Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: You might have seen the i'll say the kerfuffle regarding
Speaker 2: Saturday Night Live. There was an issue of what was
Speaker 2: called equal time regarding Kamala Harris's appearance. Let me just
Speaker 2: get into what equal time is and equal time is
Speaker 2: the understanding the rule I should say by the FCC
Speaker 2: which says that each candidate should have no less of
Speaker 2: an opportunity to be heard or seen on the public
Speaker 2: broadcasting airwaves.
Speaker 1: Quote.
Speaker 2: The SEC seeks to ensure that no legally qualified candidate
Speaker 2: for office is unfairly given less access to the airwaves
Speaker 2: outside of bonafied news exemptions than their opponent. Equal opportunities
Speaker 2: generally means providing comparable time and placement to opposing candidates,
Speaker 2: but does not require a station to provide opposed candidates
Speaker 2: with programs identical to the initiating candidate. Kamala Harris appeared
Speaker 2: on Saturday Night Live. Obviously that's NBC will play that
Speaker 2: for you. The whole bit was about two minutes long.
Speaker 2: There was one of the FCC members I think they're five,
Speaker 2: and a Trump appointee specifically, so there's that was saying
Speaker 2: that this was a violation of equal time. Donald Trump
Speaker 2: should have been given equal time. Yes and no. Yes,
Speaker 2: if you want to go by the strict interpretation. Because
Speaker 2: NBC is a broadcast outlet, this equal time does not
Speaker 2: apply to cable. So if you say, well, what about
Speaker 2: all the times did Donald Trump went on you know,
Speaker 2: Fox and Friends, that's cable. Cable's a private signal, NBC, ABC, CBS,
Speaker 2: those are broadcast stations. They're actually broadcasting and they use
Speaker 2: the public airways. So the FCC is with respect to that,
Speaker 2: governs equal time for that. So and the FCC and
Speaker 2: equal time does not apply to the internet social media.
Speaker 2: So just because Joe Rogan had on Donald Trump doesn't
Speaker 2: mean that Kamala Harris can say, hey, wait what about
Speaker 2: about equal time? Now there is a question, or the
Speaker 2: question could be asked, well, what about when Donald Trump
Speaker 2: came on KFI. If the Harris campaign went to KFI
Speaker 2: and said, hey, I heard Donald Trump was on for
Speaker 2: a half hour, John Cobel, we want equal time, then
Speaker 2: KFI would probably have to extend that invitation. I don't
Speaker 2: think that the Harris campaign wanted to come on KFI.
Speaker 2: So it was a moot point. But as far as
Speaker 2: equal time, that's where it begins and ends. It has
Speaker 2: to be a broadcast station, radio, television, not cable, not
Speaker 2: social media.
Speaker 3: And yeah, so it doesn't apply even if it's a
Speaker 3: news joke or not a news joke. But even if
Speaker 3: it's like a satire, it doesn't count.
Speaker 2: The fact that she appeared makes it an equal time
Speaker 2: issue or could be. You know, it could be looked upon.
Speaker 2: It wasn't litigated, so we'll never know. NBC ultimately said, here,
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, here's you can have a minute and a half,
Speaker 2: will air your your ad or whatever during Sunday Night Football.
Speaker 2: Going back to what I was saying about equal time,
Speaker 2: it does not have to be the same show, doesn't
Speaker 2: have to be Saturday Night Live. It has to do
Speaker 2: with the outlet, which is NBC. So they gave him
Speaker 2: time on NBC. It doesn't have to be Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 2: Now Saturday Night Live is said, hey, we've extended an
Speaker 2: invitation of Donald Trump. He declined, I don't know if
Speaker 2: that's true or not. I'm just saying that's what Saturday
Speaker 2: Night Live said. But NBC said, look, effort, here's a
Speaker 2: minute and a half, will air your ad will play
Speaker 2: it on Sunday Night Football. They did last night twice.
Speaker 2: If I'm not mistaken. Here is the Kamala Harris bit
Speaker 2: which led to the controversy.
Speaker 4: This is it the last campaign stop in Pennsylvania. Gosh,
Speaker 4: I just I wish I could talk to someone who's
Speaker 4: been in my shoes. You know, a black South Asian
Speaker 4: woman running for president, preferably from the Bay Area.
Speaker 2: That's Maya Rudolph talking as Kamala Harris.
Speaker 5: You a new boath sister. It's nice to see you, Kamala.
