The Ripple Effect: The Music Commentary Radio Show  

It only took one moment for our esteemed colleague to become enamored with the psychedelic vibe of Strawberry Fields and only a few more for him to turn on the rest of the Ripple office. Joining us all the way from Poland, Wojtek Szadkowski, takes his place on the Ripple red leather couch and educates us on the world of Strawberry Fields.

When I was a kid, growing up in a house with Cat Stevens, Neil Diamond, and Simon and Garfunkle, the first time I ever heard Kiss's "Detroit Rock City," it was a moment of musical epiphany. It was just so vicious, aggressive and mean. It changed the way I listened to music. I've had a few minor epiphany's since then, when you come across a band that just brings something new and revolutionary to your ears. What have been your musical epiphany moments?


The Beatles. Listening to them and watching them and their attitude towards life – all this changed me forever. I learned how to be a rebel in a more creative and intelligent way than crashing windows on the street. King Crimson – and the song "The Court Of The Crimson King." I was crying and shaking while listening to it. Could not stop tears running from my eyes. God, this feeling was so intense it almost hurt. And the song "I'd Love to change the world (ten Years after) – I heard it on the radio just after the info about John Lennon's death. I recorded this song on both sides of my tape and played it over and over. This was the only song recorded on this 60 min long tape.
