<v Speaker 2>and Roll History Show. Hello, everybody, Welcome back to the

11
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Rock and Roll History Show on Hudson River Radio. I'm

12
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Brian Horowitz. It's not exactly news that it's been ridiculously

13
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:35.880
<v Speaker 2>hot outside, and so it's only seemed natural that we

14
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:38.399
<v Speaker 2>decided to do a bunch of songs about being hot

15
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:42.039
<v Speaker 2>in hot weather and just general stickiness.

16
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:42.920
<v Speaker 7>And all that.

17
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:46.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but we'll get into more of that in a moment. First,

18
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:49.000
<v Speaker 2>allow me to introduce all the cranbones who are joining

19
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:53.159
<v Speaker 2>us here tonight. First and foremost, from the Richter Observatory,

20
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:57.039
<v Speaker 2>he read that humans eat more bananas than monkeys because

21
00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:00.920
<v Speaker 2>humans rarely eat monkeys. Richt is here.

22
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:03.320
<v Speaker 8>I'll speak speak for yourself, you.

23
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:06.439
<v Speaker 2>Know, I said rarely a little a little.

24
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:11.280
<v Speaker 8>Robes with monkeys. You know, how are you doing? Everybody?

25
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:16.519
<v Speaker 2>Sound like we have a new topic. Yeah, and from

26
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:20.680
<v Speaker 2>paranormally yours She burned two thousand calories today. She left

27
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:24.120
<v Speaker 2>the brownies in the oven too long. Gail Lupam is here.

28
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:26.920
<v Speaker 3>That's about the only way to do that.

29
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:28.920
<v Speaker 8>Hello.

30
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:32.799
<v Speaker 2>From the silver screen. She saw a guy with a

31
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:36.799
<v Speaker 2>giraffe walk into a bar. The giraffe drank so much

32
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:39.840
<v Speaker 2>that it just passed out on the floor, totally unconscious.

33
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:42.879
<v Speaker 2>The guy gets up to leave, and the bartender says, hey,

34
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:45.640
<v Speaker 2>you can't leave that lion here. And the guy says,

35
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:49.560
<v Speaker 2>it's not a lion, it's a giraffe, you idiot. Mercedes

36
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:50.239
<v Speaker 2>can't get here.

37
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:54.400
<v Speaker 9>Hey, I just want to know, did anybody pick a

38
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:56.959
<v Speaker 9>song about people being hot.

39
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:00.359
<v Speaker 7>Hot?

40
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:03.400
<v Speaker 2>You know, I didn't even think. I didn't, sort of

41
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:05.799
<v Speaker 2>sort of telling me at the end.

42
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:08.159
<v Speaker 10>Didn't even come to mind.

43
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:11.319
<v Speaker 2>That's a good one, that's true, It really didn't. I

44
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:13.319
<v Speaker 2>think mine might fit the bill. You tell me when

45
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:13.680
<v Speaker 2>we get.

46
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:15.199
<v Speaker 9>Okay, all right, we'll check it out.

47
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:19.240
<v Speaker 2>All right, sounds good. And our officially retired teacher he

48
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:22.800
<v Speaker 2>heard that horses can't join the army only the naybe.

49
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:24.919
<v Speaker 2>John Kelly is here.

50
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:30.520
<v Speaker 4>Oh wow, Brian, I was good and no really locome.

51
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:30.960
<v Speaker 2>So thanks.

52
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:33.240
<v Speaker 1>In the dad joke.

53
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:36.560
<v Speaker 2>Realm, Yeah, it was good, fair enough, and last, but

54
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:39.199
<v Speaker 2>not least, the host of shaving Cream, She learned that

55
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:53.039
<v Speaker 2>Forrest Gump's favorite pasta is pennay. Oh man, I'm sorry.

56
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:55.800
<v Speaker 11>All right, everybody unlike me, stay cool. And I mean

57
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:58.039
<v Speaker 11>that like literally and figuratively.

58
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:03.120
<v Speaker 2>I wish I think in Boston it's a which wicked scorcher.

59
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:04.199
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

60
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:06.879
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I do the accent very well, but

61
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:11.080
<v Speaker 2>you get the idea. Yeah, it's been disgusting just watching

62
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:13.479
<v Speaker 2>the electric meter turn and turn and turn and turn

63
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:18.159
<v Speaker 2>and turn. And yeah, so let's have some fun with

64
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:20.560
<v Speaker 2>hot music. At least maybe you'll cool us off for

65
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.759
<v Speaker 2>a little bit. We'll jump right in and Gail, won't

66
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:24.639
<v Speaker 2>you lead us off tonight?

67
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:30.120
<v Speaker 3>Okay? Jokay. Well, last week, after after last week's show,

68
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:35.680
<v Speaker 3>when we were discussing what topic to choose, this particular

69
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:40.840
<v Speaker 3>song came right into my mind. And it's very very,

70
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:46.680
<v Speaker 3>very very nostalgic for me. It's called Hot Fun in

71
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:51.840
<v Speaker 3>the Summertime by sly on the Family's Stone. And I

72
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:56.000
<v Speaker 3>remember when this came out. And it's interesting because this

73
00:03:56.080 --> 00:04:00.639
<v Speaker 3>came out in nineteen sixty nine. I was nine at

74
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:04.599
<v Speaker 3>the time, but I remember no because I have I

75
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:08.080
<v Speaker 3>have a sister who's seven and a half years older

76
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:11.520
<v Speaker 3>than me, so I was listening to the music that

77
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:17.279
<v Speaker 3>she was listening to, And so anytime I hear this song,

78
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:25.000
<v Speaker 3>it's just kind of brings back, like mellow memories from back.

79
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:28.920
<v Speaker 2>Then before air conditioning it was much more common.

80
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:35.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, absolutely absolutely. My parents had one in the master

81
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:40.759
<v Speaker 3>bedroom and that was it. And of course, you know

82
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:43.959
<v Speaker 3>the house we lived and didn't have central air, it

83
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:48.319
<v Speaker 3>was built before I was born, so but we survived.

84
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:50.319
<v Speaker 3>But when I was a kid.

85
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:53.879
<v Speaker 11>I don't remember being hot and miserable, feeling hot.

86
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:58.199
<v Speaker 8>Like now.

87
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:00.800
<v Speaker 2>The worst was trying to sleep when it was hot

88
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:03.759
<v Speaker 2>and miserable. Yeah, like during the day, especially as a kid,

89
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:06.480
<v Speaker 2>you're up and playing and you're not really thinking about it,

90
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:09.879
<v Speaker 2>you know, but sleep when it's one hundred degrees in

91
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:11.519
<v Speaker 2>your bedroom.

92
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:16.720
<v Speaker 3>And we had this cat when I was little, and

93
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:20.800
<v Speaker 3>she was crazy. She was an absolute harodin, but I

94
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:25.040
<v Speaker 3>adored her. And you know how in the summer, you

95
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:29.920
<v Speaker 3>don't sleep with a comforter or something unless you have

96
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.639
<v Speaker 3>air conditioning in your room. So at that time, we

97
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:37.439
<v Speaker 3>would sleep with just a sheet on top of us. Well,

98
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:40.600
<v Speaker 3>all you had to do was move your feet under

99
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:44.399
<v Speaker 3>that sheet with the cat in the room, and you

100
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:50.199
<v Speaker 3>would wake up with no toes because she loved to

101
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:54.480
<v Speaker 3>attack feats. And she was quite young back then. She

102
00:05:54.560 --> 00:06:01.680
<v Speaker 3>was only born in sixty four, sixty five, so she

103
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:04.480
<v Speaker 3>was still pretty pretty young.

104
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:06.680
<v Speaker 2>So she's what sixty two now.

105
00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:10.560
<v Speaker 3>She actually lived to eighteen.

106
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

107
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:16.160
<v Speaker 3>And it was awful because when she became ill and

108
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:19.720
<v Speaker 3>had to be helped to cross over to the other side,

109
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:23.480
<v Speaker 3>I was devastated because she was she was only four

110
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:29.439
<v Speaker 3>years younger than me, and it was absolutely devastating. But

111
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:34.240
<v Speaker 3>I have so many memories of her because she was

112
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:40.879
<v Speaker 3>just so so crazy and fun and obnoxious. But anyway,

113
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:48.800
<v Speaker 3>back to the song. The song as I Said came

114
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:52.399
<v Speaker 3>out in nineteen sixty nine and it was recorded by

115
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:57.639
<v Speaker 3>Sly and the Family Stone. It was released just prior

116
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:03.959
<v Speaker 3>to the band's higher file performance at Woodstock, which greatly

117
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:08.480
<v Speaker 3>expanded their fan base. The song peaked at number two

118
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:13.040
<v Speaker 3>on the US Billboard Hot one hundred Singles chart, only

119
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:16.360
<v Speaker 3>kept out of the number one spot by I Can't

120
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:19.879
<v Speaker 3>Get Next to You by the Temptations, which is another awesome,

121
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:22.839
<v Speaker 3>awesome song, but has nothing to do with summertime.

122
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:29.279
<v Speaker 9>H unless you're talking about the peat and everybody's sweaty

123
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:31.360
<v Speaker 9>and you get next to sweaty people.

124
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

125
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:32.360
<v Speaker 8>True.

126
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:39.720
<v Speaker 3>Hot Fun in the Summertime also peaked at number three

127
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:44.199
<v Speaker 3>on the US Billboards Soul Singles Chart in autumn of

128
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:48.839
<v Speaker 3>nineteen sixty nine. It is ranked as the seventh biggest

129
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:54.199
<v Speaker 3>US hit of nineteen sixty nine and the sixty fifth

130
00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:57.519
<v Speaker 3>in Canada. I guess it didn't go over quite as

131
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:01.920
<v Speaker 3>well in Canada. Rolling Stone ranked the song numbers.

132
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:04.439
<v Speaker 9>Because it's cooler there, yeah exactly.

133
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:08.680
<v Speaker 3>Rolling Stone ranked the song two hundred and forty seven

134
00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:12.480
<v Speaker 3>on their list of the five hundred Greatest Songs of

135
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:16.720
<v Speaker 3>all Time, and it's also been named in lists by

136
00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:22.040
<v Speaker 3>Yahoo Music and ask Men as an all time summer anthem,

137
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.319
<v Speaker 3>which is why it just totally popped into my head

138
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:32.720
<v Speaker 3>when we decided on this topic. Thematically, it's a dedication

139
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:35.519
<v Speaker 3>to the fun and games to be had during the summer.

140
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:39.639
<v Speaker 3>It was intended to be included on an in progress

141
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.360
<v Speaker 3>album at the time, with Everybody as a Star and

142
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:47.399
<v Speaker 3>Thank You for letting Me be Myself Again. That LP

143
00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:51.960
<v Speaker 3>was never completed, and the three tracks were instead included

144
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:59.240
<v Speaker 3>on the band's nineteen seventy Greatest hits LP. This song

145
00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:03.399
<v Speaker 3>is known for its rare use of strings in a

146
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:08.639
<v Speaker 3>sly and the family Stone song featuring violins being played

147
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:12.440
<v Speaker 3>in the rest. Let's have a listen, and then I'll

148
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:16.519
<v Speaker 3>tell you a few things about the band and the

149
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:18.639
<v Speaker 3>spring and.

150
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:39.559
<v Speaker 12>She him some day some day.

151
00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:44.440
<v Speaker 7>That's when I have the vines.

152
00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:55.519
<v Speaker 1>Well some day.

153
00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:04.120
<v Speaker 6>Some day, Well.

154
00:10:12.120 --> 00:11:11.600
<v Speaker 13>Country bear in the country, sir, everything.

155
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:53.879
<v Speaker 12>That she goes bye bye bye bye.

156
00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:38.759
<v Speaker 14>Fun s.

157
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:24.679
<v Speaker 12>How did everybody is cool?

158
00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:42.159
<v Speaker 3>Is that just the most mellow, wonderful, takes you back,

159
00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:45.720
<v Speaker 3>comforting kind of song? That was golden?

160
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:47.120
<v Speaker 1>It is?

161
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:52.480
<v Speaker 3>It is actually before I tell you about Sling the

162
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:56.840
<v Speaker 3>Family Stone. Believe it or not. The Beach Boys covered

163
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:05.080
<v Speaker 3>that in nineteen ninety two on their album called Summer

164
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:11.480
<v Speaker 3>in Paradise. I the Beach Boys is a completely different sound.

