11
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:26.359
<v Speaker 2>And you know again, I'm a child that grew up

12
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:28.239
<v Speaker 2>in the eighties and love, love, love the music from

13
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:29.879
<v Speaker 2>back then, and you got all kinds of fun stuff

14
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:31.600
<v Speaker 2>you're working on right now. Let's chat about that.

15
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:34.759
<v Speaker 1>Well, thanks for saying, and yeah, we do. We just

16
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:37.439
<v Speaker 1>made a new album. It's been a while since we've

17
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:40.399
<v Speaker 1>been in the studio to create a whole new batch

18
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:45.159
<v Speaker 1>of songs. But having celebrated our fiftieth anniversary a couple

19
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:47.759
<v Speaker 1>of years ago, we thought it was time to, you know,

20
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:52.240
<v Speaker 1>maybe take another take another shot at creating some fun songs.

21
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:53.119
<v Speaker 1>So that's what we did.

22
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:56.240
<v Speaker 2>I love that. Now. How has the music industry changed

23
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:58.320
<v Speaker 2>over the time that you started way back in the day,

24
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:00.479
<v Speaker 2>and now you're still doing it today. Hey, how has

25
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:02.520
<v Speaker 2>the music industry changed during that time?

26
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, my job hasn't really changed all that much.

27
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:10.439
<v Speaker 1>Every Saturday night, I walk on a stage somewhere USA,

28
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>I count the foe and I got a great rock

29
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:16.159
<v Speaker 1>and roll man that, just like you know, turns the

30
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:20.239
<v Speaker 1>house upside down. So my job hasn't changed all that much.

31
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:26.200
<v Speaker 1>How the music is recorded, I was presenting how it's

32
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:30.719
<v Speaker 1>shared with one another, Howard's I mean, that's a whole

33
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.200
<v Speaker 1>other world that has changed quite a bit.

34
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.359
<v Speaker 2>And the thing that's fun good music is good music,

35
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:39.200
<v Speaker 2>and I think that you know, again, you've got some

36
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:41.680
<v Speaker 2>phenomenal music from back in the day, and you've got

37
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.439
<v Speaker 2>some really good music now. There was one of your

38
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:47.680
<v Speaker 2>songs recently featured in a movie, Ricky Stanicky, which is

39
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:49.319
<v Speaker 2>a funny movie. Let's talk about that song.

40
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.120
<v Speaker 1>The guy who directed the film is a guy named

41
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Peter Farrell, one of the Farrelly brothers. And you know,

42
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:58.400
<v Speaker 1>they used to come see us when they were kids.

43
00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:01.439
<v Speaker 1>They used to sneaking the bars we were playing when

44
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:06.760
<v Speaker 1>they were younger. And he was working on that film.

45
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:09.080
<v Speaker 1>He was in Australia, and I wanted to know if

46
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:12.240
<v Speaker 1>I had anything new, and we were making the album.

47
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:14.159
<v Speaker 1>I hadn't finished the album yet, but I had that

48
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:16.599
<v Speaker 1>song Day in the Sun, and he heard it and

49
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:19.080
<v Speaker 1>he loved it, and I used it in the film.

50
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:22.719
<v Speaker 1>So yet another song in movies that we're probably up

51
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.000
<v Speaker 1>around forty years so over.

52
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:29.039
<v Speaker 2>The years, absolutely, and one very famous movie that you

53
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:31.400
<v Speaker 2>got to do the entire soundtrack, it seems for Eddie

54
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:33.840
<v Speaker 2>and the Cruisers, and a lot of the music from

55
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.599
<v Speaker 2>that movie. Again it's all from you, from John Cafferty

56
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:39.280
<v Speaker 2>and the Beaver Brown Band. But those songs became huge

57
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:41.879
<v Speaker 2>hits because of the movie and because they were great songs.

58
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.599
<v Speaker 1>Well, thank you for saying. You know, it was a

59
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:48.680
<v Speaker 1>unique opportunity for us. We were a band that had

60
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:50.919
<v Speaker 1>been together for quite a few years. We were a

61
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:55.840
<v Speaker 1>bar band, extraordinary, very entertaining, and had the you know,

62
00:02:56.759 --> 00:02:59.599
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the early history of rock and roll

63
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:03.639
<v Speaker 1>under our fingertips, and we're writing songs in that vein.