Speaker 5: It is nice to see you, Kamala. And I'm just
Speaker 5: here to remind you you got this because you can
Speaker 5: do something your opponent cannot do. You can open doors.
Speaker 1: I see it from that.
Speaker 4: They like to be a garbage truck, right.
Speaker 2: I don't really.
Speaker 5: Laugh like that, do I?
Speaker 2: A little bit?
Speaker 6: Not?
Speaker 4: Kamala, take my Pamela. The American people want to stop
Speaker 4: the chaos.
Speaker 2: And end the dramaa.
Speaker 4: With a cool new step Mamala, kick backing our Pajamala's
Speaker 4: and watch a rum Kamala.
Speaker 5: Like legally Blondola and start decorating for Christmas.
Speaker 4: Follow lalaha, because what do we always say, keep Kamala
Speaker 4: and carry on.
Speaker 6: Alah.
Speaker 1: We know each other so well.
Speaker 4: We even finish each other's belief in the promise of America.
Speaker 2: Right now, come on, let's.
Speaker 5: Bring it in.
Speaker 4: I gotta tell myself something over here. Come ray, I'm
Speaker 4: going to vote for us.
Speaker 1: Great.
Speaker 5: Any chance you are registered in Pennsylvania?
Speaker 3: Nope, I am not.
Speaker 5: Well, it was worth a shot in.
Speaker 2: Live from New York. Okay, that's the Saturday Night Live
Speaker 2: skit that was responded to by a member of the SCC.
Speaker 2: And so this is what the Trump campaign offered to
Speaker 2: be played during Sunday Night Football. And I think they
Speaker 2: played it at the beginning in the end, near the
Speaker 2: end of the broadcast.
Speaker 6: Hello to our great sports fans, and I hope you
Speaker 6: haven't a fantastic time. We're two days away from the
Speaker 6: most important election in the history of our country. We've
Speaker 6: got to save our country and in need saving. It's
Speaker 6: in very bad shape. The worst economic numbers in generations
Speaker 6: were just announced two days ago.
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, and I thought the Great Recession was
Speaker 2: like twenty ten. How could it?
Speaker 6: Never mind, generations were just announced two days ago. We're
Speaker 6: losing jobs, We're losing everything, including viability, we're gonna end
Speaker 6: up in a depression based on what's been happening. We've
Speaker 6: never seen anything like it, at least for the last
Speaker 6: forty years. We have to straighten down.
Speaker 2: The Great Recession was like twenty ten. I lived through it.
Speaker 2: I remember it. Okay, it was really bad. Banks were
Speaker 2: like going all to hell. People were losing their houses.
Speaker 2: I remember, I was. I was alive for that. Weren't you, Twala,
Speaker 2: weren't you alive for that? Yeah? Okay, I was just
Speaker 2: wondering because this doesn't seem accurate.
Speaker 6: We've never seen anything like it, at least for the
Speaker 6: last forty years.
Speaker 2: Forty years ago. So that's nineteen eighty four. Is that
Speaker 2: forty years ago? Yeah, eighty four. I could have sworn
Speaker 2: it was like fourteen years ago.
Speaker 6: We've never seen anything like it, at least for the
Speaker 6: last forty years. We have to straighten out our country.
Speaker 6: We have to close our borders, we have to lower
Speaker 6: our taxes, we have to get rid of inflation. And
Speaker 6: we're going to do it. Just remember Kamala and her
Speaker 6: friends broke it. I'll fetch it. Most important election and
Speaker 6: the history.
Speaker 2: Of our country. Go and vote. Look, whether you vote
Speaker 2: from or not what he said there was factually untrue,
Speaker 2: but it was also during football. Well, no, no, well,
Speaker 2: I will say this, NFL viewership audience skews right. So
Speaker 2: that and also it's a huge audience NFL football ratings.
Speaker 2: Regardless of what you think about NFL, it still pulls
Speaker 2: in people. So there was a verifiable audience who saw No.
Speaker 3: I dig that, but it's such a downer while watching
Speaker 3: the game.
Speaker 2: Look, this is what they this is what they chose
Speaker 2: to submit, and that's what people got to see. It's
Speaker 2: later with Mokelly k if I AM six forty WeLive

Speaker 2: at the Anaheim White House. It's Later with mo Kelly
Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: When we come back, we have to talk about these
Speaker 2: presidential endorsements, whether they matter at all, or why you
Speaker 2: might be hearing more of them this year than in
Speaker 2: previous election cycles. Will tell you why.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from.
