If you had to take a walk with someone, living or dead, who might that person be?
That is the theme of iHeartRadio podcast takin' a walk, and the question host Buzz Knight asks every guest.
Per the podcast summary:
"Buzz takes listeners on a journey through music history, exploring the inside stories from guests, while sharing stories and insights about musicians, bands, and the music they create."
In the latest episode:
"Buzz converses with Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Steve Earle. Earle shares personal stories about his life, career, and musical influences. He discusses his experiences with spiritual teacher Ram Dass, his daily walking routines in New York City, and the creation of his iconic albums "Guitar Town" and "Copperhead Road." Earle also reflects on his struggles in the music industry, his interest in jazz and bluegrass, and his philanthropic efforts. The episode offers a deep dive into Earle's artistic journey and his commitment to storytelling and social causes."
Earle revealed that the one person he would take a walk with, living or dead, would be Indian philosopher and poet "Ram Dass because I knew him a little at the end of his life and he couldn't walk by the time I met him. He had had a pretty catastrophic stroke, but he was still Ram Das."
