00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.080
Hello, this is Phineas J. Altaris III. I'm here

00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:10.900
to deliver your music news this evening. Faith

00:00:10.900 --> 00:00:13.460
No More and Mr. Bungle lead singer Mike Patton

00:00:13.460 --> 00:00:16.519
was falsely identified as a sexual predator in

00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:19.760
Ohio. A person that has Mike's same name confused

00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:22.460
Google AI and then identified the singer as the

00:00:22.460 --> 00:00:25.420
predator. Mike Patton, the singer, is working

00:00:25.420 --> 00:00:27.460
on getting the false information scrubbed off

00:00:27.460 --> 00:00:30.719
the internet. This is only the tip of the iceberg.

00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:36.899
This is Phineas J. Baltar S. III. That has been

00:00:36.899 --> 00:00:39.899
your music news for this evening. I have one

00:00:39.899 --> 00:00:42.899
burning question for you all. Do people really

00:00:42.899 --> 00:01:08.260
skip around the Maypole? All right, here we go.

00:01:08.260 --> 00:01:13.180
Kept it going a little longer that time. So let's

00:01:13.180 --> 00:01:17.120
get the table of contents. Okay. All right. I

00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:19.500
got a couple of stories about television and

00:01:19.500 --> 00:01:23.980
TV shows. I got a story about the piano outro

00:01:23.980 --> 00:01:29.319
on Layla. Cool. Controversy there. People I know

00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:34.920
I try to avoid. Uh -huh. And... Then I've got

00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.540
a story about a guitar factory in Indonesia with

00:01:38.540 --> 00:01:41.620
a sub -factory in China that makes an enormous

00:01:41.620 --> 00:01:45.480
variety of brands of guitars. So whatever name

00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:48.079
it says on the guitar, it's probably coming out

00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:50.420
of this factory if it's an import. It's surprising

00:01:50.420 --> 00:01:53.939
how many guitars are made there. So I'm kind

00:01:53.939 --> 00:01:57.159
of interested in that story. Okay. I have a unique

00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:02.719
story about ZZ Top. And then I have a bunch of...

00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:05.939
rock bands that are touring this year that you

00:02:05.939 --> 00:02:10.300
may not know about. Nice, nice. Just to interject,

00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:12.039
I think Alice Cooper has announced the final

00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:18.840
tour. Yes, he has. And that Gyasi Juice guy that

00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:22.039
he announced as his lead guitarist, it's when

00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:24.240
he's out with his original band, they use him.

00:02:24.580 --> 00:02:26.439
Oh, really? I didn't know that. So he's got his

00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:30.139
regular touring band with Nita and Tommy Hendrickson

00:02:30.139 --> 00:02:35.419
and Chuck Garrett and... Ryan Roxy, Glenn Sobel,

00:02:35.580 --> 00:02:37.840
who else? That's about it. But then when he tours

00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:42.180
with his original lineup from, you know, 67 through

00:02:42.180 --> 00:02:46.900
74, that's when he gets Yossi Juice to come play

00:02:46.900 --> 00:02:49.919
lead guitar. Okay, now it makes sense. Yeah,

00:02:49.979 --> 00:02:52.340
yeah. He was very unclear when he announced all.

00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:54.060
He's like, hey, here's my new lead guitarist.

00:02:54.060 --> 00:02:55.599
I thought, does that mean Nita Strauss is out?

00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:57.979
But different band. No, it's different band.

00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:00.840
It is funny how he does that, isn't it? Yeah.

00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:04.280
And also, I think some of it is Nita is touring

00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.620
herself and doing some other projects. I mean,

00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:09.500
all of them virtually are doing other things,

00:03:09.580 --> 00:03:13.099
too. I'm sorry, I interrupted your table of contents.

00:03:13.539 --> 00:03:18.520
Oh, okay. That's pretty much it. But, I mean,

00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.240
there's some stories that I have earmarked on

00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:23.099
my phone that I'm going to go look at that I

00:03:23.099 --> 00:03:26.900
want to talk about. So, there it will be, I guess.

00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.360
So, you're familiar with the long piano outro

00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:34.199
to Layla by Derek and the Dominoes, which is

00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:38.780
actually Eric Clapton. Yeah. It's different from

00:03:38.780 --> 00:03:41.240
the whole rest of the song, which I always thought

00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:43.520
was kind of odd. It's like, hey, these two don't

00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:45.960
really seem to go together. Well, it turns out

00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:49.620
that whole piano outro was a different song.

00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:54.300
And it was written by Rita Coolidge and her then

00:03:54.300 --> 00:03:57.900
-boyfriend, drummer Jim Gordon. And the song

00:03:57.900 --> 00:04:02.580
was called Time with something in parentheses

00:04:02.580 --> 00:04:05.139
like, you know, can't let it get away from me

00:04:05.139 --> 00:04:09.340
or something like that. And she played it for

00:04:09.340 --> 00:04:12.800
Eric Clapton. And he listened and thought, yeah,

00:04:12.860 --> 00:04:14.659
that's a good song. I really like it. Yeah, cool.

00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.480
And then he stole it and put it on the end of

00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:19.620
Layla and did not give her songwriting credits.

00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:23.259
That's about what I've been hearing about Clapton

00:04:23.259 --> 00:04:27.060
for a long time now. Yeah. So Rita Coolidge in

00:04:27.060 --> 00:04:34.680
a 2016 autobiography said that she went to Clapton's

00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:37.600
manager because the song came out and she heard

00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:39.779
that piano outro and the first thing she thought

00:04:39.779 --> 00:04:42.500
was, huh, I didn't give him permission to use

00:04:42.500 --> 00:04:45.220
my song. Let's go see if I got writing credits.

00:04:45.379 --> 00:04:48.480
And she didn't. So she went to Clapton's manager.

00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:52.120
and said, that's my song, I came up with it,

00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:55.879
and I want some credit on it. And she quoted

00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:59.639
Clapton's manager as saying, fuck off, you're

00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.180
just a girl, what are you going to do about it?

00:05:03.459 --> 00:05:06.740
Wow. What a pompous prick. Yeah, now that was

00:05:06.740 --> 00:05:10.199
Clapton's manager. So, she went to Eric Clapton,

00:05:10.259 --> 00:05:13.259
and he blew her off. He said, no, no, this is

00:05:13.259 --> 00:05:16.019
the way it is, and no, it's not changing, and

00:05:16.019 --> 00:05:18.500
you don't get credit. And he's had opportunities

00:05:18.500 --> 00:05:22.800
all this time, for decades, to give Rita Coolidge

00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:24.860
and Jim Gordon the credit they deserve for that

00:05:24.860 --> 00:05:29.480
end of Layla, and they won't do it. Yeah. Man,

00:05:29.540 --> 00:05:33.000
that's messed up. Isn't it? Yeah. So now when

00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.319
I listen to Layla and I hear that ending part

00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:37.920
came on, I say, thank you, Rita. Thank you, Jim.

00:05:38.379 --> 00:05:42.420
I shut it off. No, actually, I didn't know that.

00:05:42.420 --> 00:05:43.699
It's like, oh, mail her a dollar or something.

00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:46.740
Yeah, yeah, I didn't know that until now. What

00:05:46.740 --> 00:05:51.339
a, man, what a dick. Yeah. Wow. All right, I

00:05:51.339 --> 00:05:53.699
got a, is that it of that story? Yeah, that was

00:05:53.699 --> 00:05:56.959
it. I've got an interesting one here. ZZ Top,

00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:59.860
you may know it because you know a lot of interesting

00:05:59.860 --> 00:06:03.160
trivia and stuff like that. I never knew this.

00:06:03.180 --> 00:06:06.399
It caught me by surprise. The members of ZZ Top

00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:09.000
were offered an insane amount of money to shave

00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:12.699
their beards in the 80s. Wow. And they turned

00:06:12.699 --> 00:06:17.060
it down. Well, yeah, I guess so. Oh, wow, I wonder

00:06:17.060 --> 00:06:20.180
how much it was. I'm going to get to that. Billy

00:06:20.180 --> 00:06:22.879
Gibbons was asked about the rumor during a recent

00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:25.399
episode of Jay Moore's More Stories podcast,

00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:28.480
and The Rocker confirmed that it's true. According

00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:30.740
to Gibbons, the band was offered $1 million per

00:06:30.740 --> 00:06:34.699
member. This is in the 80s. Yeah, that's... One

00:06:34.699 --> 00:06:36.519
million per member. Being a millionaire meant

00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:38.600
a whole lot more back then. That's like 10 million

00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:40.839
now. They're offered a lot of money to do this.

00:06:41.579 --> 00:06:44.879
And to shave your beards on television by the

00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:48.699
mega razor brand Gillette. So Gillette was, what

00:06:48.699 --> 00:06:51.160
a great idea by Gillette. It's like, hey, we'll

00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:53.920
pay you all a million dollars to shave you on

00:06:53.920 --> 00:07:01.060
live TV with our razors. Billy Gibbons said they

00:07:01.060 --> 00:07:03.759
deny it to this day, but it's true. It was a

00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:06.399
million dollars per man. What he means by denying

00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:08.300
it is they didn't admit to a million dollars.

00:07:08.500 --> 00:07:10.399
They said, yeah, we're offering him some money.

00:07:10.420 --> 00:07:12.699
We don't know if it's a million. So they admit

00:07:12.699 --> 00:07:15.980
to offering him money. They didn't admit to offering

00:07:15.980 --> 00:07:18.779
him a million each. And why that is, I don't

00:07:18.779 --> 00:07:24.420
know. By receiving the offer, Gibbons called

00:07:24.420 --> 00:07:31.040
legendary rock publicist Bob Merrills He said,

00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:33.000
the money's good, you might as well consider

00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:38.139
it, but I'm not so sure of you guys know what's

00:07:38.139 --> 00:07:40.199
under there, is what he said. He's giving them

00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:42.879
shit, you know? Oh, yeah. The rocker recalled,

00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:46.699
Merlis told them, thus they turned it off for

00:07:46.699 --> 00:07:49.019
damn, but noticed that fans were really happy

00:07:49.019 --> 00:07:51.100
about the decision. Fans did not want them to

00:07:51.100 --> 00:07:53.829
shave it off. Yeah, that kind of would have signaled

00:07:53.829 --> 00:07:55.829
the end of their career as they knew it. Because

00:07:55.829 --> 00:07:57.930
they would have to reinvent their image all over

00:07:57.930 --> 00:08:00.410
again. Yes, I agree. And they would have irritated

00:08:00.410 --> 00:08:02.889
a lot of fans that liked the long beard look.

00:08:03.290 --> 00:08:07.050
Yeah. If they were on their way out and broke

00:08:07.050 --> 00:08:09.269
and nobody was paying attention, that would have

00:08:09.269 --> 00:08:10.790
made a lot of sense to take that offer. Yeah,

00:08:10.790 --> 00:08:13.569
but right there, they were balling hard. Eliminator

00:08:13.569 --> 00:08:16.810
was like a huge seller. Yeah. Well, see, Gillette

00:08:16.810 --> 00:08:19.209
did it when it made the offer when it would have

00:08:19.209 --> 00:08:21.730
worked out best for Gillette. Mm -hmm. It would

00:08:21.730 --> 00:08:26.449
have worked out horribly for ZZ Top. Their gimmick.

00:08:26.629 --> 00:08:29.170
I mean, they weren't a glam band in the 80s,

00:08:29.170 --> 00:08:32.629
but they hit big on the pop scene, and a lot

00:08:32.629 --> 00:08:34.750
of it was because of all their facial hair. People

00:08:34.750 --> 00:08:36.330
were going, who are these guys? They were different.

00:08:36.389 --> 00:08:39.610
They weren't pretty boys. Yeah. Yeah. That heavy,

00:08:39.750 --> 00:08:42.350
heavy blues -based rock. That blues, Billy Gibbons,

00:08:42.370 --> 00:08:46.289
blues stuff. He was really high gain. I mean,

00:08:46.309 --> 00:08:48.570
you don't think of ZZ Top as being high gain,

00:08:48.690 --> 00:08:52.639
but boy, they sure were. I forget what rig he

00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:55.620
used. He's got his own line of pickups now. He

00:08:55.620 --> 00:08:58.519
does. Is it PB? Yeah, Pearl Gates, made by Seymour

00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:00.059
Duncan. Oh, Pearl Gates. Pearl Gates, okay. Yeah.

00:09:00.100 --> 00:09:04.759
All right. Yeah, yeah, that's okay. Yeah. And

00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:08.720
then a lot of Eliminator, I think, was recorded

00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:11.480
on a guitar that looks a lot like your Jackson

00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:14.659
Flying B. That's right. With a high gain pickup.

00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:15.940
Yeah, yep, with a high gain pickup. He said it's

00:09:15.940 --> 00:09:19.070
uncomfortable to play and hold, but... That's

00:09:19.070 --> 00:09:21.610
the sound the engineer wants. It's like that

00:09:21.610 --> 00:09:23.330
and nothing else sounds like that. You got to

00:09:23.330 --> 00:09:27.269
use it. Yeah, I agree. It did very well, that's

00:09:27.269 --> 00:09:32.649
for sure. So, I agree with him. Go ahead, you

00:09:32.649 --> 00:09:37.250
got something. I've been watching a fair amount

00:09:37.250 --> 00:09:39.570
of TV lately. You know, this is music creeps

00:09:39.570 --> 00:09:44.120
branching out into pop culture. And it struck

00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:47.039
me the other day, I was watching the Andy Griffith

00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:50.679
show, which was like... Starring Andy Griffith,

00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:54.679
where did I? Yeah, yeah. That was so weird. That's

00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:57.279
amazing they found a guy with you. By the exact

00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:01.139
same name. But it was on from like 61 through

00:10:01.139 --> 00:10:05.259
68, something like that. It ran a long time.

00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:10.059
Yeah. There were shows prior to that like...

00:10:10.909 --> 00:10:12.909
I'll say the Dick Van Dyke Show was another popular

00:10:12.909 --> 00:10:16.750
sitcom in the late 50s, early 60s. Another one.

00:10:17.529 --> 00:10:20.210
Same name as the show. Yeah, it was amazing.

00:10:20.490 --> 00:10:22.929
How did they do this? Yeah, and the Steve Allen

00:10:22.929 --> 00:10:26.230
Show. Oh, shit, same thing. Yeah, this is like

00:10:26.230 --> 00:10:30.870
an amazing coincidence. Yeah. But they portrayed

00:10:30.870 --> 00:10:35.710
a squeaky clean version of Christian white America

00:10:35.710 --> 00:10:39.750
with high morals and totally patriotic. Yeah.

00:10:40.939 --> 00:10:43.360
one of the things that stood out the most was

00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.580
everybody had twin beds in the bedroom. Even

00:10:46.580 --> 00:10:48.840
if they'd been married for 40 years, they still

00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:52.500
had twin beds in the bedroom. I love Lucy. Most

00:10:52.500 --> 00:10:54.679
of those episodes were twin beds. Yeah, Dick

00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:57.580
Van Dyke, twin beds. And they were married in

00:10:57.580 --> 00:11:05.279
real life. Yeah, yeah. So a lot of people currently

00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:08.279
think that that's the way the 50s and 60s were.

00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:11.440
And they longed for the good old days when, you

00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.600
know, morals were high and everybody was, you

00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.580
know, behaving themselves. Uh -uh. It was still

00:11:16.580 --> 00:11:19.279
just as wild and chaotic back then as it is now.

00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:21.000
Yes, you just didn't hear about it. Yes. I mean,

00:11:21.019 --> 00:11:25.120
the 50s were a time of a lot of drug experimentation.

00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:27.899
They didn't have the synthetics that we do now.

00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.539
No, but, I mean, they still had the normal stuff.

00:11:32.379 --> 00:11:36.399
The acids, the mushrooms, all that. People tend

00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:38.379
to think it was like, you know, all of a sudden

00:11:38.379 --> 00:11:42.879
in 1967, hippies materialized out of nowhere.

00:11:42.980 --> 00:11:46.039
I know. And we had flower power. No, no, this

00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:48.919
is a long time coming, and people were just as

00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:55.019
raunchy and perverse and had just as many fetishes

00:11:55.019 --> 00:11:57.179
back then. It's just you never saw it represented,

00:11:57.299 --> 00:11:59.679
so you tend to think of that whole era as being

00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:02.019
squeaky clean. Oh, no, no, the whole of Hollywood

00:12:02.019 --> 00:12:05.360
was one big fucking orgy. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

00:12:05.500 --> 00:12:07.919
Yeah, back in the 30s, there was an actor named

00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:10.740
Fatty Arbuckle. Oh, yeah, yeah. Who allegedly

00:12:10.740 --> 00:12:13.799
had such rough sex with a young starlet that

00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:15.960
he ruptured her internal organs and she died.

00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:18.700
Yes. Allegedly. I don't know if that's true or

00:12:18.700 --> 00:12:21.379
not, but that's what I read, too. And he was

00:12:21.379 --> 00:12:24.919
30 anyhow. Yeah, I mean, there's porn from the

00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:28.100
30s and 40s. As soon as the camera was invented,

00:12:28.340 --> 00:12:32.240
somebody used it to make porn. Absolutely promise

00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:36.299
you it happened within 10 minutes. I love your

00:12:36.299 --> 00:12:39.200
point about how man horns up everything. Everything.

00:12:39.379 --> 00:12:41.559
And then there's different branches of it. Like,

00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:43.559
you ever watch Diners, Dive -Ins, and Dives?

00:12:43.700 --> 00:12:46.080
Uh -huh. That's food porn. Yeah. And I'm not

00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.700
joking. No. It is. And every Yellowstone and

00:12:50.700 --> 00:12:55.480
spinoff from Yellowstone is drama porn. You know,

00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:57.620
it's for people addicted to drama and they want

00:12:57.620 --> 00:12:59.740
to wallow in it. And it's like, yeah, you know,

00:12:59.740 --> 00:13:02.080
that's fine. I'm not putting it down that you

00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:04.759
don't think of it. as anything other than what

00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:07.480
it is. No, I'm not a guy that doesn't want anything

00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:11.340
ended that I don't necessarily agree with or

00:13:11.340 --> 00:13:13.220
whatever. It's like, no, they're fine doing it.

00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:15.179
I don't care. It doesn't bother me or anybody

00:13:15.179 --> 00:13:17.399
else that I know of. Yeah. You know, unless you're

00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:20.720
using minors or sex trafficking or something,

00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:23.000
that's different. But just, you know, this stuff,

00:13:23.179 --> 00:13:25.340
want partaking of it, that's fine. I don't care.

00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:32.200
Whatever. Yeah. And I also noticed MTV and their...

00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:39.159
affiliate channels and everything they show RuPaul's

00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:41.919
Drag Race as one of their shows so they advertise

00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:44.940
it on every one of their channels all day and

00:13:44.940 --> 00:13:46.879
there was a show the other day my wife and I

00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:49.139
were watching and every single commercial break

00:13:49.139 --> 00:13:52.820
started with the exact same commercial for RuPaul's

00:13:52.820 --> 00:13:56.590
Drag Race And after a couple, three times, I

00:13:56.590 --> 00:13:58.830
turned to my wife and said, wow, they're really

00:13:58.830 --> 00:14:01.230
promoting the heck out of that. She said, yeah,

00:14:01.429 --> 00:14:04.129
it must not have good ratings if they're really

00:14:04.129 --> 00:14:07.330
pushing it this hard. They have been. Yeah. I

00:14:07.330 --> 00:14:09.690
got one for you here real quick. I had one more

00:14:09.690 --> 00:14:11.929
little bit on that. Okay, sorry. But I watched

00:14:11.929 --> 00:14:16.470
the promo, and the drag queens, it's also interesting

00:14:16.470 --> 00:14:18.990
that they constantly refer to them as queens

00:14:18.990 --> 00:14:21.929
to try to buff up their image and ego, which

00:14:21.929 --> 00:14:26.460
is pretty obvious. But they don't dress as women.

00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:31.480
They dress as bizarre creatures. They don't even

00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:34.100
look human anymore. And I thought, has it always

00:14:34.100 --> 00:14:36.379
been this way? So I found, they're on like season

00:14:36.379 --> 00:14:40.860
15 or 16. I went back and found some episodes

00:14:40.860 --> 00:14:44.580
from season 4, and they looked like women. Back

00:14:44.580 --> 00:14:46.360
then, they looked like very stylish, attractive

00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:49.919
women. And somewhere along the way, they became

00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:53.029
just these bizarre creatures with... All sorts

00:14:53.029 --> 00:14:55.350
of weird stuff sticking out from their costume,

00:14:55.549 --> 00:14:59.029
faces painted like it's the Kabuki theater. I

00:14:59.029 --> 00:15:02.370
mean, they make Kiss's facial makeup look tame

00:15:02.370 --> 00:15:06.009
and amateur. Wow. And it's like, how did they

00:15:06.009 --> 00:15:08.009
evolve into that? You know, there's obviously

00:15:08.009 --> 00:15:11.830
a market that wants that. And everyone else just

00:15:11.830 --> 00:15:15.039
bailed. But it's just really weird. Did they

00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:17.440
always want to be that, or are they just chasing

00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:19.000
whatever the audience says they want? I think

00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:20.600
they're chasing what the audience wants. That

00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:24.460
was kind of my impression, too. Yeah. Okay, well,

00:15:24.659 --> 00:15:28.360
interesting. Funny how things change. Oh, it

00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:30.919
is. Here's something I noticed. I forgot to.

00:15:31.700 --> 00:15:35.519
I actually brought a write -up about it, but

00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:37.220
I'm just going to try to do it by memory now.

00:15:37.820 --> 00:15:42.190
At work, one of the guys that I work with, He

00:15:42.190 --> 00:15:49.490
has this AI DJ. Oh, wow. Yeah, and it's okay.

00:15:49.870 --> 00:15:52.649
I mean, he's somewhat entertaining, not really

00:15:52.649 --> 00:15:56.470
entertaining. Listen to it for five days straight.

00:15:57.529 --> 00:16:00.830
He would never mention an artist unless it was

00:16:00.830 --> 00:16:05.309
Kendrick Lamar. Wow. They must be getting paid

00:16:05.309 --> 00:16:09.149
to mention Kendrick Lamar. Oh, yeah. Because

00:16:09.149 --> 00:16:13.929
nothing, I mean... Let's say Biggie comes on.

00:16:14.090 --> 00:16:20.830
Okay, cool. Yep, he's dead. So they talk about

00:16:20.830 --> 00:16:24.250
him, but not by name. No, they don't say him

00:16:24.250 --> 00:16:28.850
by name. They'll say like, you know what, I'm

00:16:28.850 --> 00:16:32.509
not really good about the R &B stuff. But he'll

00:16:32.509 --> 00:16:34.970
say the name of the song, but won't say the artist.

00:16:35.590 --> 00:16:39.830
And this is an AI -generated DJ. Yeah, and he'll

00:16:39.830 --> 00:16:42.509
say things like, you know, his album, this, or,

00:16:42.610 --> 00:16:45.730
you know. Yes. It's always the pronouns, his

00:16:45.730 --> 00:16:47.850
or their. The one that got me was, like, Biggie

00:16:47.850 --> 00:16:51.210
Smalls, and it was one of his biggest hits, if

00:16:51.210 --> 00:16:53.350
you don't know, you know, how you know that.

00:16:53.470 --> 00:16:55.799
I can't think of the name of it, but... I didn't

00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:57.700
pay much attention to it. Everybody knows Mickey

00:16:57.700 --> 00:17:00.080
Smalls. Even people like me that aren't that

00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:03.240
really affluent in R &B knows. I mean, I loved

00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:05.980
R &B in the 60s and 70s, but then it changed

00:17:05.980 --> 00:17:08.220
into what it is now. I'm not that big of a fan.