Speaker 2: Ko kfis Later with bo Kelly. We're Live everywhere the
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app as we continue to celebrate the life and
Speaker 2: the legacy of Quincy Jones. That's one of my favorite
Speaker 2: Frank Sinatra songs. But if you don't know your music,
Speaker 2: you may not know that Quincy Jones produced that along
Speaker 2: with the Count Basie Orchestra. Something else which has been
Speaker 2: going on with respect to the election is another day,
Speaker 2: another presidential endorsement, and it seems like they're more now
Speaker 2: than ever before, especially when it comes to celebrities, be
Speaker 2: it actors, be it musicians, be it athletes. Everyone seems
Speaker 2: to be endorsing a presidential candidate, not Senate, not governor,
Speaker 2: not mayor. It's not sexy enough, it's got to be president.
Speaker 2: Harrison Ford Han Solo has endorsed Kamala Harris, Lady Gaga
Speaker 2: as well. Lady Gaga was appearing with Kamala Harris today
Speaker 2: and I'm not one to believe that an endorsement on
Speaker 2: Monday night before presidential election is going to garner anyone
Speaker 2: any more votes, but it's a good entry point into
Speaker 2: the conversations like why are there so many entertainers dipping
Speaker 2: their toe into this pool? I would say it goes
Speaker 2: all the way back to Bill Clinton, and that's how
Speaker 2: it kind of started, and then with the candidacy of
Speaker 2: Donald Trump it became supersized. But hear me out going
Speaker 2: back to Bill Clinton, and if you're not old enough
Speaker 2: to remember, it used to be it was frowned upon
Speaker 2: when presidential candidates would do anything that wasn't a part
Speaker 2: of legacy media or traditional media, be it newspapers, news programs,
Speaker 2: and back then you were not allowed to just phone
Speaker 2: in an interview like they say phoning it in. That
Speaker 2: goes back to you'd actually have to have to show
Speaker 2: up for a presidential interview. You didn't have candidates calling
Speaker 2: in to meet the press or crossfire or sixty minutes.
Speaker 2: All of those were sitting down expectations. You have to
Speaker 2: sit down for the interview. That change, and it started
Speaker 2: to change with Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton went on the
Speaker 2: Arcinio Hall Show, which is a late night television show
Speaker 2: in the early nineties, and it was very popular. But
Speaker 2: campaigns started to realize that there was an overlooked voting
Speaker 2: segment younger people. Younger people Historically, when I say younger people,
Speaker 2: you know late teens, early twenties, maybe even early thirties.
Speaker 2: They were not usually the group that was mobilized to
Speaker 2: go to the polls. Voters tended to be older. The
Speaker 2: older you got, the more consistently you voted. And the
Speaker 2: people and me during Bill Clinton, you know, we were
Speaker 2: the young people. We were the gen xers, we were
Speaker 2: the young kids on the block. We were the least
Speaker 2: likely to vote in numbers. Well, the Clinton campaign said, well,
Speaker 2: let's see if we can reverse that or add to
Speaker 2: our coalition and doing non traditional media. And I didn't
Speaker 2: have time to pull up the clip, but you can
Speaker 2: pull up the clip of Bill Clinton on our Senior
Speaker 2: Hall Show and actually playing saxophone with the band, and
Speaker 2: that I think revolutionized how campaigning was approached. Where there're
Speaker 2: these these voting segments which are not being utilized. They're
Speaker 2: not being approached, they're not spending enough money in time
Speaker 2: with them to cultivate because there are two things. You
Speaker 2: want to cultivate that voting base for that particular election
Speaker 2: and also train them to consistently vote every single election.
Speaker 2: And I think about there was any one moment that
Speaker 2: I thought that politicians started to become more entertainers and
Speaker 2: rock stars. It was that particular moment was JFKF star. Yes,
Speaker 2: did he hang out with celebrities, yes, but general society
Speaker 2: didn't look upon the president as a part of Hollywood
Speaker 2: in the way that it's the case now. Now you
Speaker 2: have someone like Donald Trump who came from Hollywood. He
Speaker 2: was best known for a TV show, and I think
Speaker 2: that supersize and I would say, put the whole Hollywood
Speaker 2: entertainment focus on politics on steroids, and I don't think
Speaker 2: we'll ever go back. But since that time, entertainers high
Speaker 2: and low have tried to attach themselves and affixed themselves
Speaker 2: to politics. I don't think it's any real deep commitment.
