"Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we’ll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment inthe lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as otherartists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, andinspiring.This week, we have musician Wille Nile on the show. Willieis a singer-songwriter who burst onto the scene with his acclaimed solo debut back in 1980, and while some legal hurdles in the industry temporarily slowed his solo path, they never came close to stopping him. Over the years, he’s shared stages with icons like The Who, Bruce Springsteen, and Ringo Starr.In today’s episode, Willie takes us back to the moment hefirst fell in love with rock and roll — and how discovering the raw energy ofthe Beat poets helped shape his unique musical voice.