00:17:08.579 --> 00:17:11.839
No, but back in the day, it was some of the best

00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:16.220
music ever recorded. Oh, yeah. So, and I'm like

00:17:16.220 --> 00:17:18.140
going, wow, that's so interesting. I didn't mention

00:17:18.140 --> 00:17:21.160
him. And then they went on to other stuff, you

00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:23.799
know, people that are extreme, you know, that

00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:26.200
were... well known like biggie you know yeah

00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:28.599
uh and they wouldn't mention their name either

00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:31.240
but i noticed any day i heard the name kendrick

00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:34.059
lamar probably seven times when they went to

00:17:34.059 --> 00:17:37.339
one of his songs wow but he is the only artist

00:17:37.339 --> 00:17:41.119
that they named by name only no one else it was

00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:43.619
just like uh that was uh so and so and they just

00:17:43.619 --> 00:17:47.259
named the song yeah that's it so there must be

00:17:47.259 --> 00:17:50.759
a pay level in there yeah yeah we'll play you

00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:53.099
on our whatever his service i don't even know

00:17:53.099 --> 00:17:57.880
what his service was We'll play you on the service,

00:17:57.960 --> 00:17:59.720
but we're not going to say your name unless you

00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:02.059
give us some money. Yeah, it's kind of like what

00:18:02.059 --> 00:18:05.779
search engines do. It used to be you could pay

00:18:05.779 --> 00:18:07.640
to get your name put in the top of the list.

00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:10.460
Now you have to pay to get your search results

00:18:10.460 --> 00:18:14.039
even shown at all. A good way to test that is

00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:19.319
have two windows open and call up a different

00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:22.319
search engine from Google. and type in the exact

00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:25.039
same thing on each search engine and scroll past

00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:28.000
the sponsored results and see things in the other

00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:30.039
search engine that Google will never show you

00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:32.980
because they're not paid. Well, I'll put it like

00:18:32.980 --> 00:18:34.920
this, okay? Let's say you're looking up cruises,

00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:37.259
okay? The other day I was looking up cruises

00:18:37.259 --> 00:18:38.759
and I was like, you know, there's this one that

00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:42.299
Norwegian does from Puerto Rico that we're just

00:18:42.299 --> 00:18:46.839
in love with. Yeah. So I Googled NCL. Yeah. That

00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:49.500
should take you right to Norwegian. It took me

00:18:49.500 --> 00:18:52.140
to this thing called Cruise Addicts or something

00:18:52.140 --> 00:18:55.400
like that. And it would do that every time. I

00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:58.559
got to scroll down four before I find NCO. And

00:18:58.559 --> 00:19:02.180
I was just like, what the hell? I asked for NCO.

00:19:02.180 --> 00:19:04.700
I didn't ask for anything else. It showed me

00:19:04.700 --> 00:19:09.900
how I could book NCO, but not with NCO. And truth

00:19:09.900 --> 00:19:13.519
be told, my oldest son, Louis, my oldest biological

00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:17.589
son, That's what he does for a job now. He makes

00:19:17.589 --> 00:19:21.710
your web page appear higher. Just through normal

00:19:21.710 --> 00:19:23.849
searches and then of course the pay factor. I

00:19:23.849 --> 00:19:26.930
bet he loves that. He's really good at it too.

00:19:27.609 --> 00:19:29.690
You get all the group of all the people who are

00:19:29.690 --> 00:19:31.829
paying to get their name show up and then you

00:19:31.829 --> 00:19:34.430
still want to stand out above them. So that's

00:19:34.430 --> 00:19:38.069
what he does. He does whatever it takes to the

00:19:38.069 --> 00:19:44.130
website to make it I'll bet he's in high demand,

00:19:44.130 --> 00:19:49.029
isn't he? Yeah, he was let go from a different

00:19:49.029 --> 00:19:52.150
job where he's writing articles, and they cut

00:19:52.150 --> 00:19:54.630
everyone back, and then they started paying less

00:19:54.630 --> 00:19:56.569
for the articles, and then they finally just

00:19:56.569 --> 00:19:58.529
laid him off. That's been going on forever. Yeah,

00:19:58.549 --> 00:20:01.569
because AI is taking over writing all the articles.

00:20:02.410 --> 00:20:05.109
So he's now doing this, and he's got a sideline

00:20:05.109 --> 00:20:09.410
making top ten lists and things like that, which

00:20:09.410 --> 00:20:13.380
AI isn't all that good at. So that's his niche

00:20:13.380 --> 00:20:16.119
now, and he's making about as much as he did

00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:18.720
before, and I think he was unemployed for about

00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:22.779
10 days. Yep. Well, that's what happens when

00:20:22.779 --> 00:20:25.920
you go to school for the right thing. Yeah, yeah.

00:20:26.059 --> 00:20:29.000
And in the meantime, he picked up a job at JCPenney

00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:32.380
for seasonal work around the holidays, and he's

00:20:32.380 --> 00:20:34.119
impressing them so much that they want to keep

00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:37.160
him on after the holidays. He's like, cool, because

00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:39.400
he does his other job from home. So it's like,

00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:42.160
well, this way I can get out and do a part -time

00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:45.119
job out of the house and see people, which for

00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:47.200
an autistic guy is pretty awesome. Yeah, that

00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:52.880
is. Yeah. Very much so. Okay. All right. You

00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:57.940
got something else? Yeah. I was looking up trivia

00:20:57.940 --> 00:21:01.140
on a TV show I've been watching. I've been watching

00:21:01.140 --> 00:21:05.150
past episodes of Scrubs. Because they're kind

00:21:05.150 --> 00:21:07.670
of doing a reboot of that. That was a great show,

00:21:07.750 --> 00:21:12.630
too. It was. It was on during Friends and Seinfeld.

00:21:12.849 --> 00:21:16.150
So we never did get the love and dessert because

00:21:16.150 --> 00:21:20.029
those two were the standouts at Frasier. That's

00:21:20.029 --> 00:21:23.109
when NBC was balling hard. Everybody was watching

00:21:23.109 --> 00:21:27.630
them. They eventually moved to ABC, I think,

00:21:27.630 --> 00:21:30.579
in one season. They did, and then they went away.

00:21:31.259 --> 00:21:33.079
They're doing a reboot. Who's doing a reboot?

00:21:33.460 --> 00:21:37.480
I think Judy Reyes, who played Nurse Carla, and

00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:40.619
John C. McGinley, who played Dr. Perry Cox. I

00:21:40.619 --> 00:21:42.700
think they're both back on board. Okay, that's

00:21:42.700 --> 00:21:46.519
good. That's a good start. And I think Zach Braff

00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:49.019
and Donald Faison, who played J .D. and Turk,

00:21:49.180 --> 00:21:51.859
I think they're on board, too. Okay. Which, you

00:21:51.859 --> 00:21:53.980
kind of got to need them, because they were the

00:21:53.980 --> 00:21:57.339
co -leads, the co -male leads. And the co -female

00:21:57.339 --> 00:22:00.160
leads were Judy Reyes as Nurse Carla and Sarah

00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:04.940
Chalk as Ellie Green. Yeah, good. Okay. It's

00:22:04.940 --> 00:22:08.240
also interesting, as a side note, to see how

00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:13.839
inappropriate sexual harassment humor was just...

00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:16.720
super common in the script and nobody thought

00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:19.519
a thing of it. I remember it was a real horny

00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:23.140
-esque show. Yeah, yeah. They did all sorts of

00:22:23.140 --> 00:22:25.599
things that nowadays you would not be able to

00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:29.140
get away with. There was some episode with panties

00:22:29.140 --> 00:22:30.839
in it. I can't remember what it was, but I remember

00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:33.619
back then I was like, when they're doing this,

00:22:33.660 --> 00:22:37.900
this is like really risque for a primetime 7

00:22:37.900 --> 00:22:40.880
.30, 8 o 'clock show on a Wednesday night. One

00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:44.379
thing that really struck me, pun intended, was,

00:22:44.379 --> 00:22:47.720
for a while, Tara Reid was on the show as J .D.'s

00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:51.420
girlfriend. And she liked it rough, and she kept

00:22:51.420 --> 00:22:53.700
taunting him, and eventually they showed him

00:22:53.700 --> 00:22:56.799
on camera just clocking her right on the jaw

00:22:56.799 --> 00:22:59.799
with a closed fist. And she went flying backwards

00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:02.299
on the bed, and he was like, oh, oh my god, was

00:23:02.299 --> 00:23:04.200
that too hard? And she said, no, I loved it.

00:23:04.259 --> 00:23:06.279
And then she reached up and twisted both of his

00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:08.619
nipples almost completely off his chest. Oh!

00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:11.400
And I thought, well, the nipple -twisting part

00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:13.339
they would show nowadays, but they would never,

00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:16.380
ever make a new show where a man is hitting a

00:23:16.380 --> 00:23:19.759
woman, even if she's asking him to. Which she

00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:23.059
was. She was prodding and pushing and taunting

00:23:23.059 --> 00:23:25.220
him to hit her, which he finally did. Daddy issues,

00:23:25.420 --> 00:23:29.759
yes. So that was like, wow, that was eye -opening.

00:23:29.779 --> 00:23:32.420
That's amazing, wow, wow. But when I was looking

00:23:32.420 --> 00:23:35.920
up the trivia of the episode... They said that

00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:39.400
not every main star was in every single episode.

00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:42.539
And I thought, well, that's weird. Like the final

00:23:42.539 --> 00:23:44.980
season, J .D. was missing from three episodes.

00:23:45.740 --> 00:23:48.240
Sarah Chalk was missing from three. And then

00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:50.380
here and there throughout the series. I actually

00:23:50.380 --> 00:23:52.539
remember some of that. That's when the show started

00:23:52.539 --> 00:23:57.519
declining considerably. And, you know, that is

00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:02.079
a direct reflection of budget cuts. Actors get

00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:05.079
paid by the episode that they appear in, not

00:24:05.079 --> 00:24:08.259
for the whole season. So, you know, say you're

00:24:08.259 --> 00:24:12.119
paying this actor $150 ,000 per episode, and

00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:16.480
you cut him from six episodes, then that's $900

00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:19.259
,000. You don't have to pay him. So that's a

00:24:19.259 --> 00:24:21.819
real easy way for a show whose budget is declining

00:24:21.819 --> 00:24:24.720
to save money. It's just, eh, you sit this episode

00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:29.410
out. You'll also see a lot more of what they

00:24:29.410 --> 00:24:32.170
call the B -roll. Anything that doesn't have

00:24:32.170 --> 00:24:35.849
the main actors in it is B -roll. Like the exterior

00:24:35.849 --> 00:24:38.849
of the coffee shop or the interior of the office

00:24:38.849 --> 00:24:43.589
hallway. Or you see a patient on the operating

00:24:43.589 --> 00:24:45.730
table and you see two sets of hands and they're

00:24:45.730 --> 00:24:47.630
operating, but you don't see the faces of the

00:24:47.630 --> 00:24:50.549
stars. So they're not using the stars. Stuff

00:24:50.549 --> 00:24:53.230
like that is super easy to film, super cheap

00:24:53.230 --> 00:24:57.789
to film. You'll also tend to see a lot more flashbacks

00:24:57.789 --> 00:25:00.910
happening, because that's free footage that they

00:25:00.910 --> 00:25:03.349
already paid for. Now they can pad out the current

00:25:03.349 --> 00:25:10.789
episode with the flashbacks. And something that

00:25:10.789 --> 00:25:13.490
I noticed specifically with the show House, they

00:25:13.490 --> 00:25:16.470
started out doing 24 episodes a season, and by

00:25:16.470 --> 00:25:20.309
the end they were doing, I think, 18. So there

00:25:20.309 --> 00:25:22.970
were six whole episodes they didn't have to...

00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:27.779
pay to make, and they would run reruns in those

00:25:27.779 --> 00:25:29.960
slots, which would generally make just about

00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:32.240
as much money as the new episode. That was smart,

00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:34.519
because people have it on there, and then they

00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:36.779
show reruns. People usually say, oh, I'll watch

00:25:36.779 --> 00:25:40.819
it again. Yep, yep. So when I start seeing a

00:25:40.819 --> 00:25:44.359
show having fewer new episodes and more reruns,

00:25:44.539 --> 00:25:46.660
you can bet it's either going to change network

00:25:46.660 --> 00:25:49.099
or get canceled, one of the two. Because that's

00:25:49.099 --> 00:25:52.200
one of the things they do as a lifeboat. Yeah.

00:25:52.700 --> 00:25:55.319
And then the last thing was where they show only

00:25:55.319 --> 00:26:00.339
one actor on the screen at a time. Like if somebody

00:26:00.339 --> 00:26:02.180
were here filming this podcast, you're sitting

00:26:02.180 --> 00:26:03.799
on that side of the table, I'm sitting on this

00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:06.119
side. And we're having a conversation, and when

00:26:06.119 --> 00:26:08.299
you speak, the camera would be showing you, and

00:26:08.299 --> 00:26:10.839
only you. And then when I was speaking, it would

00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:13.619
be showing me, and only me. When they do that

00:26:13.619 --> 00:26:16.299
on TV shows... They only have one person there

00:26:16.299 --> 00:26:18.539
at a time. They put the camera on them and they

00:26:18.539 --> 00:26:20.759
say all their lines. And somebody off -screen

00:26:20.759 --> 00:26:22.799
is saying the response lines, blah, blah, blah,

00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:26.539
blah. It goes a lot faster. Because if someone

00:26:26.539 --> 00:26:28.559
makes a mistake, all you have to do is just do

00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:30.839
that again. Okay, do that again. But if you're

00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:33.000
filming it live with both of them talking back

00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:34.880
and forth, any mistake, you've got to start all

00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:38.039
over at the top. So this way, you just splice

00:26:38.039 --> 00:26:40.019
it together in post -production. It looks like

00:26:40.019 --> 00:26:41.519
they were both sitting here at the table at the

00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:43.740
same time talking to each other, but they never

00:26:43.740 --> 00:26:48.089
were. and that also saves a crap ton of money

00:26:48.089 --> 00:26:51.349
because you can do it faster and you can have

00:26:51.349 --> 00:26:53.710
that other star somewhere else filming their

00:26:53.710 --> 00:26:58.069
scenes so when I start seeing that it's like

00:26:58.069 --> 00:27:03.089
oh this show is keeping out there's very few

00:27:03.089 --> 00:27:05.450
ensemble shots and it's always just one person

00:27:05.450 --> 00:27:08.190
plus the extras and then oh there's the other

00:27:08.190 --> 00:27:12.630
star plus the extras say goodbye to that show

00:27:13.400 --> 00:27:19.339
We're trying to save money. Wow. Okay. Are you

00:27:19.339 --> 00:27:22.759
done with that? Yep. All right. I got some tours

00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:26.539
that are coming up in 2026. Yay. And you're going

00:27:26.539 --> 00:27:28.799
to be, I was surprised that so many people are

00:27:28.799 --> 00:27:34.180
going on tour this year. Sting. Oh, wow. Sting

00:27:34.180 --> 00:27:38.799
3 .0 tour runs May 6th through November 24th.

00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:41.619
So all year. Yeah, that's a big chunk of the

00:27:41.619 --> 00:27:44.509
year. That is. And, you know, good for him taking

00:27:44.509 --> 00:27:48.230
the holidays off. Yeah, yeah. I wonder if Vinnie

00:27:48.230 --> 00:27:50.569
Kaliuta, the drummer, is still in his backup

00:27:50.569 --> 00:27:53.809
band. Because he's an amazing, amazing drummer.

00:27:54.329 --> 00:27:56.609
I remember him, yeah. He played with Zappa and

00:27:56.609 --> 00:27:58.650
a bunch of others. I think he got a start with

00:27:58.650 --> 00:28:01.549
Zappa. And he was interviewed once saying, you

00:28:01.549 --> 00:28:03.230
know, whose music would you be happy playing

00:28:03.230 --> 00:28:04.930
the rest of your life? And he said, Stingwood.

00:28:05.890 --> 00:28:07.789
Anytime he wants me, I'm always there. I love

00:28:07.789 --> 00:28:09.569
his music, and I could happily play that for

00:28:09.569 --> 00:28:11.630
the rest of my life. So if Vinnie Kaliuta hasn't

00:28:11.630 --> 00:28:14.059
retired... then we're probably going to see him

00:28:14.059 --> 00:28:15.259
in his backup. Yeah, I guess he could have retired.

00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:16.859
I didn't even think about that. I don't know

00:28:16.859 --> 00:28:19.160
what his health's like or anything. No. Okay.

00:28:19.420 --> 00:28:25.519
Amazing, amazing drummer. Joe Jackson. Oh, I

00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:30.180
love Joe Jackson. Hope and Fury Tour runs May

00:28:30.180 --> 00:28:32.920
11th through July 18th, so it's not that long

00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:37.089
of a tour. No, no. Wow, I hope he makes a video

00:28:37.089 --> 00:28:39.230
because I doubt he's coming anywhere close enough

00:28:39.230 --> 00:28:41.970
for me to go to. Same here, I know. That's why

00:28:41.970 --> 00:28:44.769
I just wanted to say that name and see you. Yeah.

00:28:44.890 --> 00:28:46.569
I couldn't wait. I was like, okay, all right.

00:28:46.710 --> 00:28:49.690
I've got a Joe Jackson's Greatest Hits. I listen

00:28:49.690 --> 00:28:52.130
to that so often. Everything on it is just excellent.

00:28:52.430 --> 00:28:55.009
Really good. It's so good. Yeah, I would agree.

00:28:55.410 --> 00:28:57.970
Well, he's probably not going anywhere near us.

00:28:59.150 --> 00:29:01.490
Coincidentally, though, you know, I got tickets.

00:29:01.650 --> 00:29:03.829
Right now Val's going, but she may change her

00:29:03.829 --> 00:29:10.430
mind. he's coming to knuckleheads oh nice when

00:29:10.430 --> 00:29:14.210
he was rained out not last August August before

00:29:14.210 --> 00:29:18.009
in Sedalia I sent him a message because I'm on

00:29:18.009 --> 00:29:20.690
his Instagram and he's answered some stuff before

00:29:20.690 --> 00:29:23.049
and I told him I said hey I said they went on

00:29:23.049 --> 00:29:25.170
to Denver though because the next show is in

00:29:25.170 --> 00:29:27.410
Denver so they got paid for it because there's

00:29:27.410 --> 00:29:30.269
insurance they just went on but I told him I

00:29:30.269 --> 00:29:32.319
said hey You could probably book knuckleheads

00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:34.720
tomorrow. They do this all the time. He didn't

00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:37.900
answer. He's on the road, but here it is a year

00:29:37.900 --> 00:29:39.859
and a half later, they're booked at knuckleheads.

00:29:40.279 --> 00:29:42.640
Everybody plays knuckleheads. Man, I've seen

00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:45.079
natural acts. I've seen local acts. I've seen

00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:47.779
acts you've never heard of before. And the fun

00:29:47.779 --> 00:29:49.759
thing for me is when I go down to do the open

00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:51.880
jam, I get to play on the same stage they did.

00:29:51.940 --> 00:29:54.500
Isn't that cool? That's just so awesome. Oh,

00:29:54.500 --> 00:29:56.460
but what I was going to add is Val changes her

00:29:56.460 --> 00:29:58.940
mind. If you want to go, I'll let you know. Oh,

00:29:58.940 --> 00:30:01.170
yeah, definitely, definitely. You may want to

00:30:01.170 --> 00:30:04.349
go anyhow. I mean, that guy's amazing. Davey

00:30:04.349 --> 00:30:06.809
and I watched him with the Dead Daisies, and

00:30:06.809 --> 00:30:11.069
I tried to watch him in Sedalia, but his, he,

00:30:11.269 --> 00:30:16.569
that, the notes he can hit still, and his falsetto,

00:30:16.569 --> 00:30:18.509
and everything else. It's the musician ship.

00:30:18.690 --> 00:30:21.269
Oh my gosh, yeah, that one played perfect bass.

00:30:22.029 --> 00:30:24.349
But me and Davey was looking at him, and he was

00:30:24.349 --> 00:30:27.529
like the epitome of a rock star. Everything was

00:30:27.529 --> 00:30:29.230
perfect, all the way down to his fingernails

00:30:29.230 --> 00:30:31.509
being painted different colors. Yeah. To the

00:30:31.509 --> 00:30:33.910
scarves he was wearing, like a Steven Tyler type

00:30:33.910 --> 00:30:36.029
of thing. Wow. To the pants he was wearing. Hey,

00:30:36.029 --> 00:30:38.849
my fellow heavy breathers, this is Dash Riptide

00:30:38.849 --> 00:30:44.869
with your music news. Glenn Hughes, the legendary

00:30:44.869 --> 00:30:49.769
bassist, lead singer of many, many great bands,

00:30:49.930 --> 00:30:53.779
such as Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Black Country

00:30:53.779 --> 00:30:57.759
Communion, California Breed, and so on and so

00:30:57.759 --> 00:31:01.200
on. He had a U .S. tour planned for this April.

00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:04.039
Glenn unfortunately had to cancel due to what

00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:06.599
had been described as a minor medical issue.

00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:09.700
I already had seats for legendary rocker Knuckleheads,

00:31:09.839 --> 00:31:13.039
but like most times, I try to see him and it

00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:16.160
gets canceled. Glenn, I love you, but no more.

00:31:16.400 --> 00:31:20.039
Third time getting jerked is enough. We do wish

00:31:20.039 --> 00:31:22.200
you a full and speedy recovery, and hopefully

00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:25.160
a full and speedy recovery of my fucking money.

00:31:25.539 --> 00:31:30.559
Again, sorry, not sorry. This is Gash Ruktine,

00:31:30.660 --> 00:31:33.960
and that was your music news. If it's too loud,

00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:44.640
you probably have ear damage, just like me. I

00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:46.940
mean, it was just, you look at that guy, you

00:31:46.940 --> 00:31:49.599
go, that guy has it fucking going. That is a

00:31:49.599 --> 00:31:52.339
rock star right there. Besides him being so good.

00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:56.200
Yeah. And he's like 74, 75, and he's still seen.

00:31:56.299 --> 00:31:59.220
Yeah. Every bit as good as he ever could. Yeah,

00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:01.500
he's the same age as Pete Carroll, and I think

00:32:01.500 --> 00:32:05.740
his career is on the rise. I think so too. As

00:32:05.740 --> 00:32:07.460
long as we're sort of talking about Deep Purple.

00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:10.380
Yeah. I saw a reaction video the other day to

00:32:10.380 --> 00:32:13.380
Deep Purple performing a live version of Child

00:32:13.380 --> 00:32:16.140
in Time. Oh. That was Ian Gilliam, wasn't it?

00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:19.599
Yes. Yeah. The guy doing the reaction video kept

00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:22.380
stopping it, you know, when you do those real

00:32:22.380 --> 00:32:25.559
high vocal parts. He's like, wait a minute, and

00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:27.380
he'd back it up and listen again. He's like,

00:32:27.480 --> 00:32:30.779
oh, my God. They kept changing the dynamics.

00:32:30.779 --> 00:32:33.200
He was utterly blown away. That was like 1970,

00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:36.519
wasn't it? Yes. He was just totally blown away

00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:39.720
by it. Child in Time is such a fantastic song,

00:32:39.859 --> 00:32:43.000
but it was like 12 minutes long. It would have

00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:45.500
been so amazing to see that live. Oh, I know.

00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:48.079
Oh, that would have been so good to see. And

00:32:48.079 --> 00:32:50.259
they did play it live. Oh, yeah. It was a video

00:32:50.259 --> 00:32:52.980
of a live performance. And it was funny, the

00:32:52.980 --> 00:32:54.960
crowd just sitting there like they were frozen.