Speaker 2: You have a lot of artists. The only time you
Speaker 2: hear from them in a political sense is when they
Speaker 2: want to attach themselves to a presidential candidate or a president,
Speaker 2: because now it's sexy, and now presidents are looked on
Speaker 2: as celebrities in many aspects. You have Kamala Harris going
Speaker 2: on SNL. Let's not forget Donald Trump hosted SNL back
Speaker 2: in twenty fifteen, and I think one other occasion. Now
Speaker 2: we just kind of expected. We have candidates sitting down
Speaker 2: on podcasts, which was thought to be beneath presidential candidates
Speaker 2: in the last election cycle. So if you look at
Speaker 2: these endorsements, the only thing they have in common is
Speaker 2: celebrity wants to be near celebrities. And if you look
Speaker 2: at the different endorsers, I don't know if you saw this.
Speaker 2: The Avengers, Marvel's Avengers, they did a group endorsement on
Speaker 2: social media of Kamala Harris, and I'm just going through
Speaker 2: the Kamala Harris ones and then I'll go into the
Speaker 2: Donald Trump ones. You had Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson
Speaker 2: doing a group where they got all the adventures together,
Speaker 2: most of them from Don Cheeto, Robert Downey Junior, Mark Ruffalo,
Speaker 2: and Paul Bettany who played vision and they did a
Speaker 2: group endorsement of Kamala Harris. That just tells you some
Speaker 2: of the biggest movie stars in the world are getting
Speaker 2: into this now. Whether that actually changes someone's vote, I
Speaker 2: don't know, but the thinking is you're reaching people that
Speaker 2: you didn't normally reach in previous elections. We all know
Speaker 2: about Taylor Swift, and that is one endorsement that I
Speaker 2: think did make a difference. For one reason, Kamala Harris
Speaker 2: was able to reach millions of younger voters which were
Speaker 2: not in her original demographic. Taylor Swift, originally being a
Speaker 2: country singer, was able to reach young girls of different
Speaker 2: ethnicities that probably would not have been exposed to Kamala
Speaker 2: Harris as quickly or usually given previous political cycles, so
Speaker 2: that one might have made a difference as far as
Speaker 2: exposure for a political candidate who was only on the
Speaker 2: scene in a presidential sense for about one hundred days.
Speaker 2: And Taylor swiftrobably had a lot to do with getting
Speaker 2: her name, Kamala Harris's name out there in a way
Speaker 2: that other entertainers probably would have had no impact. There's
Speaker 2: Donald schwartzendeg Or, Jennifer Lopez with Donna of course, Beyonce,
Speaker 2: Bruce Springsteen, Eminem and with Donald Trump. You know Elon Musk,
Speaker 2: who also donated seventy five million dollars to a campaign
Speaker 2: super pack. There's hul Cogan. We've seen a lot him
Speaker 2: on the campaign trail, including the RNC. Mel Gibson. Did
Speaker 2: you see Megan Kelly tonight, which was interesting. I didn't
Speaker 2: expect her to actually get out on a campaign trail,
Speaker 2: but she was with Donald Trump tonight. We heard about
Speaker 2: Dennis Quaid, John Voight, He's been no stranger to presidential politics,
Speaker 2: Jake Paul Kelsey Grammer, and Kid Rock just to name
Speaker 2: a few. So all of these celebrities are lending the
Speaker 2: power of their name to presidential politics. Me personally, it's strange.
Speaker 2: It's really strange. I don't know how many votes it's
Speaker 2: actually going to impact, but I think it's more about
Speaker 2: the celebrities trying to elevate themselves than the actual politician
Speaker 2: getting something out of it. But I could be wrong,
Speaker 2: and we'll find out tomorrow or at least Wednesday, or
Speaker 2: maybe Thursday. Well, probably not till Friday, because we're not
Speaker 2: going to find out who wins to the presidential election
Speaker 2: until probably closer to Thursday. Yeah, probably Thursday. It's Later
Speaker 2: with mo Kelly caf I AM six forty live everywhere
Speaker 2: on the iHeartRadio Apple. When we come back, I'll give
Speaker 2: you my personal anecdotes of Quincy Jones, who passed away
Speaker 2: at the age of ninety one yesterday.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty And.
