I know that I am all right. This 29 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: week in Disgraceland, our full episode is on Ariana Grande, 30 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: and quite honestly, it's one of my new favorites. It 31 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: is literally action packed thirty minutes of compressed drama detailing 32 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: the terrorist attack at her concert in Manchester, England, back 33 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: in May of twenty seventeen.

But 39 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: I'm going to skip that this week so that we 40 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: can spend more time talking to each other and so 41 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: I can cover more of your voicemails and more of 42 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: your texts.

What was that experience like your musical heroes. 98 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 1: This is all in reference to the anecdote I told 99 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: you about meeting us or kind of meeting or not 100 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: really meeting Steven Tyler as a little kid. So let's 101 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 1: start out this voicemail from the four h six. 102 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 5: My name is Jeff. I'm leaving a message about hating Arrowsmith. 103 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 5: I was actually a fan club member and could get 104 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 5: good seats. I lived in Montana and we traveled all 105 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 5: the way to the Columbia, George and they cambled because 106 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 5: it was too cold. That really set me off with 107 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 5: the whole thing. I quit the membership and the hell 108 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 5: with them. 109 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: That is a tough hang, my man. You drive miles 110 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: upon miles to see your favorite band and then they 111 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: bail because it's too cold. I'm gonna add insult to 112 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: injury here and just let you know. They're from fucking 113 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 1: New Hampshire and New England, some of these guys, so 114 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: no strangers to the cold. I don't know how cold 115 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: it was, but you got a right to be upset. Okay. 116 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: As in reference to my specific feelings toward Aerosmith and 117 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: their music, the eight five six called in with their oad. 118 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 6: Take hey, Jake Mark from New Jersey. I was just 119 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 6: listening to the Aerosmith after party. I share your feelings 120 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 6: about Ariostifton was my first concert at a young age, 121 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 6: and I am love hate with that things. 122 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: So eight five six the reason for my love hate 123 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: relationship with Aerosmith. You know, to me, it's all about 124 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: the music. I say that, but obviously you heard the 125 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: story told in the last after party about being a 126 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: little kid and running into them backstage and whatever, whatever, whatever. 127 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: I don't want to beliebor that. But I don't know, 128 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: like when I think about, oh God, Aerosmith, they annoy 129 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: the shit at mean, I don't think of that moment 130 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: at all. If anything, they were made Tom Hamilton made 131 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: the band cooler my estimation during that incident. So it's 132 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: just the music. It's like, on one hand, you know, 133 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: it's not like the Rolling Stones. Like the Rolling Stones 134 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: had obviously like the sixties, the seventies, and then there's 135 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: a huge dip in the eighties. They weren't really that active, 136 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: and then the nineties. You know, it's like the emotional 137 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: rescue stuff, like that stuff I go back to now 138 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: and I love it. I didn't like it at the time. 139 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: I love it now. Sorry I said emotional rescue. That's 140 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: someone I meant. I met Steel Wheels, then you got Arrowsmith, right, 141 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: and they peek in the seventies, and again the eighties 142 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: they're not all that active. There's the run DMC thing, 143 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: and then they make the big comeback at the end 144 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: of the eighties. I think that was like eighty eight, 145 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: eighty nine. I could be wrong. It was eighty seven. 146 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: I don't know run DMC things started it off, however, 147 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: and they've got there's some okay stuff Angel, then there's 148 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: this stuff on Pump, which is pretty okay later, but 149 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: then there's that whole like Alicia Silverstone era Aerosmith. Nothing 150 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: against Alicia Silverstone, but god, that stuff is just awful 151 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: awful when they're cheesy, They're just so cheesy. I can't 152 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: get over it. It's the music, it's not the meeting them, 153 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: all right, another one on the meeting Aerosmith thing. Let's 154 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: get into the two five to six. 155 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 7: Hey, Jake, here's a story about meeting your heroes. It's 156 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 7: a bit long. I'll try to make it as quick 157 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 7: as I can. I was playing acoustic percussion backing a 158 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 7: singer songwriter friend of mine at a Mexican restaurant outside 159 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 7: hunts By, Alabama, about eight years ago. We were in 160 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 7: the middle of our first set when a large group 161 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 7: entered and made their way to a small, semi private 162 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 7: area on the opposite side of the bar where we 163 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 7: were playing. A couple of minutes later, an instantly recognizable 164 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 7: rock legend walked in to join them. Gray Skullcap sunglasses, 165 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 7: black leather duster, and an orange beard reaching down past 166 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 7: his chest. That's right, the Reverend Billy S. Gibbons himself. 