Music
Welcome to the first episode of Music In Medicine with The Rock Doc, Neil Ratner! Joining Neil today is a man who's name younger generations might not know, but he helped shape Rock & Roll as we know it, Mario 'The Big M" Medious. Mario came up in a time when not only music was undergoing a huge evolution, but so was radio formatting. In this first of a two-part interview, Mario tells us about growing up in Mississippi when it was still segregated; his interest in photography leading him to photograph bands when he was stationed in Europe; starting out as an accountant at Atlantic Records, then moving up to promotions and navigating this new world of FM radio; plus stories about Jimi Hendrix, Chuck Berry, Otis Redding, Duane Allman, and more! This week's medical segment is about the heart, inspired by Mic Jagger's recent heart valve surgery.
