Michael Cragg's devotion to all things Kylie once led him to Melbourne in search of the actual carousel horse she rode in a pop video. He got a tattoo a day later. Can't Get You Out Of My Head is a funny and fondly detailed personal account of the risk-taking variety of her records, the mystery of her private life and the irresistible nature of her appeal, a girl who, were there a war on, would be painted on the tail fins of aircraft. He looks back here at … … her ‘90s reinvention by association – with Nick Cave, Michael Hutchence and Bobby Gillespie … how records about joy never get enough credit … wrestling back control after life with Stock Aitken & Waterman … the root of her appeal as a gay icon ... being vilified by the press for any public pronouncement … a capacity to charm her detractors when she meets them … reciting I Should Be So Lucky at the Poetry Olympics alongside Patti Smith and Allen Ginsberg … a mixture of the ordinary and the exotic and the ‘Carry On' sexuality of her videos … only Queen Elizabeth 11 has had more waxworks at Madame Tussauds … and Michael's meeting with her – “I'm six foot eight, she's five foot one” - and the resulting photo.

"We Were Made For These Times" It's been 40 years since the Grammy-Award winning band the Klezmatics formed in the East Villag. In the same way the Pogues fused Irish folk with punk rock, the New York klezmer outfit have grafted centuries-old Yiddish music with iterations of contemporary music including jazz, gospel, punk, classical, Latin, and Balkan styles. With nearly twenty albums under their musical belts, including Rhythm and Jews, Jews With Horns, Letters to Afar and their wonderful new one, We Were Made For These Times, the Klezmatics remain one of the most spellbindingly singular bands on the planet. Over the course of their career they've collaborated with Arlo Guthrie, Allen Ginsberg and Itzhak Perlman, played shows in over twenty different countries, performed on PBS' Great Performances, recorded a live CD at New York City's Town Hall and snared a Critics Award as well as a New York Jewish Music Award. Their music has appeared everywhere from Sex and the City to Late Night With David Letterman and their new album continues to add to their winning legacy. A stirring, inspiring and soulful offering that, in the band's words is, "rooted in protest, hope, and resilience, We Were Made For These Times pairs Black gospel, Latin American, and avant-jazz voices with Yiddish folk and the results are joyful, life-affirming and brimming with optimism. The L.A. born vocalist, accordionist, pianist, guitarist Lorin Sklamberg is a lovely guy and this is a great chat. www.klezmatics.com (http://www.klezmatics.com) www.bombshellradio.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Threads + BLUESKY + IG: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagzine.com

Welcome back to Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions with Jason P. Woodbury. There are certain artists who straddle the line between music and prose, between songwriting and music writing. Think of Ira Kaplan from Yo La Tengo, who spent his early years as a rock journalist, or the doomed Peter Laughner, or even Lester Bangs, who cranked out a couple of raucous singles on Ork Records in addition to his pioneering criticism.  Then there are the patron saints of this dual discipline: Patti Smith and today's guest, her longtime collaborator Lenny Kaye. Kaye's creative output is kaleidoscopic: he's a founding member of the Patti Smith Group, bringing his slashing guitar style to classic records like Horses; he curated the legendary rock & roll compilation Nuggets: Original Artyfacts of the First Psychedelic Era; he's produced records for artists like Jessi Colter, Allen Ginsberg, and Suzanne Vega; and he's written a number of books, including one about Waylon Jennings, Waylon: An Autobiography, and Lightning Striking: Ten Transformative Moments in Rock and Roll – An Insider's Exploration of the Crossroads That Shaped Music.  Lenny is with us today to discuss Goin' Local, his first proper solo album, out July 17 on Yep Roc Records. Cut with his longtime bandmate Tony Shanahan and featuring Lenny's longtime creative partner Patti Smith, Goin' Local brings a little country & western, a little garage rock, a little folk, and lots of psychedelic energy to the table. Kaye joined us to discuss the new record, his roots in science fiction fandom, getting mystical with Jessi Colter, the queen of outlaw country, and the time your humble host asked Lenny if he could sample one of his songs. Lightning is striking—it's time for Lenny Kaye on Transmissions. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

