for Joe, the bug guy. Oh my! What am I going

00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:16.120
to do? The cockroach just ran off with my peanut

00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:19.539
butter and jelly sandwich. An army of sugar ants

00:00:19.539 --> 00:00:21.820
pulled a switchblade on me and took my Nikes

00:00:21.820 --> 00:00:28.780
and my wallet. You better call Joe. Who the hell

00:00:28.780 --> 00:00:32.929

Dumbass. Are bugs taking over your house? Ants

00:00:56.990 --> 00:01:00.320
results. Hey, my fellow heavy breathers. This

00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:06.200
is Dash Riptide. Your music news. Hey, check

00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:08.719
it out. Iron Maiden finally gets nominated for

00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:10.739
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Like it means

00:01:10.739 --> 00:01:13.420
anything at this point. Blaze Bailey has been

00:01:13.420 --> 00:01:15.579
added to the names to be inducted with Maiden

00:01:15.579 --> 00:01:19.480
if they should get in. And they should. It's

00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:22.280
just 30 years fucking late. That's all. Good

00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:26.780
luck and up the irons, kids. This is Dash Riptide.

00:01:27.180 --> 00:01:30.340
And that was your music news. If it's too loud,

00:01:30.379 --> 00:01:41.280
you probably have ear damage, just like me. We

00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:57.620
are the music creeps. There we go. All right.

00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:01.180
First time I got three of them out, three paragraphs

00:02:01.180 --> 00:02:03.939
out. All right. In a while. I was trying to take

00:02:03.939 --> 00:02:06.819
a little bit of inspiration from Rob's new theme

00:02:06.819 --> 00:02:11.180
song. Oh, yeah, yeah, yes. I like the funk. I

00:02:11.180 --> 00:02:13.500
asked them for funky, and they fucking spiced

00:02:13.500 --> 00:02:14.919
it up, didn't they? Oh, yeah, that was awesome.

00:02:15.060 --> 00:02:17.620
It was. You want to hear a list of the loudest

00:02:17.620 --> 00:02:19.599
concerts ever recorded? Oh, that sounds like

00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:21.199
a good idea. I think I've been to a couple of

00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:25.090
them. Oh, shit. Like I said, I have tinnitus

00:02:25.090 --> 00:02:27.710
for a reason. Well, also my job, too. You know,

00:02:27.770 --> 00:02:31.870
metal work and glass work. It's not that low

00:02:31.870 --> 00:02:34.629
volume. It's not a quiet application. Yeah, it's

00:02:34.629 --> 00:02:37.430
not a quiet application, no. The first one they

00:02:37.430 --> 00:02:41.150
have on the list is Leonard Skinner, 1977. A

00:02:41.150 --> 00:02:43.090
performance in the middle of a thunderstorm saw

00:02:43.090 --> 00:02:47.370
them reach the sound decimals of 142. Oh, wow.

00:02:47.590 --> 00:02:50.900
One of the loudest ever recorded. You know, at

00:02:50.900 --> 00:02:54.039
180 decibels, it goes from sound to an actual

00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:57.360
physical force. Yes. Which ain't that far from

00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.400
140 -something. No, 40 decibels off. Actually,

00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:07.319
38 decibels off. Yeah. Yeah. The Who in 1976.

00:03:07.699 --> 00:03:09.939
Everyone knows about this one. The Who is apparently

00:03:09.939 --> 00:03:13.800
insanely loud. Yes. And horrible on their instruments.

00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:16.919
Yeah. Known for their explosive performances,

00:03:17.300 --> 00:03:19.960
the Who hit around 126 decimals at a show in

00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:26.240
London. I believe it. Yeah. Deep Purple, 1972.

00:03:27.819 --> 00:03:29.840
This wasn't even the Cal Jam. This is another

00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.000
one because the Cal Jam was notoriously loud,

00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:37.650
too. Yeah. But... All right, Deep Purple, 1972,

00:03:38.110 --> 00:03:41.729
reached 117 decimals during the performance at

00:03:41.729 --> 00:03:46.110
the 1972 Made in Japan tour. Wow. All right,

00:03:46.189 --> 00:03:50.090
so there were some deaf Japanese after that.

00:03:50.330 --> 00:03:55.090
Yeah. Motley Crue, 1984, their concerts during

00:03:55.090 --> 00:03:57.949
Shout at the Devil tour are reported to have

00:03:57.949 --> 00:04:02.969
hit 115 decimals. And here is the thing of that.

00:04:03.030 --> 00:04:06.520
They were the opening act for Ozzy. Yeah. And

00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:09.039
Ozzy let them use their equipment. He was notorious

00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:11.740
for doing that. He was not selfish. He was like,

00:04:11.780 --> 00:04:13.800
yeah. And he also didn't care how long I played,

00:04:13.860 --> 00:04:15.840
too. He was just like, do whatever you do. I

00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:19.000
got my part. That's a smart way to do it, is

00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:21.100
let's make the whole concert enjoyable instead

00:04:21.100 --> 00:04:24.060
of making the opening act suck. And also, he

00:04:24.060 --> 00:04:25.579
knew. He was like, they're not going to beat

00:04:25.579 --> 00:04:27.939
me. No. He said, they may love the band, but

00:04:27.939 --> 00:04:30.639
when I come out, everybody looks at me. Yeah.

00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:32.740
You know, and he had Jakey Lee just starting

00:04:32.740 --> 00:04:35.720
off. Some people didn't like him because... They

00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:38.019
looked at it like he took Randy Rode's job even

00:04:38.019 --> 00:04:41.920
though he died. The logic in that is just fucking

00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:44.019
ridiculous, but whatever. They're flipping him

00:04:44.019 --> 00:04:46.459
off and spitting at him and stuff. But Jakey

00:04:46.459 --> 00:04:49.259
Lee was great. Great stage presence. Played his

00:04:49.259 --> 00:04:52.860
ass off. Really good solo. A lot in the lines

00:04:52.860 --> 00:04:56.779
of Ace Frehley. Not stolen, just influenced.

00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:04.149
All right, Kiss 1977. wait they are so wrong

00:05:04.149 --> 00:05:06.910
on this oh yeah their concert at the lick it

00:05:06.910 --> 00:05:09.709
up tour was noted for reaching over 120 decimals

00:05:09.709 --> 00:05:13.709
1977 the lick it up was in the future at that

00:05:13.709 --> 00:05:15.949
point yeah they are completely wrong on that

00:05:15.949 --> 00:05:20.250
thank you ai yeah so um i'm not sure when they

00:05:20.250 --> 00:05:24.370
reached if it was 1977 i would say it was 1977

00:05:24.370 --> 00:05:29.370
because um lick it up they were becoming a different

00:05:29.370 --> 00:05:33.600
band Yeah, that was without the makeup at that

00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:35.740
point. Yeah. I remember the video and looking

00:05:35.740 --> 00:05:38.339
at their faces and thinking, ooh, you're not

00:05:38.339 --> 00:05:42.600
really attractive men. That's why. When the look

00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.639
it up video came out, that's why people realized

00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:47.540
they put on makeup. And it wasn't just Vinnie

00:05:47.540 --> 00:05:49.560
Vincent because he was not with the band. Ace

00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:51.899
was not particularly a great looking guy either.

00:05:52.060 --> 00:05:55.300
No. So anyhow, the only one that looked kind

00:05:55.300 --> 00:05:59.829
of like. Not really at... Horrible. Horrible

00:05:59.829 --> 00:06:03.370
was Peter Criss. Yeah. But still, he wasn't like

00:06:03.370 --> 00:06:05.050
the best looking guy either. No, but you don't

00:06:05.050 --> 00:06:07.250
expect your drummer to be good looking. No, no,

00:06:07.290 --> 00:06:09.509
no. No, drummers are the guy that hangs around

00:06:09.509 --> 00:06:11.490
the real musicians, right? Yes, that's what I

00:06:11.490 --> 00:06:15.009
always did. Hey, you know, I love drummer jokes.

00:06:15.250 --> 00:06:17.430
They're my favorite. My favorite one is like,

00:06:17.529 --> 00:06:19.470
what's a guy that knows a whole bunch of musicians?

00:06:20.589 --> 00:06:24.610
Drummer. What do you call a drummer whose girlfriend

00:06:24.610 --> 00:06:27.819
broke up with him? What? Homeless. Homeless.

00:06:28.980 --> 00:06:32.079
All the drummers I knew in my life, that's not

00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:35.259
far off. Not far off. The woman went to work

00:06:35.259 --> 00:06:39.019
and he sat at home going... What does a stripper

00:06:39.019 --> 00:06:40.920
do with her asshole every night before work?

00:06:41.139 --> 00:06:47.759
What? Drops them off at band practice. I don't

00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.319
like that one really well. That one caught me

00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:56.600
off guard. You being a drummer, I guess you should

00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:58.939
know all the drummer jokes. Yeah, if you've got

00:06:58.939 --> 00:07:01.019
more, email them in. I collect drummer jokes.

00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:03.500
Yeah, yeah, come on, do it. Do it. All right.

00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:05.980
Try to send me one I haven't heard before. 2douches

00:07:05.980 --> 00:07:09.040
at mail .com. TwoDouchesAtMail .com. Yep. And

00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:10.720
I've got to find that bit because I've got to

00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:12.379
start putting it back in because we're starting

00:07:12.379 --> 00:07:14.259
to get some of the same people over and over.

00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:16.500
We're trying to get new people coming in, but

00:07:16.500 --> 00:07:19.980
I only can achieve that by putting the damn bit

00:07:19.980 --> 00:07:23.339
in that tells our actual email address. It's

00:07:23.339 --> 00:07:26.420
TwoDouchesAtMail .com. Yeah. That was in a recent

00:07:26.420 --> 00:07:29.139
episode that I listened to. Yeah, it was. I just

00:07:29.139 --> 00:07:31.220
don't put it in there enough. We'll start mentioning

00:07:31.220 --> 00:07:33.639
it live. But I would also like to say we have

00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:35.500
some great listeners that are constant write

00:07:35.500 --> 00:07:38.319
-ins. They have great emails, too. Oh, yeah.

00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:40.980
Ross, Rossington, whatever. He wants to go by

00:07:40.980 --> 00:07:46.639
that name. Ronnie in Tulsa. Even Mitch. There

00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:51.259
have been others, too. Oh, we got one from Jimmy

00:07:51.259 --> 00:07:54.740
and Opal. Opal is our oldest recorded listener.

00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:58.240
She's like 87, 88. Nice. She's not doing so well,

00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:00.899
but she's hanging in there and still listening

00:08:00.899 --> 00:08:03.439
with Jimmy's help. I appreciate that. Yeah, she

00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:05.300
never was the one that could figure out the Bluetooth

00:08:05.300 --> 00:08:07.519
and all that, but Jimmy did that for her, and

00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:09.120
she heard him listening to us one day, and she

00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.779
goes, those guys are kind of funny. And she's

00:08:11.779 --> 00:08:14.959
been a regular listener ever since, so Jimmy.

00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:17.379
actually wrote in he hasn't wrote in in six months

00:08:17.379 --> 00:08:19.279
because he's had a lot of health issues with

00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:23.079
his grandma which sucks but anyhow so anyhow

00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:24.819
jimmy we're with you like always and we love

00:08:24.819 --> 00:08:29.120
you all right motorhead 1981 oh yeah known for

00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:31.759
their loud sound their performance in 1981 measured

00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:37.000
an impressive 120 decibels you know i think when

00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.440
the chiefs set the record for the loudest stadium

00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:42.899
it was like 42 I think it was on 117. Was it

00:08:42.899 --> 00:08:45.240
117? Yeah. Oh, gosh, that's quite a battle. Yeah,

00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:49.639
I think it was in the teens. Okay. Okay. I'll

00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:52.580
have to check that, but... Yeah, I'll check it

00:08:52.580 --> 00:08:54.460
later. Yeah. I don't care enough to right now.

00:08:55.379 --> 00:09:00.580
How about the Ramones in 1977? They hit 120 decibels

00:09:00.580 --> 00:09:03.360
at a concert in London. London's getting the

00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:04.820
brunt of this shit, aren't they? Yeah, a lot

00:09:04.820 --> 00:09:07.779
of them in 1977, too. Yeah, London must have

00:09:07.779 --> 00:09:10.419
been like a free game. It's like, hey, they don't

00:09:10.419 --> 00:09:13.159
care how long you turn it up. Just go in. Yeah.

00:09:13.500 --> 00:09:19.000
Wow. Yeah. How about ACDC 1991? Monsters of Rock

00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:23.250
Festival performance reached 130. You know, that's

00:09:23.250 --> 00:09:25.509
weird. I wouldn't think of ACDC as being insanely

00:09:25.509 --> 00:09:28.070
loud. No, I saw them a couple of times and they

00:09:28.070 --> 00:09:31.110
were not. They were incredibly low volume. Yeah.

00:09:32.549 --> 00:09:36.110
The show focused more on Angus Young and his

00:09:36.110 --> 00:09:40.309
theatrics. Yeah. You know, and his little schoolboy

00:09:40.309 --> 00:09:43.629
outfit kicking. I wonder if he ever got sick

00:09:43.629 --> 00:09:48.690
of that. I'm sure he had to. So, yeah, I mean...

00:09:48.690 --> 00:09:50.389
Just like Stevie Wonder's really sick and tired

00:09:50.389 --> 00:09:53.929
of pretending he's blind. Yes. I mean, dude can

00:09:53.929 --> 00:09:55.509
see. Supposedly, that is true. Yeah, there's

00:09:55.509 --> 00:09:57.230
a lot of people close to Stevie who say, oh,

00:09:57.250 --> 00:09:59.570
hell yeah, dude can see. It's just his gimmick

00:09:59.570 --> 00:10:01.149
when he was a kid, and then he couldn't get out

00:10:01.149 --> 00:10:03.950
of it. Yeah, and that, I mean, it's like pretty

00:10:03.950 --> 00:10:07.820
much common knowledge now, it seems like. Allegedly.

00:10:07.820 --> 00:10:09.899
There's a video of him driving a car. There's

00:10:09.899 --> 00:10:11.580
a video of him shooting a gun and hitting the

00:10:11.580 --> 00:10:14.580
target. It's like, dude is doing stuff that sighted

00:10:14.580 --> 00:10:17.080
people do. Although some people still don't believe

00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:20.120
it. Because they don't want to. Yep. All the

00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:23.840
evidence is there. Look it up. Allegedly. Allegedly.

00:10:23.899 --> 00:10:26.500
All right. Nicky Romero, whoever that is, 2013

00:10:26.500 --> 00:10:31.419
at the Tomorrowland Festival reached 137 decibels,

00:10:31.419 --> 00:10:34.259
making it one of the loudest electronic music.

00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:37.159
There we go. Okay. performances all right fuck

00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:39.639
nikki romero and electronic he's probably a dj

00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.139
yeah yeah fuck you nikki romero i want to go

00:10:43.139 --> 00:10:45.960
on i want to go on record saying fuck you i want

00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:48.730
to fight you Yeah. I want to kick your ass. If

00:10:48.730 --> 00:10:50.789
it's not real musicians playing real instruments,

00:10:50.990 --> 00:10:53.009
then it doesn't really count. Yeah. Yep. And

00:10:53.009 --> 00:10:56.590
if you're a club DJ like that, I could beat you

00:10:56.590 --> 00:10:58.590
with my shoe. Yeah. I could take my shoe out

00:10:58.590 --> 00:11:01.049
and beat you to death with it. Yep. Yep. I could

00:11:01.049 --> 00:11:03.470
beat you with a toddler shoe. Yes. I could beat

00:11:03.470 --> 00:11:06.570
you with, I could find a, let's see, a toothpick.

00:11:06.669 --> 00:11:10.570
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because if you do that type

00:11:10.570 --> 00:11:12.490
of music, electronic music, you are a pussy.

00:11:12.570 --> 00:11:13.809
And as a matter of fact, that's going to be in

00:11:13.809 --> 00:11:17.149
the next one. Mm. If you perform or enjoy electronic

00:11:17.149 --> 00:11:19.870
music, you're a pussy. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah.

00:11:19.929 --> 00:11:22.409
All right. And then finally, Sammy Hagar, 2008,

00:11:22.909 --> 00:11:25.789
at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. His concert

00:11:25.789 --> 00:11:30.090
peaked at 130 decibels. Wow. Wow. And he still

00:11:30.090 --> 00:11:32.629
can't drive 55, according to him. He said, nope.

00:11:32.710 --> 00:11:35.730
He said, not possible. Two of the loudest shows

00:11:35.730 --> 00:11:41.429
I remember was Blue Oyster Cult opening for Judas

00:11:41.429 --> 00:11:44.940
Priest. And Blue Oyster Cult was fine. priest

00:11:44.940 --> 00:11:47.139
came out and they're pretty freaking loud and

00:11:47.139 --> 00:11:50.899
then rob halford came out on the harley with

00:11:50.899 --> 00:11:53.460
the microphone taped to the exhaust pipe and

00:11:53.460 --> 00:11:55.860
sat there on stage revving it over and over and

00:11:55.860 --> 00:12:00.659
over and i looked at my you know my currently

00:12:00.659 --> 00:12:02.820
she's my ex but at the time we were still married

00:12:02.820 --> 00:12:05.220
we looked each other's like yeah we're out this

00:12:05.220 --> 00:12:08.960
is just stupid yeah i mean it is kind of childish

00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:11.899
to stand on stage and just make noise for the

00:12:11.899 --> 00:12:14.500
sake of making noise And a lot of people were

00:12:14.500 --> 00:12:17.419
like, well, awesome, cool. It was kind of like

00:12:17.419 --> 00:12:20.080
a priest gimmick at the time. They were this

00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:22.200
heavy metal band that was kind of mainstream.

00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:25.220
So they had to come out and shock people. And

00:12:25.220 --> 00:12:27.799
they wanted people to go home and go, Rob Halford

00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:30.299
brought his Harley on stage, and he taped the

00:12:30.299 --> 00:12:32.720
microphone to the exhaust, and he revved it up,

00:12:32.740 --> 00:12:36.240
and everybody passed out. It was so cool. I remember

00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:39.120
getting overwhelmed by Motorcycle Exhaust 2.

00:12:40.419 --> 00:12:42.779
I don't think they can do that nowadays. They

00:12:42.779 --> 00:12:45.340
get sued or something. I remember ZZ Top used

00:12:45.340 --> 00:12:48.580
to bring an actual longhorn steer on stage with

00:12:48.580 --> 00:12:50.299
them. I remember that too, yeah. And I think

00:12:50.299 --> 00:12:52.940
a coyote as well. I think so. I think you're

00:12:52.940 --> 00:12:55.000
right, yeah. Let's see. I'm trying to think of

00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:58.240
the loudest concerts I ever attended. Another

00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:01.059
one was... Motley Crue. Yeah, Motley Crue is

00:13:01.059 --> 00:13:04.039
pretty loud. But this was Megadeth opening for

00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:07.120
Alice Cooper. Oh, Metallica. Yeah, Metallica.

00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:09.529
Very loud. Stupid loud. Megadeth was loud too.

00:13:09.629 --> 00:13:12.909
Yeah, Megadeth. And it was like, you know how

00:13:12.909 --> 00:13:16.070
you put like 100 wasps in a glass jar and shake

00:13:16.070 --> 00:13:19.210
it real hard and they all go... That's what they

00:13:19.210 --> 00:13:23.090
sounded like. Just a monotone buzz coming from

00:13:23.090 --> 00:13:26.450
the stage because it was so insanely loud. You

00:13:26.450 --> 00:13:29.389
couldn't hear the drums. and it was just like

00:13:29.389 --> 00:13:31.629
a wall of noise. You couldn't hear individual

00:13:31.629 --> 00:13:33.730
notes. You couldn't tell what the song was. You

00:13:33.730 --> 00:13:35.730
couldn't hear the singing. It was just this wall

00:13:35.730 --> 00:13:39.730
of buzzing noise, and they were the opening act.

