This is It… Out of 700 INTERVIEWS… This is my FAVORITE of ALL TIME! | Professor of Rock

Poll: If you could have dinner with any musician living of dead...Who would it be?

Even better than 1 million subscribers, your Dad said you gave him “one of the best experiences of his life.” That’s priceless. Well done, Adam.

Thank you Adam - This episode in particular was bittersweet for me as my Dad was very similar in sharing his passion for music with me. After months of illness as he lay unconscious and near death in a California hospital I flew home from Australia where I now live and I brought a CD player into his room with a playlist of his favourite artists which I had made just for his passing - it included Paul Simon, Miles Davis, Van Morrison, The Who, Yes, the Beatles, Dave Brubeck and many other rock and jazz artists. As I sat by his side listening to music with him, though he was unconscious, he reached for my hand and squeezed it just before he passed. My Dad had amazing taste in music but he was not a hugger or toucher, that was the first time my Dad held my hand since I was a child. I was the only family that visited him in the hospital as he lay dying and it had a profound effect on me to witness his passing while the soundtrack of our lives played loud in that quiet Montery hospital. It was one of the hardest but most meaningful nights of my life, so thankful I experienced it. Thanks Adam for reminding me of the bond music can create in life and even in death.

I love this interview! My only criticism is: IT'S TOO SHORT!!!!! Learning more about you, hearing the people who love you speak of you, it brings tears. You DO have an incredible gift, an incredible memory and a beautiful way of bringing out the person behind the fame. You are so very real, Adam, so very open and respectful. Yeah, this needs to be longer. We need part 2.

I hate it when teachers say stupid stuff like, "you can't do it" because often, as in your case, they are dead wrong. Congratulations on winning the gold medal for career development in your graduating class by following your passion and getting good enough to allow you to make a living at it. That is a very special achievement!!

This should have definitely have been a 1-2 hour video! 17 minutes flew by like nothing! Bring us the sequel! ❤

Congrats Professor on 1 million subscribers! It was cool to meet you and interview you for my channel. Thank you.

This video should have been titled “Why you should listen to the Professor of Rock”

I was born in Pocatello, Idaho and have family from Blackfoot! When I watch your videos I feel that there is another person on the planet who is just as obsessed with music and the back stories as me! ❤ My hope is that we can inspire the next generation, alpha to keep this great music alive! My two youngest boys are such fans of music like their Momma, with my 10 year old dreaming of seeing and meeting Jeff Lynn from ELO in his lifetime. Harry loves all your interviews and we love to share in these stories together! Thank you for keeping the music alive for us all! ❤

Dude, I was going to pass this video up. I really was. I am 52 yrs old, and I can say that not watching this would have been one of my biggest mistakes. What a truly BEAUTIFUL love letter to your passions and inspirations. The respect that is passed between you and the artists you interview is so wonderful to watch. For us to be a "fly on the wall" as some of the most PROLIFIC artists of our lifetime sit down to chat with one of the most studius of music historians is magnificent to behold. I had forgotten about Sam Goodie! The pieces with your loved ones are so touching. Your channel is phenomenal. I won't doubt you again lol

Professor of Rock, best thing out of Idaho since potatoes and Napoleon Dynamite ! One of my favorite parts of his interviews is the delighted surprise when the subject realizes that the Professor is informed and actually knows what he is talking about :-))

So happy for you Prof. You deserve even more subscribers. As a retired teacher I want to apologize for any teacher who ever told anyone that they would not amount to anything. Don’t listen to them and follow your heart and dreams. Prof. Rock is the perfect example of leaning all you can and utilizing it. Education can be schooling, self taught and life experiences. You don’t need a ton of degrees to succeed. The lack of education is the road to slavery. Don’t ever let someone enslave you because you don’t know.

I was born in 1993 so I’m a millennial baby I discover you when you first interview Huey Lewis I’ve been a fan of yours for five years I started get into classic rock since high school and I’ve been loving every minute of it and I watch your videos every single day. Thank you for the great interviews

Adam, you are a Class Act. You deserve all the accolades you receive and many more. Thanks for you you do

Congrats Adam! Well deserved. I'm glad to be a part of what you've created here. Keep up the great work. Your Dad would be proud.

Loved meeting your family and friends. I teared up when I saw your Dad. My Father and I had the same type of relationship. I was so uplifted when he said that Prince was genius. He has passed as well. Sometimes, when at work. Something like Bob Seeger fire lake comes on, and I have to excuse myself! Congratulations Professor!

Congrats Professor, you are truly and inspiration to all the oldies like me 😊 This the best interview on musicians I have ever seen. Thank you very much! And your dad, god bless his soul. You have made him proud for sure!

When I found out that my dad was sick, I started to interview him. I'm so grateful for that time. We both got to know eachother on a deeper level. I miss him so much. He truly was my hero.

Adam, This episode is now my favorite Professor Of Rock episode. And I do not say that to be trite...I say it with sincerity, because truly, YOU have always been what I like most about the Professor Of Rock channel. Your unique persona, style and delivery. Let's face it...there are lots of rock trivia YouTube channels...but there is only one Professor of Rock! ...Adam Reader! God bless you, Adam!

Thanks for inviting us into your world. It was nice to see your friends and family.
