hit that symbol ar Okay, it's too that's important. So
tonight we're going to be just talking about music. And
one of this idea of a few weeks ago is
and I know exactly what you mean. You'll be driving
along usually and the song will come on and go, man,
I haven't heard that in like twenty years. And it's
really a good song. But it isn't like something's on
your playlist or it was over you know, overlooked, or
you wouldn't have it on your playlist to begin with.
But it's just like kind of a really cool song.
So you just wanted to Well, we asked everyone who's
coming on tonight just come up with two or three songs,
and I'll give you one right now, just to start
it off. Okay, driving them home from the station one night,
and I don't even know what radio station was, but
they played Macgotha Park and I go, oh, man, when's
the last time you heard that? Right? Yeah, And it's
this this it was in the end of the sixties.
It's Richard Harris the actor, and Jimmy Webb wrote the music, right,
and it's the it's the Wrecking Crew is the the
musical background. But it's this like grand you know, opus
kind of thing. It's it's yeah, it's this long instrumental
the kind of it in the middle of it long long,
you know, and it's and it's really moves and it's
very dramatic, you know, very you know, it's like a
stage something like a movie soundtrack. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah.
So yeah, myth the podcast really weird lyrics, has like
psychedelic lyrics. Is I'm sure it's high when he wrote it.
And the music is great and it's the Wrecking cre
how Blaine is the drama. Just listen to the drums
and that man really good, keeps the song moving in
just such a cool way. So yeah, I said, And
so I downloaded. I haven't on Spotify now listen to
it all the time, but just out of the blue,
probably hadn't heard it. It's got that up teppot beat
the whole Yeah. Yeah. And then it's very operatic too.
That's another thing. You know, It's like it's like, Wow,
we'll bring her in hot. You're in hot. Yeah, a
good friend Bob with is with us coming in hot? Right?
Speaker 7: Hello? Boys, did you miss me?
Speaker 1: Did Yeah? Well you know I missed her. Well, you

You're out in Wisconsin.
Speaker 5: Right westconsin, yes, opposed to East Wisconsin.
Speaker 1: That's the second guest we've had on from Wisconsin. Yeah,
that's odd. Now why is that? I'm getting suspicious about that?

to go? Whoa take my wife please? Okay, So we
just here talking about music, and we just started saying,
and you're going to perform for us later on, and
it just give us a little bit about your career.
When don't we start that way? You've been doing this
for little bit. You have some beautiful so you got
a long career and you you're you've been on there.
I know that you were on the road for a
long time. Are you not still on the road.
Speaker 5: Well, I'm on the road for other things that then
also include music, but not like when I went out
after high school for twenty years and was.
Speaker 7: On the road.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah wow.
Speaker 5: Well I started playing piano when I was like four
or five. I started teaching myself. So that's how far
back I went.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 7: Started writing songs when I was about twelve.
Speaker 1: Really yeah, yeah, you taught yourself the piano. Yeah, that's
that's a that's a feat, man, because the piano is
just to me. I can't get two hands. I can't
get two hands working together on anything, guitar, whatever, you know.
Speaker 7: But it's wild.
Speaker 5: It's wild when you're playing the piano to kind of
step out and look down at what's going on and thinking, wow,
how does that?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and there's just so many different combinations.
I mean, there's zillions of different ways you can play
the piano, know, but a lot of songs start on
the piano, you know what I mean? They start you know,
people sit down and they'll doodle it on.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: The Christian process always starts, seems to always start in
the piano.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Wow. So, so how many songs have you written?
Speaker 5: I am going to say probably over a thousand, but
I've probably got well you've seen them one I don't know,
four or five hundred that are recorded.
Speaker 6: Hundreds yeah, yeah, really hundreds that are real songs that yeah.
Speaker 1: Mm all, can you could if we threw one out
at you, could.
Speaker 5: You okay, start at the eighth yeh ask me tell me? Okay,
is this the whole show? You guys look great too,
by the way, I meant to say, with the lights
and the things I haven't seen in a while this way,
so okay. Yeah, but anyway, yeah, back to songwriting.
Speaker 1: Yes, wow, yeah, Well is it definitely a special talent,
you know, and I know that a lot of times
you someone will last, you know that last like maccont Yes,
and you know, i'd get the idea of that song
and they say it just comes to you, you know.
I mean, and I guess that's through the through the
thin air for something. Yeah, that's this tomato. That is
that a tomato? You sure? It just comes? So? Yes,
So how do you feel? I mean, what's what do
you what? You know lead you to sit down and
write a song. There's just a thought in your head
or you see something happen or well.
Speaker 5: For me, it was never that intentional. It was more
like I was very traumatized. I was going through like
a war zone family. Yes, yes, and so I had
to like get this out of me or I was
gonna go crazy. So but I would just listen, like
I'm twelve or thirteen, and I was writing poetry and
I was doodling around with music. And then one day
I was like, oh wait, I hear these words and
here's a melody. And then that was it. I started
to put it together and didn't stop me.
Speaker 7: I just write. I'd sit down. In two weeks, I'd
write fifty songs. Wow, oh man, really crazy.
Speaker 1: So we're talking to Barbara with a musician among other things, and.
Speaker 6: She just got her own merch to check it out. Really, yeah,
we Barbora with band. Really yeah, okay, I like this
onto that. So Barbara listens. So you have merch for sale?
Speaker 7: Uh not yet? This is this is from nineteen eighty.
Speaker 1: Really yeah, what is that? What?
Speaker 5: It's my Barbera with ban Tisha oh I see? Okay,
all right, Barbara with band. And here's a cute Barbara
with band story. We were playing in Sioux Falls, Iowa
wherever Okay, in a bar called the Runway and it
was an old you know, quantt hut from whatever the
army had there, yep.
Speaker 7: And we got there and it was like a marquee, right,
Barbara with band and I get in there and the
stage is really weird. It's really funky.
Speaker 5: It's like this really skinny stage across the back and
then there's this front part where the singer sings and
there's glass on it and there's lights the china.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
Speaker 5: And so we start the set and they're like, yeah,
take it off.
Speaker 7: And I realized they thought it was Barbara because.
Speaker 5: They were a strip joint in the in the weekdays.
They thought Barbara brought her band.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, yeah, yeah, Barbara with band. So what
you do?
Speaker 7: So what I sang and said? I said fuck you
and sang, oh you.
Speaker 1: Kept your clothes on.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, wow, really, yeah that's what you think of No,
not at all.
Speaker 1: But you know, we have to be funny at some point,
so geez, if there was. If you're driving around okay,
and we're just talking about this, like I was driving
around the other day a while ago and hear in
Magantha Park for the first time in easily twenty years,
probably twenty five years. It's just amazed how good it was.
Sounds good even though it's like really kind of hippy
and sixty nine. Okay, there's a lot of years in that,
but it still sounds good. It's so exciting that we're
talking about. The Wrecking Crew is the band Jimmy Webb
wrote lyrics. Richard Harris sings it. You know, he's like
some you know, he's the guy guy Broadway guy. Yeah,
mostly London stage play and stuff like that. He's an
interesting guy. And oh, well there's a funny style. I'll
tell it really really quickly because it's about Richard as
they'll destroy ten times on the show. So Richard Harris,
Richard Burton, Peter O'Toole, all those guys had had a
club and it's the reverse of AA. If one of
them hadn't gotten drunk in a week, they'd go get
them and get them drunk. Right. So, I mean these
guys were, they were famous, and they were you know,
feeling their oats and they could do this stuff. So anyway,
Richard Harris, they come and get him. He's married to
a famous actress so that I can't remember her name.
And he's gone for like a week and a half.
He says, I'm just going down to the plub to
you know, get a beer. And they don't see him
for a week and a half and he's really loaded
and he's just having this, you know, a week and
a half of drinking with these guys. So anyway, his
brother calls says, I think you've really done it this
time because she's changed the locks on the gate and
the door. You know, this is why he said, you know,
you're really you're you gonna you know, you're gonna go home,
but you're gonna have be in a lot of trouble.
So he did. He wound up in Dublin. Okay, he
lives in London, all right, So he has to fly
home and it's like two in the morning Taxi brings
them up. He has to climb over the gates because
you know different. Combo gets up to the door, starts
banging on the door because he can't get any sees
her coming down the steps and he's just a mess,
shows the door and he goes, why didn't you pay
the ransom? Okay, oh wow, we talk about last day.
Just talk about that.
Speaker 7: Yes, that just jumped out of my thing or I
didn't even go look for it.
Speaker 1: Yeah wow, okay, interesting. Okay, what do you using as
a coffee something?
Speaker 7: I got it? Yeah, coaster.
Speaker 1: So so with that story in mind, what have you
come upon a song like that? A popular song, a
song that you like, you just haven't heard it in
a long time.
Speaker 5: Oh gosh, you know, it's it's hard because I think
there's so many because music to me today just sucks.
Speaker 7: I just yea. And everywhere I traveled for the past
couple of years.
Speaker 5: Everywhere I went from London to Colorado to Tucson, all
the background music was eighties.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Oh that's interesting.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's really nobody's gonna play the stuff that yeah, yep.
Speaker 6: Yeah, nobody's gonna play the what stuff the classics from
the sixties.
Speaker 5: No, those are the good ones. Yeah, yeah, I want
I want to hear I want to hear thunder Road.
Speaker 1: Oh you know, Oh my gosh, you're huge Bruce Springsteen.
Speaker 7: I had been yet.
Speaker 1: How many times have you seen Bruce?
Speaker 7: I think only once.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've seen him once. Fantastic show. I've never bought
an album of his, nothing like that.
Speaker 5: You know, back when Clarence was with them and unbelievable, yeah,
high energy. Now he's falling away.
Speaker 1: High energy. Three and a half hours at the at
the Dome and Syracuse. Okay, they had in and half says,
thirty thousand people there? And I said, how good is
this going to be? But he was great? He was
He was right, He really was. The way it's just
it's more than a concert. It's like show, you know,
the show and this great. Yeah. I can't say more
about it.
Speaker 7: High energy is did you ever see Prince?
