I think it's just Dan who's skyping in. He's the founder 16 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,480 of the band but we'll see if anyone else is with him. But I 17 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,159 love their sound. DC Wolves, great band they're going to be at. 18 00:01:49,159 --> 00:01:53,280 This Year's a Swarmy Fest coming up? Is it November fourth? I believe, 19 00:01:53,359 --> 00:01:56,439 so wow, just just about a month away. In fact, that 20 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,480 is why for those of you watching online, I'm wearying my Swarmy Fest from 21 00:02:00,599 --> 00:02:05,519 last year, so I love this shirt and I'm sure I'll get one for 22 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,560 this year as well. Jenny and I will be there, we will be 23 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,360 participating, in fact, representing, and really looking forward to that. But 24 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,759 yeah, there's gonna be great bands there this year. Of course sepsis headlining 25 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,759 as always, and really looking forward to that. But DC Wolves, what 26 00:02:17,879 --> 00:02:23,280 a cool sound I love. I love this band, so I'm really looking 27 00:02:23,319 --> 00:02:27,240 forward to talking to Dan and whomever else might be with him today at five 28 00:02:27,319 --> 00:02:32,840 pm. Also, today is the first Thursday of the month, which means 29 00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:38,479 that today, immediately after this show, I will be jumping on the phone 30 00:02:38,479 --> 00:02:43,439 and calling into the Doctor Kevin Show, as I do the first Thursday of 31 00:02:43,479 --> 00:02:46,800 every month from six to seven pm. That streams online on the ome Times 32 00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:52,639 Radio network oom as an omeome Times dot com you can find it and if 33 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,439 you don't get a chance to listen live. Of course it'll be in the 34 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:59,199 archive, but we do that the first Thursday of every month, and we 35 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:04,400 talk about news and current events and politics, and so there's always plenty to 36 00:03:04,479 --> 00:03:07,319 discuss, that is for sure. And by the way, it is perfect 37 00:03:07,319 --> 00:03:10,199 for those of you and you know who you are. If you get to 38 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:15,000 the end of this two hour block of time and you say to yourself, 39 00:03:15,039 --> 00:03:19,479 oh my god, I need more Matt Connerton, well, as long as 40 00:03:19,479 --> 00:03:22,479 you don't mind sharing me with Doctor Kevin, there's a way that you can 41 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,879 get an extra hour of me. And I do end up doing most of 42 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:30,159 the talking. It's probably the only person ever on the Doctor Kevin Show who 43 00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:31,719 winds up doing most of the talking, but he does kind of seed the 44 00:03:31,719 --> 00:03:38,199 floor to me somewhat because I'm more immersed in all things politics than he is 45 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:43,400 himself. But he enjoys having me on because he enjoys the discussion. And 46 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,120 I think, I think this might be our friend, easyg. How about 47 00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:50,240 this? I think he's gonna do. He's gonna do an entertainment report perhaps 48 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,599 maybe how are you EASYG? Boy? I didn't know who was singing that 49 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,360 song, but boy, that was a long song. Well, there were 50 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,280 two songs. I played two songs from DC Wolves all right, and we're 51 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,479 gonna play more. I've never heard that band. They were pretty good the 52 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,479 other Oh, they're really good. Yeah, we're gonna play You have a 53 00:04:04,479 --> 00:04:09,479 lot of uh he's like a lot of bands on the last whiles as I've 54 00:04:09,479 --> 00:04:12,400 called up before us. Right, yeah, absolutely, Jenny's doing a great 55 00:04:12,479 --> 00:04:16,040 job of political shaw. You do bring in bands typing, you live in 56 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,759 the studio, you see a lot of pictures, so that's great. Yeah. 57 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,160 Well, we've always had an element of music. It's a word to 58 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,519 get out there, the music, you know. That's right. Well, 59 00:04:25,519 --> 00:04:28,439 we've always had an element of music with musical guests, but you know, 60 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,199 since the start of this year we've really tried to ramp that up, and 61 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,839 Jenny's doing a great job with the booking and uh Adam Ember's band. They 62 00:04:34,879 --> 00:04:39,439 were and seeing them in the Frischman's Park a couple of years ago, and 63 00:04:39,439 --> 00:04:43,439 they said, music is to be music is then to be heard. They 64 00:04:43,439 --> 00:04:45,879 said, if you don't have any money for a CD, it's just coming 65 00:04:45,959 --> 00:04:48,480 to booth there for the show and I'll give you a pre CD. Who 66 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,959 is that one Adam Ezra band. Is that Emers band? Yeah, yeah, 67 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,639 I've interviewed Adam Ezra a long time. He probably doesn't even remember it 68 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,199 was. It was over a decade ago, but uh I entered. Yeah, 69 00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:01,480 they're really doing very well. Yeah. Oh yeah, yeah, great 70 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,120 band. No, And it was a little bit of a long intro today 71 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:09,879 because I was trying to finalize something else. I've got a hypnosis event. 72 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,399 I need to let Peter White know this. He might be listening, but 73 00:05:12,519 --> 00:05:15,399 I should alert him. I haven't done this yet. On October twenty six 74 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,120 I will not be here live, so I'll have to prepare a new best 75 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,839 of for that day or something because I'm going to be in Providence for I'm 76 00:05:23,879 --> 00:05:28,319 going to hypnotize a room full of real estate agents, so that'll be fun. 77 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,399 So I'm really looking forward to that.

That is the secret. 84 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,079 Just turn the volume all the way up, Turn it up to eleven. 85 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,560 Are you a spinal tap fan? Turn it up to eleven.

I 171 00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:16,440 also want to say the movie of the week, I have you ever heard? 172 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,759 This movie is called The Kissing Booths exclusively on Netflix where they found out 173 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:26,559 yes today that's there and when it prices up, I'm surprise and uh yeah, 174 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,919 one, two, and three, and they were probably gonna make a 175 00:12:28,919 --> 00:12:31,600 couple more. It's a really good movie. But it's not a movie for 176 00:12:31,759 --> 00:12:35,840 kids under fourteen. But doesn't mean they can't walk it right? Well, 177 00:12:35,879 --> 00:12:37,960 that depends, easy g. Why is it not for kids under fourteen? 178 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,840 Well? Uh, seam in theirs. But hey, once stop kids were 179 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,960 walking unless the parents. If I put eye on them, hey, what 180 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,759 are you gonna do? And then they I got so many news. The 181 00:12:50,799 --> 00:12:52,840 restaurant of the week I went to there about the Moth a couple weeks ago, 182 00:12:52,879 --> 00:12:56,120 called the Old Fault. You heard that restaurant? It's from the beach 183 00:12:56,159 --> 00:13:00,240 area. I don't know, but I'm worried that this computer is possessed because 184 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:09,360 we were talking about demonic possession yesterday. Listen to this EAZYG WHOA what is 185 00:13:09,399 --> 00:13:15,159 that anyways? That sounded like a bad I had a big fish, had 186 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,759 a big lunch, and I mean big dinner. I had some lunch and 187 00:13:18,799 --> 00:13:24,360 then I ordered to see this tells at dinner later. So what highly recommend 188 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,039 it? I enjoy a caesar salad. I think it's delicious, although I 189 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:33,279 have a suspicion that if I looked up caesar salad at Urban dictionary dot com, 190 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,519 I would find something truly horrifying. Yeah, and also at the end 191 00:13:37,519 --> 00:13:41,360 of the report here we're gonna do a song of the week.

And I'm not 246 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,759 a fan of Sully's vocals other than that, I like the music, but 247 00:17:27,079 --> 00:17:33,119 I've just never liked his vocals. However, I have been I was once 248 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,920 in a band that did play a god Smack cover. Well actually we played 249 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:44,839 well different Godsmack covers at different times, but so some of the songs are 250 00:17:44,839 --> 00:17:49,480 fun to play, but not a fan of Sully's voice. All right, 251 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,599 well, okay, but then I'm going to list all these events coming up, 252 00:17:53,839 --> 00:17:57,000 and because the tickets were all the sales for these events and we'll repeat 253 00:17:57,039 --> 00:18:00,480 them every week.

