Ep. 37: Journalist Walter Thompson's Many Brushes With Musical Fame
It’s not often that you get to meet your favorite musicians—unless you’re Walter Thompson. Walter is a San Francisco-based tech journalist, writer, and the host/creator of the Fund/Build/Scale podcast. He’s also had the good fortune to have met many music stars throughout his life. In this episode Walter talks us through five songs that bring to mind his most interesting encounters, and along the way we learn about his childhood love of great pop composers, his brief residence at Burt Bacharach’s Long Island motor lodge, the importance of having a “Cool Aunt” in the family, and what it was really like to work for Thomas Dolby.
Walter's Selections:
Dionne Warwick - "I'll Never Fall In Love Again" (1969)
Claude Bolling & Jean-Pierre Rampal - "Baroque and Blue" (1975)
Thomas Dolby - "Screen Kiss" (1984)
Public Enemy - "Bring The Noise" (1988)
Luscious Jackson - "Ladyfingers" (1999)