00:32:55.200 --> 00:32:57.420
Because I think it was a television studio and

00:32:57.420 --> 00:32:59.220
they just had a crowd come in and sit while they

00:32:59.220 --> 00:33:00.779
played it. They're like, how is this guy doing

00:33:00.779 --> 00:33:03.859
that? That's why he was chosen by Andrew Lloyd

00:33:03.859 --> 00:33:07.619
Webber to do Jesus Christ Superstar. Yeah. The

00:33:07.619 --> 00:33:11.500
rumor is... Andrew Lloyd Webber heard that voice,

00:33:11.660 --> 00:33:14.019
and he goes, who is that? And they're like, well,

00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:15.259
wait a minute, wait a minute. This isn't the

00:33:15.259 --> 00:33:17.519
guy you want. He goes, no, that's the guy I want.

00:33:17.700 --> 00:33:20.180
Yeah, I've got the soundtrack to Jesus Christ

00:33:20.180 --> 00:33:22.440
Superstar, and you can hear him wailing all over

00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:24.779
that. When I remember first time hearing it,

00:33:24.819 --> 00:33:27.299
I was probably, well, I was in grade school,

00:33:27.380 --> 00:33:30.660
so I was under 12. And I was just really stunned,

00:33:30.819 --> 00:33:32.700
number one, that a guy could sing like that,

00:33:32.740 --> 00:33:34.819
and that high, and that warbly, and number two,

00:33:34.859 --> 00:33:38.619
that other people found that desirable and wanted

00:33:38.619 --> 00:33:41.460
to hear it. It's like, wow. It's like people

00:33:41.460 --> 00:33:43.579
are like me and think this is awesome. Yeah,

00:33:43.579 --> 00:33:45.079
because usually they don't hear that. And it's

00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:47.119
like, well, usually this gets made fun of, but

00:33:47.119 --> 00:33:50.400
I think it's pretty cool. Well, that's one of

00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:52.119
those songs, it doesn't matter what it is, the

00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:55.559
talent is undeniable. Yeah, there are bands that

00:33:55.559 --> 00:33:57.700
are amazingly talented, but I just really kind

00:33:57.700 --> 00:34:00.420
of don't like their music. But I give them all

00:34:00.420 --> 00:34:02.440
the respect for how amazing they are at their

00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:05.619
instruments. It's just kind of not my thing,

00:34:05.619 --> 00:34:08.119
and that's okay. And that was funny because Andrew

00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:11.300
Lloyd Webber was, you know, he was a music score

00:34:11.300 --> 00:34:14.059
guy and all that, you know. And people didn't

00:34:14.059 --> 00:34:17.099
think that he would want this metal, if you say,

00:34:17.139 --> 00:34:18.860
guy. And he was like, no, that's the guy I want.

00:34:18.920 --> 00:34:21.780
He's got that range. Yeah. And it turns out he

00:34:21.780 --> 00:34:23.679
did perfectly. And it was supposed to be a rock

00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:26.880
and roll musical about the last days of Jesus

00:34:26.880 --> 00:34:32.320
Christ. Yeah. So, yeah. All right. Heart. Wow.

00:34:33.099 --> 00:34:35.280
February 15th through March 15th, so don't get

00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:38.519
excited. Well, I had heard Ann Wilson's been

00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:40.360
having some health issues, but she's feeling

00:34:40.360 --> 00:34:42.460
pretty good now, so a short tour is probably

00:34:42.460 --> 00:34:46.340
best for her. I think so, too. Again, I hope

00:34:46.340 --> 00:34:48.960
all of these bands are making concert videos,

00:34:49.179 --> 00:34:52.280
because I want to see them all. Yeah, I agree.

00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:57.460
How about the Las Vegas residency at the Eagles

00:34:57.460 --> 00:35:00.920
at the Las Vegas Sphere? January through March.

00:35:00.940 --> 00:35:04.179
January 23rd through March 28th. Who cares? Fuck

00:35:04.179 --> 00:35:07.099
them. I have nothing I want to say. I can't stand

00:35:07.099 --> 00:35:09.619
them. Everything I hear about the Eagles is just

00:35:09.619 --> 00:35:14.940
they're just bad people. And they screw their

00:35:14.940 --> 00:35:17.960
fans over with enormous ticket prices and snotty

00:35:17.960 --> 00:35:20.659
attitudes. I will never get over how much they're

00:35:20.659 --> 00:35:23.559
charging and their attitude. Fuck them. No. Now,

00:35:23.579 --> 00:35:25.699
this is one of those bands where they play really

00:35:25.699 --> 00:35:27.980
well and they write really nice songs, but as

00:35:27.980 --> 00:35:29.719
human beings, I don't want to be in the same

00:35:29.719 --> 00:35:35.519
room with them. No, I agree. Same here. Joan

00:35:35.519 --> 00:35:39.340
Jett at the House of Blues. Nice. February 13th

00:35:39.340 --> 00:35:43.300
through the 21st. Is that in Chicago? I think

00:35:43.300 --> 00:35:45.760
there is one in Chicago. I think it might be.

00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:47.800
It doesn't say exactly which one, but it would

00:35:47.800 --> 00:35:49.760
make sense. Yeah, it would make sense to be in

00:35:49.760 --> 00:35:52.949
Chicago. Probably Chicago. Yeah. I wonder if

00:35:52.949 --> 00:35:54.250
she's going to have the Blackhearts with her.

00:35:55.829 --> 00:35:58.110
Doesn't say. Might just be a solo thing. It could

00:35:58.110 --> 00:36:01.869
be, and especially being like a residency type

00:36:01.869 --> 00:36:04.670
of a thing. She probably doesn't want to bring

00:36:04.670 --> 00:36:06.469
a whole band. It's just like, yeah, I'll be there,

00:36:06.510 --> 00:36:09.630
I'll do it. Yeah. Okay. A lot of times those

00:36:09.630 --> 00:36:12.010
venues have their own house band anyhow. True,

00:36:12.110 --> 00:36:17.309
true. How about John Fogarty? Oh, nice. At Planet

00:36:17.309 --> 00:36:19.570
Hollywood, and I believe this is the one in Fort

00:36:19.570 --> 00:36:22.369
Lauderdale. He's going to be playing January

00:36:22.369 --> 00:36:27.389
22nd and March 21st. Wow. I would drive down

00:36:27.389 --> 00:36:29.469
to Florida to see him, I think. I would, too.

00:36:29.610 --> 00:36:32.449
Yeah. I mean, and he's going to do a lot of CCR.

00:36:32.510 --> 00:36:36.489
I mean, his Centerfield album was good, but man,

00:36:36.489 --> 00:36:38.929
not like CCR good. Yeah. You say it's Orlando?

00:36:40.130 --> 00:36:42.170
Fort Lauderdale. Fort Lauderdale. Oh, that's

00:36:42.170 --> 00:36:44.940
a lot further south. That's a little north of

00:36:44.940 --> 00:36:48.380
Miami. If it was Orlando, I could stay with my

00:36:48.380 --> 00:36:53.659
sister. Or at least I could ask her. Florida

00:36:53.659 --> 00:36:57.739
is just enormously long from north to south.

00:36:57.980 --> 00:37:00.719
If you've ever ridden on a motorcycle while it's

00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:05.000
raining, it lasts forever. Like, damn, this is

00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:10.869
as wide as Texas. If you stayed there, you'd

00:37:10.869 --> 00:37:13.969
be staying in the skyscraper that looks like

00:37:13.969 --> 00:37:16.909
a guitar on the ocean. Nice. Have you ever seen

00:37:16.909 --> 00:37:19.849
that? I have, yes. Yeah, isn't that cool? Whenever

00:37:19.849 --> 00:37:22.730
you land at Fort Lauderdale International, the

00:37:22.730 --> 00:37:25.969
flight path when you're landing, you can see

00:37:25.969 --> 00:37:28.769
it really well. And don't ever think that's a

00:37:28.769 --> 00:37:31.010
coincidence or just a happy accident. That's

00:37:31.010 --> 00:37:32.809
bought and paid for. No, it's bought and paid

00:37:32.809 --> 00:37:34.809
for. Absolutely bought and paid for. And I believe

00:37:34.809 --> 00:37:40.340
it is temporary after a Les Paul. All right,

00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:42.619
and then moving along here, Def Leppard at the

00:37:42.619 --> 00:37:46.599
Coliseum. Def Leppard already did a residency

00:37:46.599 --> 00:37:49.079
in Las Vegas, so now they're doing another residency

00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:51.480
somewhere else? Yeah, at the Coliseum, I believe.

00:37:53.579 --> 00:37:58.099
It's big. Yeah. The Los Angeles Coliseum? I think

00:37:58.099 --> 00:38:00.460
it is. It's where the Rams used to play. Yeah,

00:38:00.539 --> 00:38:04.619
I think it's LA. February 3rd through the 28th.

00:38:05.719 --> 00:38:08.840
Yeah, so in LA, you have decent weather. Yeah,

00:38:08.940 --> 00:38:12.519
yep. Man, that Vegas residency show was three

00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:17.320
hours long. That's just nuts. Oh, I know. It's

00:38:17.320 --> 00:38:18.780
hard to believe that they can do a three -hour

00:38:18.780 --> 00:38:21.239
set. Yeah, I mean, they're about my age. Yeah.

00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:27.800
Joe Elliott, how does he keep his voice? He must

00:38:27.800 --> 00:38:30.900
have a hell of a vocal coach. I guess. He does

00:38:30.900 --> 00:38:34.800
his work. How about Paul Simon, May 7th through

00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:38.579
the 18th? Oh, wow. Unexpected. He only does like

00:38:38.579 --> 00:38:41.179
four shows, but May 7th through the 18th, run

00:38:41.179 --> 00:38:45.119
him around here. Yeah. How about Eric Clapton?

00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:49.239
Pass. April, yeah. April 24th through May 17th.

00:38:49.239 --> 00:38:51.239
I wouldn't go see him just because I don't like

00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:54.679
him. No, he's kind of an unpleasant person, too.

00:38:55.380 --> 00:38:58.980
Maybe he's not as racist as he used to be, but...

00:38:59.530 --> 00:39:02.329
he at least needs to address it publicly with

00:39:02.329 --> 00:39:04.889
an apology or a statement or something. Right

00:39:04.889 --> 00:39:06.969
now, he's just hoping we all forget about his

00:39:06.969 --> 00:39:08.969
racist rant back in the 70s. Actually, people

00:39:08.969 --> 00:39:11.630
have forgotten about it because I remember mentioning

00:39:11.630 --> 00:39:13.449
that. People go, what? He didn't do that. I'm

00:39:13.449 --> 00:39:15.710
like, yeah, he did. Yeah, I bring up the video.

00:39:15.809 --> 00:39:18.130
I bring up the news articles about it. It's like,

00:39:18.230 --> 00:39:20.530
oh, my God, I didn't know. It's like, yeah, well,

00:39:20.610 --> 00:39:25.289
PR is a powerful thing. It is, yep. How about...

00:39:26.529 --> 00:39:30.070
Deep Purple. Oh, nice. April 10th through December

00:39:30.070 --> 00:39:33.590
19th. I'd go just to see Ian Pace play. Yeah.

00:39:33.769 --> 00:39:36.070
Of course, the rest of them are great, too. Man,

00:39:36.750 --> 00:39:40.170
that guy is timeless. He is. He takes care of

00:39:40.170 --> 00:39:42.610
himself. He does. He said the reason he can drum

00:39:42.610 --> 00:39:45.889
so late in life is he keeps his drums low. He

00:39:45.889 --> 00:39:48.210
doesn't have them high. He said it's got less

00:39:48.210 --> 00:39:51.230
strain on you. And a lifetime of not having to

00:39:51.230 --> 00:39:53.460
reach over your head for anything. Yeah. You

00:39:53.460 --> 00:39:56.280
see these metal drummers and hairband drummers

00:39:56.280 --> 00:39:59.380
who put everything up super high for show. Because

00:39:59.380 --> 00:40:02.679
it looks cool. Yeah. I grew up with a guy who

00:40:02.679 --> 00:40:05.840
had his drum set up like that. It's just like

00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:08.340
Lemmy and his fucking microphone three foot above

00:40:08.340 --> 00:40:13.019
him. But it was well known. People know the guy's

00:40:13.019 --> 00:40:17.340
reaching for the mic. That's Lemmy. Jethro Tull.

00:40:17.820 --> 00:40:21.539
Oh, interesting. The Curiosity Tour. And get

00:40:21.539 --> 00:40:24.960
this. February 11th through November 23rd. Most

00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:27.920
of the year, they are going to be touring. Wow.

00:40:27.980 --> 00:40:30.179
I'm guessing it's going to be a much lower energy

00:40:30.179 --> 00:40:33.559
show with a lot of acoustic parts. Yeah, probably.

00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:36.719
I think his longtime guitarist is deceased, Michael

00:40:36.719 --> 00:40:40.400
Desbarres. Yeah, not that long ago. Pamela DeBarnes'

00:40:40.420 --> 00:40:44.840
brother. Pamela DeBarnes, you know? Yeah. Yeah,

00:40:44.840 --> 00:40:52.289
okay. All right. Craft work. Oh, wow. April 27th

00:40:52.289 --> 00:40:56.550
through July 17th. They were pretty influential

00:40:56.550 --> 00:40:59.550
in the whole synth -pop movement. They were very

00:40:59.550 --> 00:41:05.989
much so. How about the Guess Who? Oh, that's...

00:41:05.989 --> 00:41:08.190
Well, here's something I'd like to say, though.

00:41:08.309 --> 00:41:11.289
We don't know how many original members are in

00:41:11.289 --> 00:41:14.670
this. Yeah, because Burton Cummings was the singer.

00:41:16.690 --> 00:41:19.869
Randy Bachman was the guitar player. Yeah. But

00:41:19.869 --> 00:41:22.070
I don't know if he's even alive. No, that's what

00:41:22.070 --> 00:41:24.210
I'm saying. I don't know who the 17 ships are

00:41:24.210 --> 00:41:27.309
and how many there is. Yeah. For all I know is

00:41:27.309 --> 00:41:30.590
they could pretty much be, like, foreigner. Yeah,

00:41:30.590 --> 00:41:32.809
yeah. And that's a tribute show. Yeah. Although

00:41:32.809 --> 00:41:36.730
they don't bill it as that. Yeah. Earth, Wind,

00:41:36.769 --> 00:41:40.630
and Fire. Ooh, I like them. Oh, the Guess Who

00:41:40.630 --> 00:41:43.690
was January through June. Pretty good tour for

00:41:43.690 --> 00:41:47.230
those guys for that age. Yeah. We're twinning

00:41:47.230 --> 00:41:52.090
fire March 26th and May 17th. Short. Speaking

00:41:52.090 --> 00:41:56.349
of foreigner, with Leonard Skinner, another tribute

00:41:56.349 --> 00:41:59.269
band. Yeah, basically. February 25th through

00:41:59.269 --> 00:42:01.409
August 29th, so they're doing a pretty good tour.

00:42:01.750 --> 00:42:03.889
And I'm glad to see Leonard Skinner is still

00:42:03.889 --> 00:42:07.269
retired. Good job. I'm glad you stuck to it.

00:42:07.449 --> 00:42:09.510
I mean, it's kind of like the Oak Ridge Boys.

00:42:10.219 --> 00:42:13.579
They were founded in 1947. None of those people

00:42:13.579 --> 00:42:15.719
are still alive. Oh, I know. But the Oak Ridge

00:42:15.719 --> 00:42:19.800
Boys are just slow attrition, replace, replace.

00:42:20.179 --> 00:42:22.119
Leonard Skinner, I don't think there's one original

00:42:22.119 --> 00:42:25.260
guy left. I don't think so. They're all laughing

00:42:25.260 --> 00:42:28.820
to the bank, all of them. Yeah. Grand Funk Roro.

00:42:29.320 --> 00:42:34.150
Oh, cool. January 10th through May 29th. I think

00:42:34.150 --> 00:42:37.210
that's awesome. Yeah. A grand funk coming out

00:42:37.210 --> 00:42:39.849
and actually playing a tour. It's good. Yeah,

00:42:39.889 --> 00:42:42.869
yeah. They were a really good time, fun party

00:42:42.869 --> 00:42:45.010
band. I always enjoyed them. Yeah, they are.

00:42:45.070 --> 00:42:46.750
You didn't have to think too hard. You could

00:42:46.750 --> 00:42:48.889
just listen and have a good time. Yeah. They

00:42:48.889 --> 00:42:50.849
weren't like prog rock where you had to, well,

00:42:50.889 --> 00:42:53.230
did you hear how we modulated the third chorus?

00:42:53.309 --> 00:42:59.170
No. Yeah. And my response is always like, no,

00:42:59.369 --> 00:43:03.329
but I didn't want to. Yeah. So there you go.

00:43:04.329 --> 00:43:09.889
Chicago with Styx on select dates, not always.

00:43:10.070 --> 00:43:12.809
February 13th through September 6th. Yeah, I

00:43:12.809 --> 00:43:15.349
saw Styx was reuniting for some shows. Yeah,

00:43:15.369 --> 00:43:18.429
but not with Dennis Dean. No, no. They're kind

00:43:18.429 --> 00:43:22.019
of done with him. Yeah, yep. And you exposed

00:43:22.019 --> 00:43:25.360
some of the reasons, didn't you, I thought? Yeah,

00:43:25.440 --> 00:43:30.400
he was trying to go more rock opera or pop opera.

00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:36.400
He wanted to un -rock a lot of the songs. He

00:43:36.400 --> 00:43:39.260
didn't like writing songs with guitar parts in

00:43:39.260 --> 00:43:43.909
them. Or Tommy Shaw. Yeah. He was a very accomplished

00:43:43.909 --> 00:43:46.210
guitarist. He was like, no, fuck you, we're going

00:43:46.210 --> 00:43:48.690
to have guitar. Yeah, but he was basically holding

00:43:48.690 --> 00:43:51.190
the rest of the band kind of hostage. And there

00:43:51.190 --> 00:43:54.190
was a time where the band was still all together

00:43:54.190 --> 00:43:57.889
at that point, and James Young came and said,

00:43:57.949 --> 00:44:00.550
we've got this whole tour thing planned, and

00:44:00.550 --> 00:44:03.070
here's the songs, and blah, blah, blah, where

00:44:03.070 --> 00:44:05.710
it's all set up. And then Dennis D. Young said,

00:44:05.949 --> 00:44:09.570
well, I can't do it because I'm allergic to sunlight

00:44:09.570 --> 00:44:14.320
now. Which is utter bullshit because there are

00:44:14.320 --> 00:44:16.960
people allergic to sunlight, but it pretty much

00:44:16.960 --> 00:44:19.559
reaches critical mass when you're about six years

00:44:19.559 --> 00:44:22.860
old. So he's not all of a sudden, yeah, it was

00:44:22.860 --> 00:44:25.139
just an excuse. He was somewhat of a prima donna

00:44:25.139 --> 00:44:28.099
for real. But at that point, James Young said,

00:44:28.239 --> 00:44:30.139
all right, you're done. You're out. We're going

00:44:30.139 --> 00:44:36.179
to do it without you. How about Pat Benatar with

00:44:36.179 --> 00:44:39.409
Neil Girolamo? He's been with her right from

00:44:39.409 --> 00:44:42.050
the beginning. I know. They weren't married at

00:44:42.050 --> 00:44:44.329
first when they started out, I don't think. He

00:44:44.329 --> 00:44:47.349
was just a guitarist at first, wasn't he? I think

00:44:47.349 --> 00:44:50.670
so. But it didn't take long for them to hook

00:44:50.670 --> 00:44:53.710
up. Yeah, a couple bottles of nitrate one night.

00:44:54.969 --> 00:45:00.809
That's it. America is touring. This is what the

00:45:00.809 --> 00:45:05.619
Gulf is named after. Yeah. I wonder... See, for

00:45:05.619 --> 00:45:07.860
a while, the three original members of America

00:45:07.860 --> 00:45:10.420
couldn't get back together because one of them

00:45:10.420 --> 00:45:12.639
had become sober and wouldn't work with the other

00:45:12.639 --> 00:45:14.280
two unless they became sober, too. Oh, yeah,

00:45:14.300 --> 00:45:16.320
yeah, I guess that... So I wonder if they fixed

00:45:16.320 --> 00:45:20.440
that, or... I don't know. What I should have

00:45:20.440 --> 00:45:22.239
done was seen how many original members were

00:45:22.239 --> 00:45:23.820
on here, but that could be next show. Yeah, it

00:45:23.820 --> 00:45:26.099
kind of doesn't matter. Yeah, it doesn't. How

00:45:26.099 --> 00:45:31.539
about Three Dog Night? Ooh! With Ambrosia. And

00:45:31.539 --> 00:45:35.559
John Ford Coley on Select Dance. John Ford Coley,

00:45:35.579 --> 00:45:37.239
I haven't heard about him for a while. Me neither.

00:45:38.239 --> 00:45:40.920
Runs January 15th, July 7th, so that's about

00:45:40.920 --> 00:45:46.800
a half a year that they are playing. They're

00:45:46.800 --> 00:45:48.360
going to have a tour about a half a year, and

00:45:48.360 --> 00:45:50.079
that's pretty good, I think, for Three Dog Night

00:45:50.079 --> 00:45:54.300
and their advanced stages. How about half of

00:45:54.300 --> 00:45:58.389
Hall & Oates, John Oates? Oh, yeah. We never

00:45:58.389 --> 00:46:00.789
got to see who he wanted to be as a musician.

00:46:01.110 --> 00:46:04.929
No, we never did because no one really cared.

00:46:05.230 --> 00:46:09.849
Well, it was part of the deal of being Hall &

00:46:09.849 --> 00:46:13.590
Oates was he played a character. The silent guy

00:46:13.590 --> 00:46:15.610
who never does interviews, never talks, got the

00:46:15.610 --> 00:46:18.250
big mustache. Kind of like the dark -haired guy

00:46:18.250 --> 00:46:20.889
in Wham. Yeah. Nobody knew who he was. Yeah.

00:46:21.210 --> 00:46:24.829
But he was contractually obligated to play that

00:46:24.829 --> 00:46:30.170
role. And he, after the band split up, he said

00:46:30.170 --> 00:46:32.170
in an interview, he said, you know, I will never

00:46:32.170 --> 00:46:36.170
play that role again. So I don't see me ever

00:46:36.170 --> 00:46:38.030
reuniting with Daryl Hall because I'm not going

00:46:38.030 --> 00:46:40.369
to ever be that guy again. I hate doing it. It

00:46:40.369 --> 00:46:42.829
almost ruined his career, actually. I mean, nobody

00:46:42.829 --> 00:46:45.809
really, yeah. Daryl Hall got all the accolades.

00:46:45.929 --> 00:46:51.269
He did. He got nothing. So, all right. That's

00:46:51.269 --> 00:46:53.829
February 20th, March 15th. Not that long of a

00:46:53.829 --> 00:46:58.789
tour, but a tour. Toto. Oh, wow. Featuring Christopher

00:46:58.789 --> 00:47:03.030
Cross and the Romantics. Oh, I remember the Romantics.

00:47:03.329 --> 00:47:05.769
Yeah. I hear the secrets that you keep. When

00:47:05.769 --> 00:47:08.389
you're talking in your sleep. Yep. And they also

00:47:08.389 --> 00:47:11.789
did What I Like About You. Yes. That was a good

00:47:11.789 --> 00:47:14.329
rocker. Yeah, it was. I wonder if the lead singer

00:47:14.329 --> 00:47:17.070
is still the drummer. I don't know. It's a good

00:47:17.070 --> 00:47:23.710
question. Yeah. Steve Lucifer. Yeah. I think

00:47:23.710 --> 00:47:26.630
he's still with him, isn't he? I think the only

00:47:26.630 --> 00:47:29.750
two members of Toto that aren't alive anymore

00:47:29.750 --> 00:47:32.809
are... He is with him, yeah. Or, you know, Jeff

00:47:32.809 --> 00:47:35.510
Porcaro, the drummer. And there's one other guy,

00:47:35.610 --> 00:47:37.909
I can't remember his name offhand, but two of

00:47:37.909 --> 00:47:40.570
the original members of Toto are deceased. Yes.

