That's what everyone talks about, 39 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 3: is that that last couple of minutes, that last two 40 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 3: and a half or three minutes to that song, when 41 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 3: Prince is just wailing through the lead. I had no 42 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 3: idea what kind of guitar player he was, and when 43 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 3: I saw that, it was just blown away. 44 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I think we always saw him as a 45 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 2: performer and as this you know, tremendously diverse performer, but yeah, 46 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 2: his guitar playing wasn't what stood out like it did 47 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 2: in that performance. And then what an ending in terms 48 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 2: of how he he the. 49 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,959 Speaker 1: Song ends, and remember how he just flings the guitar. 50 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 3: He took his guitar by the neck and rops it 51 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 3: into the crowd, and of course his body man was 52 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 3: there to grab it. There was no way that that 53 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 3: was like Bruce's telecaster. That was his telecaster, right, that 54 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 3: was a prized possession. There was no way he was 55 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 3: tossing that into the crowd. It was staged, but it 56 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,239 Speaker 3: was pretty amazing. And just seeing the look on these 57 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 3: legends faces as he's ripping, because he's not thought of 58 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,959 Speaker 3: amongst this circle of people or any of us as 59 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 3: a rock guitar player, and he loved rock. 60 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, and Danny Harrison's look too, is just pretty incredible 61 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 2: as well. 62 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 3: You just like, where is this coming from? For the 63 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 3: love of God, please help me understand this, And it 64 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 3: came from him. And he was a guy who played 65 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 3: a number of different instruments. He was like Paul McCartney 66 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 3: or many others. You know, he played bass, he could 67 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 3: play keyboards, he could play percussion. He was just he 68 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 3: was in it and he was brilliant. So yep, nineteen 69 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 3: seventy three Bruce released Green you Know really mainly an 70 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 3: acoustic ish album. This was his first effort, and I 71 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 3: thought that the cover art, you know, when you think 72 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 3: about it now, it's like one of those postcards you 73 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 3: see anywhere you go and you're on a on a 74 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 3: road trip somewhere, certainly in this country, you know, greetings 75 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 3: from you know, wherever you are, and that's that's kind 76 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 3: of neat, you know. 77 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: I dating the. 78 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 3: Girl in the early nineties who was a Bruce Knutt 79 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 3: like more than you or I.

Sonny ended up being 112 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 3: a congressman. I believe he was a Republican. So I 113 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 3: think that they there's a reason they were divorced. Right, 114 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 3: She's a you know, militant liberal and Sonny a Republican. 115 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 3: But he had an interesting career. He did post the 116 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 3: musical career. 117 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, and then I think his wife then replaced him 118 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:26,799 Speaker 2: in that seat. 119 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: She sure did, She sure did. He was a smart guy. 120 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 3: In twenty sixteen, Donald Fagan, co founder and lead singer 121 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 3: Steely Dan, was arrested by the NYPD. 122 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 1: You recall anything about this story in your mind? It 123 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: had something Seed helped me further. 124 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 3: This one had nothing to do with drugs or alcohol. 125 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 3: But he was arrested for basically for domestic battery. 126 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: Ah. 127 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, he Libby was it? 128 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 2: Was it Libby Titus? I think Libby was her name. Yeah, 129 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 2: I believe Libby Titus was her name. Yeah, makes sense. 130 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 2: He was an odd duck, right. Both of those guys, 131 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 2: Walter and Donald were you know, not traditional you know, 132 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 2: music stars. They were almost more unusual. But their music 133 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 2: and part of its mystique was how unusual the music 134 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 2: and the lyrics were. 135 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: So it's not surprising. 136 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 2: They were unusual or or Donald is unusual. If you 137 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 2: want to read a pretty twisted book too.

You know, we've both talked about 141 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 3: the Asia documentary that we you know, we enjoy about 142 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 3: the making of that album. When they talk about what's 143 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 3: going on, they you know, play the tracks and bring 144 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 3: stuff in and take stuff out.

But that 147 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 3: happened and so outragy. Jus. Yeah, there you go, buzz 148 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 3: stick to your day job. Two thousand and four, Ray 149 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 3: Davies was shot in the leg in New Orleans. 150 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: He was for Jaesus. They say Davis. 151 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how I think it's Davies, but Ray Davies Davis. 152 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 3: But I'm sorry, state side we call them the Davies brothers, 153 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 3: Ray and Dave. But I have heard maybe it's the 154 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 3: Brits that call him, you know, Davis. But he was 155 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 3: shot in the leg. This was a dumb play. This 156 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 3: was his own fault in my opinion. You weigh in 157 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 3: in a second. But he was in New Orleans and 158 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 3: he was chasing two men that stole his wife's or 159 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 3: girlfriend's purse, chases after them. 160 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: That's a problem to begin with. 161 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, someone robs you at gunpoint and you 162 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,839 Speaker 3: go chasing them down and get the purse back, and 163 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 3: during the fight, one of them pulls that gun out 164 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 3: and shoot. He's lucky that didn't lose his life, kidd. 165 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 3: One of those guys was eventually caught and arrested. But 166 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 3: a dumb play lesson here is someone robs you at gunpoint, 167 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 3: you give. 168 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 1: Them what you have.