00:13:41.350 --> 00:13:44.809
And my ex and I, we got out of our seats, and

00:13:44.809 --> 00:13:47.769
we just walked around outside in the concourse

00:13:47.769 --> 00:13:50.809
hallway area of Kemper. Yeah. It rattled this

00:13:50.809 --> 00:13:53.360
whole foundation here. Okay, anyhow. But that

00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:57.059
was awful. We couldn't hang it. I mean, you put

00:13:57.059 --> 00:14:00.139
your hands over your ears, and the amount of

00:14:00.139 --> 00:14:03.379
sound pressure just pummeling your body was bad

00:14:03.379 --> 00:14:08.340
enough. But I'm sure Dave Mustaine was deep into

00:14:08.340 --> 00:14:10.539
his heroin addiction at the time. Oh, yeah, probably.

00:14:11.220 --> 00:14:13.820
Slipknot. Slipknot was really loud, too. I've

00:14:13.820 --> 00:14:16.500
heard Slipknot was awful. Ozzy started out really

00:14:16.500 --> 00:14:19.600
loud. Then he lowered the volume. The older his

00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:23.139
fans got, like, kissed it. Yeah. And as a matter

00:14:23.139 --> 00:14:25.259
of fact, the last Kiss show, the end of the road,

00:14:25.379 --> 00:14:27.779
I didn't even need air plugs. Oh, nice. And that's

00:14:27.779 --> 00:14:30.460
because they're bringing their grandchildren

00:14:30.460 --> 00:14:33.500
at this point. Yeah. The fans. Yeah. And that's

00:14:33.500 --> 00:14:36.740
when they stopped cussing, too. It was like maybe

00:14:36.740 --> 00:14:42.299
1987 or something. I went to see them. I can't

00:14:42.299 --> 00:14:44.240
remember the tour. It was without makeup when

00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:46.820
they progressed into that. Asylum tour, I believe.

00:14:47.540 --> 00:14:50.419
And I'm watching it as, I believe it was at Municipal

00:14:50.419 --> 00:14:52.399
when they used to still have concerts like that

00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:55.879
at Municipal Auditorium. And I started noticing

00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:58.360
they didn't cuss anymore. I'm like, wow, because

00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:01.720
Paul Stanley used to be up there and say fuck

00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:04.259
and all this stuff all the time. And I was like,

00:15:04.299 --> 00:15:06.200
wow, I wonder how come they cleaned up. And I

00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:08.220
started looking around, and there were people

00:15:08.220 --> 00:15:10.120
bringing their kids. And then at the end of the

00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:11.919
road, there were people bringing their grandkids.

00:15:13.370 --> 00:15:15.909
And it's a lot more important to bring in the

00:15:15.909 --> 00:15:18.210
next generation than it is to stick with your

00:15:18.210 --> 00:15:20.389
attitude and your image of before. It's like

00:15:20.389 --> 00:15:24.029
images come and go. They sold two tickets to

00:15:24.029 --> 00:15:26.409
the grandkids. Yep. Yeah, that's all they care

00:15:26.409 --> 00:15:30.919
about. Yep. So. Cool. Yep. All right, that's

00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:34.399
the list on that. You got something? Yeah. There's

00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:37.620
a Kansas City -born drummer, James Gadsden, that

00:15:37.620 --> 00:15:40.039
died recently, so I wanted to give a little overview

00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:43.919
of his career. Okay. KC -born James Gadsden,

00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:46.779
R &B drummer who played for Jackson 5, Harry

00:15:46.779 --> 00:15:49.559
Styles, among others, has died. He died at his

00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:53.200
Los Angeles home Thursday at age 86. I think

00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:54.860
it was a week, maybe it was a week ago Thursday.

00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:58.320
I'm not sure. But that's him playing with Bill

00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:02.179
Withers on Lean On Me. Really? Okay. Gloria Gaynor's

00:16:02.179 --> 00:16:05.740
disco anthem, I Will Survive. Okay. Dancing Machine

00:16:05.740 --> 00:16:09.340
by the Jackson 5. Oh, wow. Okay. Love Hangover

00:16:09.340 --> 00:16:13.480
by Diana Ross. Okay. Harry Styles' second studio

00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:17.559
album, Fine Line. Over decades as a studio musician

00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:20.480
in Los Angeles, he worked with and has been sampled

00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:23.259
by, that's another big part, a who's who of the

00:16:23.259 --> 00:16:25.860
music world, Aretha Franklin. Paul McCartney,

00:16:25.980 --> 00:16:29.340
Kelly Clarkson, Leonard Cohen, Ray Charles, Nora

00:16:29.340 --> 00:16:33.159
Jones, B .B. King, Justin Timberlake, Beck, Anita

00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:35.659
Baker, Lana Del Rey, Florence and the Machine.

00:16:36.100 --> 00:16:38.659
He's worked with all of them. Wow. Or they've

00:16:38.659 --> 00:16:41.200
used samples of his previous work. Okay then.

00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:44.720
Wow. Yeah. Go ahead. So Gadsden became one of

00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:47.480
the most recorded drummers in R &B history. He

00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:49.740
taught himself how to play drums in Kansas City,

00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:52.799
the birthplace of a unique sound that other drummers

00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:55.809
yearn to learn and duplicate. He started as a

00:16:55.809 --> 00:16:58.509
jazz drummer, and KC jazz drummers definitely

00:16:58.509 --> 00:17:02.389
have their own kind of sound and style. Questlove,

00:17:02.629 --> 00:17:04.789
drummer for The Roots and musical director for

00:17:04.789 --> 00:17:07.029
The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, wrote a tribute

00:17:07.029 --> 00:17:09.210
on Instagram that included a clip of Gadsden

00:17:09.210 --> 00:17:13.630
playing. Some drummers are soulful, some drummers

00:17:13.630 --> 00:17:16.309
are funky, some drummers are rockin', some drummers

00:17:16.309 --> 00:17:18.769
are swinging, but no drummer has impacted the

00:17:18.769 --> 00:17:21.769
art of breakbeat drumming, which is dance beats,

00:17:21.970 --> 00:17:25.859
like James Gadsden. He wrote, James Gadsden is

00:17:25.859 --> 00:17:29.240
breakbeats defined. These are just a fraction

00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:31.559
of 60 years of quality drumming. Even in the

00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:33.940
last 20 years, he did some of the best work.

00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:36.420
The beat will truly go on and on. Rest in beats,

00:17:36.539 --> 00:17:39.619
legend. I tried to print out the list, but the

00:17:39.619 --> 00:17:42.480
whole list was one giant link. So I couldn't

00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:46.299
get the list. Gadsden was born in Kansas City

00:17:46.299 --> 00:17:50.279
on June 17, 1939 to Thomas Harold Gadsden and

00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:54.140
Arlethia Hobson Gadsden. When it became clear

00:17:54.140 --> 00:17:56.799
that Gadsden was more interested in music than

00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:00.019
studying, he dropped out of high school. Mom

00:18:00.019 --> 00:18:03.640
sent him off to the Air Force. Oh, okay. Now,

00:18:03.660 --> 00:18:05.680
by the time he got out of the Air Force, his

00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:08.000
brother Tootie had a popular band in Kansas City

00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:10.759
called the Derbies. Okay. When the band's drummer

00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:12.980
quit, Tootie told his brother to see what you

00:18:12.980 --> 00:18:15.279
could do on the drums. So Gadsden taught himself

00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:18.849
how to play. The band's agent, a local white

00:18:18.849 --> 00:18:21.049
lawyer named Alan Bell, booked the band into

00:18:21.049 --> 00:18:23.529
many diverse establishments across the country.

00:18:23.910 --> 00:18:26.950
Some were in the South and racist and unwelcome.

00:18:27.029 --> 00:18:30.369
Okay, so he's African American. Yes. Okay. They

00:18:30.369 --> 00:18:33.809
played on the Chitlin Circuit, which is a circuit

00:18:33.809 --> 00:18:37.569
down south of bars and nightclubs that were...

00:18:38.410 --> 00:18:40.990
welcoming and friendly to people of color as

00:18:40.990 --> 00:18:43.109
entertainers. I don't know if you can even name

00:18:43.109 --> 00:18:45.470
it that nowadays. No, no. But at the time, that

00:18:45.470 --> 00:18:47.309
was the Chitlin Circuit. The Chitlin Circuit.

00:18:47.509 --> 00:18:52.109
Like, for a while in New York, there was a series

00:18:52.109 --> 00:18:56.430
of playhouses that was called the Borscht Belt

00:18:56.430 --> 00:19:02.430
because it was popularized and attended by mostly

00:19:02.430 --> 00:19:04.839
Russian immigrants. Oh, okay. So it was called

00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:06.480
the Borscht Belt. Go play to all the Russians.

00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:10.980
And no one cared. No, no. But the Chitlin' Circuit

00:19:10.980 --> 00:19:12.880
allowed black entertainers during segregation

00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:17.200
to play mostly safe and friendly venues. In Kansas

00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:19.759
City, the derbies regularly played at OG's, a

00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:22.240
popular Kansas City jazz club at 31st and Indiana,

00:19:22.579 --> 00:19:25.339
owned by Ollie Gates before he became a barbecue

00:19:25.339 --> 00:19:29.880
king. Oh, wow. Yeah, that Gates. Probably the

00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:33.450
first, not the second. Yeah, yeah. Let's see,

00:19:33.529 --> 00:19:37.650
where am I? Gadsden began rubbing shoulders with

00:19:37.650 --> 00:19:40.269
famous musicians here, backing up singers who

00:19:40.269 --> 00:19:42.690
came to Kansas City on tour, like Otis Redding

00:19:42.690 --> 00:19:46.849
and Sam Cooke. He said he almost starved to death

00:19:46.849 --> 00:19:49.410
before he became the drummer for the widely sampled

00:19:49.410 --> 00:19:52.609
Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band, led by singer

00:19:52.609 --> 00:19:56.130
and guitarist Charles Wright. When he met Hal

00:19:56.130 --> 00:19:58.910
Davis, the legendary Motown producer, he hired

00:19:58.910 --> 00:20:01.680
him. to sit in on the recording session for Dancing

00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:04.900
Machine by the Jackson 5. Quote, I remember the

00:20:04.900 --> 00:20:07.440
first Motown session I did, which was the Jackson's

00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:09.279
Dancing Machine. We were out there creating,

00:20:09.500 --> 00:20:12.039
and I put that eighth note hop in, and they said,

00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:14.960
hey, do that again. He began making a name for

00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:17.920
himself after working on Bill Withers' 1972 album,

00:20:18.019 --> 00:20:21.420
Still Bill, drumming on Use Me and Lean On Me.

00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:27.259
I like the song Use Me. That's a fun little beat.

00:20:28.500 --> 00:20:31.660
But he said that sound became a template for

00:20:31.660 --> 00:20:34.440
R &B and soul sounds that followed. So he basically

00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:37.640
created it and everybody else copied him. Quote,

00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:39.839
Gat was a very talented drummer, but equally

00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:43.700
gifted as a vocalist, his sister said. Many don't

00:20:43.700 --> 00:20:45.980
know that he co -wrote and contributed to many

00:20:45.980 --> 00:20:49.019
of Bill Withers' greatest hits. How about that?

00:20:49.259 --> 00:20:51.960
Yeah. The hits he contributed to in the disco

00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:55.039
era alone are solid gold. Cheryl Lynn's Got to

00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:58.880
Be Real, Smokey Robinson's Cruisin', Tavara's

00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:02.319
Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel, Peaches and

00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:05.119
Herb's Shake Your Groove Thing, and Reunited.

00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:08.920
Thelma Houston's Don't Leave Me This Way. Because

00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:11.559
he didn't share much about his work, his sister

00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:14.059
is just now finding out that, quote, he was often

00:21:14.059 --> 00:21:17.319
not given the credit for much of his work. Sometimes

00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:20.339
it was racism, sometimes it was greed or jealousy.

00:21:20.859 --> 00:21:23.119
She hopes that someone in Kansas City will step

00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:26.099
up and find a way to honor how he shaped America's

00:21:26.099 --> 00:21:28.299
musical landscape with talents born and raised

00:21:28.299 --> 00:21:32.519
here. Flea, the bassist and a founder of the

00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:34.980
Red Hot Chili Peppers wrote... Hey there, slap

00:21:34.980 --> 00:21:40.819
nuts. It's time for the Creeps Music News. Hey,

00:21:40.900 --> 00:21:43.460
my little pumpkin seeds. This is Johnny Rohypnol

00:21:43.460 --> 00:21:47.130
with your music news. Remember the 70s rock band

00:21:47.130 --> 00:21:52.289
Angel? Yep, those guys. All dressed in white

00:21:52.289 --> 00:21:56.529
with the logo that read Angel, Upside or Down.

00:21:57.049 --> 00:22:02.109
Yes, those guys. Well, they have a final album

00:22:02.109 --> 00:22:05.910
in the works with a final tour. No date set yet,

00:22:05.990 --> 00:22:09.769
but the album is coming out this summer. This

00:22:09.769 --> 00:22:12.910
is Johnny Rohypnol. That was your Music News,

00:22:13.029 --> 00:22:18.690
and remember... Bar chords are bullshit. Quote

00:22:18.690 --> 00:22:20.710
on Instagram that he was lucky enough, quote,

00:22:20.750 --> 00:22:22.849
to have played with him on many occasions and

00:22:22.849 --> 00:22:25.430
to have been his friend. I could see Flee playing

00:22:25.430 --> 00:22:27.789
with a guy that plays like that too because of

00:22:27.789 --> 00:22:32.430
his funky... Oh, yeah. Yeah. The bass popping.

00:22:32.549 --> 00:22:34.630
The green cold banana peppers are definitely

00:22:34.630 --> 00:22:39.109
a funk band. Yeah, yeah. They were. Yes. Now

00:22:39.109 --> 00:22:41.910
I don't know what the fuck that is. There's something.

00:22:42.170 --> 00:22:46.279
Yeah, there's something. His sister said she

00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:48.920
spoke to her brother every day, but he had not

00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:50.880
shared the health challenges that he faced in

00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:53.819
recent years. He was a 30 -year survivor of prostate

00:22:53.819 --> 00:22:57.099
cancer. Oh, wow. Kick ass. If the tests come

00:22:57.099 --> 00:22:59.940
back favorably Thursday, then I'll be a five

00:22:59.940 --> 00:23:03.000
-year survivor. Good, and that usually is the...

00:23:03.779 --> 00:23:07.059
The endorsement of, yeah, you're free of that.

00:23:07.220 --> 00:23:09.480
Yeah, they go by five -year survival rates. So

00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:11.740
if I survive five years, then that's pretty good.

00:23:11.900 --> 00:23:16.400
Oh, fuck cancer. Yeah, absolutely. He had just

00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:19.319
recently fallen and re -injured his spine, compounding

00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:21.400
damage from an accident years ago that she never

00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:24.660
knew about. He was still up and going, she said,

00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:26.839
until his wife Barbara found him unresponsive

00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:29.160
in their home on Thursday. And what was it, did

00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:32.829
they say? No. Like a stroke or heart attack?

00:23:32.829 --> 00:23:34.930
Stroke or heart attack or something. He was 86.

00:23:35.430 --> 00:23:37.250
Oh, okay. So he probably had an advanced case

00:23:37.250 --> 00:23:40.109
of natural causes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, if

00:23:40.109 --> 00:23:43.210
this is 40 years ago, I'd be like, oh, he died.

00:23:43.430 --> 00:23:46.410
Yeah. Okay, all right, thanks. But on the final

00:23:46.410 --> 00:23:48.789
note, it said, Once reminded by a fan of the

00:23:48.789 --> 00:23:50.750
great recordings that will forever bear his stamp,

00:23:50.910 --> 00:23:53.130
the ever -humble Gadsden replied, Thank you.

00:23:53.210 --> 00:23:55.450
I've been truly blessed. I was in the right place

00:23:55.450 --> 00:23:58.880
at the right time. A lot of times. Well, I love

00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:00.420
that because that's what Buck O 'Neill said.

00:24:00.579 --> 00:24:02.359
Yeah. We're going, well, you know, you had so

00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:05.119
much adversity. You wish you were, you know,

00:24:05.140 --> 00:24:08.099
maybe in a different era. He goes, no. He goes,

00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:10.099
I was where I was supposed to be. Yep. I was

00:24:10.099 --> 00:24:12.599
born right on time. Yep. And he always stated

00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:14.119
that, too. He said, no, this is the way it's

00:24:14.119 --> 00:24:15.619
supposed to be, and that's the way it happened.

00:24:15.779 --> 00:24:18.319
Yeah. Yeah, I like that attitude, and he had

00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:20.279
the same thing. He's like, nah, you know what?

00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:22.079
Things may not have been perfect, and there could

00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:24.099
have been, you know, a lot of adversity and people

00:24:24.099 --> 00:24:27.359
doing stupid things, but. it was good. We all,

00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:29.519
you know, I'm very happy to be where I was at.

00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:32.980
So being grateful is the best thing that you

00:24:32.980 --> 00:24:36.000
can do ever is being grateful for what you have.

00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:39.099
And also another thing that people don't give

00:24:39.099 --> 00:24:42.220
enough credit to is being grateful for what you

00:24:42.220 --> 00:24:47.460
don't forget about that. All right. So I would

00:24:47.460 --> 00:24:49.259
venture only one more comment. I would venture

00:24:49.259 --> 00:24:52.000
to say that James Gadsden is probably the most

00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:54.180
successful drummer to camp come out of Kansas

00:24:54.180 --> 00:24:56.609
city. that I can think of or have ever heard

00:24:56.609 --> 00:25:00.630
of. As far as I know, yes. Some people try to

00:25:00.630 --> 00:25:03.170
count Danny Carey of Tool, but he's from Topeka.

00:25:03.309 --> 00:25:05.710
He's from Topeka, yeah. Yeah, and the guy from

00:25:05.710 --> 00:25:07.990
Banshee, what is it, Westoff or whatever? Yeah.

00:25:08.390 --> 00:25:12.650
No, he never was at ground. Who's the guy from

00:25:12.650 --> 00:25:15.950
the Rainmakers? Who cares? Pat Tomek. Yeah, Pat

00:25:15.950 --> 00:25:18.549
Tomek. I don't really know if he was from Kansas

00:25:18.549 --> 00:25:20.289
City or not. I don't think he was. He's played

00:25:20.289 --> 00:25:22.710
on a lot of stuff, too. He's played for Kelly

00:25:22.710 --> 00:25:26.710
Clarkson, too. Yeah, I like him. They had different

00:25:26.710 --> 00:25:28.349
music. I've got to give you credit. They were

00:25:28.349 --> 00:25:32.410
very unique at that time, especially. All right.

00:25:33.230 --> 00:25:35.910
Here are some famous bands that endured a name

00:25:35.910 --> 00:25:37.609
change that people don't even know. A lot of

00:25:37.609 --> 00:25:40.250
people don't know. Oh, cool. All right. The Beatles

00:25:40.250 --> 00:25:41.869
and the name change. The Beatles were initially

00:25:41.869 --> 00:25:44.730
called the Quarrymen. Oh, I think I've heard

00:25:44.730 --> 00:25:47.609
of that name. Before changing their name, they

00:25:47.609 --> 00:25:49.849
even briefly performed under the name Johnny

00:25:49.849 --> 00:25:54.099
and the Moondogs. I'll bet Paul hated that. I

00:25:54.099 --> 00:25:56.440
actually knew about Johnny and the Moondogs.

00:25:56.440 --> 00:25:58.880
I knew that name was there. But I didn't know

00:25:58.880 --> 00:26:01.680
about the Quarrymen. But I did hear that name

00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:05.720
before. Yeah. But I had no idea. It's okay. The

00:26:05.720 --> 00:26:07.839
bridge is not collapsing. Oh, was that the bridge

00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:10.900
doing it? No, I think that's... Oh, yeah, look,

00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:12.799
see the machinery over there is working. Oh,

00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:14.559
yeah, that's right. All those big gears and things.

00:26:14.599 --> 00:26:17.160
Cool. When the bridge might start to move, we'll

00:26:17.160 --> 00:26:19.799
let you know. Is this a drawbridge? Oh, no. I

00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:21.940
wouldn't think it would be a drawbridge. You

00:26:21.940 --> 00:26:24.940
know, Kansas River, a lot of cruise ships come

00:26:24.940 --> 00:26:26.799
by here. Oh, that's true. Yeah, a lot of tall

00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:29.339
sailing ships. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, they have that

00:26:29.339 --> 00:26:32.519
one mega ship, the USS Shithole or something

00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:38.759
like that. Yeah, yeah. Okay. All right. Oh, gosh.

00:26:39.200 --> 00:26:44.480
Okay, let's see. Where were we? I don't know.