Speaker 1: No? I wish they did.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, okay, Prince, here's my Prince stories. So
I was recording early in Minneapolis. You know, I'm seventeen
and I'm hanging out with you know, the twenty six
thirty six year old Most of them are guys and
this recording guy, Chris Moon, and he wants to, you know,
record and we go and he says, yeah, I'm working
with this kid.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 5: He's just amazing explainment, stuve he plays and everything, you know.
And then it's Prince And in Minneapolis he was coming up.
You know, he wasn't always the god that he was,
and there was this time where he was just coming
up and it was really at the time of of
the movie Purple Ray was yeah, it was the name
of Purple r And it was just this electrical time
in Minneapolis. We had him in the time and First
Avenue and I saw him at first to ab during
that time with the time, and oh my lord, and
he only got better and better and better.
Speaker 1: If only one complain about that guy. He didn't play
the guitar enough. Man. He was believable guitar play, he was,
but he would a lot of times he wouldn't play,
which is weird.
Speaker 6: It's a classic video of him doing uh my guitar
fat one.
Speaker 7: Yeah, oh my god, that he.
Speaker 1: Just came out and did that. They did. Yeah, they
didn't rehears with him or anything. They were just playing
the song and they didn't know. You know, if she's
going to show up. And he comes out and plays that,
and you go, you've got to be kidding me. Every
it's just tremendous. The concert for George Yeah yeah, the
tribute to draw or something. Yeah. Yeah. And you can
see the other people playing the all.
Speaker 6: This this Donny Harrison over to his left and yeah.
Speaker 1: Jeff Flynn and Tom Petty and they're all just like
looking at him.
Speaker 7: This is like and they are the great and great Yeah,
well I know, yeah.
Speaker 5: Well, and we had First Avenue, I mean, First Avenue
is just historic in Minneapolis, and and I I got
to open for Tower Power.
Speaker 1: Oh wow on the ground. Yeah.
Speaker 7: And then do you remember do you remember Leslie West?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I opened for him, opened for Chuck Berry.
Speaker 1: Oh we were just thinking about Chuck Berry. No, wait
a second, now, maybe you've told this story before. Don't
you have a Chuck Berry story?
Speaker 7: Didn't I do have a Chuck Berry?
Speaker 1: Did you faint in front of him or something like that?
Speaker 7: No, No, you're close though.
Speaker 9: No.
Speaker 5: You know, he comes to the town and this is
nineteen seventy eight, right, so he's whatever wherever he is
in his career, and of course everybody knows Chuck Berry's song.
So he hires the band, sure, that local band, and
he has some very strict equipment, you know, like the
weirdestamp from nineteen whatever. And usually what happens is the guys,
you know, they're like, oh, well, you know, we can't
find that, but here, we'll just get him this right.
And then he comes out and he sees that the
am he's broken the contract and' he leaves and he
goes to the manager and says, if I don't see
however much money, he says on my amp, because you
broke the contracts, I'm leaving.
Speaker 7: He's got a car waiting. Yeah, So that's what he did.
And no, I was doing yoga in the in the
dressing room and he came in and he's like, are
you okay? Perfectly, but forty minutes he took off the guitar.
Speaker 1: He was out out the door. So Springsteen, Bruce Springsteen
did the same thing he was just talking about on
Howard Stern. I saw the clip of it, exact same thing.
He comes in and and he didn't even talk to
these guys about what songs are going to play. I mean,
he literally drove up in his car, gets out of
that with his guitar, gets his money, plugs in and
you know, and they're going, Chuck, what are you gonna?
What key? You know, you'll get it, you'll get it.
And they do. They do you know the song? Yeah, yeah, right,
and they do. But it didn't get paid, did it
just for to do it? You know? Backup, Chuck Berry.
I'm sure he did that a lot of places, you know.
And well he.
Speaker 7: Got pretty screwed in his career too.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah. Earlier, I mean he got locked up
for like stupid stuff, but later on he got locked
up with stuff that was something that was he should
have got locked up for. Yeah, right, exactly. Yeah, he
was a little head cameras in the restaurant of his
another laser of his restaurant. Yeah, it was into the
video a little too much. But he was rock and
roll all the way through. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6: Keith Richards loved him. That's a great documentary of those
two Hail Hail rock and roll. Oh yeah, they're get
in a fight and and and Chuck Berry and Eric
Clapton just happens to be there, and Chuck Berry says,
how does this go? And Keith Richard goes you wrote it,
and Eric Clatt just laughs, he can't believe these dude
due to bubble heads arguing about this stuff. But then
they show the concert is really good. He went and
looked up his old piano player, Keith Richards, looked up
his own piano player in Saint Louis some place. Looked up, uh,
what is Jack Barrett, john Johnny Johnson or something something
like that. Yeah, yeah, and Johnny Johnston.
Speaker 1: Hadn't seen Yeah, he hadn't seen him in like thirty years.
He said, yeah, I'll take it, you know, and he
played and you know, wow, that's another thing too real
quick on those that guy hard to get any money too. Yeah,
but none of those people made any money really. I
mean Chuck probably maybe more than most. But but it's
it's the if you want to look at the evolution
of it, it's like all that kind of Saint Louis
jazz becomes kind of right, not rock and roll, but
kind of mm hmmm uh like blues Like what am
I trying to say? It evolved from like I don't
want to say, Delta blues that becomes that becomes that
goes over to England, they make it famous and then
it comes back. That's why Keith Richards is such a
Chuck Berry fan and put up with anything from because
they're like, I mean, Burry, Muddy Waters, all those guys,
all those guys, you know, they're cool. Keith Richard said,
what's the thing playing with those guys? Yeah, they wound
up playing and being friends with him, he says. He says,
I went to a party of Holland Wolf's house and
I woke up with you know, bb Kings.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he woke up a Muddy Waters.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's funny, that's funny. So anyway, yeah, so it
is that the microphone, but I hear myself.
Speaker 6: So the evolution of rock and roll really comes from Chuck.
Speaker 1: It's Boat Diddley and uh yeh playing that, and Robert
Johnson came up with that first kind of you know,
electric guitarish type thing that you would hear guitar.
Speaker 5: The open and the blues are the blues are pulling
out of the rock, out of the jazz. And it's
just amazing how it morphs around the world, like you
were saying, you know, it travels in its own life
and its.
Speaker 6: Own like for instance, well, I listened to an early
Rolling Stones album. This is before they were even writing
their own music, and they did a cover of.
Speaker 1: Little Red Rooster. Oh yeah, there was that first kind
of song.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, I mean I've heard a Little Red Rooster
I never heard at that time. I had never heard
it by the original artist who was I think Alan Wolfe.
Speaker 1: Wasn't probably yeah, yep, and they just probably.
Speaker 6: A yeah boom And it's been covered by a million bands.
But the Rolling Stones really put their signature on that
sound and pumped it up a little bit.
Speaker 1: Remember that story from Uh. They just they just do covers.
Speaker 6: They just they added something to their style and they
didn't muck it up.
Speaker 1: They they made it better. They played it, you know,
played it more rough beat to a lot of those songs.
But they got This is from Keith Rich's book. They
get so famous so quick on the on the coattheels
of the Beatles. But whatever, you know, they both came
every famous back then. That so loud they play pop
Eye of the sale Man, remember yeah, on stage and
no one could hear it, No one knew, no one cared.
They were just going crazy that the Stones were there
on the stage, shop by the by the Stone. They
couldn't hear their own stuff anyway, it was in Keith
Ritch's book, video or anything. No, this would be twelve
videos I wanted to be recorded. Well, you couldn't hear it,
That's the whole thing. No one could hear it because
the girls are screaming so loud. They saw nuts barber.
Speaker 6: Can you imagine playing without monitor equipment so that you
can hear yourself?
Speaker 5: No, I have you have not with you know, thousands
of screaming people. But yes, often one in the early days,
you know, I'd show up at a college I was
doing solo, right, and it's the seventies, right, and they'd go,
you play the piano, and then they go down in
the basement into the closet in the back and they'd
pull out.
Speaker 1: In your ear. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 5: So that was a that was a so you know,
and here's to all of the musicians, the young uns
who are on the road who never ever, ever, ever
make it to the pinnacle of the stones, laying in
all kinds of I don't know what it's like these days,
but being on the road as a soloist, and you know,
in bands too, but in the Middle America, Yeah, it was.
Speaker 7: It was rich. It often wasn't glamorous.
Speaker 1: How does Bob Dylan do it year after year? Because
he's Bob Dylan.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but he got he went from you know, god
to demon right, they took out rock and roll and
suddenly they hated his guts and booed him off this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean because he That movie was terrible. I think,
did you see the movie? I didn't see it. I
want to see it. I heard it was good, but terrible.
It's like a harm I movie.
Speaker 6: You know, it's like somebody a big star like that,
that's you can't do it.
Speaker 1: It's like walk on neck shows. I'll tell you this though.
It was. It was a crummy movie. In addition to that, Okay,
you look at people. You know it's a bad movie
when people come and go in it and you go,
who's that again? And what's she doing? And does she
you know? And and you're going through that throw out
the movie, these people coming in, you know, who is he?
And stuff like that. But what it did show is
that before that you had all this Pete Seeger stuff
out there, which is fine, but as as hell, and
it's always it's it's there's no melody, there's no bridge,
there's no middle part and they're always bitching about something.
So well it was then is the best is the
best time ever? You know when you look back on
so anyway, so when Dylan did, he brought in like melody,
he brought in like choruses, he brought in you know.
He he really did change that that folky stuff to
something that was more interesting than it ever was. Okay,
and he do that right away.
Speaker 6: He kind of emulated a lot of things folkies that
were really talking about tough times and uh.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, and in the lyrics are true. The first
two years of No he did the same thing. They
were protest songs, but it was there was a difference.
Speaker 6: Birch society blues and the lyrics.
Speaker 1: And that's another thing. He wrote lyrics, well, the other
lyrics weren't that you know, you know by the book. Yeah.
Speaker 5: His was gothic poetry. Write poetry to really gothic.
Speaker 1: So he could write, he could write lyrics, he could
write music. He just couldn't sing. But it didn't make
any difference, you know, because it was.
Speaker 6: But Lay Lady Lay, I think was the first song
I ever heard that said, man, that's Bob Dylan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I want you. It was also in the
song and say, what the heck happened?
