Speaker 1: It's Night Side with Dan Ray on ws Boston News Radio.
Speaker 2: All I need to do is say one name, one name,
Speaker 2: and my full lines six one, seven, two, five, four
Speaker 2: ten thirty or eight eight, eight, nine, two, nine, ten
Speaker 2: thirty will go crazy.
Speaker 3: Bradley J. Is here, Bradley Day. Bradley J.
Speaker 2: Was a part of the WBZ fabric, originally part of
Speaker 2: the wbcn FM fabric, and we're lucky to have him.
Speaker 4: Well, it's good to be here. Before we take any calls,
Speaker 4: can I and I realized I have a question of
Speaker 4: you that I've never asked. What?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 4: So you're a person who seems to have an infinite
Speaker 4: uh repository of knowledge of facts, and I'm curious, is
Speaker 4: that some special uh talent or capacity you have or
Speaker 4: could do you think anyone could learn it or most
Speaker 4: people could learn it if they lived the life you
Speaker 4: do and it was part of your job and they
Speaker 4: really buckled down.
Speaker 2: What You've asked several questions within the question. Okay, and
Speaker 2: if it was part of it? Now, why am I hearing?
Speaker 4: Rob?
Speaker 2: I hear a little uh one second delay here? Okay, Oh,
Speaker 2: I'll just have to deal with it. I had a
Speaker 2: good memory in school. If you say, Morgan, tell me
Speaker 2: about third grade at the C. C. Perkins School, I
Speaker 2: could tell you the lunch box that I carried for
Speaker 2: the third grade. I could tell you at least a
Speaker 2: dozen of my classmates. Third grade for me was roughly
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty, the school season of sixty two. And I
Speaker 2: could tell you do you want the boys of the girls.
Speaker 2: I just have been blessed with a spectacular, accurate memory.
Speaker 2: I've not done things to myself to kill brain cells.
Speaker 2: I don't drink, I've never done any kind of drug
Speaker 2: other than prescription. And I've been blessed with the type
Speaker 2: of memory that I can just right now test me, Bradley.
Speaker 2: Pick any cartoon, Say any cartoon that you can remember. Ever, Okay,
Speaker 2: I'll ask you a question about it. Just mention the cartoon,
Speaker 2: all right. Rocky and bow Winkle, Rock and bow Winkle
Speaker 2: produced by Jay Ward. As a matter of fact, the
Speaker 2: first book I wrote was a TV cartoon trivia book,
Speaker 2: and I got a personalized note from Jay Ward that said,
Speaker 2: good work. Morgan can talk about all the characters, Rocky
Speaker 2: bow Winkle. Rocky's voice was June Foray, Bowwinkle was Bill Scott.
Speaker 2: Their enemies were Boris and Natasha. Paul Freese was Boris Natasha,
Speaker 2: as well as June Foray. And I'm gonna have to
Speaker 2: stop myself because last name, well, Natasha was Fatale like
Speaker 2: Natasha fatal Fatale, and Boris was bad enough as in
Speaker 2: bad e enough bad Ingov, but n Ov were the
Speaker 2: last three levers of its name.
Speaker 4: And are there any areas that you're not good at
Speaker 4: when it comes to memory? Because people are generally good
Speaker 4: at stuff they like, maybe there's some areas that you
Speaker 4: don't care about your memories not good.
Speaker 2: I had to once I started doing this as my
Speaker 2: living I had to train myself to get rid of
Speaker 2: pockets of information I didn't embrace. I was not a
Speaker 2: hockey fan growing up, but I read about hockey and
Speaker 2: learned about hockey and now Bobbie Hall and Stan mckidden
Speaker 2: names from the Golden days and the Original Six. Even
Speaker 2: knowing to call the Original Six the Original Six is
Speaker 2: all part of my repertoire. If you want to talk
Speaker 2: about history, you talk about any moment in history of
Speaker 2: the United States, from the Revolutionary War to the Korean War,
Speaker 2: World War One, World War two, the Civil War. I
Speaker 2: can do all of those and have to. I did
Speaker 2: a show last night. I do a show every Tuesday,
Speaker 2: and people ask me for subjects. That's my stick. Somebody
Speaker 2: pick a subject. I have to be able to come
Speaker 2: up with questions on any subject. They want the Beatles,
Speaker 2: I come up with the Beatles. If they want rock
Speaker 2: and Bowenkle, I come up with Rocky Bowenkell. They come
Speaker 2: up with well known Boston history. I do that too.