Speaker 2: Before we get out of here, just a few notes
Speaker 2: on Quincy Jones, who passed away yesterday at the age
Speaker 2: of ninety one. I'm sure everyone is given some sort
Speaker 2: of musical retrospective about how he worked with everyone from
Speaker 2: Frank Sinatra, toured with Lionelhampton, of course, Michael Jackson and
Speaker 2: the Thriller album. That's all the stuff that most people know.
Speaker 2: But I just want to give just a couple of
Speaker 2: anecdotes about the guy that I had run into more
Speaker 2: than a few times in the course of both my
Speaker 2: music and also radio career. In the music industry, there
Speaker 2: was no bigger name. I think he had won maybe
Speaker 2: twenty eight Grammy Awards, but if you looked at his discography,
Speaker 2: it was for just about every genre, every single one.
Speaker 2: There was no bigger name in music. There was no
Speaker 2: one who was more well respected. Of course, he was
Speaker 2: the guiding force behind We Are the World in nineteen
Speaker 2: eighty five, the USA for Africa, and so many music
Speaker 2: projects across genres. But the guy that I ran into
Speaker 2: was probably far more humble than he really needed to be.
Speaker 2: It was Quincy frickin' Jones, and anytime he ran into him,
Speaker 2: he usually had time to talk. He usually was interested
Speaker 2: in you, what are you doing, What is it you
Speaker 2: want to do in the business. He was very quick
Speaker 2: to give just some general advice, Hey, you should possibly
Speaker 2: consider this or pursue that. He was a walking encyclopedia
Speaker 2: of course of music. And he started out For people
Speaker 2: who don't know, he started out as a horn player
Speaker 2: or trumpet players they call it, and that was his
Speaker 2: first instrument, and that was his preferred instrument. But he
Speaker 2: developed a brain aneurysm and almost died. And the doctor said,
Speaker 2: if you continue to play the trumpet, and if you
Speaker 2: know anything about playing the instrument, they call it the armbusher,
Speaker 2: where you press your lips against the instrument to make
Speaker 2: the sound and it puts pressure on your head. And
Speaker 2: the warned him, if you continue to play the trumpet,
Speaker 2: it'll probably kill you. And so he branched out into
Speaker 2: arranging and doing other things in the music business. But
Speaker 2: he always had time, at least when I ran into him.
Speaker 2: And here's something else that is probably impolitic to say,
Speaker 2: and probably impolite to say so soon after his passing,
Speaker 2: But Quincy Jones loved two things, or actually more than
Speaker 2: two things. If you've ever spent any time around him,
Speaker 2: you knew that he loved the ladies, ones especially much
Speaker 2: much younger than him, And he loved the cocktail. And
Speaker 2: they were probably at the same time. There was never
Speaker 2: a time in which I was around Quincy Jones, and
Speaker 2: I've been around him more than a handful in which
Speaker 2: he did not have one or more beautiful young women
Speaker 2: around him, usually fifty years his junior, and or a
Speaker 2: drink in his hand. My funniest moment with him. I
Speaker 2: wasn't physically with him. I had booked him for a
Speaker 2: radio show I was working as a producer and the
Speaker 2: host had I would say the bad idea to try
Speaker 2: to get Quincy Jones on the morning after the Grammys.
Speaker 2: Bad idea. I gotta know what was his preferred cocktail?
Speaker 2: Now that I don't know, I know he drank dark liquor.
Speaker 2: I don't know what his preferred cocktail. I feel like
Speaker 2: I must have a toast to him too. Yeah, he
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure he was a whiskey or rum guy,
Speaker 2: because it was it was always dark liquor that I
Speaker 2: saw him with. Okay, sorry to derail you. No, you
Speaker 2: didn't derail me at all. But I remember when I
Speaker 2: was on the phone talking to him, It's like, and
Speaker 2: he can get a little blue with the with the language.
Speaker 2: It's like, you efan want me to get on the
Speaker 2: phone for an interview at eight in the morning after
Speaker 2: the Grammys. You know I'm going to be hungover what
Speaker 2: he meant to say. You know it was going to
Speaker 2: be drunk, because he was still drunk. He's still drunk
Speaker 2: morning drunk. He did the interview, surprisingly enough, he was
Speaker 2: slurring every word. He got to new point where like,
Speaker 2: I don't know if we can use this on the
Speaker 2: air because it was a pre taped, pre recorded interview.