00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:48.740
I'm just going to go from here. Okay. And actually,

00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:51.819
this is Rock Band Oddities. It's not name changes.

00:26:51.940 --> 00:26:55.980
I'd forgotten. The article I was looking at started

00:26:55.980 --> 00:26:58.059
going into this, and I decided to just go ahead

00:26:58.059 --> 00:26:59.960
and go with that. Kiss and their convention.

00:27:00.579 --> 00:27:02.960
The band Kiss holds a record for the most merchandise

00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:06.019
sold by a band. Wow. Including everything from

00:27:06.019 --> 00:27:09.309
action figures to coffins. I do remember Kiss

00:27:09.309 --> 00:27:12.289
Coffins. I do, too. Hey, NASCAR made coffins.

00:27:12.289 --> 00:27:18.450
Well, you know, guitarist for Pantera. Diamond

00:27:18.450 --> 00:27:21.849
Bag Darryl. Diamond Bag Darryl. He was buried

00:27:21.849 --> 00:27:24.390
in a Kiss coffin. He was a huge fan, and Kiss

00:27:24.390 --> 00:27:26.809
said, here, have a coffin. Yep, and he was buried

00:27:26.809 --> 00:27:29.910
with Eddie Van Halen's Frankenstrat. Frankenstrat,

00:27:30.009 --> 00:27:31.789
yep. One of them, anyway. One of them, yeah.

00:27:32.899 --> 00:27:34.799
Wolfie's got the other one. Yeah, Wolfie has

00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:36.980
the other one, but that was very nice that both

00:27:36.980 --> 00:27:40.599
of those, the guy, you know, Eddie Van Halen,

00:27:40.599 --> 00:27:45.619
and also Kiss doing a tribute to him because

00:27:45.619 --> 00:27:48.039
he was huge fans of both, and he made no bones

00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:50.480
about it, and he was a really good guitarist

00:27:50.480 --> 00:27:53.779
in his own right. Yeah. All right, Led Zeppelin's

00:27:53.779 --> 00:27:56.839
Airplane. Led Zeppelin's private jet was named

00:27:56.839 --> 00:28:00.339
the Starship. It was featured a dining room,

00:28:00.380 --> 00:28:02.299
a bedroom, and even a bar, making it one of the

00:28:02.299 --> 00:28:05.259
most lavish tour planes at the time. Wow. Now

00:28:05.259 --> 00:28:07.599
they all have that, if they're big enough and

00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:10.559
can afford it. But at that time, that didn't

00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:12.859
happen. And a lot of bands have realized that

00:28:12.859 --> 00:28:15.579
touring by bus is actually the more economical

00:28:15.579 --> 00:28:20.039
way to go. A lot of bands do that now. But when

00:28:20.039 --> 00:28:22.299
you've got more money than you know what to do

00:28:22.299 --> 00:28:25.359
with, like Taylor Swift, you can take airplanes

00:28:25.359 --> 00:28:27.880
everywhere. Well, before when they did the advances

00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:31.480
and the concert was actually funded by somebody

00:28:31.480 --> 00:28:34.799
and not on a preliminary, here are the tickets

00:28:34.799 --> 00:28:36.700
sold, here's the money we have to start the tour.

00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:41.140
That's when they got all these perks. And they

00:28:41.140 --> 00:28:44.180
used to famously go, no, we're not going to do

00:28:44.180 --> 00:28:46.279
this unless we get this, this, and this. And

00:28:46.279 --> 00:28:48.380
then if Live Nation or whoever was responsible

00:28:48.380 --> 00:28:50.660
back then, they would do it. They'd be like,

00:28:50.700 --> 00:28:52.920
we really need this show. So they would do it.

00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:54.759
And, you know, it used to be that rock bands

00:28:54.759 --> 00:28:56.940
would save their money so they could finance

00:28:56.940 --> 00:28:59.380
their next tour. And then they get to keep all

00:28:59.380 --> 00:29:01.319
the money because they finance the tour. But

00:29:01.319 --> 00:29:03.740
they don't do that anymore. No, no. All of that

00:29:03.740 --> 00:29:06.200
they've done is completely different now. Yeah.

00:29:06.380 --> 00:29:10.680
So now it's like loans from us. Yes. Zero interest

00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:13.460
loans from the ticket buyers. Yep. And you'll

00:29:13.460 --> 00:29:16.240
never get that money back. Yep. How about a...

00:29:16.559 --> 00:29:20.160
Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. The song Bohemian

00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:23.440
Rhapsody was almost never completed as Freddie

00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:25.799
Mercury originally wrote it as an opera parody.

00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:30.960
He had no intentions of releasing it. That's

00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:34.980
funny. It's like Van Halen's song Ain't Talkin'

00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:38.079
About Love from their first album was a diss

00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:41.559
song meant to make fun of punk rock. for being

00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:43.220
so simple because ain't talking about love is

00:29:43.220 --> 00:29:45.960
two chords g and a that's it surprised me to

00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:50.759
no end yeah i know i i just uh yeah but i read

00:29:50.759 --> 00:29:53.819
that i was like okay i think i get it now but

00:29:53.819 --> 00:29:55.839
i was like wow no one would it would you have

00:29:55.839 --> 00:29:57.680
ever guessed that no but that was straight from

00:29:57.680 --> 00:30:00.079
michael anthony's mouth on an interview oh i

00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:02.359
believe it and no one contested it either no

00:30:02.359 --> 00:30:04.420
you didn't have wolfgang or somebody going no

00:30:04.420 --> 00:30:07.140
i don't think that's true everyone was like okay

00:30:07.140 --> 00:30:13.740
yep How about Metallica's naive disguise? When

00:30:13.740 --> 00:30:16.059
Metallica was trying to secure a record deal,

00:30:16.180 --> 00:30:19.700
they sent a demo tape to labels under the alias

00:30:19.700 --> 00:30:22.980
calling themselves the Lizard King to avoid rejection

00:30:22.980 --> 00:30:26.880
because they had that thrash metal stigma. I've

00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:28.720
heard of bands booking themselves into clubs

00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:31.119
under a fake name and then showing up and being

00:30:31.119 --> 00:30:33.859
who they are. Oh, that's happened a lot. I love

00:30:33.859 --> 00:30:36.900
it, too. You get the people go, yeah, I was just

00:30:36.900 --> 00:30:39.559
there, and all of a sudden, you know, that one

00:30:39.559 --> 00:30:43.579
band called the Pencil Sticks, it ended up being

00:30:43.579 --> 00:30:47.700
somebody cool. It turned out to be the Fudge

00:30:47.700 --> 00:30:49.680
Pickles, after all. Oh, yeah, I love the Fudge

00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:53.180
Pickles. Who doesn't? Oh, God, Fudge Pickle,

00:30:53.220 --> 00:30:57.539
that could be nasty. Yeah, it could be. It's

00:30:57.539 --> 00:30:59.220
like the town of Uranus where they said they'll

00:30:59.220 --> 00:31:03.779
pack your fudge for you. Yes. As a matter of

00:31:03.779 --> 00:31:07.140
fact, that's in one of the intros. Uh -huh, I

00:31:07.140 --> 00:31:08.940
heard that. They're actually, I remember seeing

00:31:08.940 --> 00:31:11.599
a little bit about Uranus. It's unincorporated.

00:31:11.599 --> 00:31:14.579
It's more like a glorified rest stop. Yeah. But

00:31:14.579 --> 00:31:18.420
they have, like, life -size dinosaurs, and there's,

00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:22.000
like, puns everywhere. Yeah, like the fudge factory.

00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:25.859
Uranus' fudge factory. Yep. Yeah. It's pretty

00:31:25.859 --> 00:31:28.960
awesome. It is. And then you can also get things

00:31:28.960 --> 00:31:32.200
at, say, Uranus Fudge Factory. Yep. Besides,

00:31:32.299 --> 00:31:34.160
like, the sack that they give you when you buy

00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:39.519
something. So. All right. ACDC's name meaning.

00:31:39.819 --> 00:31:42.140
The name, I think we all know this, but here

00:31:42.140 --> 00:31:45.240
we go. The name ACDC refers to alternate current,

00:31:45.380 --> 00:31:47.779
direct current, which was inspired by a sewing

00:31:47.779 --> 00:31:50.559
machine belonging to the sister of the band member,

00:31:50.660 --> 00:31:54.400
Angus Young. That conflicts with a story I heard.

00:31:55.339 --> 00:31:58.599
Back when ACDC still had Bon Scott and were just

00:31:58.599 --> 00:32:00.759
starting to get popular? Yeah, the first guy

00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:03.599
was Ambiguous and they were playing off of that.

00:32:03.799 --> 00:32:08.380
Yeah. And then Bon Scott supposedly ramped up

00:32:08.380 --> 00:32:15.680
his ambiguity, ambiguity, you know, to allure,

00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:17.759
you know, kind of people go, what? Okay, what

00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:20.920
is this band? Ah. Back then that stuff was still

00:32:20.920 --> 00:32:23.200
like, what? You know, people turning their heads.

00:32:23.740 --> 00:32:27.480
Well, up until 71, Alice Cooper was playing with

00:32:27.480 --> 00:32:30.460
sexual ambiguity. Yeah. Because, you know, he

00:32:30.460 --> 00:32:32.859
had a woman's name, and he'd get on stage and

00:32:32.859 --> 00:32:35.119
be wearing women's clothes and makeup and stuff.

00:32:35.180 --> 00:32:38.000
He was like, either that's a guy in drag or a

00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:41.710
really ugly woman. A lot of bands have done it,

00:32:41.730 --> 00:32:43.789
too. It's not like Alice was the first and not

00:32:43.789 --> 00:32:47.509
the last. A lot of bands have done it. But I

00:32:47.509 --> 00:32:49.990
can understand ACDC wanting to get away from

00:32:49.990 --> 00:32:53.230
the bisexuality innuendo. It's like, nah, let's

00:32:53.230 --> 00:32:55.630
just be straight -ahead rockers. I think the

00:32:55.630 --> 00:33:00.429
ambiguous... I think, okay, that did... After

00:33:00.429 --> 00:33:03.329
their first lead singer, I forgot his name. I

00:33:03.329 --> 00:33:04.829
don't remember either. I think after they got

00:33:04.829 --> 00:33:07.609
to looking at it and going, okay, ACDC, this

00:33:07.609 --> 00:33:10.069
kind of fits in. Look at this guy. You know,

00:33:10.069 --> 00:33:11.890
he's up there kind of, you know, being ambiguous.

00:33:12.430 --> 00:33:15.609
And I think that it, I think it went from there.

00:33:15.829 --> 00:33:18.650
Yeah. So they're kind of like both right, really.

00:33:19.109 --> 00:33:22.609
Is Faith No More on your list? No, actually it's

00:33:22.609 --> 00:33:24.450
not, but go ahead. Because that was another one

00:33:24.450 --> 00:33:27.369
where they said the name Faith No More came from,

00:33:27.430 --> 00:33:30.309
originally they had a singer whose name was Dave,

00:33:30.390 --> 00:33:32.410
and they didn't like him. And when they got rid

00:33:32.410 --> 00:33:34.170
of him, they started jokingly referring to the

00:33:34.170 --> 00:33:37.869
band as Dave No More. And Dave and Faith sound

00:33:37.869 --> 00:33:39.529
pretty similar, so they thought, well, we'll

00:33:39.529 --> 00:33:41.009
just change it to Faith No More, which sounds

00:33:41.009 --> 00:33:43.579
pretty cool. That is pretty cool. Who knows if

00:33:43.579 --> 00:33:45.779
that's true, but that's a nice story. Well, and

00:33:45.779 --> 00:33:47.980
I mean, I don't know if the sewing machine's

00:33:47.980 --> 00:33:50.279
true either, but I read that on a couple of places.

00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:52.539
I've seen that in a number of places, too. Yeah,

00:33:52.539 --> 00:33:55.539
so, oh, well. All right, Nirvana, Smells Like

00:33:55.539 --> 00:33:58.140
Teen Spirit. Now, this one got me. Yeah. I had

00:33:58.140 --> 00:34:00.900
no idea. The famous song was named after a brand

00:34:00.900 --> 00:34:03.079
of deodorant, which we all know. Yeah. Which

00:34:03.079 --> 00:34:05.279
Kurt Cobain never even knew about until after

00:34:05.279 --> 00:34:08.480
the song became popular. Weird. So I don't even

00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:09.980
think he named the song. Could have been like

00:34:09.980 --> 00:34:12.139
Novoselic or Grohl or somebody named it. Yeah,

00:34:12.139 --> 00:34:14.320
because he never sings that in the song. No.

00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:19.239
Yeah. And Cobain. He had the habit of, he'd take

00:34:19.239 --> 00:34:21.659
notebooks with him all the time. And he'd come

00:34:21.659 --> 00:34:23.880
up with like one to three lines of something

00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:26.519
and he'd just write it down. He was, yeah. And

00:34:26.519 --> 00:34:28.860
then when it was time to put lyrics to a song,

00:34:28.900 --> 00:34:30.500
he'd just go through and pick out all the best

00:34:30.500 --> 00:34:32.440
parts from his notebook so I can use this for

00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:34.440
the first chorus. Okay, that was good for the

00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:36.460
second verse. I actually love the way he song

00:34:36.460 --> 00:34:39.559
wrote. Yeah. Especially the lyrics. He already

00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:42.480
had them down and then he'd hear a melody or

00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:44.360
play a melody and go, you know what, this sounds

00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:46.639
like this. That was a brilliant way of writing.

00:34:47.150 --> 00:34:51.590
And ironically, their second album, Nevermind,

00:34:51.710 --> 00:34:55.510
a number of the songs wound up having references

00:34:55.510 --> 00:34:58.329
to guns. And that was not really intentional.

00:34:58.489 --> 00:35:00.289
Someone mentioned afterwards, like, wow, you

00:35:00.289 --> 00:35:02.050
talk about guns a lot on this album. And he's

00:35:02.050 --> 00:35:04.329
like, I do? He listened back to it and was like,

00:35:04.389 --> 00:35:06.969
oh, hell yeah, I do. It was on his mind a lot.

00:35:07.429 --> 00:35:10.230
So, yeah, In Utero was their third and final

00:35:10.230 --> 00:35:13.230
album. Because Kurt Cobain took his life during

00:35:13.230 --> 00:35:15.030
that tour, wasn't it? Or was it right after?

00:35:15.030 --> 00:35:17.190
It was after. Right after the tour. Allegedly.

00:35:17.670 --> 00:35:20.409
Allegedly, yeah. But yeah, you listen to In Utero.

00:35:20.409 --> 00:35:22.750
There is a lot of, yeah. But the album In Utero,

00:35:22.769 --> 00:35:25.030
you can hear that the band is really just...

00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:27.659
lost its way and they they don't have any cohesive

00:35:27.659 --> 00:35:30.579
ideas they're just fulfilling the recording contract

00:35:30.579 --> 00:35:33.340
in utero had no direction at all no it was a

00:35:33.340 --> 00:35:37.260
bunch of noise and sound put together yeah um

00:35:37.260 --> 00:35:40.019
they uh kirk cobain got into a fight with the

00:35:40.019 --> 00:35:42.400
record company geffen yeah he wanted to call

00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:45.400
the name and you can look this up i hate myself

00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:49.579
i just want a guy yeah and geffen was like uh

00:35:50.139 --> 00:35:51.659
We're not putting that on our record. No, we

00:35:51.659 --> 00:35:54.579
can't sell that. And he almost, Kurt Cobain almost

00:35:54.579 --> 00:35:56.440
stopped the record and said, no, we're not doing

00:35:56.440 --> 00:35:59.219
it. But the rest of the band had their way, if

00:35:59.219 --> 00:36:02.460
what I read is correct. Yeah. But, you know,

00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:04.539
that's why whenever people say he didn't kill

00:36:04.539 --> 00:36:06.920
himself, there's a lot of evidence that would

00:36:06.920 --> 00:36:09.300
suggest that he's very unhappy living, too. So,

00:36:09.300 --> 00:36:11.260
you know, I don't know, you know. It's hard to

00:36:11.260 --> 00:36:13.460
say. You come up with an album, I Hate Myself,

00:36:13.480 --> 00:36:16.119
I Just Want to Die. I'm going to say that you're

00:36:16.119 --> 00:36:19.280
suicidal, but that's just me. So, all right.

00:36:19.929 --> 00:36:22.750
The Rolling Stones iconic logo, the famous tongue

00:36:22.750 --> 00:36:25.969
logo of the Rolling Stones, was designed by John

00:36:25.969 --> 00:36:29.389
Pash, or Pashy, or whatever you want, one of

00:36:29.389 --> 00:36:33.050
those two, in 1970, and was influenced by Hindu

00:36:33.050 --> 00:36:36.730
goddess Kali, who has a similar tongue, and I

00:36:36.730 --> 00:36:39.329
actually knew that, or Kali, either one. Yeah,

00:36:39.389 --> 00:36:41.269
yeah, I've seen a side -by -side picture, and

00:36:41.269 --> 00:36:43.349
you can tell that's where he got the mouth logo.

00:36:43.610 --> 00:36:47.809
At least they admitted it. Yeah. So, yep. All

00:36:47.809 --> 00:36:50.289
right, the Who's destruction. The Who are infamous

00:36:50.289 --> 00:36:53.489
for their stage antics, including smashing guitars,

00:36:53.750 --> 00:36:56.530
and have a record for destroying the more instruments

00:36:56.530 --> 00:37:01.690
than any other band. Yeah. Yep. And Guns N' Roses

00:37:01.690 --> 00:37:03.550
first name. I didn't know this because I knew

00:37:03.550 --> 00:37:06.010
about Hollywood Rose, but I didn't know about

00:37:06.010 --> 00:37:09.170
this. Hollywood Rose, I guess, was their second

00:37:09.170 --> 00:37:13.199
name. Huh. Guns N' Roses first name. before settling

00:37:13.199 --> 00:37:15.900
on Guns N' Roses because the guns came from Tracy

00:37:15.900 --> 00:37:18.559
Guns, who left the band, and then they kept it.

00:37:18.840 --> 00:37:21.119
Guns N' Roses, the band was originally called

00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:25.480
Axl Rose, Axl's Rose, after the frontman's Axl

00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:28.480
Rose's childhood nickname, and his real name

00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:32.099
is William Bailey. Yep. Won't you come home,

00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:34.800
Bill Bailey? Won't you come home? I'm sure he

00:37:34.800 --> 00:37:37.619
loves that. Oh, I'm sure he just enjoys having

00:37:37.619 --> 00:37:39.719
people sing that to him left and right. Big fan,

00:37:39.880 --> 00:37:44.559
big fan, yes. All right, you got something? Yeah.

00:37:44.920 --> 00:37:47.239
Recently there was a summer festival in London,

00:37:47.340 --> 00:37:51.380
which is weird because it's not summer yet. But

00:37:51.380 --> 00:37:53.320
apparently this festival has already happened.

00:37:53.360 --> 00:37:55.500
I got the story before it happened, but apparently

00:37:55.500 --> 00:37:59.159
it has already gone unhappened. But it's Kanye

00:37:59.159 --> 00:38:03.139
West was going to be his headliner. Apparently

00:38:03.139 --> 00:38:06.449
he goes by the name Yee. Now, Y -E. Oh, yeah.

00:38:06.530 --> 00:38:07.949
But I'm going to call him Kanye because that's

00:38:07.949 --> 00:38:10.789
easier. Yeah. But pressure was mounting on Kanye

00:38:10.789 --> 00:38:15.409
to be pulled from his headlining role. Pressure

00:38:15.409 --> 00:38:17.570
was mounting Sunday on American rapper Kanye

00:38:17.570 --> 00:38:19.929
to be pulled from his headline role at a London,

00:38:20.030 --> 00:38:24.010
UK music festival this summer after criticism

00:38:24.010 --> 00:38:27.469
from UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Uh -huh.

