Transmissions :: Lucy Sante

The great writer Lucy Sante joins us on Transmissions to talk about her latest book, I Heard Her Call My Name: A Memoir of Transition, Bob Dylan, fashion, the early days of music journalism, The Velvet Underground and more: “I didn’t meet anybody who listened to The Velvets, until I got to college in ‘72. But it felt then there was a secret society of us all over the globe. It’s like that Eno quote about ‘everybody who heard the first album went out and started their own band.’ Well, everybody who heard the second album, I don’t know. I guess we all turned into other kinds of weirdos.” Plus, Scott Bunn of Recliner Notes joins us in the intro to discuss Sante’s singular way with words.
