Woods Memorial Church Words and Music - Side 1 album 1 1974 Rev William Harvey & Walter Schurr ,

Ernie Brooks was a founding member of The Modern Lovers, one of the most important bands that paved the way for punk and new wave.  In addition to a musical life Ernie has a long history of political activism, which seems inexorably linked to his creativity.  As a young teenager he participated in the civil rights movement, traveling south to register voters and participating in the Selma to Montgomery walk. Later at Harvard as a member of SDS he participated in anti-war actions including the occupation of the Harvard administration building. Since then he has been active in a variety of local and national issues.

Ernie and I had a great conversation about inspiration, creativity and community.
