Throughout time, great thinkers have recognized the importance of the thoughts we have. Quotes like garbage in, garbage out, or you are what you think ring true.
Ever felt the need to channel your emotions into something creative? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with Johnette Napolitano, the iconic lead vocalist and bassist of Concrete Blonde. Johnette, who now resides in Joshua Tree, California, shares her fascinating journey from rock stardom to composing film music and working as a gallery artist using reclaimed materials. She also cares for rescue horses, adding yet another layer to her multifaceted life.
Johnette opens up about her latest album, 'Naked', and her book, 'Rough Mix'. With over 25 years of admiration for her work, Eric and co-host Chris dive deep into her creative process. They discuss how she channels negative emotions into art and the role our environment plays in shaping our moods. Johnette's insights into balancing emotional repression and indulgence are particularly thought-provoking.
The conversation takes an intriguing turn as they explore the spiritual aspects of life, the significance of her song 'God is a Bullet', and her decision to will her property to The Desert Land Trust. Johnette also reflects on early career rejections and the timeless relevance of clichés. Life on tour isn't all glamour, and Johnette shares the ups and downs of maintaining relationships while constantly on the move.
She also touches on the impact of drug use and the importance of self-care on the road. The episode wraps up with a poignant reminder to cherish each moment and make the most out of life's uncertainties. If you're interested in how music can be a form of therapy or how to navigate the complexities of life with grace, this episode is a must-listen.