165
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:13.919
<v Speaker 3>So I'm not even gonna look that up and listen

166
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:20.279
<v Speaker 3>to it, because I'm perfectly happy with the original. Supposedly,

167
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:24.960
<v Speaker 3>it was performed on stage in HBO's nineteen eighty one

168
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:30.840
<v Speaker 3>television special The Peewee Harman Show. The song was also

169
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:34.919
<v Speaker 3>covered by a group called The Party, which was originally

170
00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:38.440
<v Speaker 3>supposed to be on their nineteen ninety two album Free

171
00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:42.159
<v Speaker 3>but was then released on their nineteen ninety three album

172
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:46.559
<v Speaker 3>The Party's Over, Thanks for Coming. It was covered in

173
00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:50.559
<v Speaker 3>nineteen eighty two with somewhat greater chart success by a

174
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:54.279
<v Speaker 3>funk outfit known as Dayton which I've never heard of,

175
00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:59.679
<v Speaker 3>and again covered in nineteen ninety five by the Manhattan

176
00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:06.600
<v Speaker 3>trans For featuring vocals by Shaka Kahn. Genesis vocalist and

177
00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:11.799
<v Speaker 3>drummer Phil Collins cited the song as one of the

178
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:17.000
<v Speaker 3>musical inspirations for his song Misunderstanding, and the members of

179
00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:21.279
<v Speaker 3>Toto have also cited it as an inspiration for hold

180
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:22.159
<v Speaker 3>the line.

181
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:23.320
<v Speaker 8>I can hear that.

182
00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:26.200
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, definitely both, Yeah yeah.

183
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:33.960
<v Speaker 3>The personnel in the song were Sly Stone on vocals

184
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:37.840
<v Speaker 3>and piano, Freddie Stone, his brother on vocals and guitar,

185
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:44.159
<v Speaker 3>Larry Graham on vocals and bass guitar, Rose Stone, their

186
00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:52.559
<v Speaker 3>sister on vocals, Cynthia Robinson on trumpet, Jerry Martini on saxophone,

187
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:59.879
<v Speaker 3>and Greg Erico on drums. Interesting fun fact was that

188
00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:10.360
<v Speaker 3>Freddie and Sly were both guitarists, so they decided that

189
00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:13.639
<v Speaker 3>Freddie would be the one to play the guitar in

190
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:20.440
<v Speaker 3>the band, and Sly learned keyboards, so that's that's inventive.

191
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:23.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. They were one of the first, if not the first.

192
00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:25.399
<v Speaker 2>They had a female trumpeter.

193
00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:33.440
<v Speaker 3>Yes, run yeah, and they kind of invented psychedelic soul

194
00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:38.679
<v Speaker 3>from what I understand, and there were a big influence

195
00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:49.200
<v Speaker 3>on following American popular music. They had a series of

196
00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:52.840
<v Speaker 3>top ten Billboard Hot one hundred hits such as Dance

197
00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:57.240
<v Speaker 3>to the Music in nineteen sixty eight, Everyday People nineteen

198
00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:02.039
<v Speaker 3>sixty eight, This One in ninet eighteen sixty nine, Thank

199
00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:05.519
<v Speaker 3>You for Letting Me Be Mice Elf Again in nineteen

200
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:11.480
<v Speaker 3>sixty nine, and critically acclaimed albums such as Stand in

201
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:18.080
<v Speaker 3>nineteen sixty nine, which combined pop sensibility with social commentary, which,

202
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:25.120
<v Speaker 3>as we may remember back then, was in style now.

203
00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:29.320
<v Speaker 3>In the nineteen seventies, their sound transitioned into a darker

204
00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:34.039
<v Speaker 3>and less commercial funk sound on releases such as There's

205
00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:36.720
<v Speaker 3>a Riot going On which I don't think I've ever

206
00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:43.120
<v Speaker 3>heard and Fresh in nineteen seventy three. Unfortunately, by nineteen

207
00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:48.000
<v Speaker 3>seventy five, drug problems and interpersonal clashes, probably caused by

208
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:52.480
<v Speaker 3>the drug problems, led to dissolution of the band, although

209
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:56.840
<v Speaker 3>Sly continued to record and tour with a new rotating

210
00:15:57.039 --> 00:16:00.879
<v Speaker 3>lineup under the name Sly and the Family Stone until

211
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:05.840
<v Speaker 3>his own drug problems forced his effective retirement in nineteen

212
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:11.320
<v Speaker 3>eighty seven. Now he only passed away in twenty twenty five,

213
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:17.159
<v Speaker 3>and considering the issues that he had, I'm kind of

214
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:18.720
<v Speaker 3>amazed that he lived that long.

215
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:22.639
<v Speaker 8>If I'm not mistaken, I might be. But didn't he

216
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:25.279
<v Speaker 8>like end up living like in a van or something

217
00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:28.200
<v Speaker 8>like that, or you know, like he was somehow he

218
00:16:28.279 --> 00:16:30.720
<v Speaker 8>was destitute. He lost all his money, and.

219
00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:36.559
<v Speaker 3>That's, yeah, unfortunately.

220
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:40.200
<v Speaker 8>Because he was he was also a producer before sliming

221
00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:43.759
<v Speaker 8>Family Stone, he was, so he was in the business

222
00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:47.440
<v Speaker 8>a long time and I would imagine probably did all

223
00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:53.039
<v Speaker 8>right financially, So to lose all that, well, you know what,

224
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:54.600
<v Speaker 8>don't take drugs.

225
00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:57.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, unfortunately, that's what happens sometimes.

226
00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:00.279
<v Speaker 8>And I don't take that many drugs, right.

227
00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:05.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. He died on June ninth, twenty twenty five, at

228
00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:10.599
<v Speaker 3>the age of eighty two, from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

229
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:16.799
<v Speaker 3>COPD and other underlying health conditions, of which I imagine he

230
00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:18.079
<v Speaker 3>had several.

231
00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:23.920
<v Speaker 8>But I think you're right, living eighty two with all that,

232
00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:26.359
<v Speaker 8>that's pretty good. Yeah.

233
00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:28.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, But then look at Keith Richards.

234
00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:30.519
<v Speaker 9>Oh my gosh.

235
00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:31.240
<v Speaker 4>Wow.

236
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:36.920
<v Speaker 8>Well that's that's the problem, you know. You get people say, oh,

237
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:39.640
<v Speaker 8>look I can do all this. Look at Keith Richards.

238
00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:42.519
<v Speaker 8>He No, he's like one in a billion.

239
00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:45.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that's why we keep bringing him up

240
00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:46.960
<v Speaker 2>when we talk about things like that.

241
00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:49.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because he's the exception.

242
00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:55.039
<v Speaker 9>Fly in the family Zone in nineteen seventy two Madison

243
00:17:55.039 --> 00:18:01.759
<v Speaker 9>Square Guard Wow, Yeah, wow, third contract ever. I was young.

244
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:05.799
<v Speaker 9>They were great, they were amazing.

245
00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:10.200
<v Speaker 11>Well back some years ago when I saw Elton John

246
00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:13.039
<v Speaker 11>at Bethel Woods, he made an announcement that some of

247
00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:16.759
<v Speaker 11>his backup singers were from the Family Stone. I don't

248
00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:18.759
<v Speaker 11>know what lineup he was talking about, and it was

249
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:22.000
<v Speaker 11>so long ago. I don't remember which, you know, what

250
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:24.799
<v Speaker 11>their names or whatever he said that, but I remember

251
00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:27.599
<v Speaker 11>being really impressed and surprised.

252
00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:28.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

253
00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:30.119
<v Speaker 2>Definitely, very cool.

254
00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:34.160
<v Speaker 3>All Right, That's all that's all I got. But I love, love,

255
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:37.440
<v Speaker 3>love the song, and I hope our listeners do too.

256
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:40.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. That hits the topic right on the head. Definitely,

257
00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:41.200
<v Speaker 2>I can argue that.

258
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:42.240
<v Speaker 8>All right.

259
00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Thanks gle uh Neil, We're up to you.

260
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.480
<v Speaker 8>All right. My fun in the Summertime Sun song for

261
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:56.160
<v Speaker 8>today is called on the Beach by the band The Rattlers. Now,

262
00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:58.920
<v Speaker 8>the Rattlers weren't American rock band formed in New York

263
00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:02.039
<v Speaker 8>City in nineteen seven seventy nine. The band was led

264
00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:07.400
<v Speaker 8>by vocalist guitarist Mickey Lee, who was born Mitchell Lee

265
00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:12.480
<v Speaker 8>Hyman in nineteen fifty four. He also happens to be

266
00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:16.640
<v Speaker 8>the younger brother of Jeffrey Hyman, who you'd probably know

267
00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:21.079
<v Speaker 8>by his stage name. A little more, uh, he went

268
00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:25.599
<v Speaker 8>by the name Joey Ramone, the vocalist for The Ramones. Obviously,

269
00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:33.440
<v Speaker 8>so yes, Mickey is Joey's brother. Now the family connection

270
00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:36.319
<v Speaker 8>goes a little further. But let me start off by saying, no,

271
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:40.880
<v Speaker 8>the Ramones were not all related. They adopted that surname.

272
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:44.160
<v Speaker 8>They were not related. They were not family. Okay, But

273
00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:48.440
<v Speaker 8>when Mickey was fourteen he played in a band with

274
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:53.839
<v Speaker 8>future Ramones Johnny and Tommy, and early on in the

275
00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:57.759
<v Speaker 8>Ramones career, Mickey served as the band's roadie and tech guy.

276
00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:01.960
<v Speaker 8>So he was there, he was in on it. Now,

277
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:04.920
<v Speaker 8>The Rattlers had a similar vocal style to the Ramones,

278
00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:08.440
<v Speaker 8>of course, with Joey and Mickey being brothers and all,

279
00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:11.440
<v Speaker 8>but the Rattlers had more of a power pop style

280
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:16.880
<v Speaker 8>to their sound as opposed to straight up punk. Now

281
00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:21.400
<v Speaker 8>The Ratler's independently released nineteen seventy nine debut single of

282
00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:25.200
<v Speaker 8>on the Beach actually featured Joey helping out on some vocals,

283
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:28.920
<v Speaker 8>and the song was then re recorded for their only

284
00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:32.960
<v Speaker 8>full length album called Rattled in nineteen eighty five. And

285
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:38.480
<v Speaker 8>that's the version we're going to hear in just a moment. Now.

286
00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:41.680
<v Speaker 8>On the Beach is basically a love song with a

287
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:47.400
<v Speaker 8>decidedly sci fi vibe to it. It's about a radioactive

288
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:52.240
<v Speaker 8>sea monster that comes ashore and steals the singer's girlfriend,

289
00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:56.599
<v Speaker 8>leaving him to wonder if he will ever see her again.

290
00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:00.640
<v Speaker 8>So pass the tanning butter and let's give it a sure.

291
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:10.079
<v Speaker 7>And be chilled by the sea.

292
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:15.640
<v Speaker 1>That's when she said she went on Sleep Deep. From

293
00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:19.440
<v Speaker 1>wil Deep, she took Goods back to live it.

00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:24.559
<v Speaker 14>Just can't believe that is true.

308
00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:29.519
<v Speaker 15>One thing I know, I'm letting her go. Don't people

<v Speaker 19>Something came from way yeuse team speak to those facts.

<v Speaker 3>That was awesome.

318
00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:44.799
<v Speaker 12>I was good.

319
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:48.880
<v Speaker 8>I love that song. Yeah now. Although it did get

320
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:53.599
<v Speaker 8>good critical reception, with music journalist Robert Christgau calling it

321
00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:56.920
<v Speaker 8>one of the top fifty albums of nineteen eighty five,

322
00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:03.519
<v Speaker 8>but otherwise the album Rattled was pretty much widely ignored.

323
00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:07.519
<v Speaker 8>But the band did play around New York City and

324
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:11.079
<v Speaker 8>did tour with bands like the B fifty two's The Clash,

325
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:14.759
<v Speaker 8>Jon Jet and the Blackhearts and many other legendary bands

326
00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:17.680
<v Speaker 8>of the time before they called it quits in nineteen

327
00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:23.079
<v Speaker 8>eighty eight. Now Ever, since Joey's I'm Sorry. Mickey's brother

328
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:26.519
<v Speaker 8>Joey passed away in two thousand and one. Mickey has

329
00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:29.200
<v Speaker 8>held an annual concert in New York City to honor

330
00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:34.599
<v Speaker 8>his birthday, which is aptly called the Joey Ramon Birthday Bash.

331
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:38.480
<v Speaker 8>And the event features numerous artisan bands, and I've attended

332
00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:41.240
<v Speaker 8>many of them, not all of them, but many of them.

333
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:46.000
<v Speaker 8>And in twenty eleven it actually included a set by

334
00:24:46.039 --> 00:24:49.839
<v Speaker 8>a reunited Rattlers, so that was pretty cool. And in

335
00:24:49.880 --> 00:24:54.440
<v Speaker 8>recent years Mickey's included his current musical project called Mickey

336
00:24:54.559 --> 00:24:56.599
<v Speaker 8>Lee's Mutated Music.

337
00:24:58.200 --> 00:24:58.799
<v Speaker 3>I Like that.

338
00:25:01.480 --> 00:25:01.680
<v Speaker 4>Now.

339
00:25:01.720 --> 00:25:06.000
<v Speaker 8>In two thousand and nine, Mickey published a book called

340
00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:14.200
<v Speaker 8>I Slept with Joey Ramone, A family memoir. Yes, pretty clever.