With special guest Longinus the boys review a Troegs Graffiti Highway Mosaic IPA and take a deep dive into Jack Kerouac's On the Road, one of the defining novels of the Beat Generation.We talk through the plot, the major characters like Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty, and the larger ideas behind Kerouac's world: freedom, authenticity, rebellion, conformity, jazz, the open road, and the moral chaos that often comes with living for pure experience. Along the way, we explore the relationship between the Beat movement and the later hippie movement, Kerouac's writing style, the role of bebop jazz, the rise of the American highway culture, and whether On the Road is really a novel, a travelogue, or something in between.If you've ever wondered why On the Road became such an important American book—or what the Beat Generation was actually searching for—this conversation is for you.In this episode:* Troegs Graffiti Highway single-hop Mosaic IPA review* A summary and discussion of Jack Kerouac's On the Road* Who Dean Moriarty was and why he matters* The meaning of the Beat Generation* Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, and the Beat ethos* Freedom, spontaneity, authenticity, and the rejection of conformity* The connection between Beat culture, hippies, Ken Kesey, and the Merry Pranksters* Jazz, highways, postwar America, and the romance of the road* Why On the Road is both exhilarating and morally unsettlingIf you enjoy conversations about books, literature, culture, philosophy, religion, history, and beer, subscribe and join us for more episodes of Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill.#JackKerouac #OnTheRoad #BeatGeneration #BeerAndConversation #BookDiscussion #AmericanLiterature #Beatniks #AllenGinsberg #WilliamSBurroughs #KenKesey #LiteraryPodcast #BookTube #ClassicLiterature #PigweedAndCrowhill

In this episode of Reading Is Funktamental, we head back in time to discuss a true classic of jazz and jazz journalism. The fascinating life and legacy of the great jazz artist Rahsaan Roland Kirk, with John Kruth, the author of this first and most complete biography, Bright Moments: The Life and Legacy of Rahsaan Roland Kirk (2000).Bright Moments is the story of a truly neglected genius who eclipsed jazz itself. Rahsaan Roland Kirk was a one-of-a-kind musician and human being. As some of you may know, Rahsaan played two or three saxophones at a time and developed a unique breathing system, which some call circular breathing or spherical breathing, one that allowed him to play continuous, nonstop solos that mesmerized audiences everywhere. He was also fantastic on the clarinet and flute (with a breathy, vocalized technique that enormously influenced Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson).A blind musician, Kirk played the history of jazz, or what he called “black classical music,” from the roots to the fruits, recorded over 35 records, and extensive tours. In this wonderful biography, Kruth interviewed his peers, friends, band members, widow, and doctor. They include Quincy Jones, Sonny Rollins, Grover Washington, Ken Kesey, Allen Ginsberg, Eric Burdon, and Ian Anderson, to name a few. Find out why Rahsaan was called by Jimi Hendrix his “favorite musician”"Reading is Funktamental" is a monthly one-hour podcast and radio show about great books written about music and music-makers.

Negli Stati Uniti ricchi e apparentemente felici del secondo dopoguerra si leva improvvisa la voce dei giovani. La Beat Generation mette a nudo il vuoto morale e spirituale nascosto dietro il consumismo e i valori borghesi: noia, ipocrisia, repressione sessuale, paura del diverso, ossessione del successo. Con Urlo, recitata pubblicamente nel 1955, il poeta Allen Ginsberg denuncia una società che distrugge le menti migliori della sua generazione. Seguirono poi gli hippie a San Francisco e la protesta politica organizzata degli anni Sessanta, con le marce contro la guerra in Vietnam o il movimento per i diritti civili. In quegli anni i giovani si ribellano ai padri e alle madri proponendo una diversa idea di famiglia e società; si distinguono dagli adulti per lo stile di vita, i valori, persino l'abbigliamento. Oggi quella ribellione sembra assente o forse prende forme diverse, spesso nascoste, come testimoniano l'attivista Zeno Casella e lo scrittore Matteo Bussola, che da tempo ascolta le voci di questi giovani nel suo programma alla radio. Le nuove generazioni contestano il lavoro che divora la vita, il consumo come identità, la carriera come unica misura del valore, la famiglia come obbligo, il silenzio sulla sofferenza mentale, l'indifferenza verso il clima. I social infine hanno creato un nuovo spazio di presenza e di espressione, come emerge dagli studi di Eleonora Benecchi.

