Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Cafim Kelly Alive everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And if
Speaker 2: you don't know, I'm not going to give names, but
Speaker 2: within our iHeart LA Radio family, there are I think
Speaker 2: six different people who've lost their houses, and that might
Speaker 2: be an understatement by tomorrow as more information comes in.
Speaker 3: So it's very personal for us.
Speaker 2: We are going through this with you, and because of that,
Speaker 2: I make it a point to make sure that I'm
Speaker 2: checking in with not only my friends and family, but
Speaker 2: my co workers, people in the studio and Isabella. We
Speaker 2: don't get to work together all that often, and I
Speaker 2: may tease you about only being twelve years old, but
Speaker 2: I haven't had a chance to ask, are you and
Speaker 2: your family okay?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: So far, I haven't had to get evacuated yet. Luckily
Speaker 4: I'm in the Silver Lake area. But my great aunt
Speaker 4: did lose her home in Alta, Dina, and we've been
Speaker 4: raising awareness about that, raising money, which has been really
Speaker 4: great so far.
Speaker 5: Like the power of social.
Speaker 4: Media in a positive way, It's it's been really really
Speaker 4: good to see and I've been doing my best to
Speaker 4: you know, there's a lot of bars in my area
Speaker 4: that are actually like taking donations and stuff like that,
Speaker 4: So that's been really great. But me personally, so far,
Speaker 4: so good, And a lot of my other relatives in
Speaker 4: Los Angeles live more in like the Korea Town area too,
Speaker 4: so so far.
Speaker 2: So I think there's a generational difference. I'm old enough
Speaker 2: to compare this with other disasters in Southern California. I
Speaker 2: remember how Angelino's responded to like the north Ridge earthquake.
Speaker 2: You wouldn't have any memory of that other than looking
Speaker 2: it up on the Internet and remembering what the YouTube
Speaker 2: video said. But the country is very different now compared
Speaker 2: to previous disasters, which are specific to Southern California. We're
Speaker 2: much more coarse in our rhetoric. We're much less empathetic
Speaker 2: in how we deal with each other if you just
Speaker 2: look at social media. We're much more guided by politics
Speaker 2: and grievances as opposed to empathy for people. And I'm
Speaker 2: very disappointed and dismayed, But I look at that as
Speaker 2: someone who remembers what Southern California was relative to what
Speaker 2: it is right now. You're of a different generation in
Speaker 2: your conversations with people in your age group. What are
Speaker 2: they saying about these fires? What are they feeling about
Speaker 2: what is happening.
Speaker 4: It's so funny I have been saying, I am so
Speaker 4: sick of living through unprecedented times.
Speaker 5: I feel like I feel like COVID.
Speaker 4: Honestly, just hate to throw back to that, but kind
Speaker 4: of desensitize a lot of people in my generation, in
Speaker 4: my immediate age group, too. Crazy things happening in our
Speaker 4: country and specifically in California. Now, I'd say it's not
Speaker 4: that they're not sympathetic and not aware, but desensitized is
Speaker 4: the word that I would use, because I just see
Speaker 4: a lot of people who were evacuated still posting on
Speaker 4: social media, still, you know, in good spirits, which is
Speaker 4: a good thing. But I just think everyone is so
Speaker 4: desensitized now to everything.
Speaker 5: It's it's pretty crazy.
Speaker 2: Well, it's e litite from being evacuated to losing your home.
Speaker 2: You know, there are thousands of people who have been
Speaker 2: evacuated but not permanently displaced exactly. That might be part
Speaker 2: of that equation. But I'm always curious because I remember
Speaker 2: what it was, let's say, after nine to eleven, what
Speaker 2: it felt like here in Los Angeles. I remember feeling
Speaker 2: as if we didn't know whether nine to eleven was
Speaker 2: going to continue and was also going to include Los Angeles.
Speaker 2: I just know in my conversations with people who worked
Speaker 2: in the federal government and worked in the White House
Speaker 2: during that time, there were concerns that LA was also
Speaker 2: going to get hit major landmarks as as part of
Speaker 2: an extended attack, and LA was just a different place.
Speaker 2: If you wouldn't remember this, but after nine to eleven,
Speaker 2: there was a swell of unity in this country not
Speaker 2: seen since, that's for sure, And I don't know if
Speaker 2: we would ever be able to duplicate it if, unfortunately,
Speaker 2: we were to have another major event like that.
Speaker 3: I think it's different.
Speaker 2: Your experience is obviously very different than mine, and I
Speaker 2: think about the people that I know, just like Tawala,
Speaker 2: who may have lived or families may have lived in
Speaker 2: these houses for many generations, right, and we're just at
Speaker 2: the point I think your generation going forward less so
Speaker 2: than our generation, uh, my generation generation X, we are
Speaker 2: still kind of that bridge where we have a lot
Speaker 2: of physical items, a lot of physical media documents, where
Speaker 2: your generation is all about digital online cloud.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's hilarious because weirdly I feel like the
Speaker 4: importance of physical media is coming back a little bit
Speaker 4: in my generation as well, at least with the people
Speaker 4: who I know in my personal circle and just amongst
Speaker 4: my inner circle. Like the biggest thing is like, oh,
Speaker 4: a bunch of people have film cameras. Now, it's like
Speaker 4: where and also novelty, right, it is one hundred percent
Speaker 4: like I throw the film cameras into the go bag.