341
00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:17.680
<v Speaker 8>It's a good book. I recommend it because in twenty

342
00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:21.079
<v Speaker 8>twenty one, there were plans announced from Netflix to make

343
00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:25.119
<v Speaker 8>a movie based on the book, with Pete Davidson scheduled

344
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:29.400
<v Speaker 8>to play Joey Ramone. But just recently, after a long

345
00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:34.200
<v Speaker 8>legal battle, a settlement was reached regarding the control of

346
00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:38.920
<v Speaker 8>the Ramones estate between Mickey and Johnny Ramone's widow, Linda.

347
00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:41.799
<v Speaker 8>They both had a fifty to fifty share and they've

348
00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:45.920
<v Speaker 8>been going back and forth for a while, but the

349
00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:49.599
<v Speaker 8>decision basically she bought him out and got total control

350
00:25:49.640 --> 00:25:52.400
<v Speaker 8>of the estate. So unfortunately that leaves the future of

351
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:56.000
<v Speaker 8>the film kind of in doubt. But yeah, you know

352
00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:59.960
<v Speaker 8>what they say, life's a beach. Now go to a concert.

353
00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:06.119
<v Speaker 2>Excellent, All right, thanks Neil. We are going to take

354
00:26:06.119 --> 00:26:09.480
<v Speaker 2>a real quick break. Go cool off, top off the drink.

355
00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:11.839
<v Speaker 2>Come right back. We have a lot more lined up.

356
00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:15.799
<v Speaker 2>Hudson River Radio. Your dog likes us.

357
00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:19.440
<v Speaker 3>This concludes the first part of this cassette.

358
00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:22.440
<v Speaker 9>Please turn the cassette over and begin again on side

359
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:30.839
<v Speaker 9>to This is Hudson River Radio dot Com.

360
00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Ah right, all right, welcome back. It's still hot, but

361
00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:43.519
<v Speaker 2>we're doing it. We're getting the job done in all

362
00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:45.640
<v Speaker 2>this heat, because that's how much we care about what

363
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:47.599
<v Speaker 2>we do here on the Rock and Roll History Show.

364
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:50.400
<v Speaker 2>So Mercedes shows how it's done.

365
00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:54.640
<v Speaker 9>Alrighty, then, I don't know why I've been taking these

366
00:26:54.680 --> 00:26:57.759
<v Speaker 9>big swings lately. Last week I did Prince lots of

367
00:26:57.799 --> 00:27:02.920
<v Speaker 9>research and writing, And this week is Jannis Chaplin. Unless

368
00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:05.400
<v Speaker 9>you were born under a boulder, I am betting that

369
00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:07.720
<v Speaker 9>you've heard of her. We all know that she played

370
00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:10.559
<v Speaker 9>at Woodstock with big brother in the holding company. We

371
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:13.319
<v Speaker 9>all know that she had a substance abuse issue and

372
00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:16.480
<v Speaker 9>died of hair and overdose, and that she had a

373
00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:20.359
<v Speaker 9>dynamic stage presence and a powerhouse of a voice. You

374
00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:23.160
<v Speaker 9>probably know her songs like Me and Bobby McGhee, her

375
00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:26.559
<v Speaker 9>only number one hit, Piece of My Heart, Cry Baby

376
00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:30.119
<v Speaker 9>Down on Me, Ball and Chain, and Summertime, as well

377
00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:35.640
<v Speaker 9>as her original song Mercedes Benz, which was her final recording.

378
00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:38.759
<v Speaker 9>Once you dig in, this so much about her and

379
00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:43.359
<v Speaker 9>her life like so much, so let's start with the basics.

380
00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:46.920
<v Speaker 9>She was born Janie Lynn Joplin in nineteen forty three

381
00:27:46.960 --> 00:27:50.759
<v Speaker 9>in Texas. When she hit her teens, it was obvious

382
00:27:50.799 --> 00:27:53.920
<v Speaker 9>to her parents that she needed more attention than her siblings,

383
00:27:54.519 --> 00:27:57.960
<v Speaker 9>and she started spending time with a group of outcasts.

384
00:27:58.640 --> 00:28:03.599
<v Speaker 9>In high school, she was terror bullied and ostracized, voted

385
00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:12.400
<v Speaker 9>the ugliest man on campus. Oh yeah, and she became

386
00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:17.079
<v Speaker 9>overweight and struggled with severe acne. But through her new

387
00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:21.319
<v Speaker 9>friends group, she learned of blues artists Bessie Smith, Marainey

388
00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:24.440
<v Speaker 9>and Led Belly, and later credited them with her influencing

389
00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:28.359
<v Speaker 9>her with influencing her decision to become a singer. Her

390
00:28:28.400 --> 00:28:32.119
<v Speaker 9>first song, What Good Can Drink and Do, was recorded

391
00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:35.240
<v Speaker 9>in December nineteen sixty two at the home of a

392
00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:38.799
<v Speaker 9>fellow student. But Texas was not working for her, so

393
00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:42.519
<v Speaker 9>she hitchhiked to San Francisco with a friend. There, she

394
00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:45.519
<v Speaker 9>met a guitarist who later became the guitarist for Jefferson

395
00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:48.599
<v Speaker 9>Airplane and recorded a bunch of blues standards with his

396
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:52.039
<v Speaker 9>wife in the background using a typewriter, and these were

397
00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:58.839
<v Speaker 9>later called the Typewriter Tapes, which were released posthumously. Soon after,

398
00:28:58.920 --> 00:29:03.359
<v Speaker 9>her friend were noticing her physical decline from drugs and alcohol.

399
00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:06.519
<v Speaker 9>They threw a bus fair party to return her to

400
00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:10.359
<v Speaker 9>her parents' home in Texas. She weighed eighty eight pounds.

401
00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:16.000
<v Speaker 9>In Port Arthur, she changed her lifestyle, got clean, and

402
00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:21.680
<v Speaker 9>enrolled as an anthropology major at lamar University. She got engaged,

403
00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:24.039
<v Speaker 9>but while she and her mother were planning the wedding,

404
00:29:24.319 --> 00:29:29.160
<v Speaker 9>he called off the engagement another slap in the face.

405
00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:32.319
<v Speaker 9>So back in San Francisco, Big Brother and the Holding

406
00:29:32.359 --> 00:29:35.559
<v Speaker 9>Company Band reached out to her and she returned to California,

407
00:29:35.599 --> 00:29:38.440
<v Speaker 9>and in nineteen sixty eight they released the album Cheap

408
00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:42.079
<v Speaker 9>Thrills with piece of my heartball chain in summertime after

409
00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:47.759
<v Speaker 9>playing the Monterey Pop Festival. Summertime obviously if you haven't

410
00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:51.160
<v Speaker 9>picked that up by now is my summer heat song.

00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:38.720
<v Speaker 10>Damn very emailo. You know what I could do a

431
00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:42.599
<v Speaker 10>vibe of just sitting in an old kind of like

432
00:33:42.799 --> 00:33:48.279
<v Speaker 10>nightclub late at night after quieted down. It's hot, it's steamy,

433
00:33:48.359 --> 00:33:50.799
<v Speaker 10>there ain't no air conditioning, and you're just sweating there

434
00:33:51.359 --> 00:33:53.240
<v Speaker 10>with a drink in hand. You know, it just has

435
00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:54.240
<v Speaker 10>that whole vibe.

436
00:33:54.680 --> 00:33:56.880
<v Speaker 9>Oh John, will you take me there? Because I'd like

437
00:33:56.960 --> 00:34:03.079
<v Speaker 9>to go there right now. I'm down sure, I'm.

438
00:34:02.920 --> 00:34:05.279
<v Speaker 2>Good with all that except the hot and sweaty part.

439
00:34:06.279 --> 00:34:07.119
<v Speaker 5>I like the hot and.

440
00:34:07.160 --> 00:34:08.880
<v Speaker 9>Sweaty, so I have no problem with that.

441
00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:11.559
<v Speaker 8>Well, you know you mentioned them. You know that she

442
00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:15.400
<v Speaker 8>played at Woodstock in at Monterey. But it was small

443
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:18.519
<v Speaker 8>places like that that a lot of these groups got started.

444
00:34:18.559 --> 00:34:22.000
<v Speaker 8>And that's where they really sounded like that, you know.

445
00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:26.760
<v Speaker 8>So it wasn't all like the huge festivals, right, It

446
00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:29.280
<v Speaker 8>was little places like that that they played like that.

447
00:34:29.800 --> 00:34:31.599
<v Speaker 8>I think there was a place I've never been there.

448
00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:33.960
<v Speaker 8>I didn't grow up in California or San Francisco, but

449
00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:37.159
<v Speaker 8>like clubs like I think the Matrix, and there was

450
00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:42.599
<v Speaker 8>another one, and they weren't that big, you know, a

451
00:34:42.679 --> 00:34:45.639
<v Speaker 8>lot came out of them. But you think that, oh

452
00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:50.119
<v Speaker 8>there was some you know, these these big auspicious places. No,

453
00:34:50.280 --> 00:34:52.719
<v Speaker 8>they weren't same thing here with New York. There were

454
00:34:52.760 --> 00:34:54.960
<v Speaker 8>places like that too, But I digress.

455
00:34:56.039 --> 00:34:57.920
<v Speaker 9>I would love to see here in a small place

456
00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:01.719
<v Speaker 9>like that. I think that would be my one, not

457
00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:05.280
<v Speaker 9>my only, but my one of my regrets of not

458
00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:08.719
<v Speaker 9>being able to see people live as her. So a

459
00:35:08.760 --> 00:35:11.079
<v Speaker 9>little bit about the song itself. It was written by

460
00:35:11.159 --> 00:35:13.400
<v Speaker 9>and this is kind of questionable. I don't know. There's

461
00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:15.239
<v Speaker 9>a couple of different places that I read a couple

462
00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:18.079
<v Speaker 9>of different things. It was written by Ira Gershwin, George

463
00:35:18.199 --> 00:35:24.320
<v Speaker 9>and George Gershwin, Dubos, Heywood, and Dorothy Haywood, which some

464
00:35:24.559 --> 00:35:29.519
<v Speaker 9>said just George Gershwin and wrote the music, and that

465
00:35:30.239 --> 00:35:34.159
<v Speaker 9>Dubos wrote the lyrics. So I'm not really clear on that.

466
00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:37.559
<v Speaker 9>But it was written for the folk opera Porgy and

467
00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:41.039
<v Speaker 9>Bess in nineteen thirty five, and if anybody has not

468
00:35:41.199 --> 00:35:42.280
<v Speaker 9>seen that movie.

469
00:35:42.159 --> 00:35:42.480
<v Speaker 8>It's.

470
00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:45.920
<v Speaker 17>So good it is.

471
00:35:47.119 --> 00:35:50.000
<v Speaker 9>It is one of the most covered songs in history,

472
00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:56.000
<v Speaker 9>covered by Billie Holliday, Nina Simon, Sam Cook, Mahela Jackson,

473
00:35:56.199 --> 00:36:00.360
<v Speaker 9>Miles Davis, Ricky Nelson, John Coltrane, and Julie London, Franks Nata,

474
00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:06.400
<v Speaker 9>and chanis Chaplin. Of course, according to song Facts, George

475
00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:10.159
<v Speaker 9>Gershwin was visiting a friend who said this one night.

476
00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:13.199
<v Speaker 9>I came in after dinner about eleven o'clock, and as

477
00:36:13.239 --> 00:36:15.280
<v Speaker 9>I walked up the stairs to my apartment, I heard

478
00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:18.840
<v Speaker 9>the piano. I tiptoed in. George turned and saw me

479
00:36:18.960 --> 00:36:21.719
<v Speaker 9>and said, sit down. I think I have the lullaby.