00:47:40.570 --> 00:47:42.789
But I think the rest are back on board. I think

00:47:42.789 --> 00:47:45.409
so. Everyone is there, I do believe, because

00:47:45.409 --> 00:47:47.570
I think I did a music news on them. Oh, cool.

00:47:47.690 --> 00:47:54.039
Yeah. So, all right, Air Supply. Oh, wow. They

00:47:54.039 --> 00:47:56.820
were huge. I mean, a lot of people just loved

00:47:56.820 --> 00:48:00.940
Air Supply. You know, they had mellow music,

00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:05.599
but it was good. Yeah, it was in the genre of

00:48:05.599 --> 00:48:09.300
safe for work, to listen at work. Elevator, a

00:48:09.300 --> 00:48:11.760
doctor's office, you could hear them playing.

00:48:11.960 --> 00:48:14.880
Yeah, non -threatening, non -offensive, but it

00:48:14.880 --> 00:48:17.199
was good. It was well -written music, well done,

00:48:17.360 --> 00:48:19.800
and their harmonies were exceptional. That's

00:48:19.800 --> 00:48:22.059
what I liked was their harmonies were so good.

00:48:22.400 --> 00:48:24.400
And the lead singer such had a high range of

00:48:24.400 --> 00:48:26.699
voice, but he didn't sound forced or squeaky

00:48:26.699 --> 00:48:30.380
like Geddy Lee can sound sometimes. Yes. For

00:48:30.380 --> 00:48:33.179
him, it was just like custard was coming out.

00:48:33.260 --> 00:48:36.360
It was just so smooth. So smooth, I know. Yeah.

00:48:36.900 --> 00:48:42.389
All right. The Beach Boys. Oh, wow. Well, I don't

00:48:42.389 --> 00:48:45.329
know who all is in that band now. Yeah. John

00:48:45.329 --> 00:48:47.769
Stamos was in for quite a while, but I think

00:48:47.769 --> 00:48:50.429
he's out now. Yeah, yeah. I don't know who's

00:48:50.429 --> 00:48:53.190
all in it, but they're going January through

00:48:53.190 --> 00:48:56.269
July. That's a pretty good chunk of time. It

00:48:56.269 --> 00:48:59.110
is. They've got a lot of hits to play. Yes, they

00:48:59.110 --> 00:49:01.539
do. And the people who are wanting to go out

00:49:01.539 --> 00:49:04.000
and see the Beach Boys plays are probably kind

00:49:04.000 --> 00:49:06.559
of dying off, so now's as good a time as any.

00:49:06.699 --> 00:49:08.559
It's going to be as depressing as that Deep Purple

00:49:08.559 --> 00:49:12.280
show that I saw at the Uptown. Yes. Half the

00:49:12.280 --> 00:49:15.219
people were wearing oxygen. Every entrance will

00:49:15.219 --> 00:49:17.420
be a handicap accessible entrance. Oh my gosh,

00:49:17.519 --> 00:49:19.480
there was more wheelchairs and walkers there

00:49:19.480 --> 00:49:21.440
than there were just people walking in. Yeah.

00:49:21.719 --> 00:49:25.880
The only thing we mean by that is it's amazing

00:49:25.880 --> 00:49:31.489
that they can draw these... enormous crowds and

00:49:31.489 --> 00:49:34.550
how old their fan base still is because you get

00:49:34.550 --> 00:49:36.670
older you wind up being on assistance for something

00:49:36.670 --> 00:49:39.769
or another but they can still draw this audience

00:49:39.769 --> 00:49:42.110
out and it's a hardship for a lot of people to

00:49:42.110 --> 00:49:44.449
get out to a concert and stay there a whole few

00:49:44.449 --> 00:49:47.369
hours or whatever it's a testament to how much

00:49:47.369 --> 00:49:53.050
the band is loved yeah yeah no i agree and i've

00:49:53.050 --> 00:49:55.449
always been a huge purple fan anyhow so i have

00:49:55.449 --> 00:49:57.829
to see him They may be coming back by for all

00:49:57.829 --> 00:50:00.570
I know. They're touring all year. Cool. Because

00:50:00.570 --> 00:50:04.769
they never said it was a retirement tour. Yeah.

00:50:04.949 --> 00:50:09.130
They just called it the long, slow goodbye. Which

00:50:09.130 --> 00:50:10.650
could mean just about anything. Which has been

00:50:10.650 --> 00:50:15.289
going on. Long, slow goodbye. All right. Frankie

00:50:15.289 --> 00:50:18.550
Valli and the Four Seasons. I didn't know Frankie

00:50:18.550 --> 00:50:20.289
Valli was still performing. I didn't either.

00:50:20.369 --> 00:50:25.480
And the Four Seasons with him. It runs February

00:50:25.480 --> 00:50:28.380
through April, which is decent for their advanced

00:50:28.380 --> 00:50:33.280
age. Yeah. Yeah. I wouldn't mind seeing that

00:50:33.280 --> 00:50:36.340
if I could. Yeah. Just to say I was there. You

00:50:36.340 --> 00:50:38.059
know, just go, yeah, I've seen Breaking Valley

00:50:38.059 --> 00:50:41.500
a bit of a lot. I mean, it's not quite like seeing

00:50:41.500 --> 00:50:43.460
Elvis or something, but, you know. Yeah. But

00:50:43.460 --> 00:50:48.179
this next one, The Righteous Brothers. Oh, wow.

00:50:49.519 --> 00:50:51.639
One of them, I think, had a lot of substance

00:50:51.639 --> 00:50:55.699
abuse problems. Yes. I think it was the tall

00:50:55.699 --> 00:50:57.920
one with the deeper voice. Deeper voice guy,

00:50:58.039 --> 00:51:01.300
yeah, he did. As far as I know, it's all of them.

00:51:02.079 --> 00:51:06.539
So, interesting. I mean the ones that can. February

00:51:06.539 --> 00:51:10.460
10th through June 19th. That's a pretty happy

00:51:10.460 --> 00:51:12.500
year. You've got to make sure your voice can

00:51:12.500 --> 00:51:16.079
handle that length of time. Yeah, and I don't

00:51:16.079 --> 00:51:18.050
know about backing. tracks and all that stuff

00:51:18.050 --> 00:51:20.730
i imagine a lot of these do i mean yeah hopefully

00:51:20.730 --> 00:51:23.869
not like triumph oh my gosh yeah really disappointed

00:51:23.869 --> 00:51:27.050
they're still putting out story after story trying

00:51:27.050 --> 00:51:30.309
to skirt the issue oh yeah you know the drummer

00:51:30.309 --> 00:51:32.690
and the guitar player say yeah oh yeah we're

00:51:32.690 --> 00:51:34.789
gonna be playing the whole time on every show

00:51:34.789 --> 00:51:37.050
yeah right it's like well you're sidestepping

00:51:37.050 --> 00:51:38.949
the issue where the bass player says he's not

00:51:38.949 --> 00:51:41.469
and he says the rest of you are going to sit

00:51:41.469 --> 00:51:44.530
back while the other guys play and sing so you're

00:51:44.530 --> 00:51:47.119
not seeing triumph you're seeing triumph Plus

00:51:47.119 --> 00:51:50.199
their tribute band simultaneously. It's not what

00:51:50.199 --> 00:51:52.840
I want. I don't have a time machine, so I guess

00:51:52.840 --> 00:51:55.039
I'm just going to put it down as I'm not going

00:51:55.039 --> 00:51:57.920
to ever see them. What would be funny is to show

00:51:57.920 --> 00:52:00.639
up for April Wine and then leave. That's what

00:52:00.639 --> 00:52:03.219
I want. If the tickets weren't so expensive,

00:52:03.420 --> 00:52:06.739
I'd do that because I love April Wine. To me,

00:52:06.880 --> 00:52:09.300
they've always been one of the most underrated

00:52:09.300 --> 00:52:12.199
bands ever. Yeah, they were a victim of distribution

00:52:12.199 --> 00:52:17.159
and promotion. Not in the U .S. In Canada, they're

00:52:17.159 --> 00:52:19.019
enormous. They always will be enormous. They

00:52:19.019 --> 00:52:22.119
should be. They're a great band. And that was

00:52:22.119 --> 00:52:24.260
interesting that Triumph took the other Canadian

00:52:24.260 --> 00:52:28.219
band with them. They couldn't take Rush. Alright,

00:52:29.199 --> 00:52:32.840
Mickey Dolenz of the Monkees. He's the last one

00:52:32.840 --> 00:52:36.519
left. So I guess it's the Monkees and the last

00:52:36.519 --> 00:52:39.639
guy left. Mickey Dolenz of the Monkees. February

00:52:39.639 --> 00:52:43.079
12th through November 6th. That is all year,

00:52:43.099 --> 00:52:45.880
basically. That's all year. I'm guessing a lot

00:52:45.880 --> 00:52:47.940
of it is going to be spoken word, question and

00:52:47.940 --> 00:52:50.900
answer with some performances. Probably. That's

00:52:50.900 --> 00:52:55.000
what I would guess. The way it was, yeah. It's

00:52:55.000 --> 00:52:57.280
funny to watch those old episodes of the Monkees

00:52:57.280 --> 00:52:59.340
and watch Mickey Dolenz because he had no clue

00:52:59.340 --> 00:53:01.639
how to play the drums. Oh, I know. And he couldn't

00:53:01.639 --> 00:53:06.260
even fake it well. You have to look on his face,

00:53:06.260 --> 00:53:09.039
actually, Tony. He's kind of like, get the camera

00:53:09.039 --> 00:53:13.510
off me. But he can play somewhat now. I don't

00:53:13.510 --> 00:53:15.489
know how good he is, but he can play now. He's

00:53:15.489 --> 00:53:17.590
still like Nicky Six. He can play now. Who knows

00:53:17.590 --> 00:53:20.750
how good he is, but he can play. But Danny Bonaduce

00:53:20.750 --> 00:53:23.389
never did learn to play the bass from the Partridge

00:53:23.389 --> 00:53:26.010
family. He learned how to annoy people on the

00:53:26.010 --> 00:53:29.469
radio. That was another that was dubbed in from

00:53:29.469 --> 00:53:32.889
Carol Kay, bass player. She's all over the place.

00:53:33.429 --> 00:53:37.570
Yeah, that's true. Let's see. The next one is

00:53:37.570 --> 00:53:41.980
Tommy James. And the Shandales. Yeah. Shandales.

00:53:42.219 --> 00:53:45.099
Shandales. Shandales, I think. Shandales. Yeah.

00:53:46.059 --> 00:53:48.900
Boy, we're reaching way back. This is like 60

00:53:48.900 --> 00:53:50.400
years ago. That's why I went ahead and did this.

00:53:50.400 --> 00:53:53.639
I was like, son of these guys from years and

00:53:53.639 --> 00:53:56.219
years ago. I mean, even before Classic. Yeah.

00:53:56.559 --> 00:54:00.039
Like, golden oldie stuff. Artur. You know, I

00:54:00.039 --> 00:54:01.860
think who would be a prime candidate for this

00:54:01.860 --> 00:54:04.139
kind of thing is people who were one -hit wonders

00:54:04.139 --> 00:54:07.559
in the 60s because they don't have a lot of miles

00:54:07.559 --> 00:54:09.570
on them. Yep. And they're probably still alive.

00:54:09.630 --> 00:54:11.210
You can bring them back to do their one hit.

00:54:11.469 --> 00:54:14.869
Yeah. I mean, a lot of these, if the price is

00:54:14.869 --> 00:54:18.170
right, I go just to say I saw them. Sure. In

00:54:18.170 --> 00:54:19.969
whatever form they are now. And you know the

00:54:19.969 --> 00:54:22.949
backing band's going to be excellent. They always

00:54:22.949 --> 00:54:25.210
are. Yeah, they have to. Yeah. You know, they

00:54:25.210 --> 00:54:27.250
want to sound as good as they can, so they find

00:54:27.250 --> 00:54:29.170
the right people. Yeah. And these are people

00:54:29.170 --> 00:54:35.170
who play just about every night. Yep. Let's see.

00:54:35.230 --> 00:54:40.500
Where is it? Cut. Leonard Skinner with Foreigner.

00:54:41.760 --> 00:54:45.079
And then, which I'm not even going to go into,

00:54:45.159 --> 00:54:47.239
February through September. We both talked about

00:54:47.239 --> 00:54:50.619
them already. How about Billy Gibbons only of

00:54:50.619 --> 00:54:55.300
CZ Talk with the BFG band. Whoever they are.

00:54:57.000 --> 00:55:12.539
Ah, BFG? I'm trying to think who BFG is. I can't.

00:55:12.579 --> 00:55:15.539
I don't know. It didn't explain it either. Yeah.

00:55:15.780 --> 00:55:21.119
Hang on, let me see. BFG. I have more, but it's

00:55:21.119 --> 00:55:23.460
going to get boring. We can do more later. Or

00:55:23.460 --> 00:55:25.800
next episode, whatever. Well, the thing I was

00:55:25.800 --> 00:55:29.139
looking up, Alex Van Halen, after his brother

00:55:29.139 --> 00:55:31.840
died, said, I'm retiring from music. I'm done.

00:55:32.019 --> 00:55:35.019
I just don't want to do it anymore. I'm retired.

00:55:35.820 --> 00:55:41.400
Guess who unretired? Did he? He and Steve Lukather

00:55:41.400 --> 00:55:43.440
are working on an album together. Oh, wait a

00:55:43.440 --> 00:55:47.079
minute. I did read that. Yeah. So he unretired

00:55:47.079 --> 00:55:49.440
when the Ride Project came along. Good for him.

00:55:50.119 --> 00:55:52.659
He's probably got so much music left in him that

00:55:52.659 --> 00:55:54.780
he just couldn't deny it. I'm sure. And also,

00:55:54.840 --> 00:55:59.780
Lukather is a great... Total professional. Excellent

00:55:59.780 --> 00:56:02.500
songwriter. He would be a great guy to team up

00:56:02.500 --> 00:56:05.960
with. Total non -bullshitter. Yeah. Yeah, and

00:56:05.960 --> 00:56:09.539
his guitar is so good. His music writing is great.

00:56:09.739 --> 00:56:11.039
I mean, yeah, that would be a guy you'd want

00:56:11.039 --> 00:56:14.159
to do something with. And as much disrespect

00:56:14.159 --> 00:56:16.440
as Steve Lukather has gotten over the years,

00:56:16.500 --> 00:56:19.460
and he's still just been excellent and never

00:56:19.460 --> 00:56:23.159
taken the bait, that's a heck of a guy. He's

00:56:23.159 --> 00:56:25.639
always been happy being back a little ways. Instead

00:56:25.639 --> 00:56:27.539
of knowing his D guy, he's kind of like, yeah,

00:56:27.599 --> 00:56:29.860
I can play really good, but I kind of do this

00:56:29.860 --> 00:56:33.699
toto thing. Stop raining and the sun's out. I

00:56:33.699 --> 00:56:37.320
just know Get ready for the temperature to drop

00:56:37.320 --> 00:56:43.719
Either that or thunderstorms Supposed to get

00:56:43.719 --> 00:56:46.420
snow Friday morning tomorrow morning. Oh, yeah.

00:56:46.480 --> 00:56:48.599
Yeah then something about snow next Thursday,

00:56:48.780 --> 00:56:52.059
baby. Yeah I think winter weather's coming. Oh,

00:56:52.099 --> 00:56:54.760
yeah. Been lucky so far. Ooh, nice breeze all

00:56:54.760 --> 00:56:56.340
of a sudden. Oh, that felt good, didn't it? Yeah.

00:56:56.719 --> 00:57:00.239
It was kind of funny that, no, I'm retired. I'm

00:57:00.239 --> 00:57:02.219
done. I just can't do it that way. Oh, yeah,

00:57:02.239 --> 00:57:07.559
I'll do his album. I knew he was going to. I

00:57:07.559 --> 00:57:11.110
knew he was going to. In his book, he talks too

00:57:11.110 --> 00:57:13.349
fondly about making music. I was like, you know,

00:57:13.349 --> 00:57:15.969
how can you just stop? I know you're bummed out,

00:57:16.030 --> 00:57:18.130
your brother, all that stuff. But man, no, you

00:57:18.130 --> 00:57:21.530
know, it's like, that's something you can't get

00:57:21.530 --> 00:57:24.230
out of your blood. I mean, there are times I've

00:57:24.230 --> 00:57:26.710
stepped away from music when my depression takes

00:57:26.710 --> 00:57:28.690
over and I'm just not in a good place mentally.

00:57:28.989 --> 00:57:31.269
But then, you know, and then I have to work my

00:57:31.269 --> 00:57:34.090
way back, you know, with my chops and my endurance

00:57:34.090 --> 00:57:38.329
and stuff. But I can never quit fully. Just,

00:57:38.349 --> 00:57:42.940
no. No, it's one of those deals where he has

00:57:42.940 --> 00:57:47.699
too much creativity not to create. Yeah, a lot

00:57:47.699 --> 00:57:49.639
of times you turn that on, you just can't turn

00:57:49.639 --> 00:57:53.820
it back off. No. And like I said, he was a guy

00:57:53.820 --> 00:57:56.340
that I learned to really like. I didn't used

00:57:56.340 --> 00:57:58.980
to like him. I thought his drumming was horrible.

00:57:59.400 --> 00:58:03.840
Yeah, I remember having an Alex Van Halen hating

00:58:03.840 --> 00:58:07.119
period, partly because he was so good and I was

00:58:07.119 --> 00:58:10.019
so lousy at the time. And partly because I just

00:58:10.019 --> 00:58:13.000
couldn't understand his drumming style. It was

00:58:13.000 --> 00:58:15.039
just so foreign to me. He's like, I just don't

00:58:15.039 --> 00:58:19.619
get it. But it took time. I get it now. I mean,

00:58:19.639 --> 00:58:22.159
you know, he has a certain, he can play about

00:58:22.159 --> 00:58:23.800
anything, and you'd be like, man, that sounds

00:58:23.800 --> 00:58:27.219
like something Alex Van Halen would do. And,

00:58:27.260 --> 00:58:30.400
you know, most of the time he slams, but he can

00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:33.559
play with gentleness and delicacy and nuance.

00:58:34.920 --> 00:58:37.139
Most of the time, the song doesn't require that.

00:58:37.400 --> 00:58:39.800
It's also hard to say about his influences. With

00:58:39.800 --> 00:58:43.380
that style, I don't know. Yeah, you can see a

00:58:43.380 --> 00:58:46.019
little Bonham in him, a little Keith Moon. A

00:58:46.019 --> 00:58:48.420
little Moon, yeah. Some of the greats, yeah.

00:58:49.619 --> 00:58:57.719
All right, you got something? Yeah, one thing

00:58:57.719 --> 00:59:00.519
I was coming up with yesterday is I like to occasionally

00:59:00.519 --> 00:59:04.309
come up with people that I like to avoid. And

00:59:04.309 --> 00:59:07.690
this episode's version is the people who get

00:59:07.690 --> 00:59:11.110
their feelings hurt, not offended, not angry,

00:59:11.150 --> 00:59:13.670
just they get their feelings hurt unless you

00:59:13.670 --> 00:59:16.809
like what they like. Like the song will come

00:59:16.809 --> 00:59:18.530
on and say, oh, I just love this song, don't

00:59:18.530 --> 00:59:20.230
you? And you say, well, that's not my thing.

00:59:20.369 --> 00:59:24.289
And they get all sad. But it's a good song. Oh,

00:59:24.510 --> 00:59:26.469
that drives me nuts. It's like, let me not like

00:59:26.469 --> 00:59:28.389
it. I'm not trying to get you to not like it

00:59:28.389 --> 00:59:31.900
because I don't. Yeah. I hate that with the snide

00:59:31.900 --> 00:59:36.440
comment. I didn't fucking ask. And, you know,

00:59:36.440 --> 00:59:38.340
usually people like that, what I've been doing

00:59:38.340 --> 00:59:41.860
is just, you know, soft peddling. They look at

00:59:41.860 --> 00:59:44.139
me with little sad puppy dog eyes and want my

00:59:44.139 --> 00:59:46.500
approval for what they like. It's like, yeah,

00:59:46.539 --> 00:59:49.460
yeah, that's good. Yeah, that's great. But now

00:59:49.460 --> 00:59:51.239
it's just like, I'm not even going to play their

00:59:51.239 --> 00:59:53.559
game anymore. I don't. I'm just like, I don't

00:59:53.559 --> 00:59:56.340
like it. End of story. Or just change the subject

00:59:56.340 --> 00:59:58.460
and then make a mental note. Do not be around

00:59:58.460 --> 01:00:00.989
them. when they're wanting opinions on what they

01:00:00.989 --> 01:00:03.590
like. No, no, change your shirt. What? Change

01:00:03.590 --> 01:00:06.030
your shirt. What do you mean? I don't like it.

01:00:08.329 --> 01:00:14.530
Well, that's not my problem, exactly. Yep. Well,

01:00:14.630 --> 01:00:18.989
last episode I had teased a story about a guitar

01:00:18.989 --> 01:00:22.690
factory that made enormous numbers of guitars

01:00:22.690 --> 01:00:26.789
under different brand names. So I researched

01:00:26.789 --> 01:00:33.170
it this time and I've got the full story. The

01:00:33.170 --> 01:00:38.590
overall company name is Kortek. And the factory

01:00:38.590 --> 01:00:43.590
complex in Indonesia is called PT Kort. Now you

01:00:43.590 --> 01:00:46.510
may have heard of Kort guitars. They make a ton

01:00:46.510 --> 01:00:47.969
of them, all sorts of different varieties and

01:00:47.969 --> 01:00:52.849
styles. But this is a factory actually it's a

01:00:52.849 --> 01:00:55.630
factory complex because they have a lot of different

01:00:55.630 --> 01:01:00.710
buildings and they have a second complex in Jalan

01:01:00.710 --> 01:01:05.329
China That makes the other types, but this factory

01:01:05.329 --> 01:01:08.949
complex in Indonesia. They have ten buildings

01:01:08.949 --> 01:01:13.309
and The buildings do different things like they've

01:01:13.309 --> 01:01:16.420
got one building that we make amplifiers And

01:01:16.420 --> 01:01:18.019
they've got another building where they make

01:01:18.019 --> 01:01:21.039
acoustic guitars. And they've got affordable

01:01:21.039 --> 01:01:23.199
acoustic guitars. And they've got another one

01:01:23.199 --> 01:01:27.019
where they make the SE line for Paul Reed Smith.