167 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 7: My friend and I looked at each other, each of 168 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 7: us with our eyes as wide as they could get, 169 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 7: as it's really happening. We got our confirmation a few 170 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 7: minutes later. I'm not sure why, but he walks around 171 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 7: to our side of the bar, orders a glass of 172 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 7: red wine, and essentially chugs it. He did this three 173 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 7: to four times during dinner. My guess, being that we're 174 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 7: on the heart of the Bible belt, is that some 175 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 7: or all of the group he was with did not 176 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 7: approve of alcohol, and that he came to drink by 177 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 7: himself to keep from offending them. I say that because 178 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 7: he seemed to be a very respectful man. He spent 179 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 7: nearly our entire first break speaking with my friend and me. 180 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 7: He complimented my percussion set up, and he shares some 181 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 7: wisdom with us that I pass along. Whenever I have 182 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 7: the chance, get rid of tower speakers. People are walking 183 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 7: around all day subjected to noise pollution assaulting their ears. 184 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 7: Don't have the speakers at ear left, use wedge shaped 185 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 7: speakers on the floor to send the sound up and 186 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 7: out to draw the people in ignite the atmosphere. He 187 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 7: repeated that phrase several times, ignite the atmosphere. For ten 188 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 7: to twelve minutes we held court with rot Royalty. He 189 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 7: was very gracious with his time and seemed genuinely interested 190 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 7: in us. At one point, a nine or ten year 191 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 7: old kid walks up, smartphone in hand, undoubtedly sent over 192 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 7: by his boom or dad, to snap a pick of 193 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 7: the guy he probably had never heard of. Mister Gibbons 194 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 7: just sort of shewed the kid away, as if to say, 195 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 7: not now, kid. The adults, the musicians in the room 196 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 7: were talking. Mister Gibbons exited during our second set with 197 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 7: a nod and a subdued two finger wave with his 198 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 7: hand by his side as we played the Marshall Tucker bands. 199 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 7: Can't you see a subtle acknowledgment that, for one night, 200 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 7: a living rock and roll legend treated us not as posers, 201 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 7: wanna bees or amateurs, but as peers rock a rolla all. 202 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: Right, all right, ritter, ritter, right, all right, cool story, 203 00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: cool story. Thank you for calling it and sharing that. 204 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 8: Uh. 205 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: Let's stay on on this topic here with this message 206 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: from the four to nine. 207 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 9: Hey, Jay Chris here, I was just calling on reference 208 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 9: to you, talking about musicians to let you down or 209 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 9: lifting you up. My very first concert was under Oh. 210 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 9: The drummer Aaron Gillizie came up to the side of 211 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 9: the stage. I was reaching my hand out and he said, hey, man, 212 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 9: I better see you in that pit. I know he 213 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 9: wasn't watching for me in the pit, but just the 214 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 9: fact that he had acknowledged me and spent the time 215 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 9: to talk to me for a quick second just sealed 216 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 9: the deal. I continue to listen and still listen to 217 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 9: this day. 218 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 6: All Right, brother, have. 219 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 9: A good one. 220 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: All Right, I love this. I love this. It's on Aerosmith, 221 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: but I still love it. These little moments. Uh, when 222 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: we're kids, we're so impressionable, especially in the hardcore world, 223 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: the punk world. It's fantastic when you know the band's 224 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: break down, that barrier between stage and crowd. They just 225 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 1: it means so much much. If you're a young kid 226 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: in a band and you've got an audience in here 227 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 1: for some reason, you know you're listening, you get a 228 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: chance to hear this, just know how you interact with 229 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: your fans, it means so so, so so much. You 230 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: probably already know that, especially if you're a hardcore band. 231 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: It's part of it's part of the whole deal. I 232 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: love hearing this stuff from you guys. Keep it coming, 233 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: all right.

