00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:39,040

00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,520

34

Speaker 3: souls are all the same. You gotta go where everybody

46
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 3: knows your name. So there we go. I will stay

47
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 3: loyal to my son. I will be all watching hockey tonight.

48
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 3: It's a playoff. Tell me it's I guess a girls

49
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 3: hockey right, Yeah, it's playoff time in girls hockey, so

50
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 3: that we'll be doing that tonight. So that's what I

51
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 3: will watch.

52
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: Who you said the wild ape tonight in Nashville then Nashville.

53
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, creditors, good tannaby h.

54
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: They're mediocre, middle of the road. They're not bad.

55
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: They're fighting to get into the playoffs, so they're kind

56
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: of hanging around, just hanging around. It'd be nice if

57
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: they could not be as close to the playoffs and

58
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: then come trade deadline, we could go get Ryan O'Reilly.

59
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 2: And put them on our team.

60
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: So maybe we could help help them with that and

61
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: separate them and put them but two points down.

62
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: I already know the excuse if they lose tonight, what

63
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: is it?

64
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: Because people are already setting up with the well, is

65
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: it weird when we have all these guys that are

66
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: going to the Olympics, So this is the last game

67
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: before the Olympics, so a bunch of them are heading

68
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: out to Italy after this game tonight. And the Wild

69
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: have eight players, which is one of the highest in

70
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: the entire league for and that's without even Jonas Brodein

71
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 1: playing and Coroka pri Staff can't play for Russia, so

72
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: they could have up to ten. Okay, but the excuse

73
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: is going to be well, they they are already thinking

74
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: about the Olympic break and they've already moved on.

75
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 2: They've kind of checked out.

76
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 3: We love excuse competing, got it?

77
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 2: You know that's common if they lose tonight.

78
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 3: So now the fall guy's the entire Olympic Games.

79
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 2: I like that.

80
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 3: It's a great fall guy. Question number two, and now

81
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 3: it's time to go in the trenches.

82
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Donald is the betting favorite to

83
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: win the Big Game MVP at plus one fifteen odds.

84
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: Drake May is next at plus two thirty. Jackson Smith

85
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: and Jigba is third at plus five point fifty. Kenneth

86
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: Walker fourth at plus eight to fifty from Andre Stevenson

87
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: fifth at plus three thousand, and then Rashid Shaheed and

88
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs are tied for sixth at plus forty five

89
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: hundred common. Will Sam Donald be the Big Game MVP

90
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: on Sunday?

91
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 2: Well more?

92
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 3: The more important question is where did Seattle find a

93
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 3: guy like that? I mean, because if every team searches

94
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 3: for franchise quarterback, that's what that, you know, the most

95
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 3: important position all of sports, quarterback, and we just can

96
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 3: never find one. We just have not been able to

97
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 3: find one since fran Tarkenton and Seattle they've had two, right,

98
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 3: because Russ Wilson was a franchise quarterback. He won a

99
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 3: big game. He's not going to go down as one

100
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 3: of the greatest of all time. But did he not

101
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 3: win a big game? He did, And now they have

102
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 3: another guy that's got his team in the Big Game.

103
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 3: Where did they find Why can we never get guys

104
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 3: like Sam Darnold? I don't know. I think he will

105
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 3: win the MVP. I do that, and partly because I do.

106
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 3: You know, both teams have really talented offense, really talented defense,

107
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: especially things a whole thing. But I just I think

108
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 3: I like Seattle's defense tad bit better than I like

109
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 3: New England's. And I think that, and I think Sam

110
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 3: is going to play well. I do.

111
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: I I like his wide receivers a tad bit more

112
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: to the new England's right.

113
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 3: And here's what else I think too. I think I

114
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 3: think this season, and especially now that he said success

115
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 3: in the postseason, I think, now this could make a

116
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 3: guy get careless too. I was gonna say, Sam probably

117
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 3: just out there. He's probably exuding confidence. He probably feels

118
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 3: really good about where he's been, where he's going, and

119
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 3: where he's at, and so maybe he'll just go out

120
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 3: there Lucy Goosey and start winging it around. But sometimes

121
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 3: that can be dangerous too, Right, you start thinking I

122
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 3: am pretty good watch this, and you start trying to

123
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 3: fit balls into places that you really can't fit him into.

124
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 3: Hopefully he won't be tempted by that fate. And yeah,

125
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 3: I do think Seattle will win. And again, unless it's

126
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 3: one of those defensive battles where you have a defensive

127
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 3: back with you know, two interceptions, four tackles for loss

128
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 3: in a sack and you got to give it to

129
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 3: a defensive guy, which doesn't happen often. Or who's the

130
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 3: running back for Seattle, Kenneth Walker. Yeah, if Kenneth Walker

131
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 3: has another game where he runs for like two ten,

132
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 3: well then you got to give it to him, but

133
00:07:58,400 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 3: I think Sam will win it. I do. I think

134
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 3: they'll win the game, and I think Sam Darnold will

135
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 3: be the the MVP of the game.