Political activist Abbie Hoffman, speaking at the Jack Kerouac Festival in 1982, said that the social movements of the 1960s would not have happened without the cultural revolution of the 1950s. Poet Allen Ginsberg was the spokesman for the Beat Generation literary movement, and a powerful voice for civil rights, free speech, and the peace movement, his entire life. Ginsberg and Kagyu Tibetan lineage holder, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, founded Naropa Institute – now University in Boulder, Colorado. Allen's Buddhist meditation practice and poetics entailed keen observations of the ordinary. We've gone into the AR Archive, and recordings from a few musical performances in celebration of his one-hundredth birthday.

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast we've got a couple of old friends who are both multi-hyphenates: film directors, actors, writers, musicians, and perhaps most importantly, opinionated rabble-rousers who've spent decades pushing at the edges of culture—especially sexual politics—and gleefully widening its scope. It's John Cameron Mitchell and Sook-Yin Lee. Mitchell is perhaps best known for co-writing and starring in Hedwig and the Angry Inch, the late-'90s stage musical that became a cult-classic movie. It was the beginning of a career that has championed queerness and otherness, pushing those things into a mainstream that has sometimes been welcoming, but most times not so much. He followed Hedwig with Shortbus, whose frank depictions of sexuality were probably a little too intense for wider audiences. Mitchell has also done really interesting work as an actor in other people's projects, including playing Tiger King Joe Exotic in a miniseries not too long ago. As you'll hear in this chat, he's working on a project about Alan Ginsberg in 1968, a time that should be more distant than it feels like at the moment. Mitchell is heading out on a Hedwig anniversary tour that will include screenings of the film plus live performance and conversation; check out hedwig25.com for info. The other half of today's chat, Sook-Yin Lee, met Mitchell way back when, as you'll hear, when she auditioned for him—sort of. She had roles in both Hedwig and Shortbus, but has also lived other lives as a TV presenter in Canada and a prolific film director. For the past couple of years she's taken her latest film, Paying For It, straight to audiences along with her friend Chester Brown, whose graphic novel is the film's basis. It's a comedy about a couple that opens their relationship, and one of them decides to experiment by paying for sex. You can stream it most anywhere now, but that's not all Lee has been up to: She just released a new album of catchy, skewed electro-pop called 72RHR. Check out the song “A Hollow” right here. In this funny, fiery conversation, Mitchell and Lee talk about their early days together, about Alan Ginsberg and how the times he lived through don't seem to be over, about Mitchell's adopted New Orleans home, the power of art and lots more. Enjoy. 0:00 — Intro 2:39 — Start of Conversation 3:13 — On celebrating Pride, and Allen Ginsberg 5:34 — On their first collaborations, why their earlier projects couldn't be made in today's climate and industry, and branching out with new projects 10:43 — On promoting their latest film collaboration, "Paying For It" 13:11 — On their musical backgrounds and finding inspiration from different styles and genres of art 14:10 — On up-and-coming cities and scenes for artists, marginalized communities, and progressive and punk cultures 16:57 — Comparing and contrasting modern times and today's art to 1968 18:42 — On making a living as an artist, funding for the arts, and affordability 20:23 — On art movements in small regions, and protecting DIY art spaces, and regional culture in New Orleans 22:03 — On promoting “Paying For It” in the US 23:36 — On the frustrations of a digital world, and building connection and attention spans 25:27 — On doing screenings and gigs for the 25th anniversary of “Hedvig,” and screening “Short Bus” 26:13 — On using art to bring people together again to re-connect to reality 28:58 — On fighting ICE and data centers, and uniting over shared issues 31:46 — On using technology to connect, and young peoples' changing identities 34:23 — On how young people are creating DIY art, and the tools that make art more accessible for creators 38:13 — On the connections between punk culture, art distribution, and resistance 42:29 — On AIDS activism and “applied punk” within the queer community 44:03 — Where you can find their work Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast and thanks to Sook-Yin Lee and John Cameron Mitchell for chatting.