64
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:08.039
<v Speaker 1>And you know, a guy named Kenny Vance was walking

65
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:11.639
<v Speaker 1>down the street one day in Greenwich Village Yours heard

66
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:13.719
<v Speaker 1>the sound of the band coming out the window and

67
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.599
<v Speaker 1>came in and watched us, and we never knew he

68
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:18.479
<v Speaker 1>was there. And an about a year later he came

69
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.680
<v Speaker 1>up for the script for Eddie and the Cruises and

70
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:22.919
<v Speaker 1>we were off to the races.

71
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:26.719
<v Speaker 2>I love that, And again, what an amazing movie. And again,

72
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:29.280
<v Speaker 2>the music makes the movie with You could have done

73
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.319
<v Speaker 2>that same movie with bad music and the movie wouldn't

74
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:34.080
<v Speaker 2>have worked, and the music wouldn't have worked. So I

75
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:36.840
<v Speaker 2>think you guys brought the magic seasoning to that to

76
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:38.080
<v Speaker 2>make it work all around.

77
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, probably a very collaborative effort, you know, but I

78
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:49.400
<v Speaker 1>think the composite characters that were created with the actors

79
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:55.599
<v Speaker 1>on the screen and the musicians behind the screen, seemed

80
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:56.599
<v Speaker 1>to work pretty well.

81
00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Now you've got a bunch of songs that are iconic,

82
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.599
<v Speaker 2>see it y tough all over. I mean again, a

83
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:06.560
<v Speaker 2>bunch of music in movies, which you know, probably up

84
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:09.960
<v Speaker 2>there with anybody as far as that. And now you

85
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:12.759
<v Speaker 2>put out this new album and I'm reading here that

86
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.560
<v Speaker 2>the new album almost didn't happen. Why is that?

87
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:18.680
<v Speaker 1>We were a band that, you know, when that window

88
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:23.920
<v Speaker 1>of opportunity from the eighties sort of evolved and evolved

89
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:28.000
<v Speaker 1>into new styles and music being played, we did to

90
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.800
<v Speaker 1>sort of you know, we just sort of went back

91
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:33.279
<v Speaker 1>to what we knew how to do, which was to

92
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:35.680
<v Speaker 1>be a live band. Only Now we had a couple

93
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:38.160
<v Speaker 1>of years under our belt and we were able to

94
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:41.959
<v Speaker 1>play around the country. But we never stopped playing. But

95
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:44.279
<v Speaker 1>we never we didn't really think that we had a

96
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:47.959
<v Speaker 1>place in the record business anymore, which was pretty much

97
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:51.120
<v Speaker 1>true for a number of years with our record deal.

98
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:55.839
<v Speaker 1>But you know, at this point, we had celebrated our

99
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:59.279
<v Speaker 1>fiftieth anniversary, we had this greatest Hits record coming out.

100
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:04.839
<v Speaker 1>Was contacted by our friend Bruce Springsteen down New Jersey.

101
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:08.040
<v Speaker 1>He was right around his car listening to some of

102
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:11.319
<v Speaker 1>the songs I had written, and he said, I think

103
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:13.959
<v Speaker 1>you need more I think you need more stuff, So

104
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:18.399
<v Speaker 1>I need a bigger playlist from you. So he, you know,

105
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:22.040
<v Speaker 1>sort of, you know, give us a little encouragement to,

106
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:25.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, keep moving towards making new songs.

107
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:27.720
<v Speaker 2>So when we listen and love it, we can thank

108
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:28.439
<v Speaker 2>the boss for that.

109
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, you can thank him for a lot of things.

110
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:35.319
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know if this one is real high

111
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:39.839
<v Speaker 1>up on his list. But I just heard heasily dropping

112
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:46.519
<v Speaker 1>seven new albums all at once, just mind boggling to me.

113
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:49.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, I am excited to hear some of this new music.

114