Speaker 5: You know, It's like he was recording Blood on the
Tracks in Minneapolis at the same time.
Speaker 7: I was in the studio with a bunch of my friends.
Speaker 5: We were doing stuff and you see them I did,
and they and then they'd cross pollinate like a bunch
of Minneapolis musicians. Oh really yeah, uh go over there
and then that. I think that's maybe my favorite of
his album.
Speaker 1: Did you did you meet him? Talk to him? Did
he ask you if you were all right when.
Speaker 5: You're laying No, I was just I was singing back
up on all of these tall folks singing guitar, you know,
rock and roll guys. So I was just the backup singer.
So I got to just sort of peer around everybody.
Speaker 1: You know that he has a very lucrative welding business,
Bob Dylan.
Speaker 7: You mean like dirty jobs, you mean welding or like art.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, he sells. He sold one to a casino,
the opening to a casino. It's just it looks like
someone did in the thirties, all different kind of Jake
saw and stuff like that.
Speaker 7: I bet just his name's on it.
Speaker 1: But there's pictures of him. I send him to you. Right,
he's in his metal shop and he's got the hat
down the whole mine yeahs and go wow, Bob Dylan,
it looks like he made something out of lawnmower. Well,
but yeah, he takes we had pots and puts them
together like we do it.
Speaker 7: Tom's burned down cafe in the summer.
Speaker 6: The business that they rebuild it, it's.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So you live in an island
where what it empties out of the winter, right it does.
Speaker 5: It gets down about four hundred people in the winter,
and it's it can be a tough place to be.
Speaker 1: And the ferry only runs what once a day in
the winter.
Speaker 5: The faery only runs until the ice freezes, and then
there's a period of time between the time where the
ice freezes enough to drive on it and the ferry runs.
It's called the wind sled. The wind sled you can't
take you can't take a car on it. But it's
like a hydrofoil. But the big airplane engine on the
if it cracks through the ice, it just keeps going
sort of like that.
Speaker 1: So cracks through the ice.
Speaker 6: The drama home man, So you go to a shop
and say for your groceries, you're coming back on the
wind sled.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you might come back.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Okay, hey, listen, I got caught. I got caught
one year where they said don't draw. There's a crack
in the you can take the ice road all the
way to Bayfield, but don't cross that crack. Well, I
thought I'd just sneak over with my little Kia, get
some gas and come back.
Speaker 5: And oh, my back wheels were in that crack, and
that was some harrowing, really really.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I called the guy, you know, the friend who was like,
don't tell anybody, and they hooked me up and then
we can't get me out.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 5: So we're sitting there hooked up, My tires are in
the crack, We're in this truck, and I'm like, we're
talking about what happens if the car just starts to
go under will it pull us down to or how
long does it take to how long do they give
you to get the car out from under the water?
Speaker 7: Now do you do that?
Speaker 5: And finally then the guy came and he's like popped
us out and he's like just ask me next time.
Speaker 7: I'll tell you where you can go safely, but you
dumb bro.

Speaker 1: Doubt anyway, So your music found too, right? Yeah, oh
my life for sure.
Speaker 4: I mean I can't say I'm an expert on the
subject in regards to names and instruments, but I mean
when it comes to the music itself, for sure, it's
like I think it's just kind of something that gets
inside your cry. I think we've all been so lucky
at our age, you know, you guys, like all of
us so lucky to hear so many different musicians over
our lifetime play and do their utmost greatest stuff. And
I think I think that's you know, it's as you
go along in life and you talk to the younger folks,
and I mean, yeah, they kind of get a little bit,
but it's just like I realize how lucky, yes our age,
you know, to see the coolest people ever on this planet, honestly.
Speaker 1: As you say, And we are really lucky when you
think about that, because we lived in this age of
just repeat what you said, incredible explosion of music from different,
really weird way. I mean someone said, if you take
the population of Britain and divided by the name of
like big rock rules, they have like a very un
even amount of talent comes from that little country to
rule rock and roll. I mean, you know, it's I mean,
when you think about it, you know, the Beatles and
everyone after them.
Speaker 6: It was pretty shocking that great Britain and England in
general would rule during that period of time. It still
does in away right in the era of when the
BBC had their issues with some rock and roll music
coming from America or even homegrown stuff, they would ban
it just figrints.
Speaker 1: I mean, we don't like that word of banning it,
but I think that they they were the only game
in town as far as radio thing. Banning it helped,
you know, the rock explosion, let's say whatever on the
British explosion. But there's a great book that I know
both of us read it. It was was the name of it,
James Bond, the Beatles and Live and Let Ye Live
and let Something. Uh wow, great book. We should remember
the title. But basically what it was, this guy sat
down and he just took the parallel experiences of the
Beatles and James Bond movies. Okay, Live and let don
who knows the.
Speaker 7: Live and let Die, Live and Let Die.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the name of it. But he had
a more clever title like Living Something that was called
the Beatles, James Bond and the British Psychic, the British Psyche. Yeah.
So like, for instance, the first James Bond movie came
out the day that Loved Me Do came out, Okay,
and it goes from there. The ways that they intersect
are really really kind of interesting. But they came in
a point where after World War Two Britain was like broke.
I mean that, like the whole place was like in
the depression for years and years and years.
Speaker 6: And Love and Let Die Bond, the Beatles, and the
British Psyche, Love and Let Die.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just to get it right for our listeners, right,
great book. If you can find that book, really read it. Okay,
I wrote When I saw the cover it said Beatles
in double O seven, I said, I bought it. I
didn't if it said the British Psyche in the bottom,
I don't know why I would have bought it.
Speaker 5: What's the implication though, that they're that they coincide? Is
it like intentional? Is it like the history spiritual?
Speaker 1: Well, they don't know. I mean there's so many times.
Speaker 6: Well, some of the examples was the history of the
music as it was becoming popular. I have different songs
were becoming popular by the Beatles. There were these parallel
lifestyle things going on in the country, right and.
Speaker 7: Reflected inspired by.
Speaker 6: Inspired by, and reflected in some of the James Bond
movie content, right right. That is uncanny the way the
way the books written. It's uncanny how many parallels they were.
Speaker 1: And then the Beatles come would help, And that's basically
a James Bond plot. Let's say those kind.
Speaker 6: Of but but a lot of their great moments happened
like almost like on the same day.
Speaker 1: And and and the point of this whole thing was
that the guy said that you know, they're so broke
after World War two and they used to rule the world.
They said, well, can they possibly rule. Now you know
what they did. They ruled the entertainment world. They took
over the entertainment world, the global entertainment world.
Speaker 6: You know, they took they took it over so much
as some American bands try to emulate the British. British
bands like Theos for example, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean they wanted to be like them, you know,
so uh it really super duple book is the last
chapter he talks about that celebration they had in England
and what was that about? You were the queen parachuted
in with the double O seven you know that thing? Yeah,
the centennial with some British stuff, right, But he does
this whole thing about Maccarttony playing there and and it
was a jubilee. Yeah, some excuse to have a party.
But she whizz and.
Speaker 6: I was there for the seventieth seventieth jubilee seventy years.
Speaker 1: She died right after she died after YEA, so cool. So, Kim,
do you do you have a favorite song? I'm gonna
switching to do you have a favorite song? I don't.
Speaker 8: I don't think I have a favorite. I mean, when
I was going through the list of just dozens and dozens.
Speaker 1: Name on so we know you got a song that
gives you goose.
Speaker 8: Autumn by the Moody Blues.
Speaker 1: Forever Autumn of Justin Heywood sings that.
Speaker 8: Song, right, but which part of the thath re telling
of More of the World Jess Wayne and with Liam
Neeson narrating it and being one like one of the characters.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a very sad song. And he tells a
story about that too. The song contacted him, So we
you sing this song, it's going to be for this,
uh this Wire of the World's movie and uh he said, okay,
didn't Yeah, I guess got paid. Didn't hear from them?
And the next thing, you know, like it's a hit record.
You know that's not what happens sometimes so these guys,
but that is it.
Speaker 8: It's it's a standalone song if you don't know the connection, right, Yeah,
with the Jeff Wayne record, it's it's perfect.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you would have a song, yeah, yeah, it really
is a good song. Yeah. The movie blues are interesting.
I mean a lot of people have to I don't
want to say a choir taste, but you know, the
kind of beatle ish and they brought in a melotron
for the first time. They were really the first kind
of band with a melotron and did some interesting things.
They really did. You know, a lot of people thought
they were a little I don't want to say fairy rock.
Whoa where are you? It's worse every time we're paying
this guy.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but justin Haber's going on a solo tour, right, No.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they had a lot of yeah, yeah, a lot
of I mean, he's done that, He's done that. And
then the John Lodge you got on the bass player
was a great bass player, super Dupa base. I've seen
it a couple of times in the concert. Was he
does he does tours too? Okay? Gray Edges passed away.
Mike Pinder originally Keebop play He passed away, Ray Thomas.
Mike Pinder is one of the original movies. Right.
Speaker 6: Danny Lane was Denny Lane was seeing his famous go
Now which he he sang with Wings.
Speaker 1: And our friend I'm saying Mock and ice friend Patrick
Moraspili with them for eleven years. Eleven years. He was
in the Moody Lewis. Yeah, yeah, interesting. They made a
lot of money. I mean, you know a lot of
people like them. Why not, you know, so, uh, Kim,
what's your favorite song some kind of weird Canadian song
that we don't.
Speaker 4: Know, like Cashmere, I mean go by led Zeppelin.
Speaker 8: Yeah, isn't that a category weird Canadian songs? I mean
you can google it, right.
Speaker 4: I was talking about Bruce Coburn today that Yeah, yeah,
loving a Dangerous Time.
Speaker 1: That's kind of yeah, that's a clue in.
Speaker 4: One of our songs in Canada that's been done by
so many other bands. Yeah, I don't know that. I'm
like you, Steve. You I got a lot of music
that I like. I mean I go across every genre,
every genre of music. I have something that I was
just playing Gershwin. I don't know. It's just kind of
like whatever kind of hits my tune and vibrates me
in the right way. I'm into.
Speaker 1: One of the best things John like some of Max music.