01:01:27.539 --> 01:01:29.760
And then another factory. It's just on and on

01:01:29.760 --> 01:01:32.199
and on. And the employees don't switch around

01:01:32.199 --> 01:01:35.059
from building to building. So they learn to do

01:01:35.059 --> 01:01:36.880
this, and then they do it, and they get really

01:01:36.880 --> 01:01:39.579
good at it and really fast at it. They have 2

01:01:39.579 --> 01:01:43.679
,500 employees. They have multiple quality levels

01:01:43.679 --> 01:01:46.949
of guitars they make. And it's interesting to

01:01:46.949 --> 01:01:48.590
note, a lot of times people say, oh, all these

01:01:48.590 --> 01:01:50.269
brands came out of the same factory, they're

01:01:50.269 --> 01:01:52.570
all the same. Well, they really aren't. Because

01:01:52.570 --> 01:01:56.750
each brand and each model, the brand name behind

01:01:56.750 --> 01:02:00.489
it says, I want these materials, I want these

01:02:00.489 --> 01:02:02.489
types of woods, I want these electronic specs,

01:02:02.690 --> 01:02:06.329
etc. So they really all are built to the spec

01:02:06.329 --> 01:02:11.170
of the brand. And they have guitars anywhere

01:02:11.170 --> 01:02:16.309
from $300 to $2 ,500 retail. And the $2500 guitars

01:02:16.309 --> 01:02:21.489
are worth every penny. They really are. The Acoustic

01:02:21.489 --> 01:02:26.070
Guitar Factory makes, ready for this, 25 ,000

01:02:26.070 --> 01:02:31.289
acoustic guitars a month. That's just nuts. On

01:02:31.289 --> 01:02:35.610
the video I watched a woman take an acoustic

01:02:35.610 --> 01:02:40.690
guitar top and she put binding around the sound

01:02:40.690 --> 01:02:44.179
hole in the middle of the guitar. From absolute

01:02:44.179 --> 01:02:47.059
start to the time the binding was installed,

01:02:47.260 --> 01:02:49.099
glued in, and everything wiped down and ready

01:02:49.099 --> 01:02:53.460
to go, 90 seconds. Wow. Now most factories can't

01:02:53.460 --> 01:02:56.719
even put a decal on that fast. But she sat there

01:02:56.719 --> 01:02:58.699
and I watched her put that binding in and it

01:02:58.699 --> 01:03:03.079
looked perfect. It was five -ply binding. 90

01:03:03.079 --> 01:03:05.099
seconds. It's just nuts. They say we have the

01:03:05.099 --> 01:03:07.119
same people. They love working here. They work

01:03:07.119 --> 01:03:08.920
here a long time and they all get really, really

01:03:08.920 --> 01:03:14.949
fast and really, really good. The amp factory,

01:03:15.170 --> 01:03:17.929
most of the brands they make there, they weren't

01:03:17.929 --> 01:03:19.949
legally allowed to show on the video because

01:03:19.949 --> 01:03:22.110
the manufacturers, the original brands don't

01:03:22.110 --> 01:03:23.789
want it known, but I looked them up on the internet

01:03:23.789 --> 01:03:30.429
and found it anyway. Cool. Now, I have a PRS

01:03:30.429 --> 01:03:35.969
SE guitar. I bought it in 2018. It actually doesn't

01:03:35.969 --> 01:03:38.090
say Paul Reed Smith anywhere on it. It doesn't?

01:03:38.369 --> 01:03:41.130
On that year, they didn't put the name on it.

01:03:41.420 --> 01:03:43.420
But it was made, on the back it says, made by

01:03:43.420 --> 01:03:47.059
P .T. Wildwood in Indonesia. So P .T. Wildwood

01:03:47.059 --> 01:03:50.679
is now P .T. Court. But it was made in that factory

01:03:50.679 --> 01:03:54.079
by those people, which is pretty awesome. At

01:03:54.079 --> 01:03:57.380
the time it retailed for $5 .99, and I got it

01:03:57.380 --> 01:03:59.199
for $4 .99 because they were trying to dump the

01:03:59.199 --> 01:04:02.340
red ones. And it's an excellent, excellent guitar.

01:04:02.739 --> 01:04:06.820
And the prices on those have gone up considerably

01:04:06.820 --> 01:04:10.400
since. But they still say if you can find one

01:04:10.400 --> 01:04:14.139
from the 2018, 2019, for the price, they're just

01:04:14.139 --> 01:04:16.519
awesome guitars. They're built way above the

01:04:16.519 --> 01:04:23.159
price point. They also have a premium factory

01:04:23.159 --> 01:04:26.119
where they make premium versions of various brands.

01:04:26.780 --> 01:04:31.679
Each brand has their own supply of employees,

01:04:32.079 --> 01:04:35.500
parts. woods, techniques, etc. And these are

01:04:35.500 --> 01:04:38.019
generally ones from mid to upper price range.

01:04:40.000 --> 01:04:43.519
There's a YouTuber named Samurai Guitarist who

01:04:43.519 --> 01:04:45.519
has just come out with his own brand of guitar

01:04:45.519 --> 01:04:48.840
called Oterra. Really? That's made there. The

01:04:48.840 --> 01:04:51.000
guy picked one up and said, here, this is one

01:04:51.000 --> 01:04:53.300
of Chris's guitars, Samurai Guitarist guy. He

01:04:53.300 --> 01:04:56.539
contracted with this Indonesian factory to make

01:04:56.539 --> 01:04:59.360
all of his guitars. And these are $1 ,300 guitars.

01:04:59.659 --> 01:05:04.070
That's smart. Isn't it? Yeah. And, you know,

01:05:04.090 --> 01:05:07.670
a lot of the parts are U .S.-made that they import

01:05:07.670 --> 01:05:10.070
to Indonesia and to China to put on these, like,

01:05:10.110 --> 01:05:14.989
Seymour Duncan pickups and CTS pots and Graftek

01:05:14.989 --> 01:05:16.530
nuts. I mean, these are all, you know, well,

01:05:16.650 --> 01:05:18.590
not all that Graftek, but a lot of things are

01:05:18.590 --> 01:05:20.829
made in the U .S. that they just take over and

01:05:20.829 --> 01:05:23.050
put into these guitars, and the guitar winds

01:05:23.050 --> 01:05:25.610
up being an import with American parts on it.

01:05:25.630 --> 01:05:29.789
It's kind of weird. And an interesting part about...

01:05:30.159 --> 01:05:34.900
A set neck or neck through versus a bolt on.

01:05:35.480 --> 01:05:37.699
Now if you look at the back of a Stratocaster,

01:05:37.760 --> 01:05:40.940
there's a bolt on neck. They drill four holes

01:05:40.940 --> 01:05:43.219
and they've got a plate and they drive four bolts

01:05:43.219 --> 01:05:45.099
through it and attach the neck to the guitar.

01:05:46.539 --> 01:05:50.719
The set neck is they cut the wood in a way that

01:05:50.719 --> 01:05:52.699
the neck and the body fit together and they glue

01:05:52.699 --> 01:05:56.699
it in place. And then the neck through is the

01:05:56.699 --> 01:05:59.250
neck... extends all the way through the body

01:05:59.250 --> 01:06:01.730
of the guitar as a separate hunk of wood, and

01:06:01.730 --> 01:06:03.829
they just add wings on to form the rest of the

01:06:03.829 --> 01:06:06.690
body of the guitar. And that's supposed to add

01:06:06.690 --> 01:06:09.969
even more sustain. And it turns out the only

01:06:09.969 --> 01:06:14.309
difference in price on these is because the bolt

01:06:14.309 --> 01:06:17.570
-on necks, it's super easy to work on the individual

01:06:17.570 --> 01:06:20.550
parts separately, therefore at the same time.

01:06:20.570 --> 01:06:22.050
While you're painting the body, somebody could

01:06:22.050 --> 01:06:24.869
go over there putting frets in the neck or installing

01:06:24.869 --> 01:06:28.070
the tuners. blah blah. Somebody else is creating

01:06:28.070 --> 01:06:29.929
the pickguard and all the electronics in it.

01:06:30.409 --> 01:06:32.630
But with the glued in neck and the neck through,

01:06:32.789 --> 01:06:35.769
you can only do one thing to it at a time. And

01:06:35.769 --> 01:06:37.530
while the glue is drying, you can't do anything

01:06:37.530 --> 01:06:40.409
to it. Yeah, good point. So that is the only

01:06:40.409 --> 01:06:43.230
reason that set neck and neck through guitars

01:06:43.230 --> 01:06:45.889
cost more is because they have to wait around

01:06:45.889 --> 01:06:48.250
while the neck dries and they can't paint parts

01:06:48.250 --> 01:06:50.989
separately. I thought that was kind of interesting.

01:06:51.309 --> 01:06:56.780
That is. They also said that in this factory,

01:06:56.920 --> 01:07:00.659
the vast number of tools that all these employees

01:07:00.659 --> 01:07:04.219
were using were made by Music Nomad, which is

01:07:04.219 --> 01:07:07.300
available to the general public. So that's a

01:07:07.300 --> 01:07:09.420
really good endorsement as far as I'm concerned.

01:07:09.599 --> 01:07:12.900
They decided on these tools because they last

01:07:12.900 --> 01:07:15.179
forever, they never wear out, they can take a

01:07:15.179 --> 01:07:17.239
total beating. Because, you know, people are

01:07:17.239 --> 01:07:23.650
whipping through guitars at a rapid pace. music

01:07:23.650 --> 01:07:26.809
nomad tools eventually apparently hold up really

01:07:26.809 --> 01:07:31.409
well they've got a master factory where the high

01:07:31.409 --> 01:07:34.909
-end prs and court guitars among other other

01:07:34.909 --> 01:07:39.269
ones and they say these indonesian guitars rival

01:07:39.269 --> 01:07:42.210
the u .s made and the japanese made ones as far

01:07:42.210 --> 01:07:45.590
as quality for significantly less because you're

01:07:45.590 --> 01:07:51.760
not paying for the name let's see Every single

01:07:51.760 --> 01:07:55.500
guitar and bass that's manufactured there gets

01:07:55.500 --> 01:07:59.219
tested playing the exact same song. They only

01:07:59.219 --> 01:08:01.039
have one song they play. Smoke on the water.

01:08:02.119 --> 01:08:04.440
It's like this arpeggiated thing where they go...

01:08:04.440 --> 01:08:10.880
Back down. Kind of nude one? Yeah. But every

01:08:10.880 --> 01:08:13.539
guitar and every bass, they play that exact song.

01:08:14.380 --> 01:08:16.600
So that way they compare, it's like last time

01:08:16.600 --> 01:08:18.619
I played this exactly, next time I'll play this

01:08:18.619 --> 01:08:21.560
exactly. That does make sense. It does make sense.

01:08:21.560 --> 01:08:25.300
Yeah, it does make sense. They have what's called

01:08:25.300 --> 01:08:29.000
the Deluxe Factory, which is a misleading name

01:08:29.000 --> 01:08:30.819
because they make the ones in the lower range,

01:08:30.880 --> 01:08:33.500
$300 or $600 range. But it's called Deluxe? Yeah.

01:08:36.840 --> 01:08:40.500
And the whole overall process is kind of similar

01:08:40.500 --> 01:08:45.050
to like... General Motors has an assembly plant

01:08:45.050 --> 01:08:48.149
that makes Chevy's and they've got a different

01:08:48.149 --> 01:08:51.930
assembly that makes Buick's. Sometimes it's the

01:08:51.930 --> 01:08:53.930
same lines but a lot of times it's different

01:08:53.930 --> 01:08:56.750
lines. So that's kind of like this is you can

01:08:56.750 --> 01:09:00.630
get a guitar from this manufacturer and a different

01:09:00.630 --> 01:09:03.770
one from that same manufacturer but they're built

01:09:03.770 --> 01:09:05.869
on different lines with different employees because

01:09:05.869 --> 01:09:08.619
the quality level is different. So it's not like

01:09:08.619 --> 01:09:11.500
everybody who makes an Ibanez import guitar is

01:09:11.500 --> 01:09:13.739
going to be working on every single Ibanez import.

01:09:13.939 --> 01:09:16.340
It's like, no, you group, do the cheap ones,

01:09:16.500 --> 01:09:18.619
you do the mid -tier ones, blah, blah, blah.

01:09:20.260 --> 01:09:22.659
One of the major manufacturers that's made there

01:09:22.659 --> 01:09:24.819
is Strandberg, which makes headless guitars.

01:09:25.760 --> 01:09:28.159
And they talked with Ola Strandberg, who founded

01:09:28.159 --> 01:09:33.319
the company. He said, I went to a ton of factories

01:09:33.319 --> 01:09:35.680
and when I got there, they're the only ones who

01:09:35.680 --> 01:09:38.260
would do absolutely everything exactly the way

01:09:38.260 --> 01:09:40.560
I wanted it to be. And if they didn't know how

01:09:40.560 --> 01:09:42.539
to do it, they'd learn. If they didn't have the

01:09:42.539 --> 01:09:46.020
machines to do it, they'd build them. So he said,

01:09:46.159 --> 01:09:49.619
they do exactly what I want to make this guitar

01:09:49.619 --> 01:09:52.520
and they do it at a lot cheaper price so I can

01:09:52.520 --> 01:09:54.960
sell it at a cheaper price. So he's really impressed

01:09:54.960 --> 01:09:58.590
with that. They have one separate building that

01:09:58.590 --> 01:10:05.750
just makes the PRS pickups. Okay. And they said

01:10:05.750 --> 01:10:07.590
these aren't cheap -ass pickups because they

01:10:07.590 --> 01:10:09.630
will take, you know, do whatever magnet you want,

01:10:09.729 --> 01:10:12.149
however many windings you want, whatever materials

01:10:12.149 --> 01:10:21.720
you want, they will do it exactly. Now, there

01:10:21.720 --> 01:10:24.119
are four different guitar brands that each have

01:10:24.119 --> 01:10:26.159
their own separate building there where just

01:10:26.159 --> 01:10:28.319
their guitars are made, which is pretty impressive.

01:10:29.420 --> 01:10:33.100
And they have a subsidiary factory in Dalian,

01:10:33.140 --> 01:10:35.640
China, which makes acoustic and hollow body guitars

01:10:35.640 --> 01:10:38.899
for Cort, PRS, and the Squier line of Fender,

01:10:38.979 --> 01:10:44.399
and also Covenant. And then, since they weren't

01:10:44.399 --> 01:10:47.039
going to tell me which brands come out of that

01:10:47.039 --> 01:10:49.119
company, I had to go online and look for it.

01:10:51.139 --> 01:10:55.560
Here's a list of what guitars are made at that

01:10:55.560 --> 01:10:57.600
factory. From the electric guitars, they make

01:10:57.600 --> 01:11:02.680
the brands Aero, Classic Rock, EVL, Performer,

01:11:02.739 --> 01:11:09.640
G, Gene Simmons, Hollow Body, Ibanez, Sterling,

01:12:57.729 --> 01:13:01.369
I'm going to put my glasses back on. Music Man,

01:13:01.630 --> 01:13:04.369
Jackson. Jackson. Your Jackson was probably made

01:13:04.369 --> 01:13:06.949
there. Probably made there, yep. Chapman. Rob

01:13:06.949 --> 01:13:09.170
Chapman has his own line of high -end guitars.

01:13:09.630 --> 01:13:13.329
They're made right there. Gretsch. Gretsch. EVH.

01:13:13.550 --> 01:13:16.489
Wow. Yeah. Pretty much if it's an import guitar

01:13:16.489 --> 01:13:20.199
and it's not made in China. It's made at PT Court

01:13:20.199 --> 01:13:23.460
in Indonesia. Wow. And a lot of amps are made

01:13:23.460 --> 01:13:26.199
there, too. They do a good job. They do a good

01:13:26.199 --> 01:13:31.060
job. Okay. That kind of reminded me of how, like,

01:13:31.079 --> 01:13:34.199
Volkswagen owns, like, 12 different brands, from

01:13:34.199 --> 01:13:39.079
Lamborghini to Audi to whatever. And you think

01:13:39.079 --> 01:13:40.899
they're all separate brands. No, they're all

01:13:40.899 --> 01:13:49.350
VW. I got a little story here. This isn't, you

01:13:49.350 --> 01:13:51.710
know, music creeps or even entertainment, but,

01:13:51.770 --> 01:13:53.710
you know, we can do other stuff on here because

01:13:53.710 --> 01:13:56.090
we run out of music stuff or just want to do

01:13:56.090 --> 01:13:57.829
something different. Plus, we have a captive

01:13:57.829 --> 01:14:02.010
audience. Yes, this is true. A 38 -year -old

01:14:02.010 --> 01:14:05.310
man named Sergi, who was taking part in a corporate

01:14:05.310 --> 01:14:09.229
holiday party at the Ingristolov Game and Tables

01:14:09.229 --> 01:14:13.630
cooking studio in Moscow, was rushed to surgery

01:14:13.630 --> 01:14:16.229
after drinking a cocktail that ruptured his stomach.

01:14:16.489 --> 01:14:22.210
Oh. Yeah. Metro UK reported on December 25th,

01:14:22.210 --> 01:14:26.789
so Christmas, the liquid nitrogen -infused drink

01:14:26.789 --> 01:14:29.770
was part of a crypto, a chiro show, not crypto,

01:14:29.890 --> 01:14:34.869
a cryo show being put on by one of the culinary

01:14:34.869 --> 01:14:37.909
school chefs. Liquid nitrogen is used by the

01:14:37.909 --> 01:14:41.289
chef and mixologist to flash chilled drinks and

01:14:41.289 --> 01:14:43.609
provide dramatic effects. Yeah, I've seen that.

01:14:43.810 --> 01:14:46.550
Yeah, I have too. But because the liquid expands

01:14:46.550 --> 01:14:49.989
rapidly into gas when exposed to room temperatures,

01:14:50.470 --> 01:14:52.890
it's critical that the drinks are not consumed

01:14:52.890 --> 01:14:55.329
before the nitrogen has had a chance to fully

01:14:55.329 --> 01:14:59.090
evaporate. Ah, good point. Yep. Witnesses at

01:14:59.090 --> 01:15:00.850
the Moscow event claimed that they were given

01:15:00.850 --> 01:15:03.770
no warnings by the chef or the staff of the danger

01:15:03.770 --> 01:15:06.750
the cocktail presented. Sergei underwent surgery

01:15:06.750 --> 01:15:09.649
and remained in serious condition at the time

01:15:09.649 --> 01:15:13.460
of the report. This is the 26th of December.

01:15:13.619 --> 01:15:16.880
I guess he's okay. I have nothing else. That

01:15:16.880 --> 01:15:19.460
would kind of be like swallowing a mento and

01:15:19.460 --> 01:15:22.079
then taking a chug of Coke. Yeah, boom. Yeah.

01:15:22.239 --> 01:15:25.539
What happens there is there's a chemical in the

01:15:25.539 --> 01:15:29.119
mento that makes the Coke lose all of its carbonation

01:15:29.119 --> 01:15:31.300
all at once. Yeah, and it just blooms. Yeah,

01:15:31.319 --> 01:15:34.159
so it's not like it's a chemical explosion. It's

01:15:34.159 --> 01:15:35.779
just like, nope, all the carbonation is coming

01:15:35.779 --> 01:15:39.909
out, poof, like popping a balloon. Yeah. Nature's

01:15:39.909 --> 01:15:45.329
burden. Yeah. Gosh, things expand. Water expands

01:15:45.329 --> 01:15:48.649
1 ,600 times its size when it turns to steam.

01:15:48.829 --> 01:15:52.390
Oh, yeah. 1 ,600 times its size. No wonder boilers

01:15:52.390 --> 01:15:55.109
blow up. Yeah, and that's when we used to make

01:15:55.109 --> 01:15:57.789
dry ice packs when I was a child. Yeah, yeah.

01:15:57.930 --> 01:16:01.729
Yes, I did that. What you did was you took like

01:16:01.729 --> 01:16:04.210
a Coke bottle, you know, a Coke Classic bottle,

01:16:04.329 --> 01:16:07.529
the thick bottle. They're shaped like a woman,

01:16:07.630 --> 01:16:09.810
kind of. Yeah. Yeah, I think that's the whole

01:16:09.810 --> 01:16:13.029
idea behind it. Yeah. And because of those grooves

01:16:13.029 --> 01:16:16.149
in it, it made the gas have a hard time to escape.

01:16:18.029 --> 01:16:20.970
Hey there, slap nuts. It's time for the Creeps

01:16:20.970 --> 01:16:26.289
Music News. Hey, my little pumpkin seeds. This

01:16:26.289 --> 01:16:29.670
is Johnny Rohypnol with your music news. John

01:16:29.670 --> 01:16:33.090
Karabi, former lead singer of Motley Crue and

01:16:33.090 --> 01:16:36.319
The Scream. has a new album coming out on April

01:16:36.319 --> 01:16:39.560
24th called New Day. You can pre -order the album

01:16:39.560 --> 01:16:42.880
online. The effort features guitars like Richard

01:16:42.880 --> 01:16:45.960
Fortis from Guns N' Roses, Paul Taylor from winger

01:16:45.960 --> 01:16:50.180
Steve Perry on keyboards, Marty Freckerson, producer

01:16:50.180 --> 01:16:52.819
of Multi -Instrumentalist, and Charlie Starr

01:16:52.819 --> 01:16:55.720
from Blackberry Smoke on guitar solos, alongside

01:16:55.720 --> 01:16:59.340
Evan Freckerson on drums and bass. This should

01:16:59.340 --> 01:17:01.880
be a pretty good album. Sure has a lot of talent

01:17:01.880 --> 01:17:06.060
to go with it. This is Johnny Rohypno. That was

01:17:06.060 --> 01:17:08.819
your music news. And remember, bar chords are

01:17:08.819 --> 01:17:14.819
bullshit. It expanded faster than what it could

01:17:14.819 --> 01:17:18.000
go to the top. And so you had to be way away

01:17:18.000 --> 01:17:19.760
from it. And if it didn't go off, you didn't

01:17:19.760 --> 01:17:22.560
get near it for a few days. Yeah. Because it

01:17:22.560 --> 01:17:27.859
was very erratic sometimes. I remember forgetting

01:17:27.859 --> 01:17:30.060
about it, doing something else. I'd be down the

01:17:30.060 --> 01:17:31.720
road, fucking around with a skateboard. Boom!

01:17:31.920 --> 01:17:35.199
Yeah. oh, wow, it went off. Yeah. Hope nobody

01:17:35.199 --> 01:17:38.199
was there. Yeah, all it takes is one little tip

01:17:38.199 --> 01:17:40.000
over the edge, and then the chain reaction takes

01:17:40.000 --> 01:17:42.560
over. Yeah, I mean, this is literally like two

01:17:42.560 --> 01:17:45.000
hours later. I'm like jumping ramps or some shit,

01:17:45.060 --> 01:17:47.779
and then boom. I told my friend Brian, I go,

01:17:47.819 --> 01:17:50.399
oh, yeah, yeah, I was down at a city lake trying

01:17:50.399 --> 01:17:56.079
to blow the dam up. Yeah. So, all right, cool.

01:17:56.720 --> 01:18:00.640
You got something? Not at the moment. Okay, let

01:18:00.640 --> 01:18:04.710
me see here now. I remember seeing people experiment

01:18:04.710 --> 01:18:07.250
with liquid nitrogen. If you immerse something

01:18:07.250 --> 01:18:09.829
in it, you can flash freeze it. Yes. But if you

01:18:09.829 --> 01:18:13.029
spill it on yourself, your body heat will just

01:18:13.029 --> 01:18:14.930
evaporate it, and it really won't hurt you. It

01:18:14.930 --> 01:18:18.510
won't hurt you. People get a cup of it thrown

01:18:18.510 --> 01:18:22.090
in their face. It doesn't hurt. It just all evaporates

01:18:22.090 --> 01:18:23.850
immediately because your body warms it up so

01:18:23.850 --> 01:18:25.869
quickly. Yeah, it looks like it's going to hurt,

01:18:26.010 --> 01:18:27.829
but actually it doesn't. If you did that with

01:18:27.829 --> 01:18:29.670
boiling water, then hell yeah, it's going to

01:18:29.670 --> 01:18:33.229
hurt. That's going to be different. But if you

01:18:33.229 --> 01:18:35.430
immerse your face in it like bobbing for apples,

01:18:35.590 --> 01:18:39.310
you're going to freeze your face off. Yeah, bobbing

01:18:39.310 --> 01:18:43.189
for apples. We used to do that. Yeah, let's all

01:18:43.189 --> 01:18:46.350
share our spit. I never did. No, I never did.

01:18:47.369 --> 01:18:49.130
That's all right. Number one, I don't like apples

01:18:49.130 --> 01:18:51.329
that well. You know, well enough to do that.

