Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Taking a walk.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Hey, it's buzz night. Every episode had taken a walk.
I ask my guests one question, if you could take
a walk with anyone, living or dead, who would it be.
The answers always surprise me. This month's Dream Walks shows
you who inspires the legends, the heroes behind the heroes.
Let's take a listen Gordy and Ed from the Band

(00:22):
of Heathens. Since we do call this podcast taking a walk,
I do have to ask you the question who would
you take a walk with? Living or dead?

Speaker 3 (00:31):
I take a walk with my grandfather, who I was
named after my dad's dad. I never got to meet him.
He died after he found out that my mom was
pregnant with me, and I've heard nothing but great stories
about him, and I guess he was also a pretty
great amateur musician. One of the great generations, which I
think is in the rear view mirror, really seems to
be like the iconic generation of America in terms of

(00:54):
saving the world from fascism and then you know, kind
of exporting the great ideals of a mare to the world.
So I think I think I get a lot out
of that. I think that would kind of inform a
lot of a lot of who I am in a
way that it's probably subconscious or unconscious because I just
was never you know, it was never tangible.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Gordy, I would probably go on a walk with like
Jesus or Buddha or somebody enlightened.

Speaker 4 (01:25):
I mean, Jesus would be the easy one culturally in America.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
But but honestly, I feel.

Speaker 4 (01:29):
Like modern Christianity has gone astray from what I think
he intended. I'd have a ton of questions trying to
get to the bottom of it.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Harold Bronson from Rhino Records.

Speaker 5 (01:42):
Good friend of mine for many years is Peter Noon
from Herman's Hermits. I don't see him very often. You know,
sometimes we'll get together for lunch because you know, I'm
in Los Angeles. He lives in Santa Barbara. But on
a couple occasions, you know, I've said, oh, let's walk together,
which we never have. But we have had sort of

(02:02):
some chats when he's been walking and you know, and
I've been walking, but it's just kind of been haphazard.
So so even though I offered, like come out to
Santa Barbara, let's go for a walk, we've sort of
never done that. So I would like to have a
walk with Peter noon. I'd come to Santa Barbara because
we've never done that together.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Gina Gershaum, Welcome to the Taken a Walk podcast.

Speaker 6 (02:25):
You know, weirdly enough, you know who comes into my
dreams a lot. I swear to God, this is the
weirdest thing. We always have the best time. We've even
written weird songs together. I'm like, I wake up going
we what.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Does it not?

Speaker 6 (02:39):
Jimmy Hendrix comes into my dreams a lot. It's so
weird and we like will be like smoking a joint,
or we'll go to in and out Burger or you know,
like random stuff and we just like laugh. I don't
know what he means to me, you know, I really
try to think about it, but I don't know. I
really have a good time with him in my dream
so he would be really fun to take a walk with.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Be tearous to talk to him.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