Speaker 2: It's my job.
Speaker 4: So what about the mascots? For all the common breakfast
Speaker 4: cereals of the sixty you probably know all those, and
Speaker 4: I'm glad. I'm glad you got.
Speaker 2: Because on Friday, I've got to ferellis a gentleman who
Speaker 2: I've had on before many a time, and he is
Speaker 2: my breakfast cereal Maven and Friday at eight o'clock when
Speaker 2: I'm filling in a night side tof will be here
Speaker 2: and we'll talk.
Speaker 3: I know the history.
Speaker 4: Do you know?
Speaker 2: Or did you know? There is actually a fourth elf? Snap,
Speaker 2: crackle and pop?
Speaker 3: There was an elf named Pow, but for whatever reason
Speaker 3: they wrote him out and.
Speaker 4: Yeah, magic number when it comes to and there you go,
Speaker 4: that kind of thing, no need for pal you know
Speaker 4: what's speaking of breakfast cereal. One thing that kills me
Speaker 4: is when I watch Seinfeld. You know, Seinfeld doesn't have
Speaker 4: any either. He doesn't have any cupboard doors on his
Speaker 4: kitchen cupboard or there you can see through them. He's
Speaker 4: got a lot of cereal. He's a breakfast cereal freak,
Speaker 4: but it's always seems to be a little blurry. I
Speaker 4: can only make out like Captain Crunch, maybe in sugar
Speaker 4: sugar some.
Speaker 2: His favorite cereal, he Seinfeld. His favorite cereal as a
Speaker 2: kid was honeycomb. And usually as you look at that cabinet,
Speaker 2: honeycomb is the biggest box in there because if you
Speaker 2: go to star market or stopping shop, the box of
Speaker 2: honeycomb is traditionally bigger than.
Speaker 3: Tricks or frosted flakes, what have you.
Speaker 2: Because those single honey comb were bigger than a frosted flake,
Speaker 2: bigger than a tricks, so you needed a bigger box.
Speaker 2: So next time you watch Seinfeld, depending on what years,
Speaker 2: look to the far left, and that first box is honeycomb.
Speaker 4: Oh good to know. Now I'm just going to figure
Speaker 4: out where the rest are. I was a big Captain
Speaker 4: Crunch person. A Captain Crunch cuts the roof of your
Speaker 4: mouth a lot. Well.
Speaker 2: Captain Crunch came out roughly nineteen sixty two sixty three,
Speaker 2: and the commercials for Captain Crunch were done by Jayward Studios.
Speaker 2: And the voice of Captain Crunch was my old buddy
Speaker 2: Dowes Butler. And can you name any of Captain Crunch's crew?
Speaker 4: No, I didn't even know he had a crew.
Speaker 2: He had a crew. The guy in the little white
Speaker 2: sailor suit with glasses that was Elf, and the only
Speaker 2: female in the crew was Brunehilda, and there was Dave,
Speaker 2: and the littlest one was Carlisle. The dog was Sea
Speaker 2: Dog and his ship was the Good Chip Guppy.
Speaker 4: So your brain is probably similar sized to mine, probably,
Speaker 4: and you have all this information in it, and I
Speaker 4: just wonder what about the wasted space and mine? Is it?
Speaker 5: Is?
Speaker 6: It?
Speaker 4: Just? Nothing?
Speaker 1: Is?
Speaker 4: Nothing ever went in there? Or did some stuff going
Speaker 4: there and it died? I don't know. Tell you what.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna probe the stuff in your brain when we
Speaker 2: come back from the break.
Speaker 3: You've got a couple of calls.
Speaker 2: Already, my our buddy David in San Francisco and Melinda
Speaker 2: and Quincy if you want to call and be on
Speaker 2: hold to speak with Bradley Jay, who's here only for
Speaker 2: an hour six one, seven, two, five, four, ten thirty, eight, eight, eight,

Speaker 2: who called before we even started the hour. She really
Speaker 2: wanted to speak to you. Bradley. Hello, Melinda.
Speaker 7: Hi, Hi, Morgan, Hi, Bradley, Hi.
