1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: You can't play around. I'm buzz Night on the next

2
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: Taking a Walk podcast. We are in the village and

3
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: I'm with the dear friend of mine, Steve Lee. Steve,

4
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,159
Speaker 1: it's so great to be with you. Thank you. Just

5
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: to be very specific, we're on the Lower east Side, Okay,

6
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: so it's on the outskirts of the village and we're

7
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: on an avenue called Houston Street. Now people from out

8
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: of town look at and go, oh Houston, No, no, Houston.

9
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: You know music's important to us. Can you articulate why music? Well,

10
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 1: Karl Marx used the expression from religion, but I'll rephrase

11
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: it and put it in the context of music. It's

12
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: the opiate of the masses. Where As Brian Ferry said

13
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: love is the drug I need to score. Maybe music

14
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: is in that too, somewhere common denominator that everyone in

15
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: the world knows in some form or another, from an

16
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: aboriginal drum in Australia to the Beata Sweto to you know,

17
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: it's just everywhere you know, you go, there's some representation

18
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: of music. And we're just in a highly evolved or

19
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: so we think, society and we've taken it to this

20
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: level where it's not just a cultural thing, but it's

21
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: a business, and a big business. That's next time on