Speaker 2: When you have film cameras, are they the kind where
Speaker 2: you have to actually buy the flash as well?
Speaker 3: Yes, so you're going real retro. Yeah.
Speaker 2: My first camera was a wind up Kodak and you
Speaker 2: had to buy the flash and the flash I think
Speaker 2: there were maybe like eight flashes on it. There were
Speaker 2: like eight exposures. It wasn't like unlimited flashes on a smartphone.
Speaker 2: You had to buy the physical flash and it would
Speaker 2: pop in, and the odds of you not exposing the
Speaker 2: film and ruining it were sklimming none.
Speaker 3: But that's coming back in the style.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, one hundred percent film cameras like that. Like
Speaker 4: it's it's.
Speaker 2: Crazy, amazing, absolutely amazing. Now, If lastly, for you, were
Speaker 2: you ever or have you been ever? Because you have
Speaker 2: this proliferation of information especially with the fires. You have
Speaker 2: so much more information than we would get during a
Speaker 2: major disaster. We have emergency alert system and you'd have
Speaker 2: broadcast news, but there was no twenty four to seven
Speaker 2: type dissemination of information. There wasn't like an outlet where
Speaker 2: the anchors were going to stay on forty eight hours
Speaker 2: in a row like they have on NBC four. To
Speaker 2: their credit, Has there any I don't know how I
Speaker 2: can ask this. Does it matter that you have all
Speaker 2: this information available?
Speaker 5: One hundred percent?
Speaker 4: I think to a certain extent it does drive up anxiety.
Speaker 5: Because it does. Okay, it's just.
Speaker 4: In general, the twenty four hour news cycle will always
Speaker 4: drive up anxiety. But I personally, as someone who stresses
Speaker 4: and prepares as early as possible, I am so thankful
Speaker 4: for all of this.
Speaker 5: I've been watching NBCLA, I've been listening to.
Speaker 4: KFI when I'm not here, like non stop, and I'm very,
Speaker 4: very thankful for it. But with that being said, it
Speaker 4: has been driving up my anxiety like crazy because you
Speaker 4: can't escape it.
Speaker 5: It's everywhere.
Speaker 4: It's on TikTok, it's on I mean, I did delete Twitter,
Speaker 4: so I'm on the same boat.
Speaker 5: But like Instagram, it's everywhere. You can't escape it.
Speaker 2: I remember growing up and you had a number of quakes,
Speaker 2: like there was a Silbar quake. I don't know if
Speaker 2: it's like maybe nineteen seventy one, seventy two or so,
Speaker 2: and the only way you would get information we would
Speaker 2: listen to the radio. We would listen to KABC back then,
Speaker 2: and you get the five o'clock news, six o'clock news,
Speaker 2: and maybe that yet the eleven o'clock news.
Speaker 3: I don't think there was anything more than that.
Speaker 2: And if you didn't get it at the five stop
Speaker 2: five o'clock, six o'clock or eleven o'clock, you'd have to
Speaker 2: get in the physical print newspaper where Mark Ronald was working,
Speaker 2: and that was and that would only come once a day.
Speaker 2: So the flow of information was very, very limited. We
Speaker 2: would not be able to if these fires back in
Speaker 2: the nineteen seventies, you really wouldn't know what was going on.
Speaker 2: There was no way to be able to get all
Speaker 2: this information to the general public in a timely fashion
Speaker 2: because we were only getting updates maybe twice a day,
Speaker 2: maybe once a day if you're looking at a physical newspaper.
Speaker 2: I say all that to say technology has saved a
Speaker 2: lot of lives, Absolutely a lot of lives.
Speaker 3: It's saved a lot of houses.
Speaker 2: It's saved a lot of heartache and heartbreak. And for
Speaker 2: as much as I complain about your generation, and as
Speaker 2: much as I complain about technology and social media, got
Speaker 2: to be honest, got to be fair, it's saved a
Speaker 2: lot of people.
Speaker 5: I agree.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you for letting me bounce off you this segment.
Speaker 4: Of course, any time so you're fifteen, nearing that, Yeah,
Speaker 4: you could.
Speaker 3: Say that you haven't gotten your learners permit yet.
Speaker 5: Heavy No, no, not yet.
Speaker 2: Cam I Am six forty moth Kelly here, we're live
Speaker 2: everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. I'm going to tell you
Speaker 2: about a fire aid concert which is coming up on
Speaker 2: January thirtieth at the Into It Dome right around the
Speaker 2: corner from my house, and how the music industry is
Speaker 2: starting to coalesce as such see other portions of entertainment
Speaker 2: trying to help bring people together and also help people
Speaker 2: out financially.
