Prince recruited Johnson (real name Garry George Johnson), who was self-taught on drums and guitar, in 1981 for The Time, an act born out of the city’s Flyte Tyme. They’d known each other since their high school years in Minneapolis.\n\n\"The drums are physical and violent for me while the guitar is spiritual and emotional,\" Johnson said in a 2018 interview with Australian Musician. He also quipped to the publication, \"When you live here in the cold, you stay in [in] the winter time and you learn how to play.\"\n\nAs a member of The Time — and later, Prince’s The Family — Johnson helped establish the funk-rock, new wave and synth-pop hybrid that became known as the Minneapolis Sound. He appeared as a fictionalized version of himself in 1984’s Academy Award-winning Purple Rain and as himself in 1990’s Graffiti Bridge. Johnson co-founded the non-profit Minneapolis Sound Museum in 2021, with the goal of preserving the history, culture and legacy of the Minneapolis Sound. In 2022, he was awarded a Soul Train Lifetime Achievement Award with The Time. https://tinyurl.com/3rac4mdv","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"},{"id":3609027,"uri":"https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3609027/?format=json","airdate":"2026-01-25T15:59:01-08:00","show":65753,"show_uri":"https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65753/?format=json","image_uri":"","thumbnail_uri":"","song":"Fight The Power","track_id":null,"recording_id":null,"artist":"The Isley Brothers","artist_ids":[],"album":null,"release_id":null,"release_group_id":null,"labels":[],"label_ids":[],"release_date":null,"rotation_status":null,"is_local":false,"is_request":false,"is_live":false,"comment":"The song was sparked in a 1975 recording session in which guitarist Ernie Isley, inspired by the news, wrote two songs: \"Fight the Power\" and an anti-poverty ballad titled \"Harvest for the World.\"  The group ended up recording both songs on the same day and eventually picked \"Fight the Power\" as the song to release first. \"Harvest\" would be featured on the album of the same name and would be released as the first single off that album.\n\n\"Fight the Power\" was written almost fully by Ernie Isley with additional instrumental background composition by the band's keyboardist Chris Jasper. After playing the track on his guitar to his older brother Ronnie, he recorded a multi-track lead vocal, arranged by Jasper and Ernie. Ernie later said he was taken aback that Ron had uttered \"bullshit\". When asked why he used the word, Ron simply replied, \"because it needed to be said\" and \"it's what people want to hear.\"\n\nThe song reflected a negative opinion of authority figures, a feeling shared by all the band members; this can explain Ron Isley's intensified vocalizing. As was with the majority of their recordings during the so-called 3+3 era, Ernie Isley and Chris Jasper had to share composition and lyrical credit with the other Isley members. https://tinyurl.com/ydvv3eha","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"},{"id":3609026,"uri":"https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3609026/?format=json","airdate":"2026-01-25T15:55:34-08:00","show":65753,"show_uri":"https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65753/?format=json","image_uri":"","thumbnail_uri":"","comment":"","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"airbreak"},{"id":3609025,"uri":"https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3609025/?format=json","airdate":"2026-01-25T15:51:51-08:00","show":65753,"show_uri":"https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65753/?format=json","image_uri":"https://dn721905.ca.archive.org/0/items/mbid-e2744bc4-5c6b-4298-b9c1-2406bb8d2a99/mbid-e2744bc4-5c6b-4298-b9c1-2406bb8d2a99-30281352491_thumb500.jpg","thumbnail_uri":"https://ia902303.us.archive.org/3/items/mbid-e2744bc4-5c6b-4298-b9c1-2406bb8d2a99/mbid-e2744bc4-5c6b-4298-b9c1-2406bb8d2a99-30281352491_thumb250.jpg","song":"Days Like These","track_id":"723fdd9e-082e-4bd5-bc45-72460b881ae6","recording_id":"ae6a4e1f-4ed5-41b9-b03b-5fea17027557","artist":"Low","artist_ids":["42faad37-8aaa-42e4-a300-5a7dae79ed24"],"album":"HEY WHAT","release_id":"e2744bc4-5c6b-4298-b9c1-2406bb8d2a99","release_group_id":"b835ce22-736e-4338-8a88-f558daa84d60","labels":["Sub Pop Records"],"label_ids":["38dc88de-7720-4100-9d5b-3cdc41b0c474"],"release_date":"2021-09-10","rotation_status":"Library","is_local":false,"is_request":false,"is_live":false,"comment":"Beautiful 2021 track from Duluth's Low.
