Peter Wolf on “Warm” to the Beatles, his musical roots and memoirs, “Waiting for the Moon”

The legendary rock music and front man Peter Wolf joined host Kenneth Wumak to talk about the discovery of mysterious songs, “Warm” to the Beatles, his new memoirs “Waiting for the moon“More than that in a special reward episode of“ Everything Fab Four ”, participated in the production of podcast by Me and Womack (a music world that also writes about pop music for the salon) and distributed by Salon.

Wolf found an international fame in the early eighties of the last century as a major singer J While he told Womack, both his father, mother and older sister played the machines, and thanks to them, he suffered from what he called “the two great early musical influences on his life”: his father is accompanied by a rehearsal by the famous Italian Moscanini and his knowledge in his sister’s history to Rock,

When he was a teenager, Wolf was a fans of Everly Prades, and he entered (and lost) the local talent competition that sings “Goodbye Loew” with some of the neighborhood’s friends. A few years later, he began taking his music very seriously and formed a famous Boston District band with their colleagues at the College of Arts. By the time the Beatles team struck America, Wolf claims to have already heard them by listening religiously to a late night radio program playing Vee-Jay records before they appeared “ED Sullivan Show” in 1964.

“It took some time to warm up to the Beatles,” Lomak explained. “I was not part of the first Beatlemania.” For his money, it was the first song that made him run out and buy a record, “Heartbreak Hotel” from Elvis Presley. As it turned out, he will be on a tour with Peter Frapton (who was a previous guest in everything Fab Four) in 1977 – along with the same crew who often traveled with Elvis – when they received news of the death of Prisoni.

These types of stories will lead to the writing of a wolf of his memoirs, “Waiting for the moon: artists, poets, cavity, fruit and gods” (outside now), which were years in making. He said, “I was a great reader.” “I have read a lot of music notes that came from the same template.” Noting that people often tell him that he should write a book because of his unique style of telling stories, he decided to do this – providing accurate glimpses in many of his cooperation and relationships throughout his life and his professional life – including crossing the paths with all four Beatles. In fact, all of them met with the exception of the Ringo Starr until the incitement ceremony of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2015, where Paul McCartney was attending to stir Star and ended up by the way to teaching the wolf the origin of a well -known phrase.

And when it comes to what he believes makes rock music great, Wolf says it is a mixture of songs and the ability to really honor others’ songs with cover versions – which says J. Geels Band and Beatles well. “They covered mysterious songs to honor the original artists – like a greeting, because they loved the records.