Speaker 4: I think I met you your daughter?
Speaker 6: Yeah you did?
Speaker 7: You did?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 4: The story there, folks, is as uh Morgan's probably mentioned
Speaker 4: at some point previous month or two or three, I
Speaker 4: dabbling be in the karaoke house because it's fun and yeah,
Speaker 4: and you, of course Melinda, are always invited, and you
Speaker 4: never go because you're chicken.
Speaker 7: That's what your.
Speaker 4: Daughter said you were. Your daughter said you were a chicken.
Speaker 4: Actually I told you didn't.
Speaker 7: She didn't.
Speaker 4: She's a sweetheart, and she she came up and sang
Speaker 4: it was fun.
Speaker 7: Yeah, she no with both music nuts. I'm glad that.
Speaker 7: I was so happy to hear you doing that. The
Speaker 7: only reason I didn't go there was an incident out there.
Speaker 7: I couldn't go. But that's I totally plan on coming in.
Speaker 4: There is this at the winery.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he was at their high Morgan. I'm glad you're
Speaker 7: on this.
Speaker 4: When your daughter went to was that King's King thought
Speaker 4: the winery? I was, but not that night, not that
Speaker 4: I thought she.
Speaker 7: Was there that night. Okay, I thought you. I thought
Speaker 7: we were going to go. I want to go that night.
Speaker 7: I thought it was the one Okay, which.
Speaker 2: Kings because there are several Prudential Center Death Okay, that's
Speaker 2: Prudential Center Dalton Street.
Speaker 3: Okay, so, by the way, hello.
Speaker 4: To everyone at King's. I love him over there. Yes, Melinda,
Speaker 4: what's going well?
Speaker 5: I was going to ask you.
Speaker 7: When I used to call your show, I used to
Speaker 7: always say to you, couldn't we do karaoke? Isn't there
Speaker 7: a way we could get people to get you know,
Speaker 7: the people that used to call. Wouldn't it be cool
Speaker 7: if we could get people? And then when I heard
Speaker 7: you were doing it, I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 7: that's great because you know.
Speaker 5: And you like it?
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, I mean yes, if I can be honest, Yes,
Speaker 4: when I first started out, yes, the people there were
Speaker 4: people I knew because I would you know how it is, Morgan,
Speaker 4: you have to market yourself when you say exactly, yeah,
Speaker 4: there were a lot a lot of people there, but
Speaker 4: there were mostly people I knew, and therefore are they're
Speaker 4: mostly rock songs because I have I'm from the world
Speaker 4: of rock. So there was lots of Bruce Springsteen and uh,
Speaker 4: you know, uh East Bounding Down and Jerry Weed. You know,
Speaker 4: there was all kinds of rocky kind of stuff. They're
Speaker 4: going to do what they say can't be done. That's
Speaker 4: correct that and uh, but once people you know, it
Speaker 4: gets a name and people start coming in. I don't know,
Speaker 4: it's not so rocky. And after a while it becomes
Speaker 4: a lot of Taylor's swift and stuff like that, Oh
Speaker 4: you're lucky, you lucky man. No no, no, which is okay,
Speaker 4: but it's not it's not my jam.
Speaker 7: I know it's not yours. But but like it could
Speaker 7: be all kind Like it could be Sonata, that could
Speaker 7: be Neil Diamond, it could be Begs, it could be anybody,
Speaker 7: you know. I mean, that's what makes it fun. When
Speaker 7: anybody comes steps up and does it Stewart or whatever.
Speaker 4: It is funn And this is something that happens in
Speaker 4: at least at the host at least in when I
Speaker 4: did it is there's this really cool, positive, upbeat support
Speaker 4: for each other and strangers, strangers supporting each other, and
Speaker 4: people getting to know each other and making friends. One
Speaker 4: thing that was weird for me is I'm a kind
Speaker 4: of person that kind of keeps everybody in my life
Speaker 4: separate because I never know how this person's gonna get
Speaker 4: along with this other person. They're wildly different, Like one's
Speaker 4: a punk rocker and another one is a is a
Speaker 4: political expert for the talk show. So I keep people separate.
Speaker 4: But when I started marketing this thing, this karaoke thing,
Speaker 4: everybody I knew was there, and so people from all
Speaker 4: walks of the corners of my life started to talk
Speaker 4: to each other music.
