Music 101, now in its third season, continues its deep dive into rock history with The Ian Hunter Connection: Mapping the Rock ’n’ Roll Network — RIP ...

Part 3 expands the map—examining Hunter’s artistic alliances, his songwriting evolution, and the ripple effects of his collaborations with figures like David Bowie and Mick Ronson. From glam rock’s theatrical rise to the connective tissue linking British rock to American stages, this episode analyzes the ecosystem of relationships that shaped a generation of sound. Rather than focusing solely on biography, this installment treats rock ’n’ roll as a network—producers, sidemen, lyricists, and cultural movements intersecting in real time. In honoring Hunter’s passing in 2025, Music 101 approaches his career not as a closed chapter, but as a living influence embedded in the DNA of modern rock.