136
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 2: Hold on, go play this first.

137
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:14,679
Speaker 3: Question number three, all Vikings, Let's win this game.

138
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 5: It's now time to take an in depth look at

139
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 5: the state of the school.

140
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: Alec Lewis of The Athletic ranked eight Vikings positional needs

141
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: for the NFL Draft from biggest the smallest. For biggest need,

142
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: he has cornerback at number one, interior defensive line at

143
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: number two, safety at three, tackle at four, edge rusher

144
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: at five, center at six, running back at seven, and

145
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: tight end at number eight.

146
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 2: Common.

147
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: Do you agree with alec Lewis's eight Vikings positional needs rankings?

148
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 3: Just read them real fast, from top to bottom.

149
00:08:53,200 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: Cornerback, interior defensive line, safety, tackle, edge rusher, center, running back,

150
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: tight end.

151
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think we need help in all those positions.

152
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 3: I really truly do. I don't know if one is more.

153
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 5: Is more?

154
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 3: Uh? What's the word I'm looking for? Is more necessary

155
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 3: than another?

156
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: You know?

157
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 3: If it's more, if there's a more needy Yeah, is

158
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 3: there a more pressing need at cornerback than there is

159
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 3: at center. But I have there's the reason cliches are

160
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 3: cliches because they're generally true. And I've always felt that

161
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 3: games are one in the trenches, and uh, you just

162
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 3: can't have too many quality offensive and defensive linemen. And

163
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 3: uh that also means backups too. You know. The there

164
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 3: was the quote we read yesterday or the day before

165
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 3: from O'Connell when I think it was Alec Lewis or

166
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 3: maybe no it was Mark Craig had asked O'Connell, you know,

167
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 3: what's what's the one thing you know that's that a

168
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 3: team needs to be to be a super to be

169
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl contender, And I you know, O'Connell said

170
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 3: something the effect of, you need depth, in real depth,

171
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 3: not just guys you know you plucked off. Well, he's

172
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 3: our backup guys that have been with the team, been

173
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 3: with the system, and such like that. And so I

174
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 3: just think getting guys on the line is just imperative.

175
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 3: It's what helped Philadelphia get to big games and win recently.

176
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 3: It's what helped Detroit win fourteen games one year and

177
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 3: fifteen the next. In their offensive line now was decimated.

178
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 3: They have nobody coming back except for recent editions, which

179
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 3: are just some draft picks that have just been a

180
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 3: eyed You got to have them on the line. That's

181
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 3: another reason why Chicago played so well because a creative

182
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 3: offensive play caller, the guy who I think is going

183
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 3: to be, if not already, the best quarterback in pro football,

184
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 3: Okay Williams. And then they went out and they also

185
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 3: needed to rebuild their offensive line, and they did a

186
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 3: really good job doing it. So that's where I think

187
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 3: is I would be in the draft. I'm looking at

188
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 3: offensive lineman and defensive lineman first and foremost. How about you, Oh.

189
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: You want to go through the same thing I'm going

190
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: to say for the next three months, And I've already

191
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: said it five times. And I was reminded of again

192
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: of the day when I saw Paul Charci in tweet

193
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: two hours ago because he was quote queting someone else

194
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: who was giving a nice Jordan Mason related stat and

195
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: then Chart said, I'm one of the few people who

196
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,359
Speaker 1: think the Vikings don't need to prioritize running.

197
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 2: Back this sofseason.

198
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: But I was also the guy who thought Jordan Mason

199
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: was sitting on a ten touchdown twenty twenty five season.

200
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: And we always hear this word around draft time. Prioritize

201
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: the Vikings have so many needs. Do not prioritize a position,

202
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: find a game break just find a good player.

203
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 3: I don't.

204
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: If the best player available is a game breaking running back,

205
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: then take them. You got to just start finding stars,

206
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: right like even the yes yesterday when I was taking

207
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: so much crap from my top ten power rankings in town,

208
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 1: and I only had won Viking on the list, and

209
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: that was Justin Jefferson. Tell me who's the second best

210
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: player after Justin.

211
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 3: Jefferson, Our place kicker, maybe our punter.

212
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 1: Exactly, we don't have a second best player because we

213
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: don't have stars, So stop trying to pick and choose.

214
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: So we need a cornerback, so we got to take

215
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: a cornerbacker. No, if there's not a game breaking cornerback,

216
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: but there is a game breaking running back. Even though

217
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: you might need cornerback more than running back, go get

218
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: the game breaking running back.

219
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 3: You and I differ a little bit on that. I mean,

220
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 3: you know, overall, all things being equal, that's what I say.

221
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 3: But because I like offensive and defensive line so much

222
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 3: that if I've got the top rank running back, when

223
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 3: it comes to my pick, Unlet's bike. He's already eighteen.

224
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 3: Let's say they don't move. But I got the fifth

225
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 3: best offensive lineman. I might go fifth best offensive lineman.