Speaker 7: You know, it's just everybody's about the song. It's not
Speaker 7: you know, nobody's gonna say, oh, well, you just singing them.
Speaker 7: I don't like that. It's just everybody just joins in it.
Speaker 7: Just they got their own thing and they go up
Speaker 7: and sing it.
Speaker 4: Yep. And one thing that's fine is that the people
Speaker 4: that aren't very good at singing, it's really important to
Speaker 4: support them and hear them.
Speaker 7: Yeah. I never know if I'm going to have a
Speaker 7: bad allergy day and no honest to go because the
Speaker 7: times my voice will sound like a crazy accent and
Speaker 7: I'll sound like so different, I'll be like, oh God.
Speaker 7: And then there's other times I can sing. So I'm
Speaker 7: always like, oh Jesus, it's gonna be bad, it's gonna
Speaker 7: be okay. So I just never know how am I
Speaker 7: whether my voice is gonna be okay. But I'm gonna
Speaker 7: ask you a quick I know you love David Bowie,
Speaker 7: but but outside of David Bowie or unless it's him,
Speaker 7: what's your favorite song? If you can pick one.
Speaker 4: That's how well what I was gonna I was gonna
Speaker 4: ask you the same question. I'm glad you asked me.
Speaker 4: What you're asking me is what is my go to
Speaker 4: karaoke song?
Speaker 7: Oh to sing?
Speaker 4: Okay, that what you're asking me.
Speaker 7: Well, I hope it is, because that's my question was
Speaker 7: asked Morgan to what's your favorite song? It's hot, I know,
Speaker 7: but what's your favorite song?
Speaker 4: Favorite song?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 4: There were so many, all right, because I have to answer,
Speaker 4: I would say, for now, the greatest rock song of
Speaker 4: all time is a whole Lot of Love. But that's
Speaker 4: not my favorite one.
Speaker 5: That's good, ye.
Speaker 4: His favorite one to sing is London Calling by the Clash.
Speaker 7: Okay, Morgan, what's your favorite song? And it's hot?
Speaker 5: But now I've.
Speaker 2: Got five favorite songs, so I'm going to do a
Speaker 2: couple now the summer. When you mentioned Sinatra, yes, definitely.
Speaker 3: Frank Sinatra, just just my imagination by the Temptations, and
Speaker 3: I'll give you the others. But I want to try
Speaker 3: to get one more call on before I have to

Speaker 2: Nat King calls the Christmas song before.
Speaker 4: You take a call, I have to give you a
Speaker 4: little known fact and it has to do with it.
Speaker 4: It has to do with the Intruders. When I back
Speaker 4: when I was an operating room technician in Conkoring, New Hampshire,
Speaker 4: that was a place, big place, and it was back
Speaker 4: when the bands like the Intruders and the bands that
Speaker 4: all wore the same uniform right were there. And it
Speaker 4: was also yeah, and it was also the time of funk,
Speaker 4: like Ohio Players and all. And it was a time
Speaker 4: when the bump was a thing. And I actually it's
Speaker 4: hard to believe looking at me now, but I won
Speaker 4: a bump contest. Oh really, I didn't put it on
Speaker 4: the resume. I should put it on that. I put
Speaker 4: it on my resume text.
Speaker 3: That did the song I Ain't Gonna bump no more
Speaker 3: with no Big Fat Woman.
Speaker 4: That was a song Joe texts and the sex.
Speaker 3: Oh, let's yes, very good, very good, you know music, Bradley. Yeah,
Speaker 3: kind of not like you though.
Speaker 4: Well let's say you know what I maybe yeah, okay,
Speaker 4: some hour down the road. Yes, can we just you
Speaker 4: and I just talk for an hour and not take calls?
Speaker 4: I love everyone, but I don't get to talk to you.
Speaker 4: We'll tell you what.
Speaker 3: Why don't you and I do lunch and we don't
Speaker 3: have a clock ticking behind it?
Speaker 4: All right? But I want I kind of want to
Speaker 4: do it on the radio. But okay, we'll do both.
Speaker 4: That might be boring. We'll do both.
Speaker 2: Let's go to Rhode Island and speak to one because
Speaker 2: one's been holding for twenty minutes.
