Ep 74: Interview w/ ANITA GEVINSON (Author of "YOU TURN ME ON, I'M A RADIO")

Author: playthatpodcast March 11, 2024 Duration: 1:14:54
This is Play That Rock n' Roll's interview with author Anita Gevinson about her book "YOU TURN ME ON, I'M A RADIO... My Wild Rock 'N' Roll Life", which includes an account of her relationship with songwriter Warren Zevon. In this conversation, we talk about why Anita decided to write the book, what it was like watching Warren record the Excitable Boy album with Jackson Browne, and how Warren's concerts changed over the years they were together. We also discuss some of her frustrations about how she and Warren were portrayed in Crystal Zevon's book "I'LL SLEEP WHEN I'M DEAD: The Dirty Life and Times of Warren Zevon".

Ever put on a record and feel like you're stepping into a different time? That's the space where Play That Rock n‘ Roll lives. This isn't just a playlist or a dry history lesson. It's a conversation about the music that built an era, hosted by playthatpodcast. Each episode digs into the albums that defined generations, the artists who lived the myth, and the often-overlooked stories behind the anthems we all know by heart. We're talking about the raw energy of the late '60s, the sprawling ambition of the '70s, and the seismic shifts that followed. You'll hear about the studio experiments that went wrong (and sometimes brilliantly right), the cultural moments that shaped the songs, and the legacies that continue to echo. It's for anyone who wants to go deeper than the greatest hits, to understand not just what was played, but why it still matters. This podcast is a part of Pantheon Podcasts, offering a dedicated look at the soundtrack of a revolution. So, crank it up and join us as we revisit the riffs, the solos, and the sheer attitude that made classic rock an enduring force. New episodes drop regularly, ready to fuel your next deep dive into music history.