226
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: Because I just think you need That's where I know

227
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: this is an extreme example here in a little bit

228
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: apples Oranges, But in the first round of you could

229
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: have a Jamiir Gibbs at a pick or a Donovan

230
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: Jackson at a pick. Right, like Donovan Jackson's a look

231
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 1: appears to be a little bit more replaceable than a

232
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: Jamiir Gibbs. That's kind of my point. No, you're right,

233
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: You're right, depends on how big the gap is.

234
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that is if there is a big gap. Yeah,

235
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 3: And that's it for today's edition of five questions, Well

236
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 3: actually three questions, but five sounds like more than four.

237
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 3: My favorite segment of the week a double a double segment.

238

259
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 5: In fact, it's actually going quite well a little over

00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 5: six years now, I've been doing thank You, Thank You.

261
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 5: Last six years, I've been doing a podcast called the

262
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 5: Brian Oaks Show. Again a very clever title. But when

263
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 5: I was out of radio, I thought, well I want

264
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 5: people to be able to find me, so that's what

265
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 5: we went with. But yeah, we just did episode five

270
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 5: it take to get you into a twenty eight hour show?

271
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 3: A right, twenty seven and a half less hours?

272
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 2: Okay, exactly, I would need a bed.

273
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:21,600

Speaker 3: Thank you very much. I'm happy. Some people are always

294
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 3: disappointed with whether I'm just going to be recognized.

295
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 5: Same like, I don't expect to win that award for

296
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 5: the podcast, but I'm more than happy to be nominated.

297
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 5: It means that at least a handful of people are listening,

298
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 5: and I like that. Sure, Oh here we go.

299

Speaker 3: What did he do? What is it.

302
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 2: Drinking?

303
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 3: What kind of wine was it?

304
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: Ah?

305
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:49,880

306
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 3: band called Three Dog Night right, And he passed away

307
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 3: the other day at the age of eighty three. And

308
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 3: you know what I will tell you. I was a

309
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 3: I mean that's in my wheel. I was a when

310
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 3: they were making their hits. I'm ten eleven, twelve years olds.

311
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 3: Per Beetles is my favorite band, but I'm listening to

312
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 3: others and when every song and it's crazy though, of

313
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 3: all their songs, I know that's their most part. I

314
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 3: think it's spent. Did I see it? Six weeks at

315
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 3: number one on the Billboard Hot one hundred. It's probably

316
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 3: my I would say it's not even in my top

317
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 3: five or ten songs. By Three Dog Night they had

318
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 3: I think I read eighteen top twenty hits over their career.

319
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 5: I think it was what I have in front of

320
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 5: me right here. Because see again, Three Dog Night was

321
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 5: never the cool band. But you know what makes up

322
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 5: for being not necessarily the coolest band in the room.

323
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 5: How about twenty one Billboard Hot one hundred top forty hits.

324
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 5: They were in the top forty twenty one times in

325
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 5: just a six year period, sixty nine to seventy five.

326
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 3: And that's gigantic. Twenty one times.

327
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 5: We're talking like Taylor Swift, Mariah Carey numbers right there, outrageous.

328
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 5: You can't overstate how popular Three Dog Night were. And

329
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 5: they were unusual in the sense that there were this

330
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 5: three pronged singing attack. There was a whole band that

331
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 5: was behind them, that was the Three Dog Knight band.

332
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 5: But then these three guys out front, all of them

333
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 5: incredible vocalists, able to share and meld, you know, like

334
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 5: I mean like a shambala. Oh that's my by far,

335
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 5: my favorite. Three Dog Knight song SHAMBALAA yeah, but I

336
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 5: mean again, that's hard to pick because they have so

337
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 5: many incredible songs. They were all great singers. Yeah, and

338
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 5: I think they sold a tidy sixty million dollars worldwide

339
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 5: or sixty million records worldwide, which back in the day

340
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 5: and the sixties into the early seventies is a freakishly

341
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 5: large number. They were so popular. In fact, we talked

342
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 5: about this leading up to New Year's Eve. It didn't

343
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 5: used to be called Dick Clark's Rock and New Year's Eve.

344
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 5: It used to be Rock and New Year's Eve with

345
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 5: Three Dog Night. The first two years, he was only

346
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 5: a correspondent there. He wasn't even the host, and the

347
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 5: whole thing was built around their performances. It was a

348
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 5: long televised thing for a few hours every New Year's

349
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 5: Eve back around this time in the very early seventies,

350
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 5: and then Dick Clark took over and changed and grew

351
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 5: to where this.

352
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 2: Year was more than a nine hour event.

353
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 5: But they were as big a band in America as

354
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 5: there was for a long time.

355
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 3: Corey Well's Danny Hutton were his vocalist teammates. They had it,

356
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 3: but Negron he was the most well recognized voice of

357
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 3: them all as the lead singer.

358
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 2: Yep.

359
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 3: And when I also read and I didn't notice to

360
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 3: the degree of how much they didn't write many songs

361
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 3: at all. They wouldn't just do covers of other people's music,

362
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 3: but they did it so well that they the records

363
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 3: flew off the show well.