Speaker 8: One listen.
Speaker 9: Good evening, good evening, Good evening, Morgan, Morgan, I got
Speaker 9: a question to you after I talked to Bradley. Bradley,
Speaker 9: you were on the air on WBZ late at night.
Speaker 9: I called you from Providence, Rhode Island, because you were
Speaker 9: a form of the radio personality on WBCN. Yes, and
Speaker 9: I asked you where the reel to reels were from
Speaker 9: the Boston Tea Party because they BCN had inherited the
Speaker 9: reel to reels that were recorded during the history of
Speaker 9: the performances at the Boston Tea Party, and you told
Speaker 9: me you would look into it. Then you went off
Speaker 9: the air, and I was waiting in the wings, so
Speaker 9: to speak, to ask the question if you ever pursued
Speaker 9: finding out where the reel to reels went after they
Speaker 9: closed WBCN. Okay, I'm frothing at the bit and wanting to.
Speaker 2: Want Bradley answer. Go ahead, Bradley frothing at the bit.
Speaker 4: In my estimation, the highest likelihood is that they are,
Speaker 4: and I can't be sure, but there's a person named
Speaker 4: David Bieber who runs an archives. It's a huge one
Speaker 4: hundred thousand square foot building where he has archived pop culture,
Speaker 4: but particularly rock culture and music culture in Boston, and
Speaker 4: he worked at WBCN. Now he wasn't there when BCN
Speaker 4: went off the air, but he doesn't have a he
Speaker 4: does have a way of acquiring things. So my best
Speaker 4: guess is that David Bieber at least knows where they are.
Speaker 4: But I do remember a closet There was just to
Speaker 4: be a closet there and it used to be just
Speaker 4: crammed with so many boxes of real to Real tapes,
Speaker 4: and one of them I remember seeing it was one
Speaker 4: of the Aerosmith ones.
Speaker 3: If we could get in touch with David Bieber, how
Speaker 3: would you do it?
Speaker 4: I would. It's called David, it's called maybe David Biber Archives,
Speaker 4: and it's at a place called the Space Center in Norwood.
Speaker 4: Space Center in Norwood.
Speaker 2: So one look up the Space Center in Norwood and
Speaker 2: see if you can speak with David and mentioned that
Speaker 2: you heard Bradley on my show, because David knows me,
Speaker 2: obviously he knows Bradley, and just maybe you can get
Speaker 2: the answer that David would say, Oh yeah, I got.
Speaker 3: All those really reels. Maybe b I E B E R.
Speaker 9: Okay, thank you for that.
Speaker 4: Now, what's your question for me?
Speaker 8: Morgan is who was Morgan White Sor?
Speaker 4: He was my father?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 9: I get that.
Speaker 8: But was he in radio?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, he was not in radio. He
Speaker 2: worked at Bethlehem Steel as one of their workers for
Speaker 2: I don't know, fifteen twenty years.
Speaker 3: He passed away along time ago, but that was my
Speaker 3: father and Morgan.
Speaker 9: I listened whenever you're on the air, and I wish
Speaker 9: that they would put you on five nights a week.
Speaker 4: Well one, I've been on stelling in for Dan.

Speaker 2: Ten seconds. Let's go to New Hampshire and speak to Paul. Paul,
Speaker 2: welcome to night Side. You've got Bradley j Go ahead.
Speaker 5: Paul, Bradley, are you an assumption that the number of
Speaker 5: A R stations is shrinking around the country.
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know the answer to that. I would
Speaker 4: guess so because of consolidation and stuff. But I don't
Speaker 4: know if the number of stations is shrinking but the number,
Speaker 4: but that the number of owners of these stations are
Speaker 4: shrinking more more larger companies own. I'm not an expert
Speaker 4: at that, I'll be honest with you, Paul.
Speaker 5: Okay. Second question is don't the records have sell best
Speaker 5: their greatest sets albums and five albums?
Speaker 4: Uh? I don't know the facts that I would guess
Speaker 4: that live albums are not the biggest sellers because.
Speaker 5: Franton, Yeah, I know that's that's certainly an exception.
Speaker 4: Everyone that was forty years ago. Everyone had that record.
Speaker 2: I get that the music great business has changed over
Speaker 2: the forty years.
