00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:16,039
Speaker 2: We got a great big coon he beautiful time. This

00:00:27,239 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 4: Hey, everybody, welcome back to the Rock and Roll History

10
00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:33,920
Show and Hudson River Radio. I'm Brian Horowitz. Summer's coming

11
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,439
and it's time to hit the road. We're gonna help

12
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,479
you get your playlist together, get some road trip songs

13
00:00:41,359 --> 00:00:43,399
so you have something to do. I know, with gas

14
00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:46,439
prices the way they are, we plan on going up

15
00:00:46,439 --> 00:00:50,439
to and including thirty miles away this summer and back

16
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,679
again if we're lucky. Give her take right, I think

17
00:00:55,679 --> 00:01:00,920
that's about shop writ and back, give or take. Sometimes

18
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,240
you gotta live on the edge. But before we hop

19
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,599
into that, as always, allow me to introduce all the

20
00:01:05,599 --> 00:01:10,400
cranbones joining us tonight. First and foremost from the Richter Observatory.

21
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,200
He once got hired to play the triangle for a band.

22
00:01:13,719 --> 00:01:17,000
He hated it because it was just one thing after another.

23
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,120
Neil Richtor is here.

24
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 6: That would be my dream job actually, to be the

25
00:01:23,599 --> 00:01:28,920
triangle player in any band or orchestra because it's just.

26
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,879
Speaker 7: So cool, and then get it and then have the

27
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:32,359
triangle so low.

28
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, remind me to come back to that because there's

29
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,359
more to it than you might think. But good to

30
00:01:40,359 --> 00:01:45,519
see you, Welcome back, and from paranormally yours. She learned

31
00:01:45,519 --> 00:01:48,040
that skunks don't have a lot of money. They only

32
00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:49,079
have one cent.

33
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,239
Speaker 6: O that stinks.

34
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 4: Sorry, hi everyone. From the silver screen. She saw a

35
00:02:00,519 --> 00:02:04,159
blonde walk into a bar and everybody was staring out

36
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,560
the window up at this flagpole. So the blonde asked, hey,

37
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,319
what's going on and the bartender said, well, they needed

38
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,000
to figure out how tall the flagpole was. She says, okay,

39
00:02:14,039 --> 00:02:16,639
no problem. She takes a wrench out of her purse,

40
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,080
She undoes the bolts, she lays it down, She takes

41
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,759
out a tape measure. She says it's eighteen feet two inches.

42
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,319
She then puts it back up, tightens the bolts, goes inside,

43
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,479
asks for a drink, and sits down with her friends,

44
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,479
and the bartender says, well, that's a blonde for you.

45
00:02:33,719 --> 00:02:35,919
We needed the height, and she gave us the width.

46
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,120
Mercedes Kent is with us.

47
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:43,879
Speaker 1: Hey, it'd be nice to blonde.

48
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 8: Now.

49
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,879
Speaker 4: It was a long walk for a little pair off.

50
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:48,479
Speaker 9: That was good.

51
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: That was very good. Yes, thank you, bry Hey, everybody,

52
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:53,080
how you doing?

53
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,039
Speaker 4: And our officially retired teacher, he says, if you want

54
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,599
to get the art history major off of your porch,

55
00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:07,039
just pay for the pizza. John Kelly is here, everybody.

56
00:03:07,159 --> 00:03:08,159
Speaker 2: That was good, I thought.

57
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,439
Speaker 4: Last, but not least, the host of shaving cream, she says,

58
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,919
if you want to make an egg roll, just push it.

59
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,199
Barbara vill is back.

60
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 10: Hey, that's my recipe.

61
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 6: Don't just don't try and egg drop.

62
00:03:23,439 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 4: Okay, too late, but I'm bump yeap. All right. So, actually, John,

63
00:03:31,039 --> 00:03:33,240
you came up with this topic for this week, this

64
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,039
whole road trip thing, which I am all about. Love

65
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,319
road trips. I have not been on an airplane since

66
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,319
way before COVID. And it's not a fear of flying.

67
00:03:41,479 --> 00:03:45,759
It's the aggravation of airports, yes, and the behavior of people,

68
00:03:45,919 --> 00:03:47,759
and the fact that I would just so much rather

69
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,479
be in the RV and just stop along the way. Yep.

70
00:03:50,919 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: Did you want to talk about the spirit right about now?

71
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 4: I'm sure you do.

72
00:03:55,199 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 6: Bring it on?

73
00:03:57,759 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: What a nightmare. No, that's all I'm going to say. Okay,

74
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:02,360
just imagine.

75
00:04:02,639 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 4: So your final flight was after that hole shutdown or

76
00:04:07,719 --> 00:04:09,479
did you actually make it back before?

77
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:13,879
Speaker 1: I don't know, there was too many flights.

78
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 11: Okay, where was Oh god, was it one of those

79
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:21,639
you know, where what's the like?

80
00:04:21,639 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 4: What what's the what is it?

81
00:04:22,519 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 11: Where Carmen San Diego or something? Where in the universes

82
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,720
was that for you? Mercedes? Like where in the universe

83
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:28,399
is Mercedes?

84
00:04:28,439 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 12: Now?

85
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 4: Kind of we were going to start we were going

86
00:04:32,079 --> 00:04:35,279
to start playing which airline did Mercedes corrupt and bankrupt

87
00:04:35,319 --> 00:04:43,079
this time? Well, welcome back. And since you're back, and

88
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,519
while we have you before you disappear again, why don't

89
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,519
you go first with your road tripping sock?

90
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,079
Speaker 1: Eh, you're afraid I'm going to run away again.

91
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,399
Speaker 4: We never know where you're going to be, where you're going,

92
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:54,879
and we don't know if you're.

93
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 5: Going to be able to come back.

94
00:04:56,519 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: It's true. Thank you, Brian. So I picked a song

95
00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:02,759
for today because I love it so much and it

96
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:07,040
fits the topic. The title is Late Speed Getaway. It

97
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,199
is by a local Brooklyn bandon There is almost nothing

98
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,879
online about them, so I was really nervous about how

99
00:05:12,959 --> 00:05:16,120
I was going to talk about them but actually end

100
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,519
up having plenty Neil and missus. Neil have seen them

101
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:21,920
with me pretty often.

102
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 6: Quite a few times.

103
00:05:23,319 --> 00:05:26,079
Speaker 1: Yes, Yeah, I'm not even sure how we found them.

104
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 6: I think they were opening for somebody else and yeah,

105
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,839
and they came on first and we were like, whoa, it.

106
00:05:36,759 --> 00:05:42,959
Speaker 1: Was love at first sight. They are on sabbatical or

107
00:05:43,079 --> 00:05:45,959
something for now. Some of the members live in a

108
00:05:45,959 --> 00:05:54,040
different state. The band is comprised of Brian Dudavich Nope,

109
00:05:54,639 --> 00:06:02,120
couldn't do it, Brian do da Lovitch to Leubvitch. I

110
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:03,920
finally nailed it, Brian, I mean.

111
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 6: Neil, I'm letting you go with that one. Yeah.

112
00:06:09,079 --> 00:06:12,519
Speaker 1: We had him on my podcast and we couldn't. We

113
00:06:12,759 --> 00:06:14,600
just made him say it every time we were talking

114
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:21,639
about him. He's on vocals and guitar, and Bobby Sprolls,

115
00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:25,120
who's on bass guitar, along with Brian's younger brother Mike

116
00:06:25,319 --> 00:06:30,759
on guitar and vocals, and Kevin Blatchford on drums and

117
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:36,360
Brianna Leyon on vocal, percussion and guitar. It said in

118
00:06:36,399 --> 00:06:38,480
this article I was reading, although I don't think I've

119
00:06:38,519 --> 00:06:39,800
ever seen her play guitar.

120
00:06:39,879 --> 00:06:42,199
Speaker 6: But she's the secret secret weapon.

121
00:06:42,439 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: She's the secret weapon, absolutely so. Brian, Bobby, and Mike

122
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,360
were all friends in high school in DC, and later

123
00:06:49,439 --> 00:06:53,480
they relocated to Brooklyn, I met Kevin and Brianna. Mike,

124
00:06:53,519 --> 00:06:56,519
who is sort of the spokesperson of the band, said

125
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:01,839
his influences are the who Arim, The Car Nirvana, Alison Chains.

126
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,439
He said hearing Black Sabbath for the first time made

127
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,439
him feel like he had to play guitar. He said,

128
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,439
after I started playing early in high school. The rabbit

129
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,600
hole of inspiring rock and roll is kept on going.

130
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:20,639
The Dotson's, the Dictators, the Helicopters, Alice Cooper and the

131
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:25,360
New York Dells, Hanoi Rocks, etc. He describes the live

132
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,639
shows of the Nuclears like this, At a Nuclear's show,

133
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:35,439
expect a ton of energy, lots of times bordering. Yeah,

134
00:07:35,839 --> 00:07:41,079
lots of times bordering on out of control, sometimes not

135
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,439
just bordering. Three of us take lead vocals and we

136
00:07:44,519 --> 00:07:48,800
give a damn damn about strong song hooks. Brian and

137
00:07:48,839 --> 00:07:51,920
I try to melt your faces off with dueling guitar leads,

138
00:07:51,959 --> 00:07:56,600
which they do when the cylinders are all firing. There's

139
00:07:56,639 --> 00:07:58,959
a lot of band chemistry on stage, and it ought

140
00:07:58,959 --> 00:08:01,399
to be evident from the they were having a great

141
00:08:01,639 --> 00:08:04,920
effing time and trying to be contagious with it. And

142
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:10,000
that's the best description I can possibly imagine of them.

143
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,519
So here's a couple of descriptions from magazines. Deli Magazine

144
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,399
said the Nuclears might sound like some unearthed garagee gold

145
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,279
from your latest crate digging escapades, but the five piece

146
00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:24,639
have only been tearing up the New York city scene

147
00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:27,639
for not even a decade. The band plays raw rock

148
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,759
and roll the way your daddy used to like, with

149
00:08:29,879 --> 00:08:32,759
all the electricity of old school punk acts, and they

150
00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:36,440
even dabble in dirty rockabilly for the discerning punk purist.