364
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 5: And it's important to remember, I think too, in that timeline,

365
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 5: you're coming off of an era that yes, there was

366
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 5: all the cool, psychedelic, underground garagi rock stuff, but then

367
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 5: you know, most of the big artists of the day,

368
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 5: the truly giant artists that was commonplace, and supremes didn't

369
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 5: write their own songs, you know, Pat Boone didn't write

370
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 5: his own songs.

371
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 3: This is how it was done.

372
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 5: There was a songwriting cabal, and then there were the

373
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 5: performers who brought these songs to life. And Bob Dylan's

374
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,239
Speaker 5: even in that on kind of both sides of it, right,

375
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 5: everyone covered Bob Dylan's song, did a better job and

376
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 5: made more money off. Well, they didn't make more money,

377
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 5: they got greater popularity and notoriety as a result of

378
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 5: his music. So that was commonplace, you know, and they

379
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 5: picked big like the song it Ain't Easy that David

380
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 5: Bowie famously covered on rib Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders

381
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 5: from Mars. That was a song that was written by

382
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 5: somebody else entirely, that was covered numerous times, but they

383
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 5: liked it so much they made it the title track

384
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 5: of one of their albums, and that album's entirely covers,

385
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 5: so I mean they were ninety plus percent covers.

386
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 3: They had the song one is the Loneliest number one

387
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 3: piece of work out in the Country. Another great song, yep.

388
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 3: Also they had Easy to Be Hard. I mean, I

389
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 3: could go on and on and on with those, but

390
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 3: my favorite was I think Randy Newman wrote lots of

391
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 3: Whiskey in my water, Sugar in my teare all these

392
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 3: crazy questions he asked give me. Mama told me not

393
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 3: to come. I'm told me, I mean it's not a

394
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 3: hate Ashbury party, and mom told me don't go to that. Yeah,

395
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 3: and it's it's The lyrics are brilliant. It's a great song.

396
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, it's And it evokes the time very very

397
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 5: well because it was still hazy and heady days in

398
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 5: the late sixties and early seventies. And of course it's

399
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 5: got Randy Newman's signature all over it, but their execution

400
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 5: of it is almost theatrical. It's it's really really good

401
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 5: and very much evocative of the era, and like Joey

402
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 5: of the World, you know, that's Hoyd accident. Also never

403
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 5: been to Spain. They did a very popular cover up

404
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 5: an old fashioned love song.

405
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 3: I remember, Paul Williams. That's at the very.

406
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 5: Very fringes of my memory when I was because I mean,

407
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 5: you know, I was born in sixty eight, so as

408
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 5: I was a little kid just starting to understand what

409
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 5: music was and hearing it on the radio and around

410
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 5: the house, a lot of these songs are very much

411
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 5: at the very beginning of my collective musical memories.

412
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 3: Eli's coming was Niro Niro exactly. Yeah.

413
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 5: So yeah, they had a ton of great ones and that,

414
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 5: and you know one is a Harry Nilsen song, Yes, yeah,

415
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 5: And so they took these songs and propelled them to

416
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 5: the next level.

417
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 3: What's that Harry could write it.

418
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 5: He wrote a couple decent songs from what I remember, Yeah,

419
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 5: I know, and he did quite well for himself. His friendship,

420
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 5: speaking of a quick little aside, his friendship with John

421
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 5: Lennon got him well. Not only did they have some

422
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 5: legendary party times, but it also he used Lenon's cachet

423
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,479
Speaker 5: to get a record deal that set him up like

424
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 5: a super ultra rich gazillionaire for the remainder of his life.

425
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 3: How good is the song Everybody's Talking? It's perfect. It's

426
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 3: one of the greatest songs of all times.

427
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 5: He's one of the greatest American songwriters that ever lived.

428
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 5: One last thing about check need Ground in case we

429
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 5: don't get back to him. His life was plagued by very,

430
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 5: very debilitating drug abuse, but the guy still lived to

431
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 5: be eighty three years old. He eventually succumbed to COPD

432
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 5: and that's how we just lost him. But he really

433
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 5: overcame a lot. He was about as dark and deep

434
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 5: into the perils of rock and roll decadence as you

435
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 5: can imagine a story being, but managed to pull himself

436
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 5: out of it and would go on to have a

437
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 5: big family and a long solo career and rip Chuck nekron.

438
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 3: It said, Yes, he dedicated himself to helping others struggling

439
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 3: with substance abuse. September seventeen, nineteen ninety one is when

440
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 3: he finally ended that was when he had been so

441
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 3: addicted to heroin other drugs that he nearly died numerous times,

442
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,959
Speaker 3: lost his family, and all of his money. Descended from

443
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 3: a luxurious villa in Hollywood Hills to sleeping on a

444
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 3: mattress and a vacant lot.

445
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 2: Yep, that's all I mean.