I bet you're a 260 00:18:26,279 --> 00:18:30,680 fan of this band November thirteenth, Tool. Do you like that music? 261 00:18:30,039 --> 00:18:36,240 I like Tool, I never loved Tool. If you're a big fan, 262 00:18:36,319 --> 00:18:40,920 that's gonna play at seven to fifteen casual weeks later November twenty fourth. I've 263 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,599 seen this band when not live, by just having to work there trans Severian 264 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,119 Orchestra at three pm and seven pm. They're really good. Yeah, this 265 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:55,160 show is they come here every year every uh for the cod obviously December ninth 266 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,400 a hollypop. This is a really big show anymore, but it's the Boston 267 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,720 Pop. And I always remember remember that time I worked there one time and 268 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:03,359 they said, hey, Texas and they call it bikes. I was saying, 269 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,079 not Texas. Mic They said, when you can do a job where 270 00:19:07,079 --> 00:19:10,759 we need to clean up the tables and you know, put all the carries 271 00:19:10,799 --> 00:19:12,359 away. But he said he needs to do much tonight. He just sat 272 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:18,079 down. He had a lot of food that people left behind. That story 273 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,960 never gets told. That story was fifteen and sixties. Professional bull riding is 274 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,640 coming unlease the beasts and they haven't least of times. Yep. But the 275 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,119 Me and Rocky went there a couple of years ago, believe it. And 276 00:19:30,319 --> 00:19:33,880 when the new arena is basically opened when when the COVID back in twenty twenty 277 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:38,160 one in the fall, and then this show I've seen before, it's really 278 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,480 it's not as good's it used to be, but still fun for the family. 279 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,240 Hammond grows throughout a twenty twenty four world tour two pm and seven pm 280 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,880 December twenty eighth, and this is way far away. But you cant tickets 281 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:53,279 for all these fun shows, they said, Disney on ice again and they 282 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:59,839 canna be doing uh seven shows. And last year they had a big ruckus 283 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,640 because there was a big snowstorm. And around that time, people are all 284 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,759 keeeed off because they couldn't go through the arena. It's all, can we 285 00:20:06,799 --> 00:20:08,599 think cancel the event? Blah blah uh. They offered to take us for 286 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,200 another show, So people wrote a lot of bad stuff on it on on 287 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,079 Facebook about that. What are you gonna do? Right? The fans, 288 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,200 the people already there, you know, it's hard to just reschedule all this 289 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,279 stuff. What are you gonna want to hear? You know? Sways in 290 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:23,599 January so it's always a crap too. With the weather, it's gonna be 291 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:29,720 good or it's gonna be disaster. Mm hm. Anyways, figure disasters. 292 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,759 I'm sure you've been following what's going on in the world. I think of 293 00:20:32,799 --> 00:20:34,519 that too. Yeah, I can't believe that that guy Edge went to a 294 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,880 w What do you think of that move? Yes, but he's no longer 295 00:20:38,079 --> 00:20:41,200 Edge. He is Adam Copeland his real name. Of course. I think 296 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,279 it's cool. It's used to be full time, but I'm not how it's 297 00:20:44,319 --> 00:20:47,319 gonna work out. He's alost fifty years old, so he's in shape. 298 00:20:47,319 --> 00:20:49,799 It doesn't matter. He is the same show. That's a big crew for 299 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:55,000 them, isn't it. That is a big coup and they get to use 300 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,880 because WWE, of course does not own the rights to that song metal English 301 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,640 medal I can't at metal ingis by alter Bridge. He gets to use his 302 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:07,119 regular theme music too. I think it's great. We got a lady from 303 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,920 eight. We got a lady from a W I never heard over because I 304 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,279 should have heard the names down. But he's seen him going back and forth. 305 00:21:14,279 --> 00:21:17,319 I don't think it really matters anymore. They go back and forth all 306 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,000 the time now we know. I don't know. But anyways, I was 307 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:22,279 I was no mercy the other day. And if you haven't see that one 308 00:21:22,519 --> 00:21:26,960 nx C. No, we're not pretty good. We have not watched that, 309 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:30,440 but I do enjoy an exca's events was pretty good too, because December 310 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,519 I don't know if I talked about that, but that's old fast Line is 311 00:21:33,559 --> 00:21:34,680 coming up. I don't think it's really gonna be a good show. They 312 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,119 got that crazy John Seen is back in town, do you know why? 313 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,160 And the Rock was there the other day because see people making movies are on 314 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,599 the strike.

But it's going to be in Australia. 321 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:15,720 That's way far away Australia. That's a whole other continent. But they're 322 00:22:15,759 --> 00:22:18,319 trying to get then email you know, well they are. It's called WW 323 00:22:18,519 --> 00:22:22,759 for reasons, you know that's right. Then a W tries the next year. 324 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,160 I'm think gonna try for it. They're probably gonna do it. They 325 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,640 want at pay review every month like that WW does. Yeah, we're gonna 326 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:36,559 try to do their platform like a they're trying to do a platform on Cinemax 327 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,720 Hour or something. Max. It used to be has Peacock, it's Max. 328 00:22:40,839 --> 00:22:42,640 It used to be HBO Max. Now it's now they just call it 329 00:22:42,799 --> 00:22:48,039 Max. Right, so they got a lot of money. They're not going 330 00:22:48,079 --> 00:22:52,759 anywhere anytime too. And that's the store. That's right. That's time to 331 00:22:52,799 --> 00:22:55,759 be a wrestling fan.

Yeah. 607 00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:16,119 So so it was kind of interesting because we followed Sepsis at least for 608 00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:22,039 a while, because they have such an interesting online presence. You know, 609 00:49:22,119 --> 00:49:25,800 they're doing podcasts, they're doing all kinds of stuff, and so when we 610 00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:29,480 saw the announcement for it, we're like, oh, it would be kind 611 00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,159 of neat to get on, and here we are. They pointed us to 612 00:49:32,199 --> 00:49:36,559 you guys. Oh I'm glad, yeah, very glad. Yeah, they 613 00:49:36,639 --> 00:49:38,880 do a lot they're very good, you know, like you said, with 614 00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:45,639 their online presence, they're pretty advanced in that way, and it's wonderful to 615 00:49:45,679 --> 00:49:47,000 see. It's wonderful to have that association with them. They've been on the 616 00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,800 show a bunch of times, and we do feature a lot of their music. 617 00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,119 And Jenny and I we were at last year's Swarmy Fest and we're looking 618 00:49:53,159 --> 00:49:55,559 forward in fact, and we're on the shirt today and we're looking forward to 619 00:49:55,599 --> 00:50:01,079 being involved this year as well. Now, So this this band, So 620 00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:05,039 Dan, this started with you? Right? Did this kind of from what 621 00:50:05,159 --> 00:50:07,880 I was reading online? Did this kind of grow out of a solo project 622 00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:14,119 that you were doing initially? Right? So it started back in twenty eighteen. 623 00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:16,079 I was playing in another band at the time, but I was getting 624 00:50:16,079 --> 00:50:22,000 the itch to start writing on my own. I don't know, I just 625 00:50:22,039 --> 00:50:23,639 wanted to kind of explore that a little more and it was more of like 626 00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:27,719 a challenge to myself to see if I could do it. Yeah, and 627 00:50:28,079 --> 00:50:30,320 you know, lo and behold, I was able to come up with, 628 00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:35,079 you know, a full length version of other songs, and then you know, 629 00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,679 slowly started putting the pieces of a band together, and you know, 630 00:50:39,199 --> 00:50:42,800 that's how I got involved with John too. You know, he's helped me 631 00:50:43,079 --> 00:50:47,000 realize the whole vision, which is great, excellent. So so John, 632 00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:51,840 now what do you do in the band? Because obviously you know it started 633 00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,440 with Dan and then he credits you with really helping him put this together. 634 00:50:54,599 --> 00:51:00,280 So what's what's your role in DC Wolves, John? I play guitar. 