Vor 100 Jahren, am 3. Juni 1926, wurde der US-amerikanische Dichter Allen Ginsberg geboren, der mit Werken wie „Howl“ zu einer der prägenden Stimmen der Beat Generation wurde. Sein Übersetzer Michael Kellner beschreibt die besondere Wirkung des berühmten Gedichts so: „Bei Howl ist das Interessante, es besteht im Hauptteil aus langen Atemzügen.“ Diese Verbindung von Sprache und Rhythmus lasse sich auch aus dem Englischen übertragen, denn „das kann man auch auf Deutsch machen“, sagte Kellner im Gespräch mit SWR Kultur. Ginsberg habe sich zeitlebens nicht nur als Schriftsteller, sondern auch als politischer Aktivist verstanden und mit seinen Gedichten gegen Krieg und gesellschaftliche Zwänge protestiert. Für Kellner ist die Faszination des Autors bis heute ungebrochen, weil „es immer wieder Menschen gibt, die sich dafür interessieren, dass jemand eine andere Haltung hat, eine kritische gesellschaftliche Haltung“.

Del Potter, PhD is an ethnopsychopharmacologist, chemist, and psychedelic pioneer whose career has moved across some of the most consequential and unconventional edges of the field, from Mesoamerican field research and underground manufacturing to cutting-edge pharmaceutical development and clinical trials. He brings a rare perspective to the psychedelic renaissance: not as a commentator, but as someone who was inside the apparatus that produced these compounds long before the current wave had a name. Dr. Potter holds a PhD from a joint program between the UCSF Medical School and UC Berkeley's Department of Anthropology, specializing in psychiatric anthropology, ethnopsychopharmacology, and neuropharmacology, with additional clinical training at the San Francisco Psychoanalytic Institute. His postdoctoral fieldwork examined shamanic traditions and indigenous psychotherapeutic practice across multiple lineages, including ceremonial psilocybin and Salvia divinorum use among the Mazatec of central Mexico, ayahuasca and yagé ritual among the Shuar of Ecuador, and parallel traditions among the Yanomami of Brazil and the Cofán of Colombia, contributing to Richard Evans Schultes' comprehensive survey of psychotropic botanicals worldwide. A formative mentorship with Alexander Shulgin oriented his chemistry toward novel tryptamine compounds, particularly in the DMT and 5-MeO-DMT structural classes, and he has since developed a portfolio of compounds that retain the neuroplasticity associated with psychedelic receptor activity while producing no psychedelic effect. On the pharmaceutical and biotech side, Dr. Potter served as Chief Science Officer at Leef Holdings, designing what became California's largest fully automated medical cannabis manufacturing facility, and later directed first-in-human 5-MeO-DMT clinical trials at UCSF through his work with Alvarius Pharmaceuticals, followed by a Phase 1 trial at Trinity College Dublin. At University College Dublin, he developed and validated the use of human stem cell-derived brain organoids to assess how psychedelic compounds reverse epigenetic changes caused by substance abuse. In 2023 he founded Spiritus Bioscience to develop novel delivery formats for psilocin, DMT, and 5-MeO-DMT, with the first product entering clinical trials in Australia targeting Alcohol Use Disorder. He currently serves as founder and CSO of BioUnbound Inc., exploring the intersection of psychedelics and bioactive peptides for mental health and longevity applications. Dr. Potter is currently completing his memoir, whose working title is Was a Different Time: Chronicles of a Psychedelic Pioneer in the Reign of the Cartels.Episode Highlights ▶ Del's background supplying California cannabis genetics to the Guadalajara cartel and working at Rancho Bufalo  ▶ Meeting cartel figures Miguel Felix Gallardo and Rafael Caro Quintero, and the fallout from the Kiki Camarena murder  ▶ Manufacturing LSD in Marin County using precursor chemicals sourced through cartel connections  ▶ How a DEA sting led to a federal task force, a stunning offer, and a get-out-of-jail-free card  ▶ Mentorship under Alexander Shulgin and the countercultural milieu of Esalen, Claudio Naranjo, Allen Ginsberg, and Terence McKenna  ▶ Why psychedelics have no intrinsic politics: the compound is the same, the container decides everything  ▶ The retreat economy as product development: when one medicine stops differentiating, operators start stacking  ▶ How the clinical and pharmaceutical models convert ceremony into a billable procedure  ▶ The psychoplastogen pipeline: engineering the experience out so the worker is back at their desk by Wednesday  ▶ Indigenous cosmological governance as a technical achievement, not a romanticized ideal  ▶ The concept of restraint and reciprocity as regulatory systems, and what Western culture has lost  ▶ Why patenting psilocybin protocols and dosing postures is a winnable legal argument  ▶ Publicly funded, community-governed clinics as the only container that can hold what these compounds require  ▶ The mental health crisis as inseparable from the housing, wage, care, and climate crises  ▶ Building a parallel infrastructure: cooperatives, commons defense, and indigenous benefit sharing as models    Dr. Del Potter's Links & Resources ▶ https://delpotterphd.substack.com ▶ https://www.facebook.com/del.potter.75 ▶ @drdelpotter.bsky.social ▶ www.biounbound.com ▶ https://www.instagram.com/potter_del/ Download Beth's free trainings here:  Clarity to Clients: Start & Grow a Transformational Coaching, Healing, Spiritual, or Psychedelic Business:  https://bethaweinstein.com/grow-your-spiritual-business Integrating Psychedelics & Sacred Medicines Into Business: https://bethaweinstein.com/psychedelics-in-business ▶ Beth's Coaching & Guidance: https://bethaweinstein.com/coaching  ▶ Beth's Offerings & Courses: https://bethaweinstein.com/services ▶ Instagram:  @bethaweinstein  ▶ FB: / bethw.nyc + bethweinsteinbiz  Download Beth's free trainings here: Clarity to Clients: Start & Grow a Transformational Coaching, Healing, Spiritual, or Psychedelic Business: https://bethaweinstein.com/grow-your-spiritual-businessIntegrating Psychedelics & Sacred Medicines Into Business: https://bethaweinstein.com/psychedelics-in-business▶ Beth's Coaching & Guidance: https://bethaweinstein.com/coaching ▶ Beth's Offerings & Courses: https://bethaweinstein.com/services▶ Instagram: @bethaweinstein ▶ FB: / bethw.nyc + bethweinsteinbiz

