• Larry Dvoskin: From the Beach Boys to Bowie & "This New Age"

  He’s jammed with Freddie Mercury after Live Aid, written songs with Beach Boys royalty, and once found himself shooting guns in a backyard with KISS guitarist Ace Frehley…while on Quaaludes. I’m talking about musician, songwriter, and producer Larry Dvoskin. Over the years, Larry has collaborated with legends like Robert Plant, Sammy Hagar, Sean Lennon, Robin Zander, Bad Company, Al Jardine, and MGMT. In this episode, we cover it all—from co-writing “Wish” with Al Jardine, to talking quantum physics with Paul McCartney, to the unreleased David Bowie–Brandy track he’s holding onto. He shares the full story behind that surreal Ace Frehley moment and discusses his latest release, “This New Age,” recorded with the band Familiar Faces. We kick off this conversation with a heartfelt look at the legacy of Brian Wilson - and the timeless music of the Beach Boys that continues to inspire generations.

• Unplugged: Fred Mollin on Producing Hits, Scoring TV & Film, and the Moments that Shaped Him

  Fred Mollin has done it all—from scoring film & cult TV classics to producing chart-topping ballads and lullabies for Disney. But behind his long list of credits is a winding, wild journey through the music industry that’s anything but ordinary. In this episode, Fred joins My Rock Moment to talk about his new memoir Unplugged and the moments that defined his career. He shares stories of leaving school at 16 to chase music, auditioning for John Hammond, producing Dan Hill’s “Sometimes When We Touch” (and seeing none of the royalties), and the time that Clive Davis dropped the mic and the phone call on Fred. You'll also hear about Fred’s work with Jimmy Webb and Kris Kristofferson, the unexpected magic of his Disney Lullabies series, and a hilarious prank on Rod Stewart that did not land the way he’d hoped. It’s a candid, funny, and deeply human conversation with one of music’s great behind-the-scenes storytellers. Check out the links below to learn more about Fred and get his book, Unplugged.

• Chris O'Dell - The World's First Female Tour Manager

  Chris O'Dell might very well hold the title of the world's first female rock 'n' roll tour manager. O'Dell has led a fascinating life; one that planted her firmly in rock royalty's inner circle in the 60s and 70s. Befriending Derek Taylor in LA, she soon found herself working for the Beatles' Apple Corps in London. While there she was present for the recording of The White Album, Abbey Road, Let it Be, and sang in the Hey Jude chorus. She sat on the rooftop while the Beatles played their last live performance in January of 1969 and even lived with George Harrison and Pattie Boyd at Friar Park. She went on to be one of the first - if not, THE first - female tour managers, working with the likes of George Harrison, The Rolling Stones, and Bob Dylan on his 'Rolling Thunder Revue' tour. She inspired George Harrison to pen the song, "Miss O’Dell,” she's the subject of Leon Russell’s “Pisces Apple Lady” and “Hummingbird," she is the “woman down the hall,” in the Joni Mitchell song, “Coyote,” and her picture can be seen on the back cover of The Stones's 1972 masterpiece, Exile on Main Street. We cover a lot of ground in this episode, but to get the full story, check out her book and website with the links below: https://www.missodell.com Miss O'Dell: Hard Days and Long Nights with The Beatles, The Stones, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton and the Women They Loved Playlist: Pisces Apple Lady - Leon Russell Hey Jude - The Beatles All Things Must Pass - George Harrison Miss O'Dell - George Harrison Torn and Frayed - The Rolling Stones Just Like a Woman - Bob Dylan Follow My Rock Moment on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/la_woman_rocks Learn more about your ad choices.

• Woodstock, Dylan & Rock Icons: Photographer Lisa Law on Capturing a Revolution

  Lisa Law’s still, movie and video images have chronicled decades of social and cultural changes in America. And her film, ‘Flashing On The Sixties,’ was described by actor-director Dennis Hopper as “the most compelling, moving documentary of the Sixties”.  In 1966, Lisa and her husband resided in the renowned "Castle" in Los Feliz, Los Angeles, a hub that welcomed numerous prominent musicians, including Bob Dylan. She shares stories from Dylan's stay and offers her perspective on the recent film, A Complete Unknown. Lisa was also part of the Hog Farm commune, and they were tasked with keeping the peace at Woodstock ‘69. Yet, her efforts at the festival were integral to its success - from managing the trip tents to mobilizing members of the Hog Farm and other festival goers so that they were able to feed over 200,000 people! She also played a role in the organization of Woodstock '99, and was featured in the recent Netflix documentary, "Trainwreck: Woodstock '99." In our discussion, we explore the stark contrasts between the two festivals and how insights from '69 might have prevented the latter's challenges. Lisa was there for all the seminal pop culture moments of the 1960s, capturing them with her beautiful photos. And she’s one of the very few people that can say she’s been to all 3 Woodstock festivals! For more information on Lisa, her photos, as well as her book and film of the same name, 'Flashing on the Sixties,' take a look at her website: https://www.flashingonthesixties.com Learn more about your ad choices.