635 00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:06,440 I basically pick up all the parts that Dan wrote that that are too difficult 636 00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:08,559 to play and sing at the same time. Yeah, so he hands over 637 00:51:08,639 --> 00:51:13,880 all the heavier, uh, the more intricate riffs to me. But like 638 00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:17,039 it's it's been really cool working with Dana. I'm my backgrounds, I've got 639 00:51:17,079 --> 00:51:21,760 a metal background, so this was completely different from me and uh Dan. 640 00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:25,119 Dan and I met up because I was working on a different project and that 641 00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:29,159 project didn't work out. But Dan was looking for a guitar player for this 642 00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:30,760 and I was like, you know what, this seems really cool. I 643 00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:34,239 want to I want to see if this works. So I learned a couple 644 00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:37,199 of songs, met up with the guys, and end up joining up and 645 00:51:37,159 --> 00:51:42,760 really love it. Excellent. Yeah, is that the leads? Is that 646 00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:45,679 all you are? You doing? All the leads, the solos, Dan, 647 00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:49,679 Dan's like I live, I do, but I'm not on any of 648 00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:52,840 the recordings. Dan did all the recordings himself. Oh I got you, 649 00:51:52,039 --> 00:51:55,559 I gotcha, Yeah Dan, I love those solos. They're really melodic and 650 00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:04,119 very very tasteful. I took a lot of David Gilmore inspiration because he's not 651 00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:08,480 necessarily I mean, he's technically proficient, but not like you'd see like a 652 00:52:08,559 --> 00:52:14,199 metal guitar player. But his lines tend to talk. You know, you 653 00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:20,079 could go and you could sing a David Gilmore solo. True, And so 654 00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:22,920 I took that as kind of how I wanted to do it. You know, 655 00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:27,679 it's not too complex, but it's also something that you could hum along 656 00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,639 to. Yeah, I forget who I heard say it, but there's somebody 657 00:52:31,039 --> 00:52:35,480 I heard say once. I wish I could remember who it was. Oh, 658 00:52:35,519 --> 00:52:37,679 maybe it was David Gilmore, but somebody said that. As a lead 659 00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:44,000 player, part of what you should try to do is tell another part of 660 00:52:44,159 --> 00:52:46,280 the story. You know, whatever the story is that the lyrics are telling. 661 00:52:46,679 --> 00:52:50,320 When your solo comes up, you want that to be more of the 662 00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:53,639 story and not something that's kind of because you know the way some guitarists approach 663 00:52:53,679 --> 00:52:57,199 it they're not concerned with that, and it ends up being this whole other 664 00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:00,679 thing that doesn't necessarily sound like it's part of the story, which is fine, 665 00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:04,320 obviously it doesn't matter, but but it sounds like what you're doing it 666 00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,639 really kind of fits with the verses in the way that you're continuing the story. 667 00:53:07,679 --> 00:53:10,880 At least that's how my ears sort of sort of interpret it. And 668 00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:14,360 maybe it was David Gilmore who had said that. I don't know, but 669 00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:20,639 he's definitely he's definitely a master of capturing the mood of a song. Oh 670 00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,960 yeah, oh yeah. I mean that's my favorite part of Pink Floyd because, 671 00:53:24,039 --> 00:53:29,320 to be honest with you, I've never been a big Pink Floyd fan 672 00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,719 only because a lot of those songs, I'm just only there for the solo, 673 00:53:34,559 --> 00:53:37,719 you know, like a song like Comfortably Numb. I, to be 674 00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:39,920 honest with you, it kind of bores me a little bit, except I'm 675 00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:44,760 there for the solo, do you know what I mean? I know most 676 00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,320 people love Pink Floyd. I just I just love I just love David Gilmore, 677 00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:51,559 to be honest with you, you know what I mean? Or that's 678 00:53:51,599 --> 00:53:53,599 a hard one for me because honestly, I'm there for the entire thing, 679 00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:59,199 Like, yeah, they were La song as echoes, So take that what 680 00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:00,480 you will mean? Yeah, yeah, well no, I mean I'm the 681 00:54:00,519 --> 00:54:05,199 weird one. I know that because I'm probably I'm probably the only person who's 682 00:54:05,199 --> 00:54:07,639 ever said that I'm just there for the solo. Is anybody else? You 683 00:54:07,679 --> 00:54:08,920 know, they're there for the whole thing. But no, I mean, 684 00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:14,199 I respect I respect Pink Floyd of course and all the members. But yeah, 685 00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:16,559 but but yeah, I love a good I love a good Pink Floyd 686 00:54:16,639 --> 00:54:22,400 solo. Can you tell me about Dan Did you write all these songs yourself? 687 00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:27,800 Or did did John have a part in that? Or tell me about 688 00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:32,039 the songwriting process. Sure? So in the songs that are out right now, 689 00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:38,840 those were all just me. So I the only with the exception of 690 00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:43,840 the drums, because I can write drums on a keyboard. I can play 691 00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,599 some simple stuff. But ultimately in the recordings, I had somebody come in 692 00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:52,360 and work with me. Now on future recordings, we're working on stuff as 693 00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:58,079 a group. Now it's time, you know. I like the process of 694 00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:02,920 working on my own, but there's something about collaborating with other people and sharing 695 00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:07,760 ideas that's really exciting. And it's just great to be in a room with 696 00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:09,599 people who are all excited about the same thing as you work on it. 697 00:55:12,599 --> 00:55:16,400 In terms of songwriting process, I tend to start with the idea of what 698 00:55:16,559 --> 00:55:21,039 I want to sound the song to sound like before I've even written anything. 699 00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:24,800 So, you know, on an album like Predator, which is probably a 700 00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:30,159 lot of the songs that you're going to be sharing tonight, you know, 701 00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:34,880 I'll start with, Okay, I want something to start this section of the 702 00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,880 album off with a bang, or okay, let's get a little introspective or 703 00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:40,960 slower, or I want something with a better beat. So say, if 704 00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:45,039 I want to have something with a beat, I'll start with the bass and 705 00:55:45,119 --> 00:55:50,280 drums as opposed to guitar riffs, and then I kind of work off that 706 00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:53,599 way, so if I get something really thumping, I can kind of build 707 00:55:53,639 --> 00:55:57,599 the song from there, and also focusing on mood. Do I want it 708 00:55:57,639 --> 00:56:00,880 to be slow? Do I want it to be do I wanted to be 709 00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:06,119 upbeatn fun? You know, That's kind of where I come from. Yeah, 710 00:56:06,559 --> 00:56:09,239 it's interesting to hear you explain it, because it sounds like a really 711 00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:15,519 different approach than the way a lot of songwriters do it a lot of people 712 00:56:15,559 --> 00:56:17,119 I talk to, you know, it's kind of like a melody occurs to 713 00:56:17,199 --> 00:56:22,639 them, or some lyrics occur to them, and and it's they're they're kind 714 00:56:22,679 --> 00:56:24,960 of and then they go from there. But but it sounds like you're really 715 00:56:25,039 --> 00:56:28,559 kind of building it from the ground up in the sense that when you're writing 716 00:56:28,599 --> 00:56:31,119 a song, you know, you're starting with things like you know what the 717 00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:35,159 mood is or what the you know what the beat's going to be, and 718 00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:39,000 you're kind of really just just starting at the very bottom and just kind of 719 00:56:39,079 --> 00:56:44,360 building up. It's it's interesting, have you always approached it that way because 720 00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:49,880 you've been You've been at this a while obviously with different projects before you really 721 00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:52,760 started with DC Wolves. So has the process changed it all over the years. 722 00:56:54,119 --> 00:56:58,000 It has. And I wasn't always a songwriter. For a long time. 723 00:56:58,199 --> 00:57:01,119 I was the bass player in several bands, and so I think a 724 00:57:01,199 --> 00:57:06,719 lot of my songwriter comes from that, where I'm starting with what rhythm is 725 00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:09,800 going to work under what people are playing over the top of things, you 726 00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:13,239 know, what are the guitar players doing, and what can I make that's 727 00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:17,519 interesting to listen to but still kind of covers, you know, a rhythm 728 00:57:17,679 --> 00:57:22,679 kind of guitar part because the way my previous band worked, we had me 729 00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:27,119 as a bass player and the drummer kind of filling the rhythm section, and 730 00:57:27,199 --> 00:57:30,719 our guitar player would would not solo, but he would use a lot of 731 00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:36,880 effects and make kind of soundscapes. So I kind of started with that because 732 00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:40,039 I would take whatever he was doing on guitar and try to make some kind 733 00:57:40,079 --> 00:57:45,960 of mood out of that, and it just kind of evolved from there. 