Episode: 3370 A Look at Poetry and the Importance of Rhythmic Metre.  Today, the rhythm of poetry.

Gary Lachman in conversation with David Eastaugh https://www.amazon.co.uk/Touched-Presence-Blondies-Bowery-Occult/dp/B0DSV388DQ https://www.gary-lachman.com/ https://garylachman.co.uk/ In this memoir, Lachman recounts how he went from being a successful rock and roller to a writer on consciousness and the Western inner tradition. He shares encounters with rockers such as the Ramones, New York Dolls, Patti Smith, the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, and Iggy Pop and also his time with Timothy Leary, William Burroughs, and Allen Ginsberg. Living with Blondie's Debbie Harry and Chris Stein on New York's Bowery, a block from CBGB, the birthplace of punk rock, Lachman discovered occultism via a follower of Aleister Crowley. Post rock and roll, Lachman's occult studies brought him to the Golden Dawn, Manly P. Hall, Gnosticism, and a stint in Crowley's O.T.O. He details his time in the Fourth Way, including a visit to the site of Gurdjieff 's Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man in France, and his years studying philosophy and literature and working as a science writer while managing a famous metaphysical bookshop at the height of the New Age movement. Excursions to Stonehenge, Avebury, and Glastonbury in search of ley lines and pilgrimages to Colin Wilson's home in Cornwall are a few of the highlights of this introspective, often humorous account of a nascent writer's struggle from rock and roll to individuation.

