Uh So can you tell 36 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,519 us about the inspiration? I mean, you know, probably kind 37 00:01:41,519 --> 00:01:43,799 of obvious, but can you tell us about the inspiration 38 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,359 behind the song working class Punk and why you decided 39 00:01:46,359 --> 00:01:47,760 to write that? And it's such a great track by 40 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,560 the way, I mean, you know, even if people don't 41 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:54,719 understand or uh, you know, vibe with the meaning behind 42 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,319 it and whatnot and what it's trying to say, it's 43 00:01:56,319 --> 00:01:59,359 also just really really catchy. Uh So you probably can't 44 00:01:59,359 --> 00:02:01,519 help it sing along to it. But can you tell 45 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,200 us about the inspiration for that song? 46 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 3: Yeah? For sure. You know what's funny is. 47 00:02:09,159 --> 00:02:12,759 Speaker 5: Our friend Brian Mulhern from Jackson and the pharmacist, like 48 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,439 a local local radio thing in our area. He was 49 00:02:16,479 --> 00:02:18,879 talking this morning. As he put he posted something on 50 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,039 Facebook this morning about how like, you know, it's really 51 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,639 hard to be working class right now, that like wages 52 00:02:25,719 --> 00:02:28,800 of stagnated and they've been stagnating for years. 53 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,199 Speaker 3: And everything is more expensive. 54 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 5: You know, inflation is out of control, rent is up, 55 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,560 the price of buying a house is up, groceries are 56 00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:41,479 more expensive, and like, you know, we're really feeling a 57 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:42,520 squeeze right now. 58 00:02:43,039 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 3: And I wrote this. 59 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 5: Song a year ago and it's only gotten worse than 60 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:47,560 the last year. 61 00:02:47,719 --> 00:02:49,759 Speaker 3: The song has only gotten more relatable. 62 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,319 Speaker 5: And I think when I wrote it, it was right 63 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,840 in that period.

Are 142 00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:31,959 there are there bands you can think of that might 143 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,319 have influenced you that also address these types of issues 144 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:37,160 and concerns. 145 00:06:38,959 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 3: Oh? 146 00:06:39,199 --> 00:06:43,439 Speaker 5: Absolutely, Specifically when I was writing working class punk. I 147 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,040 was listening to a lot of Larger and Grace. She's 148 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:48,160 the singer for. 149 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 3: The Against Me and Against Me. 150 00:06:51,399 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 5: I don't think is playing shows any longer, Okay, but 151 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,040 Large and Grace wrote all those songs, so she still 152 00:06:57,079 --> 00:06:58,360 performs them live with her band. 153 00:06:58,600 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: Yeah. 154 00:07:00,079 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 3: And then I mean, you know, like. 155 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,439 Speaker 5: Dropkick Murphy's have been been all over the news and 156 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:10,399 social media lately for their outspoken, you know, defense of 157 00:07:10,439 --> 00:07:14,279 the working class and critique of the current administration. 158 00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:14,199 Speaker 3: In the US. 159 00:07:14,399 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. 160 00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:17,399 Speaker 5: So yeah, there's I mean, I feel like, you know, 161 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,040 punk music has always been a you know, one outlet 162 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,439 for the working class. I mean, it's certainly not the 163 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,000 only music that speaks to the working class, but it's 164 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,399 always been there. I mean, you know, you think of 165 00:07:29,439 --> 00:07:33,560 bands like, you know, like Reagan, Youth, the Dead Kennedy's. 166 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,480 You know, these are some of the old school punk 167 00:07:36,519 --> 00:07:42,199 bands that always always talked about like punching up, fighting 168 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,839 against the oppression and the oppressive forces that really keep 169 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,680 us all down and try and divide us up into 170 00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:52,199 you know, red team, blue team, when really it's like 171 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,480 it's the top team versus the bottom team. 172 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 3: And I like to think of all of us as 173 00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,040 power bottoms. 174 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: Right, honey. The Sex Pistols also come to mind. 175 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 2: Obviously not an American band, but but you know, a 176 00:08:06,639 --> 00:08:09,839 lot of their their stuff also really addressed, uh, you know, 177 00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:13,160 things going on in the UK.

There's no way he's going to 434 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,839 have the energy out he was running around like a 435 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,799 maniac with no shirt on. You know, he's got that 436 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,640 like his skin looks like old leather, but like he is, 437 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,799 he was rocking, man like. I couldn't believe that Iggy 438 00:20:35,799 --> 00:20:37,880 Pop still had all that energy. I don't think I 439 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,240 have as much energy as he Pop does when he's 440 00:20:40,279 --> 00:20:41,279 on stage, like. 441 00:20:41,599 --> 00:20:43,799 Speaker 3: And I like to think I'm pretty active on stage. 442 00:20:43,839 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, Iggy. 443 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 3: Pop is on a different level. He really was. 444 00:20:47,519 --> 00:20:49,839 Speaker 2: It actually doesn't surprise me just because of I've never 445 00:20:49,839 --> 00:20:51,839 seen Iggy Pop live, but just from what I've heard, 446 00:20:52,319 --> 00:20:54,960 you know, over over the decades that, yeah, there's just 447 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,079 something about him. He just has endless energy no matter 448 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,119 how old he gets. That's one thing that never changes. 449 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,839 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm guessing it's like residual drugs flowing through his bloodstream, like, 450 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:10,200 you know, like there's that guy's done so much that 451 00:21:10,319 --> 00:21:12,039 like he's never going to come. 452 00:21:11,839 --> 00:21:15,039 Speaker 1: Down, right, Maybe that's what it is, And. 453 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,079 Speaker 3: That's what that's my guess. The only thing keep keeping 454 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,160 Keith Richards alive, That's what I'm sure of. 455 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: That, right, Yeah, he's gonna outlive us all I think.
