Show Notes

“Compared to the pop music that I was listening to at the time, there just seemed to be something deep and mysterious and enigmatic and sexy and scary about classic rock” – Steven Hyden Steven Hyden (@Steven_Hyden) is a music critic. He currently works as a culture critic for UPROXX where he writes about all things music and hosts the Celebration Rock podcast. His book, Twilight of the Gods, is out now. In this episode of Deviate, Rolf and Steven discuss the genesis of Classic Rock (2:00); the experience of interacting with music and how that interaction has changed over the years (12:00); Rock & Roll as an aging art (25:00); and how we reckon with the transience of music (36:00). For more from Steven, check out his UPROXX article archive at https://uproxx.com/author/steven-hyden/ Notable links: Notable music bands / music artists mentioned: The Deviate theme music comes from the title track of Cedar Van Tassel's 2017 album Lumber.