734 00:57:46,079 --> 00:57:50,280 You know, I learned a lot about songwriting from the other people that I 735 00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:52,239 worked with, and so eventually I started getting the itch on my own, 736 00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:55,639 and you know, you go with what you know. I was never taught 737 00:57:55,719 --> 00:57:59,880 formally, so you know, that's how I learned, and that's how I 738 00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:04,599 continue to work. Yeah, I love these, Like I said, I 739 00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:07,280 love all the tracks that you sent us. I played a couple of them 740 00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:10,760 at the start of the show today and you're getting a great response to in 741 00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:15,800 the Facebook live chat. How do you describe your sound to people who haven't 742 00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:19,239 heard it, because it's you know, I can I can hear a mix 743 00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:24,119 of influences, but I also I can't think of your vocals remind me of 744 00:58:24,199 --> 00:58:29,599 somebody, but I can't quite place who it is. But but I but 745 00:58:29,719 --> 00:58:32,400 I can't think of another band at least that I've heard recently that you really 746 00:58:32,639 --> 00:58:38,320 sound quite like. I think there's I think there is a uniqueness to your 747 00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:42,239 sound. So how do you describe it to people who've never heard you? 748 00:58:45,159 --> 00:58:47,719 I guess I would kind of, you know, I'd stick to probably the 749 00:58:49,239 --> 00:58:52,760 hard rock realm, because I have a lot of you know, when when 750 00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:55,840 I was really catching on to music, that was like the new metal era, 751 00:58:57,079 --> 00:58:59,719 right, yeah, so grunge had just happened, and then the Late 752 00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:02,239 nighties and all of those bands do one temple pilots and that kind of stuff. 753 00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:07,519 So it's kind of specific. But I would kind of describe it as 754 00:59:07,559 --> 00:59:10,840 stoner rock a little bit because I tend to write or I tend to like 755 00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:17,119 to write a lot of riffs, yeah, and I also like to have 756 00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:22,719 the melody, so I can write some very you know, hard hitting riffs, 757 00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:25,159 but also be singing over with as catchy as I can come up with 758 00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:31,880 of a vocal line. So it's it's kind of balancing the line between rock 759 00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:35,880 and metal folks, lind of somewhere in between, and that's kind of where 760 00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:38,239 I like to go with it. What do you think, John, what 761 00:59:38,559 --> 00:59:42,960 would you agree with me on that? Yeah, I would definitely. It's 762 00:59:43,239 --> 00:59:45,880 it's definitely we're I don't know, I think the realm that we're in it's 763 00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:50,519 it's like we're kind of a throwback to a lot of ninety stuff, but 764 00:59:50,599 --> 00:59:54,320 we also have some like some parts that are definitely influenced by NERR bands as 765 00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:59,840 well. So it definitely falls in the realm with like alternative rock, but 766 01:00:00,119 --> 01:00:02,760 on the harder age. Yeah, and it doesn't sound you know, I 767 01:00:04,119 --> 01:00:07,320 definitely hear the nineties influence, but it but it sounds uh, you know, 768 01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:12,599 it sounds modern and contemporary. It doesn't sound like I guess what I'm 769 01:00:12,599 --> 01:00:15,800 trying to say is, to me, it doesn't sound like something that you 770 01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:22,400 would necessarily put to any particular era, you know what I mean, which 771 01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:25,519 is and I mean that as a compliment. It's it's it doesn't sound like 772 01:00:25,599 --> 01:00:30,480 it's from necessarily any one specific time. You know, if if you told 773 01:00:30,519 --> 01:00:31,880 me that this came out in the nineties, I would have believed you. 774 01:00:32,519 --> 01:00:38,079 But but I if I had no idea that it had been recent and you 775 01:00:38,199 --> 01:00:40,519 told me, yeah, this came out recently. I would also believe you 776 01:00:40,719 --> 01:00:45,079 does that make sense? Yeah, it does, it does, And I 777 01:00:45,159 --> 01:00:49,000 think that makes a lot of sense because you know, the first one of 778 01:00:49,039 --> 01:00:52,039 the first concerts I went to with my parents was Tom Petty. They brought 779 01:00:52,079 --> 01:00:54,400 me to Moody Blues and like a bunch of those bands, and then start 780 01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:58,760 getting into as I growing up the nineties, you know, I was a 781 01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:00,280 little late on that, so kind of on the tail end of the nineties. 782 01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:04,880 But also you know, Nirvana of course, and Pearl Jam is still 783 01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:07,800 kicking and doing their thing. But then more modern bands, Queens of the 784 01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:13,280 Stone Age, Arctic Monkeys, you know, lots of untold metal bands. 785 01:01:14,599 --> 01:01:16,519 Yeah, yeah, and I can I can hear I can hear the Queens 786 01:01:16,519 --> 01:01:22,719 of the Stone Age influence certainly, just as one example. And by the 787 01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:27,400 way, so this is now Predator is your your sophomore release right with this 788 01:01:27,519 --> 01:01:31,000 project, So there's there was something before a Predator for this band, Yes, 789 01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:36,360 there was. You've Been Careless was the first one that was my first 790 01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:43,599 foray into that, and that was that was I think twenty I want to 791 01:01:43,599 --> 01:01:47,159 say twenty nineteen, and then Pandemic happened kind of around the time I was 792 01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:52,119 working on Nighthawk, which was just an EP that's about four tracks, and 793 01:01:52,199 --> 01:01:59,119 then Predator was recorded while things were you know, everyone's masking up and all 794 01:01:59,239 --> 01:02:01,960 that. So, yeah, it was an interesting time. It was very 795 01:02:02,039 --> 01:02:06,360 creative, and I think that's partly because it was kind of a shitty. 796 01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:09,760 Oh he's a bad time. Sorry, we're on a delay. I caught 797 01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:15,480 it. Yeah, that's been It's been a consistent subject that comes up on 798 01:02:15,559 --> 01:02:21,639 the show when talking with musicians is how, you know, the pandemic obviously 799 01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:23,320 was terrible, but we have to find these silver linings where we can. 800 01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:29,679 And one of the silver linings is it really a lot of creativity and a 801 01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:35,280 lot of great work came out of that time period. And I always say, 802 01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:38,400 too, you know, as bad as it was, we are fortunate 803 01:02:38,519 --> 01:02:42,559 in a sense. It sounds strange to say it this way, but we're 804 01:02:42,599 --> 01:02:45,360 fortunate in a sense that had happened when it did, because if it had 805 01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:49,880 happened twenty years earlier, or even ten years earlier, before we had as 806 01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:53,639 much technology as we have now, I think there it would have been much 807 01:02:53,679 --> 01:03:00,639 more difficult for musicians and other creative people too to really produce a lot of 808 01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:06,400 work, you know, yeah, without without doubt, ten years ago, 809 01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:10,480 you didn't have any the capabilities you got now. Like technology is really springboard 810 01:03:10,519 --> 01:03:15,000 in the last decade. Like most people have home recording studios now, you 811 01:03:15,079 --> 01:03:17,719 didn't have that ten years ago. Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely, And 812 01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:22,880 the ability to you know, easily just email tracks back and forth if you're 813 01:03:23,039 --> 01:03:27,159 you know, working on a song remotely with people and or or get on 814 01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:30,360 zoom. And you know, something we saw a lot at the height of 815 01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:35,360 the lockdowns is uh, you know some of these classic bands, you know, 816 01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:40,320 getting on Zoom together and doing live performances together from different remote locations just 817 01:03:42,599 --> 01:03:45,920 just incredible the creativity that came out of it. So, like, like 818 01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:47,440 I said, we have to find these silver linings where we can. But 819 01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:53,199 yeah, so now, so are you already working on new material now that 820 01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:58,440 it's now that you're working as a band and the two of you guys plus 821 01:03:58,519 --> 01:04:01,400 the other guys in the band, are you have you already started recording new 822 01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:09,320 material or are you still kind of promoting Predator? So we're at the point 823 01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:13,239 where we're just about done with the demos. It's going to be another EP 824 01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:16,960 and other four songs, and we are working on the scheduling piece. Okay, 825 01:04:17,079 --> 01:04:19,639 so working out with the studio when we can get in there and make 826 01:04:19,679 --> 01:04:23,760 it, make it happen. So we're very close to getting started with that. 827 01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:28,039 Excellent, and this will be this will be all four of you on 828 01:04:28,159 --> 01:04:32,639 the on the new EP. That's correct. Excellent, excellent. Yeah. 829 