Speaker 3: We'll tell you about that next.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3: Make sure to check out the podcast on.
Speaker 2: The iHeartRadio app. Or wherever you should get your podcasts.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's Apple podcasts, or it's podcast Addict, Spreaker, wherever
Speaker 2: you get your podcasts. You can find the latter with
Speaker 2: mo Kelly Show Podcasts. There's a lot of good information
Speaker 2: on there, specifically around the fires, specifically the evacuations, the
Speaker 2: curfew which is now in effect for all of those
Speaker 2: evacuation zones from six pm to six am. If you
Speaker 2: don't know the curfew is in effect for those evacuation zones,
Speaker 2: do not go in. Don't try to go in. You
Speaker 2: will be arrested. And we know that the National Guard
Speaker 2: is their patrol. You don't want to play around with
Speaker 2: that at all. You don't want to have a misunderstanding.
Speaker 2: As they say, so the curfews are in effect for
Speaker 2: just the evacuation zones. We've told you about the expansion
Speaker 2: of the Pacific Palisades fire and that evacuation zone. Mark
Speaker 2: Roner will have an update on that at the bottom
Speaker 2: of the hour. And as we move through this fire disaster,
Speaker 2: the attention has slowly begun to turn toward restoration of
Speaker 2: the community. I'll put it like that, and the end
Speaker 2: at Dome, the new Clippers Arena will be hosting a
Speaker 2: benefit show dedicated to rebuilding communicated communities devastated by the
Speaker 2: fires and supporting efforts to prevent future disasters throughout Southern California.
Speaker 2: Is going to be called Fire Aid, an Evening of
Speaker 2: music and solidarity. It's set to take place on January thirtieth,
Speaker 2: and the ticket and performer information will be announced soon. Obviously,
Speaker 2: the whole lineup is not in place, but as that
Speaker 2: information has been available, we'll make sure that you know
Speaker 2: about it if you should be interested. But being built
Speaker 2: as a concert where the proceeds will go toward a
Speaker 2: new five oh one C three created that will focus
Speaker 2: on rebuilding infrastructure, supporting displaced families, and advancing fire prevention
Speaker 2: technologies and strategies to ensure LA is better prepared for
Speaker 2: these fire emergencies. The show will be produced by Shelley
Speaker 2: Irving and the A's Off Family. If you're familiar with
Speaker 2: them in the music business, I am in conjunction with
Speaker 2: Live Nation and AEG Presents.
Speaker 3: They are all reputable.
Speaker 2: You need not worry about them as far as their
Speaker 2: connection to the music business. I will say there will
Speaker 2: be a lot of fly by night charities and associations
Speaker 2: which will be asking for your donation or for you
Speaker 2: to contribute somehow.
Speaker 3: They may pop up on your phone.
Speaker 2: I would recommend great caution and you do your due
Speaker 2: diligence and research any organization which is asking for your
Speaker 2: money that you may not receive something in return.
Speaker 3: It's a little bit different with the Benefit Concert.
Speaker 2: You know that you're going to get a performance of
Speaker 2: a number of groups, and you have to hope that
Speaker 2: the money is used in a way that's originally designed
Speaker 2: to be used, but also be very skeptical. I got
Speaker 2: a few text messages that we're questionable about donating here
Speaker 2: and donating there and making sure that you make financial
Speaker 2: resources available for the evacuees and everything.
Speaker 3: You're going to get a lot of those.
Speaker 2: If I'm getting them, I know that you're going to
Speaker 2: be getting them, and you just have to be very
Speaker 2: careful with that. And if you should plan to make
Speaker 2: a donation, make sure the organization is reputable and there
Speaker 2: is some way that you can verify that organization which
Speaker 2: is asking for your money, and if all else fails,
Speaker 2: just don't, you know, donate to the Red Cross.
Speaker 3: You know that's reputable.
Speaker 2: Donate to a place that you've donated before that you
Speaker 2: know that you can depend on, that you can count on,
Speaker 2: and you're not worried about something which is just popping
Speaker 2: up out of nowhere and maybe fly by night and
Speaker 2: you don't have any real reason to trust it. But
Speaker 2: there will be a number of benefit concerts, there'll be
Speaker 2: a number of organizations which will be putting on fundraisers
Speaker 2: to raise money. I'm quite sure with the best of intentions,
Speaker 2: but you still have to do your due diligence and
Speaker 2: make sure that your donation is going to be used
Speaker 2: in a way that it was intended and will get
Speaker 2: to the intended individuals who've been displaced or have lost
Speaker 2: their lives, livelihoods, lives as well in this case. But
Speaker 2: this is just one of those times where the criminals
Speaker 2: do come out, not only as far as trying to
Speaker 2: loot and take advantage of people in where their houses are,
Speaker 2: but also online and taking advantage of your willingness to
Speaker 2: do quote unquote your part to do something to help
Speaker 2: someone else. And they're going to be a number of benefits,
Speaker 2: and if you just tune in, just want to let
Speaker 2: you know one of these benefits is going to be
Speaker 2: at the end to it Dome and it's going to
Speaker 2: be called Fire Aid.
