Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.
I don't know what it is, but in this age,
is it just me? But have we been witnessing a
lot of records being set, things that they said, oh,
nobody will ever tie that record or go beyond that record,
and yet they do. I mean, look at Lebron James,
look at what's going on in the world of college
female basketball. Everywhere we go, even with weather, this is
the biggest storm of all time. It's been a thousand
years since this has hit. How is it all of
a sudden we're experiencing the next big thing? But my
thing for you is are we going to remember it?
Or is this just something that's going to happen and
then it's going to be long forgotten and then someone
one hundred years from now is going to go, Man,
did you see what they did back there in twenty
twenty four? That group was on on fire? Hey, Errol,
this is the choice. This is what I was writing
while the sun was waking up on a brilliant new day, today,
we're reading from March twenty second, twenty twenty four, of
the day that Forbes magazine announced that the song Don't
Stop Believing is now the biggest selling single of all time.
Don't Stop Believing It's always been a favorite, but have
we ever looked at it as being one of the
biggest songs of all time? Doesn't that belong to Taylor Swift,
the Beatles, Elvis Presley, maybe even Boys to Men Now?
I remember talking to Neil Sean, the group's founding member
and guitarists. I asked him, do you ever dream of
this song becoming the national anthem? His reply was it
already is for us as mobile entertainers. The song Don't
Stop Believing has always been a huge go to during
the second half of our performance. And the reason why
is I needed to wake up my dance floor to
readjust the energy on that dance floor every generation reacts
to Don't Stop Believing. I'm just shocked that there is
some sort of line dance that goes with it, unless
standing in a circle singing at the top of your
lungs can be seen as such. Now, according to Neil Sean,
the song came together as a group effort, starting first
with Jonathan Kane on the piano, and then Neil himself
started with the chorus. But man, in an age of
too much to listen to in too many places, we
see a new king in music. Don't stop believing. How
has it affected your life? Has it added energy to it?
What do you do when you hear it? First thing
I always do. I crank up the radio, I crank
up my iHeartRadio, I crank up my Spotify. It's like,
oh my god, there's that song. Is there another song
like that that you really do embrace and that you've
carried with you all of these years. I love me
some Taylor Swift. Don't get me wrong, I love Taylor Swift.
But is she going to be on my favorites list
in ten or fifteen years now? Some people would say,
you're crazy, stop talking like that. She's got a long
list of good songs. You are absolutely right, but like,
don't stop believing. Is it still going to be around
forty plus years? Another song that has been like that?
Another one Bites the Dust from Queen. I'm shocked that
that's not somewhere in the top five. There are so
many songs from the nineteen eighties that radio overplayed that
we're still cranking up even today. I'm Errow, and that's
what I was writing while the sun was waking up
on a brilliant new day.