00:38:30.619 --> 00:38:33.079
Pepsi has already withdrawn its lead sponsorship

00:38:33.079 --> 00:38:35.840
role of the Wireless Festival at Finsbury Park

00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:39.400
in North London between July 10th and 12th. Other

00:38:39.400 --> 00:38:41.460
sponsors of the event, including Budweiser and

00:38:41.460 --> 00:38:44.579
PayPal, are being urged to follow suit. Okay,

00:38:44.659 --> 00:38:46.760
I guess the festival hasn't happened yet, but

00:38:46.760 --> 00:38:49.360
there was a recent concert where Kanye performed

00:38:49.360 --> 00:38:53.039
and someone else went and saw him. Pepsi did

00:38:53.039 --> 00:38:55.199
not provide an explicit reason for its decision

00:38:55.199 --> 00:38:57.099
to pull out of the event, even though publicity

00:38:57.099 --> 00:38:59.280
for the festival promoted the event under the

00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:02.880
branding Pepsi Presents Wireless. Quote, Pepsi

00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:05.280
has decided to withdraw its sponsorship of the

00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:08.159
wireless festival. And that was all they said

00:39:08.159 --> 00:39:11.980
about it. Kanye was booked to perform in front

00:39:11.980 --> 00:39:15.579
of around 150 ,000 revelers over the course of

00:39:15.579 --> 00:39:20.079
the festival's three nights. Has already drawn

00:39:20.079 --> 00:39:22.219
widespread controversy in recent years for a

00:39:22.219 --> 00:39:25.400
series of anti -Semitic remarks. And has voiced

00:39:25.400 --> 00:39:29.320
admiration for Adolf Hitler. Last year he released

00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:33.219
a song called Heil Hitler. A few months after

00:39:33.219 --> 00:39:36.159
he advertising a swastika t -shirt for sale on

00:39:36.159 --> 00:39:43.329
his website. The 48 -year -old musician apologized

00:39:43.329 --> 00:39:46.230
in January for his anti -Semitic remarks in a

00:39:46.230 --> 00:39:48.429
letter published as a full -page advert on the

00:39:48.429 --> 00:39:51.130
Wall Street Journal. He said his bipolar disorder

00:39:51.130 --> 00:39:53.829
led him to fall into a four -month -long manic

00:39:53.829 --> 00:39:56.289
episode of psychotic, paranoid, and impulsive

00:39:56.289 --> 00:40:00.389
behavior that destroyed my life. Fans had just

00:40:00.389 --> 00:40:02.849
sold out Concert Friday at SoFi Stadium. I guess

00:40:02.849 --> 00:40:05.150
that's the one where someone saw him. His first

00:40:05.150 --> 00:40:07.989
major US performance in nearly five years appeared

00:40:07.989 --> 00:40:10.230
to separate his personal beliefs and public statements

00:40:10.230 --> 00:40:12.309
from his music and were ready to forgive him.

00:40:12.889 --> 00:40:15.170
However, Starmer said it was deeply concerning

00:40:15.170 --> 00:40:17.050
that the rapper was booked to perform at the

00:40:17.050 --> 00:40:20.190
long -established festival. And in the UK right

00:40:20.190 --> 00:40:22.989
now, it's all about don't hurt people's feelings.

00:40:23.329 --> 00:40:27.489
Yeah, I know. There was a guy who went from the

00:40:27.489 --> 00:40:32.449
UK to America on vacation, posted pictures. on

00:40:32.449 --> 00:40:35.110
social media of himself firing a gun legally

00:40:35.110 --> 00:40:38.710
in the United States, and when he went home,

00:40:38.730 --> 00:40:42.309
he was arrested by the UK government. Wow. For

00:40:42.309 --> 00:40:44.570
firing a gun legally in another country, he's

00:40:44.570 --> 00:40:47.510
now under arrest. That's how things are in the

00:40:47.510 --> 00:40:50.690
UK right now. I wouldn't go. They're worse than

00:40:50.690 --> 00:40:52.349
I thought, and I thought they were bad. Yes,

00:40:52.349 --> 00:40:56.380
they are. They're awful. Quote... From Starmer,

00:40:56.460 --> 00:40:59.559
anti -Semitism in any form is abhorrent and must

00:40:59.559 --> 00:41:01.860
be confronted clearly and firmly wherever it

00:41:01.860 --> 00:41:04.599
appears, he said in remarks published by the

00:41:04.599 --> 00:41:07.639
Sun and Sunday newspaper. Everyone has a responsibility

00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:09.940
to ensure Britain is a place where Jewish people

00:41:09.940 --> 00:41:13.039
feel safe and secure. Kanye's scheduled appearance

00:41:13.039 --> 00:41:15.679
follows signs of growing anti -Semitism in the

00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:19.360
UK. Two men and a 17 -year -old boy were ordered

00:41:19.360 --> 00:41:21.820
to remain in custody on Saturday on charges of

00:41:21.820 --> 00:41:24.500
torching four ambulances run by a Jewish community

00:41:24.500 --> 00:41:27.960
service in northwest London. And last October,

00:41:28.099 --> 00:41:31.019
two men died in an attack on a Manchester synagogue.

00:41:31.900 --> 00:41:34.619
Phil Rosenberg, president of the Board of Deputies

00:41:34.619 --> 00:41:37.460
of British Jews, said it was, quote, absolutely

00:41:37.460 --> 00:41:40.599
the wrong decision to allow Kanye to play. And

00:41:40.599 --> 00:41:42.760
then Wireless Festival did not immediately comment.

00:41:43.960 --> 00:41:46.119
Yeah, what could they say? Yeah, no kidding.

00:41:46.619 --> 00:41:48.619
It's like, we want to make money off this guy,

00:41:48.760 --> 00:41:51.519
but damn it, he said stupid things. That guy's

00:41:51.519 --> 00:41:54.659
been toxic for a long time. Yeah. And anyone

00:41:54.659 --> 00:41:57.260
even entertaining and hiring him, I have questions

00:41:57.260 --> 00:42:00.300
about. And the reason is, look, I think everyone

00:42:00.300 --> 00:42:02.760
deserves to have a job. Yeah. You know, unless

00:42:02.760 --> 00:42:05.320
you're too terrible, you know. Yeah. But the

00:42:05.320 --> 00:42:08.059
thing is, you should be incarcerated and forgot

00:42:08.059 --> 00:42:11.659
about it. Yeah. But the thing is, is if someone

00:42:11.659 --> 00:42:15.559
is... pissing off that many people and making

00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:18.099
so many statements that are obviously horrible,

00:42:18.320 --> 00:42:21.599
why would you want your name attached to them?

00:42:21.659 --> 00:42:24.000
That's what I'm saying. Then you become them.

00:42:24.980 --> 00:42:30.320
Yeah, it gives tacit approval or acceptance.

00:42:31.059 --> 00:42:35.380
And even if it was a bipolar thing, well, he

00:42:35.380 --> 00:42:37.940
still did it and said it. He needs to take responsibility.

00:42:38.829 --> 00:42:41.610
If a person falls asleep in their car and it

00:42:41.610 --> 00:42:43.590
runs off the road and kills somebody, well, they

00:42:43.590 --> 00:42:45.110
didn't do it on purpose and they couldn't help

00:42:45.110 --> 00:42:47.769
it, but they still did it. So they should still

00:42:47.769 --> 00:42:50.170
get the blame for that. I think Kanye should

00:42:50.170 --> 00:42:51.909
still get the blame for what he did and said

00:42:51.909 --> 00:42:54.530
because he could have chosen to shut up. I agree.

00:42:54.650 --> 00:42:56.550
He could have chosen to stay home and not speak

00:42:56.550 --> 00:42:59.010
publicly. Yes, anything that he does like that

00:42:59.010 --> 00:43:01.789
is on him. Yeah. He knows. He knows better. And

00:43:01.789 --> 00:43:03.750
he's got enough people that he could hire somebody

00:43:03.750 --> 00:43:06.940
to watch his mouth for him. And say, Kanye, no,

00:43:07.059 --> 00:43:08.320
you can't say that. You see, that's the problem.

00:43:08.460 --> 00:43:11.400
He's too arrogant. He won't do that. It's like

00:43:11.400 --> 00:43:15.280
all these idiots like Tiger Woods who has way

00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:17.460
more money than he needs and could afford to

00:43:17.460 --> 00:43:19.860
have somebody drive him, yet he gets behind the

00:43:19.860 --> 00:43:22.099
wheel anyway when he's drunk off his ass. And

00:43:22.099 --> 00:43:24.699
then he tries to intimidate the cop by saying,

00:43:24.739 --> 00:43:26.280
yeah, I was just here to talk to the president.

00:43:27.289 --> 00:43:29.170
When the cop rolled up on him, that's what Tiger

00:43:29.170 --> 00:43:30.570
was, was on the phone. He said, yeah, I'm just

00:43:30.570 --> 00:43:31.849
sitting here talking to the president because

00:43:31.849 --> 00:43:34.949
he was hoping he would intimidate the cop. That

00:43:34.949 --> 00:43:36.469
was probably the worst thing he could have done.

00:43:36.469 --> 00:43:38.949
I know. Because if I was a cop, I'd be like,

00:43:39.030 --> 00:43:42.530
and your point is. Yep. I'd say like, yeah, I

00:43:42.530 --> 00:43:45.369
didn't vote for him. Even if you did. Even if

00:43:45.369 --> 00:43:48.449
you did. Yeah. I would have been like, okay,

00:43:48.530 --> 00:43:52.530
well, get him on the phone and let's see a pardon.

00:43:52.670 --> 00:43:54.210
You know, get him on the phone and say there's

00:43:54.210 --> 00:43:55.909
going to be a pardon. Anything short of that,

00:43:55.969 --> 00:43:59.079
shut up. Yep. And guess what? Presidential pardons

00:43:59.079 --> 00:44:01.179
don't work for state laws. No, they don't. Nope.

00:44:01.420 --> 00:44:03.559
That's what I was getting ready to get at. There's

00:44:03.559 --> 00:44:05.780
nothing you can do about it. Yep. Got to talk

00:44:05.780 --> 00:44:07.599
to the governor. I've got some bullet points.

00:44:07.800 --> 00:44:11.019
Yay! All right. The first one. Will there ever

00:44:11.019 --> 00:44:13.800
be a new delivery of music, or is on -demand

00:44:13.800 --> 00:44:17.920
streaming going to be the it? I think there will

00:44:17.920 --> 00:44:20.179
be something new. Yeah, I think so, too. I'm

00:44:20.179 --> 00:44:23.940
not sure how, what. But then again, before streaming,

00:44:24.019 --> 00:44:26.760
we never really saw that either. I mean, until

00:44:26.760 --> 00:44:29.519
you started seeing Netflix and stuff like that

00:44:29.519 --> 00:44:31.460
pop up, then you realize there's a whole other

00:44:31.460 --> 00:44:35.380
avenue in delivery. So we probably don't even

00:44:35.380 --> 00:44:38.820
see it yet, but they're working on it. Two things

00:44:38.820 --> 00:44:43.800
that I see as possibilities. One, with Elon Musk's

00:44:43.800 --> 00:44:46.980
brain chip that he's developed, will get installed

00:44:46.980 --> 00:44:49.199
in people and you can get music directly in your

00:44:49.199 --> 00:44:53.719
brain that way. Another would be to get people

00:44:53.719 --> 00:44:57.900
to buy and or subscribe to their own personal

00:44:57.900 --> 00:45:01.440
music -making AI that makes music just for them.

00:45:02.599 --> 00:45:04.699
So you don't have to have musicians anywhere,

00:45:04.900 --> 00:45:06.920
recording studios or anything. You've just got

00:45:06.920 --> 00:45:09.519
your little AI bot that you pay $20 a month,

00:45:09.659 --> 00:45:12.719
and it makes all sorts of music for you all the

00:45:12.719 --> 00:45:15.760
time. I think that's going to be a viable thing.

00:45:15.820 --> 00:45:18.639
I do too. Completely put musicians out of work.

00:45:20.889 --> 00:45:24.150
I think video entertainment is going to go the

00:45:24.150 --> 00:45:26.889
same way. Instead of having actors standing around

00:45:26.889 --> 00:45:30.090
in front of a camera and having to write lines

00:45:30.090 --> 00:45:32.489
for them and have to edit stuff, you just turn

00:45:32.489 --> 00:45:34.489
it all over to AI and they make your video entertainment

00:45:34.489 --> 00:45:38.110
for you and it's made specifically for you. All

00:45:38.110 --> 00:45:41.409
the things you want to see and hear, etc. I think

00:45:41.409 --> 00:45:45.260
it's going to be intensely personalized. Yeah,

00:45:45.260 --> 00:45:47.960
I think you're right. Yep. That would be one

00:45:47.960 --> 00:45:50.440
way they could go. And it wouldn't take that

00:45:50.440 --> 00:45:52.639
much of a stretch to do it either. I wish that

00:45:52.639 --> 00:45:54.420
damn wind would settle. Yeah, I'm kind of done

00:45:54.420 --> 00:45:57.400
with the wind. Although, if we had podcasted

00:45:57.400 --> 00:45:59.659
tomorrow, that was going to be hellaciously windy

00:45:59.659 --> 00:46:02.019
tomorrow too. Okay, good. Well, I'm glad I messed

00:46:02.019 --> 00:46:06.880
it up. Yeah. Will AI be big in making music?

00:46:06.940 --> 00:46:09.760
They already are. Yeah. And I don't see it changing.

00:46:09.960 --> 00:46:12.440
Yeah. I mean, look at the stuff I've done. Yeah.

00:46:13.079 --> 00:46:17.400
And the number one most popular music worldwide

00:46:17.400 --> 00:46:23.039
right now is from an AI. That's the most popular.

00:46:23.039 --> 00:46:25.420
It's bigger than Taylor Swift right now. I made

00:46:25.420 --> 00:46:28.960
that question before you told me at this point.

00:46:29.079 --> 00:46:30.940
And I was like, hmm, that's going to fit right

00:46:30.940 --> 00:46:35.119
in. Will fans settle for AI music? Of course,

00:46:35.159 --> 00:46:37.860
they don't care. Enough of them will settle that

00:46:37.860 --> 00:46:39.760
you and I are not going to have any choice. No,

00:46:39.780 --> 00:46:43.010
it's just going to be the way it is. Yeah. Okay,

00:46:43.090 --> 00:46:45.570
what do you think about rebooting old radio shows

00:46:45.570 --> 00:46:48.650
with AI, like Paul Harvey and such? Because they're

00:46:48.650 --> 00:46:50.889
already doing a certain amount of that. And if

00:46:50.889 --> 00:46:54.309
my understanding is correct, they're paying whoever's

00:46:54.309 --> 00:46:59.389
left to use a voice and to do different episodes,

00:46:59.630 --> 00:47:02.210
new. Like they could come out with new Rush Limbaugh

00:47:02.210 --> 00:47:05.570
with AI. And simply it'll do like it did us and

00:47:05.570 --> 00:47:07.889
get everything so remarkably close you don't

00:47:07.889 --> 00:47:10.900
know. I think there will be a lot of that. Like

00:47:10.900 --> 00:47:12.380
everything else, it's going to be hit and miss.

00:47:12.480 --> 00:47:14.579
They'll put up something that people just don't

00:47:14.579 --> 00:47:18.860
want at all. You know, 13 seasons of our show,

00:47:19.039 --> 00:47:22.559
usually about 50 episodes a season, if not more.

00:47:23.059 --> 00:47:27.099
And it picked out something we did in one episode

00:47:27.099 --> 00:47:30.219
in the first and second season and exploited

00:47:30.219 --> 00:47:33.760
it. So you tell me that it can't get a Paul Harvey

00:47:33.760 --> 00:47:35.780
or a Rush Limbaugh and do something like that.

00:47:35.860 --> 00:47:39.139
Yeah. Yeah, I think that's going to be a big

00:47:39.139 --> 00:47:42.309
part of it. I do too. Did all the great rock

00:47:42.309 --> 00:47:45.329
producers retire? Yeah. Pretty much. There's

00:47:45.329 --> 00:47:48.010
none left. If there was any left, we'd be seeing

00:47:48.010 --> 00:47:52.849
it. And so many producers now have zero experience

00:47:52.849 --> 00:47:56.250
working with actual instruments that make sound.

00:47:56.570 --> 00:48:01.670
It's all samples, digitized loops, this, that.

00:48:02.329 --> 00:48:04.949
They're not accustomed. They wouldn't even know

00:48:04.949 --> 00:48:10.139
how to mic up an actual band and record it. knowledge

00:48:10.139 --> 00:48:12.400
is just going away. Because no one does it anymore.

00:48:13.559 --> 00:48:17.880
It's a sad. No, it is. It really is. Who was

00:48:17.880 --> 00:48:21.699
the most complete rock singer ever? Look, voice,

00:48:21.760 --> 00:48:26.300
and moves. Wow. Could be Robert Plant. Could

00:48:26.300 --> 00:48:29.739
be Robert Plant, yeah. Looks like someone else.

00:48:30.179 --> 00:48:32.380
David Lee Roth has got to be mentioned somewhere

00:48:32.380 --> 00:48:36.059
in the conversation. He didn't have the range,

00:48:36.139 --> 00:48:38.619
but... For a while there, he was like. He had

00:48:38.619 --> 00:48:41.719
the yells, the screams, and the pizzazz. Oh,

00:48:41.719 --> 00:48:44.039
my gosh. The look and the charisma. Yeah. He

00:48:44.039 --> 00:48:46.880
was the one that the modern lead man based off

00:48:46.880 --> 00:48:49.239
of. Yeah. You know, and he was probably based

00:48:49.239 --> 00:48:52.719
off of Jim Dandy, obviously. Yeah. Freddie Mercury

00:48:52.719 --> 00:48:55.019
would probably fit in that category. Freddie

00:48:55.019 --> 00:48:56.559
Mercury would fit in that category. Looks, talent,

00:48:56.900 --> 00:49:01.619
music. Yeah. Yeah. Stage presence. Yep. You know,

00:49:01.619 --> 00:49:03.440
I heard a lot of people telling me that Leonard's

00:49:03.440 --> 00:49:06.090
game. Hello, this is Phineas J. Altaris III.

00:49:07.010 --> 00:49:09.570
I'm here to deliver your music news this evening.

00:49:13.949 --> 00:49:16.829
Another Aussie story alert. ELP, Deep Purple,

00:49:16.949 --> 00:49:19.510
and Sabbath were all playing at the 1974 California

00:49:19.510 --> 00:49:22.449
Jam. The bands had to be flown in by helicopter

00:49:22.449 --> 00:49:25.070
to the gig. Aussie said after the bands had been

00:49:25.070 --> 00:49:26.949
flown in, they were all standing behind the trailer.

00:49:27.110 --> 00:49:29.449
They look up, and there's a pinball machine hanging

00:49:29.449 --> 00:49:32.250
below a helicopter flying through the air. Turns

00:49:32.250 --> 00:49:34.670
out the members of ELP owned a pinball machine

00:49:34.670 --> 00:49:38.369
and demand it to be flown to the jams. Then other

00:49:38.369 --> 00:49:40.909
bands wanted their own pinball machine, and by

00:49:40.909 --> 00:49:43.349
the end of the gig, everybody had their own pinball

00:49:43.349 --> 00:49:46.389
machine to play before and after the show. This

00:49:46.389 --> 00:49:51.409
is Phineas J. Baltar S. III. That has been your

00:49:51.409 --> 00:49:54.550
music news for this evening. I have one burning

00:49:54.550 --> 00:49:57.909
question for you all. Do people really skip around

00:49:57.909 --> 00:50:25.619
the Maypole? It sounded like the opinion of a

00:50:25.619 --> 00:50:29.400
fanboy. Yeah, yeah, yep. You remind me of, uh...

00:50:30.190 --> 00:50:33.010
Hank Williams Jr. or something. Kind of had that

00:50:33.010 --> 00:50:36.210
kind of a southern fried look. Yeah. But anyhow.

00:50:36.510 --> 00:50:39.809
Okay, I would agree with you. Who was the most

00:50:39.809 --> 00:50:44.989
complete bassist ever? Ooh. Who was the guy off

00:50:44.989 --> 00:50:50.070
the cream? Jack Bruce. Jack Bruce? Yeah. He was

00:50:50.070 --> 00:50:55.309
pretty amazing. He was. Tony Franklin was really

00:50:55.309 --> 00:50:59.590
good, but he did rock music in the firm. But

00:50:59.590 --> 00:51:02.849
he was more of a blues guy. I was trying to think

00:51:02.849 --> 00:51:04.630
of the name of that Motown bass player. Is it

00:51:04.630 --> 00:51:08.409
Robert Jameson? Robert Jameson, yes. He played

00:51:08.409 --> 00:51:11.070
with, like, his index finger, and he called it

00:51:11.070 --> 00:51:14.750
the claw. Yeah, yes. Very good. And he's played

00:51:14.750 --> 00:51:18.469
on so many songs you've heard. And he also came

00:51:18.469 --> 00:51:20.429
up with the bass line on almost all of them.

