Ernie Brooks - episode 2

Author: Bill Harvey February 14, 2018 Duration: 44:10
Ernie Brooks was a founding member of The Modern Lovers, one of the most important bands that paved the way for punk and new wave. In addition to a musical life Ernie has a long history of political activism, which seems inexorably linked to his creativity. As a young teenager he participated in the civil rights movement, traveling south to register voters and participating in the Selma to Montgomery walk. Later at Harvard as a member of SDS he participated in anti-war actions including the occupation of the Harvard administration building. Since then he has been active in a variety of local and national issues. Ernie and I had a great conversation about inspiration, creativity and community.

Bill Harvey hosts Harvey at the Undisclosed Location, a podcast that unfolds from a different, thoughtfully chosen spot for each conversation. This isn't a studio show; the changing backdrop is central, influencing the rhythm and texture of every discussion. Harvey brings guests into these spaces-sometimes literal, sometimes metaphorical-to explore the subtle and often overlooked connections between societal structures and everyday cultural expressions. You'll hear unscripted dialogues that meander through topics like local folklore, the architecture of public spaces, the unspoken rules of community, and how personal identity is shaped by our surroundings. The audio itself often carries the ambient signature of the location, making each episode a distinct auditory experience. This podcast thrives on curiosity rather than agenda, offering listeners a chance to step out of their own routine and consider the world from a fresh, undisclosed vantage point. It’s for anyone who believes place has a story to tell and that the most interesting observations about society and culture often happen off the main path, in a conversation that feels both intimate and expansively curious.
