Speaker 1: Welcome to this week in Music History for the week
Speaker 1: of June twenty third through the twenty ninth. I am
Speaker 1: Harry Jacobs, and the fan noise you hear in the
Speaker 1: background comes from only one place, from the lovely voice
Speaker 1: of Lynn Hoffman, the host of Well, the host of
Speaker 1: many things right, you're the host of music saved me.
Speaker 2: Most importantly, Breakfast this.
Speaker 1: Morning, Breakfast this morning. We're not involved. We are not
Speaker 1: otherwise involved. The nature of our relationship is friendship. For
Speaker 1: thirty years, music and comedy saved me. And we are
Speaker 1: in parts unknown, Connecticut and I'm here on vacation and
Speaker 1: Buzz is not available for the music history for today
Speaker 1: on the twenty third of June. So I'm here, Lynn
Speaker 1: is here, full belly from home Coook, Breakfast this morning.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much.
Speaker 2: You're welcome.
Speaker 1: Are you ready to rock and roll?
Speaker 2: I love pinch hitting for Buzz night now listen.
Speaker 1: This is a bit of a hot rob because Smokey
Speaker 1: Robinson's had some trouble of late, but in nineteen sixty five,
Speaker 1: on the twenty third of June, they released tracks of
Speaker 1: My Tears and this was a defining hit for Motown,
Speaker 1: arguably just one of the great songs in Motown, right,
Speaker 1: you know the song.
Speaker 3: Of course, I'm probably one of like the godfathers of
Speaker 3: the genre.
Speaker 1: No question about that, an important figure in Motown history.
Speaker 1: And hopefully all of the legal stuff, the stuff gets
Speaker 1: figured out for Smokey, But there's that one in nineteen
Speaker 1: sixty six. On June twenty third, What we have found,
Speaker 1: Lynn is that there's never a week, and sometimes there's
Speaker 1: never a day that there's not Beatles history of some
Speaker 1: sort involved in our little episodes, and today is no exception.
Speaker 1: And they kicked off their final world tour in Munich.
Speaker 1: It marked the end of an era for Beatles live performances,
Speaker 1: and it was an epic one and an important day
Speaker 1: in music history.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I can't imagine that there wouldn't be a date
Speaker 3: where you couldn't connect something musically back to the Beatles.
Speaker 1: Every single week we've been doing this, I want to say,
Speaker 1: we started doing this at the end of at the
Speaker 1: end of the year in twenty four and every single week,
Speaker 1: without failures, there's something Beatles relating. Nineteen seventy five, June
Speaker 1: twenty third, Alice Cooper fell off stage in Vancouver. He
Speaker 1: broke six ribs have you ever broken a rib?
Speaker 2: No, but I hear it's horribly painful.
Speaker 1: As they say where we come from, it's wicked painful
Speaker 1: apparently to break a rib. And Alice busted six of
Speaker 1: them to a dramatic moment in this theatrical rock career,
Speaker 1: Big Day in nineteen seventy nine, on this day, this
Speaker 1: is one of my favorite album.
Speaker 2: No, it's not your favorite album. It's with my favorite.
Speaker 1: Album, Breakfast in America by super Trap. You were looking
Speaker 1: ahead on the cheef sheet you stole the thunder, So
Speaker 1: Breakfast in America one of your favorites.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't want to share it with anyone. Well, no,
Speaker 3: I mean you got to share it something that's good.
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's probably one of my all time, if
Speaker 3: not the most. I mean it's right up there with
Speaker 3: like Elo.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So this album, Breakfast in America had the Logical
Speaker 1: Song and the long Way Home, Take the Long Way Home.
Speaker 1: It just it had a number of great songs. Breakfast
Speaker 1: in America itself was a great song, a lot of hits,
Speaker 1: especially for rock radio. On that one nineteen ninety, Gary
Speaker 1: Busey purchased one of Buddy Holly's guitars at an auction
Speaker 1: for almost almost a quarter of a million dollars two
Speaker 1: hundred and forty thousand dollars a nod to Buddy Holly's
Speaker 1: influence in Rock Right, big big deal for Gary Busey,
Speaker 1: and he played Buddy Holly, played Buddy Holly any movie.
Speaker 1: So not only did he get the guitar, but he
Speaker 1: actually got to play Buddy in a movie.
Speaker 2: I heard he use the money from the movie he
Speaker 2: made to buy the guitar.
Speaker 1: Oh, isn't that interesting?
Speaker 2: I made that up?
