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.
Danny Goldberg introduces his Rock and Roles podcast with Raghu - Danny’s history in the music business with the likes of Led Zeppelin and Kurt Cobain is counterbalanced by his 40 odd year relationship to the path of Bhakti Yoga. Music of course is the bridge: “We were blessed with this moment in time when pop and mass appeal culture and music that could make you feel sexy and alive coincided with a certain level of spirituality”. Raghu brings up another moment in time where mindfulness seemed to transmute anger roles and Danny counters with the his idea of mindful triggers.