446
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 5: That is the the rags to riches, the to rags story, right,

447
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 5: I mean, and it's kids, stay in school, don't do drugs.

448
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and lock your car, take your keys, don't let

00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,600

459
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 3: you know, back when I was really young, I used

460
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 3: to watch the Brammys all the time because I was

461
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,840

468
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 5: That happens to most people very young. Doesn't mean you

469
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 5: can't keep exploring and learning, but I mean, for everybody,

470
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 5: the stuff that really stays with you is the stuff

471
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 5: that hit you when you were younger person.

472
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 3: So I know a lot of the names that were

473
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 3: up for Grammys, of course, but I don't really know

474
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 3: much of their music at all. But we just had

475
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 3: the Grammys and the guy that's going to be at

476
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl halftime show, did he win like album

477
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,239
Speaker 3: or Record of the Year or something like that.

478
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 2: He did?

479
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 3: He won. Bad Bunny won Bad Bundy. I kept calling

480
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,479
Speaker 3: him blue Bunny. But blue Bunny is a ice cream confection.

481
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 5: It's really the one album of the year for Debita

482
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 5: Armas Photos and yeah, that's a Spanish language album winning

483
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,959
Speaker 5: album of the year, much to the chagrin of certain parties.

484
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 3: But here we are.

485
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 5: And so again, as I've been saying from the day

486
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 5: it was announced that Bad Bunny was going to be

487
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 5: the halftime show, the most popular artist in America right

488
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 5: now at the halftime show is a good idea. It's

489
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 5: a smart idea, and the business.

490
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 3: If you're trying to spread your global brands.

491
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 5: Of course it is. And I mean both for the

492
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 5: NFL and for Bad Bunny. I mean, everybody's winning in

493
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 5: this scenario between those parties, and it just it makes

494
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 5: perfect sense, and it's dubtailing so beautifully for him to

495
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 5: be coming off one weekend and winning Album of the

496
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 5: Year the very next weekend, performing on arguably the biggest

497
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 5: music stage on the planet. With the exception of things

498
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 5: like Live eight and that sort of thing, more people

499
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 5: watch the super Bowl halftime than any other single live

500
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 5: musical event.

501
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 3: I will make out my annual announcement. I will be

502
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 3: not watching the understand show. But that's not because of

503
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 3: Bad Bunny. It's because you don't ever watch it. I

504
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 3: never watched the halftime show.

505
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 2: You missed a real banger with Kendrick lamar Man.

506
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 3: It was exceptional because for me, it's like it's all

507
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 3: bells and whistles. It's not really about the music, about

508
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 3: how many explosions can we have, what kind of a

509
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 3: stage show, how many different people can we have dancing,

510
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 3: the choreography and all that, And then it's just little snippets.

511
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 3: I want up to see Ronnie Millsap. Okay, do you

512
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 3: know who Ronnie? A lot listeners probably don't. Yeah, yeah,

513
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 3: but get blind right, yeah blind? Yeah, all right? And

514
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 3: Ronnie Millsapp was a country crossover guy. He was as

515
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 3: big as anybody back in the eighties. And I told

516
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 3: my wife, I said, let's go see him because I

517
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 3: played all his record when I I he was popular

518
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 3: when I was going Here's the Lake from Ronnie mills

519
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 3: About was playing his music, got app. He has so

520
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 3: many hits, so many I think he had like forty

521
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 3: top forty country hits that he can't play every song

522
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 3: because the concert would last, Like how long is that

523
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 3: show going to be? You mentioned the other twenty eight hours.

524
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 2: Twenty eight hours drone not drones this Friday at the Cedar.

525
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 3: Ronnie Millsapp would have to play for twenty eight hours.

526
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 2: Right, So what do you play everything? To play everything?

527
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 3: So what he does is he does the biggest of

528
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 3: the biggest hits and say, but then he does like

529
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 3: three or four met leaves. Yeah, he does his own

530
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 3: medleys as he plays, so.

531
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 5: He like, hey, doesn't want anyone walk away disappointed. I

532
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 5: went to see Ronnie Millsapp and he didn't play my

533
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 5: favorite song, but at least you got a taste. But

534
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 5: you at least got a taste.

535
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, it so, and the medley is kind of what

536
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 3: these these these very often times.

537
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, if there's any guests that comes in, then they

538
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 5: do a chunk of that or a chorus of this song.

539
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 5: And again it's because it's also a showcase for the artist.

540
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 5: And again, very much like in your situation, they're do

541
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 5: that for the same reason Ronnie Millsap does a bunch

542
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 5: of medleys in his set is because these artists generally

543
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 5: have big songs.

544
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 2: They are well regarded.

545
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 5: They have many big, big songs that are loved, and

546
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 5: they got to get some of the bigger ones in

547
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 5: there and the more poignant ones or you know, in

548
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 5: the case of Snoop Dogg, we have to find a

549
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 5: way to sanitize them a little bit because you know,

550
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 5: he tends to work a little blue.