151
00:08:36,639 --> 00:08:43,480
I'm sorry, rock purist. Horizons Music said the Nuclears are

152
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,919
a twin guitar party rock and roll band based out

153
00:08:46,919 --> 00:08:51,240
of Brooklyn, New York. Then Nuclears showcase a sonic range

154
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:56,879
from high energy protopunk to seventies glitter rock to kinks Ian.

155
00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:00,879
Neil and I struggled with it. I was like, what's

156
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:07,399
kinks Ian? Kinksian? You think? I mean it's capital that

157
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,840
ian is capitalized, so it makes me wonder. But anyway,

158
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,759
to Kink's Kinksian Power pup to riff driven heavy metal

159
00:09:16,879 --> 00:09:21,480
released in association with Spider Bite Records. Yet a name

160
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,200
like the Nuclears raises some high expect expectations, and this

161
00:09:25,279 --> 00:09:27,720
raunchy little number lives up to the name that was

162
00:09:27,759 --> 00:09:31,039
about another song. So anyway, let's play the song that

163
00:09:31,039 --> 00:09:31,720
we came.

164
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 13: Here to listen to now.

165
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 14: It was.

166
00:09:55,519 --> 00:10:08,919
Speaker 15: Girls Were I Wait to go Back, Streaking Ways, A

167
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,039

183
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: Yes, I cannot tell you how much I love this band.

184
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 4: You know what the vibe if you stripped it down

185
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,600
to a little more innocent, it's almost like a partish family.

186
00:13:18,399 --> 00:13:25,759
Speaker 1: Songd Oh lord, please please don't tell them that I.

187
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:30,039
Speaker 11: Gotta say road trip songs. I kind of measure by

188
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,159
two metrics. Is one, of course, is your ability to

189
00:13:34,799 --> 00:13:36,960
play along on your steering wheel, you know, whether it's

190
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,519
your steering wheel becomes the drums, becomes the guitar, it

191
00:13:39,639 --> 00:13:44,080
becomes whatever, you know. And the other is the contemplative

192
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,879
kind of a road trip song where you sit there

193
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,399
behind a steering wheel with your hand on your chin

194
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:55,399
as you're driving, just contemplating, you know, the mood that

195
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,679
the song creates. Those are the two of my And

196
00:13:57,759 --> 00:13:59,480
then there's the rock ones where you're just throwing your

197
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:00,159
fist in there.

198
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:00,799
Speaker 6: Yeah.

199
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,039
Speaker 1: So, and you're bringing this up because where does this fall?

200
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 5: The thing the steer wheel, steering wheel tapping kind of

201
00:14:08,639 --> 00:14:10,080
oh okay good, yes.

202
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,879
Speaker 6: You know, yeah the drum drumming. Drumming on the steering

203
00:14:13,919 --> 00:14:16,159
wheel is one thing, but don't use the gas and

204
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,799
the break as you're based on pedal. Yeah, that could

205
00:14:20,879 --> 00:14:21,720
cause problems.

206
00:14:21,879 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, I would think probably true, but yeah, no,

207
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,919
this was definitely a steering wheel tapping. You know, it

208
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,279
becomes the drums, it becomes the piano, It just kind

209
00:14:30,279 --> 00:14:32,440
of becomes every instrument in the band.

210
00:14:32,519 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 5: There you know, yeah, a lot of fun.

211
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love them so much. Brianna, who's the lead singer,

212
00:14:38,679 --> 00:14:43,440
she kills it every time. I mean she goes one

213
00:14:43,559 --> 00:14:47,200
hundred and twenty five percent. It's just like it's wild

214
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:52,200
to watch her and the guitars. I mean, it blows

215
00:14:52,279 --> 00:14:57,080
me away every single time. The drummer and Neil will

216
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,600
vouch for this. He just he just wrecks me. This guy,

217
00:15:02,399 --> 00:15:06,279
he's such a good drummer, and all of them are

218
00:15:06,399 --> 00:15:10,320
just all in when they play. The drummer has a

219
00:15:10,559 --> 00:15:13,480
smile on his face from ear to ear that does

220
00:15:13,759 --> 00:15:14,600
not stop.

221
00:15:17,279 --> 00:15:19,679
Speaker 6: There's a phrase for it. Then, I'll just say it's

222
00:15:19,759 --> 00:15:25,600
a eating grin, you know, Okay, yeah, yes, yeah.

223
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: And he's so cute. It's just it's absolutely it's a

224
00:15:29,919 --> 00:15:34,960
fantastic experience to see them. So this is from BTR today.

225
00:15:35,159 --> 00:15:40,879
At first, Wash Brooklyn's Nuclear seem like entertaining lunkheads, which

226
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,840
is like what you were saying. Neil Sime's Connection, the

227
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:50,240
first track track on their debut album Seasides, works up

228
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,759
a good old fashioned sleeze rock head of steam with

229
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:58,600
legs planted wide and sneering attitude up front. Midpoint bout

230
00:15:58,679 --> 00:16:01,960
of the Queen, which is another song follows suit with

231
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:09,039
even heavier results and slash run Metals. It's metalis medles

232
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:15,039
its way into a cover of Kiss Strutter, So nice,

233
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,320
sald I'm a hundred percent sold as it happens, though

234
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:24,080
that's the only one arrow in the quintets quiver Steer

235
00:16:24,159 --> 00:16:26,840
You Wrong and small Talk lighting up the hard rock

236
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,240
and fit more in a rough hewn power pop box,

237
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:34,960
while flatt and Nasty goes glamtastic and I Just want

238
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,120
to Have Nothing to do adds and adds in girl

239
00:16:38,159 --> 00:16:43,200
group dynamics for an even poppier experience. Mystery slinger and

240
00:16:43,559 --> 00:16:46,600
make the first move, add bits of one style to

241
00:16:46,759 --> 00:16:50,799
the other. Check out the muscular harmony guitar solo on

242
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:55,559
the otherwise, evervescent move and push the band toward a

243
00:16:55,679 --> 00:17:00,159
distinctive personality of its own with well crafted songs, a

244
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,679
clear love of anything with the guitar and it the

245
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:09,319
nuclears s two, lunk headedness and stop towards a bright future.

246
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,880
So I had message to Mike asking for information on

247
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,359
the song, which I did this morning.

248
00:17:19,079 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 4: And yes, musicians are famously known for being up right

249
00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:22,480
and early.

250
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, So he actually messaged he said,

251
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,279
I gotcha, I'm going to write back. Let me just

252
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,599
give it a minute to think, and he messaged me

253
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,440
back like right before the show. So I'm reading this

254
00:17:36,759 --> 00:17:40,119
as it's written off the top of my head. Music

255
00:17:40,279 --> 00:17:42,839
was brought to the band by Brian. I wrote lyrics,

256
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:47,000
primarily used to medley it with how Many More Times

257
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,759
by Led Zeppelin, So I think that's pretty cool. Inspired

258
00:17:50,839 --> 00:17:54,559
originally by old glam like Slade and new glam like

259
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:59,200
Hammered Satin Cream. Circus bass solo was written by Brian.

260
00:17:59,319 --> 00:18:04,039
It features a buried guitar track with heavy vibrato applied

261
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,000
under the bass to give it definition. Brian, you could

262
00:18:07,079 --> 00:18:12,799
explain that recorded by David Pattillo on the corner of

263
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,519
Rubington and Allen Streets in New York City. Now I

264
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,440
have to ask him if they were standing on the

265
00:18:17,599 --> 00:18:25,480
street record it's I hate it out, really, Brian, can

266
00:18:25,519 --> 00:18:26,279
you explain.

267
00:18:26,039 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 19: That to us?

268
00:18:27,079 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 4: Vibrato is make the pitch go up and down to

269
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:35,119
give it a little little color. You'll see like violinists

270
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,839
when they're playing, you see them shake their hands their

271
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,480
left hand a little bit. That's vibrato. So on a

272
00:18:39,519 --> 00:18:41,759
guitar and a fretted instrument. Instead of back and forth,

273
00:18:41,839 --> 00:18:44,160
you kind of have to go up and down perpendicular

274
00:18:44,279 --> 00:18:45,599
to the to the fret.

275
00:18:46,599 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: But so, how is that a buried guitar track.

276
00:18:51,559 --> 00:18:55,279
Speaker 4: Bass it's played? I'm assuming what they meant is it's

277
00:18:55,279 --> 00:18:57,240
a much lower volume. The bass is out front, and

278
00:18:57,319 --> 00:19:00,480
then underneath the guitars are just adding to it underneath,

279
00:19:00,519 --> 00:19:04,160
probably doubled. Probably played the same thing an octave apart,

280
00:19:04,279 --> 00:19:04,839
I'm guessing.

281
00:19:06,039 --> 00:19:09,839
Speaker 1: So I ended the conversation with and I can end

282
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,720
my section on the show today about how you all

283
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:18,440
are playing again soon, and he said, well, that's that's

284
00:19:18,559 --> 00:19:22,640
one way to manifest it. So we'll have to see.

285
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,559
But if you ever get a chance, all.

286
00:19:25,519 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 4: Right, we're gonna hop in our version of the Partrier's

287
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:34,799
Family bus and we'll all go down John's driving, Okay,

288
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:37,839
no problem.

289
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 5: That was good, Mercedes. That was definitely a steering wheel tapper.

290
00:19:41,559 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 4: Absolutely very catchy.

291
00:19:43,839 --> 00:19:44,279
Speaker 8: I like that.

292
00:19:44,759 --> 00:19:48,759
Speaker 11: All right, John, it was your topic, so you go next, Okay, Yeah,

293
00:19:48,799 --> 00:19:51,119
well I kind of thought of this topic. We're getting

294
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,240
into the summer season, this late spring summer season, everybody's

295
00:19:54,279 --> 00:19:56,920
going to be hitting the road, hopefully doing road trips

296
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,680
and going out and enjoying this grand country of ours.

297
00:20:00,279 --> 00:20:03,200
So I this seemed to be the perfect topic, you know,

298
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,200
And as I say it, when I was talking about

299
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,799
Mercedes Choice, there are so many ways. Is it a fingernail,

300
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,480
is it a steering wheel tapper? Is it a kind

301
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,640
of a moody contemplative you know? Or is it like

302
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,599
a fist in the air kind of song when you're

303
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,559
driving down a long highway, not in traffic, because that

304
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:26,160
just changes the whole dynamic. But you know, but my

305
00:20:26,319 --> 00:20:28,799
selection for tonight is a bit of a moody one.