Speaker 3: It probably will have a number of huge name artists.
Speaker 2: We can't tell you who that is yet because they
Speaker 2: haven't announced it yet, but they are saying that it
Speaker 2: will take place on January thirtieth. And from my limited
Speaker 2: experience with these big concerts which come together at a
Speaker 2: moment's notice, Tawala probably has his own perspective because he's
Speaker 2: done more concerts than me. Part of the reason why
Speaker 2: they don't know who's going to be performing. They have
Speaker 2: to make sure with these artists that it is the
Speaker 2: date is available in his or her schedule to come
Speaker 2: to LA on basically a moment's notice.
Speaker 3: What is it.
Speaker 2: We're talking about twenty days, fewer than three weeks, So
Speaker 2: that's a quick turnaround for big name artists who may
Speaker 2: already be on tour in the United States or maybe
Speaker 2: even internationally, or just are touring in support of their
Speaker 2: own albums. So it's not easy to just bring big
Speaker 2: name talent to LA if they're not already in LA
Speaker 2: and not already available. Let's say you want to get Beyonce,
Speaker 2: she might be kind of busy. Taylor Swift might be
Speaker 2: kind of busy, but you want to make sure you
Speaker 2: get the best talent available. These things don't come together
Speaker 2: all that easily or all that quickly.
Speaker 3: But but I.
Speaker 2: Defer I've only done a handful of concerts Twalla Sharp
Speaker 2: has done. I don't know, fifty eleven of them, fifty
Speaker 2: eleven concerts.
Speaker 3: At a minimum.
Speaker 6: And when I see these events, these are names that
Speaker 6: are reputable. The individual's putting on these offense absolutely reputable.
Speaker 6: I know when we have done events, especially when they
Speaker 6: are fundraising events. When you have talent who is donating
Speaker 6: their time but also maybe on tour, they will not
Speaker 6: allow you to use their name because, say, if we
Speaker 6: were doing something at a large venue, they look at
Speaker 6: that as like, hey, those are tickets that I could
Speaker 6: be selling for my show, And I don't want people
Speaker 6: thinking that they could just come to this event that
Speaker 6: I'm donating my time for. I'm not getting anything from this.
Speaker 6: I have to pay for this with my writer, my
Speaker 6: band and all of that.
Speaker 3: What do you mean by writer?
Speaker 6: All of the things that when an artist confirms that
Speaker 6: they're going to do a show for me, they typically
Speaker 6: have a writer. Those are all of the little niche
Speaker 6: things that they need to feel comfortable coming to do
Speaker 6: the show, and on top of the band requirements, they
Speaker 6: may say one time, we need one artist who said
Speaker 6: that they literally wanted a bowl of only red and
Speaker 6: green peanut eminem's. We had to literally sit there and
Speaker 6: pull out every other color. We were told by this
Speaker 6: artist of management that if she sees any color eminems
Speaker 6: besides that, that she would go low and throw those
Speaker 6: things all the way across the floor. You didn't get
Speaker 6: what I said right there, she would go low jay.
Speaker 6: So all I'm saying is there are artists who have
Speaker 6: particular true story, true story in particulars that they will say,
Speaker 6: uh uh, if I see something like that, they will go.
Speaker 6: But we have had artists who have confirmed that they
Speaker 6: will do our show, big name artists. I remember Will
Speaker 6: Smith was going to do one of our concerts and
Speaker 6: it was when he had the song for the Ali soundtrack,
Speaker 6: and he said, Hey, I'm gonna do it, but I've
Speaker 6: got a big event I've got to do. So you
Speaker 6: can tease that I'll be there, but you can't say
Speaker 6: my name yep. And we had to do everything around
Speaker 6: that that he was going to come because this was
Speaker 6: a concert where he wasn't getting paid.
Speaker 3: He was like, you're not gonna sell tickets on my name.
Speaker 2: You got me thinking, when we come back, we're going
Speaker 2: to talk about some of the most outlandish tour riders. Oh,
Speaker 2: some of these I knew about.
Speaker 3: Some of them.
Speaker 2: I didn't know about it. If you don't know it
Speaker 2: mean writers thought. Look, if I'm gonna come perform at
Speaker 2: your venue, I got to have all these things and
Speaker 2: if it's not right, I will get back on my
Speaker 2: bus and leave. Oh I got a list. Oh I
Speaker 2: have a list too, So we'll do that when we
Speaker 2: come back.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Can't I'm Kelly Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And
Speaker 2: I was telling you last segment about this upcoming fire
Speaker 2: Aid benefit concert for California wildfire victims. It's set for
Speaker 2: January thirtieth at the endo it Dome, and I was explaining,
Speaker 2: I can't tell you the lineup yet, it hasn't been set.