551
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 3: Yeah he does, and so like I do for every

552
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 3: halftime show where it'll start. And it's not like I'm

553
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 3: a protest, just I don't have an interest in it.

554
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 3: That's that when I go back and go fill my

555
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 3: plate again and go use the restroom and just do

556
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 3: all that kind of stuff, I can come back and

557
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 3: watch I understand.

558
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 5: I mean, unless it's something really dynamic or interesting, I

559
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 5: pay no more than passing attention to it. But now

560
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 5: this one is such an important and sort of it's

561
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 5: at this really crucial juncture as where we are right now,

562
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 5: and so I will watch it because I feel like

563
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 5: I feel like it's important.

564
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 2: I felt that way last time with Kender.

565
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 3: Lamar, who is the Rookie of the year like new

566
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 3: artists call, well, yeah.

567
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 5: So the Big four our Song of the Year, Record

568
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 5: of the Year, Album of the Year, and Best New Artist,

569
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 5: and the Best New Artist is a British singer songwriter

570
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 5: who you know, I work part time at a record store.

571
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 5: We cannot keep her records in the shop. Olivia Dean

572
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 5: won Best New Artist. British singer songwriter, not a household name,

573
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 5: but on her way she's very very popular and yeah

574
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 5: and good you know, and she it's what today's young

575
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 5: people are, and she was going up against bands that

576
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 5: I've never heard of, like Cat's Eye, m Alex Warren Lowe,

577
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 5: Alex Warren, Lolo, Young Somber, Addison Somber I do know,

578
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 5: but Addison Ray, I don't know any of these names.

579
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 3: Olivia Dean's the only one I've heard.

580
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 5: But apparently head and shoulders above the pack because she

581
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 5: won easily. So Blue Bunny one, What Bad Bunny Bad

582
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 5: one Album of the Year, and then the other two

583
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 5: of the Big four. There's Song of the Year, which

584
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 5: goes to the songwriters, and then there's Record of the

585
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 5: Year that goes to the performance and the promotion and

586
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 5: the everybody else involved with it. Song of the Year

587
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 5: went to Billie Eilish for Wilde Flowers. So I'm glad

588
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 5: to see that she's retaining her popularity because she came

589
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 5: from the Internet, which is a pretty common story these days,

590
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 5: but she came from the Internet to become a global

591
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 5: force in music, and a lot of times that doesn't sustain.

592
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 5: But here we are, seven, eight, nine, ten years later,

593
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 5: and Billie Eilish still well, obviously at the top of

594
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 5: her game, winning Song of the Year and correct me

595
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 5: when I'm wrong.

596
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 3: When she first came on the scene, you know, like

597
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 3: most of these female artists, they have garish costuming and

598
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 3: all of that, and she was not like that at all, right, just.

599
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 5: The opposite, no opposite, right, She always wore baggy clothes.

600
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 5: She would really downplayed the whole image aspect of it

601
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 5: because she wanted the music to.

602
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 2: Be front and center.

603
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 5: And a lot of times, even when someone does say

604
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 5: that or take that attitude, it's pretty performative. You know,

605
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 5: they're not really trying to make a stand, but she

606
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 5: absolutely was. And in the face of that, you know,

607
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 5: that's not doing yourself any favors in the very instant

608
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 5: gratification world of Instagram or social media in general.

609
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 2: So the songs have to be great, and they were.

610
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 5: They they ignited, they cross genres, boundaries, and you know,

611
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 5: I think I first heard about it from my teenage daughter.

612
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 5: Ocean Eyes was the first song I think I ever

613
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 5: heard way back whenever that was, and then just followed

614
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 5: along and now I own all her records and she's

615
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 5: she's been doing great. I'm a I'm an absolute fan

616
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 5: of Billy and that was just a song of the year,

617
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 5: now record of the year. Went to what I've You know,

618
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 5: does that go to the person that writes it?

619
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 3: I can't remember which one Record of the year and

620
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 3: there's the one that writes it.

621
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's one of the two.

622
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 3: It might be.

623
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 5: I think Song of the Year goes to the writer

624
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 5: and record of the years the performer and everybody else,

625
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 5: but going up against gigantic names like Rose and Bruno,

626
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 5: mars Chapel, Roane, Lady Gaga again Billie Eilish, Song.

627
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 2: Of the Year is for the songwriters. Record of the

628
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 2: Year is for the artist.

629
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 5: There we go and so Doci was my probably my

630
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 5: favorite vote for Record of the Year, but Sabrina Carpenter's

631
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 5: in there, bad Bunny, So unlike best New Artists, this

632
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 5: is filled with heavy hitters, all A listers. But the

633
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 5: winner was, and I think probably deservedly so, Kendrick Lamar

634
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 5: featuring Sizza. A great song called Luther and you know,

635
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 5: poignant but also excellent. I love a good message in

636
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 5: a song, but I also need that song to slap,

637
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 5: as they say.

638
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 3: Ronnie Millsap had an incredible forty number one hits, forty

639
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 3: number one country but yes, still forty number one, forty

640
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 3: number one, I mean that.