01:04:32,679 --> 01:04:35,440 You know a lot of great bands, you know, start with UH with 830 01:04:35,639 --> 01:04:39,840 one person and then you know, it starts out a solo project and then 831 01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:44,760 it grows into into UH into something else. So it's it's cool to see. 832 01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:46,199 I mean, you know, Food Fighters being the obvious example. So 833 01:04:47,599 --> 01:04:50,280 was that Dan? Was that kind of the goal from the beginning with this? 834 01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:55,960 When when you started this UH DC wolves as UH, when you started 835 01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:59,480 doing this by yourself, was it always the idea in your mind that you 836 01:04:59,559 --> 01:05:01,320 know, you would in somebody like John and bring in some other people and 837 01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:04,119 then it would grow into a band. Did you know that from the beginning 838 01:05:04,239 --> 01:05:06,760 or did it start out as you know, we're going to see where it 839 01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:11,920 goes. I think it was more of a we'll see where it goes, 840 01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:15,239 and as we kind of got more comfortable with each other, it just seemed 841 01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:18,840 to make sense. And I really like and I really, like I indicated 842 01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:24,559 before, I really missed the collaborative process of working with other people. And 843 01:05:24,639 --> 01:05:28,199 then, you know, the way we're doing it right now is we're writing 844 01:05:28,199 --> 01:05:30,920 a lot of parts on our own, you know, and sending them. 845 01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:33,360 Yeah, as you said, you know, use used dropbox all the time, 846 01:05:33,559 --> 01:05:36,559 you know, we have our whole project folders in there, and then 847 01:05:36,679 --> 01:05:40,800 getting together when it's time for practice, and then we play it live in 848 01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:44,800 a room and by then we've already constructed most of the song. And you 849 01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:47,679 know, it's it's actually really exciting to write things that way because you all 850 01:05:47,719 --> 01:05:53,360 get together and get to hear it firsthand the way you always imagined it in 851 01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:58,800 your head, right, And did the two of you work together you you 852 01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:00,880 might have mentioned this already, give me, but did the two of you 853 01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:05,679 work together musically prior to DC Wolves? Is that how you knew each other? 854 01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:12,360 And we actually, I mean that through a project that I was working 855 01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:15,599 on. It was like a dual metal project and Dan came down, so 856 01:06:15,679 --> 01:06:20,679 I try out for vocals and unfortunately, just the pairing of everybody together in 857 01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:26,079 that project, it didn't. It petered out pretty quick after that. That's 858 01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:29,679 like when I contacted Dan was like, hey, you know, I kind 859 01:06:29,719 --> 01:06:32,480 of got the age to play live. It was like right after Lockdown started 860 01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:36,280 getting lifted and everything, and I was and so I hit up Dan was 861 01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:39,960 like, hey man, you're looking for the guitar player because I think I 862 01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:43,800 can play this stuff. Cool. Cool, there you go. And then 863 01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:48,360 how quick did it come together with the other guys? If I remember right, 864 01:06:48,519 --> 01:06:50,639 and correct me if I'm wrong. John, the time, you were 865 01:06:50,719 --> 01:06:54,519 the last piece of the puzzle that we needed. Yeah, oh yeah. 866 01:06:56,039 --> 01:07:00,840 Joe the drummer and I had already been playing together or pre Pandemic a little 867 01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:05,280 bit, and we had kind of constructed a band. We had done a 868 01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:10,639 three piece for a short time, which was difficult. As John indicated, 869 01:07:10,719 --> 01:07:14,440 it's tough to play all of the guitar parts and sing at the same time. 870 01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:18,360 You really don't get any break when you're doing that. So Pandemic happened, 871 01:07:18,559 --> 01:07:21,639 no band for a little while, got back together with Joe, and 872 01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:27,639 then recruited Andy on bass, who is also contributing a lot of the background 873 01:07:27,719 --> 01:07:30,760 vocals. Oh, John was the last piece of the puzzle. Excellent, 874 01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:34,440 excellent, very good, And we have a call. I think easyg is 875 01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:36,239 on the line. I think he has a question for you guys, and 876 01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:40,760 I think I can guess what it might be. Easy is that you I 877 01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:43,559 haven't called up. I haven't called up during one of your rock and roll 878 01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:45,800 stuff, is there? I was just wondering that the band has ever played 879 01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:49,920 in Canada. I knew that was going to be the question. You guys 880 01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:56,360 ever play in Canada? Would love to play in Canada? I don't know 881 01:07:56,400 --> 01:08:01,159 about John having a passport, but I do. I get one pretty quick. 882 01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:03,519 Oh there you go, there you go? Does that answer your question? 883 01:08:03,599 --> 01:08:08,360 Easy? Okay, that's the only question you guys? All right, 884 01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:13,599 thank you? Yeah, cana does a big country. Where where would you 885 01:08:13,679 --> 01:08:17,439 like us to play? That's part? Yeah. I've always heard Montreal is 886 01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:21,119 a really good metal scene, but I don't know Montreal. Yeah, there 887 01:08:21,159 --> 01:08:26,039 you go? You visited? What's that? What'd you say? It's a 888 01:08:26,079 --> 01:08:29,880 great I used to work for a bunch of metal record labels and I've went 889 01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:32,159 through Montreal a bunch of times on different tours, and it is a great 890 01:08:32,239 --> 01:08:36,279 metal city. They love metal there. Yeah. Yeah, I've never been, 891 01:08:36,359 --> 01:08:41,399 but that's what I've always heard. Oh so you've got so you've got 892 01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:45,399 some other do you still do do you still work in the music industry, 893 01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:48,079 John No, no, no, I actually work at a shop now. 894 01:08:48,359 --> 01:08:51,680 Oh okay, oh wow, very good. Well that's that's cool. That's 895 01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:56,920 you know, you get to do something something else that's also creative. Very 896 01:08:56,960 --> 01:09:00,279 cool. How long did you you worked for late What did you do for 897 01:09:00,359 --> 01:09:03,600 these labels? I worked. I worked as a merchandiser for a bunch of 898 01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:09,640 bands I worked for. I worked for Central Media Records and Ah worked for 899 01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:15,159 Candle Light Records for a handful of years in the early two thousands and kind 900 01:09:15,199 --> 01:09:18,560 of got burnt out from it and then stopped doing music for a bunch of 901 01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:21,239 years, and then met Dan kind of when I was trying to get my 902 01:09:21,319 --> 01:09:26,760 foray back into it. So excellent, excellent working for Century Media that must 903 01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:30,279 have been cool. It was awesome at the height that I was doing it. 904 01:09:30,359 --> 01:09:33,760 They were they were They were just massive, and everybody that worked there 905 01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:38,239 so much fun. Like they had a bunch of record labels under the same 906 01:09:38,359 --> 01:09:42,159 roof, so you had the entire Central Media family, had Abacus Records, 907 01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:46,159 Nuclear Class USA was under the same UH label as them, and then there 908 01:09:46,239 --> 01:09:49,760 was three other subsidies I can't remember the name of, but and everybody worked 909 01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:53,640 in the same building. It was really awesome. Oh wow, that's that's 910 01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:58,680 fantastic. How long did you work for them? About four years? Four 911 01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:02,439 years? Yeah, Yeah, it's interesting. I had We had a Conrad 912 01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:05,960 where on the show who worked at what was the name? He was in 913 01:10:06,079 --> 01:10:10,359 Boston. He worked at a big label in Boston and now the name escapes 914 01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:13,920 me, but but he kind of he did what what you did? Uh? 915 01:10:14,039 --> 01:10:16,279 And a merchandiser and uh, but he said the same It's so funny, 916 01:10:16,319 --> 01:10:18,560 he said the same thing. He just got he loved it, but 917 01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:21,279 he got to a point where he just got burnt out with it. But 918 01:10:23,359 --> 01:10:26,840 yeah, the industry will do that to you. Oh. It was like 919 01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:29,600 at that time, I had I had an apartment, I was running in 920 01:10:30,079 --> 01:10:34,439 mass shows and apartment I was running in California, and I wasn't there for 921 01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:38,279 like nine months out of the year in each each place. So I was 922 01:10:38,359 --> 01:10:40,840 like, why am I spending all this money on these places? I need 923 01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:44,039 to settle down and get my finances in order. And that was like part 924 01:10:44,079 --> 01:10:47,279 of the burnout too. Being in the road's rough, man like it really 925 01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:51,880 it kicks a crap outy after a