I don't say that. One of the best things John
Lennon never said was he just said, simply, don't be
a snob about music. Listen to every kind of don't
just he was basically saying, don't just listen to rock
and roll, is what he was saying. Yeah, but just
listen to everything. You know, if that's what it's there for,
jazz sound trash page. Well, I don't know if you
want to.
Speaker 7: Go back, you know.
Speaker 5: And when I was starting out as in the seventy
two as a folks not a folk singer, but a soloist,
go ahead, I just play what I love to sing.
I love to sing Springsteen. And everyone was like, you can't.
You're a woman, you can't sing Springsteen. It's like, well,
I think I can and do and do, and so
it was just like you said, Kim, I have this
wide mixture of you know, when Sonny gets blue to
uh to thunder Road.
Speaker 7: I mean, that's the fun of it.
Speaker 1: Let me tell one about musician jokes your mind, Bob,
if we do okay, get ready, what's your definition of
an optimist? No, folks sing with a lutgage? Sorry, Bauer.
Speaker 6: I can't say that about Judy Collins or no.
Speaker 1: Uh no, I mean some do make it. Yeah, yeah,
there's no doubt about it. But Jerny Mitchell, Jerny Mitchell.
Speaker 5: No. But when when I was coming up in it, uh,
the way I tell it is I was I was
dog sitting one time and the owner said, this dog
doesn't really he doesn't respond to food, and I said, oh,
come on, and I can put a hamburger.
Speaker 7: On the floor. Would not.
Speaker 5: And that's how I felt about making money. It's like
I didn't respond to someone saying here's the money because
I just wanted to be.
Speaker 7: A rock star and I didn't. You know, I would
have paid to be a rock star.
Speaker 1: Sure, yes, right yet.
Speaker 5: But that they paid me one hundred and fifty dollars
a night was tremendous for a while, you know. But
you get to a point where and I've seen my
friends in Minneapolis who have come up through the years
and they have a wonderful uh enough venues to do
regular shows. But I don't know anybody who goes out
there on the road like we used to.
Speaker 7: I'm sure they're out there. I just don't know any
of them.
Speaker 1: Can you just ask something about the dog? How long
did that dog live without eating? You said, the dog
didn't respond to food. He wouldn't eat, right, the dog
some kind of disorder.
Speaker 7: He would eat when he wanted to eat. You weren't
going to make.
Speaker 5: Him do anything, okay, all right, waving the food in
front of him, He's like, did.
Speaker 1: He sleep at all? Wow? Okay? All right one. I'm
going to throw out a couple of fun facts here. Okay,
do you mind? Yeah, it's about time for creditline. In
nineteen eighty Living or Not, Ringo had a successful furniture
business you know that, Yeah, in the eighties. Yeah, he
teamed up with some furniture designer, sold very high and
furniture like chrome furniture, that kind of stuff, and was
very successful at it. I guess you know he was
out of my price range or one't they? We talked
about earlier that Bob Dylan has a successful welding business
where he welds ot and I couldn't live till just
someone mentioned to me and I looked on YouTube. Sure
off the pictures of him welding away and his big
shot with a hand on the worst. Yeah. Funny.
Speaker 8: Well, you know when it comes to the first your business,
they usually don't come easy.
Speaker 1: Wow, excellent Chris, when he didn't have to be prompted
on all right.
Speaker 8: He's horrible. Pun in there early.
Speaker 6: Don't you have a fun fact about which beatles solo
right hit the charts more often?
Speaker 1: So the Beatles break up, just a little hit Beatles break
up and they all go into solo careers. That's I
think that's right to say. Okay, George Harrison comes out
with this triple album called which is incredible. Still Roger
selling beetle solo album and it's a three record set,
so think about that. Okay, McCartney had hit songs, hit albums.
But Lennon, David think you had hit songs and hit
albums and Weno did too. What Beatle had more number
one hits than as a solo Beatle? Mick, you should
know this what Beatle had. Paul, You're right on that, Dah,
get right on that, Mic I want to say, Paul, Yeah,
it's Ringo, believe it or not.
Speaker 7: That's what I was going to say.
Speaker 6: A lot of the number one hits, I think his
best for the cover of You're Sixteen Your Beautiful, and
think about in rock and roll in the in its
incubation period, a lot of songs talking about girls who
are sixteen watch it, well, yeah I have the right
sweet little sixteen. Yes, right, you're sixteen, you're beautiful in
your mind.
Speaker 1: Let's get back the fun. Thanks before you know what's

to pass a Lauren California that said, instead of putting
fire alarms in these apartment buildings that they were building
like crazy, put sprinklers in them. And they said, if
you can prove that this sprinkle can put out this
fire that's raging after five minutes, we'll do it. They
did it, and they passed a lot say you have
to sprinklers in all these abutments. Wow. So yeah, he's
made more money out of that. He also had a
tequila brand that he sold for one hundred million dollars.
He's made more money doing this than being a rock star.
That guy, and he's in Van Halen. Bruce Dickinson of
Iron Maiden Iron Maid love that guy. Okay, three things

I mean I must have two dozen favorite songs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just a song about your favorite Who's your favorite artist? Yeah?
Who you whose records you buy? Well?
Speaker 8: Back in the old days, it was Cat Stevens.
Speaker 1: There you go Cheer in the Fire Cat album. Yeah,
his best album was lit a Box.
Speaker 8: I guess one of my favorites of his was On
the Road to find Out, Oh Yeah, which kind of
resonated with me when I was from Europe back in
the old days.
Speaker 7: Wasn't that tea for the Tillerman.
Speaker 2: Was?
Speaker 8: Yes, it wasn't on teaser in the Fire Cat it
was for the Tiller.
Speaker 1: Do you remember the one You might remember this? Maybe
myke he he got in the controversy, couldn't controversy Cat
Steven's and the Stripper down in the combat zone, remember
that story. So he comes to town, he plays and
how weird it is he plays the boss. He got
he's huge. Somehow he gets his way down to the
combat zone in the Boston, which was this two blocks
of dirty movies, stripper clubs, really good pizza, Giants is
King of Pizza. That was my favorite play literally the
combat zone, okay, and and Boston just kind of let
this go. Okay. So he finds himself down there. He
falls in love with this stripper, she's very young. They
have this whirlwind kind of rocks don Roman. She dumps him,
She dumps him to go back to stripping down the
combat zone. He called her mother every night for a
year to see how she was. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and
then I guess heined the Muslim sect. And right after that,
but yeah, yeah at Stevens, you know, now he's trying
to make a comeback to I think he just came
out with some album, some.
Speaker 5: Books well and T for the Tillerman was the soundtrack
to Harold and Matt.
Speaker 1: Yeah right there. Yeah, yeah. I thought his stuff was
a little boring, a little almost like a little too
polished for I thought the production value.
Speaker 4: And spoke to me, yeah, I mean we thought we
were going to get answers from him.
Speaker 6: A lot of good guitar playing a lot of good.
This backup guitar player was really good. Yeah, I don't know,
kind of preachy, but peace trained, peace strain.
Speaker 1: It's kind of the kids. Yeah, you hear that like
two or three times. How about the the those guys
from Cleveland, the Ojs, they did peace Strain. I'd listened
to that one hundred freaking times. Uh. Anyway, Okay, well
let's uh one more.
Speaker 7: Are you gonna ask me my favorite song?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I thought we did.
Speaker 5: Okay please, No, we were reminiscing about have you heard
a song? But well, I just wanted to say, and
this is this isn't.
Speaker 7: I don't mean this to be egotistical.
Speaker 5: It's just that I wrote this song, and it's if
I had of all the thousands of songs I've written, yep,
I would say it was my favorite song. And it
might be just my favorite song in the whole, whole
whole world because none of the other great songs in
the world can like sit right inside me like it does.
Speaker 7: And it's dancing on the beach.
Speaker 1: Oh I love that song. Yeah, yeah, that is a
really good song. Can you play that for us?

Speaker 4: So the standing team, outstanding team. I learned stuff every
time I come on the show and every time I listen.
So I mean, I think one one you you gave
a really funny story years ago that I listened to
and I cracked me up. And that was the name
of the pilots on like the aircraft carriers and how
they get their names. I think one of them was Hazelnuts.
Speaker 2: That was.
Speaker 1: He was a That guy was rich. I forget his name,
but he was a He was a navy pilot turned comedian. Okay,
and he's down in giggles believe it or not, and
he and you got your nickname usually the first two
or three months if you're a rookie, if you do
something stupid, and then sticks with you till you die. Right,
And and he flew intention if I remember this, he
flew intentionally into this air base that they knew the
female cadets were getting, you know, graduating or something like that,
and it was like the place where single pilots should
be for the weekend. So he flew. He flies his trainer,
that T four trainer that they that they fly in,
and and then and all the girls right as he's
getting out, his parachute hooks him and he winds upside
that and the parachute thing is on his groin area toolbag. Yes, yes,
upside down and forever you know, hazel nuts. Yeah, that's sorry, Barbara, but.
Speaker 7: That don't be sorry.
Speaker 5: I traveled for years and years with rock bands filled
with men of the same mind, and they always said
that I.
Speaker 7: Was like one of the guys. So really that was
an ultimate compliment.
Speaker 1: Where are you drummer the guys?
Speaker 6: Okay, well, Barbara, sounds like you traveled with some good guys,
some good talented guys that treated you properly.
Speaker 1: I know they were a little wild. Sometimes you told
me some stories, very very great.
Speaker 7: Guys always treated me great. But you know you guys
are guys. I don't want to be guys because I'm
around I.
Speaker 1: Find I find that offensive and objection. Guys are guys.
Well listen, not to win this fun but another couple
of fun facts real quick. Now, is anyone familiar with
Skunk Baxter of Steely Dan? Yeah, okay, do you know
what he does? The skunk Backstree Jeff Scott.
Speaker 7: Give us a minute to think, not a minute, but
give us ten seconds. What did he Skunk Baxter?
Speaker 8: Right?
Speaker 1: Yes, right, great? He was in the Dewey, he was
in the Steely. He was in Steely and then he
was in the Doobie Brothers.
Speaker 7: I think he's he's perfected a variety of tomato.
Speaker 5: Tomato that has spread because it's good for like, it
can grow in bad climates and it's helping to feed
the world.
Speaker 1: Okay, yes, okay, anyone else? I guess he invented something.
