Ram Dass has suggested that we should think of ourselves in terms of “souls, not roles.” Out of this concept came a new podcast "Rock and Roles" hosted by Danny Goldberg. Danny has made his living in the rock and roll business as a journalist, PR guy, record company President and manager since the late 1960's when he was still a teenager. "Rock and Roles" explores how music has both drawn Danny closer to spirituality—and also helped snare him in an obsession with his “role” in the business including concerns about money, status, or seeing his name in print.
Rosanna Arquette has functioned at a very high level in many aspects of the entertainment business for many decades while staying faithful to her hippie roots (she grew up in a commune).
Rosanna has been in more than seventy films and dozens of TV shows working with such legendary directors as Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino and featured in contemporary cable drama in roles on “Girls” and Ray Donovan.” She has been on the cover of Rolling Stone and hosted Saturday Night Live and has directed documentaries and music videos.
She is also an activist and a mystic and a passionate champion of music. I have long marveled at how she can keep one part of herself firmly planted in the ever changing zeitgeist of Hollywood and others in the beautiful mist of art and transcendence.
