose rocking version of Joni Mitchell’s anthem Woodstock, in honor of that memorable event’s 40th anniversary. In addition, this week’s wog features classics like Long Time Gone, Helpless, and Immigration Man. The vibe is mellow, so leave your track shoes at home. At Podwogging.com.

REGIME CHANGE
If you’re like me, this election is shaping up to be one of the most significant changes in my lifetime. Not since forever has a presidential candidate actually spoken to pressing needs, with such panache and vision. So go out and vote for Ralph Nader!
Kidding.
Seriously, assuming the right wing vampires don’t suck the blood out of every American voter, the Big O will take office in January with a huge mandate. A mandate that’s been years in the making, and has been celebrated in song since the early days of Dylan. As befits such a marathon, this week’s Wog, Regime Change, is a Wog-a-Thon*. It’s 78 minutes of songs from such sources as Crosby, Stills & Nash, Midnight Oil, Tracy Chapman, and Bob Marley. A few lesser-knowns also get into the act: Pearls Before Swine, Hothouse Flowers. Even Steve Miller (yes, that Steve Miller). Not to mention Stevie Wonder, the Animals, the Stones, U2, Rush, Karan Casey, and that old anti-war chestnut (unh!) by Edwin Starr. So what are you waiting for? Raise your fist and give Change a Shout-out on your way to the polls tomorrow.
Check it out at Podwogging.com.
*A Wog-a-Thon is split into “sub-thons,” shorter sequences if you don’t want to do the whole thing at once. Alternatively, you can skip songs in the sequence, since the pace pattern always follows a slow-medium-fast-medium-slow-medium-fast-medium, etc. pattern.

And a one, and a two, and...
New Weekly Wog: Starting with U2’s One and finishing with CCR’s Ninety-Nine and a Half, this week’s wog is one you can count on for a 47-minute vigorous workout. This one’s a mix of popsters from the 60s & 70s (Beatles, Crosby Stills & Nash, the Vogues, Creedence, Keith, Alan Parsons) and more recent fare (U2, Wallflowers, Echo & the Bunnymen, Guster, Bloc Party, School of Fish). It has two solid jogging chunks, one near the start and one near the end, and a nice relaxed middle. If you want to be in that Nümber, check it out at Podwogging.com!