I can't think of what it is.
Speaker 8: Well, I got it hosted notes, that's it.
Speaker 1: No, who did that? Someone?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 1: There was you have a treated Okay, Skunk, get ready
for this. Skunk Baxter runs a highly successful No wait
a minute, that was the that was the false one. Okay,
Skunk Baxter actually is a self taught expert a missile
defense systems. He works at the Piece, worked at the Pentagon,
and he was part of the missile defense Agency, the NASH,
and he worked for the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, which,
uh exultay is the most secret agency that we have.

I don't know how good I feel about that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think that was just like accidental that
he happened to be good. They usually recruit people, and
you know that NASA was really built by the Nazis.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Yes, yeah, we've done shows on that. It's true.
Speaker 7: Okay, of course.
Speaker 1: One last question, this is a trivia question, a true
false question in the eighties, because the Japanese writ for
Apple is Ringo. Ringo stat in Apple dreuice commercials in
Japan in the eighties. Okay, so Apple and Ringo is
Ringo in Japanese. So therefore Ringo appeared in some Apple
juice ads in Japan.
Speaker 7: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It is true. Yeah, it's absolutely true. And he was
in Pizza Hut commercials one super Bowl. Really yeah, he
did a lot of cool Ringo did a lot of
cool things.
Speaker 6: He was in Shining Times Station, he was the conductory.
Speaker 5: And also Japan, Japan was a place where you could
go as a musician. I mean not Ringo was Ringo
the rest of us, Like my friends were like world
feingous in Japan.
Speaker 1: My folks, funny say.
Speaker 7: Her friends sold albums up the wazoo in Japan.
Speaker 1: Yea, yeah, funny. Yeah, it's an interesting places.
Speaker 7: They love Americans American music.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and and and Japanese jazz is really you know
the name jazz expert. But it's not bad.
Speaker 6: You know, see acts that are playing live and uh,
they got a video of it or something that's on
TV in Japan.
Speaker 1: It's like they go crazy. They go crazy of the stones, Yeah, yeah,
big time.
Speaker 5: I did two months in Okinawa with a band out
of was she out of Boston?
Speaker 7: I thought she was Trina Love and Sweet Selection and
that was uh yeah. The the Okinawan people there was a.
Speaker 5: Because they're very you know, yes, oh yeah, except after hours,
you know, we're a done at the band and all
the all the help said, oh.
Speaker 7: You come to party with that? Yeeople are kind of whatever.
Oh my god. They had this game called ping pang
pong and if you you know, you pointed to someone
ping pang and if you missed it, if you weren't
like if you're too drunk.
Speaker 5: They'd stock you in the heady literally punch you in
the head.
Speaker 7: They were crazy people throwing up all over the places.
Speaker 1: Cool I like to throwing up all to drink well.
Speaker 7: And the commercials in Japan have you ever seen those?
Speaker 1: I've heard.
Speaker 7: The wildest stuff.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah, And it's funny because they're not.
I wouldn't call them a jovial population, would you. But
some of the ads. You look at it, you know
what is going through you. And I hate to say it,
but one one just gave me a note says, look
at the Japanese pawn, baby. I mean it is you know,
a very very uh extreme Yeah, okay, they made Tokyo
that looks like New York City on stero. Yeah. My
brother was just there. I have a nephew who was
stationed in Okinawa right in the Air Force, and my
brother went over there and they all went up to
Tokyo and I said to him, Tokyo is going to
blow your mind man, and he says, yeah, sure is.
At night, it's incredible crazy. Yeah, it's like Manhattan all
it up like the last call at two o'clock in
the morning in Tokyo. I don't think so. Yeah. Yeah,
but you think of them as very and they're very polite.
People clean. You know, there's no janitors in the schools
ora in Japan because the kids clean the schools okay.
I mean.
Speaker 7: Well, and you can get everything out of a machine.
Speaker 1: Everything, everything, everything. You can sleep in tubes in the
subway station. You literally get in the tube and you sleep.
I don't know, it's it's it's it's a funny culture.
It's Americanized, but it's you know, it's Asian but also Americanized.
Since world and our presence is still big over there.
You want the pieces of my brother sent me? And
I always wonder about this. I mean, there's a lot
of signages in Japanese, but a lot of it is
in English too, so you think, wow, these people speak
English too? Are they at least no more English than
we know Japanese?
Speaker 7: Right, that's the whole world?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, anyway, anybody, I thought a Yoko joke in there,
but there was anyway. So music, So I'm going to
chee in the one one. Who's the best live performance
you've ever seen? Not not a show that you you know,
worked at, right, you worked at very many? What's just

Speaker 6: A couple of guys from The Fix, The Fix, Yeah,
the thick and that muscular guy that does a lot
of that does saxophone.

Speaker 6: Right, what's that guy's name? He's really good. He plays everything,
Yeah he does. He plays great sax player, the.
Speaker 1: The I've seen Rinko's I've seen him rinkle like four
times maybe always, but he's really yeah. Yeah, well because
he has he's got the guns. Rinko is always a
good show. He was always great musicians and he had
great We saw once Greg Lake was the bass player
and they did call the Crimson King and what did that?
Ringo's playing this?
Speaker 8: This is cool?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was very cool. Peter Frampton was with
them one stop on a guitar player. Man oh man,
is he good? And so I know, always a good show. Yeah.
Speaker 6: I saw Ringo in the All Star Band in the
early years, and I think they had Nils Lofgren. I
mean they had everybody, but I think I was there
for Nils Lofgren and yeah, somebody else. And what Ringo does.
He lets those guys really play play their stuff. Yep,
absolutely do this one of their famous songs or whatever,
and Ringo will be on the drums or he'll be
in the background, and then then it's then there's Ringo time.
Speaker 1: You know, you'll have submarine or you're right. Ringo probably
does half a dozen.
Speaker 6: Songs Octopus's Garden. Everybody gets two songs. I think everyone
in the band gets two songs. We saw on once
and the bass player was the guy from Mister Mister
Oh all right, and I'll tell you his sons were good.
Speaker 1: He was they were good. And Todd Rundgren was the
guitar player, the guy found Average White Band was the
only guitar player. And Greg Rowley on on keyboards, the
original keyboard player from Santanna, and and Luke what's his
name Lucatha, Yeah, was playing guitar. Two drummers, Steve, Steve
Lucatha and that guy the muscle man there. They were good.
Speaker 4: They were very initating that tribute to George Harrison with
everybody playing and Prince playing that guitar.
Speaker 1: We talked about that. Yeah, amazing.
Speaker 6: I think Prince was the declared the best Super Bowl
halftime entertainment.
Speaker 5: That was great, hands down, the best ever. And those
gals and those five inch spike heels in the rain.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8: About Houston. Well Houston. I didn't ask they see it,
but I saw the when they redid it for the
film with the woman that played Whitney Houston go ahead,
and it was where she was saying the uh well
this wasn't then the uh uh half the halftime show.
This was the spangled banner. Okay, yes, yes, yeah, with
the jets going over. So I'm sorry, Can I tell
you what what ruined Whitney Houston? She married a guy
from Dorchester, Yeah, yes, yes, yeah, that's all you need
to know.
Speaker 6: Anyway, So well, last second, I asked that Barbara, did
you visited Paisley Park?
Speaker 1: Didn't you?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 1: I was never at Peace Princess Recording Studio. Yeah, but
I remember the hearing stories about like he was you know,
well he was big, big, big in Minneapolis. He was
like the guy. And then some not talent agency, but
you know some company that does is probably some agent,
a manageer, and brought him out to Los Angeles and
people have said, like the Eagles and Lucas has said,
you know, they'd be in studios and it's like there's
a little kid there, like a little kid, you know,
didn't say anything, just kind of absorbed at all type
of thing, you know, and then he was on his way.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 1: A year later, he's like the biggest thing in the world, right,
and for a good reason, because he's such a talented guy.
It's amazing that. Yeah, he wouldn't play the guitar, and
he's one of the best guitar players ever ever, you know,
but doing all the instruments, piano and played.
Speaker 4: In our city here. Yeah, he played in our city here,
and he went to one of the guitar shops in
town here and he stepped in to try guitar rout
and they shut the door and he put on a
show in this guitar which is still famous in the
city for what he did. It was like unbelievable. But
if anybody had a chance to be in the in
that music shop when they shut the door, right, yeah,
it's psych man. The guy was unbelievable guitarist.
Speaker 5: Yes, well, and he was trying to break from the
system that was draining all his potential profits. I mean,
that's why he became, you know, the symbol, because they
couldn't take the music from the symbol.
Speaker 1: Right yeah, yeah, yeah, funny. Someone explained ones. You know
about rockstock contracts, right, someone Mariah Carey like signed a
thirty million dollar contract and they go, wow, it's huge,
But they say, well, you know she sells Let's say
she sells thirty million copies of an album, which is possible. Maybe,
Well let's say she has two fifteen million dollars. Okay,
So who starts making the money after that? It's the
record company. I mean it sounds like a lot of money,
but they're making tons and tons of money, all right,
And sometimes Otis gets screwed like that, especially if you're
doing your first contract. You'll take anything. You'll take anything.
I mean this we talked about off about this. Tileopatra
Records they have their record forever. I mean literally, we
gave up every kind of rights we had just to
get a record contract. You know a lot of people
do that. Creeden's clear Water read hear that story how
the rec just absolutely screwed him at the height of
his career. John Fogeting, the Beatles had the Capitol Records,
would give the Beatles brief, you're wasting too much money,
You're wasting well.
Speaker 7: Those you know, the rumors that all of those major
deaths were although you know, Prince was challenging him, Michael
Jackson was challenging them, Kanye was challenging him, and then
they come after you like mafia.
Speaker 8: Well there's a great book by Dick Peterson, who was
one of the kingsmen, you know, Louis Louis, and the
book is called Louis Louis We Got to Go Now.
He tells the whole story. He was just young, he
had extremely naive and they were always messing with him,
telling him all things about sex that were untrue. But
he and all the people they met, it's a great story.
But part of it is he's he was instrumental and
ensuing the companies and he got them to a situation
where the artists could buy back their original music. Yes,
I mean they wasn't wasn't free. But he enlisted the
help of some guy. They never mentioned who it was.
