Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On isn’t just an album — it’s a 35-minute sermon on war, poverty, racism, pollution, drugs, and everything else humanity insists on screwing up. In this episode, I go track by track: from the deceptively smooth party vibes of the title cut, to the gut-punch prophecy of Mercy Mercy Me, to the bongos that fade us out on Inner City Blues. Along the way, we’ll talk validation, addiction, god, and why protest music never sounded this silky again.
So grab a stiff drink, put on your headphones, and join me as we break down one of the heaviest — and most beautiful — records ever made. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe so you don’t miss the next one.