while. Yeah, it's absolutely. It's 926 01:10:53,199 --> 01:10:55,720 I have a little bit of experience with that, and it's it's not it's 927 01:10:55,760 --> 01:11:00,279 not as glamorous as people think you're. You're not a lot of a lot 928 01:11:00,319 --> 01:11:02,520 of legwork. Yeah, you're not flying around on a private jet and you 929 01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:06,239 know, just having fun, that's for sure. That's for sure. A 930 01:11:06,319 --> 01:11:09,640 lot of a lot of standing around, a lot of waiting around. Then 931 01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:14,720 one's time ago, you got to go exactly exactly. So what's fast food 932 01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:17,000 too? Oh, no doubt. Yeah, yeah, it's not not the 933 01:11:17,079 --> 01:11:26,920 healthiest lifestyle. Yeah, yeah, living a gas station food. So so 934 01:11:27,039 --> 01:11:30,079 what's kind of the long term Do you guys have a long term trajectory for 935 01:11:30,199 --> 01:11:32,680 DC Wolves Do you have do you have any any specific goals? Are you 936 01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:35,640 looking to go on tour or anything like that, or what's what's the plan 937 01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:40,880 or is there a plan? Well, I think for next year, we're 938 01:11:41,199 --> 01:11:45,800 looking to do some short tours and really get out there. I mean this 939 01:11:45,119 --> 01:11:49,079 was more or less a building year. You know. We we spent time 940 01:11:49,159 --> 01:11:53,079 getting the band together, the four of us gelling, and then you know, 941 01:11:53,199 --> 01:11:56,520 played a bunch of shows this year and now as we're starting to write, 942 01:11:56,640 --> 01:12:00,239 you know, once we actually have that EP to get other and ready 943 01:12:00,279 --> 01:12:02,840 to release. You know, it's time to time to get out there and 944 01:12:03,039 --> 01:12:06,920 and and actually show some people. So you know, I think New England, 945 01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:12,760 Pennsylvania, New York, some of those areas are probably the make the 946 01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:17,159 most sense to start with. Yeah, yeah, no doubt. Are all 947 01:12:17,279 --> 01:12:20,119 Are all four of you guys in Connecticut? Are you all kind of kind 948 01:12:20,159 --> 01:12:26,520 of close to each other geographically? Two of us in Connecticut and two of 949 01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:32,000 us are in Massachusetts. So Joe is in Westfield and Andy is up in 950 01:12:32,439 --> 01:12:34,840 the Worcester area. So he's got a bit of a haul. Yeah, 951 01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:39,119 yeah, not worth it though, I like I said, I mean, 952 01:12:39,159 --> 01:12:41,880 I love your sound. I love what you guys are doing. By the 953 01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:45,039 way, it might be an odd question. I'm probably the only interviewer who 954 01:12:45,199 --> 01:12:49,479 asks guests this question. But but there's a reason. So I really like 955 01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:53,359 your website. Do you guys, does one of you do the website? 956 01:12:53,439 --> 01:13:00,600 Or who does the website? So I actually work with a PR. I 957 01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:03,880 don't want to call it a firm because it's a single person, but I 958 01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:09,640 have a PR person that actually does a lot of the social media and website 959 01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:13,840 design and that kind of stuff. And it's somebody I worked with that I 960 01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:17,199 started working with when I was still doing it on my own because you know, 961 01:13:17,279 --> 01:13:21,720 I was writing and producing all this music, but it was kind of 962 01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:28,079 a lot for one person to then also be spending time online doing posts and 963 01:13:28,159 --> 01:13:32,039 doing all this stuff. So I got connected with with with her and this 964 01:13:32,199 --> 01:13:38,520 is Noisegate pr is what they're called, okay goes by. Her name is 965 01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:43,399 NaIO, and she's done a great job. You know, we worked we 966 01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:46,119 have regular meetings talking about Okay, here's our release plan, what's coming up, 967 01:13:46,159 --> 01:13:49,159 what shows are coming up, you know, making sure that we're getting 968 01:13:49,159 --> 01:13:53,840 all the flyers out there and the event invites. And she's always looking for 969 01:13:53,920 --> 01:14:00,439 opportunities to you know, get on and shows like this for instance. And 970 01:14:00,359 --> 01:14:03,760 we just work great together. So I can't take credit for the design of 971 01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:06,720 the website. It's her, Like I help out with the info. But 972 01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:11,560 that's about it. Yeah, No, that's great, and yeah, shout 973 01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:14,359 out to her. The reason I part of why, well, there's really 974 01:14:14,399 --> 01:14:17,359 two reasons I bring it up. One is so I'm a web designer myself, 975 01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:21,560 so I look at and I analyze websites a lot. But number two 976 01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:28,039 is I see a lot of artists who have websites that are not great. 977 01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:31,159 So when I see a band with a website that I think is really good, 978 01:14:31,279 --> 01:14:35,119 I just have to say, you know, well done, well done, 979 01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:39,279 Neo. Yeah, this is a really good website. So I'm a 980 01:14:39,359 --> 01:14:43,880 website nerd. What can I say. I appreciate it, and I think 981 01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:46,800 it's a great tool to even if it's not the main page because a lot 982 01:14:46,840 --> 01:14:51,520 of people find artists on Spotify or something like that. Yeah, but it's 983 01:14:51,560 --> 01:14:56,319 a great tool to have that you can have all of your links to everything 984 01:14:56,439 --> 01:15:01,560 you've got available, not to mention things like you know, uh say an 985 01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:06,119 ePK. So so an ePK being a collection of information that you would send 986 01:15:06,159 --> 01:15:12,479 out to a publisher or an interviewer or something like that that might have articles 987 01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:15,880 about you or reviews and a collection of videos and those kinds of things. 988 01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:19,479 So it's really like it ends up being a marketing hub in a way. 989 01:15:20,319 --> 01:15:27,359 Oh absolutely, it's so it's so critical more than some people realize. And 990 01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:30,800 the pictures are really good too. Now does she does she do your your 991 01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:38,439 press photos too? Now, we worked with various various photographers, but I've 992 01:15:38,520 --> 01:15:43,119 always liked to work with people in the area to kind of support different artists 993 01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:46,720 in all kinds of different areas. So you know that some of the artwork 994 01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:51,640 and stuff has been used by graphical designers that we know, or in some 995 01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:58,600 cases even like companies like five or so photographers. We've used the various ones 996 01:15:58,640 --> 01:16:00,640 in the area. We've tried different people for all kinds of different sets of 997 01:16:00,680 --> 01:16:04,720 photos. And you know, it's great. You gotta you gotta, you 998 01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:10,159 gotta support the scene. Yep, yep, absolutely, and it's and it's 999 01:16:10,239 --> 01:16:14,840 worth doing not only to support the scene, but it helps your presentation online 1000 01:16:14,880 --> 01:16:16,840 as well. And this is really good. I'm very impressed. So I 1001 01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:19,680 just wanted to I just wanted to say that give you I wish I wish 1002 01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:26,000 every uh, everybody that I interviewed put as much time and and importance into 1003 01:16:26,079 --> 01:16:30,239 that part of it. So so excellent, excellent, We appreciate that. 1004 01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:33,000 Yeah, absolutely, guys, this has been wonderful. And I'm gonna let 1005 01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:34,600 you go. In a couple of minutes, I'm gonna play another one of 1006 01:16:34,640 --> 01:16:39,079 your great tracks, lie Down. This is another one that I absolutely love. 1007 01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:43,640 But but before we do that, so obviously we were just talking about 1008 01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:46,680 at DC wolves dot com all the links are there to all your social media 1009 01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:50,039 and Spotify and all of that. Anything else you want our listeners to know. 1010 01:16:50,119 --> 01:16:53,720 You got any shows coming up this weekend. Obviously you're gonna be at 1011 01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:57,640 Swarmy Fest that's next month, but really looking forward to that, But anything 1012 01:16:57,720 --> 01:17:00,239 coming up in the meantime too that you want our listeners to be away of. 1013 01:17:00,720 --> 01:17:03,279 Wormyfest is going to be the next one for us, and then after 1014 01:17:03,319 --> 01:17:06,840 that we're getting back to recording. We've got some personal stuff going on in 1015 01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:13,520 the meantime, so we do have to make time for our own live yeah, 1016 01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:15,039 of course, of course. Yeah. Well all of this, I 1017 01:17:15,119 --> 01:17:17,960 mean, this is more time consuming than people might realize, you know, 1018 01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:25,439 writing and recording music and playing shows and everything. It's funny people who have 1019 01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:28,880 never been a musician, I'm sure you encounter this don't realize how much work 1020 01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:30,159 that it really is. But kind of like what we were talking about earlier, 1021 01:17:30,199 --> 01:17:34,239 it's not all it's not all glitz and glamour. There's a lot that 1022 01:17:34,319 --> 01:17:38,840 goes into it. There's a lot that goes into it. So all right, 1023 01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:42,560 well we'll let you go.