01:18:51.689 --> 01:18:53.989
Number two, how about if I just walk over there

01:18:53.989 --> 01:18:56.550
where there's a pile of apples. You fucking grab

01:18:56.550 --> 01:18:58.760
one of them and eat it. Yeah, I think I'll do

01:18:58.760 --> 01:19:01.500
that. Yeah, I remember as a kid going to a birthday

01:19:01.500 --> 01:19:03.260
party where they were bobbing for apples, and

01:19:03.260 --> 01:19:05.520
the first kid I saw him lift his head out of

01:19:05.520 --> 01:19:07.239
the barrel with the apple, and just the long

01:19:07.239 --> 01:19:09.819
streamers of drool coming out. I was like, uh

01:19:09.819 --> 01:19:13.039
-oh. No, no, thank you. No way. No, thank you.

01:19:13.060 --> 01:19:18.140
Yeah. All right. After denying requests for a

01:19:18.140 --> 01:19:20.420
number of enemy license plates on the grounds

01:19:20.420 --> 01:19:23.859
that they requested tags were obscene or inflammatory,

01:19:24.380 --> 01:19:27.939
Illinois Secretary of State Alexa Koulianis,

01:19:28.020 --> 01:19:33.739
close enough, created a YouTube video in which

01:19:33.739 --> 01:19:38.000
he read off some of his favorite, including ibuprofen,

01:19:38.039 --> 01:19:41.539
which is spelled like ibuprofen almost. Yeah.

01:19:41.560 --> 01:19:50.159
I -B -I -B -POOP. With an N on it. The next one

01:19:50.159 --> 01:19:53.479
is Send Nudes, which is abbreviation S -N -D

01:19:53.479 --> 01:20:00.100
-N -U -D -Z. Yeah. Badass Mom. Oh, gosh. B -D

01:20:00.100 --> 01:20:07.779
-A -S -M -O -M. N, iCup, which is abbreviation

01:20:07.779 --> 01:20:14.779
for I -C -U -P. All right. Giannullis is actually

01:20:14.779 --> 01:20:16.819
how you pronounce the name. After a further review,

01:20:17.060 --> 01:20:19.680
Giannullis and his staff appreciate the creativity

01:20:19.680 --> 01:20:22.819
of the state's drivers. He advised them to keep

01:20:22.819 --> 01:20:25.220
it clean to avoid ending up on the naughty list.

01:20:26.260 --> 01:20:31.720
WBEZ reported on the 26th. Funny. Yeah, pretty

01:20:31.720 --> 01:20:35.640
good. How long we got? An hour and 15. All right.

01:20:35.699 --> 01:20:37.840
You got something you want to keep going? I remember

01:20:37.840 --> 01:20:41.500
when personalized plates came to Missouri, I

01:20:41.500 --> 01:20:44.300
started hearing stories about, personalized plates

01:20:44.300 --> 01:20:48.399
in other places. And it was common at first for

01:20:48.399 --> 01:20:52.279
people to get their last name as the plate and

01:20:52.279 --> 01:20:55.199
then a number. It was like, you know, one parent's

01:20:55.199 --> 01:20:58.159
car was, you know, Jones 1, and the mom's was

01:20:58.159 --> 01:21:01.020
Jones 2, and the daughter's was Jones 3. Tempered

01:21:01.020 --> 01:21:03.640
after Air Force 1 and Air Force 2 and all that.

01:21:04.100 --> 01:21:06.699
But there was a guy whose last name was Hooker.

01:21:08.060 --> 01:21:10.619
And he wanted personalized license plates. And

01:21:10.619 --> 01:21:12.579
they said, you know, he wanted hooker one, hooker

01:21:12.579 --> 01:21:14.500
two, hooker three. And they said, no, no, this

01:21:14.500 --> 01:21:18.039
is obscene. So he went and looked up the origin

01:21:18.039 --> 01:21:21.840
of the word hooker. And it was a Civil War general

01:21:21.840 --> 01:21:24.779
whose last name was Hooker who always had women

01:21:24.779 --> 01:21:26.720
hanging around and he'd sleep with one or two

01:21:26.720 --> 01:21:29.399
or three or more at night. So the girls hanging

01:21:29.399 --> 01:21:32.979
around his tent were called Hooker's Girls, which

01:21:32.979 --> 01:21:37.060
was shortened to Hookers. So it always was a

01:21:37.060 --> 01:21:39.920
last name. It has never been anything else but

01:21:39.920 --> 01:21:42.640
a last name. Did he get to use it? He got it.

01:21:42.800 --> 01:21:45.399
Wow. That convinced the stage, like, okay, you

01:21:45.399 --> 01:21:49.819
get it. It's a last name. I think it'd be pretty

01:21:49.819 --> 01:21:51.600
evident. They'd look at his driver's license.

01:21:51.819 --> 01:21:56.899
Okay, hooker. Oh, okay. Yeah. I got some more

01:21:56.899 --> 01:22:01.579
tour stuff. Good, good, good. Rush's 50 -something

01:22:01.579 --> 01:22:05.800
tour. June 7th through December 3rd. Yeah, I

01:22:05.800 --> 01:22:07.699
tend to forget about them because they've got

01:22:07.699 --> 01:22:10.340
a new drummer now. Yeah, they do. Of course,

01:22:10.359 --> 01:22:13.539
still Kurt is no longer on this earth, so you

01:22:13.539 --> 01:22:18.239
cannot... And it's Annika Nils, Niles, something

01:22:18.239 --> 01:22:20.739
like that. Niles, yeah, she's really good. She

01:22:20.739 --> 01:22:22.800
is, and she's got a really interesting style.

01:22:23.140 --> 01:22:25.699
Yeah, I like her, especially in the role of Newt

01:22:25.699 --> 01:22:28.460
Kurt. And everything I've seen her play, she's

01:22:28.460 --> 01:22:32.079
had just a very... standard smallish kit. And

01:22:32.079 --> 01:22:34.779
she gets a ton of sound out of just a few things,

01:22:34.939 --> 01:22:37.840
which has always impressed me. Oh, yeah, I know.

01:22:38.060 --> 01:22:40.100
Yeah, it's going to be really good. It's not

01:22:40.100 --> 01:22:42.979
around here, so. But it's going to be really

01:22:42.979 --> 01:22:45.359
good. But they still never have addressed the

01:22:45.359 --> 01:22:47.840
fact that Alex Lifeson said, my hand is shot,

01:22:47.920 --> 01:22:50.039
I can't play anymore, I'm retiring because I

01:22:50.039 --> 01:22:53.020
can't play anymore. Dead babies. Yeah. Stem cells

01:22:53.020 --> 01:22:55.420
from ritualistically murdered babies. Allegedly.

01:22:55.560 --> 01:23:06.250
Yeah. Yeah, I would love to see this because

01:23:06.250 --> 01:23:09.770
they got a really good drummer. Yeah, I think

01:23:09.770 --> 01:23:13.350
she's worthy. I do too. I think the fact that

01:23:13.350 --> 01:23:16.710
she's young and female is going to help a lot

01:23:16.710 --> 01:23:18.810
of people get over the, you ain't Neil Burt,

01:23:18.869 --> 01:23:20.850
man. No, I know. Because if they had some old

01:23:20.850 --> 01:23:23.449
guy that was his size and kind of looked like

01:23:23.449 --> 01:23:25.670
him, then people would hate on him. But she is

01:23:25.670 --> 01:23:28.729
so totally different that you pretty much got

01:23:28.729 --> 01:23:31.270
to take her. You kind of have to do that because

01:23:31.270 --> 01:23:33.310
Neil Peart was so good. Who the fuck is going

01:23:33.310 --> 01:23:36.189
to just go in there and go, oh, okay, that's

01:23:36.189 --> 01:23:38.670
good. They're going to go, I don't know. Have

01:23:38.670 --> 01:23:41.149
you heard his stuff? I mean, when Simon Phillips

01:23:41.149 --> 01:23:45.149
replaced Keith Moon in The Who, he got hate for

01:23:45.149 --> 01:23:46.909
a little bit. And then people realized, whoa,

01:23:47.109 --> 01:23:50.810
this kid's good. He's really freaking good. So,

01:23:50.850 --> 01:23:54.850
you know, all was forgiven. Jakey Lee taking

01:23:54.850 --> 01:23:59.720
over for Randy Roach. Uh -huh. Of course, Jakey

01:23:59.720 --> 01:24:01.460
Lee did it with a completely different style,

01:24:01.619 --> 01:24:05.399
but was still crazy talented. Yeah, but he still

01:24:05.399 --> 01:24:07.100
had to play all the stuff that other people had

01:24:07.100 --> 01:24:10.720
played, and do it enough like the original that

01:24:10.720 --> 01:24:13.840
people were happy, but enough of his own influence

01:24:13.840 --> 01:24:16.220
so he's not just a clone. Yeah, but he did it

01:24:16.220 --> 01:24:20.319
so well. I encourage anyone to look at Jakey

01:24:20.319 --> 01:24:22.960
Lee footage of Bark at the Moon and Ultimate

01:24:22.960 --> 01:24:25.380
Sin Tour, where he's playing the Randy stuff.

01:24:25.699 --> 01:24:28.489
Yeah. And I mean, even the Tony Iommi stuff.

01:24:28.789 --> 01:24:32.750
He did that fantastic. I love the fact that the

01:24:32.750 --> 01:24:35.829
Iommi stuff he left pretty much original. It's

01:24:35.829 --> 01:24:38.810
like, listen, this wasn't Flash. I'm not playing

01:24:38.810 --> 01:24:41.430
Flash. And that's what I always respect about

01:24:41.430 --> 01:24:44.329
Jakey Lee is he can play Flash, but he'd rather

01:24:44.329 --> 01:24:47.869
write a song. He'd rather write a song that fit

01:24:47.869 --> 01:24:50.109
what he was trying to make the song sound like.

01:24:50.359 --> 01:24:52.539
And then whenever he got a chance to throw in

01:24:52.539 --> 01:24:55.359
harmonics, he would do that, you know, finger

01:24:55.359 --> 01:24:58.699
tapping or just some crazy fucking chord that

01:24:58.699 --> 01:25:01.960
stretches your hand out to an unbelievably crazy

01:25:01.960 --> 01:25:04.779
way that no one else could do. Yeah, yeah. I

01:25:04.779 --> 01:25:07.420
remember some of the compositions my father wrote,

01:25:07.479 --> 01:25:10.039
he would include a lot of dissonance. You know,

01:25:10.039 --> 01:25:12.399
just some weird oddball chord out of nowhere

01:25:12.399 --> 01:25:14.859
that at first sounded like it was a mistake,

01:25:14.939 --> 01:25:17.399
but then you're like, no, that does kind of fit

01:25:17.399 --> 01:25:19.100
because it's what you do with it afterwards.

01:25:19.960 --> 01:25:22.579
Yes. Of course, there was one time where he wrote

01:25:22.579 --> 01:25:24.619
that, you know, lift the lid of the piano and

01:25:24.619 --> 01:25:27.300
drop a number 32 cold chisel onto the strings.

01:25:27.600 --> 01:25:32.079
And whatever that sounds like. I love that. To

01:25:32.079 --> 01:25:34.159
me, that's really cool. Of course, that's really

01:25:34.159 --> 01:25:36.899
damaging to the piano. Well, you want to do it

01:25:36.899 --> 01:25:38.640
to someone else's piano. Yeah, definitely do

01:25:38.640 --> 01:25:41.060
it to someone else's. But yeah, that's kind of

01:25:41.060 --> 01:25:43.140
a hallmark of my dad's compositions. There's

01:25:43.140 --> 01:25:45.979
a lot of dissonance. But it never sounded ugly

01:25:45.979 --> 01:25:48.420
to me. It just sounded, well, that's dad. I mean,

01:25:48.479 --> 01:25:51.500
that's pretty much shaky. on a lot of areas,

01:25:51.840 --> 01:25:55.119
too, is that's what he did. Yeah. Or it's kind

01:25:55.119 --> 01:25:58.960
of like Paul Rogers with Queen. Yeah, yeah. Paul

01:25:58.960 --> 01:26:02.279
Rogers sounded like Paul Rogers on all the Freddie

01:26:02.279 --> 01:26:05.739
parts because he knew not to do that. Yeah. He's

01:26:05.739 --> 01:26:08.079
like, no, I can't sound like Freddie, so I'm

01:26:08.079 --> 01:26:10.580
not going to. So I'm going to do what I do. Yeah,

01:26:10.580 --> 01:26:13.159
it's kind of like along the same lines of a band

01:26:13.159 --> 01:26:15.479
that does an incredibly good remake of somebody

01:26:15.479 --> 01:26:17.720
else's song, only now you're doing it on a continuous

01:26:17.720 --> 01:26:21.340
basis. Yeah, yeah. Because like Molly Hatchett's

01:26:21.340 --> 01:26:24.340
versions of Dreams I'll Never See is gorgeous.

01:26:24.699 --> 01:26:27.560
The Allman Brothers original is equally gorgeous,

01:26:27.739 --> 01:26:29.800
and they're totally different from each other.

01:26:29.939 --> 01:26:32.060
And a lot of people don't even know. Yeah, yeah.

01:26:32.600 --> 01:26:35.100
I watched a long documentary about the Allman

01:26:35.100 --> 01:26:36.600
Brothers, and it's pretty interesting, and also

01:26:36.600 --> 01:26:39.689
one on Chevy Chase. I'm Chevy Chase and you're

01:26:39.689 --> 01:26:43.390
not? Yeah, dude was abused relentlessly as a

01:26:43.390 --> 01:26:46.010
child. His mother, I think, was schizophrenic.

01:26:46.090 --> 01:26:48.569
She'd wake him up every morning by slapping him

01:26:48.569 --> 01:26:52.109
in the face as hard as she could. So he was screwed

01:26:52.109 --> 01:26:54.949
up from a real early age, and he's a blurter.

01:26:55.109 --> 01:26:58.750
I mean, he has trouble thinking something and

01:26:58.750 --> 01:27:01.689
not saying it, no matter how cruel or ugly or

01:27:01.689 --> 01:27:07.420
nasty or offensive it is. And he knows he does

01:27:07.420 --> 01:27:09.779
it, and he's stopped apologizing for it. He's

01:27:09.779 --> 01:27:12.100
just like, this is who I am. This is why I can't

01:27:12.100 --> 01:27:14.680
help it. I'm just me. So, you know, deal with

01:27:14.680 --> 01:27:17.380
it or don't. Well, you're not him, so then. Yeah.

01:27:18.279 --> 01:27:21.520
I love the time where he changed. Usually he

01:27:21.520 --> 01:27:24.659
would open up Weekend Update by saying, I am

01:27:24.659 --> 01:27:27.159
Chevy Chase, and you're not. I used to love that.

01:27:27.199 --> 01:27:29.119
Just look on its face. There was one time where

01:27:29.119 --> 01:27:30.859
he opened it and said, I am Chevy Chase, and

01:27:30.859 --> 01:27:35.760
you're touching yourself. And, you know, if you've

01:27:35.760 --> 01:27:37.520
got your arms crossed, you are touching yourself.

01:27:38.460 --> 01:27:43.819
Yes. But originally, Chevy wanted to have a pseudonym,

01:27:43.859 --> 01:27:46.560
like make the Weekend Update guy a character

01:27:46.560 --> 01:27:49.039
with a different name. And Lorne Michaels was

01:27:49.039 --> 01:27:50.880
like, nope, no, you've just got to be Chevy Chase

01:27:50.880 --> 01:27:54.840
and be yourself. Just be you reading these. But,

01:27:54.859 --> 01:27:57.239
I mean, really, he did it perfectly. So you can't

01:27:57.239 --> 01:27:59.880
really get mad at him. He knew what he was doing.

01:28:00.479 --> 01:28:03.000
And another thing about the current Chevy Chase,

01:28:03.680 --> 01:28:06.319
is a number of years back he had heart failure

01:28:06.319 --> 01:28:11.300
and his heart had stopped for a while and they

01:28:11.300 --> 01:28:14.800
got it going again. But that kind of thing can

01:28:14.800 --> 01:28:19.319
induce serious memory loss. And he says, there's

01:28:19.319 --> 01:28:22.939
a lot of things I just cannot remember. As you

01:28:22.939 --> 01:28:24.979
say, I did it okay. I probably did. That sounds

01:28:24.979 --> 01:28:28.020
like me. But he was talking about his relationship

01:28:28.020 --> 01:28:31.539
with the first openly gay character or actor.

01:28:32.359 --> 01:28:36.079
a comedian on Saturday Night Live. And apparently

01:28:36.079 --> 01:28:38.720
he said something really ugly and cruel to him.

01:28:39.300 --> 01:28:41.819
And the guy just kind of laughed it off at the

01:28:41.819 --> 01:28:44.279
time. But later in his autobiography, he wrote

01:28:44.279 --> 01:28:46.520
about it and how horrible it felt and how it

01:28:46.520 --> 01:28:49.539
hurt him deeply. And when they told Chevy Chase

01:28:49.539 --> 01:28:53.000
about that, his impulse was, that's a lie. I

01:28:53.000 --> 01:28:55.460
never did that. I would never say that. And they

01:28:55.460 --> 01:28:57.840
said, well, it was in his book. He wrote about

01:28:57.840 --> 01:28:59.920
his autobiography and other people have learned

01:28:59.920 --> 01:29:02.199
about it. And he kind of looked around and he

01:29:02.199 --> 01:29:05.699
said, well, I have memory loss. I mean, I probably

01:29:05.699 --> 01:29:07.699
did it, and I just don't remember it, so I thought

01:29:07.699 --> 01:29:10.539
it was a lie. But, yeah, I probably did it. I

01:29:10.539 --> 01:29:12.859
just do things like that, and I don't know why.

01:29:13.020 --> 01:29:15.640
So I started feeling a lot more sympathy for

01:29:15.640 --> 01:29:18.220
him as a person because he really doesn't have

01:29:18.220 --> 01:29:20.899
full control of himself. I get it now. And it's

01:29:20.899 --> 01:29:22.840
not his fault. None of it's his fault. I get

01:29:22.840 --> 01:29:26.119
it now. At the time, I did not. So I would encourage

01:29:26.119 --> 01:29:28.079
you to watch. It's called I'm Chevy Chase and

01:29:28.079 --> 01:29:30.739
You're Not. I forget which network it was on,

01:29:30.760 --> 01:29:33.060
but it was good. Is it on Netflix? No, it was

01:29:33.060 --> 01:29:34.899
on broadcast TV. Was it on broadcast TV? Well,

01:29:34.979 --> 01:29:36.760
it was on a cable channel, obviously. I've got

01:29:36.760 --> 01:29:38.640
it on my DVR. I'll look up and see what channel

01:29:38.640 --> 01:29:45.020
it is. Okay, ACDC. Power Up Tour, July 11th,

01:29:45.020 --> 01:29:47.159
September 29th. That's a pretty good little run.

01:29:47.439 --> 01:29:49.579
I wonder if they'll have Steve Young on the rhythm

01:29:49.579 --> 01:29:52.659
guitar. Because Malcolm's gone, and then they

01:29:52.659 --> 01:29:55.800
had Steve, and I think there's one other. cousin

01:29:55.800 --> 01:29:57.899
that they bring in occasionally. Yeah, I don't

01:29:57.899 --> 01:29:59.960
know who it is. Steve, you couldn't tell the

01:29:59.960 --> 01:30:02.579
difference. No, they look the same. That's Malcolm

01:30:02.579 --> 01:30:10.279
Young up there. Actually, he died. Bon Jovi's

01:30:10.279 --> 01:30:15.060
Forever Tour. Wow. Let's see if Richie Sambora

01:30:15.060 --> 01:30:19.239
is back. No, Phil X. It's still Phil X. July

01:30:19.239 --> 01:30:22.380
7th through the 26th. Phil X, he was doing the

01:30:22.380 --> 01:30:26.970
tour with Triumph. Yes. But I guess he decided

01:30:26.970 --> 01:30:29.409
to join Bon Jovi again. Yeah, the dates probably

01:30:29.409 --> 01:30:32.930
don't conflict. They don't interact, yeah. They

01:30:32.930 --> 01:30:35.510
don't cross over. It's interesting, he's doing

01:30:35.510 --> 01:30:38.529
two of those big nostalgia tours in the same

01:30:38.529 --> 01:30:41.010
year. Oh, I know. And also, he said that he got

01:30:41.010 --> 01:30:44.510
reintroduced to Bon Jovi after playing with him

01:30:44.510 --> 01:30:49.689
for years. He was doing a small gig around his

01:30:49.689 --> 01:30:52.310
hometown, I think in Florida somewhere. Yeah.

01:30:53.789 --> 01:30:56.310
He gets a call saying, you've got to answer this

01:30:56.310 --> 01:30:58.289
immediately. The guy's insisting. He says it's

01:30:58.289 --> 01:31:01.310
an emergency. So he goes behind stage. Yeah.

01:31:01.810 --> 01:31:04.670
Hey, this is fun. Just jump on Joby. Can you

01:31:04.670 --> 01:31:07.750
be out here tonight? Out where? Washington State.

01:31:08.210 --> 01:31:10.609
I think it's like Seattle or something like that.

01:31:10.770 --> 01:31:12.670
Yeah. He goes, I need you to play tonight, and

01:31:12.670 --> 01:31:16.050
I need you to play following the dates. Okay.

01:31:16.210 --> 01:31:22.229
There you go. Let me go quit. He hung up. Hey,

01:31:22.289 --> 01:31:24.670
guys, I quit. Bye. Hey, John, I'll be there.

01:31:25.289 --> 01:31:27.170
Yeah, that's right. He was a member of Bon Jovi

01:31:27.170 --> 01:31:29.170
for a while, and he was also a member of Triumph

01:31:29.170 --> 01:31:30.470
for a while. Yeah, he took over. So it kind of

01:31:30.470 --> 01:31:32.569
makes sense to bring him back for the tours.

01:31:33.170 --> 01:31:38.510
Yeah, he took over for, he actually took over

01:31:38.510 --> 01:31:41.369
for Richie Sambora. That's how long he's been

01:31:41.369 --> 01:31:45.810
with the band. Wow. Yeah. It wasn't always Phil

01:31:45.810 --> 01:31:49.649
X, but he was there from the start of the...

