Genya is the true definition of a dope human being. She's so fucking cool.
And anyone who calls someone a "dope human being"...is a dope.
I can listen to Genya all day.
They say that when you scratch the paint on anyone, you'll find a story. But you'll never find another story like Genya's. All that she's seen and been through and she still has that incredible laugh and twinkle in her eyes. And she brings that that disarming frankness about all of it. One of my "most memorable people". Without a doubt. Love ya, Goldie. You are a true original
Genya Ravan, April Lawton & Annette Peacock ,Big Mama Thorton are each titans, on whose shoulders today's luminaries stand.
One of the greatest unsung heroines of rock and roll. To sound cliche, she was a groundbreaker and so far ahead of her time. Her book is a great read.
One of the best of the o.h.w.r. interviews. Keep them coming.
Love her!!
Her accent is so NY. She was a hottie back in the day, her album cover Urban Desire 😍.
This lady of Rock & Roll is of the status of a Icon, and a cultural heroine of New York City, especially the Downtown scene, and is a most serious curator of music, a important contributor of modern music, a definitive inspiration for women in rock & Roll.
Would have been great to illustrate this vivid conversation with some photo inserts from her heydays.
When I seen this was an 1hour & 45 mins I was like I don't know if I can do this. So good, So fast. Eye of the needle interview !
There's more "balls" in 5 minutes of her reality than a male music superstar's whole obscenely overpriced confessional Broadway run ! The real deal here- Bravo, Genya,- when she scratches the surface, there's blood!
Awesome
Wow I wouldn't have recognized her! I must get her book.
I try to turn as many people on to Genya ,as I meet in a day.
i like her
I can’t believe the Shel Silverstein story!
The good memories she had of Poland when she was sitting on her fathers shoulders and they were singing was probably in Slhul Like maybe over the high holidays or something by the way La’ shana Tova Genya!
Next year in Jerusalem OK!?
She emigrated for Poland... interesting.
Greetings from Poland.
Poland is awesome. Your citizens courageous ,noble and FREE.And the food is so, so good !
