Takin' A Walk - Music History with Buzz Knight

Join Host Buzz Knight on this episode of Takin A Walk with legendary music maven Danny Fields as they walk and talk in Greenwich Village.

Danny is the former manager of Lou Reed and The Ramones.

Here are show notes.

Danny Fields: A Man who Changed the Face of Rock N Roll from Greenwich Village
New York City is a city of neighborhoods, and Greenwich Village is no exception. Its cobblestone streets, historic brownstones, and lively restaurants make it one of the most frequented neighborhoods. It's also a place for people to live and work who want to stay in the heart of Manhattan without having to face the costly living costs. One unique thing about this neighborhood is that it's very diverse regarding race, culture, and geography.

 

Greenwich Village is a lively, urban neighborhood with many cafes, bars and restaurants, jazz clubs, Broadway productions, and historical brownstones. It can be a great place to explore as a tourist. Writers and poets, artists and radicals, runaway socialites, and others seeking freedom from conventional lifestyles have long flocked to this spot, lit most famously by the counterculture figures of the 1950s and '60s: Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, James Baldwin, Bob Dylan, and others. Take this walking tour with me, Buzz, and Danny Fields to better orient yourself in the Village and to hear more about his music career.

 

Danny Fields is an American music manager, publicist, journalist, and author. As a music industry executive from the 1960s to the 1980s, he was one of the most influential figures in punk rock history.

Bob Gruen: How A Legendary Photographer Captured the Passion Of A Generation
Becoming a successful photographer is not only about the camera but, more importantly, the passion. If you love photography, making it a full-time career will be easy. However, success doesn't come overnight. It takes time and perseverance to meet your goals in this industry. Listen and learn more from this amazing conversation as we take a walk with Bob Gruen, a legendary photographer who captured the passion of a generation.

 

Bob Gruen is one of the most well-known and respected photographers in rock and roll. From John Lennon to Johnny Rotten; Muddy Waters to the Rolling Stones; Elvis to Madonna; Bob Dylan to Bob Marley; Tina Turner to Debbie Harry, he has captured the music scene for over forty years in photographs that have gained worldwide recognition. Bob has worked with major rock acts such as Led Zeppelin, The Who, David Bowie, Tina Turner, Elton John, Aerosmith, Kiss & Alice Cooper. He toured extensively with emerging punk and new wave bands, including the New York Dolls, Sex Pistols, Clash, Ramones, Patti Smith Group, and Blondie. His “Sid Vicious with Hot Dog” photo was acquired for their permanent collection in 1999 by The National Portrait Gallery, London. In June 2004, Bob was presented with MOJO Magazine’s prestigious Honours List Award for Classic Image in London. “All Dolled Up,” a DVD documentary by Bob Gruen and Nadya Beck of their early ‘70s video footage of the New York Dolls, was released in 2005.

 

In the spring of 2007, FAAP University in Sao Paulo, Brazil, presented Bob Gruen’s work exhibition. Titled ROCKERS, the exhibition attracted 40,000 visitors. The ROCKERS exhibition was also shown from April to July 2008 at Morrison Hotel Gallery on the Bowery in New York City. In November 2010, Bob was inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame.

She is a presidential historian, international keynote speaker, Pulitzer Prize-winning, New York Times #1 best-selling author, and a partner in Pastimes Productions.

 

Ms. Goodwin is often called upon by the news media and late-night TV hosts as well as companies, educational institutions, and nonprofits to discuss leadership and provide historical context for the current day, including discussion of the impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic and the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Ms. Goodwin’s seventh book, “Leadership in Turbulent Times,” was an instant bestseller and published to critical acclaim in Fall 2018. Focusing on Presidents Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, and Lyndon Baines Johnson, the book provides an accessible and essential road map for aspiring and established leaders in every field and all of us in our everyday lives.

 

In 2020, Ms. Goodwin executive produced through her new independent production company, Pastimes Productions Inc., the miniseries WASHINGTON, which was broadcast to record audiences on HISTORY over Presidents’ Day weekend 2020. Her second production ABRAHAM LINCOLN premiered over three nights on Presidents’ Day weekend 2022 on HISTORY.

                                      Show Notes

Be Bold, Open, Transparent, and Authentic for Change as a Leader with Charlene Li
Leaders need to be fearless and take risks to create change. Sometimes it's not a matter of being lucky but rather being bold enough to initiate the change in the first place. If a leader is too scared or cautious about taking risks, they will never be able to implement the needed changes their organization needs. Join another conversation of “Takin’ a Walk Podcast.” This show is about the love of conversations with extraordinary people, people who have extraordinary stories. Leadership is one of the topics I always talk about with the guests when taking a walk. Today’s guest, Charlene Li, is an expert in that area.

 

Charlene Li has been helping people see the future for the past two decades. She’s the New York Times bestselling author of six books, including her newest release, The Disruption Mindset: Why Some Businesses Transform While Others Fail, and Open Leadership, as well as co-author of the critically-acclaimed book, Groundswell. Charlene is an entrepreneur who founded and ran Altimeter Group, a disruptive industry analyst firm that Prophet acquired in 2015. With over 20 years of experience in tech and business, she has been a respected advisor to Fortune 500 companies on digital transformation and leadership. Charlene also serves on the regional board for YPO, a global network of CEOs.

 

Charlene is a sought-after public speaker and has appeared at events ranging from TED and the World Business Forum to SXSW. She has appeared on 60 Minutes and PBS NewsHour and is frequently quoted by The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, USA Today, and The Associated Press. She was named one of the Top 50 Leadership Innovators by Inc. and one of the most creative people in business by Fast Company. Charlene graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College and received her MBA from Harvard Business School.