480
00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:24.280
<v Speaker 9>I knew who he had been working hard to get

481
00:36:24.320 --> 00:36:27.000
<v Speaker 9>the lullaby, and that he had done several versions that

482
00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:30.199
<v Speaker 9>didn't suit him, and so he sang in this high

483
00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:35.800
<v Speaker 9>wailing voice summertime, and it was exquisite. We looked at

484
00:36:35.840 --> 00:36:38.760
<v Speaker 9>each other and the tears were just coursing down my cheeks,

485
00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:40.679
<v Speaker 9>and I just knew that this was going to be

486
00:36:40.840 --> 00:36:46.079
<v Speaker 9>beloved by the entire world. Another thing, and you Beatles

487
00:36:46.199 --> 00:36:52.639
<v Speaker 9>fans follow along with me here, because I don't know

488
00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:55.880
<v Speaker 9>my Beatles history as much as maybe I should. But

489
00:36:57.199 --> 00:37:02.199
<v Speaker 9>also according to song facts and maybe some of you know,

490
00:37:02.679 --> 00:37:06.480
<v Speaker 9>this was the first song the Beatles played with Ringo

491
00:37:06.639 --> 00:37:12.079
<v Speaker 9>Star in nineteen sixty. They recorded at the Acoustic and

492
00:37:12.239 --> 00:37:18.880
<v Speaker 9>That's a k us Tik recording studio in Germany. The

493
00:37:18.960 --> 00:37:21.719
<v Speaker 9>place was an absolute shambles at the back of a

494
00:37:21.840 --> 00:37:27.159
<v Speaker 9>railway station. The main vocalist was Wally Iamond aka Lou

495
00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:32.400
<v Speaker 9>Wally Walters, who was guitarist for Rory Storm. I don't

496
00:37:32.440 --> 00:37:37.880
<v Speaker 9>know any of these people and the Hurricane sorry, well yeah,

497
00:37:38.119 --> 00:37:42.840
<v Speaker 9>oh okay, Beatles drummer Pete Best wasn't there, so i'mond

498
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:47.039
<v Speaker 9>bandmate Ringo Star played. This was only a day or

499
00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:51.440
<v Speaker 9>so after Sue Sutcliffe, the Beatles original bass player, was

500
00:37:51.559 --> 00:37:55.400
<v Speaker 9>brutally beaten, so he wasn't involved, although it's possible he

501
00:37:55.519 --> 00:37:59.840
<v Speaker 9>was in attendance. Johnny Guitar and Ty Bryan were all

502
00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:05.320
<v Speaker 9>so at the recording as observers, only nine copies of

503
00:38:05.400 --> 00:38:08.480
<v Speaker 9>the record were pressed. Summertime was the A side, with

504
00:38:08.639 --> 00:38:12.840
<v Speaker 9>Fever on the B side, It's Old News to Me.

505
00:38:14.360 --> 00:38:18.400
<v Speaker 9>Janis Joplin performed the song at Woodstock in nineteen sixty nine.

506
00:38:19.480 --> 00:38:22.320
<v Speaker 9>It was also the last song she sang in concert,

507
00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:24.519
<v Speaker 9>as it was the last song in her set at

508
00:38:24.559 --> 00:38:28.840
<v Speaker 9>her last show in nineteen seventy at Harvard Stadium in Boston.

509
00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:33.519
<v Speaker 9>As to her death, which I was wasn't really going

510
00:38:33.599 --> 00:38:36.199
<v Speaker 9>to talk about, but I guess everybody you know, it's

511
00:38:36.280 --> 00:38:41.239
<v Speaker 9>no surprise. As to her death in nineteen seventy, which

512
00:38:41.400 --> 00:38:45.159
<v Speaker 9>incidentally made her part of the twenty seven Club, she

513
00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:49.039
<v Speaker 9>had been staying at the Landmark Motor Hotel near Sunset

514
00:38:49.159 --> 00:38:53.599
<v Speaker 9>Sound Recorders in Hollywood, where she'd been recording her upcoming

515
00:38:53.719 --> 00:38:57.159
<v Speaker 9>album Pearl. She learned of a heron dealer who would

516
00:38:57.159 --> 00:39:01.719
<v Speaker 9>delivered the hotel rest. Obviously, as history, it was ruled

517
00:39:01.800 --> 00:39:07.679
<v Speaker 9>accidental and there is a belief, pretty documented belief that

518
00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:10.360
<v Speaker 9>the heroine she had obtained was part of a batch

519
00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:14.519
<v Speaker 9>that was particularly potent and stronger than anything that she

520
00:39:14.760 --> 00:39:19.039
<v Speaker 9>was used to. Several other customers of the dealer died

521
00:39:19.079 --> 00:39:23.880
<v Speaker 9>of overdoses during the same weekend. She was inducted to

522
00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:26.880
<v Speaker 9>the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in nineteen ninety five,

523
00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:30.239
<v Speaker 9>and was the first solo female artist to achieve that.

524
00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:33.920
<v Speaker 9>Among the artifacts at the Rock and Roll Hall of

525
00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:41.159
<v Speaker 9>Fame Museum exhibition are John Choplin's Excuse Me scarf and necklaces,

526
00:39:42.079 --> 00:39:47.239
<v Speaker 9>her psychedelically painted nineteen sixty five Porsche three point fifty

527
00:39:47.320 --> 00:39:52.960
<v Speaker 9>six cabriolet, and a sheet of LSD bladder paper designed

528
00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:58.079
<v Speaker 9>by Robert Crumb, who designed the Cheap Thrills cover that

529
00:39:58.320 --> 00:40:02.519
<v Speaker 9>I would like to see. I think there's no doubt

530
00:40:02.639 --> 00:40:05.480
<v Speaker 9>that she was one of a kind with an incredible

531
00:40:05.599 --> 00:40:09.719
<v Speaker 9>talent and a force to be reckoned with. I'm very

532
00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:12.800
<v Speaker 9>sad that, you know, she didn't have more time to

533
00:40:13.400 --> 00:40:14.840
<v Speaker 9>do what she did best.

534
00:40:16.679 --> 00:40:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, who knows where she would have gone. Yeah, I

535
00:40:20.079 --> 00:40:22.480
<v Speaker 2>could see her getting into movies and acting and kind

536
00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:26.440
<v Speaker 2>of thing, you know, I can see that. Yeah, it's

537
00:40:26.480 --> 00:40:26.880
<v Speaker 2>too bad.

538
00:40:27.679 --> 00:40:27.800
<v Speaker 11>Uh.

539
00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:32.119
<v Speaker 9>The the movie Rose was based on her life rough

540
00:40:32.519 --> 00:40:39.679
<v Speaker 9>roughly with Bette Midler, and it's I just remember the

541
00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:45.400
<v Speaker 9>high school scene when the football team took her around

542
00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:50.599
<v Speaker 9>the back of the bleachers, and it's just oh, yeah,

543
00:40:50.920 --> 00:40:52.119
<v Speaker 9>that that broke me.

544
00:40:52.639 --> 00:40:53.320
<v Speaker 2>It really did.

545
00:40:53.960 --> 00:40:57.440
<v Speaker 9>So she I think she was tough. I think she

546
00:40:57.880 --> 00:41:02.400
<v Speaker 9>she was strong. I think she had a really rough life.

547
00:41:02.920 --> 00:41:05.599
<v Speaker 9>And you know, you do what you got to do,

548
00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:07.039
<v Speaker 9>I guess to keep on going.

549
00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:12.480
<v Speaker 8>Well, you talked about the heroine, but you left out

550
00:41:12.519 --> 00:41:16.480
<v Speaker 8>the Southern comfort, which was like her, that was her trademark.

551
00:41:16.599 --> 00:41:21.079
<v Speaker 9>That was I did mention alcohol, Yeah.

552
00:41:21.280 --> 00:41:23.519
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, oh yeah, I just meant in particular.

553
00:41:24.119 --> 00:41:27.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, didn't they give her? I know, they gave her

554
00:41:27.400 --> 00:41:31.880
<v Speaker 2>like a coat. I think so the comer gave her

555
00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:34.480
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of gifts for you know, all the promotion.

556
00:41:35.119 --> 00:41:37.480
<v Speaker 8>Yeah they did, they did.

557
00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:39.400
<v Speaker 2>I just don't remember what it was that they gave her.

558
00:41:39.519 --> 00:41:44.440
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, like, thank you Janice who gave Southern Comfort.

559
00:41:44.559 --> 00:41:49.360
<v Speaker 2>Gave Janice a bunch of because she put Southern Comfort

560
00:41:49.559 --> 00:41:50.079
<v Speaker 2>out front.

561
00:41:50.639 --> 00:41:54.559
<v Speaker 8>Yeah yeah, that's where I first heard about it, you know, yeah,

562
00:41:54.800 --> 00:41:56.039
<v Speaker 8>Southern comfort that is not.

563
00:41:57.920 --> 00:42:03.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah all right, good, thank you, Mercedes, And we're going

564
00:42:03.079 --> 00:42:04.039
<v Speaker 2>to turn it over to Barbara.

565
00:42:05.840 --> 00:42:11.920
<v Speaker 11>All Right, that's a tough fact to follow, Okay. So

566
00:42:12.039 --> 00:42:16.639
<v Speaker 11>my song choice for this topic is Cruel Summer by Bananaama.

567
00:42:17.039 --> 00:42:17.480
<v Speaker 14>So good.

568
00:42:18.440 --> 00:42:21.119
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, It's just when we were given this topic, it

569
00:42:21.280 --> 00:42:24.599
<v Speaker 11>was like, yeah that one yeh. Bananarama is a girl

570
00:42:24.719 --> 00:42:29.159
<v Speaker 11>group that formed in London in nineteen eighty. Band members

571
00:42:29.599 --> 00:42:34.199
<v Speaker 11>Sarah Dollan and Karen Woodward were college students living in

572
00:42:34.320 --> 00:42:39.719
<v Speaker 11>the local YMCA, but it was about to shut down

573
00:42:39.960 --> 00:42:43.760
<v Speaker 11>for good, so they needed another cheap place to live

574
00:42:43.840 --> 00:42:47.639
<v Speaker 11>that a student could afford, and so by chance, they

575
00:42:47.760 --> 00:42:51.960
<v Speaker 11>ran into sex Pistols Paul Cook at the club Studio

576
00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:56.559
<v Speaker 11>twenty one, and he offered them a room above the

577
00:42:56.719 --> 00:43:02.159
<v Speaker 11>Sex Pistols old rehearsal space Boy and now picture this.

578
00:43:02.880 --> 00:43:07.440
<v Speaker 11>They arrived to find Johnny Rotten's drawings of Sid and

579
00:43:07.559 --> 00:43:14.599
<v Speaker 11>Nancy covering the walls. So soon after, Dollan and Woodward

580
00:43:14.719 --> 00:43:18.960
<v Speaker 11>met Chevan Faihie at school and hit it off, and

581
00:43:19.199 --> 00:43:22.360
<v Speaker 11>the three began to write songs together and when their

582
00:43:22.559 --> 00:43:25.840
<v Speaker 11>art school friends' bands were playing, they would jump on

583
00:43:25.920 --> 00:43:29.320
<v Speaker 11>stage and join them, and they recorded a demo of

584
00:43:29.480 --> 00:43:34.679
<v Speaker 11>the band Black Blood. Now they're like a Swahili band,

585
00:43:34.760 --> 00:43:39.760
<v Speaker 11>so forgive my pronunciation of the following. So the band

586
00:43:39.960 --> 00:43:44.519
<v Speaker 11>Black Blood had recorded this song called a ai eu

587
00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:50.119
<v Speaker 11>Juana and the song was sung in Swahili and so

588
00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:52.880
<v Speaker 11>Banana Rama were able to do that phonetically.

589
00:43:53.559 --> 00:43:53.840
<v Speaker 19>Wow.

590
00:43:54.840 --> 00:43:55.639
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I know.

591
00:43:57.079 --> 00:43:59.960
<v Speaker 11>They decided that they needed a name for their band

592
00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:09.199
<v Speaker 11>and they wanted it to involve bananas because it sounded tropical,

593
00:44:10.480 --> 00:44:15.800
<v Speaker 11>and Dallan, being a big fan of Roxy music, perused

594
00:44:15.960 --> 00:44:21.599
<v Speaker 11>their song titles and found a song called Pajamarama Love it.

595
00:44:22.400 --> 00:44:25.679
<v Speaker 11>They proceeded to spend the next five years writing and

596
00:44:25.800 --> 00:44:30.719
<v Speaker 11>demoing songs, and they achieved an international success with their

597
00:44:30.840 --> 00:44:34.719
<v Speaker 11>song Cruel Summer, and it made number eight on the

598
00:44:34.880 --> 00:44:38.039
<v Speaker 11>UK Singles Chart and number nine on the US Billboard

599
00:44:38.119 --> 00:44:39.239
<v Speaker 11>Hot one hundred.

600
00:44:40.239 --> 00:44:42.559
<v Speaker 3>So I've got some more info for you.

601
00:44:42.800 --> 00:44:44.400
<v Speaker 8>But first, why don't we cool off for.

602
00:44:44.400 --> 00:44:46.480
<v Speaker 20>A bit and listen to Cool Summer.

603
00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:02.079
<v Speaker 7>Misty man.

604
00:45:05.320 --> 00:45:07.679
<v Speaker 20>Trying to smile, but the air.

605
00:45:07.920 --> 00:45:20.440
<v Speaker 22>Is so petty, drying, strange choices society. The second side

606
00:45:21.320 --> 00:45:26.840
<v Speaker 22>understand it's too us to come with the sea's bride.

607
00:45:27.360 --> 00:45:31.679
<v Speaker 2>And it's.

608
00:45:34.000 --> 00:45:34.400
<v Speaker 14>Sucking.

609
00:45:40.199 --> 00:45:58.639
<v Speaker 7>It's it's a sun that you know, the.

610
00:45:58.800 --> 00:46:02.840
<v Speaker 18>City sma, my friends away.

611
00:46:02.440 --> 00:46:08.960
<v Speaker 5>And oh man, it's too heads.