I was just driving here 236 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 10: and you're asking about rockstar encounters. It's been lucky enough 237 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 10: to have a bunch of them. But one that really 238 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 10: stands out is I was a sponsor rep one tour 239 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 10: with Jimmy Page and Robert Plant in ninety five, I think, 240 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 10: and we were supposed to get a bunch of autographed 241 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 10: guitars done for a food bank that Page and Plant 242 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 10: wanted to support. So this was basically their idea, and 243 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 10: I worked it out with their people and set up 244 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 10: all the guitars to be signed at the Rosemont Horizon 245 00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 10: in Chicago, and little paint sticks every five or six guitars, 246 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 10: just in case they ran out of paint. And as 247 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 10: Jimmy Page walked in with his assistant, apparently he had 248 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,839 Speaker 10: forgotten about this arrangement and looked at me and called 249 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 10: me a fucking By Jimmy Page, I got called a 250 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 10: fucking which was awesome.

And I said earlier 336 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: that I have a lot of gratitude for this conversation 337 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: that we're having, and I do, and that's that's how 338 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 1: I'm going to approach this. What makes me I am? 339 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: What makes me me? I guess you know. To answer 340 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: your question, is you got to go back to young 341 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:10,120 Speaker 1: me who was obsessed with all kinds of music. I'm 342 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: trying to answer this question, Curtis trying to answer your 343 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 1: question in the context of why we're all here because 344 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 1: of Disgraceland because of music. I was obsessed, obviously, particularly 345 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 1: when I was a kid. I was obsessed with aggressive music, 346 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: going as far back as, like, you know, fourth grade 347 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 1: and getting into a CDC and heavy metal for the 348 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: first time. I was an angry little kid, and angry 349 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: music opened me up. It made me less angry in 350 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: a weird way. It just you know, boys, as you 351 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: probably know, you are one, you were one. You have 352 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: a lot of aggression, get a lot of testosterone, you 353 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: get a lot of stuff swirling through. I have two 354 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: little boys myself. They go fucking crazy, they're lunatics regularly. 355 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,640 Speaker 1: They have to get this energy out. I did too, 356 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: and in angry music, aggressive music was what helped me 357 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: as a young kid and then the other thing I 358 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: had going on because my father's influence as a musician. 359 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 1: He was in everything, and I saw firsthand that you 360 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: can be into everything. So when kids in my neighborhood 361 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: were just like siloing themselves off, I'm I'm a metal 362 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: head er, I'm a punk rocker, or I'm whatever, that 363 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 1: didn't truck with me at a young age. I knew 364 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: how I knew how ridiculous and limiting that was. My 365 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: dad had great taste, and he was, like I said, 366 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 1: he was into everything, and I emulated that even as 367 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: a young kid, even to my to the detriment of 368 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: my physical safety at times. Nowadays, I know it's gonna 369 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 1: sound weird, but for what I'm trying to grasp at, 370 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,360 Speaker 1: how it relates to your question, you know, what makes 371 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: me me and relative to disgraceland. What I'm trying to 372 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 1: grasp at these days creatively how to tell these stories 373 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,120 Speaker 1: and the best possible way that I can, what I'm 374 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: always doing is I'm reaching back into that bedroom that 375 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: I grew up in, that I shared with my little 376 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 1: brother as a little teenager in and I'm trying to 377 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: entertain that version of me that kid, Not to say 378 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: I'm trying to entertain young kids with Disgraceland or with 379 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: what I'm making. I'm not, but I am trying to 380 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: entertain the younger version of me. I wanted to know 381 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: everything I could about my heroes, the musicians that I loved. 382 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,439 Speaker 1: And this was in an age, in an era that 383 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 1: was pre Internet, and it was particularly hard to find 384 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: information on artists that were not mainstream, and those tended 385 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: to be as well. As I got older, those tended 386 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 1: to be the artist that I was more interested in. 387 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: So I poured through Rolling Stone, Spin, Maximum Rock and Rolls, 388 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: Suburban Voice, Anti Matter. I just always wanted to learn, 389 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: to learn more, to listen and learn, to listen and learn, 390 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: and beyond that, to be entertained. And you know, life 391 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: in a little Massachusetts milltown was fucking boring, super boring, 392 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: like paint drying on the walls, boring. I always had 393 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: the sense that there was this fucking annoying sense that 394 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,959 Speaker 1: there was always something better happening somewhere else, and music 395 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: was an escape, first figuratively through the records I listened to, 396 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: and through the articles I read in the books I read, 397 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: and then when I started going into Worcester, into Boston 398 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 1: and going to see shows. Then it was a literal escape. 399 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: When I joined a band, it was an escape that 400 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: I could kind of control. And now it's still an 401 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: escape as a you know, a middle aged dad, you know, 402 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: trying to try to make a living doing something that 403 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 1: interests him. It's still an escape. Music has always been 404 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 1: an escape, and I've never really, you know, articulated it 405 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: that way or thought about it that pointedly until now, 406 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: until answering your question, Curtis, So thank you. I appreciate that. 407 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: I hope that answers. I hope that answers you.

