From all corners of the world, people are blasting MJ tunes, inspired and moved by his music. When you think about it, what else unifies people like music? What else makes such a profound impact on the way we think and feel? Tonight's "Nova: Musical Minds" explores music's ability to heal the body and mind. http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/505/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/505/rss Tue, 30 Jun 09 09:17:00 -0700 The annual televised event, broadcast live from the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol, has been going strong for 20 years.

From "Dance in America" to "Great Performances," we'd take our front-row seats and immerse ourselves completely. It was time away from the mundane - and time well spent together. This month, we're in full swing with our arts programming. Tonight at 8, we stir up the holiday spirit with the uplifting new program "Celtic Woman: The Greatest Journey: Holiday Special."

It was Sunday afternoon and I was searching the radio to find Kasey Casem's Weekly Top 40. And we heard the news. Marvin Gaye had been shot. By his father. http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/217/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/217/rss Tue, 06 May 08 11:54:00 -0700 Guess what, Generation Xers? You may still bounce like a human pogo stick at the first few bars of "Rock the Casbah," but that doesn't mean that you're not ... you know. [whispered] Getting up there in years.Know how you can tell? PBS - that haven of nostalgia come pledge time - is not just wooing us with Doo Wop, the Osmonds and John Denver. This season's most surprising retro pledge concert comes from the British punk gods dubbed "The Only Band That Matters" - The Clash. http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/192/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/192/rss Tue, 04 Mar 08 14:05:00 -0700 Ryan Stringfellow talks about community radio station KAFM and its strong volunteer base. http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/184/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/184/rss Wed, 20 Feb 08 08:30:00 -0700 Despite my longtime insistence that artists owe us nothing outside their art, I was woefully disappointed to see Bob Dylan shilling Cadillac SUVs . Maybe I shouldn't be surprised. It's never been easy to predict what Bob will do next. Still, it's odd that a pioneer of counterculture with so many odes to the exploited would casually sell his image to the makers of an opulent gas guzzling machine (or Victoria's Secret, for that matter). http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/149/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/149/rss Tue, 04 Dec 07 10:45:00 -0700