306
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 5: Actually, but I like it.

307
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 11: It's it's because it's got a kind of a an

308
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,920
interesting backstory. And of course, surprise surprise, I picked that

309
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:41,640
band named for a farm implement, jeth Rotul. No surprise

310
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,680
to anyone out there, I'm sure who's listened to this show,

311
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,799
And particularly from their nineteen eighty seven album Crest of

312
00:20:48,839 --> 00:20:53,000
a Knave. I picked Budapest the song in particular. At first,

313
00:20:53,039 --> 00:20:55,000
I was you think it's hot night in Budapest, but

314
00:20:55,039 --> 00:20:59,799
it's actually Budapest, And what is that song about it?

315
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,200
It's basically an autobiographical track inspired by the band's real

316
00:21:04,279 --> 00:21:07,519
life touring experience. And again, this is one of those

317
00:21:07,599 --> 00:21:10,599
things where you hear the song and you don't even

318
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,279
realize the story behind it.

319
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 5: It's just got a cool kind of a beat to it.

320
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,400
It's got a cool vibe to it.

321
00:21:16,519 --> 00:21:20,079
Speaker 11: It's when it's when when the song opens up, it

322
00:21:20,279 --> 00:21:23,599
has kind of like a long kind of I don't

323
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,480
know the tone I'm looking for. Brian, you're better with

324
00:21:25,559 --> 00:21:28,480
these things than I am. But it's it's it's got

325
00:21:28,599 --> 00:21:30,960
this kind of long base to what I guess or whatever.

326
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,720
And then it's kind of synonymous with me with a

327
00:21:33,839 --> 00:21:36,240
long highway with a little bit of traffic, not not

328
00:21:36,319 --> 00:21:38,799
a lot of traffic, and it just makes you contemplate life.

329
00:21:39,279 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 5: These guys were talking about a logistical.

330
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 11: Reality of playing in a hastily prepared venue and like

331
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:52,960
an old gymnasium, and the uh which was hot and uncomfortable,

332
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,519
and uh hence the reason. And it was in Budapest,

333
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,759
hence the reason for a hot night in Budapest. And

334
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:05,279
the lady on the song was like a stage hand

335
00:22:05,319 --> 00:22:10,319
of some sorts. And I guess Ian Anderson, who created

336
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,960
this song, was hallucinating about her. And it turns she

337
00:22:14,079 --> 00:22:16,160
was very athletic and It turns out she was athletic

338
00:22:16,279 --> 00:22:18,359
because she actually was training to.

339
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,039
Speaker 4: Be on the Hungarian Olympic team.

340
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,799
Speaker 11: You know, so she was so I guess he was

341
00:22:23,839 --> 00:22:28,400
hallucinating about her, and he created this whole backstory about

342
00:22:28,799 --> 00:22:32,119
this beautiful woman he met on a hot night in Budapest.

343
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,200
And really it was just a hastily prepared venue. They

344
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,000
were in cramped quarters behind the stage and it was uncomfortable,

345
00:22:40,599 --> 00:22:44,119
and they created this song about that whole experience. So

346
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,119
without further ado, let's play Budapest by Jeff ro Tumban.

347
00:23:08,759 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 12: I think she was a little distance runner translation wasn't clear,

348
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,880
could be a buddy in stately Ero.

349
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,079
Speaker 9: International competition in the year.

350
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 20: She was a good enough reason for a party. Well

351
00:23:33,279 --> 00:23:38,640
you couldn't keep up on her trackpile, but.

352
00:23:38,799 --> 00:23:40,799
Speaker 4: She ran up perfect circle.

353
00:23:43,279 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 9: And she wore a perfeg smile.

354
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:50,519
Speaker 20: In Buda Pets.

355
00:23:53,160 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 9: Ancient d we had a cousin her and the whole us.

356
00:24:02,759 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 21: Dusting off Amanda Lens and checking on the there she

357
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:14,480
was helping out on the backstage, stopping hearts.

358
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:15,279
Speaker 9: And chilling deer.

359
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 12: Yes and a Lens went on forever.

360
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 4: Like staring up and Divinity.

361
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:32,799
Speaker 9: Throwing the dot empty, a.

362
00:24:32,839 --> 00:24:38,759
Speaker 12: Lot of skin and sentence, night.

363
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,079
Speaker 2: Too depends.

364
00:24:49,839 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 12: You cut the heats, feel it back with the wrong

365
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:54,680
side of a nie.

366
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 2: He blombing from the side bills.

367
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 12: Lady, you were playing for your life.

368
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 4: You're not the money.

369
00:25:14,839 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 14: She went down on the level of the iron horse.

370
00:25:19,599 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 9: She's got some more wild like wine in.

371
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 14: Act, the giant.

372
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 2: Wearing on a T shirt and some skills.

373
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 9: You know, it's the bold just and mussels. But advise

374
00:25:40,039 --> 00:25:42,039
and there you were lass.

375
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 18: So acted, you d f.

376
00:25:49,240 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 9: And a nietic preface. What's okay?

377
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:34,799
Speaker 5: That was Budapest.

378
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 11: But I just throttell from their Crest of the Nave

379
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,559
album released in nineteen eighty seven. This was recorded, I

380
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:41,599
believe in eighty six.

381
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 4: So paint the picture.

382
00:26:43,279 --> 00:26:45,839
Speaker 11: There they're doing sound checks, getting ready for a show

383
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:53,119
backstage at a sweltering venue in Budapest, Hungary, and they

384
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:57,200
are at a hastily prepared it's not a nice theater

385
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,759
or anything like that. And they're in the backstage there

386
00:27:00,079 --> 00:27:03,960
and there's this stage hand who catches Ian Anderson's eye

387
00:27:04,319 --> 00:27:07,119
and he creates a whole story around her. She was

388
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,279
a middle distance runner, to quote the song for the

389
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,480
Hungarian Olympic team and as we were saying earlier, I

390
00:27:12,559 --> 00:27:15,240
wonder if she knows this song was written about her.

391
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,400
Now how now getting back to the theme of road

392
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:22,160
trippin' songs, this is kind of one of those moody,

393
00:27:22,599 --> 00:27:25,400
kind of long road I kind of imagine a hand

394
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,599
on the steering wheel, you got no traffic in front

395
00:27:28,599 --> 00:27:31,559
of you, and you just cruising along, and you've got

396
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,880
the acoustics of this song kind of playing off the stereo,

397
00:27:35,519 --> 00:27:38,000
and it kind of gets that from me. It gets

398
00:27:38,079 --> 00:27:42,960
that kind of that kind of low key vibe, kind

399
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,240
of like late at night on the highway.

400
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 5: So hope you all enjoyed Budapest by Jeth wrote, Oh.

401
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,279
Speaker 4: Did she win at the Olympics? Did you mention that?

402
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:53,519
Did I miss that?

403
00:27:55,319 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 19: Did?

404
00:27:55,599 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 2: I have no idea?

405
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:57,839
Speaker 4: You know, it's one thing I have not searched.

406
00:27:57,839 --> 00:28:01,079
Speaker 5: Maybe everybody, anybody out there in radio land can can google.

407
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:02,039
Speaker 4: Well, now I want to know.

408
00:28:03,599 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 5: Well, I will have to do a search and if

409
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,920
you don't mind, at some point in the show, I can.

410
00:28:08,079 --> 00:28:11,039
Speaker 4: Come back if you find that pop in because okay,

411
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,839
you've peaked my curiosity. Okay, all right, you all enjoy

412
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,680
good one YEP. An important part of road Trips is

413
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,079
taking a break so you can remain an alert driver.

414
00:28:21,279 --> 00:28:23,640
So we're gonna pull over for a little bit. Go pee,

415
00:28:23,799 --> 00:28:27,440
guess up, get yourself a coffee, and we'll be back

416
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,000

423
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 6: All right? And so my road trip highway song that

424
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:08,759
I've chosen for today possibly considered the quintessential road trip song.

425
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:13,720
It's Radar Love by Golden ear Ring Now. Golden Earring

426
00:29:14,119 --> 00:29:18,319
was a Dutch rock band that some may remember from

427
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,880
the nineteen eighties with their song twilight Zone. Some older

428
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:27,400
folks like myself know them from the seventies by the

429
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,799
song we're featuring today Our Love, But did you know

430
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:37,400
they were actually around way before that. Originally called The Tornadoes,

431
00:29:37,559 --> 00:29:42,880
the band actually founded in nineteen sixty one, that's sixty one.

432
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,240
The name was changed to the Golden ear Rings when

433
00:29:48,279 --> 00:29:51,960
they discovered that the name The Tornadoes was already being

434
00:29:52,119 --> 00:29:54,799
used by another group, and that would be the Joe

435
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:59,160
Meeks produced band of Telstar fame. So they took the

436
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:03,039
name The Golden Earrings from an instrumental song by a

437
00:30:03,079 --> 00:30:06,839
British group called The Hunters, who they frequently played with

438
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:11,720
as an opening act. Now the was removed from the

439
00:30:11,839 --> 00:30:16,559
name in nineteen sixty seven and the plural s was

440
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,640
dropped for our show recently No, it was dropped back

441
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:25,119
in nineteen nineteen sixty nine. Now, after a number of

442
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:29,640
early personnel changes, a stable lineup was assembled in nineteen

443
00:30:29,839 --> 00:30:35,599
seventy and that consisted of George Cooyman's on vocals and guitar,

444
00:30:37,039 --> 00:30:42,079
Rhinus Garretson on bass and keyboards, Barry Hay on vocals, guitar,

445
00:30:42,279 --> 00:30:49,000
flute and saxophone, and Caesar Zuaiderwick on Joe better You

446
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:57,200
than Me? I apologize my Dutches isn't what it used

447
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,480
to be. I think it's getting me in Dutch anyway.

448
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,519
With the exception of a few other musicians appearing for

449
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,319
brief stints over the band's career, this lineup would remain

450
00:31:08,519 --> 00:31:16,119
unchanged until twenty twenty one. Wow Wow several other songs

451
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,920
famous songs of that era the early mid seventies, like

452
00:31:20,359 --> 00:31:23,759
Stairway to Heaven by led Zeppelin, Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen,

453
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:29,440
and just about any song by Yes. Radar Love consists

454
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:34,359
of several distinctly different musical parts, or a suite if

455
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,880
you will, and it's suite not sweet, and.

