(00:21):
your exploration missed Opportunity. I love sharing conversations. Now hosting
them will require some show prep. My podcasting platforms feature
thousands of incredible guests. What you don't have access to
are my missed opportunities. The show prep was completed, the
conversation didn't happen. I keep all of my notes because
(00:41):
I believe that paths will one day cross again. Let
me explain missed opportunity. It's my questions and statements without
their answers. I'm leaving open enough space at the end
of every question, hoping they'll download the talk and insert
their answers, then send it back to me. Missed opportunity
is a lost piece of history, like a message in
(01:02):
a bottle. It's been tossed out to see I hope
to locate the destination. This week, we're putting focus on
my missed opportunity with the legendary Clive Davis, And if
you're like most people under the age of thirty, you're
probably going who Clive Davis. Who. Clive Davis is a
(01:22):
legendary executive and record company founder. He has looked upon
as being one of the most influential figures in modern music,
changing the path of dozens of major artists. He attended
Harvard Law School in nineteen fifty six. From there and
before music, he worked as an attorney. This is what
laid the groundwork for his shift toward the music industry.
(01:44):
Four years after Harvard, Clive Davis joined Columbia Records as
part of their legal department. It was the Monterey Pop
Festival in nineteen sixty seven that shifted his desire and
direction to lean more toward rock and pop music. Now.
The invitation to share a conversation with the legendary Clive
Davis came on September seventeenth, two thy seventeen. Within twenty
(02:08):
four hours, I received word that it was actually going
to happen. Three days later, on September twentieth, the connection
with the tour engineer was sent. It was one hundred
percent a go. One day before my conversation with Clive Davis,
they sent an email wanting to know if the moment
would be live or if it would be recorded. That
(02:29):
means it was really gonna happen. Mmm. Within twelve hours
I received the email. He has pulled off the schedule.
He has promised a make update. Stay tuned. Sorry for
this last minute crap. Those were the exact words the
conversation didn't happen. Coming up next, my questions my statements
(02:52):
for the legendary Clive Davis. Hey, thanks for coming back
to missed opportunity. This is my missed opportunity with the
legendary Clive Davis. The questions and the statements from September
twenty seventeen. What is a good song inside a world
with so much sound? Is it the natural voice, tone
(03:18):
or the performance that really lands a voice into our imaginations? Visionary,
let's talk about that. Can you see culture changing before
it escapes the brave artists who have set their music
free reputation. You are the heartbeat that shapes the moments
(03:38):
of tomorrow, and it happens by you giving things creatively
away in a brilliant way. Aren't you the greatest piece
of music history. I mean seriously, think about that. Your
heart stands inside open for other artists. You're always ready
to share with those of creative flow. Do you agree
(04:02):
that your image should be the fifth person on Mount Rushmore?
You've always been so humble, Clive, as if to be
perfectly in tune with all things real life. You've lived
this life. To watch it being played back, does it
open your visions to reach even further than where you've been?
(04:23):
This documentary is a physical sheet of music that embraces
every genre and sound, and you had something to do
with that. So has Clive Davis ever listened to Clive
Davis singing along? So what's missing from today's music environment?
Are there too many sources to find music? There? You
(04:46):
have it, My questions and statements for the legendary Clive Davis.
Missed opportunity is a lost piece of history. You now
know the questions, so let's locate the reactions. The door
is always going to be open. If you are or
no Clive Davis, please have him or you reach out
to me at erroc at gmail dot com. That's a R.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