612
00:46:09.360 --> 00:46:16.159
<v Speaker 21>So it's a.

613
00:46:24.760 --> 00:46:42.760
<v Speaker 7>It's a it's a great son, it's some son, It's

614
00:46:43.719 --> 00:46:45.840
<v Speaker 7>it's a song.

615
00:46:47.039 --> 00:47:31.760
<v Speaker 18>That young, crullesome. It's true crude son that.

616
00:47:31.960 --> 00:47:48.000
<v Speaker 7>You don excres son.

617
00:47:56.639 --> 00:48:02.719
<v Speaker 11>So the Cool Summer was released as a single in

618
00:48:02.880 --> 00:48:07.679
<v Speaker 11>nineteen eighty three and included on Bananarama's self titled second

619
00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:10.639
<v Speaker 11>album a year later. It was featured in the film

620
00:48:10.760 --> 00:48:14.400
<v Speaker 11>Karate Kid in nineteen eighty eight. The inspiration for the

621
00:48:14.519 --> 00:48:19.360
<v Speaker 11>song was the oppressive heat of that summer, partnered with

622
00:48:19.480 --> 00:48:22.559
<v Speaker 11>the feeling of not being able to be with someone.

623
00:48:22.719 --> 00:48:26.000
<v Speaker 11>As the summer went by, the band members could not

624
00:48:26.159 --> 00:48:28.559
<v Speaker 11>go on their annual vacation due to all the promotion

625
00:48:28.719 --> 00:48:31.000
<v Speaker 11>required to keep up their success, so it was like

626
00:48:31.079 --> 00:48:34.519
<v Speaker 11>all work and no play that summer. The video for

627
00:48:34.639 --> 00:48:37.639
<v Speaker 11>the song was shot in the Dumbo section of New

628
00:48:37.719 --> 00:48:41.039
<v Speaker 11>York City, where the heat exceeded one hundred degrees daily

629
00:48:41.199 --> 00:48:46.480
<v Speaker 11>during filming. Besides being covered by various other artists, Bananarama

630
00:48:46.639 --> 00:48:49.920
<v Speaker 11>recorded four other versions of Cruel Summer, the first being

631
00:48:50.199 --> 00:48:53.760
<v Speaker 11>Cruel Summer eighty nine, followed by a Latin theme version

632
00:48:53.920 --> 00:48:57.320
<v Speaker 11>in two thousand and one, an updated version in two

633
00:48:57.360 --> 00:49:00.679
<v Speaker 11>thousand and nine followed by a fortieth and very version

634
00:49:00.760 --> 00:49:05.000
<v Speaker 11>called Cool Summer three AM. In twenty twenty three, band

635
00:49:05.079 --> 00:49:09.679
<v Speaker 11>member Chavon Fayhee was replaced by Jackie O'Sullivan. In nineteen

636
00:49:09.760 --> 00:49:14.320
<v Speaker 11>eighty eight, Bananarama had two band aid appearances and an

637
00:49:14.519 --> 00:49:17.519
<v Speaker 11>entry into the Guinness Book of World Records as the

638
00:49:17.760 --> 00:49:23.079
<v Speaker 11>most successful female band worldwide with the most charting singles.

639
00:49:23.320 --> 00:49:23.559
<v Speaker 8>Wow.

640
00:49:24.159 --> 00:49:26.639
<v Speaker 11>To date, they have had thirty top hits and have

641
00:49:26.800 --> 00:49:31.880
<v Speaker 11>released twelve albums and thirty million records and change previous

642
00:49:31.960 --> 00:49:33.840
<v Speaker 11>ideas of what a girl band should be.

643
00:49:35.679 --> 00:49:35.960
<v Speaker 6>That's it.

644
00:49:36.119 --> 00:49:37.239
<v Speaker 11>Anybody have anything they wanted?

645
00:49:37.320 --> 00:49:39.360
<v Speaker 2>Had no idea that they had looked out?

646
00:49:39.840 --> 00:49:42.119
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, wow, that was like off.

647
00:49:42.440 --> 00:49:45.039
<v Speaker 11>That was right off of the Bananaama website.

648
00:49:45.079 --> 00:49:46.559
<v Speaker 20>So all, I hope it's right.

649
00:49:48.159 --> 00:49:49.880
<v Speaker 10>I learned a lot about an iconic song.

650
00:49:50.920 --> 00:49:52.679
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I had no idea. I didn't know they

651
00:49:52.719 --> 00:49:54.239
<v Speaker 2>were that prolific, honestly.

652
00:49:55.719 --> 00:49:58.360
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, very cool, very cool. Like said, I learned a

653
00:49:58.400 --> 00:50:01.320
<v Speaker 10>lot about a iconic song. It's one of the joys

654
00:50:01.360 --> 00:50:04.159
<v Speaker 10>of this show is a lot of times like this

655
00:50:04.280 --> 00:50:06.199
<v Speaker 10>one was an example. We feature a lot of really

656
00:50:06.280 --> 00:50:08.559
<v Speaker 10>cool music that everybody knows, but you don't really know

657
00:50:08.639 --> 00:50:09.239
<v Speaker 10>the backstory.

658
00:50:09.440 --> 00:50:14.480
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, yeah, it's it's pretty funny because when I was

659
00:50:14.559 --> 00:50:18.480
<v Speaker 11>in college, a bunch of people they would I don't

660
00:50:18.519 --> 00:50:21.639
<v Speaker 11>know if my school was the only place that it

661
00:50:21.800 --> 00:50:25.960
<v Speaker 11>was popular, but for some reason, air bands were popular

662
00:50:26.000 --> 00:50:31.159
<v Speaker 11>where they would play air instruments. And this air band

663
00:50:31.320 --> 00:50:35.639
<v Speaker 11>that I followed was called it was called band that

664
00:50:35.800 --> 00:50:39.000
<v Speaker 11>you follow. It was somewhere my friend, my friends from

665
00:50:39.039 --> 00:50:41.719
<v Speaker 11>my dorm and my school were in it, so we

666
00:50:41.880 --> 00:50:45.519
<v Speaker 11>followed them. And the band's name was nup Rio, which

667
00:50:45.599 --> 00:50:51.880
<v Speaker 11>is air punk spell backwards. And they actually had some

668
00:50:52.119 --> 00:50:57.000
<v Speaker 11>girls that really didn't play with them so much or

669
00:50:57.239 --> 00:50:59.599
<v Speaker 11>whatever up here with but they would do like girl

670
00:50:59.679 --> 00:51:01.880
<v Speaker 11>bands stuff like you know, Banana Rata and you know

671
00:51:02.039 --> 00:51:04.920
<v Speaker 11>other girl bands of the time, and they would come

672
00:51:04.960 --> 00:51:07.199
<v Speaker 11>up with little dance routines and stuff like that, and

673
00:51:08.199 --> 00:51:10.079

<v Speaker 2>And welcome back. We're in our final stretch of hot

694
00:52:21.639 --> 00:52:25.719
<v Speaker 2>sticky weather related songs and John your turn.

695
00:52:26.320 --> 00:52:31.519
<v Speaker 10>Okay, everybody speaking of summertime. I picked the Summertime Blues.

696
00:52:32.159 --> 00:52:36.159
<v Speaker 10>It was originally recorded by Eddie Cochran in nineteen fifty eight.

697
00:52:36.679 --> 00:52:40.079
<v Speaker 10>It's a timeless rock and roll anthem with a theme

698
00:52:40.159 --> 00:52:45.320
<v Speaker 10>revolving around teenage frustration with adult authority, who hasn't had

699
00:52:45.400 --> 00:52:49.360
<v Speaker 10>that before, the burden of summer employment, and the classic

700
00:52:49.519 --> 00:52:56.840
<v Speaker 10>generational gap experience during adolescence. All classic themes we've all experienced.

701
00:52:56.239 --> 00:52:59.280
<v Speaker 8>And anybody else in the DNA of rock and roll.

702
00:52:59.519 --> 00:53:02.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and if you have out there.

703
00:53:02.559 --> 00:53:05.719
<v Speaker 10>If you're listening and you have teenagers, you know exactly

704
00:53:05.800 --> 00:53:06.880
<v Speaker 10>what I'm talking about.

705
00:53:07.960 --> 00:53:10.960
<v Speaker 9>You have young children, just know that it's coming, It's.

706
00:53:13.199 --> 00:53:15.159
<v Speaker 1>On its way, It's on its way.

707
00:53:17.039 --> 00:53:19.960
<v Speaker 10>The lyrics famously highlight the relatable tension of wanting to

708
00:53:20.119 --> 00:53:24.559
<v Speaker 10>enjoy youth but being constrained by adult responsibilities. The narrator

709
00:53:24.599 --> 00:53:26.559
<v Speaker 10>finds himself stuck in a loop, and he works for

710
00:53:26.599 --> 00:53:28.960
<v Speaker 10>a demanding job to earn money, only to be denied

711
00:53:29.039 --> 00:53:32.000
<v Speaker 10>time off by his boss and restricted by his parents

712
00:53:32.079 --> 00:53:34.840
<v Speaker 10>from using the family car on dates. Does any of

713
00:53:34.880 --> 00:53:40.840
<v Speaker 10>this sound familiar? It creates a vivid picture of a

714
00:53:40.920 --> 00:53:44.559
<v Speaker 10>teenager caught in a system, culminating culminating in the iconic

715
00:53:44.679 --> 00:53:48.400
<v Speaker 10>realization he's too young to vote, but too old to work.

716
00:53:49.320 --> 00:53:53.480
<v Speaker 10>So that is the summertime Blues Now was originally recorded

717
00:53:53.719 --> 00:53:57.559
<v Speaker 10>by Eddie Cochran in nineteen fifty Night fifty nine, nineteen

718
00:53:57.880 --> 00:54:00.559
<v Speaker 10>fifty eight. But tonight are we are going to be

719
00:54:00.679 --> 00:54:04.159
<v Speaker 10>talking about the Brian Setzer version. There's been a lot

720
00:54:04.199 --> 00:54:08.280
<v Speaker 10>of ver yeah, now the Brian Now. This song has

721
00:54:08.360 --> 00:54:10.119
<v Speaker 10>been featured by a lot of artists. And one of

722
00:54:10.159 --> 00:54:11.760
<v Speaker 10>the things I found in my research I didn't and

723
00:54:11.800 --> 00:54:15.639
<v Speaker 10>I guess I gotta listen to it again is Alan Jackson.

724
00:54:16.119 --> 00:54:18.559
<v Speaker 10>Country Music Fame did a version of the song which

725
00:54:18.639 --> 00:54:21.440
<v Speaker 10>kind of blew me away. But who has done a song?

726
00:54:21.800 --> 00:54:24.119
<v Speaker 6>I love that version, Yes, deconitely.

727
00:54:24.840 --> 00:54:27.519
<v Speaker 10>Now we're gonna do Brian Setzer. The original was fifty eight.

728
00:54:28.000 --> 00:54:31.920
<v Speaker 10>This one was in nineteen eighty seven. It was recorded

729
00:54:31.960 --> 00:54:34.440
<v Speaker 10>in nineteen eighty seven, and I'm gonna leave it at

730
00:54:34.480 --> 00:54:36.119
<v Speaker 10>that because we're going to talk a little bit about

731
00:54:36.239 --> 00:54:40.079
<v Speaker 10>that when we come back to the flip side. So Brian,

<v Speaker 6>a dona cud. But there ain't anna cure for summertime.

755
00:56:53.559 --> 00:57:11.519
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I said, there, okay, Summertime Blue.

756
00:57:12.800 --> 00:57:16.599
<v Speaker 10>Brian sets her originally recorded by Eddie Cockran. Now what

757
00:57:16.679 --> 00:57:18.559
<v Speaker 10>do I want to say about nineteen eighty seven? But

758
00:57:18.679 --> 00:57:22.559
<v Speaker 10>what came out in nineteen eighty seven LaBamba? All right,

759
00:57:22.679 --> 00:57:25.519
<v Speaker 10>and that is where Brian Setzer did a cameo where

760
00:57:25.559 --> 00:57:29.679
<v Speaker 10>he played the late great Eddie Cochran in the film itself.

761
00:57:30.400 --> 00:57:32.800
<v Speaker 10>Now a little sad note here on Eddie Cochran. He

762
00:57:32.960 --> 00:57:35.039
<v Speaker 10>actually only lived twenty one years.

763
00:57:34.880 --> 00:57:36.119
<v Speaker 14>Of age out.

764
00:57:36.599 --> 00:57:39.960
<v Speaker 10>Yes, he died in a car accident in England. I

765
00:57:40.039 --> 00:57:42.159
<v Speaker 10>believe he was on his way home from a set or.

766
00:57:42.159 --> 00:57:42.679
<v Speaker 4>Something like that.

767
00:57:43.559 --> 00:57:47.840
<v Speaker 8>But gene Vincent was in the car with him. Oh okay,

768
00:57:48.400 --> 00:57:49.840
<v Speaker 8>he survived.

