Although it never commanded a high chart position, the song became a well-recognized anthem, and was rerecorded by many artists, including John Lennon, Percy Sledge, Cher, Joe Cocker and UB40.\n\nCliff’s other great claim to fame was his portrayal of Ivan in Perry Henzell’s groundbreaking 1972 feature film, \"The Harder They Come,\" which brought aspects of his own story into cinematic focus through improvised dialogue based on his life experiences.\n--\nHere's a 2005 live performance of this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iui0NWtb2Ls","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"},{"id":3592685,"uri":"https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3592685/?format=json","airdate":"2025-12-18T12:57:10-08:00","show":65410,"show_uri":"https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65410/?format=json","image_uri":"https://ia902307.us.archive.org/5/items/mbid-19250e68-804e-4a33-838c-0ced4de40f1b/mbid-19250e68-804e-4a33-838c-0ced4de40f1b-30392157702_thumb500.jpg","thumbnail_uri":"https://ia902307.us.archive.org/5/items/mbid-19250e68-804e-4a33-838c-0ced4de40f1b/mbid-19250e68-804e-4a33-838c-0ced4de40f1b-30392157702_thumb250.jpg","song":"Rip Her to Shreds","track_id":"6b76b52e-3547-3787-aa5a-e34c47c68e1d","recording_id":"30118cb1-7a24-4c0e-ae86-b73917559c76","artist":"Blondie","artist_ids":["4d2956d1-a3f7-44bb-9a41-67563e1a0c94"],"album":"Greatest Hits: Sound & Vision","release_id":"4ac6b8e5-9516-4eaf-b5d0-9059a4aa5046","release_group_id":"f5de9949-4335-37da-9d51-9076692e98a0","labels":["Capitol Records"],"label_ids":["abea2d3e-eabf-4480-ab24-9382dd642c73"],"release_date":"2006-03-07","rotation_status":null,"is_local":false,"is_request":false,"is_live":false,"comment":"Clem Burke's career was defined by his dynamic energy, intricate drumming, and innovative contributions to the sound of Blondie, the groundbreaking New York-based band that fused punk, new wave, disco, and pop.

Reiner tragically passed alongside his wife this past weekend in Los Angeles. \n\nReiner initially rose to prominence for his acting, most notably in the 1970s as Archie Bunker’s bleeding-heart son-in-law Michael “Meathead” Stivic in All in the Family. But in the 1908s Reiner emerged as a skillful and versatile director to boot, first with his 1984 mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap, and then with a string of other beloved films across myriad genres: from the 1986 coming-of-age film Stand by Me to the 1987 family classic The Princess Bride, the genre-defining 1989 romcom When Harry Met Sally to the 1992 legal drama A Few Good Men.\n\nLike his late father, the comedy writer, actor and director Carl Reiner, the young Reiner was an outspoken political activist and staunch critic of US President Donald Trump; alongside his career in show business he advocated for a variety of progressive causes, including gay marriage, for which he cofounded the marriage equality group American Foundation for Equal Rights in 2009.\n\nhttps://www.thejc.com/news/obituaries/obituary-rob-reiner-azmipfa8","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"},{"id":3592680,"uri":"https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3592680/?format=json","airdate":"2025-12-18T12:39:16-08:00","show":65410,"show_uri":"https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65410/?format=json","image_uri":"","thumbnail_uri":"","comment":"","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"airbreak"},{"id":3592678,"uri":"https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3592678/?format=json","airdate":"2025-12-18T12:33:12-08:00","show":65410,"show_uri":"https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65410/?format=json","image_uri":"","thumbnail_uri":"","song":"Kowalski","track_id":"33fa1342-188c-3be2-8ee2-6f75b46f2424","recording_id":"818bb4c3-caf6-4485-b5ce-5f595169bd3e","artist":"Primal Scream","artist_ids":["55704c38-224f-4b75-b29f-d43653f8bc9a"],"album":"Vanishing Point","release_id":"0027e488-b435-4094-96e8-95aa3a4507ac","release_group_id":"ed585ebf-919f-3a78-a985-c261f67b0aa4","labels":["Reprise Records"],"label_ids":["af6d6f49-2b4d-40fe-86d4-241906772b59"],"release_date":"1997-07-01","rotation_status":null,"is_local":false,"is_request":false,"is_live":false,"comment":"Following the initial breakup of The Stone Roses in 1996, he joined the Scottish rock band Primal Scream as their full-time bassist.  \nHe claimed that Primal Scream were one of three other bands that he would be willing to join; the Jesus and Mary Chain and Oasis being the others.\n\n\"Kowalski\" was co-written by Mani.