00:51:20.550 --> 00:51:23.030
And there's, like, so many bassists that play

00:51:23.030 --> 00:51:27.849
the fretless bass. Well, Tony Franklin did that,

00:51:27.909 --> 00:51:29.969
but there's other ones, too. I mean, like locally,

00:51:30.190 --> 00:51:34.150
back the Rumble Jets had a guy that did that,

00:51:34.210 --> 00:51:36.989
and then now Popsicle Rebels. Yeah, I think they

00:51:36.989 --> 00:51:39.230
have a guy that does that, too. There's a lot

00:51:39.230 --> 00:51:41.190
of really good bassists that aren't that well

00:51:41.190 --> 00:51:44.389
-known that do a lot of the finger work and don't

00:51:44.389 --> 00:51:47.809
even use picks. Yeah. So it just depends on what

00:51:47.809 --> 00:51:50.090
you like, really. Carol Kay would be another

00:51:50.090 --> 00:51:53.429
one. Carol Kay would be another one. Yeah. Let's

00:51:53.429 --> 00:51:55.800
see. Oh, Geezer Butler. Geezer Butler's a good

00:51:55.800 --> 00:51:58.960
one. Chris Squire. Chris Squire. Yes. Yes. Very

00:51:58.960 --> 00:52:01.440
good one. He influenced so many bass players.

00:52:01.480 --> 00:52:03.500
And people don't even know it. Yeah. I know.

00:52:03.639 --> 00:52:06.519
Pretty much every bass player I know holds Chris

00:52:06.519 --> 00:52:09.340
Squire in great high regard. He is a musician's

00:52:09.340 --> 00:52:13.280
musician, Chris Squire. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, yeah.

00:52:13.360 --> 00:52:16.000
I think all of those are good names. I know some

00:52:16.000 --> 00:52:19.099
people will talk about Les Claypool from Primus,

00:52:19.099 --> 00:52:22.760
but his stuff just turns me right off. To me,

00:52:22.820 --> 00:52:25.880
it's too much. Even Flea. Yeah, Flea's a little

00:52:25.880 --> 00:52:28.159
too much. Too much popping, too much funk. At

00:52:28.159 --> 00:52:30.780
some point, you've got to make music. Yeah. And

00:52:30.780 --> 00:52:33.219
remember that no instrument is the lead instrument.

00:52:33.300 --> 00:52:36.019
You're all there as a band. Exactly. And whenever

00:52:36.019 --> 00:52:39.000
it's lead bass, even getting lead. Yeah. And

00:52:39.000 --> 00:52:41.880
even Iron Maiden, kind of, a little bit. Yeah.

00:52:42.579 --> 00:52:45.900
Steve Harris is really good, but he likes to

00:52:45.900 --> 00:52:49.539
try, not try, he kind of takes the lead with

00:52:49.539 --> 00:52:52.849
his rhythm. Which is good in Iron Maiden music,

00:52:52.969 --> 00:52:55.469
but it's not good in all music. True, true. Oh,

00:52:55.510 --> 00:53:01.050
well. All right, how about drummer? Neil Peart.

00:53:01.130 --> 00:53:05.309
Neil Peart, yeah. Vinny Kaliuta, who's retiring

00:53:05.309 --> 00:53:08.449
soon. Yeah, he is. He played with Sting for a

00:53:08.449 --> 00:53:10.929
long time. Yeah. I think he started... Who's

00:53:10.929 --> 00:53:14.250
the guy from Elton John? The original was Nigel

00:53:14.250 --> 00:53:16.869
Olsen. Nigel Olsen. He played in Your Eye of

00:53:16.869 --> 00:53:19.750
Heat briefly. Yeah, I liked him a lot. Yeah.

00:53:21.329 --> 00:53:23.889
Oh, Ginger Baker. Ginger Baker. Even though he

00:53:23.889 --> 00:53:26.010
is impossible, it sounds like. Yeah, he was a

00:53:26.010 --> 00:53:28.630
great drummer, not so much of a great human being.

00:53:28.909 --> 00:53:31.550
Not the way it sounds. Not the way it sounds,

00:53:31.630 --> 00:53:34.369
no. Somebody that a lot of people haven't heard

00:53:34.369 --> 00:53:38.190
of, Jim Gordon, who was the drummer in Traffic.

00:53:38.570 --> 00:53:42.590
He played with Gordon Lightfoot. He played with

00:53:42.590 --> 00:53:45.030
Alice. He played with Peter Gabriel. He played

00:53:45.030 --> 00:53:49.039
with a ton of people. And he had a monster drum

00:53:49.039 --> 00:53:50.880
set, but by listening to him, you wouldn't really

00:53:50.880 --> 00:53:52.920
hear that he had a monster drum set because he

00:53:52.920 --> 00:53:55.420
only played what was necessary. Yeah. But listen

00:53:55.420 --> 00:53:57.900
to some of the older traffic tunes, and that's

00:53:57.900 --> 00:54:01.260
Jim Gordon on drums. He's got such a delicate

00:54:01.260 --> 00:54:06.139
touch. He can play rock. He can do jazz. Yeah,

00:54:06.239 --> 00:54:09.480
he can do it all. Yeah. It's just such a shame

00:54:09.480 --> 00:54:11.320
that no one figured out he was schizophrenic

00:54:11.320 --> 00:54:15.719
in time. Yes. He listened to the voices that

00:54:15.719 --> 00:54:17.539
told him to starve himself and then kill his

00:54:17.539 --> 00:54:20.840
mother. Yeah. He did both. He did both. Yeah.

00:54:22.420 --> 00:54:24.519
Let's see. There's others, too. I'm just not

00:54:24.519 --> 00:54:27.860
thinking of them right now. Steve Smith. Steve

00:54:27.860 --> 00:54:30.739
Smith is good. Ex -Journey. I always liked Nico

00:54:30.739 --> 00:54:33.280
McBrain. Yeah, Nico's a real good guy. Yeah.

00:54:34.599 --> 00:54:39.079
I just missed his Iron Maiden cover band at Rock

00:54:39.079 --> 00:54:41.800
and Roll Ribs in Coral Springs, Florida by one

00:54:41.800 --> 00:54:44.369
day. Oh, I was so pissed. I wanted to see him

00:54:44.369 --> 00:54:47.469
play. He plays in that cover band out in their

00:54:47.469 --> 00:54:51.670
yard until the beer runs out. I'm trying to remember

00:54:51.670 --> 00:54:54.590
the name of Santana's original drummer because

00:54:54.590 --> 00:54:57.550
he was pretty stunning. Graham Lear took over

00:54:57.550 --> 00:54:59.750
after a while, but then they went back to their

00:54:59.750 --> 00:55:01.670
original guy. I can't remember his name. I can't

00:55:01.670 --> 00:55:03.650
remember. Another guy that's notable is Tommy

00:55:03.650 --> 00:55:08.349
Lee. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was hugely influential.

00:55:08.789 --> 00:55:12.349
Yes. Very good drummer. Yeah, and very inventive

00:55:12.349 --> 00:55:14.949
on his sound. Yeah. He would do all different

00:55:14.949 --> 00:55:16.769
kinds of different things. He was kind of like

00:55:16.769 --> 00:55:20.289
Eddie Van Halen at drums. Yeah, yeah. Although

00:55:20.289 --> 00:55:22.949
Alex Van Halen was no slouch either. No, I learned

00:55:22.949 --> 00:55:24.869
to like him much later. I didn't like him earlier.

00:55:25.110 --> 00:55:30.250
I didn't either. Symbols, yeah. No, no, he was

00:55:30.250 --> 00:55:32.769
a lot more than that. And both you and me, Hopford

00:55:32.769 --> 00:55:34.530
Teacher, turned us around. Yeah. It was like,

00:55:34.590 --> 00:55:40.550
what the hell? Yeah, that's something else. And

00:55:40.550 --> 00:55:42.150
he keeps adding to it and adding to it. And it's

00:55:42.150 --> 00:55:44.110
like, how many fucking things is he going to

00:55:44.110 --> 00:55:49.210
do here? Now, I never saw Van Halen live. I have.

00:55:49.329 --> 00:55:51.389
But I hear that when they did Hot for Teacher,

00:55:51.630 --> 00:55:54.349
Alex would play that intro wrong intentionally.

00:55:55.590 --> 00:55:58.250
And the band would make him stop. You know, I

00:55:58.250 --> 00:55:59.670
don't remember. And then Fuss Adam and David

00:55:59.670 --> 00:56:02.170
Lee Roth would point and say, hey, let's give

00:56:02.170 --> 00:56:04.230
a round of applause for our drummer's drinking

00:56:04.230 --> 00:56:07.110
problem. And everybody, ah. And then he'd play

00:56:07.110 --> 00:56:09.650
it correctly. But it was a gag to, you know,

00:56:09.650 --> 00:56:12.630
make a joke about his excessive drinking and

00:56:12.630 --> 00:56:14.909
then screwing up his drumming. Okay. So that

00:56:14.909 --> 00:56:17.489
was a fun gag. I did not get to catch them with

00:56:17.489 --> 00:56:19.730
David Lee Roth. I got to catch them with Sammy

00:56:19.730 --> 00:56:24.230
Hagar. Oh, yeah. So that probably wasn't their

00:56:24.230 --> 00:56:27.909
thing with Sammy Hagar. Yeah. So... Yeah, they

00:56:27.909 --> 00:56:30.670
were more of a party band with David. Yeah. And

00:56:30.670 --> 00:56:32.449
then they started growing up a little bit with

00:56:32.449 --> 00:56:37.110
Sammy. I prefer David, though, but that's okay.

00:56:37.250 --> 00:56:39.989
All right, and that's just because I like the

00:56:39.989 --> 00:56:43.690
raw, dirty rock like they did. Yeah, yeah. They

00:56:43.690 --> 00:56:47.190
didn't put so much thought and effort to it,

00:56:47.250 --> 00:56:50.789
so it was more of a... The song was more like

00:56:50.789 --> 00:56:53.610
it was originally thought of, and the first few

00:56:53.610 --> 00:56:55.469
playthroughs is like, yeah, this is cool, and

00:56:55.469 --> 00:56:57.530
then they think about it too much, and they add

00:56:57.530 --> 00:56:59.530
too much, and they change some things. Yeah,

00:56:59.550 --> 00:57:02.190
yeah, production is a weird thing. You need production.

00:57:02.719 --> 00:57:05.599
But they also need to know when to stop. Absolutely.

00:57:05.940 --> 00:57:11.219
And as Eddie Van Halen got more control, he started

00:57:11.219 --> 00:57:15.860
overworking his songs, and they became not quite

00:57:15.860 --> 00:57:18.519
as spontaneous and energy -filled as they could

00:57:18.519 --> 00:57:23.099
have been. Okay. Okay, yeah, no, I agree. I agree

00:57:23.099 --> 00:57:26.920
100%. Let's take the same question to guitarists.

00:57:27.119 --> 00:57:30.320
Okay. Eddie Van Halen. Eddie Van Halen's good.

00:57:30.380 --> 00:57:33.980
Jeff Beck. Jeff Beck, oh, yeah. Jeff Beck was

00:57:33.980 --> 00:57:38.260
so good at emotion. Yeah. But he was good at

00:57:38.260 --> 00:57:41.739
everything, actually. Another guitar player that

00:57:41.739 --> 00:57:44.420
really never gets mentioned in the conversation

00:57:44.420 --> 00:57:47.760
is Frank Zappa. Yeah, that's true. And his son,

00:57:47.780 --> 00:57:49.820
too. He was nuts on guitar. Dweezil, yeah. Dweezil

00:57:49.820 --> 00:57:52.619
was good, too. Yeah. Yeah, Frank Zappa, his music

00:57:52.619 --> 00:57:55.800
didn't actually accentuate it that much on albums,

00:57:56.019 --> 00:57:58.840
but he was a fantastic guitarist. Another one

00:57:58.840 --> 00:58:03.300
was Prince. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Prince could do things

00:58:03.300 --> 00:58:05.519
with the guitar that you just really didn't know

00:58:05.519 --> 00:58:08.019
because he rarely ever did it. Yeah, I know.

00:58:08.159 --> 00:58:11.159
And, yeah, he was not known for a guitarist,

00:58:11.179 --> 00:58:13.699
but, my God, when you heard him play, you didn't

00:58:13.699 --> 00:58:16.980
forget it. Yeah. So he played with a lot of feeling,

00:58:17.039 --> 00:58:21.980
compassion, and precision. Yeah. Let's see. There's

00:58:21.980 --> 00:58:25.340
a lot of other guitarists, too, but the apex

00:58:25.340 --> 00:58:27.500
would probably have been Nuno Beckencourt is

00:58:27.500 --> 00:58:31.079
one now. Yeah. Another one that people just sounds

00:58:31.079 --> 00:58:34.320
good. besides like mcmars did and all that was

00:58:34.320 --> 00:58:39.360
uh slash yeah slash is the most precise he isn't

00:58:39.360 --> 00:58:42.000
the most unique he just sounds good yeah he can

00:58:42.000 --> 00:58:43.860
write a riff yeah you can write a really good

00:58:43.860 --> 00:58:47.079
riff yeah it's odd it i guess it would describe

00:58:47.079 --> 00:58:50.099
it as easy to listen to easy to listen you know

00:58:50.099 --> 00:58:51.940
because when you listen to like jeff beck you

00:58:51.940 --> 00:58:54.119
got to work at it oh yeah you gotta figure out

00:58:54.119 --> 00:58:56.179
what he's trying to do same with alex leifson

00:58:56.179 --> 00:58:57.760
you got to listen to figure out what's going

00:58:57.760 --> 00:59:00.320
on yeah But Slash is just like, yeah, just let

00:59:00.320 --> 00:59:02.460
it wash over me while I drink this beer. Yeah.

00:59:03.239 --> 00:59:05.159
Next thing you know, you're nodding your head

00:59:05.159 --> 00:59:06.699
and tapping your tongue going, yeah, this is

00:59:06.699 --> 00:59:08.699
good. And you remember it the next day. You're

00:59:08.699 --> 00:59:11.059
like, yeah. Very Joe Perry -ish. And Joe Perry

00:59:11.059 --> 00:59:13.179
should probably be mentioned. But although, if

00:59:13.179 --> 00:59:14.659
you're going to mention him, you've got to mention

00:59:14.659 --> 00:59:17.219
Brad Whitford. True. Brad Whitford might even

00:59:17.219 --> 00:59:19.059
be a better guitarist, depending on how you look

00:59:19.059 --> 00:59:20.739
at it. He was definitely a lot more reliable

00:59:20.739 --> 00:59:24.659
over the long term. Oh, fuck yeah, he was. Joe

00:59:24.659 --> 00:59:27.059
Perry had his own things, too. Not just Steven

00:59:27.059 --> 00:59:30.780
Tyler. Yeah. They called them the Toxic Twins

00:59:30.780 --> 00:59:34.619
for a reason. Man, this wind is giving us quite

00:59:34.619 --> 00:59:37.219
the blowjob up here. It is. And not the good

00:59:37.219 --> 00:59:40.059
kind. No. Okay, so that's the end of that. Alrighty.

00:59:43.940 --> 00:59:47.829
Here's an interesting story. Okay. WKRP is making

00:59:47.829 --> 00:59:51.510
a return. Really? Yeah. I love the original.

00:59:51.550 --> 00:59:53.730
I hope they don't fuck it up. Well, it's not

00:59:53.730 --> 00:59:56.050
quite going to be what you think, but it is making

00:59:56.050 --> 00:59:58.809
a return. Okay. The call letters made famous

00:59:58.809 --> 01:00:01.809
by the television sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati are

01:00:01.809 --> 01:00:04.989
set to return to the Ohio City, according to

01:00:04.989 --> 01:00:07.110
the head of a non -profit organization that has

01:00:07.110 --> 01:00:09.230
controlled the brand for more than a decade.

01:00:09.309 --> 01:00:13.329
I heard Joe Burrow is going to play McFly. Venus

01:00:13.329 --> 01:00:16.590
flytrap? Yeah, yeah. Hey, he would dress. Yeah.

01:00:16.989 --> 01:00:19.469
Back to the future. Yeah. But, yeah, he would

01:00:19.469 --> 01:00:21.409
dress about like that, too. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:00:22.530 --> 01:00:26.789
Quote. No blackface. No. No, no, no. Leave that

01:00:26.789 --> 01:00:31.760
to Ted Danson. And Robert Downey Jr. Yes. Okay,

01:00:31.820 --> 01:00:34.300
quote, I cannot, by contract, tell you when.

01:00:34.400 --> 01:00:36.780
I cannot tell you who. Venus Flytrap. God, that

01:00:36.780 --> 01:00:39.860
was a good name, too. Johnny Fever. Anyhow, go

01:00:39.860 --> 01:00:41.900
ahead. But he said, I can tell you, direct to

01:00:41.900 --> 01:00:45.420
the camera, WKRP, after 48 years, is coming to

01:00:45.420 --> 01:00:48.920
Cincinnati. DP McIntyre, who leads the media

01:00:48.920 --> 01:00:51.219
nonprofit that has been auctioning the call letters,

01:00:51.440 --> 01:00:54.079
tells the Associated Press, book it, it's done.

01:00:54.829 --> 01:00:57.510
The WKRP call sign became widely known through

01:00:57.510 --> 01:01:00.769
the CBS sitcom that aired from 78 to 82 and featured

01:01:00.769 --> 01:01:02.969
fictional radio station employees. It was only

01:01:02.969 --> 01:01:06.670
four years? Yeah, only four. Boy, it seems longer

01:01:06.670 --> 01:01:09.250
than that. It does, yeah. And on YouTube, you

01:01:09.250 --> 01:01:12.329
can find episodes from seasons two through four,

01:01:12.409 --> 01:01:15.969
but almost none from season one. Why? I'm not

01:01:15.969 --> 01:01:21.710
really sure. The fictional radio station included

01:01:21.710 --> 01:01:24.690
disc jockeys and a hapless newsman, Les Nesman.

01:01:25.090 --> 01:01:27.690
Oh, I love it. He was such a good character.

01:01:29.070 --> 01:01:32.250
Timid little geek. Yes. And apparently, you know,

01:01:32.250 --> 01:01:34.190
when the camera wasn't rolling, he was the one

01:01:34.190 --> 01:01:35.650
who cracked everybody up. Oh, I know. Because

01:01:35.650 --> 01:01:37.510
he was just funny as hell. He was funny as hell.

01:01:37.590 --> 01:01:40.250
Yep. The show helped launch the careers of several

01:01:40.250 --> 01:01:42.510
actors and remains remembered for a comedic Thanksgiving

01:01:42.510 --> 01:01:45.010
episode involving live turkeys dropped from a

01:01:45.010 --> 01:01:47.730
helicopter. Oh, yeah. Which itself was based

01:01:47.730 --> 01:01:50.730
on a real event where they dropped turkeys from,

01:01:50.809 --> 01:01:53.170
I think, a car driving by. They were throwing

01:01:53.170 --> 01:01:57.489
turkeys out at a used car lot. Okay. McIntyre

01:01:57.489 --> 01:01:59.690
said the program influenced his own career ambitions.

01:01:59.869 --> 01:02:02.110
At the end of a 30 -minute episode, he said,

01:02:02.170 --> 01:02:04.989
I got to proclaim, I'm going to be in radio,

01:02:05.030 --> 01:02:06.650
and if I ever have the opportunity, I'm going

01:02:06.650 --> 01:02:10.760
to run a station and call it WKRP. He began working

01:02:10.760 --> 01:02:13.360
in radio as a teenager, and in 2014, his North

01:02:13.360 --> 01:02:16.539
Carolina -based nonprofit acquired the WKRP call

01:02:16.539 --> 01:02:18.440
letters from the Federal Communications Commission.

01:02:18.800 --> 01:02:21.059
They were available? They were available. The

01:02:21.059 --> 01:02:23.380
designation had previously been used by stations

01:02:23.380 --> 01:02:26.159
in Georgia and Tennessee. I'll be damned. Didn't

01:02:26.159 --> 01:02:31.559
know. And when the TV show was in first run in

01:02:31.559 --> 01:02:37.280
78, there was a radio station in Cincinnati called...

