About this listen
Selected public episode of Walter Martin Radio Hour.The full weekly show, playlists, Classical Club, and archive live at waltermartin.substack.com.
In When I Was Seventeen, we talk about the music and art that moved us at that pivotal age—and how it pushed us toward our wildest dreams of becoming musicians.
My guest this week is Matt Berninger, solo artist and lead singer/lyricist of The National.
We spend about ten minutes on the age of seventeen, then dive into an hour of wide-ranging conversation: first shows, bands forming, the early 2000s in NYC, breaking into the music scene, songwriting, lyric writing, and how to keep a band together for decades.
Along the way we get into Ministry, The Thompson Twins, Brainiac, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Morrissey and plenty more.
