'DANNY SAYS' w/ Bob Bert

This week we talked to the legendary musician Bob Bert of Sonic Youth, Pussy Galore, Chrome Cranks, Lydia Lunch Retrovirus & Bewitched, who picked the equally legendary Danny Fields documentary, Danny Says, to discuss. We talk about Danny’s trials with the bands he loved and discovered (including The Stooges, MC5, Jonathan Richman & The Ramones); the notion of chance meetings in art; Danny breaking the news of John Lennon saying ‘The Beatles are bigger than Jesus Christ’ and the aftermath he created for them; changing a guitar string without stopping playing a song; 16 Magazine; Bob’s early shows seeing Suicide, Wayne County, Patti Smith, New York Dolls & Television; the greatness of Dead Moon & The Scientists; WFMU; shoplifting MC5 records; the Super 8mm punk document Blank Generation; how he joined both Sonic Youth & Pussy Galore; Rock Scene magazine, the genesis of the Pussy Galore drum set he built and how it hurts to play it, his process with publishing BB Gun Magazine, doing drugs and seeing Pink Floyd, unsung NYC band heroes, planning out your whole week around rock shows, Max’s Kansas City and why we haven’t gotten a Jonathan Richman documentary yet!So, let’s roll our eyes along with the singular force that changed music forever on this week’s Revolutions Per Movie.BOB BERT:https://goner-records.com/products/im-just-drummer-bob-bert-book-hozacInstagram: @therealbobbertLIMITED EDITION REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE SHIRT:revolutionspermovie.bandcamp.comREVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE:Host Chris Slusarenko (Eyelids, Guided By Voices, owner of Clinton Street Video rental store) is joined by actors, musicians, comedians, writers & directors who each week pick out their favorite music documentary, musical, music-themed fiction film or music videos to discuss.