01:02:38.960 --> 01:02:41.460
WKRZ, I think it was. Very, very close. I think

01:02:41.460 --> 01:02:42.880
I remember a little bit about that, yeah. And

01:02:42.880 --> 01:02:45.099
they had to call and ask permission. You know,

01:02:45.099 --> 01:02:47.639
our show's going to be very similar. Is that

01:02:47.639 --> 01:02:49.340
okay with you? And the radio station just said,

01:02:49.400 --> 01:02:54.360
oh, heck yeah. Yeah, please. Please. The non

01:02:54.360 --> 01:02:58.940
-profit launched WKRP -LP, a low -power FM station,

01:02:59.019 --> 01:03:03.480
in 2015. Broadcasting at 101 .9 FM, the station

01:03:03.480 --> 01:03:06.400
featured a mix of music formats and locally -oriented

01:03:06.400 --> 01:03:09.940
programming. Low -power FM stations limited to

01:03:09.940 --> 01:03:12.579
non -profit or operators typically cover a small

01:03:12.579 --> 01:03:15.099
geographic area with reduced transmission strength.

01:03:16.139 --> 01:03:18.099
McIntyre described the station's approach as

01:03:18.099 --> 01:03:21.599
a throwback to earlier eras of radio. Our format

01:03:21.599 --> 01:03:24.719
is what radio used to be 35 years ago in small

01:03:24.719 --> 01:03:26.920
-town America. And that's the way I want to hear

01:03:26.920 --> 01:03:30.539
it, too, you know? After a decade, McIntyre said

01:03:30.539 --> 01:03:32.739
the organization decided to transfer control

01:03:32.739 --> 01:03:35.960
of the WKRP brand as its founding members stepped

01:03:35.960 --> 01:03:38.480
back. The nonprofit has sought bids for the use

01:03:38.480 --> 01:03:40.320
of the call letters across radio, television,

01:03:40.440 --> 01:03:43.099
and digital platforms. Proceeds are expected

01:03:43.099 --> 01:03:45.539
to support a new venture, Independent Broadcast

01:03:45.539 --> 01:03:48.019
Consultants, aimed at helping emerging broadcasters.

01:03:49.130 --> 01:03:52.050
McIntyre said an agreement to bring WKRP back

01:03:52.050 --> 01:03:54.590
to Cincinnati has been finalized, though he declined

01:03:54.590 --> 01:03:57.130
to provide details. It will be radio, he said,

01:03:57.210 --> 01:03:59.690
but that's all I can tell you at this time. He

01:03:59.690 --> 01:04:02.429
added that he hopes any future use of the call

01:04:02.429 --> 01:04:05.369
sign will honor its cultural legacy. It has a

01:04:05.369 --> 01:04:07.630
special place in the hearts of an awful lot of

01:04:07.630 --> 01:04:09.869
people, he said, and we have been very, very

01:04:09.869 --> 01:04:11.690
proud to have been a steward of that legacy.

01:04:12.289 --> 01:04:14.750
Okay. So it's going to be an actual full -power

01:04:14.750 --> 01:04:17.269
radio station. Who knows what they're going to

01:04:17.269 --> 01:04:18.909
do with it. I'm going to listen to it online

01:04:18.909 --> 01:04:21.829
because they'll have an online outlet. Very cool.

01:04:22.150 --> 01:04:24.409
Yeah. Then we'll be another day with KRP. I was

01:04:24.409 --> 01:04:26.550
so surprised it wasn't taken, but I guess it

01:04:26.550 --> 01:04:28.449
sounds to me like some radio stations went out

01:04:28.449 --> 01:04:31.329
of business and gave it up. Yeah. Wow. It's just

01:04:31.329 --> 01:04:35.670
like KYYS, I believe, is still owned by Odyssey,

01:04:35.829 --> 01:04:38.670
maybe, I think, because Intercom still owned

01:04:38.670 --> 01:04:41.030
it. Yeah. And I think they transferred it to

01:04:41.030 --> 01:04:43.980
a Mexican station. Yeah, because you can't just

01:04:43.980 --> 01:04:46.119
get the call letters and sit on it. No, you have

01:04:46.119 --> 01:04:48.079
to do something with it. Yeah, so they had to

01:04:48.079 --> 01:04:50.000
use them on a radio station in order to keep

01:04:50.000 --> 01:04:51.860
them. That's why this group was doing the low

01:04:51.860 --> 01:04:54.079
-power FM stations. Okay. So they could maintain

01:04:54.079 --> 01:04:56.280
control and ownership. And that's another thing

01:04:56.280 --> 01:04:58.119
that's happening, too, is the low -powered FM

01:04:58.119 --> 01:05:01.059
stations are really becoming very popular. I

01:05:01.059 --> 01:05:03.360
would love to see some. locally that we could

01:05:03.360 --> 01:05:05.860
tune into i would too because it's pretty much

01:05:05.860 --> 01:05:07.599
a free -for -all they don't operate on that big

01:05:07.599 --> 01:05:10.079
a budget yeah yeah you also get a lot of homegrown

01:05:10.079 --> 01:05:11.960
talent like that too you know it's just like

01:05:11.960 --> 01:05:13.900
just get on there say whatever we don't care

01:05:13.900 --> 01:05:16.719
you know just don't get the fcc on our ass that's

01:05:16.719 --> 01:05:20.860
it yeah bro um you know cvs right the store cvs

01:05:20.860 --> 01:05:23.820
you know what the real name of it stands for

01:05:23.820 --> 01:05:26.860
no i was just wondering that okay consumer value

01:05:26.860 --> 01:05:30.280
store Well, that makes sense. Now, people came

01:05:30.280 --> 01:05:35.579
up with their own names for it. So, one of the

01:05:35.579 --> 01:05:38.519
ones that they came up with is candies, candy,

01:05:38.739 --> 01:05:45.500
vitamins, and shit. That's a good one. I'm like,

01:05:45.619 --> 01:05:49.199
pretty much covers it. The next one that someone

01:05:49.199 --> 01:05:51.619
wrote in about, this is like some sort of a,

01:05:51.739 --> 01:05:56.900
I don't know, poll or something that people wrote

01:05:56.900 --> 01:06:00.739
in. The next one was Greek for very long receipt.

01:06:01.519 --> 01:06:04.059
Oh, okay. That's true because their receipts

01:06:04.059 --> 01:06:08.500
are like fucking three miles long. I just leave

01:06:08.500 --> 01:06:10.559
the receipt because it takes ten minutes of standing

01:06:10.559 --> 01:06:14.079
there for it to print out. Yeah. So the next

01:06:14.079 --> 01:06:18.539
one, condoms and vaginal supplies. That's a good

01:06:18.539 --> 01:06:24.179
one. So this is for the name CVS, which stands

01:06:24.179 --> 01:06:27.960
for Consumer Value Store. But this is what people

01:06:27.960 --> 01:06:29.579
wrote in and said what they thought it meant

01:06:29.579 --> 01:06:32.340
or what it should mean. Next one would be can't

01:06:32.340 --> 01:06:36.980
verify shit, which has been my experience with

01:06:36.980 --> 01:06:42.500
our self -service kiosk and nobody else. This

01:06:42.500 --> 01:06:48.960
next one, come visit Satan. How about condoms,

01:06:48.960 --> 01:06:55.449
volume, and sodas? That one I like a lot. And

01:06:55.449 --> 01:07:00.309
this next one is just pretty much true. Where'd

01:07:00.309 --> 01:07:03.170
it go? COVID vaccine status. COVID vaccine status.

01:07:03.329 --> 01:07:06.409
Yep. Yep. And then finally, the other one, the

01:07:06.409 --> 01:07:08.409
last one didn't print out. Coca -Cola Vaseline

01:07:08.409 --> 01:07:13.320
and sardines. And they do sell sardines there.

01:07:13.380 --> 01:07:15.360
I've seen them. Oh, okay. And I'm sure they have

01:07:15.360 --> 01:07:18.519
Vaseline as well. Oh, I would think so. I mean,

01:07:18.579 --> 01:07:20.059
you know, they've got to sell something that

01:07:20.059 --> 01:07:22.599
will counter the sardines, right? They do. It's

01:07:22.599 --> 01:07:24.639
like, man, my ass really burns. Well, here's

01:07:24.639 --> 01:07:27.099
some Vaseline. Yeah. Stone Temple Pilots like

01:07:27.099 --> 01:07:28.900
Vaseline so much they wrote a song about it.

01:07:28.940 --> 01:07:30.920
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who can blame them? Flies in

01:07:30.920 --> 01:07:33.500
the Vaseline. That's right, yeah. Interesting

01:07:33.500 --> 01:07:35.559
song, too. Yeah, yeah. Originally it was called

01:07:35.559 --> 01:07:37.820
Dingleberries in My Vaseline, but then he changed

01:07:37.820 --> 01:07:40.710
it. Yeah, yeah, I get it, yeah. The way the rolling

01:07:40.710 --> 01:07:42.789
drum beat and everything just starts out is interesting

01:07:42.789 --> 01:07:44.949
on that song. It's like they went right in the

01:07:44.949 --> 01:07:47.570
middle. Yeah. And then the guitar is pretty interesting,

01:07:47.730 --> 01:07:53.809
too. I mean, really odd rhythm. Yeah. For me,

01:07:53.849 --> 01:07:56.690
it seems like you're rocking, swaying back and

01:07:56.690 --> 01:08:00.690
forth. It is that kind of a song. Yeah, like

01:08:00.690 --> 01:08:02.670
you're on a train and it's rocking back and forth.

01:08:03.030 --> 01:08:05.210
Yeah, it does. And I wonder if they tried to

01:08:05.210 --> 01:08:07.510
come across like that, because it certainly did.

01:08:07.630 --> 01:08:11.650
How long have we got? Just over an hour. Okay.

01:08:13.210 --> 01:08:16.350
I got a story about Journey. Oh, okay. Let's

01:08:16.350 --> 01:08:18.869
hear it. Journey singer Arnel Pena just said

01:08:18.869 --> 01:08:20.869
he tried to quit the band twice due to intense

01:08:20.869 --> 01:08:22.810
personal problems, and they wouldn't let him.

01:08:23.789 --> 01:08:27.470
Isn't that weird? Quote, I said to Neil Sean

01:08:27.470 --> 01:08:29.770
and Jonathan Cain I wanted to retire because

01:08:29.770 --> 01:08:32.470
of my personal problems. No answer, he said.

01:08:32.550 --> 01:08:34.569
Obviously, they don't want to find another singer.

01:08:35.290 --> 01:08:37.270
Pineda has been the frontman of Journey since

01:08:37.270 --> 01:08:40.970
2007 when guitarist Neil Sean spotted his pitch

01:08:40.970 --> 01:08:43.090
-perfect version of Faithfully on YouTube and

01:08:43.090 --> 01:08:45.489
invited him to audition. He joined the rockers

01:08:45.489 --> 01:08:48.010
in place of singer Steve Perry, who exited the

01:08:48.010 --> 01:08:51.510
band for the second and final time in 1998. Well,

01:08:51.529 --> 01:08:53.550
they probably got him on a really good contract,

01:08:53.649 --> 01:08:56.250
and they don't want him to leave. He came from

01:08:56.250 --> 01:08:58.109
nothing, I mean, you know. Yeah, he really did.

01:08:59.500 --> 01:09:01.479
Though becoming the face of one of the world's

01:09:01.479 --> 01:09:03.960
biggest bands overnight was a welcome surprise,

01:09:04.180 --> 01:09:06.680
the 19 years of singing Journey's operatic hits

01:09:06.680 --> 01:09:09.260
like Don't Stop Believin' and Open Arms have

01:09:09.260 --> 01:09:11.600
taken a toll on Pineda's voice, and the star

01:09:11.600 --> 01:09:13.840
has also struggled in the midst of a contentious

01:09:13.840 --> 01:09:17.100
divorce. The Filipino singer told Rolling Stone

01:09:17.100 --> 01:09:21.159
that he'd informed Kane, 76, and Sean, 72, in

01:09:21.159 --> 01:09:24.680
2024 that if they were planning farewell dates,

01:09:24.760 --> 01:09:27.060
they should keep him in the loop as his personal

01:09:27.060 --> 01:09:29.659
issues were getting more intense, and he wasn't

01:09:29.659 --> 01:09:32.600
sure that he'd want to commit to a tour. I said,

01:09:32.619 --> 01:09:35.479
I want you to discuss the schedule with me. It

01:09:35.479 --> 01:09:37.979
is what it is now, but then I was really not

01:09:37.979 --> 01:09:40.279
happy with how they scheduled this tour. My body

01:09:40.279 --> 01:09:42.439
has changed, he said. I can't take the cold weather

01:09:42.439 --> 01:09:48.140
anymore. Pineda claims he... Well, at least that

01:09:48.140 --> 01:09:52.130
makes sense. He wasn't consulted. He claims to

01:09:52.130 --> 01:09:54.270
Rolling Stone he was not consulted before Journey

01:09:54.270 --> 01:09:56.909
booked 60 dates in the U .S. Final Frontier Tour

01:09:56.909 --> 01:10:00.069
for 2026, scheduled through August, and 40 more

01:10:00.069 --> 01:10:02.909
for next year. Sean told the outlet that Pineda

01:10:02.909 --> 01:10:04.909
can't up and quit the group as their touring

01:10:04.909 --> 01:10:07.750
contract allegedly stipulates that no tour can

01:10:07.750 --> 01:10:11.590
happen without Arnel Pineda. So he's got pull.

01:10:12.569 --> 01:10:14.949
Wow. Right now, they can't tour his Journey without

01:10:14.949 --> 01:10:19.090
him. Wow. Isn't that something? That is. Meanwhile,

01:10:19.170 --> 01:10:21.430
Pineda explained that much of this conflict stems

01:10:21.430 --> 01:10:24.649
from his divorce from wife Cherry, with whom

01:10:24.649 --> 01:10:26.789
he shares two children. The star accused Cherry

01:10:26.789 --> 01:10:29.930
of adultery in court filings in 2023, which she

01:10:29.930 --> 01:10:32.270
has denied, whereas prosecutors allege that she

01:10:32.270 --> 01:10:34.930
endured verbal abuse, manipulation, and coercive

01:10:34.930 --> 01:10:37.850
behavior, which he has denied. So, he said, she

01:10:37.850 --> 01:10:41.720
said. Quote, my personal problems really took

01:10:41.720 --> 01:10:43.539
a toll on me. That's why I wanted to prioritize

01:10:43.539 --> 01:10:46.100
my family. It's not that I hate touring with

01:10:46.100 --> 01:10:47.920
Journey. It's like the same thing that happened

01:10:47.920 --> 01:10:50.279
with Steve Perry. He has a hip problem, Pineda

01:10:50.279 --> 01:10:53.300
said. Me, I have a personal problem that's taking

01:10:53.300 --> 01:10:55.520
a toll on me. It's getting in my head emotionally.

01:10:55.979 --> 01:10:58.199
I told them that I was a wreck and needed a little

01:10:58.199 --> 01:11:00.439
more time so that I could fix my family, but

01:11:00.439 --> 01:11:03.979
still I have to do this. Despite the disagreements,

01:11:04.020 --> 01:11:06.100
Pineda told the outlet that he has nothing but

01:11:06.100 --> 01:11:08.479
adoration for his bandmates. I love these guys.

01:11:08.600 --> 01:11:10.819
I respect them so much, and I will remain until

01:11:10.819 --> 01:11:13.539
the last days of my life grateful and really

01:11:13.539 --> 01:11:15.260
feeling blessed for what they've done for me,

01:11:15.319 --> 01:11:20.819
he said. Okay. So interesting. Yeah. Interesting

01:11:20.819 --> 01:11:23.279
that he has that much pull. Yeah. For one, I

01:11:23.279 --> 01:11:24.699
didn't think they would give it to him. Yeah.

01:11:25.529 --> 01:11:27.590
So he had a good agent at one point that said,

01:11:27.710 --> 01:11:30.729
yeah, let's make sure you guys can't dump him

01:11:30.729 --> 01:11:33.470
behind his back. Yes, and another thing is Pineda

01:11:33.470 --> 01:11:37.350
became a darling. Yeah. You know, a success story

01:11:37.350 --> 01:11:40.090
out of nothing, rags to riches. And right now

01:11:40.090 --> 01:11:42.189
he's been in Journey way longer than Steve Perry

01:11:42.189 --> 01:11:45.310
was. Yes. He's got the most seniority in the

01:11:45.310 --> 01:11:48.689
band. He didn't write the songs, but. No, no.

01:11:50.550 --> 01:11:55.810
Yeah, wow. Okay. You want to hear some rock names

01:11:55.810 --> 01:12:00.390
of songs that you want to hear their original

01:12:00.390 --> 01:12:06.649
name. Oh, yeah. Okay. Breed Nirvana, the song

01:12:06.649 --> 01:12:14.649
Breed, the original title was Emodium. That's

01:12:14.649 --> 01:12:16.590
a brand name. You can't really use that. Well,

01:12:16.670 --> 01:12:18.569
I think maybe that's why they changed it. I don't

01:12:18.569 --> 01:12:20.979
know. Kurt Cobain originally titled Nevermind

01:12:20.979 --> 01:12:24.420
Trek after the anti -diarrheal medicine his tour

01:12:24.420 --> 01:12:31.859
mate Ted Doyle was using on tour. That's good.

01:12:32.079 --> 01:12:34.899
That is good. He just didn't put in the A .D.

01:12:35.000 --> 01:12:40.859
Yeah. Bohemian Rhapsody. The original title was

01:12:40.859 --> 01:12:44.260
The Cowboy Song. Why in the hell would it be

01:12:44.260 --> 01:12:47.199
named that? Must have had different lyrics. Freddie

01:12:47.199 --> 01:12:50.319
Mercury's masterpiece was nearly named after

01:12:50.319 --> 01:12:53.420
the cowboy song bits he had written years prior.

01:12:53.720 --> 01:12:56.220
So it's going to be named after something like

01:12:56.220 --> 01:13:00.420
that. All right, Jumpin' Jack Flash, The Stones.

01:13:01.640 --> 01:13:07.159
Keith Richards and Mick Jagger were at the Redlands,

01:13:07.279 --> 01:13:09.840
Richards' home, when the sound of their gardener,

01:13:09.840 --> 01:13:13.500
Jack Dyer, stomping a rubber boots. I woke them

01:13:13.500 --> 01:13:16.180
up. Richard said, oh, that's Jack. That's Jumping

01:13:16.180 --> 01:13:19.960
Jack. And that was the original name. And then

01:13:19.960 --> 01:13:23.779
they started calling it Jumping Jack Flash. Nice.

01:13:23.800 --> 01:13:25.859
Instead of Jumping Jack. Not that big of a difference,

01:13:25.960 --> 01:13:30.500
but that was the original name. I'm made of wax,

01:13:30.739 --> 01:13:33.399
Larry. What are you made of? A day to remember.

01:13:33.699 --> 01:13:37.079
The title is a direct quote from 2006 Ben Stiller's

01:13:37.079 --> 01:13:40.279
movie, Night at the Museum. And it doesn't say

01:13:40.279 --> 01:13:43.100
what band came up with that. No. I don't know

01:13:43.100 --> 01:13:45.180
why it didn't. It has all the other bands in

01:13:45.180 --> 01:13:48.479
here. 5150 Van Halen, named after the California

01:13:48.479 --> 01:13:51.760
police code for detaining a psychiatric patient,

01:13:51.979 --> 01:13:55.159
which was also named Eddie Van Halen's new recording

01:13:55.159 --> 01:13:58.579
studio. Yep, and PV put that on an amplifier.

01:13:58.640 --> 01:14:01.359
Yeah, they did. It was even on a guitar at one

01:14:01.359 --> 01:14:04.840
time, wasn't it? 5150, I believe so. And that

01:14:04.840 --> 01:14:07.600
was their comeback album, too, with Van Hagar,

01:14:07.779 --> 01:14:12.510
if you will. The Hellcat Spangled... Sha -la

01:14:12.510 --> 01:14:18.329
-la by the Arctic Monkeys. Okay, whatever. They

01:14:18.329 --> 01:14:22.550
were going to call it Suck It and See. Oh, my

01:14:22.550 --> 01:14:25.989
God. I know. But then again, it's Arctic Monkeys,

01:14:26.010 --> 01:14:28.789
so who cares? All right. Several Species of Small

01:14:28.789 --> 01:14:32.630
Furry Animals. Pink Floyd. Oh, I know that song.