641
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 5: Puts him in some really rarefied air. Who else has

642
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 5: forty of.

643
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 3: Them, with thirty five reaching the top spot on the

644
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 3: Billboard Country charts and five more hitting number one on

645
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:38,479
Speaker 3: other charts like cash Box or RPM. Total number one

646
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 3: hits forty you had Billboard Country number one's thirty five

647
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 3: and then other charts he had five, won six Grammy Awards,

648
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 3: and sold over thirty five million albums pretty well.

649
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 5: For he did okay, But again, he did okay because

650
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 5: he was great. You know, not people taking pity on

651
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 5: the blind guy, but you don't get forty number ones

652
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 5: for that. You might get ah, but he was great.

653
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 5: I mean, he was good at what he did. He

654
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 5: knew how to write a song, and he did have

655
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 5: a very his voice and his phrasing combined. He really

656
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 5: was sort of a singular dude. There's not really anybody

657
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 5: else like Brodie millsapp you know, I saw him.

658
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, you did well, and you got to watch him

659
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 2: do all his med least.

660
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 3: Correct what else you got before we do because we

661
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 3: got to get to rock run.

662
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, we will, just real quick. And I don't

663
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 5: want to get into any of the politics of it.

664
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 5: But Springsteen was in town over the weekend, which by

665
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 5: any metric is a pretty big deal. He was playing

666
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 5: with Tom Morello down at First Avenue and they did

667
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 5: their big thing. And again, I'm not a giant Springsteen guy,

668
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 5: but seeing someone of Springsteen's caliber in a room that size,

669
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 5: that's a once in a lifetime kind of thing right there. Well,

670
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 5: he came here because he had put up that song

671
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 5: Streets of Minneapolis, and it debuted at number one on

672
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 5: the sales charts. So apparently the world is enjoying, still

673
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 5: enjoying the music of Bruce Springsteen at this rather shall

674
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 5: we say, contentious time in American history.

675
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 3: I'm a big Tenth Avenue freeze out guy.

676
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a Rosalie to come Out Tonight guy.

677
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

678
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 5: But again, I'm not a deep Springsteen guy. But you

679
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 5: know I'm Born to Run. If you go back and

680
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 5: listen to.

681
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 3: It, that album is brilliant. It's almost Born to Run.

682
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 5: The song is almost in that same rarefied air of

683
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 5: free Bird, and I get just that kind of stuff

684
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 5: where people are like, oh, come on, But if you

685
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 5: sit down and listen with fresh ears to Born to Run,

686
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 5: it's a perfect, shambolic, amazing American rock song.

687
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 3: It's perfect. It's because the highways are jam with broken

688
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 3: heroes on a last chance power drop.

689
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 5: Correct again, he was a weird, rollicking Dylanesque poet, but

690
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 5: dressed up as more of a Jersey pub rocker, and

691
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 5: he just early on I liked him a lot. I

692
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 5: lost the thread a little bit towards the end of

693
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 5: the second.

694
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 3: I'm no hero that's understood all the redemption I can

695
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,240
Speaker 3: offer girls beneath this dirty hood.

696
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 5: Just on his car, Yeah, a last chance power drive.

697
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 5: This is it good for him? We're born to run.

698
00:34:54,920 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 3: It's time now for rock rock rank rock rock like

699
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 3: rock rock.

700
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: Rock rocklank inspired by common kind of wanting to change

701
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: up the flare a little bit of rock rank, so

702
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 1: a little bit more light one today, Brian, your top

703
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: five favorite favorite songs that have a color in the title.

704
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 5: Well, thank you very much, Tenna. I've happened to have

705
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 5: a list of my five favorite right here in front

706
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 5: of me. Again, though you asked me this. If I

707
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 5: sat down and made this list tomorrow, there might be changes.

708
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 5: It's the way these lists always go, right. And it's

709
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:35,399
Speaker 5: worth mentioning too that this is an almost impossible one,

710
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 5: because how is it possible to put a top five

711
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 5: list out that doesn't have Joni Mitchell's Blue on It,

712
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 5: doesn't have Cold Plays Yellow on it doesn't have Kenny

713
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 5: Wayne Shepherd's Blue on Black on it. How is that possible?

714
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 5: Wel like this coming into number five and common This

715
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 5: one's going to be right in your wheelhouse. But I

716
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 5: just picked up a Best of Buddha Records compilation that

717
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 5: had this song on it. I listened to it yesterday.

718
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 5: Crystal Blue Persuasion by Tommy great one, but that's not it, no, no,

719
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 5: but you're.

720
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 3: Gonna love it.

721
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 5: The Lemon Pipers with green tambourine, greene.

722
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 2: It was best America in the history of music.

723
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 5: Right, most definitely, And it's a great song for sure,

724
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 5: But lemon Pipers, green tambourines. This was hipster, groovy, hippie

725
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 5: music for the Marsha Brady's of the world as opposed

726
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 5: to the Abby Hoffman's of the world. Right, It's brilliant,

727
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 5: but it's it's as pop songs go. It's about as

728
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 5: brilliant and evocative of the air as possible.