I was thinking about this even 421 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: before Curtis left that voicemail. I was thinking about this 422 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: over the weekend while watching the TV show The Bear. 423 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: Are you guys watching? The show? Show is fucking incredible? 424 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 1: I talked about it before season one, but season two 425 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: is strong. Anyways, There's this episode about hospitality and about 426 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 1: serving people. And I know a lot of you probably 427 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 1: work or have worked in hospitality. I did when I 428 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: was a kid, but I never did it. I never 429 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: did it as an adult. I had other versions of 430 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 1: jobs like that when I got to be a young adult. 431 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: But there's this great episode on hospitality and serving people, 432 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: and it got me thinking, you know, serving specifically, you 433 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: know in the television show, it's about serving fans of 434 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: the specific restaurant, and it just, you know, just hit me. 435 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: Not that I didn't know this or I haven't I 436 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: haven't done this before or experienced this on both ends before, 437 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: but just how awesome it can be to make people happy, 438 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 1: especially people that you don't know, but who you know 439 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: admire you and appreciate what you create, and when you 440 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 1: can surprise them, when you can reward them the joy 441 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: that it can bring them. I know that for me 442 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: as a fan, when someone, when an artist that I admire, 443 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: takes the time to engage with me, it is special 444 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: and it still happens to this day. And Disgraceland has 445 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 1: done that for me. It's opened up these conversations with 446 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: literal like musical heroes of my icons, like people I 447 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: never in a million years would would have dreamt of 448 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: meeting or talking to. And I've had a version of 449 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: this experience as a fan going back all the way 450 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: back to when I was a little kid. I've talked 451 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: about this before, and you know, I joke about the 452 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,360 Speaker 1: Arrowsmith thing we talked about, we talked about, but I've 453 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: had I've had great experiences too where I've met dudes 454 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: and bands who I looked up to who were just 455 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: so fucking cool to me. And it leaves a mark. 456 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 1: And in this episode of The Bear, they really show that, uh, 457 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: you know, and I'm more interested in this concept coming 458 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: from the other way, from creator to supporter or to fan. Okay, 459 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 1: when I was playing in bands, it was very easy 460 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: to do this sort of thing. It's harder as a 461 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: podcaster though. We're so I'm so separated from you guys. 462 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: You know, I send out I used to send out 463 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: posters and pins and shirts, and I still do that 464 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: to some degree, and I always will. It's the DIY. 465 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 1: But I'm trying to find something that's a bit more personal, 466 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,360 Speaker 1: a bit more connected. And it's hard. I've found out 467 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 1: in watching this, you know, and watching this episode of 468 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: The Bear, I found out that I don't really know 469 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 1: you guys. It's hard to make a personal connection with 470 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 1: you. You know, it's just you know, you know, we have 471 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 1: this this larger connection music. Broadly speaking, you're obsessed with 472 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: music like I am. That's what dis Graceland is really about. Sure, 473 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 1: it's about musicians getting way with murder and behaving very badly, 474 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: and it's about music, and it's about true crime. But 475 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 1: it's really about the details, the obsessive details, the edge 476 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: of your seat, storytelling that that music heads, music obsessives 477 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 1: like yourselves, like like me, that we geek out on. 478 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: I know this because I'm you, you are me.

