WTF with Marc Maron Podcast

Episode 1645 - Peter Wolf

22 May 2025

Description

Peter Wolf didn’t want to write the typical rock and roll memoir filled with lurid tales and score settling. Instead he wanted to write a collection of short stories that stem from his serendipitous encounters with everyone from Marilyn Monroe to David Lynch. Peter tells Marc how he wrestled with his own memories to write the book, how he drew from his friendships with Bob Dylan, Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker, and how he got right with the topics he wanted to avoid, namely his time with The J. Geils Band and his marriage to Faye Dunaway. Sign up here for WTF+ to get the full show archives and weekly bonus material! https://plus.acast.com/s/wtf-with-marc-maron-podcast. Hosted on Acast.

Hi, Backmarket hier. Die mit der erneuerten Technik, die dich weniger kostet. Wie dieses Handy. Es kann alles, was Handys halt können. Nicht nur diesen nervigen Spam-Anruf ignorieren. Es kann texten, anrufen, chatten, snoozen, liken, entliken. Einfach alles, was ein brandneues Handy kann. Aber das hier ist deutlich günstiger. Denn es ist nicht neu. Es ist von Profis auf Herz und Nieren geprüft.

Is everything alright? I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay. A lot of different angles on that one. Today on the show, the magnificent Peter Wolff is here. I didn't know what to expect. Peter Wolff, the singer and songwriter and former frontman of the Jay Giles Band. There was a couple of Giles records that I listened to the fuck out of.

I mean, when Freeze Frame came out, oh man, in the early stuff, nothing, like the Jay Giles Band. They're the fucking Jay Giles Band, but this is Peter Wolf. He's of that band, but he's so much more. He wrote this book. called Waiting on the Moon. Now, this thing is kind of great because it is a memoir to a degree, but it's really a bunch of essays about the people he's met in his life.

150.059 - 158.843 Marc Maron

Some people who you know, there's, you know, connections there, like when he was in Cambridge. It's just, he's one of these guys that's kind of like, almost like a zealig.