But I really love your sound and like I 1027 01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:56,039 said, I can't think of anybody who's doing it quite like you're doing it 1028 01:17:56,159 --> 01:17:58,880 right now. I can't think of anybody else out there who I think quite 1029 01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:00,920 has your sound. So, uh, that's that's cool too. It's it's 1030 01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:04,319 good to hear something, uh, you know, something that's unique. But 1031 01:18:04,840 --> 01:18:08,279 thank you guys so much. We'll let you go.

You know, we've been talking a lot lately on the show about 1128 01:29:13,520 --> 01:29:18,239 Bob Menendez, Senator of New Jersey, who's been in some trouble. Did 1129 01:29:18,319 --> 01:29:28,319 you know his wife killed somebody? Yeah, this happened back in twenty eighteen. 1130 01:29:28,880 --> 01:29:32,600 It was apparently a hit and run that didn't get a whole lot of 1131 01:29:32,680 --> 01:29:36,279 attention. Or maybe not. Uh, I'm gonna got some attention, but 1132 01:29:36,840 --> 01:29:43,600 maybe not sufficient attention from law enforcement. I mean, this Bob Menendez story, 1133 01:29:43,680 --> 01:29:47,680 it just there, just continues to be more and more wrinkles to it. 1134 01:29:47,760 --> 01:29:50,119 And what I'm actually gonna do is I'm gonna play you a little bit 1135 01:29:50,159 --> 01:29:56,119 of audio. This is from Lawrence O'Donnell's show on MSNBC last night. Uh. 1136 01:29:56,319 --> 01:30:01,479 He delivered a pretty scathing takedown of uh Menendez and his wife Nadine I 1137 01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:05,520 believe is her name. I mean, this is something we're learning about on 1138 01:30:05,680 --> 01:30:11,039 top of everything else, all the ethics struggle. Oh hello to glennar J 1139 01:30:11,079 --> 01:30:13,359 will Let the People's mayor by the way, who I see in the Facebook 1140 01:30:13,439 --> 01:30:16,079 laugh chat. But I mean I could read what he said, but I 1141 01:30:16,159 --> 01:30:20,760 think I think we should play This'll let you hear it in his own words. 1142 01:30:20,840 --> 01:30:26,560 This is how Laurence O'Donnell apparently opened his show last night on MSNBC. 1143 01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:33,199 The life of indicted New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez is much darker than we realized. 1144 01:30:33,680 --> 01:30:40,359 The breaking news of the day is that Robert Menendez's wife killed someone. 1145 01:30:41,840 --> 01:30:45,119 Senator, there's a report that your wife was potentially involved in a hit and 1146 01:30:45,199 --> 01:30:48,520 run back in twenty eighteen. Do you have any comment on that that was 1147 01:30:48,560 --> 01:30:59,199 a tragic accident, And obviously we think of the family. He's lying. 1148 01:31:00,199 --> 01:31:04,000 They don't think of the family. They have never communicated with the dead man's 1149 01:31:04,119 --> 01:31:11,199 family in any way. In December of twenty eighteen, Robert Menendez's girlfriend, 1150 01:31:11,439 --> 01:31:15,560 who was on her way to becoming his second wife, hit a pedestrian who 1151 01:31:15,760 --> 01:31:21,680 was crossing the street at seven thirty pm and killed him. His name was 1152 01:31:21,800 --> 01:31:26,720 Richard Coope. He was forty nine years old. The New York Times reports 1153 01:31:26,960 --> 01:31:31,359 today quote His body was thrown to the curb just steps from his home and 1154 01:31:31,560 --> 01:31:38,199 badly mangled. The police reports indicate she was never tested for drugs or alcohol 1155 01:31:38,600 --> 01:31:44,359 and was allowed to leave the scene not long before mister Coop was declared dead 1156 01:31:45,279 --> 01:31:49,760 at a nearby hospital. Richard Coope's sister told the New York Times quote, 1157 01:31:50,359 --> 01:31:56,640 the family really has had serious concerns over what we felt was a very sparse, 1158 01:31:57,000 --> 01:32:02,359 one sided investigation. We felt that the whole thing was very silently swept 1159 01:32:02,520 --> 01:32:09,960 under the rug. The only problem missus Menendez seemed to face after she killed 1160 01:32:10,000 --> 01:32:15,359 someone was how to replace the damaged car. According to federal prosecutors, Robert 1161 01:32:15,399 --> 01:32:19,680 Menendez and his wife took a bribe in the form of a sixty thousand dollars 1162 01:32:19,720 --> 01:32:26,680 Mercedes Benz C three hundred convertible to replace the damaged car. The indictment of 1163 01:32:26,760 --> 01:32:32,199 Robert Menendez and his wife contains a text message from her saying all is great 1164 01:32:32,399 --> 01:32:39,399 exclamation point. I'm so excited to get a car next week exclamation point. 1165 01:32:40,479 --> 01:32:45,239 The indictment says she told the man who was bribing them that she would quote 1166 01:32:45,840 --> 01:32:53,880 never forget this. So you've killed a man with a car, and you 1167 01:32:54,039 --> 01:32:59,920 are so excited to get a car next week, not even slightly traumatized about 1168 01:33:00,119 --> 01:33:04,079 driving, not in any way. And the thing you say you will never 1169 01:33:04,239 --> 01:33:12,239 forget is the bribe that got you the car, not the man you killed. 1170 01:33:13,760 --> 01:33:18,600 The indictment contains a text message that seemed creepy enough when all we knew 1171 01:33:19,119 --> 01:33:25,199 it was describing was an alleged bribe, But now that we know that it 1172 01:33:25,359 --> 01:33:31,560 is the reward missus Menanda's got after killing someone, it reads as sickeningly perverse. 1173 01:33:33,119 --> 01:33:39,840 She wrote to New Jersey's senior senator, Congratulations, Mona more de la 1174 01:33:39,960 --> 01:33:46,279 Ville. We are the proud owners of a twenty nineteen Mercedes. She got 1175 01:33:46,359 --> 01:33:51,479 that car only because she killed someone with her previous car, and she calls 1176 01:33:51,560 --> 01:34:00,359 herself a proud owner of the new car, the bribe car. And while 1177 01:34:00,439 --> 01:34:04,560 she's at it, she congratulates her future husband, the senator, for taking 1178 01:34:04,680 --> 01:34:12,319 what federal prosecutors call a bribe, for which they are now both criminal co 1179 01:34:12,680 --> 01:34:20,640 defendants who have pleaded not guilty. So there you have it. That is, 1180 01:34:20,920 --> 01:34:28,720 uh, that's the latest on Bob Menendez and his wife Nadine, who 1181 01:34:30,119 --> 01:34:34,439 you know, maybe on their way to prison, because you know, see, 1182 01:34:34,479 --> 01:34:41,479 sometimes that's what happens, is you you know, somebody's charged with something, 1183 01:34:42,279 --> 01:34:45,119 and you know, we can talk about other examples, but we don't 1184 01:34:45,159 --> 01:34:46,760 have a lot of time left on today's show. But sometimes you know, 1185 01:34:46,840 --> 01:34:50,319 someone's charged for something and investigated for something, and then you find out, 1186 01:34:51,119 --> 01:34:57,119 uh, you know, you start finding finding out all these other sort of 1187 01:34:57,199 --> 01:35:03,880 tangential details about things that they've done, and you realize that it's so much 1188 01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:08,640 worse than you might have thought. And part of why I say that is 1189 01:35:08,920 --> 01:35:13,720 as I reflect back on because when the when the story first broke about Bob 1190 01:35:13,800 --> 01:35:18,439 Menendez, Senator from New Jersey, about him being indicted and you know, 1191 01:35:18,560 --> 01:35:25,880 been being charged with various bribery schemes and so forth related to what he had 1192 01:35:25,920 --> 01:35:29,520 already been charged with back in twenty seventeen. And it was a hung jury, 1193 01:35:29,640 --> 01:35:32,279 so he was never convicted of anything. And I remember talking about that 1194 01:35:32,479 --> 01:35:34,800 on the show at the time. That was I think that was one of 1195 01:35:34,880 --> 01:35:40,960 the first subjects on the show since I had started here, started doing the 1196 01:35:41,000 --> 01:35:43,960 show here at WM ANDH. I even remembered