Liza Lentini: Why Rock Isn't Dead & Human Creativity Still Matters (Ep. 62)
Is rock and roll really dead? And can human creativity survive the rise of artificial intelligence? In this new episode, Mark sits down with Liza Lentini, the new Editor-in-Chief of SPIN Magazine, for a wide-ranging conversation about the past, present, and future of music. Lentini shares her journey from award-winning playwright to leading one of America's most influential music publications, explains why she believes rock music is thriving despite predictions of its demise, and reveals why SPIN refuses to feature AI-generated music, writing, or imagery.Mark and Liza also take a nostalgic trip through the Gen X music scene, recalling the days of discovering new bands through radio, record stores, and legendary rock clubs. From The Clash, New Order, and The Cure to Deftones, Sublime, and the enduring appeal of '80s music, they explore what made that era special and what today's artists can learn from it. Along the way, they discuss the disappearance of musical tastemakers, the challenges facing independent artists, the impact of technology on human connection, and Liza's hopes for a new renaissance in the arts.Find more of Liza Lentini’s work at https://www.spinmagazine.com/.Check out Mark Joseph's books, available on Amazon now.Making REAGAN: https://a.co/d/097EEQcRRock Gets Religion: https://a.co/d/0ios8Jw4The Rock & Roll Rebellion: https://a.co/d/0aeE0iDlFaith, God & Rock 'n' Roll: https://a.co/d/01CGOUDUThe Lion, The Professor, & The Movies: https://a.co/d/0emnt6RhOwn your copy of the REAGAN Movie now on DVD, Blu-Ray, Amazon and Apple TV.Blu-Ray / DVD: https://a.co/d/02Y2zt5vAmazon Video: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0DMTJMRWY/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_rApple TV: https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/reagan/umc.cmc.6yum5f9xp7nawka60vvtjh68uListen to REAGAN: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, REAGAN: Songs Inspired By The Film, and REAGAN: Original Motion Picture Score, available now to purchase and stream on all major music platforms.Songs Inspired By The Film: https://curbrecords.ffm.to/reaganinspiredbyOriginal Motion Picture Soundtrack: https://curbrecords.ffm.to/reaganOriginal Motion Picture Score:Amazon Music: https://amazon.com/music/player/albums/B0DN78RPQ8?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_ZhsFL12QR0RNZKIkrnd45259NApple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/reagan-original-motion-picture-score/1780022720Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/7hOEFiaWsWm0LOU0WG9W3f?si=HGZRMCDaT0iOIPLI5ikO4AOwn your copy of Mark Joseph's film, No Safe Spaces, on DVD, Amazon and Apple TV.DVD: https://a.co/d/06Ku0ieEAmazon Video: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0GX2RLL3S?ref_=atv_dp_share_cu_rApple TV: https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/no-safe-spaces/umc.cmc.2t8trefv8k1ky7k430wsbx700See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