THIS IS PART TWO - Listen to part one hereCONTENT HEADS UP:  This episode contains discussions of death, dying, end-of-life care, and sensitive topics related to mortality, including chosen suicide and medicalization of death and illness. Listener discretion is advised, especially for individuals who may find these topics distressing or triggering. Please prioritize your emotional well-being while engaging with this content.Also, Ali wants to note that when she asks Karen about her thoughts on suicide, she meant to make a disctinction between “chosen” suicide (when someone wants to live but they are in too much physical pain/their body is too deteriorated without hope of recovery) and “suicide under duress” (meaning due to emotional/psychological/spiritual pain, that may or may not be accompanied by an unavoidably dying body, the person does not want to live). Of course facing a death someone does not want can also be considered duress!  SYNOPSIS:What does good acting and dying have in common? In this episode, Ali discusses all things death, dying, and living as bodies with Karen Bellone, Certified End-of-Life Doula and Death Educator.

Gary Lachman - Touched by the Presence: From Blondie's Bowery and Rock and Roll to Magic and the OccultA memoir of magic, rock and roll, and becoming who you are• Traces the author's journey from bassist and founding member of Blondie to writer on consciousness and the esoteric tradition• Explores his involvement in Gurdjieff's Fourth Way, Crowley's Thelema, and his relationship with the bestselling author Colin Wilson• Reveals how an early love of comic books, science fiction, and fantasy led him to the esoteric traditionNot many members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame are also recognized authorities on the western inner tradition. Gary Lachman is. In 1978, Blondie released the top-ten hit, “(I am Always Touched by Your) Presence, Dear.” Gary Lachman (then Gary Valentine) had written the song for his girlfriend after the series of shared dreams and telepathic experiences they had. Thus started his life-long obsession with the potentials of consciousness.In this memoir, Gary recounts how he went from being a successful rock and roller to a writer on consciousness and the western inner tradition. He shares encounters with rockers such as the Ramones, New York Dolls, Patti Smith, the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Iggy Pop and also Timothy Leary, William Burroughs, and Allen Ginsberg. Living with Blondie's Debbie Harry and Chris Stein on New York's Bowery, a block from the birthplace of punk rock, CBGB, Gary discovered occultism via a follower of Aleister Crowley. Post rock and roll, Gary's occult studies brought him to the Golden Dawn, Manly P. Hall, Gnosticism, and a stint in Crowley's O.T.O.

It's New York's hellacious summer of '77. Rampant crime, a city-wide blackout and the Son of Sam murders have knocked Gotham on its ass. When Lucien Lowe, a young poet on the downtown scene, is found dead in his East Village tenement with a heroin needle in his arm, overworked cops rule it an accidental overdose. But Ike's wealthy girlfriend Julie Baroda suspects murder and urges Ike's best friend, the artist and punk rock fashion designer Finn Burdon, to investigate.Despite Finn's own issues with heroin, he shows an uncanny talent for detective work. As Julie, Finn and police detective Benny Cherin dig deeper, their investigation ultimately encompasses some of the most famous names of 1970s New York, including William S. Burroughs, Jean-Michel Basquiat, CBGB owner Hilly Kristal, Allen Ginsberg, Lou Reed, Truman Capote, Roy Cohn, Fat Tony Salerno, Holly Woodlawn, Steve Rubell, Andrew Crispo, Bella Abzug, Leonard Cohen and many others. In the process, they begin to glimpse the outlines of a violent plot to sabotage the opening night of Hilly Kristal's highly anticipated new venue, The CBGB 2nd Avenue Theater, when Patti Smith is playing and it's packed with thousands.Set during the glory days of New York's downtown music, art, literary and fashion scenes, The CBGB Conspiracy mixes fiction with a host of real events and historical figures. Behind them all looms a character just as visceral and ultimately doomed: the crumbling New York of 1977.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio. Hosted on Acast.

In our ongoing memorial tribute to Kenosha's own Michael Schumacher, a nationally-published author many times over, we are replaying a 2020 conversation about Schumacher's long friendship with Allen Ginsberg. (Schumacher passed away on December 29th at the age of 75. He was a guest on the Morning Show more than a dozen times over the course of three decades.).

