Legendary rock and roll photographer and author, Bob Gruen joins
us for our one-year anniversary episode. We discuss Bob's career
producing iconic images that have very often provided the narrative
for rock and roll for the past 50 years. Bob is synonymous with
John Lennon, Yoko Ono, The Rolling Stones, Ike and Tina Turner,
Kiss, The New York Dolls, Led Zeppelin, Ramones, Sex Pistols, The
Clash, and a mind-numbing host of other rock and roll legends. It
is also difficult to think of Bob Gruen without thinking of his
home, stomping ground, and workplace, New York City. He is, without
a doubt, New York's premier photographer, and one of the most
important that rock and roll music has ever seen. In this little
tribute episode to the power of the image in rock music, we're
honored to be joined by Bob. Mike also gives his review of the Fyre
Festival. Mike Derrico and Pat Ivanitski are your hosts in the
absence of co-host Stick Nixon. Go to Bob Gruen's website at

We thank all of our supporters who stepped up to get behind this
brand new podcast this past year. We make it a point not to focus
on any one particular artist, band, or genre of music, but with
that comes the reality that our show may not always appeal to
everyone at the same time. The seven decades of rock and roll music
along with its even longer history gives us an extremely broad
canvas to create discussions on, drawing from different areas with
each episode. So there is still always something for everyone.

Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Prince, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen,
Kiss, Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, The Who, Fleetwood