769
00:57:49.920 --> 00:57:53.719
<v Speaker 10>But yeah, yeah, it's one of those sad things. But

770
00:57:53.880 --> 00:57:57.719
<v Speaker 10>his music lives on, recorded by so many artists but

771
00:57:58.360 --> 00:58:01.920
<v Speaker 10>La Bamba and Brian Setzer. So I hope you all

772
00:58:02.079 --> 00:58:08.639
<v Speaker 10>enjoyed that little taste of summertime, the classic teenage angst frustration, rebellion,

773
00:58:09.119 --> 00:58:10.360
<v Speaker 10>but loving the summertime.

774
00:58:11.440 --> 00:58:13.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a good one. That is a good one.

775
00:58:13.840 --> 00:58:14.119
<v Speaker 8>All right.

776
00:58:14.159 --> 00:58:17.199
<v Speaker 2>It's funny you mentioned Alan Jackson doing a cover because

777
00:58:17.239 --> 00:58:18.440
<v Speaker 2>guess who I'm talking about?

778
00:58:18.920 --> 00:58:20.480
<v Speaker 4>Gee, who could that be? Brian?

779
00:58:20.599 --> 00:58:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Total coincidence. Did not know you were going to say that.

780
00:58:23.599 --> 00:58:26.280
<v Speaker 2>But it is part of my ongoing quest to see

781
00:58:26.280 --> 00:58:28.039
<v Speaker 2>if I can push Neil over the edge.

782
00:58:28.559 --> 00:58:29.079
<v Speaker 19>With a song.

783
00:58:33.039 --> 00:58:35.159
<v Speaker 8>Challenge challenge, accept it.

784
00:58:36.599 --> 00:58:38.519
<v Speaker 2>I try to throw a curveball and he knocks him

785
00:58:38.519 --> 00:58:40.119
<v Speaker 2>out of the park, Like I picked something from the

786
00:58:40.199 --> 00:58:42.280
<v Speaker 2>eighties that I know he's not a huge fan of,

787
00:58:42.320 --> 00:58:44.199
<v Speaker 2>and he's like, no, I love this song, this is great,

788
00:58:44.199 --> 00:58:44.599
<v Speaker 2>and I'm.

789
00:58:44.480 --> 00:58:48.320
<v Speaker 8>Like during Banana Rama, I was like, you know, I

790
00:58:48.480 --> 00:58:51.960
<v Speaker 8>know my reputation of loathing the eighties, but I had

791
00:58:52.000 --> 00:58:53.519
<v Speaker 8>that record. I like Banana Rama.

792
00:58:53.639 --> 00:58:57.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so there you go. Exactly.

793
00:58:57.199 --> 00:59:00.280
<v Speaker 9>That's the probably never ceased to surprise.

794
00:59:00.199 --> 00:59:02.760
<v Speaker 2>Exactly exactly. I have a feeling this may push some

795
00:59:02.920 --> 00:59:04.920
<v Speaker 2>of the other crambones over the edge as well.

796
00:59:05.119 --> 00:59:07.880
<v Speaker 3>But yes, because you all know how much I adore

797
00:59:08.079 --> 00:59:08.840
<v Speaker 3>country music.

798
00:59:09.039 --> 00:59:12.119
<v Speaker 2>Uh huh, Well, I actually really enjoy country music, so

799
00:59:12.239 --> 00:59:14.239
<v Speaker 2>I like a lot of it. I do a lot

800
00:59:14.280 --> 00:59:17.360
<v Speaker 2>of it. I really do not So it's not either way.

801
00:59:17.960 --> 00:59:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Some of the twiny stuff, some of the old twangy stuff,

802
00:59:20.880 --> 00:59:23.400
<v Speaker 2>but a lot of the new stuff is so overproduced.

803
00:59:23.480 --> 00:59:26.039
<v Speaker 2>Like everything else, it's all the same, full of bush.

804
00:59:26.559 --> 00:59:26.760
<v Speaker 14>Yeah.

805
00:59:27.440 --> 00:59:30.679
<v Speaker 8>I don't know. I don't know really anything about this guy.

806
00:59:30.800 --> 00:59:33.519
<v Speaker 8>So this will be, you know, like a blind test,

807
00:59:33.599 --> 00:59:33.760
<v Speaker 8>you know.

808
00:59:33.880 --> 00:59:35.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Well, let's see.

809
00:59:35.159 --> 00:59:35.480
<v Speaker 8>How it go.

810
00:59:36.079 --> 00:59:40.119
<v Speaker 3>Like he used to sing something about how he loved

811
00:59:40.280 --> 00:59:41.400
<v Speaker 3>his truck.

812
00:59:45.440 --> 00:59:45.760
<v Speaker 6>Running.

813
00:59:46.679 --> 00:59:48.559
<v Speaker 3>It's like a running theme. They all did that.

814
00:59:49.159 --> 00:59:52.760
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, that's Alan Jackson is a he's a a well

815
00:59:52.960 --> 00:59:53.920
<v Speaker 10>liked country artist.

816
00:59:54.000 --> 00:59:57.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, he's been around a long time too. Time

817
00:59:57.480 --> 00:59:59.599
<v Speaker 2>time flies, because like for me, it was new and

818
00:59:59.639 --> 01:00:02.119
<v Speaker 2>then I that was the nineties and that was not

819
01:00:03.079 --> 01:00:04.239
<v Speaker 2>five years ago anymore.

820
01:00:04.599 --> 01:00:08.199
<v Speaker 8>So I've heard the name, but I don't I know

821
01:00:09.320 --> 01:00:10.920
<v Speaker 8>other than that nothing, all right.

822
01:00:10.960 --> 01:00:11.719
<v Speaker 6>So let's hop in.

823
01:00:11.920 --> 01:00:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Let's see how it goes, and you tell me what

824
01:00:13.519 --> 01:00:16.480
<v Speaker 2>you think when we're done. Sound good, Yeah, let's do it,

825
01:00:16.559 --> 01:00:19.199
<v Speaker 2>all right. So Alan Jackson is actually one of the

826
01:00:19.320 --> 01:00:22.280
<v Speaker 2>best selling artists of all time, not just country, I

827
01:00:22.400 --> 01:00:26.039
<v Speaker 2>mean artists across the board of all time. He has

828
01:00:26.119 --> 01:00:30.480
<v Speaker 2>sold over seventy five million records worldwide. He had sixty

829
01:00:30.559 --> 01:00:33.440
<v Speaker 2>six songs make it onto the Billboard Hot Country songs

830
01:00:33.519 --> 01:00:37.000
<v Speaker 2>chart thirty five of those hit number one, thirty five

831
01:00:37.320 --> 01:00:40.280
<v Speaker 2>number one songs. He's a member of the Grand Ole Opry,

832
01:00:40.400 --> 01:00:43.519
<v Speaker 2>which is an invitation only they surprise you kind of thing,

833
01:00:44.280 --> 01:00:48.239
<v Speaker 2>which is huge. He's in the Country Music Hall of Fame,

834
01:00:48.639 --> 01:00:51.039
<v Speaker 2>which is big. It's in the Georgia Music Hall of Fame,

835
01:00:51.159 --> 01:00:53.599
<v Speaker 2>and lots more. We could talk awards all night, but

836
01:00:53.679 --> 01:00:56.920
<v Speaker 2>you get the idea. So Jackson was born in nineteen

837
01:00:57.000 --> 01:00:59.599
<v Speaker 2>fifty eight in Georgia. He grew up listening to gospel

838
01:01:00.079 --> 01:01:03.039
<v Speaker 2>and then got hooked on classic country like Hank Williams Junior,

839
01:01:03.159 --> 01:01:06.679
<v Speaker 2>the twangy stuff. He played and sang while attending Noon

840
01:01:06.800 --> 01:01:10.199
<v Speaker 2>In High school in Noon and Georgia, and after graduation

841
01:01:10.400 --> 01:01:13.880
<v Speaker 2>he worked as a forklift operator and construction worker while

842
01:01:13.920 --> 01:01:17.960
<v Speaker 2>still playing clubs around the Georgia area. He got married

843
01:01:18.000 --> 01:01:21.039
<v Speaker 2>to his wife, Denise at twenty one. They are still

844
01:01:21.159 --> 01:01:24.719
<v Speaker 2>married and six years after they got married, they moved

845
01:01:24.719 --> 01:01:27.039
<v Speaker 2>to Nashville so he could try to start a full

846
01:01:27.079 --> 01:01:30.480
<v Speaker 2>time music career. He got a job at the Nashville

847
01:01:30.599 --> 01:01:33.639
<v Speaker 2>Network if you remember that channel back when that existed

848
01:01:33.719 --> 01:01:37.760
<v Speaker 2>on basic cable TNN. So yeah, it was like in

849
01:01:37.840 --> 01:01:41.199
<v Speaker 2>New York. You would just skip it because it was TNN,

850
01:01:41.400 --> 01:01:44.000
<v Speaker 2>but they had some pretty good stuff on it. He

851
01:01:44.079 --> 01:01:47.199
<v Speaker 2>got a job in the mail room, which how stereotypical

852
01:01:47.239 --> 01:01:49.719
<v Speaker 2>can you be? So he started in the mailroom and

853
01:01:50.440 --> 01:01:52.239
<v Speaker 2>because of that, he was able to go sit in

854
01:01:52.320 --> 01:01:54.639
<v Speaker 2>the audience during the taping of a show called You

855
01:01:54.760 --> 01:01:58.679
<v Speaker 2>Can Be a Star, which was an American Idol style

856
01:01:58.800 --> 01:02:01.639
<v Speaker 2>show with celebrity judges and all that. American Idol is

857
01:02:01.719 --> 01:02:04.519
<v Speaker 2>not a new idea, even though some people may think

858
01:02:04.559 --> 01:02:06.880
<v Speaker 2>it is. It's been around a long time. So he

859
01:02:06.960 --> 01:02:09.239
<v Speaker 2>got to sit in the audience, watch tapings, watch some

860
01:02:09.920 --> 01:02:12.639
<v Speaker 2>up and comers, and then one night he got the

861
01:02:12.719 --> 01:02:15.639
<v Speaker 2>opportunity to sing on an episode, and he did the

862
01:02:15.719 --> 01:02:19.199
<v Speaker 2>song he Stopped Loving Her Today by George Jones, a

863
01:02:19.360 --> 01:02:22.480
<v Speaker 2>very well known song. He would become good friends with

864
01:02:22.559 --> 01:02:27.159
<v Speaker 2>George Jones and sang the same song at George Jones's funeral.

865
01:02:27.599 --> 01:02:30.199
<v Speaker 2>We talked about no show Jones a long time ago,

866
01:02:30.280 --> 01:02:32.920
<v Speaker 2>if you remember it. Took his lawnmower to the liquor

867
01:02:32.960 --> 01:02:35.639
<v Speaker 2>store because his wife wouldn't drive him there, so he

868
01:02:35.760 --> 01:02:39.039
<v Speaker 2>wrote his tractor both directions. Yeah, so always a good story.

869
01:02:40.280 --> 01:02:42.639
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, the two of them became really good friends.

870
01:02:43.480 --> 01:02:45.519
<v Speaker 2>But the appearance on this show gave him a good

871
01:02:45.599 --> 01:02:48.880
<v Speaker 2>jump start, as did a chance encounter that his wife

872
01:02:48.960 --> 01:02:53.159
<v Speaker 2>had while working as a flight attendant. Glenn Campbell was

873
01:02:53.239 --> 01:02:56.159
<v Speaker 2>on one of her flights and talk about a captive

874
01:02:56.199 --> 01:02:58.760
<v Speaker 2>audience when you're stuck in a big metal tube thirty

875
01:02:58.800 --> 01:03:01.039
<v Speaker 2>six thousand feet in the air and I want to

876
01:03:01.079 --> 01:03:03.840
<v Speaker 2>pick your brain. Where are you gonna go? So she

877
01:03:03.920 --> 01:03:07.719
<v Speaker 2>had a little chat with Glenn Campbell, and Campbell actually

878
01:03:07.880 --> 01:03:12.639
<v Speaker 2>gave gave her his manager's information and said give him

879
01:03:12.679 --> 01:03:16.079
<v Speaker 2>a call, and they did, and in nineteen eighty nine,

880
01:03:16.159 --> 01:03:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Alan Jackson got signed as the first artist on the

881
01:03:19.079 --> 01:03:24.320
<v Speaker 2>new Arista Nashville label subsidy or of Arista. So sometimes

882
01:03:24.559 --> 01:03:27.239
<v Speaker 2>it's all about timing and not being shy, walk up

883
01:03:27.320 --> 01:03:30.320
<v Speaker 2>and say what you gotta say. I guess the list

884
01:03:30.400 --> 01:03:32.760
<v Speaker 2>of albums that Alan Jackson put out just goes on

885
01:03:32.880 --> 01:03:34.760
<v Speaker 2>and on. Like I said, we could spend all night

886
01:03:34.800 --> 01:03:38.079
<v Speaker 2>talking about that. But there was one event that people

887
01:03:38.159 --> 01:03:41.239
<v Speaker 2>still talk about. It was the nineteen ninety nine Country

888
01:03:41.360 --> 01:03:46.159
<v Speaker 2>Music Association Awards. They asked George Jones to perform, but

889
01:03:46.280 --> 01:03:48.239
<v Speaker 2>then they asked him to cut his song down to

890
01:03:48.559 --> 01:03:52.880
<v Speaker 2>ninety seconds. A ninety second performance for a country legend

891
01:03:53.280 --> 01:03:56.079
<v Speaker 2>that did not go over well. So George Jones, as

892
01:03:57.039 --> 01:03:59.880
<v Speaker 2>in many other shows, did not show up this time.