Speaker 2: But I also want to give you some context as
Speaker 2: far as why they can't use artists names in advance.
Speaker 2: And I called into all of who's produced any number
Speaker 2: of concerts, and Twilette reminded me that a big portion
Speaker 2: of this. You have to negotiate the writer as far
Speaker 2: as what the venue and the promoters will provide for
Speaker 2: a Beyonce or Mariah Carey or Rihanna or Taylor Swift
Speaker 2: to come be part of this. And I say those
Speaker 2: names because these big names will probably be a part
Speaker 2: of it. Expect those names, but for them to come,
Speaker 2: it's largely dependent on whether they can free themselves. If
Speaker 2: they're right in the middle of a tour, they can
Speaker 2: fly in. Are they flying in from New York, They're
Speaker 2: flying in from Texas? Where they be flying in from Prague?
Speaker 2: You know, those are the things you have to worry about,
Speaker 2: and also whether the promoters are willing to accommodate their rider.
Speaker 2: And there are some really outrageous riders. The first one
Speaker 2: I'll tell you about is Mariah Carey. I can confirm
Speaker 2: this one because I vaguely remember what we had to
Speaker 2: do when she was going to be performing at the
Speaker 2: Grammys when I was there. Now, her backstage area has
Speaker 2: to have a certain size. There has to be a
Speaker 2: certain room to it. You can't just put Mariah Carey
Speaker 2: in any room. It has to be de side of
Speaker 2: like a hotel suite and her rider requests the door
Speaker 2: opened to a living room space, not the dressing room,
Speaker 2: so it has to have like a living room area.
Speaker 2: In addition to the dressing room, all rooms should be
Speaker 2: draped and the couch must not contain busy patterns. The
Speaker 2: room temperatures has to be set to seventy five degrees.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to argue that because singers they do
Speaker 2: not want a cold room. It affects her voice, so
Speaker 2: I won't get angry about that. Food and drink requirements
Speaker 2: Fiji stillwater, pellegrino, sparkling water, fried chicken, red and white wine,
Speaker 2: four Joe malone, vanilla candles, and two vases of white roses,
Speaker 2: coke and gatorade sugary drinks contry, and there's also sugarless gum.
Speaker 2: And there's small bottles of room temperature water, lemon, lemons, honey.
Speaker 2: And that's just some of the stuff of her rider.
Speaker 2: What do you remember, Twalla. I remember when we booked.
Speaker 6: Recording artist Jill Scott when she was still singing before
Speaker 6: she got into just mainly acting, and she required a
Speaker 6: dozen long stem white roses, a large bottle of crystal,
Speaker 6: and a large bottle of mo ed.
Speaker 3: And hundreds of dollars.
Speaker 6: Yes, and and I can't remember the food writer, but
Speaker 6: we went out, rushed out and got all of these things.
Speaker 6: And we remember she came in, she did the show,
Speaker 6: and she left. She didn't even go into the dress room.
Speaker 6: So it's like, and these are things that I promise
Speaker 6: just this lots of times. This may not even be
Speaker 6: the artists themselves asking for this. This is just this,
Speaker 6: that and the other. So it's like, I doubt that
Speaker 6: she even knew that stuff was in there, because we're like,
Speaker 6: so the mo ed stuff is still in there. I
Speaker 6: remember the Ojys when we booked them, they said that
Speaker 6: they needed catered Roscoe's chicken and waffles. They didn't want
Speaker 6: us to just go and get it and bring it.
Speaker 6: They needed Rosco's Chicken and Waffles to come and prepare
Speaker 6: the food. And they needed three fifths of Crown Royal,
Speaker 6: the Crown Royal, the Hennessy and the the in the
Speaker 6: purple bats. Yeah, they had to have that in the
Speaker 6: dressing room. Yes, and that we were like, okay, so
Speaker 6: we're gonna have Roscos come up and cook and we're
Speaker 6: gonna have the Crown Royale in the room.
Speaker 2: Rihanna required a large cheetah or leopard print rug to
Speaker 2: walk on, and it has to be clean because you
Speaker 2: will be walking barefoot on it. Adequate lighting must be
Speaker 2: required for provided for a relaxed atmosphere. White drapes will
Speaker 2: be used to cover lockers or anything backstage, and a
Speaker 2: humidifier and.
Speaker 3: Four small clear square.
Speaker 2: Vases with white tulips needed in the dressing room. If
Speaker 2: you can't find white tulips, white Casablanca Lili's will do instead.
Speaker 3: What is with the artists with the white rosa that
Speaker 3: that is wild?
Speaker 2: I don't know, but those are some of the things
Speaker 2: that artists will require that you have to accommodate them
Speaker 2: on for them to perform. And I've seen artists cancel
Speaker 2: performances for less, yeah, for not having all their writer
Speaker 2: requirements met.