456
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 7: It makes me drive very fast if I hear it.

457
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 6: Okay, well, that was a style that was quite popular

458
00:31:44,519 --> 00:31:48,359
at the time. Now. The song itself is written from

459
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,920
the point of view of a man who claims to

460
00:31:51,079 --> 00:31:54,000
have some kind of psychic connection with his girirl friend,

461
00:31:54,799 --> 00:31:58,319
who apparently is some great distance away, and he senses

462
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,359
that she urgently wants him to be with her, so

463
00:32:02,559 --> 00:32:05,079
he jumps in his car drives off as fast as

464
00:32:05,119 --> 00:32:08,039
he can to meet his radar Love.

465
00:32:36,319 --> 00:32:37,279
Speaker 2: I've been driving all.

466
00:32:37,279 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 4: That man's went on the wheel. There's a voice in

467
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,400
my head that drives my heatther.

468
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 8: It's my baby callings that I need here, and that's

469
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,200
a half passbord.

470
00:32:52,279 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 4: I'm shifting gear here.

471
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,559
Speaker 14: When she is only as long as.

472
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 8: She says the king I'm coming here from.

473
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:15,319
Speaker 14: Don't need am We've gotta say away in the.

Speaker 9: Things have forgotten song really coming on storm.

Speaker 6: Okay, that red light you see behind you? You bed

498
00:38:11,559 --> 00:38:14,840
pull over the cops of going. The album you were

499
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,559
Speed and listen to that song anyway right. Our Love

500
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,039
was an international hit in nineteen seventy three. It went

501
00:38:22,119 --> 00:38:25,159
to number one on the Dutch charts, reached the top

502
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,679
ten in the UK, and peaked at number thirteen here

503
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:33,679
in the United States. It was from their ninth studio

504
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:38,679
album called Moontan, which was certified gold and overall, Golden

505
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:43,440
Earring released twenty five studio albums and had nearly thirty

506
00:38:44,159 --> 00:38:48,800
top ten singles on the Dutch charts. Now, between nineteen

507
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:54,360
sixty nine and nineteen eighty four, Golden Earring would embark

508
00:38:54,519 --> 00:38:58,360
on no less than thirteen tours of the United States

509
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,599
in nineteen seventy three. In nineteen seventy four, when Radar

510
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:07,599
Love was on the charts charts, they actually had Kiss

511
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:14,320
and Aerosmith as opening acts for them. Oh right, wow wow.

512
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,920
Now of course that didn't last long, but you know,

513
00:39:18,119 --> 00:39:23,400
still think about it. But also around this time they

514
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:27,039
played as an opening act for the likes of the

515
00:39:27,119 --> 00:39:31,559
band King Crimson and The Who. Now, how do I

516
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:40,039
know this? Can I guess anybody there Winter Winter Chicken Dinner.

517
00:39:40,159 --> 00:39:43,960
You are correct, that's right, because I saw them open

518
00:39:44,039 --> 00:39:48,360
for King Crimson in New York Central Park the I

519
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:52,039
guess it was the Shaeffer Music Festival they had there.

520
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 1: Every summer dollar tickets or something exactly.

521
00:39:56,519 --> 00:39:58,599
Speaker 6: That was in nineteen seventy three. And I saw them

522
00:39:58,679 --> 00:40:01,880
open for The Who in nineteen teen seventy four at

523
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:06,000
Madison Square Garden and no, there were no Canadians. Brian

524
00:40:06,119 --> 00:40:08,840
but there was There was a guy on drums named

525
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:10,639
Keith Moon, so there is that.

526
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,079
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, there may have been Canadians there.

527
00:40:14,159 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 6: They just behaved, they knew they knew better.

528
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:18,199
Speaker 4: Yeah.

529
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,639
Speaker 6: Now, to be perfectly honest, you know, I was there

530
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:23,960
to see in both cases, to see the main acts.

531
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,159
I wanted to see King Crimson, and of course I

532
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,559
wanted to see the who. So I really didn't take

533
00:40:29,599 --> 00:40:33,800
the Golden earring at first. But one thing I do remember,

534
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:38,119
and rather vividly too. It's that during the crescendo at

535
00:40:38,159 --> 00:40:42,320
the end of Radar Love there a flash pot would

536
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,280
explode behind the drummer and he was on some like

537
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,480
kind of little springboard and it would go off and

538
00:40:48,559 --> 00:40:51,760
he would leap over the drum kit and land out

539
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,559
in front of the drums right as the song ended,

540
00:40:54,639 --> 00:40:55,000
and it was.

541
00:40:55,039 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 10: Like, did you all hold up your scorecards?

542
00:40:59,159 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 6: It was pretty crazy. There's actually videos of this on YouTube,

543
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,159
not from the shows I was at, but when they

544
00:41:05,199 --> 00:41:09,800
were on you know, television appearances like Don Kirshner's Rock

545
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:11,840
Concert in Midnight special and stuff.

546
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:15,679
Speaker 4: They Actually I wonder if he trained with the runner

547
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:17,760
from Budapest, I know, you know.

548
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:22,760
Speaker 6: That really maybe maybe maybe that's where she ended up

549
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:28,840
as a yeah, and it is possible. Yeah. Now, needless

550
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,119
to say, I've warmed up to the band and the

551
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,639
song since then, you know. Now, Yeah, I really do

552
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,519
like it and now Golden earing. They eventually called it

553
00:41:38,679 --> 00:41:42,039
quits in twenty twenty one when it was announced that

554
00:41:42,199 --> 00:41:47,480
the singer, George Coyman's was diagnosed with ALS, and sadly,

555
00:41:47,559 --> 00:41:51,360
Coleymanist died. He died last year, twenty twenty five, at

556
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,760
the age of seventy seven, but as of this taping,

557
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,719
all the other members are still alive and well. In fact,

558
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:02,519
they reunited for a Feuture tribute concerts earlier this year,

559
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:08,159
with the proceeds being donated to ALS research. Now. The

560
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:12,800
song Radar Love was featured in several films, including Wayne's

561
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:16,239
World two back in nineteen ninety three and Detroit Rock

562
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:21,320
City in nineteen ninety nine, and finally, the British motoring

563
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:26,119
magazine top Gear included it in its Greatest driving Songs

564
00:42:26,199 --> 00:42:31,280
list back in two thousand and five. Nice, So there

565
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:31,559
it is.

566
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,320
Speaker 4: Can I add one more? Use that? One more place?

567
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,119
Speaker 6: It was used absolutely, I know you're wondering.

568
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was used on The Simpsons I Know Lord,

569
00:42:42,159 --> 00:42:46,840
nineteen ninety six. The episode officially titled Bart on the Road,

570
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:51,480
everybody knows it better as the wig Sphere episode, so

571
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,320
real quick synopsis. Bart gets a fake driver's license and

572
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,400
winds up renting a car as a fourth grader and

573
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,639
his friends go on a road trip and they find

574
00:43:01,679 --> 00:43:03,920
a pamphlet in the glove compartment for the World's Fair

575
00:43:04,039 --> 00:43:07,800
in Knoxville, Tennessee, not realizing that the World's Fair happened

576
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:11,719
in nineteen eighty two. But in nineteen eighty two they

577
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,360
built the sun Sphere, which is still there, which you know,

578
00:43:14,679 --> 00:43:17,559
I haven't seen up close, but I've driven past Knoxville

579
00:43:17,599 --> 00:43:19,480
a million times and taking pictures of it and sent

580
00:43:19,559 --> 00:43:23,199
it all my fellow Simpsons fans the Wigsphere, so everybody

581
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,440
in the show it's the Wigsphere. Sixteen thousand boxes of

582
00:43:27,559 --> 00:43:30,440
unsold wigs are stored in the in the whigs Sphere,

583
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:35,760
so they use radar love as part of their road

584
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,840
trip to get down there. And the Wigsphere episode got

585
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,599
so popular they actually have a Simpsons exhibit in the

586
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,960
actual sun Sphere because so many people know it is

587
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:46,639
the Whigsphere.

588
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,800
Speaker 6: But wait a minute, he he had a fake driver's let.

589
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,280
He had fake ID and he used it to actually

590
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:58,159
drive to the w World's Uh huh. I had a

591
00:43:58,199 --> 00:44:00,280
fake ID, but I used it to buy boot.

592
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 4: All I could say.

593
00:44:07,119 --> 00:44:10,599
Speaker 5: We were saying before, well, the song was playing. This

594
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:12,679
is a this is a real toe tapper, and as

595
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,039
a as a road song, you gotta be careful about that.

596
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,480
You know, you don't want to tap the wrong pedal there,

597
00:44:17,519 --> 00:44:19,400
you know, no, no, no, no.

598
00:44:19,519 --> 00:44:24,039
Speaker 6: Booze, no, no tapping wrong picture, you know, yeah, speed limit,

599
00:44:25,159 --> 00:44:27,960
it's good, you'll get there. Yeah.

600
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,519
Speaker 1: We just had one more thing about that song. It's

601
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:34,000
impossible to dance too. And I can tell you why.

602
00:44:34,079 --> 00:44:37,599
I know because I was coming home with a from

603
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,119
a club with a friend of mine in New Jersey.

604
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,280
We were probably in high school or something like that,

605
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:48,760
and that song came on and I said, you gotta

606
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:52,800
pull over, and we both jumped out of the car

607
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,000
and started dancing on the side of the road. And

608
00:44:55,079 --> 00:44:58,000
we were both big dancers, and we looked at each

609
00:44:58,039 --> 00:45:00,920
other and went, I can't dance to.

610
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 6: This because it has different It does have different parts

611
00:45:05,079 --> 00:45:08,000
to different dances within the context.

612
00:45:08,199 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 4: It's like rocking back and forth, sway tapping, kind of song.

613
00:45:12,159 --> 00:45:14,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's very difficult to dance.

614
00:45:15,039 --> 00:45:15,639
Speaker 4: I can see that.

615
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,079
Speaker 6: I would just lean against the wall with a beer

616
00:45:18,159 --> 00:45:19,840
in one hand, a cigarette and the other with my

617
00:45:20,199 --> 00:45:22,679
kind of leg propped up and just nod my head.

618
00:45:23,199 --> 00:45:23,679
Speaker 12: There you go.

