TWO GREAT PODCASTS COVERING THE MUSIC OF 1973 and 1965 IN DEPTH

The rock and roll archeologist Christian Swain was kind enough to bring me back on DEEPER DIGS IN ROCK for a far-ranging conversation on 1973.

And his podcast comrade Brad Page did a phenomenal summary of 1965 on his show I’M IN LOVE WITH THAT SONG where he breaks down the artistry behind the hits of that year.

And if you are into rock and roll podcasts you can’t do better than Christian’s epic mult

Quotes by Andrew Grant Jackson (?)

“In an era when gay men like Beatles' manager Brian Epstein paid a fortune in blackmail to hustlers to keep their secrets safe, Andy Warhol took everything he was told to keep hidden and threw it right back in society's face.”
― Andrew Grant Jackson, 1965: The Most Revolutionary Year in Music: The Most Revolutionary Year in Music

“because he began using the term “heavy metal” with equal vigor, perhaps derived from a lyric in Steppenwolf’s “Born to Be Wild,” or from Beat writer William Burroughs’s character The Heavy Metal Kid from his early ’60s Nova Trilogy. A blogger named A. S. Van Dorston chronicled all the times Saunders used the term in his reviews in the early ’70s.11 In a 1970 Humble Pie review for Rolling Stone, he brandished the term as an insult, but by 1971 in Creem he was using it positively for Sir Lord Baltimore. The following year he used it in multiple reviews in Rolling Stone and Phonograph Record magazine for bands like Deep Purple and Uriah Heep (and even Fanny), dubbing Sabbath the “Dark Princes of Heavy Metal.” That year other writers like Dave Marsh in Creem started picking it up as well. By 1973 NME followed suit, as did Melody Maker in 1974.”
