1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 1: Podcast play Down I'm Buzznight. On the next Taking a

2
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: Walk podcast, I have a guest. I'm so excited to

3
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: speak with Spencer Propper. He's an iconic figure in the

4
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: record industry and in the American media landscape. How have

5
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: you cultivated such a love of music in your career

6
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: by being a musician, by being a failed songwriter, by

7
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: being a dreamer and getting next to people who are

8
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: the real deal and getting a little halo from that.

9
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: How did I do it? I did it because I

10
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: got lucky and I cared it. So when you first

11
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: ran into Quiet Riot, did you expect they were going

12
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: to become as big as they would become? No way,

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 1: no way. We got lucky. But it connected to the kids.

14
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: All the people I dealt with in the industry initially

15
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: hated it. They didn't sound like what was on the radio.

16
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: You know, if you have soft sal you have Duran, Duran,

17
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: you have the police. When you heard bang your head,

18
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: it didn't sound like any of them. So the fact

19
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: that it became an anthem for a generation, that's pretty cool.

20
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: That I think it would blow up and go to

21
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: number one in Billboard. No, but you know what, I'll

22
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: take the ride any day. I believed in the music.

23
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: I believe that it could make a statement, and it

24
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 1: connected with the kids. That's next time I'm taking a walk.