619
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was that's how I danced.

620
00:45:26,039 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 1: Now we were driving, so that's really stand out.

621
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 6: Nope, nope, idea.

622
00:45:36,159 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 4: All right, well, thank you Neil. That is definitely a

623
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:41,480
good one. Uh, Barbara like we're up to you.

624
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 19: All right.

625
00:45:43,079 --> 00:45:46,280
Speaker 10: Well, the song I chose is I Can't Drive fifty

626
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,639
five by Sammy Hagar, And I gotta tell you the

627
00:45:49,679 --> 00:45:52,599
reason I picked it. It's because my husband's favorite song

628
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,320
and when he heard about the topic, he requested that

629
00:45:56,519 --> 00:45:57,760
I do this, So I'm doing it.

630
00:45:58,800 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 6: So.

631
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 10: Samuel Hagar was born in California October thirteenth, nineteen forty seven,

632
00:46:05,039 --> 00:46:07,760
and he developed an interest in music as a teen

633
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,920
purchased his first guitar from the Sears catalog.

634
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 6: Oh Yeah.

635
00:46:14,559 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 10: He began playing in local bands throughout southern California and

636
00:46:19,119 --> 00:46:22,000
got his big break when he joined the band Montrose

637
00:46:22,079 --> 00:46:25,920
in nineteen seventy three as lead vocalist. He wrote and

638
00:46:26,119 --> 00:46:30,039
sang one of their signature songs called Bad Motor Scooter.

639
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:34,119
He left Montrose in nineteen seventy five to pursue a

640
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:38,320
solo career, which steadily became successful throughout the late nineteen

641
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:42,000
seventies and early nineteen eighties. He became known for his

642
00:46:42,159 --> 00:46:45,639
song I Can't Drive fifty five, released in nineteen eighty four,

643
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:49,519
which was inspired by the Nationwides. He did, might talk

644
00:46:49,519 --> 00:46:52,239
about that a little bit later on, but for now, let's.

645
00:46:52,079 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 7: Pull over for a bit and listen.

646
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:15,559

00:50:43,039 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 10: So speaking or pulling over? I can't Drive fifty five

664
00:50:46,679 --> 00:50:49,840
was written by Hagar after being ticketed in Upstate New York.

665
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:54,159
We're driving sixty two miles per hour and a fifty

666
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:55,000
five zone.

667
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 4: Not a chance, not a chance, he is so full

668
00:50:59,039 --> 00:50:59,199
of it.

669
00:51:00,639 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 6: Oh how far upstate was?

670
00:51:02,519 --> 00:51:02,639
Speaker 9: Was it?

671
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:03,800
Speaker 6: Stony Point, New York?

672
00:51:05,039 --> 00:51:05,159
Speaker 18: Oh?

673
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:07,119
Speaker 7: You mean where everybody drives thirty?

674
00:51:07,559 --> 00:51:13,039
Speaker 10: Uh. The incident channeled his frustration, which with the imposed

675
00:51:13,119 --> 00:51:17,840
limit introduced in nineteen seventy four to conserve fuel. Does

676
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:21,519
anyone remember the energy crisis from that time?

677
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:21,920
Speaker 13: Oh?

678
00:51:22,079 --> 00:51:26,159
Speaker 10: Yeah, okay, Well to refresh your memory and our listener's memory.

679
00:51:27,039 --> 00:51:31,920
The energy crisis was triggered by an OPEK, or organization

680
00:51:32,519 --> 00:51:39,440
of the petroleum exporting countries embargo against nations supporting Israel

681
00:51:39,519 --> 00:51:42,599
in the Young Kipper War between Israel and a coalition

682
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:46,519
of Arab states, causing a dramatic increase in oil prices,

683
00:51:46,679 --> 00:51:52,519
resulting in gas shortages and rationing, leaving long lines at

684
00:51:52,639 --> 00:51:53,400
gas stations.

685
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 1: I remember waiting in some of those lines.

686
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 6: Yes, I'm that old, the with the odd and even.

687
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:02,159
Speaker 9: License way up.

688
00:52:04,559 --> 00:52:04,599
Speaker 6: So.

689
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 10: Hagar is reported to have written the lyrics immediately after

690
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:12,679
returning to his hotel following the ticketing incident, when the

691
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:17,039
rage was fresh in his mind. So career wise, Hagar

692
00:52:17,199 --> 00:52:19,599
went on to replace David Lee Roth in the band

693
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:22,760
Van Helen from nineteen eighty five to nineteen ninety six

694
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:27,039
as lead singer. Although many fans objected to this move,

695
00:52:27,159 --> 00:52:30,840
the band achieved enormous commercial success during what was called

696
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:35,679
the Van Hagar Era. Hagar left Van Helen in nineteen

697
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:38,280
ninety six and returned to his solo career and also

698
00:52:38,599 --> 00:52:42,639
formed several small groups as well. He also began several

699
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:48,440
business ventures, including Cabo Wabbo Cantina Restaurants, Cabo Wabbo Tequila,

700
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:54,719
Sammy's Beach Bar Room, Santo Spirits with Guy Fiery, and

701
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:59,960
Red Rocker Brewing Company. Red Rocker referring to Hagar as nickname,

702
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:04,079
which originated in nineteen seventy seven during a tour stop

703
00:53:04,159 --> 00:53:07,159
in Seattle in which he performed clad Head to Doe

704
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:10,239
and Red to Toe in Red to promote his solo

705
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:14,400
album Red. Hagar was inducted into the Rock and Roll

706
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,400
Hall of Fame in two thousand and seven as a

707
00:53:16,519 --> 00:53:19,480
member of Van Halen. In two thousand and eight, he

708
00:53:19,599 --> 00:53:25,480
founded the Hagar Family Foundation, a private nonprofit focused on

709
00:53:25,639 --> 00:53:29,800
hunger relief and children's causes. And Hagar has also made

710
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:36,719
some TV appearances, including an episode of Nash Bridges, American Restoration,

711
00:53:37,119 --> 00:53:43,679
Aquitine Hunger Force, the twenty fourteen Covercraft episode of The Simpsons.

712
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:46,159
Brian any recollection.

713
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 4: On that not off the top of my head, but

714
00:53:48,639 --> 00:53:49,440
I know I've seen it.

715
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:51,280
Speaker 6: Oh, look at it.

716
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:53,760
Speaker 4: Oh, I guarantee that I'm gonna have to look it up.

717
00:53:54,039 --> 00:53:59,559
Speaker 10: All right, And the biography Channels Celebrity ghost Stories game,

718
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:07,239
in which he tells of being awakened by his estranged

719
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:12,239
father drunkenly pounding on his door demanding to see his

720
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:16,800
new grandson, and angry Hagar sent him away, but the

721
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:20,679
door pounding soon resumed, and when Hagar again opened the door,

722
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:24,199
there stood a bandmate delivering the news that his father

723
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:26,519
had been found dead earlier that night.

724
00:54:27,119 --> 00:54:27,360
Speaker 6: Wow.

725
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:30,599
Speaker 10: And on that note, I will leave you all to

726
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:32,000
reflect on what you've just heard.

727
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 4: And I looked it up while you were talking. Yes,

728
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,519
I remember the episode well that they put a band together.

729
00:54:37,679 --> 00:54:40,960
Homer plays bass, which is why Homer is the coolest character.

730
00:54:43,079 --> 00:54:48,639
So yeah, seeing it, Okay, all right, that was a

731
00:54:48,679 --> 00:54:52,280
good one. I think that's probably the quintessential road trip

732
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:57,199
kind of song at this point. Maybe I'm wrong.

733
00:54:58,199 --> 00:55:01,320
Speaker 11: I gotta say it's definitely a Wines Central road strip.

734
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:04,000
I mean, it's just that's a classic. It's a total

735
00:55:04,039 --> 00:55:06,760
classic when you think about it. It's uh who doesn't

736
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:08,719
love that when you're just cruising along the highway?

737
00:55:09,519 --> 00:55:13,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, agreed? All right, thank you, Barbara. It's time for

738
00:55:13,119 --> 00:55:15,519
our second pit stop, so go do what you gotta

739
00:55:15,599 --> 00:55:17,880
do and we'll come back. And we have one more

740
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,239
leg of the trip to make, so stick around. We'll

741
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:20,719
be right back.

742
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:33,280
Speaker 3: Ludgsin Riverradio dot com, Hudson River Radio dot com.

743
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:39,239
Speaker 4: All right, get back in the car, let's go. Who's up, Gail?

744
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:39,800
Speaker 6: You're up?

745
00:55:40,519 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 8: Gun?

746
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:41,679
Speaker 20: Yeah?

747
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 7: Well so, yes, I can be a little bit of

748
00:55:48,519 --> 00:55:52,480
a lead foot occasionally, especially commuting to work.

749
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,320
Speaker 4: What I've seen you skid into your driveway.

750
00:56:00,039 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 7: Anyway, Since Neil already picked Radar Love, which would have

751
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:10,480
been my top choice for this, my second choice is

752
00:56:11,119 --> 00:56:18,480
Lagrange by zz Top. Zz Top makes very good, driving,

753
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:25,559
fast songs in my opinion. Lagrange is one of zz

754
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:30,480
Top's most successful songs from their nineteenth nineteen seventy three

755
00:56:30,639 --> 00:56:34,920
album Tres Ombres, which, for those of you who don't

756
00:56:35,079 --> 00:56:40,960
know Spanish means three men, which makes sense. It was

757
00:56:41,199 --> 00:56:44,920
released as a single in January nineteen seventy four, and

758
00:56:45,039 --> 00:56:50,119
as you may already know, it received extensive radio play.

759
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:53,480
You couldn't miss it, but it was always worth hearing

760
00:56:53,559 --> 00:56:57,320
in my opinion. It rose to number forty one on

761
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:01,360
the Billboard Hot one hundred in June of nineteen seventy four.

762
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:05,519
It was the band's first single to make a dent

763
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:10,119
in the Billboard Hot one hundred, and it propelled their

764
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:16,519
third album into the top ten. Lagrange is mostly a

765
00:57:16,639 --> 00:57:24,360
free form instrumental jam, brimming with gibbons unbridled lose soloing

766
00:57:24,599 --> 00:57:27,239
try saying that three times fast.

