00:00:00.100 --> 00:00:02.748
Welcome to News and Grooves, april 2nd podcast.
00:00:02.748 --> 00:00:03.690
Enjoy the show.
00:00:03.690 --> 00:00:06.881
You're listening to the News and Grooves podcast.
00:00:30.452 --> 00:00:51.332
Thank you, through the dark, where the cold winds don't blow, hands so rough, cracked like the stone.
00:00:51.332 --> 00:00:56.993
The mine is deep, but it don't feel like home.
00:00:56.993 --> 00:01:13.953
Oh, the coal dust fills my lungs, bitter black on my tongue.
00:01:13.953 --> 00:01:25.393
Below the earth, where men aren't free, what's left of the light can't reach me.
00:01:25.393 --> 00:01:56.240
Every swing's a story untold, trading my youth for the promise of gold, but all I dig is sorrow and shale, chasing a dream that's grown so pale Down in the dark.
00:01:57.402 --> 00:02:18.293
I hear it groan prayed in my youth for the promise of gold, but all I did is sorrow and shale, chasing a dream that's grown so pale Down in the dark.
00:02:18.293 --> 00:02:21.314
I hear it groan.
00:02:21.314 --> 00:02:24.516
The earth, it sighs.
00:02:24.516 --> 00:02:27.117
It wants me alone.
00:02:27.117 --> 00:02:42.007
I feel its weight pressing on my soul, a cruel reminder of the life it stole.
00:02:42.007 --> 00:02:46.955
The whistles blow, but the quiet's so loud.
00:02:46.955 --> 00:02:49.626
My head is bent.
00:02:49.626 --> 00:02:52.293
I can't be proud.
00:02:52.293 --> 00:03:04.413
Each heavy foot drags me through the door To cold street babes I work for.
00:03:04.413 --> 00:03:21.171
Oh, the coal dust fills my lungs, bitter black on my tongue.
00:03:21.171 --> 00:03:33.683
Below the earth where men aren't free, what's left of the light can't reach me.
00:03:52.616 --> 00:04:06.311
The term saved by the bell is an idiom commonly used to describe people who escaped difficult situations thanks to a last-minute solution, but the lighthearted phrase actually may have a true, scary story behind it, related to a medical condition known as catalepsy.
00:04:06.311 --> 00:04:13.307
Catalepsy is a medical condition in which a patient endures an uncontrolled state of muscle rigidity and unresponsiveness.
00:04:13.307 --> 00:04:16.949
The condition is often linked to episodes of catatonia.
00:04:16.949 --> 00:04:23.485
Although the disease is widely understood now, in the past it caused sufferers to be mistakenly buried alive.
00:04:23.485 --> 00:04:31.411
After newspapers reported on these tragic endings, writers like Edgar Allan Poe built similar incidents in his own creepy stories.
00:04:32.420 --> 00:04:41.841
The frequency of catalepsy patients being mistaken for dead people led to a string of quick-fix solutions by doctors and gravekeepers, though many of these ideas created new horrors of their own.
00:04:41.841 --> 00:04:48.995
One well-intentioned yet morbid solution was the creation of waiting mortuaries In these hospitals for the dead.
00:04:48.995 --> 00:04:54.870
The bodies of suddenly catatonic patients were kept under observation for a few days to make sure they were actually dead.
00:04:54.870 --> 00:05:00.800
Waiting mortuaries were well-stocked with food, wine and cigars in the event that a patient woke up.
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:08.466
Another more gruesome solution to avoid burying those who were still alive was to perform examinations to test the deadness of the patient.
00:05:08.466 --> 00:05:14.148
People thought to be dead, had their fingers hacked off or endured smoke being literally blown up their butt.
00:05:14.148 --> 00:05:18.790
The assumption was that if the person didn't wake up, then that meant they were unequivocally dead.
00:05:18.790 --> 00:05:25.850
Otherwise, the procedure was used to revive those who were on the edge of death via tobacco's supposed restorative properties.
00:05:25.850 --> 00:05:38.072
There was only one problems with such test catalepsy prevents patients from feeling pain during their catatonic state, so employing extreme measures proved to be an ineffective method of confirming whether a person was dead or alive.
00:05:39.036 --> 00:05:43.507
True, scary stories of being buried alive also spawned the creation of safety coffins.
00:05:43.507 --> 00:05:53.605
In 18th and 19th century Europe, especially Victorian England, enough people were being mistakenly buried alive that coffin makers came up with a number of solutions.
00:05:53.605 --> 00:06:02.908
These caskets were designed with above-ground horns or bells that a person who found themselves mistakenly buried alive could ring from the inside when they woke up trapped underground.
00:06:02.908 --> 00:06:09.432
Some of these safety coffins also came equipped with a stash of poison in case the person figured out they wouldn't be saved.
00:06:09.432 --> 00:06:14.130
Other models used glass panes that would fog up if the person was still breathing.
00:06:14.130 --> 00:06:20.742
Some had tubes that gravekeepers would have to sniff each day to confirm that the body inside was actually decomposing.
00:06:20.742 --> 00:06:28.125
Other people were simply buried with the keys to their own coffin in their pocket, but the bell models were among the most pervasive.
00:06:28.125 --> 00:06:39.822
These morbid contraptions were allegedly where the phrase saved by the bell came from, according to some Exclusive original music continually featured on the News and Grooves podcast.
00:06:55.831 --> 00:07:05.338
City lights, cold nights, feeling lonely, got my heels, my dress, I'm ready.
00:07:05.338 --> 00:07:10.752
Only Whispering streets.
00:07:10.752 --> 00:07:12.899
They call our yearning.
00:07:12.899 --> 00:07:16.129
Let's go dancing, babe.
00:07:16.129 --> 00:07:24.264
Fire burning, music, loud, heartbeats, wild.
00:07:24.264 --> 00:07:38.908
Come holding Down the avenue we rush so boldly, swing and sway, lost in sounds we're making.
00:07:38.908 --> 00:07:46.093
Let's go dancing, baby.
00:07:46.093 --> 00:07:46.456
No more aching.
00:07:46.456 --> 00:07:52.252
Darkened alley shadows play deceiving.
00:07:52.252 --> 00:07:58.800
Find the rhythm in this night we're weaving.
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:01.783