01:14:32.829 --> 01:14:36.289
The full title is Several Species of Small Furry

01:14:36.289 --> 01:14:38.810
Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving

01:14:38.810 --> 01:14:42.130
with a Pict. Yes. Which is a term for an ancient

01:14:42.130 --> 01:14:44.729
Scottish. Yes, that's it right there. Yep. It's

01:14:44.729 --> 01:14:47.289
a weird, it's not really a song. It's a bunch

01:14:47.289 --> 01:14:49.529
of animal noises and some guy murmuring in the

01:14:49.529 --> 01:14:52.329
background. Yeah, yeah. It's garbage. It's pretty

01:14:52.329 --> 01:14:54.470
much garbage. If you're high off your ass, it's

01:14:54.470 --> 01:14:56.409
kind of fun, but otherwise I'd say avoid it.

01:14:56.670 --> 01:14:59.729
Yep. The Way, fastball. The hit was inspired

01:14:59.729 --> 01:15:02.750
by a true dark story of a runaway couple, Layla

01:15:02.750 --> 01:15:05.149
and Raymond Howard, who went missing after a

01:15:05.149 --> 01:15:08.670
festival and was called Lost The Way. Oh. That

01:15:08.670 --> 01:15:13.539
was called The Way. And a simple delusionary,

01:15:13.539 --> 01:15:18.979
again, this thing is leaving stuff out. My printer

01:15:18.979 --> 01:15:22.840
is bullshit. The rest of it, I don't know what

01:15:22.840 --> 01:15:25.260
the hell it says, so we can move on. Well, I

01:15:25.260 --> 01:15:28.079
thought of two. There was Barry Manilow's first

01:15:28.079 --> 01:15:32.760
big hit called Mandy. Yeah. Was originally called

01:15:32.760 --> 01:15:37.840
Brandy. Yeah. After his dog. Yeah. But a band

01:15:37.840 --> 01:15:40.699
called Looking Glass already had a song out called

01:15:40.699 --> 01:15:43.020
Brandy, You're a Fine Girl, What a Good Wife

01:15:43.020 --> 01:15:45.619
You Would Be, etc., etc. So his label said, eh,

01:15:45.779 --> 01:15:47.640
got to change the name Brandy to something else.

01:15:47.739 --> 01:15:51.180
So he switched to Mandy. Oh, okay. And there's

01:15:51.180 --> 01:15:53.579
a Beatles song, I think it was Strawberry Fields,

01:15:53.800 --> 01:15:56.420
that original, or maybe it was the song Yesterday,

01:15:56.699 --> 01:15:59.520
but the original title was Scrambled Eggs. Because

01:15:59.520 --> 01:16:01.539
that's what somebody had for breakfast that morning.

01:16:03.229 --> 01:16:05.590
Hey, let's do that scrambled egg song. I kind

01:16:05.590 --> 01:16:12.170
of like it. Yeah. Okay. I've got some of the

01:16:12.170 --> 01:16:14.529
worst song titles ever, or do you have something?

01:16:15.050 --> 01:16:17.770
I've got a quick thing. Okay. Rush's tour date's

01:16:17.770 --> 01:16:19.810
coming up. I saw something that's kind of interesting

01:16:19.810 --> 01:16:21.729
about their tour dates. They're not coming by

01:16:21.729 --> 01:16:23.970
Kansas City, I know that. No. Which is, I find

01:16:23.970 --> 01:16:25.689
it disappointing, because I would like to see

01:16:25.689 --> 01:16:29.289
them. Yeah. Even without Neil Peart, they didn't

01:16:29.289 --> 01:16:32.079
kick him out, he died. Yeah. But the interesting

01:16:32.079 --> 01:16:37.739
thing about their tour dates in the U .S., they're

01:16:37.739 --> 01:16:40.859
doing at least tour and up to four concerts in

01:16:40.859 --> 01:16:43.680
a location before moving on. No single dates.

01:16:45.100 --> 01:16:47.140
Okay. So that would be a part of the reason.

01:16:47.260 --> 01:16:48.300
So they're like minor residency. Yeah. That's

01:16:48.300 --> 01:16:49.920
why they wouldn't be here. That's why they wouldn't

01:16:49.920 --> 01:16:51.640
be here because if they don't think they can

01:16:51.640 --> 01:16:53.859
sell two nights. But a lot of places they're

01:16:53.859 --> 01:16:56.079
doing four in a row. Wow. But the interesting

01:16:56.079 --> 01:16:58.199
thing is, you know, even if they're like. Are

01:16:58.199 --> 01:17:00.140
they Toronto they're doing four in a row? Yeah.

01:17:00.539 --> 01:17:02.220
Then they're doing British Columbia, et cetera.

01:17:02.539 --> 01:17:06.060
But they're never playing back -to -back nights.

01:17:06.300 --> 01:17:09.180
There's always a day in between. You know what?

01:17:09.260 --> 01:17:11.300
And I believe that I agree with that because

01:17:11.300 --> 01:17:13.640
they weren't going to do it at all. They just

01:17:13.640 --> 01:17:18.039
said they don't think they're really that good.

01:17:19.079 --> 01:17:21.000
They don't think they can really do it that well

01:17:21.000 --> 01:17:24.380
anymore. So this makes sense. They're kind of

01:17:24.380 --> 01:17:26.420
spacing it apart so they can give a better show.

01:17:27.079 --> 01:17:30.039
And that's what Stevie Nicks does also. She does

01:17:30.039 --> 01:17:33.279
a concert, and then she'll schedule three, maybe

01:17:33.279 --> 01:17:36.319
four days off to let her voice recover before

01:17:36.319 --> 01:17:39.439
she'll do another show. So that's kind of what

01:17:39.439 --> 01:17:42.500
Rush is doing. And they also were building in

01:17:42.500 --> 01:17:45.739
between two to eight days of travel time between

01:17:45.739 --> 01:17:49.810
locations. Okay. So it used to be you play every

01:17:49.810 --> 01:17:51.829
night, and then you finish here and drive all

01:17:51.829 --> 01:17:53.350
night, and next night you're in the next town.

01:17:53.470 --> 01:17:56.270
No, this is a much more slow and leisurely. They

01:17:56.270 --> 01:17:58.770
don't do that anymore. Most of the bands from

01:17:58.770 --> 01:18:00.890
our area don't do that anymore. They can't. Yeah.

01:18:01.050 --> 01:18:03.170
And then after the first of the year, Rush will

01:18:03.170 --> 01:18:06.949
do the international part. They do one to three

01:18:06.949 --> 01:18:11.350
shows per venue with two to 15 days of travel

01:18:11.350 --> 01:18:13.710
time in between. So they're leaving themselves

01:18:13.710 --> 01:18:16.210
a lot of rest and downtime during this tour.

01:18:16.350 --> 01:18:18.069
You know what? I can't blame them. I can't blame

01:18:18.069 --> 01:18:20.510
you. They're old men. Yeah. I'm getting to be

01:18:20.510 --> 01:18:22.489
an old man. At least they're smart enough to

01:18:22.489 --> 01:18:25.090
realize this. The bands that don't and they embarrass

01:18:25.090 --> 01:18:27.109
themselves are the ones that, you know. Yeah.

01:18:27.149 --> 01:18:29.890
So that's great. I'm glad that they, yeah. They

01:18:29.890 --> 01:18:32.989
are definitely traveling with a full -time keyboardist

01:18:32.989 --> 01:18:34.770
who's going to take the bulk of the keyboard

01:18:34.770 --> 01:18:38.489
duties away from Geddy Lee. That's good. And

01:18:38.489 --> 01:18:42.260
there's also... I've heard it mentioned a couple

01:18:42.260 --> 01:18:43.960
of times that they're bringing along a second

01:18:43.960 --> 01:18:46.619
guitar player, too. Good. So it's going to be

01:18:46.619 --> 01:18:51.659
Rush without the drummer. Hey there, slap nuts.

01:18:51.720 --> 01:18:57.399
It's time for the Creeps Music News. Hey, my

01:18:57.399 --> 01:18:59.840
little pumpkin seeds. This is Johnny Rohypnol

01:18:59.840 --> 01:19:04.479
with your music news. Known asshole and constant

01:19:04.479 --> 01:19:09.149
complainer and social preaching. Hypocrite Neil

01:19:09.149 --> 01:19:13.970
Young has canceled all his 20 -26 tour dates,

01:19:14.189 --> 01:19:19.090
most in the U .S. still proving, if you hate

01:19:19.090 --> 01:19:25.489
America so much, stay the fuck out of it. Bye

01:19:25.489 --> 01:19:29.729
-bye, male Felicia. This is Johnny Rohypnol.

01:19:29.829 --> 01:19:33.229
That was your music news, and remember, bar chords

01:19:33.229 --> 01:19:38.840
are bullshit. And with two more extra people.

01:19:39.079 --> 01:19:42.279
Yeah, with Alex Lifeson and another guitarist,

01:19:42.279 --> 01:19:45.819
and then Geddy Lee and another synthesizer. And

01:19:45.819 --> 01:19:48.960
I get that because he plays bass also. Yeah,

01:19:49.039 --> 01:19:51.520
because at one point he had a bass around his

01:19:51.520 --> 01:19:53.800
neck, he was playing keys with his hands, playing

01:19:53.800 --> 01:19:56.720
bass pedals with his feet, and singing a song

01:19:56.720 --> 01:20:00.060
that he wrote himself. Yeah, very talented guy.

01:20:00.159 --> 01:20:05.000
Yeah. That's it for the Rush Tour. All right.

01:20:05.840 --> 01:20:08.100
Well, how long have we got? Do you want to keep

01:20:08.100 --> 01:20:12.359
going? An hour and 15. Okay. I got some song

01:20:12.359 --> 01:20:16.380
titles. Okay. Okay. These are what people consider

01:20:16.380 --> 01:20:20.560
the worst song titles ever, as in a poll that

01:20:20.560 --> 01:20:23.199
they took. Uh -huh. Okay, the first one we already

01:20:23.199 --> 01:20:24.960
mentioned not too long ago, and that's several

01:20:24.960 --> 01:20:27.479
species of small furry animals gathered together

01:20:27.479 --> 01:20:31.020
in a cave and grew them with a pit. Of course,

01:20:31.020 --> 01:20:34.079
by Pink Floyd. Yep. They consider that the worst

01:20:34.079 --> 01:20:35.920
song title ever, and I think I would probably

01:20:35.920 --> 01:20:38.699
agree with them. Probably so, yes. Next one would

01:20:38.699 --> 01:20:43.939
be Detachable Penis by King Missile. Oh, that

01:20:43.939 --> 01:20:46.619
makes sense. Kind of reminds me of a Tool song

01:20:46.619 --> 01:20:49.899
called Hooker with a Penis. Oh, yeah, yeah, I

01:20:49.899 --> 01:20:51.899
forgot about that song. It's not a bad song,

01:20:52.039 --> 01:20:53.659
but once you hear it, it sticks in your head

01:20:53.659 --> 01:20:55.500
for way too long. It does, yeah, like a lot of

01:20:55.500 --> 01:20:58.939
Tool songs. Shoot, yeah, like Stink Fist, that

01:20:58.939 --> 01:21:08.079
whole album, fuck. Just the name. I sit on acid.

01:21:08.920 --> 01:21:13.020
Lords of acid. That's a little weird. This next

01:21:13.020 --> 01:21:16.399
one. I've never been to the mechanical courts.

01:21:16.579 --> 01:21:22.319
They have a song called I Come Blood. I think

01:21:22.319 --> 01:21:24.399
there's something wrong if that's what's happening.

01:21:24.520 --> 01:21:26.479
I think they better go see a doctor immediately.

01:21:29.350 --> 01:21:31.850
And I've never been a Cannibal Corpse fan. I

01:21:31.850 --> 01:21:33.310
might have heard their music one time and said,

01:21:33.369 --> 01:21:36.590
that's not for me. Yeah, no. All right. You know,

01:21:36.590 --> 01:21:38.890
they've got a following, and they fill a niche,

01:21:39.109 --> 01:21:42.069
but not everything is for everybody, and that's

01:21:42.069 --> 01:21:43.329
the way it's supposed to be. If you like going

01:21:43.329 --> 01:21:45.670
to clubs with 20 people, there you go. Cannibal

01:21:45.670 --> 01:21:50.409
Corpse is your guys. How about Yellow Leadbetter?

01:21:51.369 --> 01:21:53.750
I remember that song. And still no one knows

01:21:53.750 --> 01:21:55.949
what it's about, Pearl Jam. No one knows. They

01:21:55.949 --> 01:21:59.289
never gave an explanation for the song. For the

01:21:59.289 --> 01:22:00.890
one I'm thinking about, it's pretty awful, too.

01:22:00.970 --> 01:22:04.069
He's, like, super pitchy. Yes. He can't hold

01:22:04.069 --> 01:22:06.270
a note for more than half a second. The best

01:22:06.270 --> 01:22:08.430
part of it is the guitar. Yeah. And that's it.

01:22:08.569 --> 01:22:15.010
And it's really slowish. Yeah. Yeah. It's like,

01:22:15.189 --> 01:22:19.909
do you remember the song River of Deceit? Yeah.

01:22:20.029 --> 01:22:22.710
Lane Staley and somebody else. I forget the name

01:22:22.710 --> 01:22:24.590
of the band. But the guitar playing in that is

01:22:24.590 --> 01:22:28.210
just so beautiful. The song is kind of sad and

01:22:28.210 --> 01:22:30.329
depressing, but the guitar playing is just gorgeous.

01:22:30.750 --> 01:22:34.869
Yeah. Well, I've got a list of misheard song

01:22:34.869 --> 01:22:37.210
lyrics from the 1970s. You want to check out

01:22:37.210 --> 01:22:45.069
those? Yeah. Or get more? Yeah, we can go to

01:22:45.069 --> 01:22:49.760
that. All right, I got a list of misheard lyrics

01:22:49.760 --> 01:22:53.600
from songs of the 70s. Now, I should preface

01:22:53.600 --> 01:22:56.359
this by saying back in the 70s, it was all about

01:22:56.359 --> 01:22:59.279
the beer and the weed. So, mishearing rock lyrics

01:22:59.279 --> 01:23:01.159
was probably happening a lot more often back

01:23:01.159 --> 01:23:04.100
then. Plus, people wanted to mishear them. You

01:23:04.100 --> 01:23:05.319
know, people wanted to hear what they wanted

01:23:05.319 --> 01:23:08.260
to hear. Oh, yeah, yeah. Usually, excuse me while

01:23:08.260 --> 01:23:12.680
I kiss the sky. Yeah. Instead of sky. Yep. Yeah,

01:23:12.779 --> 01:23:16.300
and they did that. I wouldn't doubt if that came

01:23:16.300 --> 01:23:18.939
from the Hendrix camp just to make people talk.

01:23:19.140 --> 01:23:23.100
Yep, it is. Not a bad idea. No. Okay, the first

01:23:23.100 --> 01:23:27.159
on my list is the Aerosmith song, Dream On. It

01:23:27.159 --> 01:23:29.739
has in the chorus, he says, sing women, sing

01:23:29.739 --> 01:23:31.920
for the year, sing for the laughter, and sing

01:23:31.920 --> 01:23:34.399
for the tear. Yeah, but people think it's volunteer.

01:23:35.119 --> 01:23:37.680
What a lot of people heard was sing for the centuries,

01:23:37.800 --> 01:23:42.380
sing for the beer. Oh. I never, ever heard that

01:23:42.380 --> 01:23:44.319
one ever. That was because people wanted to hear

01:23:44.319 --> 01:23:47.739
the word beer. I always heard it was volunteer,

01:23:48.020 --> 01:23:51.960
sing and volunteer. Yeah, because he stretches

01:23:51.960 --> 01:23:54.760
out. He said instead of sing for the year, he

01:23:54.760 --> 01:23:57.399
said sing for the year. Yeah. Kind of like that.

01:23:57.500 --> 01:23:59.840
And people thought it meant sing voluntarily.

01:24:00.140 --> 01:24:02.399
Yeah. And even I did. I was like, okay, I guess

01:24:02.399 --> 01:24:04.159
that's what it says. Yeah. And, you know, we

01:24:04.159 --> 01:24:05.979
tend to hear things and try to make them make

01:24:05.979 --> 01:24:08.989
sense. We do, yeah, and I connected the dots

01:24:08.989 --> 01:24:12.369
myself. Yeah. So, okay. Another one, Elton John

01:24:12.369 --> 01:24:14.949
did a song, Tiny Dancer. Yeah. Where he says,

01:24:15.050 --> 01:24:17.609
hold me closer, tiny dancer. A lot of people

01:24:17.609 --> 01:24:22.930
heard, hold me closer, Tony Danza. And people

01:24:22.930 --> 01:24:24.829
believed that. Because, you know, Elton's gay,

01:24:24.949 --> 01:24:29.310
so why not? Yeah, Tony Danza is a nice looking

01:24:29.310 --> 01:24:31.970
guy, I can see that. He took care of himself,

01:24:32.229 --> 01:24:34.569
yeah. Yeah, he talked a little odd, but yeah.

01:24:36.520 --> 01:24:40.140
Yo, babe. Yo, babe. Yeah. Steely Dan, Reeling

01:24:40.140 --> 01:24:43.539
in the Years. A lot of people heard it as Reeling

01:24:43.539 --> 01:24:47.760
in the Ears. Okay, I could see that more. Yeah.

01:24:48.260 --> 01:24:51.000
But, you know, you could look at the title and

01:24:51.000 --> 01:24:53.800
it says Reeling in the Years. So how did that

01:24:53.800 --> 01:24:57.399
become a thing? I guess they just weren't looking

01:24:57.399 --> 01:24:59.319
at it. Yeah, radio. There you go. People didn't

01:24:59.319 --> 01:25:01.899
go and buy the album soon. It's like, oh, okay.

01:25:03.490 --> 01:25:09.270
Ringing in the ears. It makes sense. Queen, We

01:25:09.270 --> 01:25:12.789
Will Rock You, where he's got the line, you got

01:25:12.789 --> 01:25:14.970
blood on your face, big disgrace, kicking your

01:25:14.970 --> 01:25:17.590
can all over the place. A lot of people thought

01:25:17.590 --> 01:25:20.489
it was kicking your cat all over the place. How

01:25:20.489 --> 01:25:22.430
the hell did they get that? And they called in

01:25:22.430 --> 01:25:26.390
and protested because the song was cruelty to

01:25:26.390 --> 01:25:28.529
animals. And they're like, no, no, no, no, that's

01:25:28.529 --> 01:25:30.920
not what he's saying. It's not cat. It's Cam.

01:25:32.340 --> 01:25:34.220
But so many people thought he was talking about

01:25:34.220 --> 01:25:37.939
kicking your cat. Oh, my God. I don't want to

01:25:37.939 --> 01:25:39.600
hear somebody on the radio singing about kicking

01:25:39.600 --> 01:25:42.859
a cat. So you've got to figure that's not what

01:25:42.859 --> 01:25:47.399
he's saying. Oh, man. That was fun. Anyway, Fleetwood

01:25:47.399 --> 01:25:50.859
Mac, Go Your Own Way. Now, these are Fleetwood

01:25:50.859 --> 01:25:54.340
Mac fans. A lot of them heard instead, Grow Your

01:25:54.340 --> 01:25:59.810
Own Weed. You can grow your own weed. I don't

01:25:59.810 --> 01:26:02.510
get that. I think that was a big case of wishful

01:26:02.510 --> 01:26:05.970
thinking. I think so, too. There is no way that

01:26:05.970 --> 01:26:10.229
sounds like weed. No, there's no. Okay. The Eagles

01:26:10.229 --> 01:26:13.170
Hotel, California. Right in the beginning where

01:26:13.170 --> 01:26:16.250
they say, on a dark desert highway, cool whip

01:26:16.250 --> 01:26:19.510
in my hair. I mean, cool wind in my hair. I thought

01:26:19.510 --> 01:26:22.550
it was cool whip in my hair. And then he says

01:26:22.550 --> 01:26:25.430
warm smell of colitas rising up in the air. Yeah,

01:26:25.430 --> 01:26:29.770
which is the bud of a marijuana plant. Yep, it

01:26:29.770 --> 01:26:33.609
is. Colitas means little tails, often referring

01:26:33.609 --> 01:26:36.149
to the buds on a marijuana plant. And it also

01:26:36.149 --> 01:26:39.550
refers to smoking weed. But a lot of people heard

01:26:39.550 --> 01:26:44.289
warm smell of fajitas rising up in the air. Okay,

01:26:44.390 --> 01:26:46.310
number one, that's stupid, but I do think that

01:26:46.310 --> 01:26:49.310
is. I could see that. Yeah, I was trying to see

01:26:49.310 --> 01:26:51.890
that. Okay, so they like Mexican food. I get

01:26:51.890 --> 01:26:59.710
it. Steve Miller, the Joker. He's got the line,

01:26:59.850 --> 01:27:03.569
because I speak of the pompatus of love. Yeah.