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, I have actually seen and this is something
Speaker 6: that I have seen personally, and I know for a
Speaker 6: fact none of it was used. But we had the
Speaker 6: pleasure one time we put together a show with jay Z.
Speaker 6: It was the jay Z for Free Show and we
Speaker 6: did this at I believe it was at the Key
Speaker 6: Club and his writer was and I believe this is
Speaker 6: pretty much the exact same writer. I just lost the page.
Speaker 6: But I saw, I said myself. I remember having to
Speaker 6: get these things for his room. It was like fresh
Speaker 6: peanut butter and some type of some type of chocolates
Speaker 6: and all these things. And there had to be muet
Speaker 6: sean don and the room had to have not like
Speaker 6: a solid it had to have solid Prince couldn't have
Speaker 6: anything wild in the room. Had to be solid colors
Speaker 6: in the room or he wouldn't even walk in. Like
Speaker 6: they got the time it was like had to be
Speaker 6: all black. Is for the Black album where they had
Speaker 6: to be all black in the room. We're like, okay,
Speaker 6: black chairs, black carpeting and all that, black walls.
Speaker 3: Got it. We will get it done.
Speaker 6: And the thing is, you don't get it done, you
Speaker 6: will have an artist who will hold up the show.
Speaker 6: They may not even leave. They may say we're not
Speaker 6: gonna go on right now. We're not gonna go on
Speaker 6: right because at that point, correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 2: They already receive half in advance, yeah guaranteed, yep, and
Speaker 2: the rest is payable upon arrival and when they walk.
Speaker 3: In the rope.
Speaker 6: And the thing is is you've agreed to these things,
Speaker 6: so if they leave, it's on you. You will still
Speaker 6: have to pay that bill. They're like, you did not
Speaker 6: meet the contractual demands that you signed. I'm leaving, and
Speaker 6: you will give me the rest of my money because
Speaker 6: now you're trying to rob me of my performance funds. No,
Speaker 6: you're gonna give me all that. It's it's serious, it
Speaker 6: is very serious.
Speaker 2: I don't know if there was one artist who walked
Speaker 2: out on us when I was like working at Warner
Speaker 2: Brothers or Virgin Records, but I remember when I was
Speaker 2: working at Virgin Records, it was providing promotional support for
Speaker 2: the Velvet Rope tour, and I remember some things about
Speaker 2: Janet's rider until I had to look it up just
Speaker 2: to say that, yep, this is this is the right one.
Speaker 2: She had to have unscented candles three to four inches
Speaker 2: in diameters, like you just can't get any unset that.
Speaker 2: They had to be a certain diameter Votivo red current
Speaker 2: scent candles, and an arrangement of cut white tulips. I
Speaker 2: don't get it, but you know, and if not available,
Speaker 2: she asked for white guardenias or white roses. In an
Speaker 2: absence of those substitutes and arrangement should be a variety
Speaker 2: of whites nicely put together. Any substitutions must be approved
Speaker 2: by the production staff, and they have They would send
Speaker 2: a personal assist assistant to coordinate her meals, and the
Speaker 2: promoters have to stock her dressing room with an assortment
Speaker 2: of fruit and beverages. Janet Jackson also enjoyed Orbit chewing gum, Gatorade,
Speaker 2: assorted crystal light drink mixes, and organic creamy peanut butter.
Speaker 3: There's that peanut butter thing. Peanut butter. I don't get it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, And you may remember this because for a
Speaker 6: while you were over at her label, over at working
Speaker 6: with the mc A group and all that.
Speaker 3: Mary J. Blige, I, yes, she did. I remember this.
Speaker 6: I remember this because we did the Mary Mary Mary Show,
Speaker 6: which is Mary J. Blige and Mary Mary at the.
Speaker 2: She was a weird configuration because Mary Mary is a
Speaker 2: gospel group and Mary jack But it was. It was
Speaker 2: a Christmas show. It was a Holidays show. But still
Speaker 2: I don't think of Christmas and Mary J.
Speaker 3: Blige. Yeah, it was. It was good. It was a
Speaker 3: good show.
Speaker 6: Was that the It was at the the House of
Speaker 6: Blues in in Anaheid And I remember two humidifiers, ten
Speaker 6: medium pre washed bathsized towels, No dairy or pork of
Speaker 6: any kind. Ten one point five liter bottles of Fiji
Speaker 6: absolutely positively must be Fiji. Six cans of diet Doctor Pepper.
Speaker 6: Six cans of Schweps Ginger Ell. Who's gonna drink all
Speaker 6: that in a three hour period? Two medium packs or
Speaker 6: two packs of Mentals Cinnamon fresh only, cinnamon fresh only,
Speaker 6: all right?
Speaker 3: Six cans of Red Bull Energy Drink.
Speaker 6: Six bottles of black cherry propels in the sports bottle.
Speaker 6: Have to have the flip top sports bottles. Eight sets
Speaker 6: of silverware, twenty four napkins, and one tub of clean ice.