But I don't know you, not really, 480 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: So how do we get to better know each other? 481 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 1: Every week I come on here and I tell you, guys, 482 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: what I'm into.

Megan 537 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:22,919 Speaker 1: goes hot to say, this is already long enough, but 538 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: since you're also a punk guy who probably does MxPx, 539 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: grew up with them.

What's making this connection happen? You know, 562 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: I tend to stop and ask it about other people, 563 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: and I don't often get to think about it in 564 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: terms of myself.

Born in the USA on 611 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 1: the fourth of July. No, that is not a patriotic anthem. 612 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 1: This is from the three oh three. I'm not a 613 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: big country music fan, but I'll take Lee Greenwood's God 614 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 1: Bless the USA or Toby Keith the Angry American. Now 615 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: listen here three oh three. I hear you loud and clear. 616 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: But America is not beyond criticism, and I'm not piling 617 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 1: on either. That's not what I'm saying. Born in the 618 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 1: USA is a is a song about about a specific 619 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: point of view from a specific character that you can 620 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: I don't think, you know, Springstey might tell you differently, 621 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: but I think if you asked him, I don't even 622 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: if you told me something different, I probably call bullshit 623 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 1: on him. I don't think Springsteen meant that as a 624 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: anti American cry. I think it was more, you know, 625 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: like I said, from the point of view of one character. 626 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: That's how he writes songs. And I think when Reagan 627 00:32:55,600 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: adopted it foolishly and without much thought. What was Springsteen 628 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: gonna do? But I hear your Fourth of July you 629 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: don't want to fuck with anything negative.

This 660 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: is the recommendation's part, the part where we recommend the 661 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: things that need recommending. The recommendations part. What I've been 662 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 1: listening to so Billboard magazine, you know all about it. It 663 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 1: got out of my skin. But it's sent me on 664 00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 1: this old school hip hop tip. I can't listening to 665 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 1: ninety stuff mainly played my five year old mister Bob 666 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:08,279 Speaker 1: Dobelin Aboud, Delda Funcky, Homo Sapien almost Safian excuse me 667 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 1: on the way to Baseball can today. He nearly shot 668 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 1: his pants laughing, and I you know, most of it 669 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,400 Speaker 1: is because he just thinks the name Bob is the 670 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,280 Speaker 1: funniest thing that he's ever heard. I have no idea 671 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 1: why he's a weird kid. Coincidentally, perhaps because the universe 672 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 1: is listening while Billboard is under my skin. Do the 673 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: Right Thing is on my television, and it was the 674 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 1: other night, and I was an extra reminder to me 675 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 1: to cue up to Fight the Power video by Public Enemy. Great, 676 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 1: great video. You all know the song, but check that 677 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 1: video out. I feel like it gets overlooked. There's a 678 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 1: story there too. What's the story behind that video? It's 679 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 1: so random. Somebody needs to write an oral history on 680 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: how that all went down. Or maybe someone could just 681 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 1: write me an email or call in or whatever. Let 682 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 1: me know if they know anything about the making of 683 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: the Do the Right Thing video, because it is incredible. Yeah, 684 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: lots of hip hop this week.

I've never seen 692 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:22,479 Speaker 1: this movie, by the way, I've never seen He Got Game, 693 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,840 Speaker 1: but I heard this Public Enemy song before He Got Game. Right, 694 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:27,359 Speaker 1: that's the name of the song. The name of the song, 695 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,359 Speaker 1: the thing with Steven Stills, you know what I'm talking about. 696 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 1: It's based on the Buffalo Springfield song. For what it's worth, 697 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 1: I can't stand that fucking song, but I love this version, 698 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: this Public Enemy version of it, all right. Came on 699 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: in the mix. Music was great. Fucking song is great, 700 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 1: and now I love it.