we were in the old studio 1197 01:35:44,119 --> 01:35:48,640 upstairs, and so I remembered all of that vividly. And then Bob Menendez 1198 01:35:48,680 --> 01:35:51,359 he was again it was a hung jury, so you know, he wasn't 1199 01:35:51,399 --> 01:35:56,279 convicted of anything, but wasn't acquitted either. So so then that was the 1200 01:35:56,359 --> 01:35:58,880 end of that. And of course now it's all come back around and there's 1201 01:35:58,960 --> 01:36:02,159 new charges and so forth, most of it related to what he had been 1202 01:36:02,239 --> 01:36:06,640 charged with before, but not exactly of course. And uh, and now 1203 01:36:06,720 --> 01:36:11,760 we're we're learning all this other stuff. But that's that's what tends to happen 1204 01:36:11,920 --> 01:36:15,960 when you and that's why you know, you hear these expressions like where they 1205 01:36:16,039 --> 01:36:20,920 smoke this fire. Sometimes there's uh fires you didn't expect to find and then 1206 01:36:20,960 --> 01:36:25,279 you you know, yeah, what what I always tell people is that we 1207 01:36:25,600 --> 01:36:30,600 have to keep this in mind, is this is a great example. See, 1208 01:36:31,239 --> 01:36:34,920 we never would have known, we probably the general public, we never 1209 01:36:34,960 --> 01:36:40,359 would have known that any of that had happened had it not been for Bob 1210 01:36:40,399 --> 01:36:44,600 Menendez and his wife Nadine, because they are co defendants, co conspirators in 1211 01:36:44,680 --> 01:36:49,000 their their bribery, their partners in crime. As we say, you know, 1212 01:36:49,640 --> 01:36:56,880 we wouldn't know about this story had these other charges not happened. And 1213 01:36:57,920 --> 01:37:01,960 it sounds like from what I was reading earlier, because Laurence O'Donnell, he 1214 01:37:01,960 --> 01:37:05,319 doesn't get into all the details there that that was just the opening segment on 1215 01:37:05,399 --> 01:37:13,119 his show, but you know, it sounds like they, like the police 1216 01:37:13,399 --> 01:37:18,560 in that area, they did this is my impression from what I read. 1217 01:37:18,840 --> 01:37:21,439 We'll learn more in the coming days, i'm sure, but it sounds like 1218 01:37:21,560 --> 01:37:27,199 they kind of did the bare minimum of what they had to do to look 1219 01:37:27,359 --> 01:37:34,359 like they were sufficiently investigating this, you know, because you you want to 1220 01:37:34,399 --> 01:37:42,359 sort of placate the family of the dead person, mister Coop again from their 1221 01:37:42,399 --> 01:37:45,960 perspective, but so you know, and mollify them, but also and you 1222 01:37:46,039 --> 01:37:50,479 want the community to feel like you have sufficiently done your job, while at 1223 01:37:50,520 --> 01:38:00,039 the same time not actually doing anything to upset Senator Menendez and his future wife. 1224 01:38:00,159 --> 01:38:12,000 Because this is what I always say it is we have a system, 1225 01:38:13,439 --> 01:38:17,520 not on paper, not by the letter of the law, but we do 1226 01:38:17,680 --> 01:38:26,039 have a system implicitly, an unspoken sort of system in this country where the 1227 01:38:26,159 --> 01:38:31,720 wealthy, the powerful, the elite, uh, we try not to hold 1228 01:38:31,760 --> 01:38:34,600 them accountable. And when I say we, what I really mean is it's 1229 01:38:34,680 --> 01:38:40,159 just again I'm talking in a broad sense about the system we as individuals who 1230 01:38:41,159 --> 01:38:45,920 would be probably charged with manslaughter or something for you know, I mean, 1231 01:38:45,960 --> 01:38:48,800 I assume she didn't intentionally run the man over, but she did. She 1232 01:38:48,960 --> 01:38:54,720 killed him. That's an undisputed fact here, right, she killed him. 1233 01:38:58,640 --> 01:39:03,640 But the wealthy, the powerful, the elite largely are protected from being held 1234 01:39:03,680 --> 01:39:11,319 accountable for what they do. And this is just another example of it. 1235 01:39:11,439 --> 01:39:19,000 And it's something to just be aware of. We have there are certain elements 1236 01:39:20,640 --> 01:39:29,000 that allow for that to happen. Part of it is and this might sound 1237 01:39:29,119 --> 01:39:31,600 like a like a tangent, but it really isn't. Part of it is. 1238 01:39:31,640 --> 01:39:34,600 You know, I talk a lot about how and I have for all 1239 01:39:34,600 --> 01:39:41,359 the years I've been doing this show about my distaste for this binary two party 1240 01:39:41,439 --> 01:39:45,800 system that we have, because what happens is when it comes to accountability and 1241 01:39:45,880 --> 01:39:49,960 holding people accountable for what they do. And Bob Menendez is a professional politician, 1242 01:39:50,000 --> 01:39:56,720 obviously a Democratic senator from the state of New Jersey, in our system 1243 01:39:56,840 --> 01:40:00,560 when it comes to holding politicians accountable, with exceptions, and and Ndez is 1244 01:40:00,640 --> 01:40:03,000 turning out to be an exception. Right, So there are exceptions, but 1245 01:40:03,319 --> 01:40:09,840 generally, broadly speaking, Republicans only want to hold Democrats accountable, and Democrats 1246 01:40:09,920 --> 01:40:14,840 only want to hold Republicans accountable. And like I've always said, imagine if 1247 01:40:14,880 --> 01:40:16,760 you worked at a company, some sort of a corporation, and you were 1248 01:40:16,800 --> 01:40:21,920 in middle management, and maybe you don't have the ethics and morals required to 1249 01:40:24,119 --> 01:40:30,960 keep yourself from somehow being abusive or untoward or unprofessional with people in lower management, 1250 01:40:30,960 --> 01:40:33,960 people who work beneath you. But imagine what you could get away with 1251 01:40:34,119 --> 01:40:38,640 as a middle manager if you didn't have ethics and morals. Imagine what you 1252 01:40:38,760 --> 01:40:41,840 might be able to get away with if you knew for a fact that in 1253 01:40:42,079 --> 01:40:45,880 upper management only fifty percent of the people in upper management would actually ever be 1254 01:40:45,960 --> 01:40:50,000 interested in holding you accountable for your mouth feasance, because the other fifty percent 1255 01:40:50,279 --> 01:40:54,760 would be willing to look the other way or do whatever they have to do 1256 01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:59,560 to actually protect you. Right. Well, that's how it is in American 1257 01:40:59,600 --> 01:41:05,119 politic part of the reason why the wealthy, the elite, the powerful, 1258 01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:11,640 why they're able to get away with what they do, is very often again 1259 01:41:11,720 --> 01:41:19,520 i'm speaking in politics specifically, really only fifty percent of Americans, of those 1260 01:41:19,560 --> 01:41:23,199 who are paying attention to any of this, only fifty percent of them are 1261 01:41:23,239 --> 01:41:27,199 interested in old thing that individual accountable. The other fifty percent will use what 1262 01:41:27,319 --> 01:41:33,239 aboutism or excuses or justifications or rationalizations for that person's behavior or say, oh, 1263 01:41:33,319 --> 01:41:38,039 it's just fake news or whatever it is. Right. So that's only 1264 01:41:38,520 --> 01:41:42,359 I'm not saying that that's the whole reason why the elite are so well protected. 1265 01:41:42,560 --> 01:41:45,079 That's actually only a very small part of it. But it is a 1266 01:41:45,159 --> 01:41:48,199 part of it. It is a part of it. And so that's just 1267 01:41:48,239 --> 01:41:54,319 another example of why we have to break that sort of mental partisan logjam that 1268 01:41:54,399 --> 01:41:59,720 people love to be in so much, in their little ideological bubbles where they 1269 01:41:59,800 --> 01:42:04,199 think that everyone they don't like is a bad person in some way, but 1270 01:42:04,279 --> 01:42:11,560 everyone they do like walks on water when in reality there's a lot of evil 1271 01:42:12,239 --> 01:42:17,000 to go around. Okay, we are just about out of time. We 1272 01:42:17,079 --> 01:42:20,720 are going to close with one more track from this great band.