729
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 3: I'll put on my fifth spot. I'll put Crystal Blue Persuasion. Man,

730
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 3: that's a good one.

731
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 5: I've none, Okay, next number four for me? Number four

732
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:42,959
Speaker 5: Neil Young's Heart of Gold.

733
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: Uh.

734
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 5: Neil Young is the greatest songwriters of all time. He's

735
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 5: Canadian but one of a period. His voice rubs a

736
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 5: lot of people the wrong way.

737
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 3: I thought gold was a medal.

738
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:55,720
Speaker 2: Well, golden is a color.

739
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,919
Speaker 5: I could have put Hunters Golden from K pop demon Hunters.

740
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 3: Here of gold Well, and that's also on my Honorable

741
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 3: mention list. It is.

742
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 5: It's not higher on this list because I wasn't a

743
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 5: police guy. Yeah, yeah, oh I love love the Police,

744
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 5: but yeah, no Sting solo kind of lost me. So

745
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 5: Neil Young Heart of Gold if you listen to it,

746
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,439
Speaker 5: it's just that it's that plaintive yearning in the wake

747
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 5: of the hippy era. And just I think his songwriting

748
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 5: is sort of at his peak in this era. I

749
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 5: love that song in the Town where I was born

750
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:29,280
Speaker 5: almost made the list.

751
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 3: Allen a Yellow Submarine coming into numbers. That song had

752
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 3: to be writt rat Road under the influence of a

753
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 3: whole multi colored galaxy of uppers and downers and skimmers.

754
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 5: Well, and this is they were at their peak of

755
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 5: psychedelic exploration. If you will, there are rumors and tales

756
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 5: of what it was like at Abbey Roads Studios when

757
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 5: they were recording Yellow.

758
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 2: Submarine, because it is.

759
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 5: I mean, they're the freakiest, weirdest hippies, but also the

760
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 5: single largest band on planet Earth, so they.

761
00:37:59,040 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 3: Can do anything.

762
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 5: They've got guys in lab coats, audio engineers who studied

763
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 5: for years, if not decades, to tone their craft and

764
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 5: record important music. And John Lennon's got them wrapping expensive

765
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 5: microphones in plastic bags and putting those underwater so they

766
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 5: can get the sound that runs throughout I mean the

767
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 5: zaniness of you know, of crazy upbeat musicians who.

768
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 2: Are on a lot of drugs, with all the money

769
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:26,439
Speaker 2: and influence in the world.

770
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 3: So were we out on your list? Number three?

771
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: Three?

772
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 5: Number three is Painted Black by the Rolling Stones. One

773
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 5: of the earliest uses of sitar, Thank you Tennant, One

774
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 5: of the earliest uses of citar in popular music. You know,

775
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,800
Speaker 5: Brian Jones and George Harrison were there. George Harrison's was

776
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 5: a little more heartfelt. Brian Jones was more sort of

777
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 5: going for the groovy, spooky vibe that a sitar could add.

778
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 5: But painted black that's not a happy upbeat song. If

779
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 5: you listen to it. Even though the song moves and

780
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 5: it's got great tempo, that song is really sad.

781
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 2: It's not good.

782
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 3: My third Joni Mitchell song, but not blue. It would

783
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 3: be they paved pair of dice and put up a

784
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 3: parking lot, big yellow tax.

785
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 2: That's a great one.

786
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 3: And it was redone by the Yep and that that was.

787
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 2: The big hit.

788
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 5: And I think a lot of people who of a

789
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 5: certain age had never barely knew who Joni Mitchell was,

790
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 5: let alone that song. And there's that great laugh she

791
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 5: does at the end of her version of that song.

792
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:26,919
Speaker 5: I love that song. So Rolling Stones Painted Black coming

793
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 5: in at number three for me, number two, number two.

794
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 5: It may sound cliche to some people, but I just

795
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 5: recently listened to this song opening note till the very

796
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 5: final trailed off and a cliche maybe, but brilliant and

797
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 5: great and worthy of all the accolades. Absolutely none other

798
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 5: than perhaps the most interesting guitarist of all time, Jimmy

799
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:53,320
Speaker 5: Hendrix with purple Haze. Yeah, that's it's just acting funny

800
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 5: and I don't know why, excuse me, while I kissed

801
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 5: the sky.

802
00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:59,319

805
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 3: Hard of Gold my favorite Rolling Stone song of all time?

806
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 2: Is it really?

807
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 3: Well? Again?

808
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 5: I think it's very evocative of the era, right. I mean,

809
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 5: it's about sort of the transitory nature of all the

810
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 5: good times and all the things people were looking for

811
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 5: and then you just got to settle back into your

812
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 5: regular everyday life. There you go, if you make it that,

813
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,840

Speaker 5: the excitement out of you. And I'm apologizing in advance

816
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,560
