ROCK 'N" RESURRECTION
Jonny Podell was the baddest, boldest agent in rock, a savvy hustler who launched everyone from Alice Cooper to Gregg Allman while consuming more drugs than Keith Richards. Then he got so high he hit bottom. After losing his family, his job, his home and nearly his life, Jonny's back for a triumphant return engagement. This time, he promises to be good. BY MICHAEL GROSS | ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 14 JULY 1997 | NY MAGAZINE
JONNY PODELL WAS ONCE THE HOTTEST AGENT IN ROCK, A LUNATIC LEGEND as large as Keith Moon with a taste for drugs said to rival that of Keith Richards. But ten years later, Podell hit bottom- divorced, homeless, and cross-addicted to heroin, crack, Dilaudid, Valium, and a virtual pharmacopoeia of exotic uppers and downs. We’ve been talking about his astonishing comeback for several days. “I’m a guy that is very, very, very, very, very grateful,” he says in a stone-washed whisper. “I had nothin’. Nothin’. I lost almost everything.” Since then, Podell has slowly been crawling back to the top... After a decade in the desert, Podell is once again a kingpin; if you’re playing clubs and dreaming of stadiums, he’s the man to see. In the harshly competitive music business, he ranks as one of the three most powerful agents. “Jon is the finest agent in the history of rock and roll,” gushes Phil Walden, the legendary founder of Capricorn Records. But Podell is more than just another high-profile drug casualty: In a business that’s no stranger to self-destruction, he’s the ultimate rock-and-roll revival act, a rare happy ending.