Speaker 4: And greatest hits albums. I don't know the answer to that.
Speaker 4: I was kind of I just had fun and I
Speaker 4: didn't pay much attention to the business.
Speaker 5: Copies.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, they were. They were baked and I like them.

Speaker 2: used to be Dan Ray's producer.
Speaker 3: Here at BZ.
Speaker 4: Yes, that's exact.
Speaker 2: I remember these things tell people where you were doing
Speaker 2: your karaoke, where your next trip is going to take you.
Speaker 2: Bradley J's stuff that needs to be broadcast. Oh, thank
Speaker 2: you very much for that.
Speaker 4: Well, there's there's no real date for karaoke to but uh,
Speaker 4: the next one will probably be at Trillium Brewery. Trillium
Speaker 4: has a brewery where you can a place where you
Speaker 4: can drink outside where the old Sealerus building was in
Speaker 4: the Timeout Market. And when I was putting posters up
Speaker 4: for the for one of the others, they said, hey,
Speaker 4: can you do that here? So I think that's going
Speaker 4: to be on a big outdoor stage, the same spot
Speaker 4: where where they have the their skating rink right in
Speaker 4: the winter. So there's that, uh, and other stuff I
Speaker 4: would really like it. If people visit my travel channel
Speaker 4: on YouTube, it's I put so much work into it.
Speaker 4: I redid all the thumbnails. The thumbnails are the little
Speaker 4: pictures you see that entice you to plick on it,
Speaker 4: and they were ugly and inconsistent, and I redid all
Speaker 4: two hundred of them, so now it looks all nice
Speaker 4: and upcoming there's a there's a relatively new Venice video,
Speaker 4: a Paris video, and a Spain video, and upcoming will
Speaker 4: be a Bruge in Belgium video and a Rome video
Speaker 4: in December.
Speaker 3: And these are all places to which you have traveled.
Speaker 4: Yes, I take all of it, all the footage, and
Speaker 4: do the voiceovers and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Lynn and speak with Scott Scott.
Speaker 2: You've got Bradley J here on night Side.
Speaker 6: Hi, Hi, Bradley Hice, Scott Scotty, Hey guys. A little
Speaker 6: Boston music trivia at this in August. I think it
Speaker 6: was the eighteenth and nineteen sixty six who appeared at
Speaker 6: Suffolk Downs.
Speaker 2: Well, if you're gonna say sixty six, I'm gonna say
Speaker 2: the Beatles and the circle opens for them.
Speaker 6: That's correct, Morgan and Bradley. Yes, and also on the
Speaker 6: bill was the Remains. Yes, and Barry wrote a book
Speaker 6: about the whole tour and it's called Ticket to Ride
Speaker 6: and it has great pictures and interviews and reviews of
Speaker 6: the whole sixty six tour and they came to Suffolk
Speaker 6: Downs and also on the bill was the Ronettes. Wow,
Speaker 6: now what was the big story about the Ronettes in
Speaker 6: that tour? Who was not on the in the show.
Speaker 4: Ron you're asking me some but he was was missing,
Speaker 4: that's right, Ronnie Spector.
Speaker 6: How Ronnie was not in the on the tour? She
Speaker 6: had a sub and what is the reason Ronnie was
Speaker 6: not on that tour that I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 6: Earlier in the Ronette's career they toured England and John
Speaker 6: Lennon took a liking to Ronnie Spector. Yes, well, I
Speaker 6: think they were on a bill together in England and
Speaker 6: Phil Spector did not allow Ronnie to go on tour
Speaker 6: with the Beatles in sixty six because of jealousy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because he had the huts for her as well.
Speaker 6: Well. Yeah, they had were married I think at the
Speaker 6: time Morgan when she took Yeah, yeah, she had the
Speaker 6: name Ronnie Spector being to Phil and Phil wouldn't wouldn't
Speaker 6: let her tour and she had a sub But that's
Speaker 6: that's interesting. Yeah, Verry, I mean, Bradley. Have you seen
Speaker 6: that concert venue at Suffolk Downs that's recently opened?
Speaker 4: No, I have not. I have not. Have you I have?
Speaker 6: I've just seen pictures of it. Morgan, have you seen it?
