(<a href=\"https:\/\/ofarevolution\">@OfARevolution<\/a>). Together, with his bandmates and childhood friends from Rockville, Maryland, Marc has built one of the most successful bands of the last two decades. O.A.R is successful because of the concerts they\u2019ve sold out and the hits they written like <em>Shattered (Turn the Car Around)<\/em> and <em>That Was A Crazy Game of Poker<\/em>. But more importantly, they\u2019ve been successful because of the impact they\u2019ve made. From veterans coming home with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), to kids with cancer, to music programs in schools, to Habitat for Humanity, to the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2015_Special_Olympics_World_Summer_Games\">Special Olympics<\/a>, O.A.R has been a trailblazer in making music matter. If you know their songs, you know why they\u2019re great. If you don\u2019t, you\u2019ll quickly realize that you know more of their music than you thought. And you\u2019ll find out why they\u2019re important, iconic and inspiring.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an uplifting and insightful conversation that takes you deep inside the world of music, and the story of a local high school band that went all the way to selling out Madison Square Garden and Red Rocks. If you love music, this is an episode that\u2019s in your key.<\/p>\n<p>But the music of politics in America right now, unfortunately, is not an OAR song. It\u2019s Eric Clapton\u2019s <em>Tears in Heaven<\/em>. Or it\u2019s a tragic opera. It\u2019s a gut-wrenching aria. It\u2019s Puccini\u2019s <em>La Bohem.<\/em> And host Paul Rieckhoff (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/paulrieckhoff\">@PaulRieckhoff<\/a>) artfully takes <a href=\"https:\/\/angryamericans.us\"><em>Angry Americans<\/em><\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/angryamericans\">@AngryAmericans<\/a>) deep inside where music and politics collide and through the urgent stories you need to know about.<\/p>\n<p>And after 4 weeks, General Motors workers are still on strike. Impeachment is gaining steam. Our President sold-out the Kurds, leaving them to be slaughtered by the Turks&#8211;who have now crossed the border into Northern Syria. There\u2019s a new scandal at the Department of Veterans Affairs. The Minnesota Twins collapsed in the playoffs yet again. The Jets, Bengals and Dolphins haven\u2019t won a game. And Paul got a butt-dial from Rudy Guiliani. Yes, really!\u00a0As we creep closer and closer to Halloween, October is looking scarier and scarier by the day. But don\u2019t fret. Paul takes you through all of it, with his trademark independence. And the 4 I\u2019s: Integrity, Information, Impact and Inspiration.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not angry, you\u2019re not paying attention.