Speaker 3: No food has really been mentioned here.
Speaker 6: What do you do with the napkins and the tub
Speaker 6: of clean okay?
Speaker 2: Assortment of drinks and look, that person will be urinating
Speaker 2: all night long if you try to drink all that
Speaker 2: before your show, even after your show.
Speaker 6: You know, remember once we did not have the writer
Speaker 6: or room requirements for an R and B singer, and
Speaker 6: he came and gave us so much attitude at the
Speaker 6: show that him and his entourage went back to the
Speaker 6: room and absolutely destroyed it. They threw feces on the walls,
Speaker 6: they urinated all over the floors. They smashed the TVs
Speaker 6: and they left.
Speaker 3: Give me the initials one M singer? Wait wait wait
Speaker 3: wait wait? Is that the first or last night? That's
Speaker 3: the first name?
Speaker 6: M is the initial the first list and he and
Speaker 6: he went by one. He was one of those one
Speaker 6: named artists. I bet I asked the last last initial
Speaker 6: of his first name is.
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, I know exactly who it is.
Speaker 3: I know exactly who it is. I was hoping it
Speaker 3: was Morrissey. You know what.
Speaker 2: The rock Riders, comparatively speaking, are more reasonable, not always,
Speaker 2: but like the food fighters, they asked for McDonald's, best
Speaker 2: Buy and Porno.
Speaker 7: I love it when people get so insane with fame
Speaker 7: that they start acting like Caligula. I demand a donkey,
Speaker 7: six tubes of super glue, a midget, and four bowling balls.
Speaker 3: That's politically correct. It's a height challenge person. Well, I was.
Speaker 2: I was role playing, okay, like I was talking about
Speaker 2: the food fighters. Dave Grohl also required that excess food
Speaker 2: must be donated to a local soup kitchen. That's not bad, No,
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. It's just different. It's a different
Speaker 2: I know for R and B and hip hop artists.
Speaker 2: It was almost like a status thing to have an
Speaker 2: outlandish tour rider just did.
Speaker 6: But I think it's some of the younger people because
Speaker 6: because I you remember, like Tina Marie rest in Peace.
Speaker 6: All Tina Marie wanted was to make sure we had
Speaker 6: a finely tuned white piano because that went with her set,
Speaker 6: and that was it. She was like, I just need
Speaker 6: she I don't need anything else. I'll bring whatever else
Speaker 6: I need. I just need to finally tuned white piano
Speaker 6: to play in Patti LaBelle. She was like, she just
Speaker 6: needs to make sure the floor is clean. Make sure
Speaker 6: that that the stage she's get to walk back, because
Speaker 6: she would be kicking off for shoes like that was
Speaker 6: one thing. She was like, just make sure the floor
Speaker 6: is clean because if I kick off my shoes, I
Speaker 6: cannot be walking on anything dirty don't have and no
Speaker 6: one can walk on the stage. Before she gets off,
Speaker 6: she said, no one could walk on the floor must
Speaker 6: be the the it must be waxed and clean.
Speaker 3: That was it.
Speaker 2: So when we know, that was a long way of saying,
Speaker 2: when we find out who's going to be performing at
Speaker 2: this fire Aid concert, we will let you know. But
Speaker 2: all this is being negotiated right now because of things
Speaker 2: just like this the tour writer.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: KFI mo Kelly, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app
Speaker 2: and it's been a long and difficult week for all
Speaker 2: of us. We hope to get back to regular programming
Speaker 2: on Later with mo Kelly next week, have some more fun,
Speaker 2: laugh a little bit more. But we had to take
Speaker 2: care of each other this week and making sure that
Speaker 2: all of you were taken care of. And next week
Speaker 2: we should have a few more laughs, get back to
Speaker 2: the regular inappropriate humor which we all know and love.
Speaker 2: Mark Ronner will be back with his usual deflections, distractions
Speaker 2: and destructive tendencies that we all know and love. This
Speaker 2: isn't the time for your crass insults.
Speaker 6: Moe.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I wouldn't dare do that, not on
Speaker 2: this week, because that's beneath me and I just have
Speaker 2: too much respect for you personally to do such a thing.
Speaker 2: Your sarcasm is doing just find it seems I don't
Speaker 2: know what you're talking about. Did want to let you
Speaker 2: know this. You may remember at pastathon we had an
Speaker 2: item that we were auctioning off, and it was the
Speaker 2: opportunity to co host later with Mo Kelly for not one,
Speaker 2: not two, but all three hours of the show. And
Speaker 2: we had a wonderful individual who stepped up and outbid
Speaker 2: a number of people for that opportunity, Paul Berry. And
Speaker 2: he's going to be joining us in studio at the
Speaker 2: end of the month January thirty first, the last day
Speaker 2: of the month. And yeah, it's a Friday, and we're
Speaker 2: gonna have a typical Friday show. We're gonna laugh, we're
Speaker 2: going to act foolish, we're gonna play name that movie
Speaker 2: cult classic. We're going to give away some prizes as well.