The guy said he was just a really wealthy dude,
and he said, I don't I won't, don't want my
name in this because everybody will come to me and
wants you to fight this, and I'll help you. I'll
give you the money to do it. But so people
and they were instrumental. That's part of the last part
of the book. They were victorious and allowing groups and
musicians to buy back their original music.
Speaker 1: To buy it back. Yeah, that's a weird way.
Speaker 8: I mean you should, but before they couldn't get it
at all at all. Right, yes, but it's a great book.
I think you'll probably have to go to third party sellers.
But Louis Louis we got to go now by Dick Peterson.
I heard him years ago interviewed by Ian Punnett on
the weekend Coast to Coast a m and it was hilarious.
It's just a it's a great story.
Speaker 5: We should explain that you can do that in book publishing.
You know, if they if they are through, they've the cycle,
you can go back and buy oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh right, exactly right. The thing about Louis Louie
we should explain to people who don't know what it is.
It's it's a it's basically you know, a white band
doing you know that? Is that reggae in a way there, Mic,
I'm looking at you like a get right on that
ice stream fund what is that? Louis Louis. But it's
like Calypso or something. Okay, this is some kind of
story about it's about a sailor. But they muffed they
intentionally muffed the words okay, and somehow they leave.
Speaker 8: I gotta just recording Cook twenty to Dick Peterson. They
were in that the the guy that hired them to
do it, he wanted to use it the UH for
for background, so he moved the mic way far away
from the guy singing it. So this guy is belting
it out so he can, you know, And and they've
got they've readed this studio for an hour, and they
had one ship and so and and also the guy
had had his braces tightened. So it wasn't wasn't intentional,
I don't think, but that's the way it came out.
But they people they get a call at some point
from some gentlemen in the South asking about the lyrics
repeat the lyrics that they thought it was, but they.
Speaker 9: It was.
Speaker 8: They're listening to this guy, thinking what's he talking about?
And you know how the UH it was banned in
certain states or whatever. They were actually flabbergasted that people
thought that the lyrics were what they what.
Speaker 1: They thought it was supposed to be dirty. They were
supposed to be you know, they thought it was the
dirty song, But can I tell you that was a
that was lightning from God, you know what I mean?
That all the because you would never hear that freaking song.
I remember being on the Southeast Expressway it was probably
twenty years ago maybe, and the bust went by. Yeah
they're still touring. Yeah they yes, right, Louie Louis right
on the side of it. So they had that one
hit and there, you know, made a lot of money
because people couldn't figure out what they were singing about,
you know, and we'd try. I remember as kids, you know,
we tried.
Speaker 7: But what else do they sing in the gigs? I mean,
do they have other songs?
Speaker 1: They got Bobby Bobby Freddy Freddy.
Speaker 8: Like Eustace. Eustace was a greater.
Speaker 1: Wow. Okay, So and every band played Louis Lewis too.
Yeah it was easy. Yeah, als who played.
Speaker 7: That's how you learned the guitar.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, exactly. So yeah, hang on, Sloopy. There's videos
of guys who go into like guitar shops and they
sit down, they plug them all, they go into don
and the guy comes, oh no, no, you're not gonna pay.
Speaker 6: Well, Kim talked about One of his favorite songs is
Cashmere yep, m hm. And what album is that on.
It's on the the fourth album Bilhouettes. Whatever it is,
you know, it's a.
Speaker 4: Theft wall.
Speaker 1: They they wrote that after driving through Kashmere, Robert Plant,
Jimmy Page and uh. And they really got that uh,
I mean you hear it. It's like, well they really
did get that sound, you know. Yeah, you know they
were I never saw them. I don't know anyone who
saw them. They went around long enough. Did you see him? Yeah?
Did you? I did?
Speaker 6: You did Dido in Chicago, a big flash of sixty
nine they weren't. Yeah, a place that's about the size
of your local theater. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the local small theater.
Any good yea yeah? Were they good?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 6: Their second album that just come out, and the warm
up it was like a package tour, yes, I say,
the warm up back. The opening act was Santana. Okay,
all right, all right, Actually the opening act was Lighthouse,
and it was Santana Lighthouse.
Speaker 1: Yeah. They had one big hit, yeah one they like
a big man. They had once and they're.
Speaker 6: Kind of like Chicago and this and this was in
Chicago and Santana was on and then there was a
Zeppelin and the second album came out.
Speaker 1: A whole lot of love was that was? That was
the charts. Yeah, yeah, it just sounded so different. It's funny.
Speaker 6: Their first album, which I liked just as much as
a second, didn't chart very well. It was kind of like,
it's okay, but they were about the second album for
a second album.
Speaker 1: Now that we talk about Canadians though. All right, two guys,
all right, I just I just wrote, I just read
I'm almost done with it is Geddy Lee's autobiography called
My FM Life. It's great, it really is. It's it's
he writes in such a way as just you know,
it's it's like a pleasure to read. Let's say, it's not.
You don't have to figure stout out stuff. But number one,
well he was on height. They actually toured with led Zeppelin.
When led Zeppelin started, Jimmy Page didn't want to be known.
Everyone said he's the guy in the odd words, it's
his band, you know, and he hated that, right, but
when they start out, that's what everyone said. We're gonna
go see him. And on the Marquis he has a
picture of it it's l e a d Zeppelin like
led Zeppelin, that's all small and were then a Yield
led a Boom. They're huge. But the thing about Getty
Lee was if you ever want to be in a
rock band, if you have that dream in you when
you were a kid, and let me in a rock band,
forget about it. All right, you've got to get smashed.
It's going to be terrible because it was terrible on
those guys because they were Canadian. I mean, sorry, Kim,
but that's what it was. You know, they took advantage
of them. They didn't think the record company, yeah, record company,
and in the radio stations, the people who did and
did not play their music. You know, it was because
they're Canadian. They they didn't think they had the talent
that they you know, Lid had. I don't think Neil.
Speaker 4: Young sure, yeah, well the inferiority complex, yeah, you know, yeah,
it really was, you know.
Speaker 1: And and they tell these incredible stories about like backup
Aerosmith and stuff, and it's just in kiss and you know,
it's just it's funny. It's almost spinal tap in a way.
And it's also him about the first chapter, which is
unbelievably written is about his parents who meet Cute and Ushwitz.
They literally meet Cute at the Nazi consecration concentration camp
and the guy got his wife from going into the chamber.
They were separated the wads and they run into each
other in a refugee camp where there's like two million
people there. Right, They got married and moved over to Toronto.
I mean that's the story. Wow. So you know, he
was brought up in a real but he is not
really religious, but his family was, you know, and there's
like the balance between that really well done, well done.
And he said, yeah, we got high all the time
we're in high school. We can smoke about like crazy,
you know. I mean he's really upfront about it. And
it was very good. And those guys are such great musicians.
They're just like crazy good, three of them, you know.
And they said, let's just be let's be a three
min Augusta and that's what they did, you know, And
it was I mean, once again, I know they hit
I haven't listened every rush long there is. You know,
you can really be into them, but for you know,
writing really good song. Subdivisions is an unbelievable song if
you listen to that all aspects just really right, you know. Yeah,
they were good, They're very good. And the other guy
we want to mention two. It was Rick Deringer. Okay,
he passed away, I guess either today yesterday, and people
might not know him, but way way back and they
had a hit record when he was a teenager, called
him on Sloopy right then the name of the band
was the Real McCoy's. Then they changed it to the
McCoys and it was a It was a hit when
he was a kid, and they were around for a while.
They had a few hits I think after that, right,
the real Look, he was seventeen when he did that. Yeah, yeah,
that's early. I mean, so then he you know, he
he to wol and so on and so forth. But
then he hooked up with Eggar Winter was a Johnny okay,
and and had huge hits Frankenstein and he was around
in this that was seventies and eighties. But then he
went on to produce like Boba Streisand and Sidney Lopmer
and he played this is the most amazing thing. He
played on Steely Dan records. Now we were talking about
earlier Steely Dan. The way that they would do records.
Was crazy, Okay, it was like HOWM I T would
build a record, right, and then we have all kinds
of really top notch people you'd never even heard of
were on those records. I never thought Rick Dereinger was
that kind of a guitar player that he'd be in
Steely Dan's orbit, but he was. He's only three of
those records, So yeah, it seemed like a great guy.
He was just, you know, a musicians, musician. He played
with a lot of people, He played a lot of
hit songs, he produced hit songs, and uh yeah, Rick
Darren jump.
Speaker 4: Very amazing dude, no doubt. Yeah, it's amazing how long
his career went.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I.
Speaker 4: Guess he was really fascinated by Asian music. Hey, that
was kind of written that really kind of strung his chord. So,
I mean, he had a lot of different alleys that
he went down for music, isn't it that? So most
people that he played with and worked with, Yeah, there
must be some sad folks like today, I would think
that I think it was yesterday that he passed away, right, yeah, Mac, Yeah,
I don't know where it was in California. Maybe that he's.
Speaker 1: Florida past Yeah, Florida. Yeah, he was on I'm reading here.
There was also on Donald Fagan's solo album Nightfly Well,
which was big, which is as big as huge. That's amazing. Yeah.
I would never think that he would be in that,
like I said, in that orbit, but he was. So
he was seventeen when that hit and he died at
seventy seven. So basically he was in. He's in the
rock world sixty years. That it was his career sixty years.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 1: Wow, doing all these different things. It wasn't just this
one hit two hit. Wonder is they produced in top
I mean, if you have the producer for Rabas streisser Man,
you know, what, do you like her music? You have
to have it. You have to have something going for you,
you know, I mean she's a perfectionist and big, big star.
How about Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclips of the Heart. Yeah,
what about it? Great songs for me? There you go,
thank you.
Speaker 4: Robbie robertson the band.
Speaker 1: Yeah. You know, here's another thing. How much time we
have left? Robbie Robinson have like how many screenplays he
was doing with screenplays? But how much be so he's
in with what's his name? They had that other hack
squat Sacy and you know, they had this romance and
none of it is really good. But the thing about it,
there's another Canadian guy. Right. So when he was in
the band, I mean, I like the band, but I
don't know. I like people like George Harrison and Eric Clapton,
Like we just went Google on the band. They were okay,
but they fell in love with that Americana type of music.