767
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:28,599
Speaker 4: He plays guitar good.

768
00:57:34,039 --> 00:57:38,440
Speaker 7: The very few lyrics it has were inspired by the

769
00:57:38,599 --> 00:57:44,960
notorious Chicken Ranch brothel that was located outside of Lagrange, Texas.

770
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:48,599
Speaker 4: Chicken Range, Yeah, I know, right.

771
00:57:49,159 --> 00:57:53,760
Speaker 7: Oddly the brothel is. That particular brothel is also the

772
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:57,039
subject of the Broadway play and film The Best Little

773
00:57:57,079 --> 00:58:02,199
Whorehouse in Texas, which I did not know. As Gibbons

774
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:08,079
recalls growing up in Texas, there were two requirements toward manhood.

775
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:11,239
You had to visit Lagrange and you had to go

776
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:16,039
to the Mexican border. We somehow captured both in one

777
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:23,480
single trip. Also, the guitarist points to Buddy Holly as

778
00:58:23,599 --> 00:58:27,920
Peggy Sue got married the Rock Pioneers sequel to Peggy

779
00:58:28,039 --> 00:58:34,400
Sue as a compositional inspiration, he says that song showed

780
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:38,440
us you didn't have to rhyme every single stanza or verse.

781
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:42,079
It was an important song in terms of our career,

782
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:47,320
and in many ways it was the perfect introduction of

783
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:52,400
zz Top to the world. Let's have a listen to

784
00:58:52,599 --> 00:58:58,039
the song and I'll say a few things without cc

785
00:58:58,559 --> 00:58:59,920
themselves afterwards.

786
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:01,400
Speaker 4: Real must written.

787
00:59:01,559 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 18: Row you know, to take your time at the shack

788
00:59:08,199 --> 00:59:10,320
outside the games.

789
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 14: You're not not talking about, just letting me know if.

790
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:16,039
Speaker 13: You want to go.

791
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 14: To that goo.

792
00:59:19,559 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 13: On my.

793
00:59:21,599 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 4: Rains, they got a lot of nice scales.

794
00:59:29,639 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 22: I'm I'm out here.

795
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:42,960
Speaker 9: It's fine if you don't got the time.

796
00:59:45,079 --> 00:59:48,599
Speaker 4: Now not tell do care, don't self.

797
00:59:50,679 --> 00:59:52,039
Speaker 17: Out the hair's time.

798
00:59:53,519 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 2: I'm all sawn the nice.

799
00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:01,559
Speaker 18: But now im them ms M.

800
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:19,840
Speaker 14: Names?

801
01:02:24,239 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 7: Is that delicious or what?

802
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 4: Oh my god?

803
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:30,719
Speaker 1: Take a deep breath.

804
01:02:32,119 --> 01:02:34,519
Speaker 4: The guitar do we need a third break?

805
01:02:37,559 --> 01:02:40,199
Speaker 2: The guitar is just so good.

806
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:44,199
Speaker 7: I there's not a song I don't like by Zizi

807
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:50,199
Chap and it's just delicious anyway.

808
01:02:50,639 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 9: Uh.

809
01:02:53,039 --> 01:02:56,519
Speaker 7: The composition of this song is based on a traditional

810
01:02:56,719 --> 01:03:02,440
boogie blues rhythm used by Lee Hooker in a song

811
01:03:02,519 --> 01:03:07,239
called Boogie Chillin. And I've never heard of this song

812
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:14,320
by Canned Heat. It's also based on canned heats bride

813
01:03:15,039 --> 01:03:20,400
hockey boogie. I've heard of canned heat, but I never

814
01:03:20,679 --> 01:03:24,800
heard of fried hockey boogie. Sounds really gross.

815
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 10: Actually, it sounds like something a fourth grader would say.

816
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, exactly.

817
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:39,960
Speaker 7: In nineteen ninety two, Bernard Bessman, a music publisher who

818
01:03:40,039 --> 01:03:43,440
worked with John Hooker and had a songwriting co credit

819
01:03:43,559 --> 01:03:47,840
on Boogie Chillin, filed a lawsuit against the members of

820
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:52,760
zz Top, alleging that Looked Range infringed on Boogie Chillin.

821
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:57,400
A federal judge dismissed the case in nineteen ninety five,

822
01:03:57,679 --> 01:04:01,320
declaring Boogie Chillin was in public domain.

823
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:08,480
Speaker 6: Unfortunately, by that point, John Lee Hooker was na anymore anyway,

824
01:04:08,639 --> 01:04:10,960
So yeah, right around that time.

825
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:17,360
Speaker 7: The first time Zezy Top played Lagrange in Lagrange, Texas,

826
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:22,840
was during the Fayette County Fair on September fifth, twenty fifteen.

827
01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:27,079
In March twenty twenty, the song re entered the Billboard

828
01:04:27,239 --> 01:04:32,119
charts following the release of the documentary Zezy Top, That

829
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:36,679
Little Old Band from Texas. That Little Old Band from

830
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:42,639
Texas formed in Houston, Texas, in nineteen sixty nine. The

831
01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:47,800
band maintained a constant line up for over five decades,

832
01:04:48,639 --> 01:04:54,840
consisting of vocalist guitarist Billy Gibbons, drummer Frank Beard, and

833
01:04:55,199 --> 01:05:00,440
bassist vocalist Dusty Hill, until Hill's departure due to a

834
01:05:00,639 --> 01:05:06,079
hip injury, and he died not long after that. Unfortunately,

835
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:12,079
in twenty twenty one, before his passing, he recorded bass

836
01:05:12,159 --> 01:05:16,960
and vocals for The Bend's upcoming sixteenth studio album at

837
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:22,760
his request. Zz Top continued on with Hill's guitar tech

838
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:30,559
Elwood Francis on bass. They have a website. It's www

839
01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:32,599
dot zz top dot com.

840
01:05:33,199 --> 01:05:38,320
Speaker 4: If you have not seen Elwood, I haven't google Elwood. Okay,

841
01:05:38,519 --> 01:05:40,760
that is the hairstyle I'm going to have in retirement.

842
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:43,239
That's all I can say.

843
01:05:43,639 --> 01:05:46,119
Speaker 7: Okay, I'll have to look that up.

844
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:49,840
Speaker 4: That's what I'm doing. He's also as part of a

845
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:55,000
stick He plays a seventeen string bass and as publicly said,

846
01:05:55,039 --> 01:05:57,000
he regrets playing it because it's such a pain in

847
01:05:57,079 --> 01:05:59,280
the butt. Yeah, and he brings it out for a

848
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:02,119
song or two exactly, so he plays it a little

849
01:06:02,119 --> 01:06:03,039
bit and then puts it away.

850
01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:07,800
Speaker 6: Oh how do you even get your hand around that?

851
01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:10,519
Speaker 4: He doesn't. He just plays the higher he really can.

852
01:06:11,519 --> 01:06:18,480
Speaker 7: But yeah, they're touring I think June and July in Europe,

853
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:25,800
August and September in various places in the US, and

854
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:27,760
then I guess they're taking October off.

855
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:29,119
Speaker 4: Maybe they like Halloween.

856
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:29,800
Speaker 1: I don't know.

857
01:06:30,519 --> 01:06:35,719
Speaker 7: But in November they're going to be playing South America. Nice,

858
01:06:36,239 --> 01:06:40,360
No Canada. Do they have something against Canada? I'm very confused.

859
01:06:41,679 --> 01:06:44,760
Speaker 10: Maybe they don't have real ideas or enhanced ideas or something.

860
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:48,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, when you go from Texas to Canada, that's a

861
01:06:48,199 --> 01:06:49,639
pretty big swing in temperature.

862
01:06:50,079 --> 01:06:52,039
Speaker 6: I'll say it's kind of kind of cold up there.

863
01:06:53,679 --> 01:06:55,559
Not that I know about, you know, getting old and

864
01:06:55,719 --> 01:06:59,519
being cold. But oh wait, yeah, I'm getting there.

865
01:06:59,559 --> 01:07:00,960
Speaker 4: But I could tell you about Canadians.

866
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:06,639
Speaker 7: My land Lady is Canadian and she's fine all right.

867
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:08,480
He's also eighty two.

868
01:07:09,719 --> 01:07:10,880
Speaker 4: So I could probably take her.

869
01:07:12,599 --> 01:07:13,000
Speaker 12: I don't know.

870
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:15,039
Speaker 7: She grew up on a dairy forum.

871
01:07:15,159 --> 01:07:18,000
Speaker 4: She's pretty tough, all right, might be fifty to fifty.

872
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:23,480
Speaker 7: So anyway, that's that's my song that makes me drive

873
01:07:23,599 --> 01:07:24,760
fast whenever I hear it.

874
01:07:25,079 --> 01:07:26,599
Speaker 4: Nice. Yeah, that's a good one.

875
01:07:26,679 --> 01:07:29,079
Speaker 1: They were in a zz Top was in a movie

876
01:07:29,159 --> 01:07:30,000
called Tough Turf.

877
01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:32,800
Speaker 7: Really it's so good.

878
01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:40,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's so good. And the star the movie

879
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:45,039
is one it's Andrew Garfield, Is that right, Andrew? I

880
01:07:45,079 --> 01:07:48,599
think so? And Kim Richardson, who is now one of

881
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:53,840
the housewives on one of those that's Kim richards right, yeah, yeah, yeah,

882
01:07:54,639 --> 01:07:57,880
she was such a little girl. It's a it's a

883
01:07:58,039 --> 01:08:01,360
real like I know, I know, it's a really hoking,

884
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:03,800
great nineteen eighties movie.

885
01:08:05,719 --> 01:08:09,280
Speaker 6: Well, the fact that that's easy Top really you know,

886
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:13,880
had a renaissance or a rebirth in the eighties due

887
01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:19,000
to MTV, and they would be like the last band

888
01:08:19,039 --> 01:08:21,640
I would ever think, you know, because you know there's

889
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:25,680
seventies stuff. They did not look new wave, they did

890
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:27,239
not know, but.

891
01:08:27,319 --> 01:08:31,479
Speaker 4: They did that hi budget good videos that really got

892
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:32,399
everybody's attention.

893
01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:33,039
Speaker 6: Yep.

894
01:08:33,239 --> 01:08:35,319
Speaker 7: And they were able.

895
01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, it was so unlikely but it was. But it.