Speaker 1: Un gullable really on this day in twenty sixteen, led
Speaker 1: Zeppelin long broken up. At the time, they were cleared
Speaker 1: for plagiarizing Stairway to Heaven from a song by a
Speaker 1: band named Spirit. They were really most well known for
Speaker 1: a song called I Got a Line on You, and
Speaker 1: there was a lawsuit about their song Stairway to Heaven
Speaker 1: and Spirit's Taurus. It's a high profile trial and it
Speaker 1: was upheld. They were clear to plagiarizing, upheld in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty on appeal by Spirit.
Speaker 2: So just recently that was that's crazy twenty Yeah, just
Speaker 2: to COVID time. What do you think about that?
Speaker 1: I think?
Speaker 2: I mean, this isn't a little nitpicky it is.
Speaker 1: Listen, as a guy who plays some music occasionally, I
Speaker 1: think that it's easy to grab things and riffs and
Speaker 1: things that you like when you're at the Led Zeppelin level,
Speaker 1: When you're at the professional kind of level, it can
Speaker 1: get messy. And I think that by and large, if
Speaker 1: you can prove a pattern in terms of the chord
Speaker 1: progression and the way a song is strummed or individual notes,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I mean I get it. Listen.
Speaker 1: Sting it gets paid by Diddy like two thousand dollars
Speaker 1: a day. I don't know if he's still getting paid
Speaker 1: with Ditty in jail, but for the ripping off every
Speaker 1: breath you take, Diddy has to pay Sting two thousand
Speaker 1: dollars a day in perpetuity.
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, Wait a minute. I have never heard
Speaker 2: that story.
Speaker 1: That's true story.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure that story.
Speaker 1: I don't know Sting to Jesus day.
Speaker 3: Although I wonder if he donates that money because anything
Speaker 3: coming from.
Speaker 1: Did Yeah, I don't know. It's icky, right, there's an
Speaker 1: ick factor now with that. In nineteen sixty seven, the
Speaker 1: Monkeys TV show, they won an Emmy for Outstanding Comedy
Speaker 1: Series and they beat out Bewitched and get Smart. You
Speaker 1: know the Monkeys? Are you fan of the Monkeys music?
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me?
Speaker 3: Toward Last Training to the Clarksville and like cheer up,
Speaker 3: Sleepy Jean, and.
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean I love the Monkeys? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2: I wanted to marry Davy Jones.
Speaker 1: You and you're wearing Mickey Dolans's pork by hat today.
Speaker 1: No one can see it.
Speaker 2: He's the last remaining monkey.
Speaker 1: He is, He's it, Okay, I did not realize that.
Speaker 1: Well the Monkeys. I will tell you a little musical
Speaker 1: fact about the Monkeys. The Monkeys musically were very underrated,
Speaker 1: and when you look at things like Last Train to
Speaker 1: clarks Field is a great example. You can look up
Speaker 1: Louis Shelton, who played in the band the Wrecking Crew.
Speaker 1: They were part of the band that backed up a
Speaker 1: lot of these bands in the sixties. Musically, the Monkeys
Speaker 1: were really, really great. They didn't play I mean they
Speaker 1: played their own instruments when they went on tour, but
Speaker 1: when they recorded The Wrecking Crew guys were backing them,
Speaker 1: backing them up, and they they wrote those riffs. So
Speaker 1: interesting story about the Monkeys. Let's see what else we
Speaker 1: got here? In nineteen eighty four, Buzz and I are
Speaker 1: both Springsteen fans. Born in the USA debuted at number
Speaker 1: nine in the USA, and that really in nineteen eighty
Speaker 1: four launched Bruce's career. Up to that point, Bruce had
Speaker 1: had really good rock recognition, but in nineteen eighty four,
Speaker 1: Born in the USA just sent him out into the ether.
Speaker 2: Now was it really Born in the USA?
Speaker 3: Or was it because he grabbed that beautiful woman in
Speaker 3: the music video in nineteen eighty four onto the stage
Speaker 3: with him?
Speaker 1: The beautiful woman that he grabbed on stage in the
Speaker 1: video for Dancing in the Dark was who?
Speaker 2: Oh? That was dancing in the dark. See, I'm arch dark.
Speaker 1: It's okay, But who was that?
Speaker 2: Who are you asking me? I'm just like a quiz.
Speaker 2: You're gonna give you away money that somebody listening.