Speaker 2: But he was talking about the Grammys, he was talking
Speaker 2: about his career, but he was he was you could
Speaker 2: tell he was still drunk as a skunk. I admire
Speaker 2: that drunk as a skunk. But he warned us, it's like,
Speaker 2: it's not gonna be a good idea. Now, what would
Speaker 2: you expect? And we had to first call his either
Speaker 2: as a system or whatever the contact was, to physically
Speaker 2: go wake him up, because he was not going to
Speaker 2: get out of his bed on his own. And he
Speaker 2: stumbled to the phone and he did the interview. It
Speaker 2: was it was barely passable, but he was a man
Speaker 2: of his word. And I'm quite sure I could dig
Speaker 2: up the interview somewhere if I looked hard enough just
Speaker 2: to listen how bad it was. But it was one
Speaker 2: of those things where he always made time. He made
Speaker 2: out have been in the best physical shape at the
Speaker 2: moment because he loved to drink. Oh that's sporting. You
Speaker 2: think Sinatra never showed up loaded for an interview, Come on,
Speaker 2: but he was in He had to be in his
Speaker 2: late seventies at the time, because this is about maybe
Speaker 2: fourteen years ago, and I know he was drinking until
Speaker 2: the end. He was one of those things where're like, look,
Speaker 2: if I'm going out, I'm going out plastered. So he
Speaker 2: always had a drink in his hand, and he always
Speaker 2: had a beautiful young lady or eight on his arm.
Speaker 2: So I say that to say, Quincy Jones, for all
Speaker 2: of his great achievements, he lived life to the fullest,
Speaker 2: to the very end. He did not get cheated. And
Speaker 2: I'm quite sure even though he might have passed yesterday,
Speaker 2: he was living the week leaving up to his passing on.
Speaker 2: Here's another little anecdote. Stephanie may enjoy this. You know
Speaker 2: who his publicist was, No, who is it? Arnold Robinson
Speaker 2: for those who don't know, it's the same publicist as
Speaker 2: Eddie Murphy and Artoll. Robinson will never give me the
Speaker 2: time of day. I try to book Eddie Murphy and
Speaker 2: each time it gets to be a running joke between us,
Speaker 2: because I'll email him every year whenever Eddie Murphy has
Speaker 2: a project out, it'say, hey, can we get Eddie on?
Speaker 2: And he he's always polite. He always immediately responds, but
Speaker 2: he never even asks when I'm trying. He just says,
Speaker 2: Eddie's unavailable. But I didn't tell you what Eddie's unavailable.
Speaker 2: We want to get Eddie's unavailable, but Eddie's unavailable. How
Speaker 2: about Eddie's unavailable. He has never given me anything other
Speaker 2: than Eddie's unavailable. And you said he would reply within
Speaker 2: like eight minutes or something, right, nothing immediately. It's almost
Speaker 2: like an auto responder. I have to be auto responder
Speaker 2: at this point and my email comes up Eddie's unavailable.
Speaker 2: Did he give you the same issues with Quincy? Or
Speaker 2: was he not with him at the time. I don't
Speaker 2: think I ever reached out to him for Quincy. I
Speaker 2: try to go through other music in the street, people
Speaker 2: like I kind of know one of his daughters, that
Speaker 2: kind of thing. Else trying to go through that route
Speaker 2: would I wouldn't go through Arnold Robinson. I don't have
Speaker 2: any direct connect to Eddie, so that's the only reason
Speaker 2: I would go through Arnold Robinson. But yeah, someone that
Speaker 2: love life obviously gave more to all of us than
Speaker 2: life gave to him. He will sincerely be missed. But
Speaker 2: he was a good dude as far as what he
Speaker 2: did for other people up becoming musicians. You know, if
Speaker 2: you saw the movie Ray, you know what he did
Speaker 2: for Ray Charles. He was a conscious and conscientious individual.
Speaker 2: He cared about the legacy of music and also African
Speaker 2: American music art form. There's no way you can listen
Speaker 2: to the radio any day and not hear something that
Speaker 2: he touched. It's just not possible. It is not possible.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry that he's gone. I knew this time was
Speaker 2: going to come, and this is the only thing which
Speaker 2: made it difficult for me. I was introduced to Quincy
Speaker 2: Jones I want to say, maybe four or five years
Speaker 2: old as far as his music, not the person, but
Speaker 2: his music. My father introduced me to Quincy Jones. So
Speaker 2: I knew everything about Quincy Jones, from his professional history, everything,
Speaker 2: and I thought, today it's like, oh my goodness, Quincy
Speaker 2: Jones passed. Let me go tell my father. Oh man, Yeah,