896
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:43,720
Speaker 4: Just spinny guitars. You know how many kids they got

897
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:47,359
playing just by those guitars that, oh yeah, spun them around.

898
01:08:48,439 --> 01:08:50,520
Speaker 7: They're adorable, are.

899
01:08:52,399 --> 01:08:52,760
Speaker 6: All right?

900
01:08:53,039 --> 01:08:54,960
Speaker 4: That's a good one. That's a hard one. All these

901
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:56,840
are hard to follow, I know, right.

902
01:08:57,159 --> 01:08:59,560
Speaker 1: Let me just correct myself. It was James Spader that

903
01:09:00,159 --> 01:09:02,520
was the other man, star of Tuck Turf.

904
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:07,960
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, okay. So I don't know anybody who

905
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:10,800
doesn't like the song that I picked. So you tell me,

906
01:09:10,920 --> 01:09:13,880
because there's always one outlier Cranbone, and we'll see how

907
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:14,319
this goes.

908
01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 1: Outlier Ramon, I love the song that you picked, all right,

909
01:09:19,199 --> 01:09:19,840
I do tell you.

910
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:22,800
Speaker 6: So.

911
01:09:23,159 --> 01:09:26,079
Speaker 4: In the perpetual list of best guitarists in the world,

912
01:09:26,239 --> 01:09:30,680
and I hate those lists, one man is often overlooked,

913
01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:33,039
and that would be Lindsay Buckingham, best known as a

914
01:09:33,119 --> 01:09:37,279
member of Fleetwood Mac. Lindsay Buckingham was born in California

915
01:09:37,359 --> 01:09:39,840
in nineteen forty nine. He's the youngest of three boys.

916
01:09:40,039 --> 01:09:43,199
His brother Greg Buckingham, won a silver medal at the

917
01:09:43,279 --> 01:09:46,640
nineteen sixty eight Olympics in Mexico City. He may have

918
01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:48,520
trained with a runner in Budapest.

919
01:09:50,119 --> 01:09:52,640
Speaker 6: I was gonna say, is it what the topic is

920
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:54,359
the Olympics or is it road trip?

921
01:09:54,640 --> 01:10:00,560
Speaker 4: It's just amazing how roads roads cross, you know. So

922
01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:03,319
Lindsay never took music lessons, He never learned how to

923
01:10:03,399 --> 01:10:06,520
read music, but he was influenced by folk music of

924
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:09,600
the early sixties, like the Kingston trio Mercedes Cousin. There

925
01:10:10,199 --> 01:10:13,680
he taught himself to play guitar based on banjo methods

926
01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:17,359
of playing and by emulating Scotty Moore, who was Elvis

927
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:20,680
Presley's first guitarist, so didn't play with a pick played

928
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:23,279
by fingerpicking. To this day he does not play with

929
01:10:23,319 --> 01:10:27,479
a guitar pick. He plays with fingerpick style. In nineteen

930
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:30,960
seventy two, Lindsay and his girlfriend Stevie Nicks, whose first

931
01:10:31,039 --> 01:10:34,199
name is really Stephanie you're legally required to point that out,

932
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:37,720
recorded a few demo tracks and managed to land a

933
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:41,880
contract with Polydor Records. They were dropped shortly after because

934
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:45,359
the record did not sell very well, but in nineteen

935
01:10:45,439 --> 01:10:48,840
seventy four, Mick Fleetwood asked Lindsay to join Fleetwood Mac

936
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:52,479
as they had recently lost their guitarist, Bob Welch. Lindsay

937
01:10:53,319 --> 01:10:56,720
accepted the offer, contingent that he and Stevie were a team,

938
01:10:57,119 --> 01:10:59,840
that they would have to hire them both, and MC

939
01:11:00,079 --> 01:11:03,800
took them both no questions asked, very smart move. One

940
01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:06,960
year later, Fleetwood Mac released their self titled album which

941
01:11:07,039 --> 01:11:09,439
sorted number one in the US, but it was their

942
01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:12,399
second album that made them superstars. That would be Rumors,

943
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:15,399
which who doesn't have a copy of Rumors? If you're

944
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:19,760
over what thirty five forty? So all right, we'll have

945
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:22,880
to get one for Neil. See there's always one, always

946
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:23,640
one in the group.

947
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:27,720
Speaker 7: I don't have one either, but I like something.

948
01:11:28,319 --> 01:11:28,600
Speaker 9: You know what.

949
01:11:29,159 --> 01:11:31,880
Speaker 4: In this day and age, it's everything streaming anyway, so

950
01:11:32,359 --> 01:11:35,199
you're forgiven. You know, the songs, that's really what the

951
01:11:35,239 --> 01:11:35,880
most important.

952
01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:37,960
Speaker 6: You couldn't get away from them exactly.

953
01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:42,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the most important, So stream away. If you're

954
01:11:42,399 --> 01:11:45,239
thinking about writing a soap opera, just write down the

955
01:11:45,359 --> 01:11:48,279
history of Fleetwood Mac and change the character names and

956
01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:51,439
you got all the material you need. Everybody had affairs

957
01:11:51,479 --> 01:11:54,560
with everybody else. Everybody was butting heads with everybody else

958
01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:57,399
over the music and life choices and all this kind

959
01:11:57,399 --> 01:12:01,000
of stuff. They all wrote songs about each other and

960
01:12:01,079 --> 01:12:03,119
then made the other person have to stand there on

961
01:12:03,279 --> 01:12:05,640
stage and perform it with them looking at each other,

962
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:08,199
knowing that this song is about you and you have

963
01:12:08,319 --> 01:12:10,159
to stand there and sing it back to me kind

964
01:12:10,239 --> 01:12:10,439
of thing.

965
01:12:11,159 --> 01:12:13,000
Speaker 6: And they sang it all the way to the bank.

966
01:12:13,279 --> 01:12:17,600
Speaker 4: Pure Gold could not could not have pulled that off

967
01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:21,439
any better. Absolutely, I mean that we could spend all

968
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:24,279
night talking just about that. But half their catalog is

969
01:12:24,439 --> 01:12:27,520
just I'm writing this about you because I'm mad, and

970
01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:29,720
you now have to perform it back to me.

971
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:30,479
Speaker 6: So there you go.

972
01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:39,359
Speaker 4: Not surprisingly, everybody went their own way, pun completely intended. Sorry,

973
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:43,239
they were working on solo projects. Lindsay did a whole

974
01:12:43,319 --> 01:12:45,439
lot in the nineteen eighties. A lot of it went

975
01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:54,039
under the radar. Radar Love, but he was sorry, oh my.

976
01:12:55,199 --> 01:12:57,319
He was in the chorus for We Are the World

977
01:12:57,359 --> 01:12:59,239
in nineteen eighty five. He didn't have a solo but

978
01:12:59,399 --> 01:13:03,359
when you see the panorama picture of everybody, he's looked

979
01:13:03,359 --> 01:13:05,920
for the poofy hair that are more funkily kind of

980
01:13:06,279 --> 01:13:09,680
He's in there. That year he also wrote and recorded

981
01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:13,199
a song titled time Bomb Town Back to the Future

982
01:13:13,439 --> 01:13:15,880
for the soundtrack for Back to the Future. That got

983
01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:19,239
a little bit overshadowed by Huey Lewis in Power Love,

984
01:13:19,359 --> 01:13:22,359
which became a giant hit, but it's on there. It's

985
01:13:22,359 --> 01:13:25,520
a good song, and he wrote and recorded the track

986
01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:28,600
there We're going to hear in a moment. Fleetwood Mack

987
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:33,039
informally reunited in nineteen ninety two for Bill Clinton's presidential campaign,

988
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:36,039
and a few years later, nineteen ninety seven, they all

989
01:13:36,079 --> 01:13:38,520
got back together for a new album and a huge

990
01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:42,520
world tour, and then Lindsay was fired before the twenty

991
01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:47,319
eighteen tour and got replaced by Mike Campbell from Tom

992
01:13:47,399 --> 01:13:50,680
Petty and the Heartbreakers and Neil Finn from Crowded House.

993
01:13:51,079 --> 01:13:54,000
And I will point out that it took two outstanding

994
01:13:54,079 --> 01:13:58,880
guitarists to replace one Lindsey Buckingham, so keep that in mind.

995
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:02,439
One of Lindsay's solo tracks from the nineteen eighties was

996
01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:05,960
the single Holiday wrote. It was released in nineteen eighty three.

997
01:14:06,239 --> 01:14:08,479
It made it to number eighty two on the Billboard

998
01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:10,840
Hot one hundred, which you would say, well, it's not

999
01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:13,039
that great, but it's better than anything I've ever written,

1000
01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:16,439
so I'm not going to say anything bad. It's better

1001
01:14:16,520 --> 01:14:18,840
known as the theme to the nineteen eighty three movie

1002
01:14:18,920 --> 01:14:22,199
written by John Hughes and directed by Harold Ramis, National

1003
01:14:22,319 --> 01:14:28,399
Lampoon's Vacation jbij Beverly DiAngelo, That whole thing So good.

1004
01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:31,119
This song was used in all of the Vacation movies.

1005
01:14:31,199 --> 01:14:34,600
Except Christmas Vacation, which I would argue might be the

1006
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:39,800
best vacation movie. Another discussion for another night. So, in fact,

1007
01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:42,720
Harold Ramis actually asked Lindsay to write songs for the

1008
01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:45,119
movie because they had crossed paths. But that was something

1009
01:14:45,159 --> 01:14:48,000
that Lindsay had never done before. So he watched a

1010
01:14:48,119 --> 01:14:52,119
rough cut of the First Vacation and realized that he

1011
01:14:52,199 --> 01:14:54,600
thought it was hysterical, and he thought the song had

1012
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:57,880
to be, in his words, uplifting and a little funny.

1013
01:14:59,039 --> 01:15:01,439
I would say that's accurate. If you haven't seen the

1014
01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:03,880
movie yet, too bad. It is forty three years old,

1015
01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:05,520
so I'm going to ruin part of it for you.

1016
01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:07,800
You've had plenty of time to see this, all right.

