About this episode
Jesse Jackson interviews Dr. Rob Yonover about music, survival gear, and their shared experiences with Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan.
Host Jesse Jackson welcomes new guest Dr. Rob Yonover, a Hawaii-based scientist, inventor of military survival gear, and lifelong music fan. Rob recalls seeing Bruce Springsteen in Miami in 1975 and shares his connections to Perry Farrell, along with a deep love for Bob Dylan and a desert-island album pick list (Dylan’s "Highway 61 Revisited," Jane’s Addiction’s "Nothing’s Shocking," and Sublime’s "40 Ounces to Freedom"). Jesse shares his own three albums and how seeing Springsteen live in 2002 sparked an obsession that led to 20+ shows. They discuss album-focused listening, the downsides of phones and streaming culture, favorite concert stories, Rob’s Shark Tank experience with his StreamR invention, and the podcast’s “Mary question.,” http://seerescuestreamer.com/ 01:28 Meet Rob 02:13 First Springsteen Show 04:31 Desert Island Albums 07:24 Jesse Picks Three 09:50 Tracks 2 Overload 12:29 Growing Up in Miami 14:46 Album Listening Debate 17:44 Discovering Dylan 20:26 Jesse Springsteen Origin 23:57 Phones at Concerts 27:54 Wild Concert Stories 33:36 No Electricity Grandpa 34:14 Radio and Music Discovery 38:30 Becoming a Scientist 41:35 Volcanoes to Scholarships 43:20 StreamR…