Speaker 1: You're sitting across me in Mickey Dolans's hat. Tell me
Speaker 1: who Bruce Springsteen drags in the video in Dancing in
Speaker 1: the Dark. Who was it? She's famous?
Speaker 2: We're just Courtney Cox from Friends.
Speaker 1: There you go. I could see I could see the
Speaker 1: smoke coming out of your ears when you were trying
Speaker 1: to think about that but yeah, Courtney Cox and dancing
Speaker 1: in the dark and no You're not No, No. The
Speaker 1: thing about Born in the USA is a lot of
Speaker 1: people think it's a patriotic song. If you go see
Speaker 1: him in concert, you see people waving their fists, holding
Speaker 1: up the flags, and there's this patriotic feel to Born
Speaker 1: in the USA. But the song Born in the USA,
Speaker 1: if you listen to the lyrics, is about how a
Speaker 1: Vietnam veteran is treated when he came home, or was
Speaker 1: treated when he came home. And it's a sad It's
Speaker 1: about as anti American as a song can get. Yet
Speaker 1: everyone has co opted into.
Speaker 2: A anthem for the USA.
Speaker 1: An anthem for the USA. Yeah, anthem of the USA.
Speaker 1: Let's go to June twenty fifth. We talked Buzz and
Speaker 1: I about All You Need Is Love a couple of times,
Speaker 1: and I know we've got another conversation coming up next
Speaker 1: week on this on this very song, but All You
Speaker 1: Need is Love, which is a monster of an anthem.
Speaker 1: It was played live on something called Our World Global
Speaker 1: Global TV broadcast. It was a big moment in sixties counterculture.
Speaker 1: This song was, you know, about as anti war and
Speaker 1: pro piece as you can get you know, think about
Speaker 1: the words. All you need is love, That's.
Speaker 2: All you need. I'm not.
Speaker 3: I'm wondering if I'm giving you the love that Buzz
Speaker 3: usually gives you on the shows like am I am
Speaker 3: I doing his part justice?
Speaker 1: Well, it's well, you know what it is, because there's
Speaker 1: no one here to pick on me. You didn't call
Speaker 1: me like music Maven or music God, or tease me
Speaker 1: or throw any of those shots.
Speaker 2: I can if you want, I mean all in good spirit.
Speaker 1: I can't throw any age insults back to you, which
Speaker 1: is generally my that's my act with that's my thing
Speaker 1: with bus. No, that's not that's impossible. Yeah, but you're
Speaker 1: a great co host and I appreciate that well. Thanks.
Speaker 1: In nineteen eighty four, the woman who would become Bruce
Speaker 1: Springsteen's wife joined the East Street Band on this day,
Speaker 1: just before the tour kicked off. Patti Skialfa is her name.
Speaker 1: He met her at a at a little bar called
Speaker 1: the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, New Jersey, made famous
Speaker 1: really by Bruce. A lot of the Jersey Shore guys
Speaker 1: played there. But that's where Bruce and Patty met in
Speaker 1: the back bar there. I saw him talk about it
Speaker 1: on a CBS special one day and it's kind of
Speaker 1: a sweet little story and they're married, continue to be
Speaker 1: married for quite some time at this point. Three beautiful kids.
Speaker 1: So two thousand and nine, Michael Jackson passed away at fifty.
Speaker 1: This was a loss that was enormous to the music world.
Speaker 1: It was also a time and I want to be
Speaker 1: careful how I how I talk about this that the
Speaker 1: you know, the the creep or the ick factor was
Speaker 1: alive and well Michaels because of the you know, the
Speaker 1: kids and the ranch, and it's you know, it's a
Speaker 1: shame because his music. You know, I've got this, you
Speaker 1: understand this about me. I've got this soft spot for pop,
Speaker 1: always have and and loved his music. But that creep
Speaker 1: factor I think hurt him for a lot of people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it was clear that he had his
Speaker 3: issues and whatever the demons were that he was fighting.
Speaker 3: But the sad part is is that he's not here
Speaker 3: to defend himself.
Speaker 2: A and H. B.
Speaker 3: As someone who's worked with documentary films that you know,
Speaker 3: you can really skew whatever feeling you want in those
Speaker 3: to try to make it something seem one way or another.
Speaker 3: Song always really skeptical when I see things which I
Speaker 3: saw on it, I mean, like to ban the songs
Speaker 3: and or not. You know, we don't really know. There's
Speaker 3: not been any trial, there's been no evidence presented. It's
Speaker 3: all just hearsay an opinion.