So he was the guitar player for the band, and
he was a great guitar player. And he grew up
in an Indian reservation. I think this is Robbie Robinson
now seven game of Guitar and someone gave him I
guess Robert Johnson recon of one of those old guys, right,
and he learned it. He learned and learned it until
his fingers bled and it was the worst. And then
they said he's playing a slide. He didn't know then
the guy who's playing a slide guitar, So he's doing
it with his fingers, right, And that's how he had
that kind of style. You know, so from not knowing
you you get your own style. I don't what. Wow, Okay,
the only Canadian story. I'm exhausted. The only story I
know is Rick James, Rick James, Rick James, right, none
of the you know whatever. Rick James was saved from
being murdered by two guys in the band heard this story.
So he's in a Toronto bus stage. He's he's a
draft dodger. He's gone to Canada to avoid the draft.
Rick Dames. And he's in the Toronto bus station three
in the morning and two guys are beating the crap
out of them, robbing him, and they're gonna if they
let to their own devices, they would kill him. God Hudson,
and I think it's the drummer. They don't. Just happened
to be there, and they stopped the guys show him
from beating and they became good friends. And Neil Young
and Rick James were actually in a band together, that's true.
It's called the High Birds or something or you know. Yeah,
they played together for a while. Rick James and Neil Young.
Can you imagine? I can't imagine, but this is all yeah,
this is actually happening. So yeah, has happened. And they
were like good friends. And I think he's dead now, right,
Rick James you must be, but that that riff is
you know everywhere now, no matter what. And he married
Linda Blair of The Exorcist by the way, who Yeah,
she'd laid up almost do it, but that's okay. I
on the show No Doubt rested herself was fun.
Speaker 4: That's a great story.
Speaker 5: And you know when I was when I was playing
in Okinawa, I was playing with these guys and their
whole thing was that they wanted to play with Great White. Yeah,
that was their whole They were from Ohio and Great
White was whatever.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and and ty Uh actually later went on to
play with Great White really yeah, and they were the
ones who There was a big nightclub fire.
Speaker 1: Down Rhode Island.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's right, and he and he died in it.
He had like hair out of here and he just
caught anyway. This is one of those strange stories like
that's wire.
Speaker 1: It happened just down the road from us. Yeah, and
it's as big story here because it's in Roade Island.
But it was very close. One hundred and three people
I think died and they blocked off a lot of
the exits and then there were some exit that bunces
were at. It would not open the door, so people
got crushed. Basically what happened. Yeah, great white, great white.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 1: I didn't get one hundred.
Speaker 4: That Cotton Club too in Boston.
Speaker 1: Was the Blints Village. No, that burnt down. It was
oh Man, not the Beach Comba. In Boston, there was
a huge grove, coconut grove. It was after a BC
Yale game football game. I think that's like five hundred
people grow far big growing up when we heard that.
All a lot of good Boston stories about that.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I got another one, Matt, and I got a
whole list here. But this is because I read a
book on the making of Caddy of Caddy Shack by
Chris Nattawaiting, I think it is, and he goes to
the whole thing, the beginning with you know Harvard Lampoon,
National Lampoon, uh uh, Saturday Night Live, uh Animal House,
and how all these people came together with creative people,
and how things didn't work or whatever all the way
up to Caddyshack. And one of the parts that cracked
me up was, you know, the gopher, which kind of
the central character it was. Later on they decided the
gopher was going to be a bigger presence to kind
of pull things together, and they added more stuff to
Bill Murray and so forth. But I did not know
that I'm all right by Kenny Logins was commissioned for
that film. I thought it was just one of his
songs tour it, but just on a side the Gopher.
Originally they had some kind of like a hand puppet,
and they're told that's that's just not gonna work. They
actually hired John Dykstra, the guy that did the Star
Wars special effects, excuseously, to make an animatronic gopher would
move and dance and move his facial features and even
blow smoke after the Bill Murray blew up everything. So
it's a it's a really fascinating book. If you love
you love those movies and and the way things come together, Chris.
Speaker 1: That's good. So so do they mention in the book
that now, I don't think it's a good movie at all,
because it's it's stitched together, and you just said it.
When when the gopher has to get a bigger pot,
you know you're in trouble, right, They.
Speaker 8: Were in trouble without the Gopher.
Speaker 1: So so I heard that they had the they had
the movie and it just wasn't working. So I get
Bill Murray and they get the Gopher and they and
they actually put a lot of his shots in and
no one else's around, you know what I mean, Right,
they like kind of like cut it in, Okay, and
then I don't know, it.
Speaker 8: Worked the same thing happened with with Meatballs. Things weren't working,
and they added more stuff with Chris Makepiece and Bill Murray,
but uh, you know they uh. And also they realized
they didn't have any scenes between Chevy Chase and Bill Murray. Okay,
so they hated those two guys. Remember when they meet
in in Carl's shack because Chevy wants to play through
with his golf ball, and they had this bizarre, mindless conversation. Okay,
it's hilarious.
Speaker 1: It's just like.
Speaker 8: Well they wrote they they wrote that pretty much during
lunch and then filmed it.
Speaker 1: You could tell you know what lunch was. But Gopher,
those two guys hate each other. They used to fight,
in fact, I know, but.
Speaker 8: They made up. They kissed and made up, didn't they really?
Speaker 1: Was that in the movie. I forgot that.
Speaker 8: Well, they actually cut that out. They pixelated it.
Speaker 1: Even better.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's Jenner.
Speaker 5: Jennifer Lopez apparently is her new thing is just making
out with everybody.
Speaker 7: Dancers, okay, the women, the men around the stage.
Speaker 8: One one. Maybe you want to get rody again?
Speaker 1: I do, boy missed that? Have you ever seen he made?
Ben Affleck who is from here, made the worst movie
ever with her, uh Bigley Geo bully as Okay, I
saw right. Now here's the weird thing. She's not a
bad actress. I know she's a terrible person in life,
but and you know, I guess she's saying so who knows.
But she's not a terrible, terrible actress. He's a terrible
terrible action man. Holy I'm no liba, you know. And
it's just this really stupid, stupid movie. They got married,
Remember they got married just in the publicity for the movie,
and stuff movie comes out. It's Hindenburg crashing into the Titanic.
That's all bad it is. And then they get divorced,
more publicity, then they got back together. I mean, come on,
you know, is this really long?
Speaker 8: She was dynamite and anaconda was.
Speaker 1: She could eat? Did they did the snake eater?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 8: She she actually she might she moved faster than the Snake.
I don't know how they maybe she was c G
I two.
Speaker 7: Well, she was great in Selena.
Speaker 1: I mean that's another that's another snooze though, you know,
was she uh? Was that the person the superstid down
in Brazil? They got shot by her own fan club.
Speaker 5: He was actually from Mexico. She was from Corpus Christie. Okay,
but yeah she got shot by. I thought she did
a really great job.
Speaker 7: But then whatever, so.
Speaker 1: The other one starry Okay. Anyway, all right, it's time
to say goodbye, all right, and I'm going to singobye.
Speaker 6: Oh, I don't want to say goodbye. No, it's time
to say good night.
Speaker 1: I didn't. But yeah, they've done some good songs. I mean,
was one of these bands that can sit down to
a hit song, you know, if they're in a good
mood or you know, when when it comes to like
Billy Joel for instance, he can sit down and write
a hit song, you know, and he just does it.
You know, that's just he knows how to to do
it a little too quirky. And you know, they don't
want to be rock stars, but they are, and all
that bullshit.
Speaker 4: No sex symbols, no sex symbols in that band. Yeah,
they were just yeah, unbelievable.
Speaker 1: They were safe from that. They did some good songs
they did. They did Automatic for the People that album.
I just played that from beginning to end. That was
just And you know who produced no, no, you know
who produced Automatic for the People is John Paul Jones.
And yeah, just a great, super duper album. Wow. Artists yeah, artists, yeah,
they realize. Yeah. You see them on TV all the
time being m TV, you know, being interviewed, and they're
just like droopy, like they don't want to be there. Jesus,
you know, they get out of the business, you know. Anyway,
I'm not going to say goodbye to anyone. I'm not
going to go through that, you know, put in to
say about of Bobera and then she's gone. And I
just want to thank everyone that joining us that this
is fun. Right, Well, you got to do this more often.
I love it. I'd rather do this, frankly than UFO stuff.
I really would. Yeah, maybe we should.
Speaker 7: Great fun grade fine, great, it was fun you.
Speaker 1: Guys and and and switching. You surprised this you know who,
uh who do you say?
Speaker 7: Louis Louis?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I tell you.
Speaker 8: You guys, you got to find that book. It is
an absolute hoot. And if there's any way you can
find that interview, I've actually got it on I burned
it on CD. Remember CDs? Yeah, yeah, years ago. Uh
Ian Punnett was such a good interviewer and Dick Peterson
was a great guest and he had such a great
story and it's, uh, it is so entertaining. But man,
get that book, even if you have to pay a
few bucks extra from a third party pirate.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting. They got to buy their music back,
and I know that's one step closer than you know,
just getting it back, but to buy it back, that's
so it's possible to buy your hit music back. You know,
I'm you know who they were?
Speaker 8: That group were the ones that were proper the benefactor
was what was? Were the ones instrumental in doing that?
Speaker 1: The the guy in in England who it's not the
same thing. He said, I'm going to retain the rights
to my music from the get go, or I'm not
going to put it out right, and he retained the
rights to it and he became a zillion zillion zillion
is Dave Clock. He was the first guy that said, yeah,
you're not going to keep it fubb ever, I'm going
to have it. And yeah yeah, and he's you know,
he's he's still around his terrible plastic surgery. It's really bad.
But yeah, yeah, but a friend of Freddie Mercury and
uh uh yeah, you know he he knew enough he
couldn't play the drums him and Dennis Wilson. I mean, jews,
I can do that. Go ahead, yeah, no, you do it,
you do it. I'll pretend it to me.
Speaker 6: I think the drum work and Dave clock five records
wasn't really that complicated.
Speaker 1: Yeah, pie, oh that's right. He did the running right, yeah, okay,
all right, always on ED Solving, always on every other week.
So anyway it Sulvan loved everybody.