I really 346 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 3: had to study and study. But he, you know, study 347 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 3: he did, and he, you know, a life tragically cut 348 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 3: short due to a tumor. And you know, it'll be 349 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 3: interesting to see how how Rush does. I've been scouring for, 350 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 3: you know, footage of maybe some rehearsal stuff, anything that 351 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 3: can be you know, released to hear her playing with them. 352 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 3: So yeah, I think it's going to be great, you know, Yeah, 353 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to it. So major cities across the US, 354 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 3: twenty five of them and fifty eight shows. I'm sure 355 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 3: we'll see more. There's some holes in that tour, and 356 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 3: that's usually what happens. Things pick up and they kind 357 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 3: of add some dates in between based on routing. So 358 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 3: nineteen seventy one Black Sabbath released the Paranoid album. The 359 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 3: two big songs on it were Paranoid and Iron Man. 360 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 3: Right nineteen eighty, Pink Floyd released Another Brick in the 361 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 3: Wall Part Two that was the single.

I was a teenager 367 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 3: at the time. Resonated with us kids at the time. 368 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: You anxious kids. 369 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, if you don't eat your meat, how can you 370 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 3: have any meat if you don't or how can you 371 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 3: have any How can you have any pudding if you 372 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 3: don't eat your meat? 373 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 1: Right? I grew tired of that song planning on the 374 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: radio eight million times, though I can't understand why. God. 375 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 3: In seventy two, David Bowie released or they released the 376 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 3: single changes from Honkey Dorry. We had this conversation about 377 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 3: Honky Dory. Did you know a few you know, a 378 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 3: few episodes back where I thought, I can't name a 379 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 3: song from Honkey Dorry And we were both caught off 380 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 3: guard and somewhat embarrassed given what we're doing here that 381 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 3: that Changes actually came from Monkey Dorry. 382 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: Well that's where Claude I came in handy. 383 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 3: So this is true and is an interesting fact about Changes. 384 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 3: In six he played his last show on a you know, 385 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,479 Speaker 3: on a David Bowie tour. He performed the number of 386 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 3: times after that, doing little sets here and there, but 387 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 3: Changes was the last song. It was the closing song 388 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 3: in his final show. Interestingly enough, so he had a 389 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 3: heart attack after his appearance at the Hurricane Festival in 390 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 3: Germany from a block artery which you know, you kind 391 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 3: of look at Bowie, you know it's this thin in shape, 392 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 3: you know, fit kind of guy. But he had a 393 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 3: heart attack after that show in Germany, and ultimately he 394 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 3: ended up you know, battling a horrendous disease and you know, 395 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 3: liver cancer and losses that we're going to talk about 396 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 3: it in just a minute here, but he ended up 397 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 3: passing away. You know what, I'll just I'll just do 398 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 3: it now. In twenty sixteen, on January eighth, actually he 399 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 3: released his final album. And then two days after he 400 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 3: released that album, you know, we were all surprised to 401 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 3: learn that he passed away. 402 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: And what a haunting performance that is, you know. 403 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, inst what a brutal surprise. I mean 404 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 3: that took the most of these people that are sick. 405 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 3: You know, you hear about it, I know, you know, 406 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:22,640 Speaker 3: so and so sick. 407 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: Whatever. 408 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 3: Bowie kept it a secret, yeah forever. So in fifty five, 409 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 3: Rock around the Clock entered the UK charts. This was 410 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,479 Speaker 3: the first rock song ever to top the US charts. 411 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 3: Still sounds great today, right, It's one of those songs 412 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 3: immediately recognizable. 413 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 2: I think if you saw Bill Haley and the Comments 414 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,120 Speaker 2: playing today, they would be one of the bands that 415 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 2: would do the song twice in the set, you know, 416 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 2: and you close with it. 417 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. In fact, I think that's what they were doing 418 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,679 Speaker 1: back then. I think I know that from from fact. 419 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 3: Yeah right, well, you know I saw I saw Bruce 420 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 3: here in two thousand and two at the Thomas and 421 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 3: Mack and he opened and closed with Viva Las Vegas. Yeah, well, 422 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 3: which I thought was very funny. That's funny, yeah, yeah, 423 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 3: kind of a tip of the hat to what they 424 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 3: would do, what his idols would do. In twenty ten, 425 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 3: Jimmy Page launched a new set of stamps. I had 426 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 3: no idea that he was a stamp guy, but album 427 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:29,719 Speaker 3: covers of classic rock albums from the prior forty years, 428 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 3: including you know every I mean going back early like 429 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 3: David Bowie was featured, but at Coldplay and Power Corruption 430 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 3: and Lies New Order stuff I'm really not very familiar with. 431 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,199 Speaker 3: But he launched a line of classic album covers that 432 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 3: were stamps, so kind of interesting. When you're Jimmy Page, 433 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 3: you can do whatever you whatever you want.