In this episode, Jack Eidt interviews author Max Talley on his book called Peace, Love, and Haight, set in the wild San Francisco district of Haight-Ashbury in 1969. The hippie counterculture clashes with the capitalist society in the era of the Vietnam War, the push for civil rights, and the sexual revolution. We feature clips from LSD guru and CIA turncoat Dr. Timothy Leary, poet Allen Ginsberg, psychonaut Terence McKenna, political activist Eldridge Cleaver, and of course the sounds of the Grateful Dead.

Patti Smith, “the Godmother of Punk,” has lived a wild life and accumulated so much wisdom in the process. In the 1960s and '70s, Smith was a fixture of the New York City creative scene — hanging out with the likes of Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Allen Ginsberg and Robert Mapplethorpe. Merging her own poetry with an ace backing band, she became a global rock star. Then she gave it up, moved to Michigan, raised a family, and remade herself into a best-selling author. Her stunning memoir “Just Kids” won the National Book Award and is one of the books that I've kept returning to, again and again.There is clearly something unusual about Smith. People who know her have described her as “shamanistic.” But even for those of us who will never become rock stars, there's something inspiring — and oddly relatable — in how she thinks about life. So I was excited to have the opportunity to sit down with her and learn more.Smith is out with a new memoir, “Bread of Angels,” and is on tour for the 50th anniversary of her breakthrough album, “Horses.” We talk about that book and that album and so much more: the boundless curiosity that drives her; the books that shaped her; her childhood communion with a snapping turtle; what Andy Warhol was like; what color she thinks the soul is; and a lot more that's hard even to describe.This episode contains strong language.Mentioned:“Pan's Labyrinth” by Guillermo del ToroGrimm's Complete Fairy Tales by Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm GrimmBread of Angels by Patti SmithJust Kids by Patti Smith“The Dark Blot” by Gérard de Nerval“Genie” by Arthur Rimbaud“Guernica” by Pablo Picasso“The Last Supper” by Andy WarholBook Recommendations:The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo CollodiFrankenstein by Mary ShelleyThe Poetry of Sylvia Plath Edited by Claire Brennan2666 by Roberto BolañoThoughts?

Ep. 359: Ira Sachs on Peter Hujar's Day Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. This week I spoke with filmmaker Ira Sachs about his latest movie, Peter Hujar's Day. It's a fascinating chronicle of a 1974 conversation between New York photographer Peter Hujar and writer Linda Rosenkrantz, whose asks Hujar to recount a day in his life in great detail, including visits by friends, an encounter with Allen Ginsberg (whom The New York Times assigned him to photograph for a portrait), Chinese food orders, and much else. Based on actual transcripts, it's a beautiful demonstration of craft—the actors', and the photographer and writer they play. Sachs talked about making the film with Whishaw and Hall, the apartment they shot in, the directors whose work inspired him, and the new movie he has been shooting. Peter Hujar's Day is in theaters now. Please support the production of this podcast by signing up at: rapold.substack.com Photo by Steve Snodgrass

Scarlet regales us with tales from the road when Bob Dylan decided he wanted to play live again but wanted to play in smaller venues and connect with people along the way. With greats like Mick Ronson onboard, Dylan also collected poets (Allen Ginsberg), playwrights (Sam Shepard), folk legends (Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Roger McGuinn) and a cast of characters to create not only incredible music on stage but to feed his own creativity and curiosity. The scene was captured by Stefan van Dorp and Martin Scorsese created a film for Netflix in 2019 that gave context to this unique tour. Scarlet was along for the ride after Dylan flagged her down while she was crossing the street in Greenwich Village. Hear who she befriended on tour and the rock legend she was dating at the time without knowing what his stage shows were all about (she ended it after seeing him live). If you can make it to The Junc in Mill Valley on November 4, please do and tell em The Wolf sent ya! If you can't we know you'll still love hearing from Scarlet Rivera about her fond memories of The Rolling Thunder Revue and why she's excited to play with Stu to enjoy those tunes live once again. ⁠www.thejunc.com⁠ ⁠www.scarletriveramusic.com⁠ Check out our new website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ugly American Werewolf in London Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LInkTree⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.pantheonpodcasts.com⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