01:31:50.159 --> 01:31:52.539
of uh sambora leaving and another thing is i

01:31:52.539 --> 01:31:55.920
found interesting is sambora was not fired he

01:31:55.920 --> 01:32:00.300
quit yeah he has disputed that but every now

01:32:00.300 --> 01:32:02.359
and then sometimes he'll say i quit sometimes

01:32:02.359 --> 01:32:05.159
he said i was fired he waffles on that but john

01:32:05.159 --> 01:32:09.800
bon jovi said he quit on us no and uh he could

01:32:09.800 --> 01:32:11.539
have meant something slightly different like

01:32:11.539 --> 01:32:13.760
he just didn't care anymore or something but

01:32:13.760 --> 01:32:17.840
um And according from what I heard, this was

01:32:17.840 --> 01:32:20.840
Eddie Trunk, I do believe. And Eddie Trunk asked

01:32:20.840 --> 01:32:22.319
me, he goes, so what happened to you being let

01:32:22.319 --> 01:32:24.979
go? And he goes, I was not let go. He goes, I

01:32:24.979 --> 01:32:27.119
quit. He said, I want to do my own thing. He

01:32:27.119 --> 01:32:29.140
said, there's no way I could being attached to

01:32:29.140 --> 01:32:32.060
such a prolific band like John. True, there's

01:32:32.060 --> 01:32:34.020
just no time left. Yeah, and I got what he's

01:32:34.020 --> 01:32:35.420
saying the way he explained it. I was like, I

01:32:35.420 --> 01:32:37.819
get it. You know, he made enough money, he made

01:32:37.819 --> 01:32:40.329
enough fame. He wanted to do what he wanted to

01:32:40.329 --> 01:32:42.949
do. He's a huge Hendrix fan, and he has kind

01:32:42.949 --> 01:32:45.850
of wanted to do some stuff like that. I think

01:32:45.850 --> 01:32:48.750
he even toured doing some sort of a Hendrix type

01:32:48.750 --> 01:32:53.869
of a cover for a while. It's odd. I remember

01:32:53.869 --> 01:32:57.689
at the time, the statement coming out from the

01:32:57.689 --> 01:33:01.550
band, from Jon Bon Jovi specifically, was that

01:33:01.550 --> 01:33:05.729
Richie Sambora had emotional problems and had

01:33:05.729 --> 01:33:09.100
mental issues. And couldn't handle it, blah,

01:33:09.199 --> 01:33:11.119
blah, blah. If you look at his love life, you

01:33:11.119 --> 01:33:14.939
may have a point. Yeah, yeah. A lot of weird

01:33:14.939 --> 01:33:17.380
shit has happened in that whole area. That's

01:33:17.380 --> 01:33:24.600
true. Maybe so. How about Robert Plant? Saving

01:33:24.600 --> 01:33:29.279
Grace tour with Saving Grace and Suzy Dean. And

01:33:29.279 --> 01:33:31.560
if you go there expecting any Led Zeppelin songs,

01:33:31.859 --> 01:33:36.159
you're foolish. Yep. Not a single one, let me

01:33:36.159 --> 01:33:38.619
tell you. He will not play them. I mean, look,

01:33:38.680 --> 01:33:40.500
he's always said that he can't do this stuff

01:33:40.500 --> 01:33:43.319
anymore, but I think a lot of it is just simply

01:33:43.319 --> 01:33:46.319
they were not good people to him at the time.

01:33:46.380 --> 01:33:49.060
They may be now. Well, one of them's dead, but,

01:33:49.119 --> 01:33:51.500
you know, him and John Paul Jones are writing

01:33:51.500 --> 01:33:54.539
music and staying loyal. I mean, Robert Plant's

01:33:54.539 --> 01:33:57.159
son passed away from a rare genetic disease,

01:33:57.180 --> 01:33:59.460
I think. Yeah, it was a stomach condition. Oh,

01:33:59.479 --> 01:34:01.439
it was a stomach condition, yeah. But I think

01:34:01.439 --> 01:34:03.760
it was genetic. Yeah, but those two that we just

01:34:03.760 --> 01:34:05.800
talked about, Bonham and Page, were so fucked

01:34:05.800 --> 01:34:07.619
up they didn't even go to the funeral. They didn't

01:34:07.619 --> 01:34:09.399
send any type of a message. They pretty much

01:34:09.399 --> 01:34:12.140
ignored it. Yeah. I'm pretty sure Robert Plant

01:34:12.140 --> 01:34:14.180
does not want to rehash that, but I'm pretty

01:34:14.180 --> 01:34:16.199
sure that has a lot to do with the fact that

01:34:16.199 --> 01:34:17.760
he doesn't want anything to do with Zeppelin

01:34:17.760 --> 01:34:22.180
anymore. Yeah, yeah. I remember hearing a saying,

01:34:22.479 --> 01:34:26.140
I'll never forget the people who saw that I was

01:34:26.140 --> 01:34:29.380
hurt and struggling and then made it worse. Yes.

01:34:29.520 --> 01:34:32.100
And I think, you know, I've got people who are

01:34:32.100 --> 01:34:35.159
now no longer part of my life because of that

01:34:35.159 --> 01:34:37.680
exact same reason. Is it some of what we talked

01:34:37.680 --> 01:34:42.239
about? Yeah. Yeah. And I imagine for Robert Plant,

01:34:42.340 --> 01:34:45.260
I imagine it's the same thing. It's like, no,

01:34:45.399 --> 01:34:47.899
I was in a horrible place and they made it worse.

01:34:48.020 --> 01:34:50.340
And I just don't ever want to be around that

01:34:50.340 --> 01:34:53.460
again. I don't blame him. Yeah. Yeah. And I think

01:34:53.460 --> 01:34:55.239
that statement right there tells you how come

01:34:55.239 --> 01:35:00.329
he is not or never has. They reformed, what,

01:35:00.350 --> 01:35:04.090
one time for, was it Live Aid or something? Something

01:35:04.090 --> 01:35:06.449
like that. And I remember they kind of got together

01:35:06.449 --> 01:35:09.989
to be in the audience while Hart performed Stairway

01:35:09.989 --> 01:35:12.710
to Heaven. Yes. So they were at least in the

01:35:12.710 --> 01:35:15.289
same theater sitting fairly close to each other.

01:35:15.409 --> 01:35:17.670
But that's the limit of their interaction. That

01:35:17.670 --> 01:35:23.430
was it right there. Yeah. So interesting. But

01:35:23.430 --> 01:35:25.710
they do have this huge project that they won't

01:35:25.710 --> 01:35:29.229
talk about. Led Zeppelin does. Yeah. And nobody

01:35:29.229 --> 01:35:31.930
really knows what it is. And it's coming out

01:35:31.930 --> 01:35:35.770
this year sometime. Right off the top of my head,

01:35:35.829 --> 01:35:37.909
I would guess it would be some sort of multimedia.

01:35:38.090 --> 01:35:41.050
It's not just going to be audio. There's going

01:35:41.050 --> 01:35:43.430
to be a significant visual component to it as

01:35:43.430 --> 01:35:46.409
well. Well, everybody's into the AI stuff, and

01:35:46.409 --> 01:35:49.930
this might be just the same. Yeah, an AI creation

01:35:49.930 --> 01:35:54.859
of a concert video or a holographic. Avatar of

01:35:54.859 --> 01:35:57.460
the members playing or something. Yeah, it's

01:35:57.460 --> 01:36:00.939
probably heavily steeped in technology. I would

01:36:00.939 --> 01:36:03.920
think so. And even if they do release a song

01:36:03.920 --> 01:36:05.960
or two, it will probably be in the same vein

01:36:05.960 --> 01:36:08.699
because, I mean, they're all well in their 80s.

01:36:08.720 --> 01:36:11.420
Yeah. They're going to do what they can do, but

01:36:11.420 --> 01:36:14.359
it's kind of like before Ace passed away, and

01:36:14.359 --> 01:36:16.300
this is actually a few years. I didn't get to

01:36:16.300 --> 01:36:18.579
see him when you did. I had to work over in the

01:36:18.579 --> 01:36:21.020
peak. I wanted to see him and Alice. I heard

01:36:21.020 --> 01:36:23.329
he was real sloppy, though. He was a bit sloppy.

01:36:23.430 --> 01:36:25.729
He was using Gene Simmons' backup band that night.

01:36:25.729 --> 01:36:27.529
Which is great. Which is a great band, yeah.

01:36:27.649 --> 01:36:29.789
But, yeah, you could hear him playing sloppy,

01:36:29.949 --> 01:36:31.750
but it never sounded bad. No, always sloppy.

01:36:31.750 --> 01:36:33.890
It was never like, ooh, that was a mistake. It

01:36:33.890 --> 01:36:36.449
was more like, eh, so what? He was an innovator,

01:36:36.510 --> 01:36:39.750
and so many people got so much from him. And

01:36:39.750 --> 01:36:41.770
they talk about it now, but at the time they

01:36:41.770 --> 01:36:44.770
didn't. Yeah, it's sad that he didn't get the

01:36:44.770 --> 01:36:48.510
public credit while he was still alive to enjoy

01:36:48.510 --> 01:36:50.989
it. Oh, yeah, but the whole point was this. I

01:36:50.989 --> 01:36:53.130
come to the realization that he can't play like

01:36:53.130 --> 01:36:57.229
he used to. And that was at the mirror store

01:36:57.229 --> 01:37:02.010
I saw him, and he was the main act. And as good

01:37:02.010 --> 01:37:04.329
as it was, I was like, you know, he can't do

01:37:04.329 --> 01:37:07.310
those fractured mirrors stuff and all that. He's

01:37:07.310 --> 01:37:09.090
just not capable of it, so you're not going to

01:37:09.090 --> 01:37:11.829
see that. So all the times I got my hopes up

01:37:11.829 --> 01:37:14.270
wanting to see this or that, and some of this

01:37:14.270 --> 01:37:19.699
really, really crazy stuff. I never saw it, and

01:37:19.699 --> 01:37:22.220
then it dawned on me, he can't do it. Otherwise

01:37:22.220 --> 01:37:24.779
he would. It's just like why Robert Plant doesn't

01:37:24.779 --> 01:37:30.560
do an immigrant song. They can't do it. A Canadian

01:37:30.560 --> 01:37:33.560
folk singer -guitarist that I've always loved

01:37:33.560 --> 01:37:36.760
is Gordon Lightfoot. And he had such a deep,

01:37:36.779 --> 01:37:41.180
resonant, distinctive voice. When I bought his,

01:37:41.380 --> 01:37:44.520
he had two Greatest Hits albums. I bought one

01:37:44.520 --> 01:37:46.380
of them. It's like, wow, these sound different.

01:37:46.539 --> 01:37:48.220
And I read the liner notes and it said these

01:37:48.220 --> 01:37:51.819
were all re -recorded. New versions with a new

01:37:51.819 --> 01:37:54.859
band. Oh, wow. Actually, not really a new band.

01:37:54.920 --> 01:37:57.199
He said, I picked band members that I've worked

01:37:57.199 --> 01:37:59.800
with the most over my time. That makes sense.

01:38:00.220 --> 01:38:02.899
He couldn't get Jim Gordon because, as far as

01:38:02.899 --> 01:38:04.479
I know, he's still in a psychiatric hospital

01:38:04.479 --> 01:38:07.439
in England for killing his mother. Yeah, he's

01:38:07.439 --> 01:38:12.439
Flash Gordon's second cousin. Yeah, I know. He

01:38:12.439 --> 01:38:15.039
was an undiagnosed schizophrenic. And Tom Gordon,

01:38:15.060 --> 01:38:17.119
the baseball player, he was his nephew. Yeah.

01:38:17.380 --> 01:38:20.300
And Commissioner Gordon from Batman. That was

01:38:20.300 --> 01:38:24.239
his great uncle. Anyway, so he listened to the

01:38:24.239 --> 01:38:26.180
voices in his head that told him to starve himself,

01:38:26.479 --> 01:38:28.439
which he did, and lost the ability to play drums.

01:38:28.560 --> 01:38:31.000
And then eventually the voices in his head said,

01:38:31.100 --> 01:38:33.560
kill your mother, which he did with a claw hammer.

01:38:33.939 --> 01:38:37.819
Yeah. So, amazing, amazing drummer. I forgot

01:38:37.819 --> 01:38:40.260
about that whole thing. That whole crazy thing.

01:38:40.439 --> 01:38:44.640
But anyway, so... Eventually, I saw on some premium

01:38:44.640 --> 01:38:47.500
channel there was a concert of Gordon Lightfoot,

01:38:47.680 --> 01:38:52.680
like, you know, current day. And I bought the

01:38:52.680 --> 01:38:55.819
video from that, and wow, his voice is nothing

01:38:55.819 --> 01:39:00.619
like it was. It's nasally and kind of weak. And

01:39:00.619 --> 01:39:04.420
it was like, oh, this is sad. It was still...

01:39:04.800 --> 01:39:06.520
I didn't regret buying it, and I didn't regret

01:39:06.520 --> 01:39:09.119
watching it, but it was like, I will never see

01:39:09.119 --> 01:39:11.899
him sing like he did back then. He just can't

01:39:11.899 --> 01:39:16.000
do it. Yeah. But God bless him. He was out there

01:39:16.000 --> 01:39:18.479
giving people what they wanted. And if you had

01:39:18.479 --> 01:39:21.140
never heard him sing before, his voice wasn't

01:39:21.140 --> 01:39:23.359
bad. It wasn't unattractive. It's kind of like

01:39:23.359 --> 01:39:25.960
Ian Gillen. Yeah, the same thing. Yeah, his voice

01:39:25.960 --> 01:39:28.460
is still good. You want to hear a highway star?

01:39:28.939 --> 01:39:31.079
Forget it. He's not going to be able to do that.

01:39:31.159 --> 01:39:33.140
But if you want to hear the midterm stuff that

01:39:33.140 --> 01:39:35.300
he can do, do yeah and the same way it sounds

01:39:35.300 --> 01:39:37.920
like the gordon lightfoot there's a lot of there's

01:39:37.920 --> 01:39:39.840
a lot of singers that do that now they settle

01:39:39.840 --> 01:39:41.600
in the middle david coverdale was doing that

01:39:41.600 --> 01:39:45.100
before he retired he wasn't doing the uh still

01:39:45.100 --> 01:39:49.619
the night screams yeah but he wasn't like whispering

01:39:49.619 --> 01:39:51.720
he was somewhere in the middle there he did what

01:39:51.720 --> 01:39:57.260
he could yeah so all right uh ringo star oh yeah

01:39:57.260 --> 01:40:01.680
i think i did hear that uh as far as i know he's

01:40:02.319 --> 01:40:05.659
He's got his son Zach back on the drums. Yes,

01:40:05.659 --> 01:40:08.020
he does, because he was unceremoniously let go

01:40:08.020 --> 01:40:10.359
by the Who. Yeah, we covered that quite a bit.

01:40:10.539 --> 01:40:14.560
Roger Daltrey's a little sissy. Sissy, yeah.

01:40:15.159 --> 01:40:19.439
He's a weaseling coward. Yes. I hope that Starkey

01:40:19.439 --> 01:40:21.560
hit him in the balls on the way out. If he could

01:40:21.560 --> 01:40:23.600
find him. He probably couldn't find him. Yeah.

01:40:24.140 --> 01:40:29.239
So, yeah, May 28th, June 14th, not a very long

01:40:29.239 --> 01:40:32.079
tour, but he is 84. Yeah, that's about two weeks,

01:40:32.119 --> 01:40:34.619
two and a half. Yeah, yeah. So him just getting

01:40:34.619 --> 01:40:36.359
out of bed and wiping his ass is pretty good

01:40:36.359 --> 01:40:41.119
at that point. Yeah. How about Santana? Oh, wow.

01:40:41.579 --> 01:40:46.079
One -list tour. And that is going to run January

01:40:46.079 --> 01:40:49.100
through May. Not bad. That's a good tour. I guess

01:40:49.100 --> 01:40:52.300
he's overcome his semi -cancellation. I guess.

01:40:52.380 --> 01:40:56.060
During a concert, he made a statement saying

01:40:56.060 --> 01:40:58.680
that he thought any kind of... gender fluidity

01:40:58.680 --> 01:41:02.399
or transgender or alternate genders was ridiculous

01:41:02.399 --> 01:41:06.960
he said uh let's see what was it he said that

01:41:06.960 --> 01:41:08.859
that's not the way he meant it it come out wrong

01:41:08.859 --> 01:41:11.220
or something so they gave him a pass i believe

01:41:11.220 --> 01:41:12.680
that's what happened if i remember correctly

01:41:12.680 --> 01:41:15.460
he was like oh no i was talking about i mean

01:41:15.460 --> 01:41:18.899
i forgot what it was yeah I didn't believe it,

01:41:18.920 --> 01:41:20.159
but the average person would probably be like,

01:41:20.199 --> 01:41:22.739
oh, okay. And I know Alice came out with something

01:41:22.739 --> 01:41:25.020
saying that he thinks all this stuff is just

01:41:25.020 --> 01:41:27.739
unnecessarily confusing for kids, and kids have

01:41:27.739 --> 01:41:29.659
enough trouble and nothing to worry about anyway.

01:41:29.680 --> 01:41:32.939
Oh, we tend to agree with that. And that wasn't,

01:41:32.939 --> 01:41:38.100
like, blatantly anti. It was just, you know,

01:41:38.359 --> 01:41:40.199
he could have made the case that, oh, I meant

01:41:40.199 --> 01:41:42.880
the way society treats them, not that it's their

01:41:42.880 --> 01:41:44.979
fault or not their parents' fault. So you could

01:41:44.979 --> 01:41:47.960
take it any one of a number of ways, but... Considering

01:41:47.960 --> 01:41:51.760
his born -again Christian attitude and upbringing,

01:41:52.039 --> 01:41:54.760
I'm pretty sure he meant this is not God's way.

01:41:55.279 --> 01:41:58.380
Yeah, he very well could have meant that, but

01:41:58.380 --> 01:42:01.180
my deal with this is something different. Kids

01:42:01.180 --> 01:42:03.840
should not be exposed to sexuality of any kind,

01:42:04.000 --> 01:42:07.960
hetero, homo, transgender, transphobic, nothing.

01:42:08.659 --> 01:42:11.539
No, that's off the plate until they turn 17 or

01:42:11.539 --> 01:42:13.159
whatever. They can figure it out on their own.

01:42:13.260 --> 01:42:15.659
The unanswered question in that whole debate

01:42:15.659 --> 01:42:18.109
of should... Could drag queens be allowed to

01:42:18.109 --> 01:42:20.810
attend story time and hospitals for little kids

01:42:20.810 --> 01:42:23.689
and libraries for little kids? The question nobody

01:42:23.689 --> 01:42:27.689
answered was, why do drag queens so badly want

01:42:27.689 --> 01:42:29.609
to be in front of your kids? Yeah, that's my

01:42:29.609 --> 01:42:30.670
question. Why do you want to do that anyhow?

01:42:30.949 --> 01:42:34.470
Yeah. Be happy with who you are. Nobody's stopping

01:42:34.470 --> 01:42:38.789
you. But you don't need to be there. Just like

01:42:38.789 --> 01:42:41.850
I don't need to be there. For me, it comes under

01:42:41.850 --> 01:42:44.479
the category of... trying to force participation

01:42:44.479 --> 01:42:47.039
in something that's their business and not mine.

01:42:47.319 --> 01:42:49.619
To me, that's wrong. You know, leave it alone.

01:42:49.739 --> 01:42:53.220
Let it happen naturally. You let it happen generically,

01:42:53.239 --> 01:42:55.180
and that's the way it's supposed to happen. Yeah.

01:42:55.220 --> 01:42:57.859
That simple. Yeah. But that's a big thing of

01:42:57.859 --> 01:43:00.819
mine. It's like, if it's legal, if it's between

01:43:00.819 --> 01:43:04.659
consenting adults, you're not hurting anyone,

01:43:04.760 --> 01:43:07.220
and I can avoid it if I want, then it's none

01:43:07.220 --> 01:43:09.720
of my business. I agree. But that last kid, if

01:43:09.720 --> 01:43:12.520
I can avoid it if I want. you know like making

01:43:12.520 --> 01:43:14.840
it illegal for you not to use somebody's pronouns

01:43:14.840 --> 01:43:17.779
you're not letting me avoid it if i want no no

01:43:17.779 --> 01:43:20.140
and i refuse to be a part of that yeah it's like

01:43:20.140 --> 01:43:23.300
look um if i'm your friend you're gonna know

01:43:23.300 --> 01:43:25.880
me better if i ever slip up yeah and i do have

01:43:25.880 --> 01:43:27.939
friends like that and they know me better yeah

01:43:27.939 --> 01:43:30.500
you know if you uh look like a man and i accidentally

01:43:30.500 --> 01:43:33.840
call you man deal with it yeah that's the way

01:43:33.840 --> 01:43:38.220
it is yeah yeah what It's odd to expect perfection

01:43:38.220 --> 01:43:41.220
on something that is kind of strange and unusual

01:43:41.220 --> 01:43:43.779
and isn't how we see the world. But suddenly

01:43:43.779 --> 01:43:46.760
we have to be perfect on it. Yeah, to me it's

01:43:46.760 --> 01:43:48.800
too much like you're going to think like this.

01:43:48.939 --> 01:43:51.800
Yeah. See, I'd rather just avoid you completely

01:43:51.800 --> 01:43:54.859
because this is just full of traps and landmines.

01:43:54.920 --> 01:43:56.819
I don't want anything to do with it. There's

01:43:56.819 --> 01:43:59.079
famous historical figures that wanted you to

01:43:59.079 --> 01:44:00.800
think identically like them, and one of them

01:44:00.800 --> 01:44:04.239
was Hitler. Yeah. So take that for what you want.

01:44:05.670 --> 01:44:10.909
All right, David Byrne. Who is the Sky Tour?

01:44:11.050 --> 01:44:14.170
So, that would be Talking Heads, right? Yeah,

01:44:14.170 --> 01:44:16.710
I really don't know if he's going to do any Talking

01:44:16.710 --> 01:44:19.289
Heads material. I don't know. March 26th, May

01:44:19.289 --> 01:44:22.289
27th, so it's a fairly lengthy tour. And you

01:44:22.289 --> 01:44:24.510
know, the last I heard from him, he said, I don't

01:44:24.510 --> 01:44:26.909
want to do music anymore, I'm done, I'm over

01:44:26.909 --> 01:44:29.649
it, I've moved past, and I'm just never going

01:44:29.649 --> 01:44:31.630
to revisit it. Suddenly, here he is doing it

01:44:31.630 --> 01:44:33.550
again. That's why I said talking heads because

01:44:33.550 --> 01:44:36.189
it's got to be the same guy. It is the same guy.

01:44:36.210 --> 01:44:38.609
There's only one David Byrne. Yeah. Giant suit.

01:44:39.069 --> 01:44:40.689
I guess he changed his mind. Stop making sense.

01:44:40.869 --> 01:44:43.289
Yeah, that's true. It looks like Alex Van Halen

01:44:43.289 --> 01:44:45.310
saying, nope, I'm retiring. It's never going

01:44:45.310 --> 01:44:48.829
to play again. Oh, Steve called. Okay. I'll do

01:44:48.829 --> 01:44:55.729
that. Yeah. So, yeah, David Byrne, he hasn't

01:44:55.729 --> 01:44:57.609
been doing any talking head stuff. No, no. So

01:44:57.609 --> 01:45:01.069
I don't look forward to doing it. Bob Dyling,

01:45:01.170 --> 01:45:03.880
Dylan. However you pronounce his name, it's very

01:45:03.880 --> 01:45:08.460
much in debate. Yeah. Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour

01:45:08.460 --> 01:45:12.060
runs March through May. Hmm. So a three -month

01:45:12.060 --> 01:45:14.020
tour. Interesting, interesting, interesting.

01:45:16.000 --> 01:45:18.779
I'm not a huge Bob Dylan fan. I call him Dylan.

01:45:18.800 --> 01:45:21.319
A lot of people call him Dylan. Yeah, he took

01:45:21.319 --> 01:45:23.600
his name from the author Dylan Thomas, which

01:45:23.600 --> 01:45:26.520
was pronounced Dylan. Okay, so Bob Dylan. Yeah.

01:45:27.239 --> 01:45:30.109
He's Robert Zimmerman. Zimmerman, yeah, that's

01:45:30.109 --> 01:45:33.770
right. Jew turned Christian. Yeah. He was, what's

01:45:33.770 --> 01:45:36.649
his name, Zimmerman down in Florida, the Trayvon

01:45:36.649 --> 01:45:39.989
Martin, that's his brother. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

01:45:40.029 --> 01:45:43.250
No, no, no, his great -great -nephew. Yeah, great

01:45:43.250 --> 01:45:45.390
-nephew. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's almost like

01:45:45.390 --> 01:45:49.569
brothers. Yeah, almost. There you go. Journey.

01:45:50.229 --> 01:45:55.970
Wow. The final Frontier tour. Well, Frontier

01:45:55.970 --> 01:45:58.850
wasn't any more than their albums. Yeah. Do they

01:45:58.850 --> 01:46:01.189
have Steve Perry back, or are they using Arnel

01:46:01.189 --> 01:46:03.949
Pineda, or do they have a new guy? Didn't Pineda

01:46:03.949 --> 01:46:07.569
retire? I'm pretty sure he did, yeah. I don't

01:46:07.569 --> 01:46:09.909
know who. I'm not sure who they got. Let me see.