Speaker 1: I think banning of the music is over right at
Speaker 1: this point. I mean we still hear it again. But
Speaker 1: there was that period of time that people were.
Speaker 2: It was theyck factor.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well they're working to play his music right,
Speaker 1: interesting story there at anyway. And I have a friend
Speaker 1: at some point if we ever get into the true
Speaker 1: crime business here at Buzznight Media, I have a friend
Speaker 1: who worked the Conrad Murray story. And Conrad Murray was
Speaker 1: the doctor who injected Michael with propofaal best friend of
Speaker 1: mine who worked at I won't say what brands, but
Speaker 1: worked in law enforcement. He carried what they call an
Speaker 1: iron key around his neck, and that is a little
Speaker 1: USB thumb drive and you only get ten shots to
Speaker 1: unlock it. And if you miss the past, like if
Speaker 1: he were to lose that hard drive someone tried to
Speaker 1: hack it, it automatically destructs. And the thought with that
Speaker 1: iron the thought with the iron key was if you
Speaker 1: bought one. You got yourself on a list. I remember saying.
Speaker 1: When I saw it, I thought, oh, that's really cool.
Speaker 1: I'm going to buy one. He said, don't buy it
Speaker 1: from them, You'll end up on a list. Go to Amazon.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, right, that's crazy cool, kind of.
Speaker 1: A cool story. June twenty sixth, nineteen sixty four, the
Speaker 1: Stones released their debut album in the US. This kicked
Speaker 1: off their invasion on the American rock scene. And in
Speaker 1: that day, Lynn, there were a couple camps of people.
Speaker 1: There were the Stones people and there were the Beatles people.
Speaker 1: I was in both camps. Did you have a favorite
Speaker 1: when you were growing up? Did you enjoy this kind
Speaker 1: of music or were you more listening to pop when
Speaker 1: you were young.
Speaker 3: I mean, I will say that my first decade on
Speaker 3: the planet was in the best decade for music, which
Speaker 3: is the seventies. And I only say this because when
Speaker 3: I look back, those are the years that the bands
Speaker 3: got in the studios with each other and played together
Speaker 3: and there was like no better sound than when you know,
Speaker 3: everyone was in a room looking at each other, vibing, you.
Speaker 1: Know, playing live.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: And then eighties, of course, you know, it went through
Speaker 3: the disco, and then in the eighties pop and all
Speaker 3: you know, MTV. Right, So so I'd have to say
Speaker 3: probably lean more towards the Beatles.
Speaker 2: I know that sounds weird because they were No it
Speaker 2: doesn't earlier, but no, it doesn't.
Speaker 3: It seemed like everybody in the seventies and eighties were
Speaker 3: inspired by that.
Speaker 1: Yeah. In nineteen seventy seven, on this date, the twenty sixth,
Speaker 1: Elvis played his last concert in Indianapolis. This was this
Speaker 1: was about a month, a little less than a month
Speaker 1: before his death. He died in August in nineteen seventy seven.
Speaker 1: And this was this was bad Elvis. This was jumpsuit,
Speaker 1: pork chop, sideburns, a lot of pharmaceuticals, a lot of
Speaker 1: a lot of ick. Speaking of ick, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of ick with fat, with fat Elvis.
Speaker 3: Whenever I close my eyes, I always see him though,
Speaker 3: in that black leather outfit from sixty eight.
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about We're going to talk about
Speaker 1: the sixty eight special in a minute, because it's coming up,
Speaker 1: the anniversary of that's coming up. Wow, And and that's listen,
Speaker 1: that's the good look in Elvis. Yeah, you know, even
Speaker 1: even as a heterosexual guy. I can look at that
Speaker 1: and go man, Elvis is a hot piece of even
Speaker 1: sweaty Elvis.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So in eighty nine, bon Jovi, his New Jersey
Speaker 1: tour actually ended up in Moscow, and this was really
Speaker 1: something that that solidified their global dominance. I I was
Speaker 1: never a huge bon Jovi fan. I appreciate him. I
Speaker 1: think he's a there's you know, arguably he's a great
Speaker 1: guy and he's kind to everyone that to meet him.
Speaker 1: Were you a bon Jovi? Are you a bonjo Yeah?
Speaker 2: Come on, yeah, is that even a question.
Speaker 1: It's not, it's not.
Speaker 2: It was the hair and all the hair, and.