00:08:01.783 --> 00:08:03.384
Twirl me faster.
00:08:03.384 --> 00:08:07.790
Keep the dream alive In your arms.
00:08:07.790 --> 00:08:13.057
Tonight we come alive.
00:08:13.057 --> 00:08:20.281
Music, loud, heartbeats, wild.

Come hold me Down the avenue.
00:08:22.526 --> 00:08:31.660
We rush so boldly, swing and sway, lost in sounds we're making.
00:08:31.660 --> 00:08:35.139
Let's go dancing, baby.
00:08:35.139 --> 00:08:39.682
No more aching.
00:08:39.682 --> 00:09:16.374
Midnight echoes through our laughter, laden In the neon glow.
00:09:16.374 --> 00:09:18.299
Our fears are fading.
00:09:18.299 --> 00:09:23.419
In the neon glow, our fears are fading.
00:09:23.419 --> 00:09:27.778
Touch the skyline, taste the freedom shining.
00:09:27.778 --> 00:09:32.339
Let's go dancing, baby.
00:09:32.339 --> 00:09:36.328
No more hiding Music, loud, heartbeats, wild.
00:09:36.328 --> 00:09:51.253
Come hold me Down the avenue we rush so boldly, swing and sway, lost in sounds we're making.
00:09:51.253 --> 00:09:54.568
Let's go dancing, baby.
00:09:54.568 --> 00:09:59.182
No more aching.
00:10:13.335 --> 00:10:14.155
Bob Dylan.
00:10:14.155 --> 00:10:28.692
This legendary American singer-songwriter and musician emerged during the folk music revival of the early 1960s, quickly becoming known for his lyrics, distinctive voice and innovative guitar playing.
00:10:28.692 --> 00:11:24.831