893
01:04:00.079 --> 01:04:02.199
<v Speaker 2>It was on purpose, not because he was blasted out

894
01:04:02.239 --> 01:04:05.159
<v Speaker 2>of his mind, but yeah, he was not going to

895
01:04:05.400 --> 01:04:08.920
<v Speaker 2>take that insult, so he didn't show up. Alan Jackson

896
01:04:09.000 --> 01:04:12.920
<v Speaker 2>was booked to fill that slot, and when Jackson's band

897
01:04:13.519 --> 01:04:15.880
<v Speaker 2>got up, they started to do one of their own songs,

898
01:04:16.360 --> 01:04:20.440
<v Speaker 2>abruptly stopped and then started singing George Jones's song Choices,

899
01:04:21.039 --> 01:04:23.840
<v Speaker 2>So they wound up doing a George Jones song over

900
01:04:23.920 --> 01:04:25.960
<v Speaker 2>that ninety second thing, just as a little bit of

901
01:04:26.119 --> 01:04:30.079
<v Speaker 2>you know up yours to the Country Music Association, and

902
01:04:30.440 --> 01:04:32.480
<v Speaker 2>people still talk about the little bad boy kind of

903
01:04:32.519 --> 01:04:37.199
<v Speaker 2>thing doing that on a live broadcast. After nine to eleven,

904
01:04:37.320 --> 01:04:39.559
<v Speaker 2>he released the song where Were You When the World

905
01:04:39.599 --> 01:04:43.199
<v Speaker 2>Stopped Turning? Which was appropriate at the time, and then

906
01:04:43.360 --> 01:04:44.719
<v Speaker 2>at least for me, and I think a lot of

907
01:04:44.760 --> 01:04:48.920
<v Speaker 2>other people had kind of turned schlocky quite quickly because

908
01:04:49.079 --> 01:04:51.800
<v Speaker 2>it just got overplayed and overplayed and overplayed, and it

909
01:04:51.920 --> 01:04:55.800
<v Speaker 2>was you know so, but that put him over the top,

910
01:04:55.960 --> 01:04:58.159
<v Speaker 2>to the point where South Park did a really really

911
01:04:58.199 --> 01:05:02.519
<v Speaker 2>good spoof on where We So I suggest head over

912
01:05:02.559 --> 01:05:04.559
<v Speaker 2>to YouTube and look that up. So it was really good,

913
01:05:05.119 --> 01:05:08.719
<v Speaker 2>but it really helped him become a mainstream performer. In

914
01:05:08.920 --> 01:05:11.960
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty one, Alan Jackson went public with his diagnosis

915
01:05:12.079 --> 01:05:18.320
<v Speaker 2>of Charcot Marie tooth disease CMT. It's an inherited neurological

916
01:05:18.400 --> 01:05:21.679
<v Speaker 2>disorder affecting the pathways between the brain and spinal cord

917
01:05:21.800 --> 01:05:24.519
<v Speaker 2>and the rest of the body. It can cause weakness,

918
01:05:24.760 --> 01:05:29.800
<v Speaker 2>muscle atrophy. Sometimes basic functions like sweating and your balance

919
01:05:29.880 --> 01:05:34.239
<v Speaker 2>can become uncontrolled, and it could even cause foot deformities

920
01:05:34.320 --> 01:05:36.480
<v Speaker 2>from the muscle and balance of your body trying to

921
01:05:36.599 --> 01:05:39.440
<v Speaker 2>balance itself and not being able to control the muscles

922
01:05:39.480 --> 01:05:43.079
<v Speaker 2>so much it can cause the victim to hunch over.

923
01:05:43.280 --> 01:05:46.960
<v Speaker 2>It can cause hip problems, gi problems. It's not a

924
01:05:47.039 --> 01:05:49.199
<v Speaker 2>life threatening kind of thing, but obviously it could just

925
01:05:49.760 --> 01:05:53.039
<v Speaker 2>make you completely miserable, depending on how severe your case is,

926
01:05:53.480 --> 01:05:56.119
<v Speaker 2>and it started to hit him pretty hard, especially as

927
01:05:56.159 --> 01:05:58.320
<v Speaker 2>a singer where you kind of need your muscles to

928
01:05:58.559 --> 01:06:03.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, sing, stand and perform on March. In March

929
01:06:03.800 --> 01:06:06.840
<v Speaker 2>of twenty twenty two, he launched a farewell tour because

930
01:06:06.880 --> 01:06:10.199
<v Speaker 2>of this diagnosis, and he just held his final concert

931
01:06:10.280 --> 01:06:13.320
<v Speaker 2>on June twenty seventh, twenty twenty six, at the over

932
01:06:13.440 --> 01:06:16.119
<v Speaker 2>sold Nissan Stadium in Nashville. I believe it was over

933
01:06:16.239 --> 01:06:19.880
<v Speaker 2>eighty thousand cramped into the stadium there, and they live

934
01:06:19.920 --> 01:06:21.800
<v Speaker 2>streamed it and it was broadcast live and all that

935
01:06:21.880 --> 01:06:24.559
<v Speaker 2>kind of stuff. But today we are going to check

936
01:06:24.599 --> 01:06:28.280
<v Speaker 2>out his nineteen ninety three hit Chattahoochie, which he co

937
01:06:28.440 --> 01:06:31.800
<v Speaker 2>wrote with Jim McBride. Their goal, they set out to

938
01:06:31.880 --> 01:06:35.440
<v Speaker 2>write an uptempo song. They started with the line way

939
01:06:35.519 --> 01:06:39.760
<v Speaker 2>down Yonder on the Chattahoochie, Yonder is coming back. I

940
01:06:39.800 --> 01:06:42.280
<v Speaker 2>don't know if it ever went away. Yonder's coming back.

941
01:06:42.360 --> 01:06:44.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to use that as often as I can,

942
01:06:44.199 --> 01:06:46.960
<v Speaker 2>all right. So the song's about growing up in a

943
01:06:47.000 --> 01:06:50.519
<v Speaker 2>small town, having fun, making memories with your friends. The

944
01:06:50.719 --> 01:06:54.400
<v Speaker 2>Chattahoochee River flows from northern Georgia and shares a border

945
01:06:54.440 --> 01:06:57.440
<v Speaker 2>with Alabama and Florida, so that's a real river. It

946
01:06:57.599 --> 01:06:59.400
<v Speaker 2>was a country hit, and it also made it to

947
01:06:59.519 --> 01:07:02.239
<v Speaker 2>number four on the Billboard Hot one hundred in May

948
01:07:02.280 --> 01:07:06.320
<v Speaker 2>of nineteen ninety three. There's your crossover as well. The

949
01:07:06.480 --> 01:07:09.639
<v Speaker 2>video for it is completely ridiculous because it features Alan

950
01:07:09.760 --> 01:07:13.559
<v Speaker 2>Jackson water skiing while wearing jeans and a cowboy hat,

951
01:07:14.079 --> 01:07:16.360
<v Speaker 2>which is not what you would typically wear when you

952
01:07:16.440 --> 01:07:21.159
<v Speaker 2>go water skiing, No, at least not me anyway, I

953
01:07:21.199 --> 01:07:21.480
<v Speaker 2>don't know.

954
01:07:24.559 --> 01:07:26.599
<v Speaker 8>I've never gone water skiing, so you'll never.

955
01:07:27.119 --> 01:07:29.719
<v Speaker 2>I've tried, and I was terrible at it. I would

956
01:07:29.719 --> 01:07:32.280
<v Speaker 2>absolutely try it again. I is so much harder than

957
01:07:32.320 --> 01:07:34.719
<v Speaker 2>it looks, and I cannot imagine trying to do it

958
01:07:34.800 --> 01:07:37.119
<v Speaker 2>in jeans and keeping your cowboy hat on on top

959
01:07:37.199 --> 01:07:40.239
<v Speaker 2>of that. So yeah, but he did it, and he

960
01:07:40.320 --> 01:07:42.920
<v Speaker 2>actually did it for the video that's him water skiing,

961
01:07:43.159 --> 01:07:44.960
<v Speaker 2>so feel free to go check that out in your

962
01:07:44.960 --> 01:07:49.039
<v Speaker 2>spare time. I chose the song because of the second

963
01:07:49.079 --> 01:07:52.000
<v Speaker 2>part of that opening line, well way down yonder on

964
01:07:52.039 --> 01:07:57.320
<v Speaker 2>the chattahoochie, it gets hotter than a uci coucih Now,

965
01:07:57.440 --> 01:08:02.360
<v Speaker 2>huci couci originally was a pockative belly dance. The term

966
01:08:02.440 --> 01:08:05.800
<v Speaker 2>came around in the mid to later eighteen hundreds. What

967
01:08:05.960 --> 01:08:08.920
<v Speaker 2>the phrase has taken on new meetings, especially in the South.

968
01:08:09.119 --> 01:08:11.519
<v Speaker 2>And I will leave it to you to interpret what

969
01:08:11.599 --> 01:08:13.800
<v Speaker 2>a huci couci is to you.

970
01:08:14.719 --> 01:08:20.000
<v Speaker 9>So let's may I interjection I encourage you to do so.

971
01:08:21.520 --> 01:08:24.640
<v Speaker 9>So I work at a city reliquary. It's a museum

972
01:08:24.720 --> 01:08:28.520
<v Speaker 9>in Brooklyn, and we have an exhibit about little Egypt

973
01:08:28.680 --> 01:08:34.319
<v Speaker 9>who was a who who started the Houcci Cucci dance. Okay,

974
01:08:35.760 --> 01:08:40.319
<v Speaker 9>and she was She was wildly famous and danced for

975
01:08:40.520 --> 01:08:46.920
<v Speaker 9>all the dignitaries and political people and you know, everybody,

976
01:08:47.199 --> 01:08:51.159
<v Speaker 9>and like off and around like the Coney Island area.

977
01:08:51.479 --> 01:08:54.920
<v Speaker 9>And she was so popular that they had to hire

978
01:08:55.079 --> 01:08:58.359
<v Speaker 9>two more little Egypts to like take her place when

979
01:08:58.439 --> 01:09:01.159
<v Speaker 9>she couldn't do it anymore, or when you was bored.

980
01:09:03.000 --> 01:09:06.319
<v Speaker 9>But yeah, yeah, she was the one. And she was

981
01:09:06.479 --> 01:09:11.479
<v Speaker 9>not Egyptian, by the way. She just picked up that

982
01:09:11.760 --> 01:09:13.159
<v Speaker 9>name and stuck with it.

983
01:09:13.439 --> 01:09:17.000
<v Speaker 2>Welcome for Yeah, very cool. All right, So let's check

984
01:09:17.039 --> 01:09:20.159
<v Speaker 2>out Chattahoochee and let's see how Neil handles hit.

985
01:09:20.600 --> 01:09:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Let's go. We went down under rona Chada pooch. It

986
01:09:33.039 --> 01:09:36.720
<v Speaker 1>gets hotter than a hoochie coochie. We laid rubber on

987
01:09:36.880 --> 01:09:39.600
<v Speaker 1>the Georgia asphalt. We got a little crazy, but we

988
01:09:39.760 --> 01:09:42.920
<v Speaker 1>never got caught down by the river on a Friday

989
01:09:43.039 --> 01:09:44.159
<v Speaker 1>night here.

990
01:09:44.079 --> 01:09:47.680
<v Speaker 24>In little cans in the pil like talking about cars

991
01:09:47.720 --> 01:09:50.560
<v Speaker 24>and dreaming back when never had a plan just to

992
01:09:50.760 --> 01:09:51.800
<v Speaker 24>live in for a minute.

993
01:09:53.039 --> 01:09:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, went down yonder on the chad a foots.

994
01:09:55.720 --> 01:09:58.439
<v Speaker 19>You never knew how much and muddy water meant to need,

995
01:09:58.640 --> 01:10:00.800
<v Speaker 19>but'll learn how to swim, and I learned who.

996
01:10:00.880 --> 01:10:02.680
<v Speaker 1>It was a lot of battle.

997
01:10:02.359 --> 01:10:18.079
<v Speaker 23>Living and a little about love, really fogging up the

998
01:10:18.159 --> 01:10:19.720
<v Speaker 23>windows in my shitting.