01:27:04.689 --> 01:27:07.250
Pompatus is a completely made -up word. People

01:27:07.250 --> 01:27:09.649
thought he was saying pompous, promise, properties.

01:27:10.600 --> 01:27:13.260
No, he was making up a totally made up word.

01:27:13.260 --> 01:27:15.420
I always wondered about that word. I thought

01:27:15.420 --> 01:27:18.119
it had to have been a real word. He said his

01:27:18.119 --> 01:27:21.579
inspiration came from a song, The Letter, by

01:27:21.579 --> 01:27:24.220
the Medallions, an old doo -wop group. And the

01:27:24.220 --> 01:27:26.760
singer had ad -libbed the word puppet toots.

01:27:27.539 --> 01:27:30.239
And he took puppet toots and changed it to pompatus.

01:27:30.779 --> 01:27:34.100
Puppet toots. I didn't know puppets could fart.

01:27:34.279 --> 01:27:36.699
I didn't either. So that's where it came from.

01:27:36.779 --> 01:27:41.659
Well, it would stand to reason. I mean, I don't

01:27:41.659 --> 01:27:43.760
begrudge them for farting. That's a normal function.

01:27:43.859 --> 01:27:46.539
They probably have an odd diet. Yeah, what do

01:27:46.539 --> 01:27:50.000
puppets eat? Sawdust, maybe? I think so. Pencil

01:27:50.000 --> 01:27:53.600
shavings, I think. Which we have some. I mean,

01:27:53.659 --> 01:27:55.319
if you write in enough, we'll give you the pencil

01:27:55.319 --> 01:27:58.399
shavings. And the new guy, evidently he doesn't

01:27:58.399 --> 01:28:00.199
like pencil shavings. He's been gone a little

01:28:00.199 --> 01:28:03.399
while. I think he's coming back this next episode,

01:28:03.539 --> 01:28:12.430
the new guy. He's a dick. There's an old joke

01:28:12.430 --> 01:28:15.109
about a guy in the army whose sergeant tells

01:28:15.109 --> 01:28:18.130
him to go make some coffee. So the first thing

01:28:18.130 --> 01:28:20.130
he does is grab a bunch of pencils and starts

01:28:20.130 --> 01:28:22.109
sharpening the pencils. And the sergeant comes

01:28:22.109 --> 01:28:23.489
back and says, hey, I thought you told you to

01:28:23.489 --> 01:28:25.289
make some coffee. And he said, what do you think

01:28:25.289 --> 01:28:34.989
the pencil shavings are for? That's pretty good.

01:28:35.390 --> 01:28:41.130
I like that. Army coffee. Army coffee, yep. Man,

01:28:41.250 --> 01:28:43.850
did you see that? Man, look at that burger from

01:28:43.850 --> 01:28:46.029
Riverhouse. Oh, my gosh, look at that thing.

01:28:46.170 --> 01:28:48.970
It's big. Yeah, man, what kind of cheese is that

01:28:48.970 --> 01:28:52.430
melted on it? Gosh. No, it's not Pepper Jack.

01:28:52.689 --> 01:28:55.930
It looks like cheddar and maybe something else.

01:28:56.970 --> 01:28:59.550
Colby Jack? Maybe, possibly. Yeah. Oh, my God.

01:28:59.689 --> 01:29:03.050
Smell that. I'm telling you, River House is a

01:29:03.050 --> 01:29:07.789
place to be. This, man. Oh, oh, oh, what is that?

01:29:07.829 --> 01:29:10.069
Is that barbecue? I think it is. Well, yeah,

01:29:10.109 --> 01:29:12.050
they got that smoker downstairs. Yeah, that's

01:29:12.050 --> 01:29:14.609
true. And they also, what is that, Oyster's Rockefeller?

01:29:15.020 --> 01:29:17.319
I believe it is. Oh, man, this place is awesome.

01:29:17.500 --> 01:29:19.760
It is. Really cool. Anyhow, I'm sorry. I smelt

01:29:19.760 --> 01:29:23.880
the food and I got distracted. Yeah. Where am

01:29:23.880 --> 01:29:25.939
I? Oh, yeah, Queen. Another one from Queen from

01:29:25.939 --> 01:29:28.520
the song Bohemian Rhapsody or the Cowboy song,

01:29:28.640 --> 01:29:33.659
as it was almost blessed. Still okay. He's got

01:29:33.659 --> 01:29:36.100
in that section in the middle where he's doing

01:29:36.100 --> 01:29:38.979
all the vocal stuff, he says, spare him his life

01:29:38.979 --> 01:29:42.149
from this monstrosity. Yes. People thought it

01:29:42.149 --> 01:29:44.229
was spare him his life from this warm sausage

01:29:44.229 --> 01:29:49.670
tea. Well, there's a lot of jokes and innuendos

01:29:49.670 --> 01:29:52.029
that could be put in there. Yeah, especially

01:29:52.029 --> 01:29:54.729
considering what the sausage was and why it was

01:29:54.729 --> 01:29:57.909
warm tea coming out of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:29:58.270 --> 01:30:01.750
But it was spare him his life from this momstrosity.

01:30:02.130 --> 01:30:04.789
Okay. All right. You know, no, I don't believe

01:30:04.789 --> 01:30:09.310
that. It was sausage tea. No, go ahead. ACDC,

01:30:09.510 --> 01:30:12.720
Highway to Hell. There's the verse, no stop sign,

01:30:12.899 --> 01:30:15.420
speed limit, season ticket on a one -way ride.

01:30:15.659 --> 01:30:17.880
Oh, I know what a lot of people thought it said.

01:30:18.100 --> 01:30:20.399
I'm not going to say it. A lot of people thought

01:30:20.399 --> 01:30:24.100
he was saying shitting on a railway line. That's

01:30:24.100 --> 01:30:25.199
not the one I was thinking of. Instead of season

01:30:25.199 --> 01:30:27.079
ticket on a one -way ride, it was shitting on

01:30:27.079 --> 01:30:29.380
a railway line. Well, there's another one that

01:30:29.380 --> 01:30:32.079
people think it says, too. What's that? I don't

01:30:32.079 --> 01:30:33.840
want to say it on the podcast. Okay, let me hit

01:30:33.840 --> 01:30:36.289
the pause button. Yeah, go ahead. Wow, I can

01:30:36.289 --> 01:30:37.710
see why you didn't want to say that one on the

01:30:37.710 --> 01:30:39.390
air. And it does sound like it. It does sound

01:30:39.390 --> 01:30:44.409
like it. Yikes. And I'm like going, I'm certain

01:30:44.409 --> 01:30:46.710
it doesn't say that. I'm certain it does not

01:30:46.710 --> 01:30:50.930
say that. And then finally we had Manfred Mann's

01:30:50.930 --> 01:30:54.869
Earth Band. The song Blinded by the Light. Originally

01:30:54.869 --> 01:30:58.850
written by comrade Bruce Springsteen. And the

01:30:58.850 --> 01:31:01.630
original line was cut loose like a deuce, another

01:31:01.630 --> 01:31:05.500
runner in the night. Yeah. Manfred Mann switched

01:31:05.500 --> 01:31:09.319
it to revved up like a deuce, another rumor in

01:31:09.319 --> 01:31:12.439
the night. But the way he slurred it together

01:31:12.439 --> 01:31:14.939
sounded like wrapped up like a deuce. Everybody

01:31:14.939 --> 01:31:16.920
thinks it says that. Everyone thinks it's wrapped

01:31:16.920 --> 01:31:19.960
up like a deuce, but he swears to this day that

01:31:19.960 --> 01:31:25.260
he said revved up like a deuce. Okay. Yeah, if

01:31:25.260 --> 01:31:30.119
he says so. Yeah. Interesting. Interesting. All

01:31:30.119 --> 01:31:32.180
right. Did you have another one you wanted to

01:31:32.180 --> 01:31:38.199
get to? Nothing very short. Okay, well, I could

01:31:38.199 --> 01:31:40.939
do the rest of the bad song titles as voted.

01:31:41.039 --> 01:31:43.739
Oh, yeah, excellent. Okay, I think we stopped

01:31:43.739 --> 01:31:47.920
off at Yellow Leadbetter. Oh, yeah. Still no

01:31:47.920 --> 01:31:50.180
one knows what it meant. They'll never explain

01:31:50.180 --> 01:31:52.539
it, and I think they kind of like doing that.

01:31:52.579 --> 01:31:54.720
A little mystery to it. I'm pretty sure at this

01:31:54.720 --> 01:31:56.560
point no one gives a damn anymore. But we all

01:31:56.560 --> 01:32:00.159
agree it's a horrible song. Oh, yes. Album filler.

01:32:00.729 --> 01:32:03.590
Yeah, album filler, yes. The next one would be

01:32:03.590 --> 01:32:08.409
the Electric Six, the song Gay Bar. Oh. I've

01:32:08.409 --> 01:32:13.449
heard it. It's a gimmick song. Yeah. Something

01:32:13.449 --> 01:32:15.529
like, I want to take you to a gay bar. And it's

01:32:15.529 --> 01:32:19.510
just really nothing. It's a horrible song, really.

01:32:19.550 --> 01:32:21.670
They were inspired by Katy Perry's I Kissed a

01:32:21.670 --> 01:32:23.390
Girl, and they decided, hey, let's do one about

01:32:23.390 --> 01:32:25.529
a gay bar. It's probably the other way around,

01:32:25.590 --> 01:32:27.789
because this came by a long time ago, but still.

01:32:27.949 --> 01:32:31.729
All right. But anyhow. The next one, Bloodhound

01:32:31.729 --> 01:32:35.829
Gang, had a song called The Bad Touch. Ooh. Not

01:32:35.829 --> 01:32:38.670
a good touch. Bad touch. Bad touch. Bad touch,

01:32:38.689 --> 01:32:41.449
yeah. It's like, here's the doll. Now, where

01:32:41.449 --> 01:32:43.970
did he touch you? Where did the Scoutmaster touch

01:32:43.970 --> 01:32:48.460
you, allegedly? Yay! Where did the priest allegedly

01:32:48.460 --> 01:32:52.060
touch you? We didn't say Catholic priest. No,

01:32:52.060 --> 01:32:53.659
no. There are other kinds of priests out there.

01:32:53.760 --> 01:32:56.640
Yeah, so all you Catholics back off. Yes. They

01:32:56.640 --> 01:32:59.619
have been after us. And not only that, we're

01:32:59.619 --> 01:33:02.359
a podcast. Yeah. If they said, you know what

01:33:02.359 --> 01:33:04.619
I do to emails like that? I don't even print

01:33:04.619 --> 01:33:07.039
them out. I crumple them up mentally and then

01:33:07.039 --> 01:33:08.899
delete them. It's like we're not broadcasting,

01:33:09.119 --> 01:33:13.399
so different rules apply. Yes. Yep. As of right

01:33:13.399 --> 01:33:17.060
now, who knows in the future. All right. Tenacious

01:33:17.060 --> 01:33:22.340
D, how about Fuck Her Gently? Which is a funny

01:33:22.340 --> 01:33:25.260
song. Pretty bad title, though. Oh, it's horrible.

01:33:26.340 --> 01:33:28.859
Jack Black meant it like that. He was like, I'm

01:33:28.859 --> 01:33:31.800
going to be so abrasive and so stiff that people

01:33:31.800 --> 01:33:34.180
are going to run the other way. And he didn't.

01:33:34.300 --> 01:33:37.239
There's a song by Monster Magnet called Mindfucker.

01:33:37.680 --> 01:33:39.340
Yeah, I love that song. In fact, they named the

01:33:39.340 --> 01:33:41.399
whole album Mindfucker. Mindfucker, yep. And

01:33:41.399 --> 01:33:43.500
it's so funny to see a label on the front saying,

01:33:43.600 --> 01:33:46.460
this album contains explicit lyrics. It's like,

01:33:46.520 --> 01:33:49.600
you think? The title is Mindfucker. It's printed

01:33:49.600 --> 01:33:51.159
right there on the front. I'm so glad you told

01:33:51.159 --> 01:33:54.899
me that. I had no idea. It's right there in big

01:33:54.899 --> 01:33:56.680
print. I could have played that for my mom and

01:33:56.680 --> 01:34:02.460
children. Okay. All right. Next one is, what's

01:34:02.460 --> 01:34:06.550
new, pussycat? That was awful. The whole song

01:34:06.550 --> 01:34:08.949
was bad. Yeah, and it says on here as a joke,

01:34:09.069 --> 01:34:11.970
play it multiple times. Yeah. No, thank you.

01:34:12.090 --> 01:34:15.050
Yeah. I would have to use my April's bullet in

01:34:15.050 --> 01:34:17.729
the head instead. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And I know

01:34:17.729 --> 01:34:19.250
it doesn't even pertain to this, but I'm using

01:34:19.250 --> 01:34:22.670
it anyhow. Yeah. All right. How about tiptoe

01:34:22.670 --> 01:34:26.310
through the tulips? Oh, yeah. Tiny Tim, the weirdest

01:34:26.310 --> 01:34:28.329
motherfucker ever to live, or one of them. No

01:34:28.329 --> 01:34:31.729
kidding. He was an oddball. And the song was

01:34:31.729 --> 01:34:34.470
just stupid. He wasn't entertaining at all. He

01:34:34.470 --> 01:34:38.069
was weird. He was stupid. I never got his whole

01:34:38.069 --> 01:34:40.250
thing. It was like watching a slow motion train

01:34:40.250 --> 01:34:42.970
wreck. I was like, I kind of want to watch, but

01:34:42.970 --> 01:34:45.270
this isn't any fun. To me, it was like celebrating

01:34:45.270 --> 01:34:48.470
somebody with mental illness. Like, hey, he's

01:34:48.470 --> 01:34:50.229
doing something really stupid that no one can

01:34:50.229 --> 01:34:53.649
understand. Yay! Later in life, in an interview,

01:34:53.750 --> 01:34:56.479
he said that he doesn't wear... conventional

01:34:56.479 --> 01:35:00.140
underwear. He only wears adult diapers. I like

01:35:00.140 --> 01:35:02.739
the idea that it's completely sterile and sanitary

01:35:02.739 --> 01:35:06.180
when I put it on. I don't use them. I just wear

01:35:06.180 --> 01:35:09.039
them as underwear and then throw them away. Why

01:35:09.039 --> 01:35:12.819
the hell do we want to know this? I was surprised

01:35:12.819 --> 01:35:15.899
that that... particular moment in the interview

01:35:15.899 --> 01:35:18.520
made it anywhere yeah that was like one of those

01:35:18.520 --> 01:35:20.720
ones like okay we got to edit some of this out

01:35:20.720 --> 01:35:23.779
we're going to start with that yeah so and then

01:35:23.779 --> 01:35:25.479
finally and i think everybody knows this you

01:35:25.479 --> 01:35:27.279
remember barnes and barnes the gimmick group

01:35:27.279 --> 01:35:32.659
oh yeah fish heads as is as heard on dr demento

01:35:32.659 --> 01:35:35.699
roly -poly fish heads yeah fish heads fish heads

01:35:35.699 --> 01:35:38.500
roly -poly fish heads actually i love barnes

01:35:38.500 --> 01:35:41.239
and barnes they did a lot of unique stuff and

01:35:41.239 --> 01:35:44.949
actually they were pretty much broken Into famedom

01:35:44.949 --> 01:35:50.670
by Dr. Demento. Yeah, he was. That's where weird

01:35:50.670 --> 01:35:54.189
Al Yankovic got his start. Yeah, he did. Dr.

01:35:54.489 --> 01:35:58.470
Demento broke so many people. Actually, I don't

01:35:58.470 --> 01:36:00.170
know if he broke Barnes & Barnes. I think they

01:36:00.170 --> 01:36:01.750
were already big when he started playing them.

01:36:01.949 --> 01:36:04.130
I'm not for sure. I can't remember. I don't know.

01:36:04.170 --> 01:36:07.510
Oh, well. One thing I wanted to mention, I wanted

01:36:07.510 --> 01:36:10.229
to give everyone some homework, you included.

01:36:10.619 --> 01:36:15.060
is find the song Imaginary Lover by the Atlanta

01:36:15.060 --> 01:36:17.939
Rhythm Section. Okay. And you can find it on

01:36:17.939 --> 01:36:19.640
YouTube. It's all over the place. But listen

01:36:19.640 --> 01:36:24.060
to the version that is played too fast. Because

01:36:24.060 --> 01:36:27.340
what had happened is the band had sent out the

01:36:27.340 --> 01:36:30.180
single to a bunch of radio stations, but it was

01:36:30.180 --> 01:36:34.260
recorded in album speed, 33 and a third. And

01:36:34.260 --> 01:36:37.819
the radio station played it at 45 RPM. So it

01:36:37.819 --> 01:36:42.720
was like, what up? About a 30 % increase in speed.

01:36:43.340 --> 01:36:47.640
Something like that. Yeah. It sounds exactly

01:36:47.640 --> 01:36:51.479
like Fleetwood Mac. And the vocals sound exactly

01:36:51.479 --> 01:36:55.460
like Stevie Nicks. And this is when it's sped

01:36:55.460 --> 01:36:58.479
up to 45. To 45, not 30. Yeah, the sped up version

01:36:58.479 --> 01:37:02.500
of Imaginary Lover. sounds exactly like Stevie

01:37:02.500 --> 01:37:04.659
Nicks. And everyone thought it was Fleetwood

01:37:04.659 --> 01:37:07.939
Mac when he played it. A 45 record back in the

01:37:07.939 --> 01:37:10.199
day was sped up. That's why they called it a

01:37:10.199 --> 01:37:13.199
45 instead of a 33. Yeah, it went faster. So

01:37:13.199 --> 01:37:15.619
yeah, just go out and find the YouTube version

01:37:15.619 --> 01:37:19.619
of Imaginary Lover at the faster speed and listen

01:37:19.619 --> 01:37:22.100
to how much it sounds like Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood

01:37:22.100 --> 01:37:26.060
Mac. It's just nuts. I will. Someone told me,

01:37:26.100 --> 01:37:28.000
it's like, oh yeah. And I listened, it's like,

01:37:28.100 --> 01:37:30.909
oh my God, this would have fooled me. It absolutely

01:37:30.909 --> 01:37:31.949
would have fooled me. Well, if it's coming from

01:37:31.949 --> 01:37:33.770
you, I have no doubt that's what's going on.

01:37:33.810 --> 01:37:35.890
If someone else that I questionable told me,

01:37:35.930 --> 01:37:38.149
I'd be like, okay, probably has a resemblance,

01:37:38.229 --> 01:37:40.250
but you saying that means that, yeah, I'm going

01:37:40.250 --> 01:37:42.590
to listen to it. We'll listen to it on the way

01:37:42.590 --> 01:37:46.069
home. Okay, that sounds good. It's so surprising.

01:37:46.390 --> 01:37:48.670
Okay. All righty, I guess we're going to wrap

01:37:48.670 --> 01:37:51.270
this shit show up, guys. Yes, indeed. All right.

01:37:51.420 --> 01:37:53.739
Thank you all for joining us. Like I said before

01:37:53.739 --> 01:37:56.939
on the last one, you know what? Usually they

01:37:56.939 --> 01:37:59.060
get jumbled around by the time they're released

01:37:59.060 --> 01:38:01.859
anyhow. So whenever you hear this, thank you

01:38:01.859 --> 01:38:03.779
very much for listening. We're doing very well

01:38:03.779 --> 01:38:05.899
because of you, and go fuck yourself.