1017
01:15:08,199 --> 01:15:10,479
So there's a gag where Clark, the dad played by

1018
01:15:10,560 --> 01:15:13,760
Chevy Chase, the family has to detour and pick up

1019
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:17,640
Aunt Edna, if you remember, and Edna is just this

1020
01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:21,840
cranky old lady hates everybody. Clark and Aunt Edna hate

1021
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:25,199
each other, and Edna's just insulting him. And Edna's dog

1022
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:28,680
hates everybody as much as Aunt Edna does, and Clark

1023
01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:31,560
hates the dog. So they're trying to pack everybody up,

1024
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:33,239
get everybody in the car to get back on the

1025
01:15:33,319 --> 01:15:37,760
road for their road trip, and Clark just temporarily puts

1026
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:40,800
the dog leash around the bumper of the car, and

1027
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:43,960
then everybody gets in the car and they drive away

1028
01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:48,319
forgetting about the dog. But you forgot about the dog

1029
01:15:48,439 --> 01:15:52,079
too as an audience member, until he gets pulled over

1030
01:15:52,199 --> 01:15:55,039
by the police and the cop comes up and hands

1031
01:15:55,119 --> 01:15:59,079
him back the collar and the leach, and then everybody

1032
01:15:59,159 --> 01:16:02,680
gave a collective oh my god because everybody forgot about

1033
01:16:02,720 --> 01:16:06,920
the dog. So they start breaking down in tears. The

1034
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:11,000
cop is legitimately upset. Clark is all crocodile tears because

1035
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:14,319
he hated that dog and he's just you know, it's

1036
01:16:14,359 --> 01:16:17,239
not real. So anyway, the reason I point that out

1037
01:16:17,399 --> 01:16:19,079
is because at the end of holiday road, do you

1038
01:16:19,159 --> 01:16:21,960
hear dogs barking? Lindsay put dogs barking in there, and

1039
01:16:22,079 --> 01:16:24,000
that's why he did it is because of that game,

1040
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:26,159
just to kind of give a little hope that that

1041
01:16:26,279 --> 01:16:27,520
dog is alive somewhere.

1042
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:30,960
Speaker 5: I never picked up on that before that that's why

1043
01:16:31,039 --> 01:16:32,000
the dog barking.

1044
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:32,720
Speaker 1: Was in never knew that.

1045
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:38,079
Speaker 4: That's why it's in there. Yep, Lindsay played all the instruments.

1046
01:16:38,119 --> 01:16:40,479
On the song, he sang almost all the vocal parts

1047
01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:44,199
except for there's a female backup singer in there. When

1048
01:16:44,319 --> 01:16:47,920
Lindsay went and played Holiday Road for Harold Ramis, Harold

1049
01:16:48,079 --> 01:16:51,399
was just floored. It was absolutely perfect first time out,

1050
01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:53,920
hit the nail on the head. I would agree, it

1051
01:16:54,079 --> 01:16:56,039
could not be a better fit for the style of

1052
01:16:56,119 --> 01:16:57,800
movie and the humor and all that kind of stuff.

1053
01:16:58,359 --> 01:17:01,159
There's a walking bassline which got my attention way back then,

1054
01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:03,880
something you didn't hear very much in the nineteen eighties.

1055
01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:07,800
The video for the song has absolutely nothing to do

1056
01:17:07,880 --> 01:17:10,760
with the movie. Lindsay plays like an office worker that

1057
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:12,760
has chained to his desk and gets walled up and

1058
01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:15,199
can't escape that kind of thing. But if you want

1059
01:17:15,279 --> 01:17:18,560
to see how he looked completely gorked out on drugs,

1060
01:17:19,159 --> 01:17:21,760
go watch the movie at the movie the video for

1061
01:17:22,239 --> 01:17:25,720
Holiday Road, because you can just you know, he as

1062
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:29,199
freely as all members of Fleet Fleetwood macv admitted that

1063
01:17:29,319 --> 01:17:34,199
they were partaking in substances at various levels. Lindsay has

1064
01:17:34,359 --> 01:17:37,319
repeatedly said he had used cocaine, but he was never

1065
01:17:37,479 --> 01:17:39,520
addicted to it. He didn't have the problem that other

1066
01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:44,000
band members did, but it is heavily insinuated that he's

1067
01:17:44,039 --> 01:17:47,159
a bit under the influence when they film this video.

1068
01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:49,880
Speaker 1: And if you watch that video and tell us what

1069
01:17:49,960 --> 01:17:50,279
you think.

1070
01:17:50,399 --> 01:17:52,720
Speaker 4: If you watch it, I would tend to agree that

1071
01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:54,920
that's pretty much accurate.

1072
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:56,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, so all right.

1073
01:17:56,520 --> 01:17:58,920
Speaker 4: Holliday Road by Linday Buckinghan nineteen eighty three.

1074
01:18:12,720 --> 01:18:14,720
Speaker 14: I don't go.

1075
01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:36,520
Speaker 2: So don't wait? Can Holiday broo holidays a jack pick name.

1076
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:43,159
Speaker 9: Jack Degree, take the right to West, saute.

1077
01:18:45,239 --> 01:19:22,319
Speaker 23: Holiday holab Jack pe Nis, Jack Digue taking the round

1078
01:19:22,520 --> 01:19:22,960

1079
01:19:23,000 --> 01:20:19,000
Speaker 2: Say I gave I found don't go, don't.

1080
01:20:18,760 --> 01:21:25,960
Speaker 19: Wait now Horday go had a foul don't go, don't

1081
01:21:26,039 --> 01:21:28,079
wait now, Holiday.

1082
01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:31,239
Speaker 8: Go Holiday.

1083
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:17,399
Speaker 6: And the dog was in tune too.

1084
01:22:18,199 --> 01:22:21,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, musical dog, very good.

1085
01:22:22,039 --> 01:22:22,239
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1086
01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:25,439
Speaker 4: How do you not smile listening to that song? Yeah,

1087
01:22:26,239 --> 01:22:27,600
gotta love it. That's on my list.

1088
01:22:29,359 --> 01:22:33,720
Speaker 5: So it's reminiscent of the family trip across America.

1089
01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:34,000
Speaker 10: There.

1090
01:22:35,279 --> 01:22:37,960
Speaker 4: So Neil was talking while while we were checking out

1091
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:40,640
the track. That song has been remade a bunch of times,

1092
01:22:41,159 --> 01:22:44,279
and I didn't go down that rabbit hole, but you

1093
01:22:44,399 --> 01:22:45,039
had something with that.

1094
01:22:46,119 --> 01:22:48,680
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, I I came to the song maybe, uh,

1095
01:22:49,119 --> 01:22:51,840
I don't know, six or eight years ago a cover

1096
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:55,319
version of it by a band called The Dollmonds, the

1097
01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:59,439
female fronted band, So it was, yeah, a little different,

1098
01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:06,479
but the same arrangement. Now cut to today in twenty

1099
01:23:06,560 --> 01:23:10,439
twenty six, I'm watching television. All of a sudden, I

1100
01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:13,640
hear that song come on, and it's for a candy commercial.

1101
01:23:14,359 --> 01:23:16,680
Now it's not even the band that covered the song.

1102
01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:19,640
It's a cover of their version of the song. So

1103
01:23:19,680 --> 01:23:24,039
I was like, come on. But obviously I would mention

1104
01:23:24,119 --> 01:23:25,960
the name of the candy, but unless they want to,

1105
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:27,279
you know, advertise.

1106
01:23:26,840 --> 01:23:28,640
Speaker 4: Oh they need to kick in or send us a

1107
01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:30,119
case of goods.

1108
01:23:30,800 --> 01:23:36,319
Speaker 6: Yes, either way, that strawberry flavored licorice candy, I'll say.

1109
01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:40,359
But yeah, I was like, whoa, there it is on

1110
01:23:40,479 --> 01:23:45,119
a candy commercial. And I'm sure Lindsay is he's taking

1111
01:23:45,199 --> 01:23:46,399
that all the way to the bank too.

1112
01:23:46,560 --> 01:23:49,000
Speaker 4: So yeah, And of course there's talk about, you know,

1113
01:23:49,199 --> 01:23:51,680
him going back to Fleetwood Mac, which he knew was coming.

1114
01:23:52,680 --> 01:23:55,199
They all make up and then fall apart and then

1115
01:23:55,359 --> 01:23:56,479
it's back and forth.

1116
01:23:56,640 --> 01:23:59,439
Speaker 6: So what what did he get kicked out for the second?

1117
01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:02,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know Stevie Nix and him were butting heads.

1118
01:24:03,239 --> 01:24:05,520
I don't remember all the details. But she made an

1119
01:24:05,560 --> 01:24:09,119
ultimatum he goes or I go, and that's a tough

1120
01:24:09,159 --> 01:24:15,479
one to replace. So he went, Yeah, I don't remember

1121
01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:16,680
what the argument was about.

1122
01:24:17,279 --> 01:24:21,319
Speaker 6: It was like fifty years ago. You don't I know, right, kids,

1123
01:24:21,399 --> 01:24:23,359
Can you just maybe like move on?

1124
01:24:23,800 --> 01:24:26,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know, because you know, look how much

1125
01:24:26,680 --> 01:24:29,319
good material came out of that. You kind of kind

1126
01:24:29,319 --> 01:24:30,760
of makes you want to poke the bear a little

1127
01:24:30,760 --> 01:24:32,159
bit and see what else happens.

1128
01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:33,960
Speaker 6: You can write another song about it.

1129
01:24:34,279 --> 01:24:36,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, when you're not in the middle of it, it's

1130
01:24:37,239 --> 01:24:42,960
you know, good material. So what can I say? All right, Uh,

1131
01:24:43,439 --> 01:24:45,199
everybody packed up ready to hit the road?

1132
01:24:45,840 --> 01:24:49,720
Speaker 1: Yeah right, I forgot to pay all right, there's.

1133
01:24:49,479 --> 01:24:50,119
Speaker 9: Always one.

1134
01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:53,880
Speaker 5: Yet that means in the middle of the back. Well,

1135
01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:55,239
Mercedes is in the bathroom.

1136
01:24:56,760 --> 01:24:58,239
Speaker 4: He's got to sit in the middle in the back,

1137
01:24:58,319 --> 01:25:02,600
and the first first stop at the coffee shop is

1138
01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:08,520
on her. It's all right, So good job. As always,

1139
01:25:08,720 --> 01:25:10,560
I liked all these I think these are all going

1140
01:25:10,640 --> 01:25:13,079
