bandmates observe the declining state of the world. \n\nIn an online poll of 2,000 music fans to find the most commonly misheard pop lyrics, a line from this song came top of the list. The offending lyric is: \"You make the best of what's still around.\" Fans regularly mishear it as: \"You make the best homemade stew around.\"\n\n\"I swear I had my tongue firmly in my cheek when I composed this misanthropic, postapocalyptic vision,\" Sting wrote in Lyrics By Sting. \"I imagined a solitary future eking out my days with canned food, a VCR, and old tapes of James Brown and Otis Redding. How many of us have these Robinson Crusoe fantasies of surviving some sort of holocaust? Whereas our survival can only be a collective effort.\"\n\nThe second line references \"James Brown on The T.A.M.I. Show.\" The T.A.M.I. Show was a 1964 concert film that featured performances by popular acts like James Brown, Marvin Gaye, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys and The Supremes, among others. The acronym stands for \"Teenage Awards Music International\" or \"Teen Age Music International.\" https://tinyurl.com/yjw769xz", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3561724, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3561724/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-10-05T17:48:30-07:00", "show": 64755, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64755/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "comment": "", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "airbreak" }, { "id": 3561723, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3561723/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-10-05T17:45:46-07:00", "show": 64755, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64755/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://ia800505.us.archive.org/12/items/mbid-3e517042-0af2-45b0-bdbb-aae20ae1bec8/mbid-3e517042-0af2-45b0-bdbb-aae20ae1bec8-15170398619_thumb500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://ia600505.us.archive.org/12/items/mbid-3e517042-0af2-45b0-bdbb-aae20ae1bec8/mbid-3e517042-0af2-45b0-bdbb-aae20ae1bec8-15170398619_thumb250.jpg", "song": "Everyday People", "track_id": "a4e07a18-05b1-47d3-b5fd-d7d611642bb4", "recording_id": "4fe59a92-33bf-4571-8c8f-16358dc7e8b6", "artist": "Sly & the Family Stone", "artist_ids": [ "b7ec4c54-1f93-4bf2-957f-7b9921ab84ea" ], "album": "Stand!", "release_id": "0425074d-a3e9-4b4c-ba0e-de34f15384a9", "release_group_id": "86871123-60e4-30a5-aae3-36e810e0964b", "labels": [ "Epic" ], "label_ids": [ "8f638ddb-131a-4cc3-b3d4-7ebdac201b55" ], "release_date": "1969-04-01", "rotation_status": "Library", "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "#635 on KEXP Listener's Favorite Albums of All-time Countdown\n\nWelcome to KEXP's Fall Fundraising Drive!!!\n\nWritten and produced by lead singer and multi-instrumentalist Sly Stone, Stand! is considered an artistic high-point of the band's career.

Paul is deeply confused and unsatisfied, but he doesn't know why. He just knows that something is missing. It is also about the \"American Dream\" - the guarantee that you will make it if you stumble upon this country. That is why they are coming to America.\n\nThe song is a great example of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel singing in unison, which was a hallmark of their sound. Garfunkel is especially fond of the section where they sing, \"And walked off to look for America.\" https://tinyurl.com/2czfave6", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" } ] }