Speaker 6: Have they redid all of Suffolk Downs? And it has
Speaker 6: a big outdoor stage, okay with the concert series, And
Speaker 6: I've heard good things about it. Uh. And I had
Speaker 6: friends who went to see Metallica at at Foxboro Stadium, Uh,
Speaker 6: a couple of days ago. I heard good things about that.
Speaker 4: So do you go? Do you go see show?
Speaker 3: Still?
Speaker 6: I used to Bradley, I used to see a lot
Speaker 6: of the Dead concerts.
Speaker 4: And did you did you get hearing damaged?
Speaker 6: I'm sure I did. Redy. Have you ever been to Newport, Bradley,
Speaker 6: have you seen any of the jazz festivals or the
Speaker 6: folk festivals down there?
Speaker 4: I must admit I have not.
Speaker 6: Morgan, have you ever been to the Newport Jazz Festival
Speaker 6: years ago?
Speaker 3: In the seventies.
Speaker 2: I used to be very active in the seventies and
Speaker 2: eighties going to concerts.
Speaker 4: Well, I've kind of pulled back my urge to travel.
Speaker 6: My wonder well understandable. Hey Morgan, did you follow SummerSlam?
Speaker 6: Did you hear about the return of Roman Reigns.
Speaker 4: I heard that.
Speaker 3: Roman surprised everybody in surprised. What's his name? Mel calls
Speaker 3: him Coca Cola.
Speaker 6: I can't. Yeah, yeah, I guess he helped Cody Rhoades
Speaker 6: that they're.
Speaker 3: Probably flipping him to the babyface side of things. We'll see.
Speaker 6: Ye. Well, I guess that was quite quite an event
Speaker 6: in Cleveland. Yes, all right, thank you guys.
Speaker 4: And you know what you mentioned, Red rubber Ball. I
Speaker 4: love that song and you can help me with this
Speaker 4: final question. Okay, what was the song Tony connect the
Speaker 4: Arrow did and was kind of.
Speaker 3: Famous for Little Red Wagon.
Speaker 4: See how he mixed those up, Red rubber Ball and
Speaker 4: Little Red Wagon?
Speaker 2: Red Wagon and Playing the Field was a secondary hit
Speaker 2: by Tony c which made sense. Playing the Field And
Speaker 2: it's funny Scott brought up wrestling, and this gets back
Speaker 2: to the original thing I wanted to talk to you about.
Speaker 2: Everybody has knowledge. Sometimes it might be focused on one
Speaker 2: thing and that's all they care about. Sometimes it may
Speaker 2: be broad brush a variety of things. I used to
Speaker 2: have a caller back in the eighties when I did
Speaker 2: the show Talking Trivia, and his name was Vinnie Carolyn.
Speaker 2: Loved wrestling. That was his main focus. He Vinnie Carolyn
Speaker 2: still is into wrestling low thirty five years later. He
Speaker 2: has written a book.
Speaker 4: He has.
Speaker 2: Been used on the wrestling shows that you see on
Speaker 2: wece some of the clips from his shows. And he
Speaker 2: developed a career, an ancillary career in wrestling. And that
Speaker 2: is an example I wanted to give about you. You know,
Speaker 2: hardcore specifics in music, backwards, forward, sidewards.
Speaker 3: And diagonal, and you should be proud of the knowledge
Speaker 3: that you have, the depth of knowledge that you have
Speaker 3: with music. Well, thanks, I appreciate that.
Speaker 2: And I somehow this came up. Oh, when I brought
Speaker 2: up The Intruders, the Skippy White, I had him on
Speaker 2: a few weeks ago. Yeah, he's producing a show on
Speaker 2: August twenty fourth at the Theater in Metford and you
Speaker 2: can get tickets at the Wang and other places. And
Speaker 2: the lineup includes the Stylistics, Wow, the Temptations or the
Speaker 2: new version of the Temptations, the Dramatics, The Manhattan's, The Intruders,
Speaker 2: and another act or two. It's called the soul something
Speaker 2: or other. But check it out. If that style of
Speaker 2: music that era was comfortable and important to you, oh yeah,
Speaker 2: check check it out.
Speaker 3: Now, Bradley, our hour is up. Oh I know, but
Speaker 3: you know what said?
Speaker 2: You and I will do lunch and I will have
Speaker 2: you on again and your idea we will do.