999
01:10:20.319 --> 01:10:23.359
<v Speaker 1>I was willing, but she wasn't ready, So I settled

1000
01:10:23.359 --> 01:10:26.119
<v Speaker 1>for a burger and a great snow cone. Dropped her

1001
01:10:26.199 --> 01:10:29.079
<v Speaker 1>off early, But I didn't go home down by the

1002
01:10:29.199 --> 01:10:32.079
<v Speaker 1>river on a Friday night hearing medle.

1003
01:10:31.960 --> 01:10:35.159
<v Speaker 24>Cans in the pale moon by talking about cars and

1004
01:10:35.239 --> 01:10:36.359
<v Speaker 24>dreaming about winning.

1005
01:10:36.760 --> 01:10:40.680
<v Speaker 19>Never had a plan, just to live in for a minute. Yeah,

<v Speaker 19>any time he under gonna chat a foods. You never

1007
01:10:43.600 --> 01:10:45.079
<v Speaker 19>knew how much of muddy water.

1008
01:10:45.039 --> 01:10:47.439
<v Speaker 1>Meant to me, But I learned how to swim, and

1009
01:10:47.560 --> 01:10:50.079
<v Speaker 1>I learned who I was. A lot of battle living

01:11:08.079 --> 01:11:09.079
<v Speaker 1>water meant to me.

1013
01:11:09.359 --> 01:11:11.439
<v Speaker 23>But I learned how to swim, and I learned to

1014
01:11:11.640 --> 01:11:14.159
<v Speaker 23>It was a lot of battle lidden and a little

1015
01:11:14.239 --> 01:11:18.039

1016
01:11:33.279 --> 01:11:36.159
<v Speaker 2>So Neil gave me the finger and walked off. Zoom

1017
01:11:36.199 --> 01:11:37.319
<v Speaker 2>I've never had that before.

1018
01:11:37.840 --> 01:11:41.960
<v Speaker 8>I did not know. I sat here and endured the

1019
01:11:42.079 --> 01:11:42.640
<v Speaker 8>whole thing.

1020
01:11:43.439 --> 01:11:44.439
<v Speaker 3>I was tempted.

1021
01:11:46.720 --> 01:11:51.000
<v Speaker 8>Now, you know, I think I have heard that song before.

1022
01:11:51.600 --> 01:11:53.960
<v Speaker 8>I didn't know who it was or but let me

1023
01:11:54.039 --> 01:11:59.880
<v Speaker 8>tell you this. It contains every cliche everything I did

1024
01:12:00.199 --> 01:12:05.159
<v Speaker 8>test about country music all in one song. So yes,

1025
01:12:05.560 --> 01:12:09.279
<v Speaker 8>that that's how I feel about it. Now, if you're

1026
01:12:09.279 --> 01:12:13.079
<v Speaker 8>talking about a Huci Coucie Man Muddy Waters song, yeah,

1027
01:12:13.159 --> 01:12:17.800
<v Speaker 8>I'll take that any day over this Suci Couci nonsense

1028
01:12:17.880 --> 01:12:18.680
<v Speaker 8>here with this guy?

1029
01:12:18.920 --> 01:12:20.239
<v Speaker 2>Did we break Neil tonight?

1030
01:12:25.600 --> 01:12:28.039
<v Speaker 8>You know, I've got my right to free speech absolute

1031
01:12:29.359 --> 01:12:32.920
<v Speaker 8>kind of sort of maybe not after you know tonight.

1032
01:12:33.079 --> 01:12:40.399
<v Speaker 8>But no, sorry, no, that did not did not do

1033
01:12:40.520 --> 01:12:41.119
<v Speaker 8>anything for me.

1034
01:12:41.520 --> 01:12:43.760
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, I get it, I get it. I actually like it.

1035
01:12:44.000 --> 01:12:44.880
<v Speaker 2>I found it catchy.

1036
01:12:45.199 --> 01:12:51.479
<v Speaker 8>So that the fiddle that yeah, oh that's like, oh

1037
01:12:51.920 --> 01:12:52.720
<v Speaker 8>I'd rather.

1038
01:12:52.760 --> 01:12:55.840
<v Speaker 3>Like that's actually like the only part I didn't mind.

1039
01:12:56.840 --> 01:13:01.000
<v Speaker 8>I'd rather have, you know, like sir, injury or something done.

1040
01:13:01.159 --> 01:13:10.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, yeah, all right, sorry, that's all right, tortures over.

1041
01:13:11.199 --> 01:13:13.960
<v Speaker 8>But but but you know what you were saying. How

1042
01:13:14.159 --> 01:13:19.640
<v Speaker 8>you know, country music, in spite of popular belief, is

1043
01:13:19.720 --> 01:13:22.560
<v Speaker 8>the most popular music like on the planet. You think

1044
01:13:22.600 --> 01:13:23.920
<v Speaker 8>you know rock or pop or what.

1045
01:13:24.399 --> 01:13:24.439
<v Speaker 15>No.

1046
01:13:24.920 --> 01:13:30.720
<v Speaker 8>Country music consistently has been out selling everything all the time.

1047
01:13:30.960 --> 01:13:33.359
<v Speaker 8>So yeah, no, that does not surprise me.

1048
01:13:33.520 --> 01:13:35.199
<v Speaker 3>There's no accounting for taste.

1049
01:13:35.760 --> 01:13:38.680
<v Speaker 8>It just doesn't you know. Well, maybe I have no taste,

1050
01:13:38.720 --> 01:13:40.720
<v Speaker 8>but you know that's okay with me too.

1051
01:13:41.000 --> 01:13:41.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1052
01:13:41.640 --> 01:13:46.760
<v Speaker 9>It a big country, that is true, very large country.

1053
01:13:47.399 --> 01:13:50.359
<v Speaker 8>No. No, so, I mean you know what everyone's Everyone

1054
01:13:50.439 --> 01:13:53.000
<v Speaker 8>can like what they like, and that's.

1055
01:13:53.199 --> 01:13:54.960
<v Speaker 9>Just something you don't have to listen to it.

1056
01:13:56.880 --> 01:13:57.239
<v Speaker 2>That's here.

1057
01:13:58.279 --> 01:14:01.279
<v Speaker 8>Oh well, and you're off the hook, like I said,

1058
01:14:01.399 --> 01:14:03.680
<v Speaker 8>But I did. I sat quietly and listened.

1059
01:14:04.000 --> 01:14:08.319
<v Speaker 2>Ye, and Mercedes, did I meet the criteria for the topic?

1060
01:14:10.359 --> 01:14:13.319
<v Speaker 9>I was too busy listening trying to decide whether I

1061
01:14:13.560 --> 01:14:13.720
<v Speaker 9>liked it?

1062
01:14:14.159 --> 01:14:16.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, all right, what did you think? At the end?

1063
01:14:17.880 --> 01:14:20.880
<v Speaker 9>I thought, I agree about the fiddle thing that I

1064
01:14:21.000 --> 01:14:24.399
<v Speaker 9>don't love that, but I didn't. It was fine. It

1065
01:14:24.520 --> 01:14:28.800
<v Speaker 9>was fine not going out to buy the record, but yeah,

1066
01:14:29.039 --> 01:14:31.840
<v Speaker 9>I mean it was okay. It was country music.

1067
01:14:33.119 --> 01:14:36.680
<v Speaker 2>Barber's shaking her head new I don't.

1068
01:14:36.520 --> 01:14:38.399
<v Speaker 11>Want to really say this on the air, but that

1069
01:14:38.560 --> 01:14:40.000
<v Speaker 11>was the whitest song I've ever heard.

1070
01:14:41.560 --> 01:14:46.960
<v Speaker 2>It's out there yeah, fair enough.

1071
01:14:47.800 --> 01:14:51.439
<v Speaker 8>Well, like I said, it had every cliche known to

1072
01:14:51.560 --> 01:14:54.720
<v Speaker 8>country music all wrapped up to how many like three

1073
01:14:54.760 --> 01:14:58.159
<v Speaker 8>and a half minutes or whatever. It's all stuck all

1074
01:14:58.279 --> 01:14:59.000
<v Speaker 8>together like that.

1075
01:15:00.680 --> 01:15:03.119
<v Speaker 2>All right, So, uh, this seems like a good time

1076
01:15:03.159 --> 01:15:03.840
<v Speaker 2>to pull the plug.

1077
01:15:06.199 --> 01:15:08.439
<v Speaker 8>That would have been about about five minutes ago.

1078
01:15:08.600 --> 01:15:13.159
<v Speaker 2>Actually, yeah, I feel as though I have accomplished my objective.

1079
01:15:14.399 --> 01:15:16.439
<v Speaker 2>So I stirred the pot and now I'm.

1080
01:15:16.279 --> 01:15:16.760
<v Speaker 8>Going to leave.

1081
01:15:17.359 --> 01:15:19.479
<v Speaker 2>I actually enjoyed it, Brian, all right, there you go.

1082
01:15:19.680 --> 01:15:22.479
<v Speaker 2>Well it's two out of two out of six. Could

1083
01:15:22.520 --> 01:15:24.000
<v Speaker 2>have been, could have been a whole lot worse.

1084
01:15:24.760 --> 01:15:26.439
<v Speaker 9>I'm musa say two and a half out of.

1085
01:15:26.520 --> 01:15:28.840
<v Speaker 2>Six, two and a half. All right, I'll take the half.

1086
01:15:29.119 --> 01:15:33.119
<v Speaker 2>I'll take it, all right. So yep, let's pull the plug.

1087
01:15:33.319 --> 01:15:37.600
<v Speaker 2>Let's go. We'll head out. And with that, thank you Cranbones,

1088
01:15:37.640 --> 01:15:40.800
<v Speaker 2>Thank you Mercedes for the topic, because once again I

1089
01:15:40.880 --> 01:15:42.359
<v Speaker 2>had to narrow it down. I know, I had to

1090
01:15:42.399 --> 01:15:44.479
<v Speaker 2>put some time into deciding which I wanted to go

1091
01:15:44.600 --> 01:15:44.800
<v Speaker 2>with this.

1092
01:15:45.000 --> 01:15:46.439
<v Speaker 9>So was that my topic?

1093
01:15:46.600 --> 01:15:47.640
<v Speaker 2>It was your topic, wasn't it.

1094
01:15:47.760 --> 01:15:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

1095
01:15:48.479 --> 01:15:49.880
<v Speaker 8>Yeah I think so.

1096
01:15:50.520 --> 01:15:51.439
<v Speaker 3>No, I thought it was mine.

1097
01:15:53.039 --> 01:15:55.560
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I'm sorry it wasn't mine.

1098
01:15:55.600 --> 01:15:58.079
<v Speaker 9>That's all I know, all right, I never complained about

1099
01:15:58.079 --> 01:16:00.479
<v Speaker 9>the heat, so I would be surprised if all.

1100
01:16:00.479 --> 01:16:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Right, well, I asked the wrong person, Barbara. Did I

1101
01:16:02.640 --> 01:16:03.760
<v Speaker 2>meet the criteria?

1102
01:16:03.840 --> 01:16:03.960
<v Speaker 8>Then?

1103
01:16:06.279 --> 01:16:07.279
<v Speaker 2>I guess I don't know.

1104
01:16:07.520 --> 01:16:10.800
<v Speaker 11>I was just trying to trying to trying to listen

1105
01:16:10.840 --> 01:16:11.920
<v Speaker 11>to it without throwing up.

1106
01:16:12.560 --> 01:16:16.319
<v Speaker 8>All right, Oh my god, I thought I thought I

1107
01:16:16.479 --> 01:16:22.640
<v Speaker 8>was being demonstrative about my opinion. Oh she's holding back,

1108
01:16:22.800 --> 01:16:23.680
<v Speaker 8>and I have made.

1109
01:16:23.640 --> 01:16:24.600
<v Speaker 2>Enemies this evening.

1110
01:16:26.199 --> 01:16:30.079
<v Speaker 9>Was the criteria about whether it's about hot people.

1111
01:16:32.079 --> 01:16:34.520
<v Speaker 8>It was hot, Well, it's about it was like a

1112
01:16:34.600 --> 01:16:35.159
<v Speaker 8>summer time.

1113
01:16:36.359 --> 01:16:38.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, hot summer, that's it.

1114
01:16:39.199 --> 01:16:40.840
<v Speaker 8>Yeah. Well, I mean I might not like the song,

1115
01:16:40.920 --> 01:16:43.720
<v Speaker 8>but it fit the topic. I thought, Yeah, I guess

1116
01:16:43.760 --> 01:16:44.039
<v Speaker 8>it did.

1117
01:16:44.439 --> 01:16:46.760
<v Speaker 2>All right. All right, so I guess I owe you

1118
01:16:46.760 --> 01:16:50.840
<v Speaker 2>an apology just for the torture. But everybody else did

1119
01:16:50.920 --> 01:16:55.600