01:46:11.770 --> 01:46:14.409
This is going to be interesting. Who was he?

01:46:14.829 --> 01:46:18.670
Robert Fleischman? Yeah. Yeah, but I don't think

01:46:18.670 --> 01:46:20.609
he's doing it. No, because he didn't do the team.

01:46:20.640 --> 01:46:23.500
Steve Perry parts, and also... Which he should

01:46:23.500 --> 01:46:25.939
have. Greg Raleigh, their original keyboard player,

01:46:26.079 --> 01:46:28.939
he did some of the co -lead vocals on one of

01:46:28.939 --> 01:46:32.800
their earlier albums. But he's been out of the

01:46:32.800 --> 01:46:35.140
limelight for so long, I doubt he'd want to...

01:46:35.140 --> 01:46:37.279
Plus, most people don't remember him ever being

01:46:37.279 --> 01:46:39.939
in Journey. No, that's right. No, that was Wheel

01:46:39.939 --> 01:46:41.560
in the Sky, and that was the only thing they

01:46:41.560 --> 01:46:45.420
really done. Who was touring with the lead singer

01:46:45.420 --> 01:46:50.939
of Journey? Feelin' That Way. Arnel Pineda. Oh,

01:46:51.039 --> 01:46:53.939
so he's out of retirement. Okay. I guess. He

01:46:53.939 --> 01:46:55.899
got a known quantity there. Didn't he just retire?

01:46:56.119 --> 01:46:58.579
He did, yeah. So they must have backed a dump

01:46:58.579 --> 01:47:01.619
truck full of money up to his front door. I'm

01:47:01.619 --> 01:47:05.159
not retiring. I guess. They came with a small

01:47:05.159 --> 01:47:10.100
box of cryptocurrency. Here, this is worth $3

01:47:10.100 --> 01:47:13.180
billion or nothing, depending on the day. Depending

01:47:13.180 --> 01:47:18.539
on the day, yep. I think Pineda, they... Pretty

01:47:18.539 --> 01:47:20.100
much, if they're going to do this final tour,

01:47:20.159 --> 01:47:21.699
it had to be with him because he was the most

01:47:21.699 --> 01:47:24.920
accepted guy next to Steve Perry. Yeah. And it's

01:47:24.920 --> 01:47:26.920
because of his story, you know, in Bollywood

01:47:26.920 --> 01:47:29.760
and all that, and just coming over really from

01:47:29.760 --> 01:47:32.979
nothing. Yeah, he was like a karaoke star doing

01:47:32.979 --> 01:47:36.000
Journey songs, and somebody put a video up on

01:47:36.000 --> 01:47:37.859
YouTube, and the guys in Journey songs were like,

01:47:37.899 --> 01:47:40.140
holy cow, he sounds more like Steve than Steve

01:47:40.140 --> 01:47:42.979
does. Even Steve Perry was kind of like, hey,

01:47:43.119 --> 01:47:47.180
can you do my tour? You stand backstage and sing.

01:47:47.359 --> 01:47:51.859
I'm going to move my mouth. And then finally,

01:47:52.399 --> 01:47:56.840
no, no, no, there's two more. Van Morrison. George

01:47:56.840 --> 01:48:02.220
Ivan Morrison. Yes. Or Jorge, if you're down

01:48:02.220 --> 01:48:06.979
south. Jorge Ivan Morrison. Who was convinced

01:48:06.979 --> 01:48:09.479
that he was somehow related to Jim Morrison.

01:48:09.720 --> 01:48:12.380
Because when they met, they were just like twin

01:48:12.380 --> 01:48:14.739
brothers. It's like they've been... born and

01:48:14.739 --> 01:48:16.680
raised in the same family. They were just like

01:48:16.680 --> 01:48:20.439
clicked. I didn't know that. Yeah. Jim and Van

01:48:20.439 --> 01:48:24.119
were just inseparable for a while. I wonder if

01:48:24.119 --> 01:48:25.859
it's like all in New York or something. It's

01:48:25.859 --> 01:48:29.239
February 7th through the 24th only. You know,

01:48:29.239 --> 01:48:30.979
a lot of those... I don't know how old he is.

01:48:31.119 --> 01:48:34.880
There are a number of musical acts that were

01:48:34.880 --> 01:48:36.880
scheduled in New York City that are getting cancelled

01:48:36.880 --> 01:48:41.380
now. A lot of those. Not just rock and roll,

01:48:41.479 --> 01:48:43.699
but all different kinds of music. Well, their

01:48:43.699 --> 01:48:45.819
transportation went up so much they can't afford

01:48:45.819 --> 01:48:48.899
it. That's true. But yeah, there's some new policies

01:48:48.899 --> 01:48:51.439
being put in place in New York City that a lot

01:48:51.439 --> 01:48:54.279
of touring acts are like, uh -uh. Oh, new policies.

01:48:54.739 --> 01:48:58.979
Okay. Well, let's see. What's different? Oh,

01:48:58.979 --> 01:49:01.260
oh. I think they have a communist as a mayor.

01:49:01.680 --> 01:49:05.159
Oh. Wait a minute, wait a minute. He said he

01:49:05.159 --> 01:49:07.439
wasn't. Well, he came out the other day and said

01:49:07.439 --> 01:49:10.300
we're going to. replace rugged individualism

01:49:10.300 --> 01:49:13.960
with the warmth of collectivism. I want to punch

01:49:13.960 --> 01:49:15.880
him in the face as soon as he says that. People

01:49:15.880 --> 01:49:18.380
immediately started posting memes out showing

01:49:18.380 --> 01:49:21.760
the warmth of collectivism, which is North Korea

01:49:21.760 --> 01:49:23.840
at night, which is pitch black because nobody

01:49:23.840 --> 01:49:26.979
can afford to turn on lights. Bread lines in

01:49:26.979 --> 01:49:30.920
Soviet Russia. The Berlin Wall. Yeah, it looks

01:49:30.920 --> 01:49:33.300
like warm collectivism to me. You have to put

01:49:33.300 --> 01:49:35.659
up a wall and armed guards just to keep people

01:49:35.659 --> 01:49:39.670
in. My only request is you guys stay there and

01:49:39.670 --> 01:49:42.789
accept what you elected. Leave us the fuck alone.

01:49:42.850 --> 01:49:46.329
Don't come over here. Stay there. Now, my son,

01:49:46.569 --> 01:49:49.869
Louis, is a communist. He thinks communism is

01:49:49.869 --> 01:49:54.289
a great idea. Did he ever read a history book?

01:49:54.810 --> 01:49:58.510
Yes. And he trots out the same old tired excuse

01:49:58.510 --> 01:50:01.479
that almost all communists use is... Well, you

01:50:01.479 --> 01:50:04.159
can't point to those because those weren't really

01:50:04.159 --> 01:50:06.260
communists. That wasn't real communism. Those

01:50:06.260 --> 01:50:08.260
were just dictatorships disguised as communism.

01:50:08.680 --> 01:50:11.039
Yes, and what's going to happen next time? Exactly

01:50:11.039 --> 01:50:13.079
the same thing. You cannot put all the money

01:50:13.079 --> 01:50:15.000
in one pot and put it somewhere. Someone's going

01:50:15.000 --> 01:50:17.819
to steal it. Human nature is human nature, just

01:50:17.819 --> 01:50:21.659
like AI chooses to be criminals. I think he got

01:50:21.659 --> 01:50:26.020
the thing reversed. It's not a dictatorship pretending

01:50:26.020 --> 01:50:29.979
to be communism. It's communism is a dictatorship

01:50:29.979 --> 01:50:32.630
pretending to be. something else yes communism

01:50:32.630 --> 01:50:36.350
is dictatorship no matter what kind of communist

01:50:36.350 --> 01:50:38.649
said if you have there's going to be one person

01:50:38.649 --> 01:50:42.289
or a group of people who make the important decisions

01:50:42.289 --> 01:50:45.109
and they will be corrupt and one person will

01:50:45.109 --> 01:50:47.489
rise from that group to be the overall dictator

01:50:47.489 --> 01:50:51.850
it's going to happen yeah no human nature takes

01:50:51.850 --> 01:50:54.850
over just like ai decided to be criminals whenever

01:50:54.850 --> 01:50:58.140
it's given us free will yeah same as humans you're

01:50:58.140 --> 01:51:00.420
never going to find everybody on completely.

01:51:00.479 --> 01:51:02.399
There's always going to be someone with ulterior

01:51:02.399 --> 01:51:06.579
motives that is always going to want to get by

01:51:06.579 --> 01:51:09.079
and steal everything. I think the most important

01:51:09.079 --> 01:51:13.560
thing that could happen to help the human race

01:51:13.560 --> 01:51:16.579
would be if we all naturally developed telepathic

01:51:16.579 --> 01:51:18.359
abilities to where we all knew what each other

01:51:18.359 --> 01:51:21.859
was thinking and doing. Nobody had any secrets

01:51:21.859 --> 01:51:25.699
ever. We'd all learn to behave, wouldn't we?

01:51:26.060 --> 01:51:28.680
If everybody... all over the world would instantly

01:51:28.680 --> 01:51:32.119
know everything you did, you'd watch your ass.

01:51:33.060 --> 01:51:37.819
Without exception, absolutely no exceptions whatsoever,

01:51:38.300 --> 01:51:41.079
everyone knew what everyone else was doing all

01:51:41.079 --> 01:51:44.859
the time. But maintain your individuality. Usually

01:51:44.859 --> 01:51:46.500
something like that, you become a high collective

01:51:46.500 --> 01:51:50.960
mind. But I think we need more accountability.

01:51:51.520 --> 01:51:54.590
I think you're right. I agree. And emotionally,

01:51:55.590 --> 01:51:58.189
human beings really aren't mature enough to have

01:51:58.189 --> 01:52:01.729
enormous amounts of power and wealth. We're just

01:52:01.729 --> 01:52:03.949
not mature enough. I agree. Maybe in a couple

01:52:03.949 --> 01:52:05.850
hundred years we'll be mature enough, but not

01:52:05.850 --> 01:52:10.949
now. This next one I'm kind of interested in.

01:52:12.350 --> 01:52:15.649
I never was a huge fan of his music, but I would

01:52:15.649 --> 01:52:17.310
just like to see him one time, and that's Rod

01:52:17.310 --> 01:52:19.869
Stewart. He's going to Morton Ample Theater.

01:52:20.840 --> 01:52:23.359
in Riverside or Kansas City by the river or whatever

01:52:23.359 --> 01:52:27.539
you want to call it. I was under the impression

01:52:27.539 --> 01:52:30.220
that he'd really lost his voice. So maybe he

01:52:30.220 --> 01:52:32.300
got some of those magic illegal stem cells too.

01:52:32.399 --> 01:52:34.560
Oh yeah, allegedly. To revitalize his voice.

01:52:35.180 --> 01:52:37.319
Yeah, the guy waiting for the hatchet as soon

01:52:37.319 --> 01:52:39.100
as the baby falls out, they cut his head off.

01:52:39.239 --> 01:52:42.420
Yeah, they do their satanic ritual. Smear the

01:52:42.420 --> 01:52:45.939
blood on each other. It's a part of that whole

01:52:45.939 --> 01:52:51.640
red shoe conspiracy. Yes. I wouldn't mind seeing

01:52:51.640 --> 01:52:53.439
that, but I'm probably not going to because I'm

01:52:53.439 --> 01:52:55.920
sure the tickets are jacked up. And on another

01:52:55.920 --> 01:52:57.760
note, when we're speaking about people like that,

01:52:57.819 --> 01:53:01.079
Barry Manilow has cancer really bad. He has chosen

01:53:01.079 --> 01:53:05.319
not to fight it. Yeah. And I can't blame him.

01:53:05.420 --> 01:53:08.420
Yeah. Yeah, because the treatment itself probably

01:53:08.420 --> 01:53:11.590
has a 60 % chance of killing him. Yeah, so he's

01:53:11.590 --> 01:53:13.270
just kind of like, I got what I got. He's been

01:53:13.270 --> 01:53:15.829
right out his years, hopefully in comfort and

01:53:15.829 --> 01:53:22.029
peace. Yeah. So, Barry, we wish you the best.

01:53:22.630 --> 01:53:27.149
Thank you for all your music. Was that pretty

01:53:27.149 --> 01:53:30.170
diplomatic? Yeah, I went through a whole Barry

01:53:30.170 --> 01:53:32.630
Manilow hating phase. I don't hate him. Just

01:53:32.630 --> 01:53:36.109
because of my own, you know, mental issues at

01:53:36.109 --> 01:53:40.300
the time. But I have since relaxed and... can

01:53:40.300 --> 01:53:42.840
freely admit that he was an amazing songwriter,

01:53:42.960 --> 01:53:46.920
incredible singer. I never saw him live, but

01:53:46.920 --> 01:53:50.060
millions of people did. He's obviously an excellent

01:53:50.060 --> 01:53:53.979
entertainer. All respect to him. He didn't have

01:53:53.979 --> 01:53:57.319
to be my favorite guy back then. He was just

01:53:57.319 --> 01:54:00.420
fine without my fandom. And I'm glad he was.

01:54:00.619 --> 01:54:02.579
I quit listening to him when I found out that

01:54:02.579 --> 01:54:04.239
every time you listen to him, you lose a little

01:54:04.239 --> 01:54:08.840
bit of your penis. Yeah, I've heard that. So

01:54:08.840 --> 01:54:15.079
I had to stop that. You know his initial song

01:54:15.079 --> 01:54:17.920
that was a big hit, Mandy? Yeah. He originally

01:54:17.920 --> 01:54:20.920
wrote it as Brandy, because he wrote it about

01:54:20.920 --> 01:54:24.760
his dog, and that was his dog's name. It's just

01:54:24.760 --> 01:54:27.720
so pretty. But the band Lookingglass had just

01:54:27.720 --> 01:54:30.279
come out with Brandy, You're a Fine Girl. Oh,

01:54:30.279 --> 01:54:32.300
yeah, yeah. So it's like, oh, shit, now I've

01:54:32.300 --> 01:54:33.640
got to change the name of this. So they changed

01:54:33.640 --> 01:54:37.279
it to Mandy. Pretty cool, though, which I...

01:54:37.520 --> 01:54:40.920
I think is the nickname of Amanda. Yes, probably.

01:54:41.140 --> 01:54:43.279
I think so, yeah. Because Mindy is for Melinda.

01:54:43.739 --> 01:54:47.619
Yeah, you're right. Mandy would be Amanda. Or

01:54:47.619 --> 01:54:51.100
Nelson Mandidella. Yeah, that's a pretty good

01:54:51.100 --> 01:54:54.380
one. The creator of the Mandela Effect. Yes,

01:54:54.420 --> 01:54:57.920
yes. There's the movie called The Mandela Effect

01:54:57.920 --> 01:54:59.720
that I want to watch. It keeps disappearing from

01:54:59.720 --> 01:55:01.520
my streaming services, but it looks pretty interesting.

01:55:02.460 --> 01:55:04.689
I've heard of it. It looks freaky. I'll have

01:55:04.689 --> 01:55:06.850
to check it out. That does sound interesting,

01:55:06.989 --> 01:55:11.510
actually. I'm pretty much... Well, I've got a

01:55:11.510 --> 01:55:13.369
couple other tour things, but I mean... I've

01:55:13.369 --> 01:55:14.810
got a couple things if you're interested. No,

01:55:14.810 --> 01:55:18.729
go ahead. Please do. Do you know the origin of

01:55:18.729 --> 01:55:21.850
the term conspiracy theorist or conspiracy theory?

01:55:22.109 --> 01:55:24.350
I don't know the origin. I mean, it's been around

01:55:24.350 --> 01:55:27.029
for a while, and I know people that they consider

01:55:27.029 --> 01:55:31.409
loony. Yeah, yeah. It was created by the CIA.

01:55:32.319 --> 01:55:36.319
in the wake of JFK's assassination. They formed

01:55:36.319 --> 01:55:39.180
the Warren Commission, and the Warren Commission

01:55:39.180 --> 01:55:43.140
pretty much whitewashed, no pun intended, and

01:55:43.140 --> 01:55:45.760
bullshitted everybody with this completely fake

01:55:45.760 --> 01:55:48.899
and bogus and stupidly unrealistic Warren Commission

01:55:48.899 --> 01:55:52.319
report on exactly what happened to have JFK assassinated.

01:55:53.020 --> 01:55:56.739
And internal memos from the CIA have been released

01:55:56.739 --> 01:55:59.260
under Freedom of Information Act and declassified

01:55:59.260 --> 01:56:02.390
that show... Isn't that a great... Yes, I love

01:56:02.390 --> 01:56:05.850
that. I do too. But it shows the CIA came up

01:56:05.850 --> 01:56:08.189
with the term conspiracy theory and conspiracy

01:56:08.189 --> 01:56:10.970
theorist and said we're going to make this term

01:56:10.970 --> 01:56:14.109
common and we're going to use it as an insult

01:56:14.109 --> 01:56:16.250
for people who doubt the Warren Commission's

01:56:16.250 --> 01:56:18.270
report. We're going to call them all conspiracy

01:56:18.270 --> 01:56:20.489
theorists and conspiracy theorists. That's so

01:56:20.489 --> 01:56:23.789
dumb. Yep, it was a CIA creation, a CIA operation,

01:56:23.930 --> 01:56:26.630
and people have latched onto it like it's mother's

01:56:26.630 --> 01:56:30.050
milk. Wow. Yeah, so every time you call somebody

01:56:30.050 --> 01:56:32.510
a conspiracy theorist, the CIA gets a hard -on.

01:56:35.310 --> 01:56:40.189
Of course they do. Yeah. And the last thing is,

01:56:40.210 --> 01:56:43.050
it just occurred to me, when's the last time

01:56:43.050 --> 01:56:46.649
you heard anything about NFTs, non -fungible

01:56:46.649 --> 01:56:48.689
tokens, and how they were supposed to be amazing?

01:56:48.710 --> 01:56:50.409
No, they pretty much stopped that. The last ones

01:56:50.409 --> 01:56:53.090
I heard were of Trump. Yeah, Trump offered some

01:56:53.090 --> 01:56:56.829
way back when. I think his first term. Yeah.

01:56:56.829 --> 01:56:59.970
Yeah. But the last thing I heard about it was

01:56:59.970 --> 01:57:05.750
an example used to make fun of somebody. A lot

01:57:05.750 --> 01:57:08.029
of the NFTs were what they called the bored ape.

01:57:08.289 --> 01:57:10.789
It was like a cartoon drawing of an ape smoking

01:57:10.789 --> 01:57:13.729
a cigarette looking bored. And there were endless

01:57:13.729 --> 01:57:15.909
versions of it, each one slightly different,

01:57:16.029 --> 01:57:18.989
so they could be sold as individual, you know,

01:57:18.989 --> 01:57:23.250
never to be reproduced. And this guy posted on

01:57:23.250 --> 01:57:28.479
X, he... posted a picture of the NFT, and he

01:57:28.479 --> 01:57:32.180
said, man, I bought this for $37 ,000, and now

01:57:32.180 --> 01:57:35.840
I just had to sell it for $1 ,500. I took a horrible

01:57:35.840 --> 01:57:38.720
bath on this. This wasn't a good investment.

01:57:39.539 --> 01:57:41.899
And somebody immediately replied, say, if you

01:57:41.899 --> 01:57:44.039
sold it, then you have no right to post it here.

01:57:44.140 --> 01:57:46.760
You just violated that guy's copyright, and he

01:57:46.760 --> 01:57:53.140
can come after your ass. So he posted an example

01:57:53.140 --> 01:57:55.279
of something he didn't own anymore and was not

01:57:55.279 --> 01:57:58.819
allowed to post. I'm hoping that guy he sold

01:57:58.819 --> 01:58:01.380
it to got his $1 ,500 back. I hope he did. I

01:58:01.380 --> 01:58:07.579
hope he did. Someone waiting in the brush was

01:58:07.579 --> 01:58:10.720
like, oh, really? You know, NFTs always struck

01:58:10.720 --> 01:58:14.140
me as like a piece of art. If you really love

01:58:14.140 --> 01:58:16.279
it, it's worth whatever you want to spend to

01:58:16.279 --> 01:58:18.659
get it. Yeah. But if you don't like it, then

01:58:18.659 --> 01:58:21.159
it's worth nothing. Oh, yeah. And that's the

01:58:21.159 --> 01:58:24.060
exact same with NFTs. It's just on a daily basis,

01:58:24.100 --> 01:58:26.609
people can decide. Yeah, and I really want that.

01:58:26.649 --> 01:58:28.310
I'll pay you a quarter million for it. And the

01:58:28.310 --> 01:58:31.390
next thing they decide, NF what? No, man, that

01:58:31.390 --> 01:58:33.029
was yesterday. It's kind of like my Aussie on

01:58:33.029 --> 01:58:37.529
the shelf figurine. Yeah. It's like an elf on

01:58:37.529 --> 01:58:41.010
the shelf. Half the time, I need to get it, need

01:58:41.010 --> 01:58:42.510
to get it. The other half the time, like right

01:58:42.510 --> 01:58:44.829
now, I'm like, yeah, I don't care. Yeah. Yeah,

01:58:44.829 --> 01:58:47.050
it's kind of like it depends, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

01:58:47.090 --> 01:58:49.430
Anything that depends on the mood of other people

01:58:49.430 --> 01:58:52.270
as to whether it's got value or not, I personally

01:58:52.270 --> 01:58:53.890
am not going to invest in. Oh, I'm not either.

01:58:54.270 --> 01:58:56.149
I'm not either, no, because that means there's

01:58:56.149 --> 01:58:59.210
too contingent on how people feel. Whenever you

01:58:59.210 --> 01:59:01.930
bring feelings into anything, watch out. But

01:59:01.930 --> 01:59:07.949
be careful. A lot of people in rural areas, especially

01:59:07.949 --> 01:59:11.010
this summer when AC usage is high, they're going

01:59:11.010 --> 01:59:13.750
to experience a lot of rolling blackouts because

01:59:13.750 --> 01:59:16.670
enormous data centers are being built out in

01:59:16.670 --> 01:59:19.550
the boonies. And when they want the electrical

01:59:19.550 --> 01:59:21.829
power, they're going to get it. And your town

01:59:21.829 --> 01:59:24.590
is going to be turned off. Because the data center

01:59:24.590 --> 01:59:27.670
wants the electricity. Yep. And it's like data

01:59:27.670 --> 01:59:33.069
centers, AIs, blockchain farms, all of them take

01:59:33.069 --> 01:59:35.689
enormous amount of electricity and enormous amounts

01:59:35.689 --> 01:59:38.989
of fresh, clean water for cooling. So if your

01:59:38.989 --> 01:59:42.149
town needs that too, you're second in line. And

01:59:42.149 --> 01:59:44.470
you will always be second in line. So don't get

01:59:44.470 --> 01:59:45.850
happy if they're going to build one of those

01:59:45.850 --> 01:59:48.189
near your town. Because it's going to fuck you

01:59:48.189 --> 01:59:54.359
up. Yep. Yep. So true. Yep. All right, I'm pretty

01:59:54.359 --> 01:59:56.220
much out of everything. You got anything? Me

01:59:56.220 --> 01:59:58.220
too. We're coming up on two hours. All right.

01:59:58.680 --> 02:00:00.840
Everybody, thank you so much for listening. We

02:00:00.840 --> 02:00:02.840
really appreciate it. Our numbers are outstanding.

02:00:03.359 --> 02:00:05.760
And we can't thank you guys enough. And go fuck

02:00:05.760 --> 02:00:06.079
yourself.