Speaker 2: Just got word we have some more mugs and some
Speaker 2: other Chotski's coming our way that we'll be giving way
Speaker 2: thanks to Neil Savadia.
Speaker 6: It's my understanding and I'm hoping that he spends some
Speaker 6: time talking about it. That our winner has a company
Speaker 6: that catalogs sounds from Disneyland and and and it's an
Speaker 6: audio experience of an audio tour of the park.
Speaker 3: I cannot wait.
Speaker 6: To hear about that experience, because sometimes I have gone
Speaker 6: to Dignel and just sat and closed my eyes and
Speaker 6: just take in the sounds, and I could go over
Speaker 6: to Adventureland and just all the sounds.
Speaker 3: I loved that concept.
Speaker 6: So when I heard him talking about it at Pasathon,
Speaker 6: I'm like, oh, you gotta promote this.
Speaker 2: Remain seated please samn and it's full for boy. Mark
Speaker 2: doesn't get that. He just he's never been to Disneyland,
Speaker 2: so he wouldn't understand that.
Speaker 3: Mark.
Speaker 7: I was busy doing important work to There's nothing going
Speaker 7: on in the world right now. There's not a juvenile
Speaker 7: nothing more important than this. Serious time remain present. Juvenile taunts,
Speaker 7: remain seated. Please you never heard that like on a
Speaker 7: matta horn. Wait, have you ever been to Disculine?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I think when I was like six years old, I
Speaker 3: went on the Oh my gosh, there we go. It's
Speaker 3: beneath him.
Speaker 2: It's too juvenile to go on a ride in an
Speaker 2: amusement park.
Speaker 3: Why is it fun to do that as an adult?
Speaker 3: Depends on who you're crazy.
Speaker 2: Take their side. She is an adult, she could speak
Speaker 2: her mind. She's barely an adult.
Speaker 3: Hey, hey, children are seen not hurt. Wait, whose side
Speaker 3: is everybody here?
Speaker 7: On?
Speaker 3: What is going on here? I'm on my side? Go
Speaker 3: ahead as well.
Speaker 5: No, Disneyland rules. You're crazy, Mark. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: It's also expensive.
Speaker 2: I have.
Speaker 3: If I'm going to spend that kind of dough, I
Speaker 3: have are things ahead of it in line.
Speaker 4: You could have gone at the holiday event for true
Speaker 4: for the price of zero.
Speaker 2: Well, I may if we're still doing that in the future.
Speaker 2: But you could have gone just a few months ago.
Speaker 2: You didn't take the opportunity. I probably had to work.
Speaker 2: I work all the time. Have you noticed I never
Speaker 2: take days off unless I have, like dental surgery.
Speaker 3: Well, you keep making these excuses. You have to make
Speaker 3: time for that, which is important. I have to serve
Speaker 3: our listeners first and foremost. Morris William, why you got
Speaker 3: to bring my government name, because that indicates the seriousness
Speaker 3: of the situation, Isabella. He's just jealous because I got
Speaker 3: my William as my middle name before he got his.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 2: That's what it is. Good bragging about your age. There, Grandpa,
Speaker 2: that's all right, Get off my damn law. Get off
Speaker 2: my laws. Not the time to spray anybody down with
Speaker 2: your host and take your bicycle with you. Peddle away,
Speaker 2: pedal away. You go home and soak your teeth. It's
Speaker 2: almost ten o'clock. You know, Isabella, do you get that reference.
Speaker 2: I'm be serious, Okay, just want to make sure. Okay,
Speaker 2: you know, people getting implants and everything. You don't get
Speaker 2: to see dentures like you used to when I was
Speaker 2: going up. I just assume my dad was like born
Speaker 2: with only twenty eight teeth or something.
Speaker 3: Oh, let me tell you.
Speaker 7: At the one of the first newspaper I ever worked at,
Speaker 7: there was a there was the local car dealer, the
Speaker 7: big car dealer in town in Lafayette, Indiana. We got
Speaker 7: leaked video outtakes of a commercial. This guy's dentures flying
Speaker 7: out as he was filming the commercial. It's the best
Speaker 7: thing I've ever seen. Look, I am not going to
Speaker 7: ever wear dentures. I will have holes in my smile
Speaker 7: or I'll get some implants. I don't know if I
Speaker 7: knew implants. Again, that was a horrible experience. Let me
Speaker 7: tell you, Oh, I've got a couple of those coming up.
Speaker 7: If you could not go into detail, you need to.
Speaker 3: Know. You don't want to be surprised. I'm already petrified.
Speaker 3: You need to know when they're going to drill through
Speaker 3: your jaw. I have the drugs lined up so far
Speaker 3: in advance. I don't want to even These are nothing
Speaker 3: like the sound and smell of a dentist drilling through
Speaker 3: your job.
