Joel Bernstein is interviewed on The Bob Lefsetz's Podcast:
"Photographer Joel Bernstein has tales that boggle the mind, like accidentally shooting the cover of Neil Young's "After the Gold Rush" as a high school student...you'll love his stories!"
The After The Gold Rush LP cover is a solarized print of slightly out of focus photograph by Joel Bernstein of Neil Young walking past a building on the campus of the New York University School of Law. The art direction and design is by Gary Burden.

ReplyDeleteIs this working?
DeleteYes, it works.
DeleteApparently it does. However, our contemporarians are engaged otherwise, maybe hanging on to their hats and wallets, shuffling their assets. All that in order to weather incoming inflation surges. Neil Young is in the studio and anticipation grows with the open minded. The other ones are expecting rain...
ReplyDeleteOk, good to see comments. Sometimes system glitches out. If Comments don't seem to be operating. Refresh, etc
ReplyDeleteThanks Dionys. Good reminder on open mindedness. Goes with Change Your Mind and making a mental ... oh you guys know the drill.
living with war. love & war. be the rain. peace & love
again, we repeat ourselves...
Enjoyed listening to Joel on Bob's podcast. It's a long listen but he has had so many interesting experiences I could have happily listened to more.. A very talented guy and comes across very well. I knew some of his story but I was fascinated to hear how he got first started.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this. I've always loved Joel's work and to hear him talk about his life is wonderful. There is something about the way he (like Nils and Cameron) was accepted at such a young age by Joni, Elliot, Neil, Graham and the whole Laurel Canyon scene that I struggle to get my head around. But it points to how kind, constructive and hard working all these people were. It is sometimes easy to assume people got into the scene by just being in the right place at the right time, though the way Joel talks about how much time he spent on learning Joni's songs and mastering photography shows how you need to have a driving passion. Often, one makes one's own luck in life.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the total running time on this podcast I assumed it was an error as surely no one would sit down for that long of an interview. I was very happily mistaken. What an incredible thrill it was to experience the stories that Joel shared. His enthusiasm in telling his tales was matched by interviewer Bob Lefsetz’s insightful questioning. You could palpably feel the excitement of both of them as the interview progressed. I don’t think either one of them wanted the discussion to end. Neither did I. What a truly talented individual Joel is: Photographer, guitar tech, musician, vocalist, archivist. Oh the adventures Joel had & continues to have. He has a special knack for telling stories. Thanks for sharing this podcast Thrasher, Joel & Bob. I hope Joel releases a book of his photos as he mentioned.