00:11:25.011 --> 00:11:26.072

Brother, can you spare a buck?
00:11:44.458 --> 00:11:48.028
I'm kind of down on my luck.
00:11:48.028 --> 00:11:57.552
Been walking these streets alone Busking for change just to make it home.
00:11:58.462 --> 00:12:05.311
Last night I had a dream so grand Diamonds and gold in a faraway land.
00:12:05.311 --> 00:12:09.572
Woke up to find my pockets bare.
00:12:09.572 --> 00:12:12.929
Reality's bite I couldn't bear.
00:12:12.929 --> 00:12:16.129
Brother, can you spare some time?
00:12:16.129 --> 00:12:19.989
Listen to this heart of mine.
00:12:19.989 --> 00:12:25.172
Life's been rough but I'll get through.
00:12:25.172 --> 00:12:29.270
Need a hand and maybe a clue.
00:12:31.785 --> 00:12:34.591
Sunset's slow on this lonely road.
00:12:34.591 --> 00:12:38.659
Stories untold are waiting to explode.
00:12:38.659 --> 00:12:47.178
Played my sixth string for an empty crowd Hoping for a dollar or some applause loud.
00:12:47.178 --> 00:12:51.230
My shoes have holes and my coat is thin.
00:12:51.230 --> 00:12:59.631
Winter's coming can't keep the chilling, but a smile and a buck will go so far.
00:12:59.631 --> 00:13:03.390
Light in the dark, like an open star.
00:13:03.390 --> 00:13:06.249
Brother, can you spare some change?
00:13:06.249 --> 00:13:10.210
We'll be a lot flat out of this range.
00:13:10.210 --> 00:13:32.912
Dreams ain't dead, they just need a start, hand in hand.
00:13:32.912 --> 00:13:37.916
Oh, mend this heart dark and it had old men this hard.
00:13:37.916 --> 00:13:45.440
So Sunset, slow on this, lonely road, stories untold, waiting to explode.
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:53.811

00:13:53.811 --> 00:14:02.211
Sunset, slow on this, lonely road, stories, untold, waiting to explode.

Played my sixth string for an empty crowd Hoping for a dollar or some applause loud, exclusive original music continually featured on the ground.
00:14:49.193 --> 00:15:08.809
Whiskey on the rocks, hearts, pound Boots tappin' on the wooden floor, ghosts from the past knocking at the door.
00:15:08.830 --> 00:15:22.471
May I have this dance just one more time, through the sorrow, through the ground, spinning round under the moonshine.
00:15:22.471 --> 00:15:31.148
Forget the world, just be mine.
00:15:31.148 --> 00:15:41.575
Dusty roads led me here tonight.
00:15:41.575 --> 00:15:53.471
Broken dreams under neon light your eyes, they speak words.
00:15:53.471 --> 00:15:58.164
Unspoken Hands touch tight hearts broken.
00:15:58.164 --> 00:16:19.250
May I have this dance just one more time, through the sorrow, through the grind, spinning round under the moonshine.
00:16:19.250 --> 00:16:25.634
Forget the world, just be mine.
00:16:25.634 --> 00:16:30.477
In this moment, nothing else matters.
00:16:30.477 --> 00:16:37.287
Feel the rhythm, hearts and tatters, silent whispers, secrets we share.
00:16:37.287 --> 00:16:40.345
Just one dance, lost in your stare.
00:16:40.345 --> 00:17:05.821
May I have this dance just one more time, through the sorrow, through the grind, spinning round under the moonshine, the world, yeah.

Why did the scarecrow win an award?
00:17:54.117 --> 00:17:57.118
Because he was outstanding in his field.
00:17:57.118 --> 00:18:02.828
Because he was outstanding in his field.
00:18:02.828 --> 00:18:07.119
How does a penguin build its house?
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:11.698
It glues it together.
00:18:11.698 --> 00:18:14.623
Why did the math book look sad?
00:18:18.010 --> 00:18:19.232
Because it had too many problems.
00:18:22.739 --> 00:18:26.684

It had great food but no atmosphere.
00:18:59.044 --> 00:19:06.294
Restaurant to open on the moon it had great food but no atmosphere.
00:19:06.294 --> 00:19:08.137
A man walks into a library and asks the librarian for books.
00:19:08.137 --> 00:19:08.499
About paranoia?
00:19:08.499 --> 00:19:10.482

Great Grandpa rode a horse Through battles, fierce and wild.
00:19:56.845 --> 00:20:06.134
He carried stars and stripes, a testament to pride, on fields of green and gray.
00:20:06.134 --> 00:20:15.306
He gave it all he had for the promise of tomorrow and dreams he never had.
00:20:15.306 --> 00:20:27.810
He never had.
00:20:27.810 --> 00:20:32.980
Grandpa was a farmer, wore his uniform with grace, he left behind the cornfields to fight in a distant place With letters home to grandma.
00:20:32.980 --> 00:20:47.371
He spoke of love and war, of love and war.
00:20:47.371 --> 00:20:48.771
She found his way back home, but was not the man before.
00:20:48.811 --> 00:20:55.179
Four generations fought for the red, the white and blue of heart and soul and so much more, the things they had to do.

He came back home a hero, but pieces of him lost.
00:21:33.644 --> 00:21:37.317
For freedom's price is mighty high.
00:21:37.317 --> 00:21:39.903
Who could count the cost?
00:21:39.903 --> 00:21:51.417
