Radio WTAF – NO KINGS! Special

Ariel Baddass on the air and taking your requests

October 17, 2025

Paying Attention™ DJ Ariel Baddass convinced management to add a request/dedication line for folks to hear what they want, when they want it, and send it on out there to someone special if they so desire.

Hey boys and girls, cats and kitties, all the ships and clippers at sea. This is Ariel B spinning platters of various sizes, though we always defer to vinyl whenever possible. Just to remind you, I was asked to leave my last gig after my tribute to the great Joey Reynolds. As Joey did on his last day at WIBG in Philly back in the early ‘70s, I locked myself in the booth and played John Lennon’s Give Peace a Chance for an hour or so, until they brought in a locksmith and a very large gentleman to help me to my car.

Had to jump on today to share some tunes ahead of tomorrow’s NO FUCKING KINGS! rallies all across this suffering land of ours. I’m not taking requests for a change, but I’m pretty sure you’ll be happy with the team’s picks. We hope you’re planning to get out there tomorrow and show up for democracy. Show Dementia Don and his malignant, mental-midget minions that we’re as mad as hell and we’re not going to take this anymore.

But first, to get in the mood, tune in to some tunes…

Steppenwolf – Power Play

John Lennon – Power to The People

Jefferson Airplane – Volunteers

Buffalo Springfield – For What It's Worth 1967

The Temptations - Ball Of Confusion (Live)

Billy Bragg and Wilco – All you Fascists

Rage Against The Machine - Killing In the Name

The Fixx – One Thing Leads To Another

Send us your requests and dedications and we’ll get ‘em on the air next time.