Speaker 6: But you can't sing let's spend the night together and
use those words and the label.
Speaker 1: And they did that. I mean they made yeah right, yeah,
light my fire, yeah yeah, yeah, got kicked off. Yeah
there's the doors. They said, what was it in the doors,
and we won't get no higher right yeah uh and
and he's sanging on. But they made ED Solving made
them rolling stones change, Let's spend the night together to
let's spend some time together. And they actually they did it.
They did it, and you know they had this rebel
image and image and stuff like that, but it was
just it was just it's the word they get so famous,
you know, from being an Ed Sullivan that's you know,
you're a comedian. Gleno San was the ticket back. Yeah,
that was it.
Speaker 6: And they did the Beatles do that and that was
a b line right to the Sullivan show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't do the airport, don't do songs with dirty lyrics,
and went back to the Kingsman. You know, Hard Days Night.
Speaker 6: If you if you watch The Hard Days Night by
the Beatles with the excellent production quality and the remastering
of the whole film and the music is wonderful. You
watch the joy in their faces being in New York
City and listening to their listening to this transistor rator
that looked like a pepsi A great it was a
great marketing tools listen and listening to their own songs yep,
number one hit again. Yeah, yeah, while they're in the taxi.
Speaker 1: Yeah to the there's a there's a footage okay that
people someone have they've taken it out. It's on YouTube
and In that scene, they're at like the Plaza Hotel
and now they're getting the husses and all that, the
cops and stuff ready to go, and Jonlin is sitting
there with a what is that thing? What's the thing? Ammonium?
It's basically it's like a flute, but it has keys
like a piano on it. Okay, and then the sound
is kind of like flu dish. But and he plays
the beginning of Strawberry Fields. Now this is like nineteen
sixty four in February, and he plays that, you know, dude, yeah, dude,
and you go wow. So that's in his head when
they run at Sullivan like two hours like amazing.
Speaker 8: You know, next time Mac will have to bring up
the Wrecking Crew. Oh right, they were, Oh yeah, yeah,
that's a great book too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is two whiles. But basically, yeah, it's a movie.
I think there's a movie now too. But the Wrecking
Crew was this bunch of studio musicians in the sixties
and seventies, and believe me, they played on all your
favorite songs, you know they would. They were the backup
being for the Beach Boys. For instance, the Beach Boys
didn't record the music. The record crew did. They came
up with that whole surf thing. You know, they were
doing dig Dale but you know, the bass, and they
did that the modes, they did the Monkeys, all the
monkey stuff, and that's basically that's how the Monkeys got
found out for not doing the wrong music. They did
Simon and goffunk O Records. I think Simon and Gofak
would be in New York and never leave New York,
you know, forever and ever. They did all their they
did the first few albums with the record crew. Hal
Blaine and MacArthur Park were talked about earlier. Al Blaine
the drummer. Someone said I didn't know who he was,
and then I found out who he was, and he's
like the drummer room. He's like ten favorite drummers, you know.
They yeah great, Yeah, yeah, they were great. Just a
bunch of people who got together, made a lot of money, Carol.
Speaker 8: Some of them were names people might not know. One
was Glenn Campbell.
Speaker 1: Glenn Campbell was yep Sonny and Cheer would go in
and sing backup and stuff. As a woman bass player
on all those songs. She came up. It was just
a street one. Cord Neal and she came up with
makes the song right, yeah, goes on yep, And all
that Beach Boys stuff came from most people, you know,
really cool, cool story, great book and the movies around
somewhere there. It's a documentary. I think. The guy there's
a guy named Teddy Tedisco and his son, I think
put it out and he has this great plot with
his father, right, and he's just this guy, right, he
looks like he's done on the beach Miami somewhere. He's
got the hat on and stuff. He says, I I
do like ten sessions a day. So I go into
a place and they go, listen, we're doing a movie
about Mexico, so we need some Mexican you know, so
you have a few times like you know, like that. Right.
So then he says, now I go someplace and it's
like human music, and they go, we went to you know,
like a Cuban inche to this. So he just goes's
the same thing. He's just funny, you know, just he said,
and they pick up my check and go, you know,
and they all say, wow, that's great.
Speaker 6: The wrecking crew, though they did, they did respond to
what the artist was looking for for the song, yeah, yes,
and the Wrecking Crew always adapted or they made it better.
Speaker 1: Right, right. So the guys who are playing on the
grass roots hits other people playing on the beach Boy hit, right,
And that's why he said, he goes, this guy's like
my ten favorite drammas because he's wunning ten different not like.
Speaker 6: When you listen to the record, say, well that band
sounds a sad no, yeah, yeah, the beach Boys sounded
like the Beach Boys, and the Monkeys sounded like what
they were for a while.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, But as all these guys and the thing
was what his stad was was money. Okay, you put
the Beach Boys there or the Monk if I get it,
the Monkeys of the grassroots and there record their own
songs and you know, go through that process. You have
these guys doing it in the hour. Yeah, I mean,
and they know how to do a hit record, you know,
boom boom boom the day easy.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but how miraculous they could play on so many
wide varieties of that And Nope, you didn't.
Speaker 1: Know, Yeah, you didn't know. You didn't know. To the monkeys,
they blew a time magazine went to go see a
Monkey's thing. They got there shadowing Peter talk. He leaves
his house with his guitar. He goes in. They go,
you won't need that, you know, you're just singing on this,
and he goes what he claims, that's the first you
ever heard of it. But the record was all done,
Everything was done. It was just you know, put their
vocals on so and that made it. It's a Time magazine.
But but you know, people thought it was kind of
dishonest in a way, but not really because it wasn't
the same band. It was the band that the artists wanted.
You know what I mean is they like backup, but
they improved stuff beyond heads and tails. That's why we're
talking about it.
Speaker 7: But what did they do live then? Like when you
went to see the Monkeys live.
Speaker 1: They just had a backup band in the second row. Yeah,
I saw them. I saw them in Boston. Yeah you've
seen that, right, didn't they have a second line and
back of them, right? And they would just come out
and go fake it and start the stage.
Speaker 6: When they when they first started touring, they toured with
Jimmy Hendrix. Yeah, comings came in the Boston Garden. I
had tickets and my girlfriend and I had really good seats,
so we tall. I tolerateed the Monkeys. She was a
Monkeys fan. But they were good. It seemed like they
were playing their own stuff.
Speaker 1: By that time. They they were musicians, you know, they
could kind of do it, you know, but there's there's
definitely times that backup.
Speaker 6: Band Jimmy Hendrix was not there though. I didn't know
what he didn't see. I didn't know it that he
had left that tour to go solo and I'm there
tolerating the Monkeys and some other.
Speaker 1: Local band in uh yeah, I mean no Hendricks, no Hendrix.
Imagine he's going what I'm talking who? Yeah? All right,
One last thing on Jimmy Hendrix. Okay, if you see
video of Jimmy Hendrick starting a song, okay, he counts
down the frets on his guitar to know what to play. Yeah,
every song goes okay, I'm doing this right. He wouldn't
know your guitar player gets around that's yeah. If that's
the play that his starting point right right. Wow, that's
kind of an odd based on what key's going to
play in or yeah. Yeah, it's almost like you didn't
know where where to stott he would count down. He
would count it okay, eighth, My it's this song, yeah right, okay.
Speaker 8: The Wrecking Crew DBD is available on Amazon, very inexpensive
and runs quite a few hours. Oh wow, it could
be a lot of fun. I'm going to want to
check it out.
Speaker 1: It's really good, fascinating. When Campbell was in there, Bruce
Johnson who went on to be in The Beach Boys,
Captain and to Neil. Yeah, he was a studio musician,
the captain was and she used to sing background stuff.
They did a lot with the Coppenters. Okay, there was huge, huge,
They played on almost all the Competences songs and maybe
like John Denver and people like that, though those are
people that don't they're not faking like the band, but
they did like the grassroots and you know, bread, bread
and all that stuff. You know.
Speaker 6: One of the one of the guys that wrote the
song We've Only Just Begun, which is even makes me cry.
Speaker 1: I love really yeah, I love that. Oh wow.
Speaker 6: I love the voice of Karen Kapproenter of God Tonight.
Folks love her voice. But that song came from a
jingle for a bank that right, right right, that's the
guy for the on the record company said, is there
a song in there someplace?
Speaker 1: You heard the jingle? And the guy who wrote I
think his name is just passed away.
Speaker 8: Wasn't it Paul the little short dude Williams, Paul Williams,
I think he did it.
Speaker 1: Was Paul Williams and some other guy, the other guy
one that died. Yeah, he's the guy who brought the said, yeah,

Speaker 1: Just be gone. Paul Williams brought the village people. He
he found the village people.
Speaker 6: As it turns out, Yeah, we got to show about
songwriters and and how it's from the real building. Pat
Boone legitimized so much rock and roll, and he would
steal the song, make a hit out of it, It's true,
and wrecked the song at the same toy fruity.
Speaker 1: And so he did. He did a version of Long
Tall Sally. That's so ridiculous. You got to hear it.
I mean, come on, but that's what they said, singing
Long Tall Sally. That's what he used to be. That's
how he made his bones, you know, bone. And it
was this wholesome blah blah blah.

of the Earth for crying out loud.

say real quick. So we recorded the Basic Trucks at
this place in New reput Roger's Place, right, get right
on that there and laugh when it's uh yeah, So
when you recording the instruments, which we did during the day,
you don't screw around. You go in and you play
and and that's it. And it saw Mike, you know,
it's mock and omni casting play saxophone. And he just
passed away a few months ago. Uh, a great sax player.
But when you do the lyric, when you do the singing,
which was at night, we'd get like really fucked up.
We'd get really really toasted, all right, And the engineer
didn't like it. So I got cargo pants just for
the occasion, and I'd go out by those little nips
of Jack Daniels and plug them into my pants. So
in this place, the control room is in the house.
The control room is in one room and you go
through a like a hallway and go into the recording studio.
We'd go in there, we'd be so freaking loaded, man.
But a lot of the lyrics you were singing in
and then and they wound up on the record, right,
But you're really really loaded, loaded kind of over remote
sometimes yeah, yeah, that's the secret, kids, that's the secret.
Get drugs, right and then just okay, wow, this is exhausting.
