All Over the Place with Dara Starr Tucker

Send us a textWe're releasing this Breakdown in advance of our interview with Lori Lieberman, which is coming soon! For years, it was understood that Lori Lieberman's poem about Don McClean was the inspiration behind the iconic ballad, "Killing Me Softly." Until it wasn't. Here's the story of how the person whose writing was the foundation for this Grammy-winning song was edged out of a writing credit, and later, denied any acknowledgement of her work being the inspiration for the classic Roberta Flack hit at all.  Be sure to join the Patreon at http://www.patreon.com/darastarrtucker.

Send us a textThis Breakdown, which is also available on my YouTube channel, is a companion piece to Episode 13 with Adam Dorn. "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" was not a hit when it was released in 1969. Producer Joel Dorn warned Roberta Flack that her slow as molasses version might not go over well with the masses. And he was right -- until burgeoning director, Clint Eastwood plucked the song -- and it's singer -- from obscurity.

Send us a textAdam Dorn (Mocean Worker) got a front row seat to many of Roberta Flack's career-defining moments. As the son of Joel Dorn, producer of Roberta's first 5 albums, he had a unique vantage point into the behind-the-scenes of both her early career with his dad, and her mid-80's resurgence with his friend, producer Marcus Miller. He joined many of those later recording sessions as a "fly on the wall" production assistant. Adam is the first (but certainly not the last) special guest on the podcast! We're looking forward to introducing many more guests in the future.

I think you'll enjoy this one. www.patreon.com/darastarrtuckerwww.tiktok.com/@darastarrtuckerwww.instagram.com/daratuckerbwww.youtube.com/darastarrtuckerwww.facebook.com/darastarrtuckerSupport the showStay up to date with all things Dara Starr Tucker here:Dara Starr Tucker LinkTreeDara Starr Tucker TikTokDara Starr Tucker InstagramDara Starr Tucker YouTubeDara Starr Tucker Facebook

Send us a textOn this edition of the "I'm All Over the Place" podcast, we're doing a deep dive into the blackface images that have continued to be perpetuated in our culture. From 30 Rock to Tropic Thunder to more ethically ambiguous examples like Community and Mad Men, we examine why these images are still with us, and if they  have any place in public discourse.Learn more about my music and how you can support this channel below: https://www.linktr.ee/daratuckerbhttps://www.patreon.com/darastarrtuckerhttps://www.tiktok.com/@darastarrtucker https://www.facebook.com/darastarrtuckerhttps://www.instagram.com/daratuckerbhttps://www.twitter.com/darastarrtuckerhttps://www.darastarrtucker.comSupport the showStay up to date with all things Dara Starr Tucker here:Dara Starr Tucker LinkTreeDara Starr Tucker TikTokDara Starr Tucker InstagramDara Starr Tucker YouTubeDara Starr Tucker Facebook

Send us a textRecently, comic strip writer Scott Adams, who created the Dilbert character, made some incendiary statements about Black people. These are not the first controversial statements he's made about race, sexuality, gender or feminism. It's been his stock & trade for the better part of 15 years. But is there a greater conversation to be had around these sentiments, which he claims not to hold sincerely? Is this really just about the manipulative rantings of a wannabe social manipulator? Or do his comments speak to a deeper truth about our society at large?

Send us a textThe question of who invented Rock & Roll is one that has been debated for decades. And it may not be as easy to determine as some people believe.

Send us a textIn this episode, Dara and Greg discuss the subject of her most recent "Breakdown Video" -- the antisemitic remarks made by multiple members of the black community. What do we make of this fraught relationship? Why does antisemitism seem to be tolerated and even promoted in the Black community? Why is there such pushback when Black people attempt to discuss this subject? And why do people think you can cover the whole of human history in a 5-minute TikTok? We have questions.Want to start your own podcast?

Send us a textElvis is rightly considered the King of Cultural Appropriation by many. But what exactly is cultural appropriation? And how does it differ from simply appreciating another culture? These aren't just words and feelings that are thrown around lightly -- they have real meaning, and real implications for the people they impact. In episode 8 of the "I'm All Over the Place" podcast, we do a deep dive into this topic and explore the spectrum on which cultural appropriation exists.