Speaker 1: He's still a good looking guy. I just saw a
Speaker 1: video of him at a wedding some years ago where
Speaker 1: you know, the wedding band is playing Living on a
Speaker 1: Prayer and they walk up to him as they're singing
Speaker 1: his song and he's like, give me the microphone and
Speaker 1: he goes up on stage to sing it.
Speaker 2: Good good sport, Yes, definitely a good sport.
Speaker 3: I've interviewed him quite a few times and always always willing.
Speaker 1: To be a good guy and a handsome fellow.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Nineteen sixty eight June twenty seventh is the next day.
Speaker 1: And here's where we come in to play with this
Speaker 1: conversation about the comeback special, the sixty eight comeback special
Speaker 1: for Elvis, the leather suit in Burbank, in front of
Speaker 1: a TV audience. What we see on television is not
Speaker 1: the way it happened, you know, because you've done television
Speaker 1: for a long time. There's a lot of takes and retakes,
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of downtime in television. Why is that?
Speaker 1: Why is there so much it's called.
Speaker 2: Hurry up and wait?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, just just so many moving parts and the
Speaker 3: audience Usually when you're taping something like that, the audience
Speaker 3: is part of the show. Although they think they're there
Speaker 3: to watch the show, they really are, like they're working
Speaker 3: as much as everyone on the sets.
Speaker 1: Because they're being directed in the sense, went to applaud,
Speaker 1: how to behave, how to respond, Yeah, all of that.
Speaker 1: It gets taped in Burbank, and this leads to a
Speaker 1: huge comeback for Elvis. And sadly nine years later was
Speaker 1: you know, was when he died. But he looked good
Speaker 1: in sixty eight, skinny in his leather suit, in that
Speaker 1: red guitar.
Speaker 3: And yeah, and if you catch the reinventing Elvis doc
Speaker 3: it is. It's done by the guy who was in
Speaker 3: charge at CBS at the time, so he tells the
Speaker 3: whole story and it's just unbelievable, Like he was cut.
Speaker 2: Off from Elvis, couldn't talk to him because of.
Speaker 1: I watched it and I was just blown away by by.
Speaker 3: It, right, and all the people who were at that
Speaker 3: stage when they were filming it, you know, cut to
Speaker 3: today they tell the story of being there and it's.
Speaker 1: Pretty amazing to see him. Yeah, see him now. The
Speaker 1: Almond Brothers did a series of a legendary run of
Speaker 1: concerts at the film More East and West over the years,
Speaker 1: and it was on this date in nineteen seventy one
Speaker 1: that they closed the film More East. Almond Brothers played
Speaker 1: that final show and a big.
Speaker 2: Deal there, big deal, big deal.
Speaker 3: One of my most favorite time spent working ever was
Speaker 3: getting to work with him.
Speaker 1: To Greg Almond, Yeah, oh no, will tell me what.
Speaker 2: It was huge. It was so big.
Speaker 3: I was working at A and E at the time,
Speaker 3: and it was so big that he came in. It
Speaker 3: was after he had had like he had livered transplant.
Speaker 1: You know, he liked his booze.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but he came in like just a few
Speaker 3: months after that, which was amazing. But at the time
Speaker 3: on A and E, the big show was Dog the
Speaker 3: Bounty Hunter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he happened.
Speaker 3: To be at the studio that day, so him and
Speaker 3: his wife then when she was still alive, and they
Speaker 3: were waiting in my dressing room for Greg to finish,
Speaker 3: because we would have them do the songs first in
Speaker 3: the studio and then I would go in and reset
Speaker 3: and we'd do the interview.
Speaker 2: And he just wanted to meet him so bad, like
Speaker 2: he didn't he wanted to meet No dog, Dog wanted
Speaker 2: to meet Greg.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. It was like yeah,
Speaker 1: big deal.
Speaker 2: Lyne down the hall, you know it was. It was
Speaker 2: pretty crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I had a little brush with Greg once and
Speaker 1: I felt the same way. I thought, I need to meet,
Speaker 1: I need.
Speaker 2: To meet And what a sweet sweet.
Speaker 1: Man I did. I wasn't able to get close to her.
Speaker 1: I was backstage. It was everything. I just couldn't. He
Speaker 1: was hurried buy me so but I'm sure the interview
Speaker 1: was great, right, you enjoyed it?
Speaker 2: Oh, my god, best best ever?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I was.
Speaker 2: I was one of the ones where I was really nervous.
Speaker 1: Yeah. June twenty ninth, Mick Jagger Keith Richard's were arrested
Speaker 1: and found guilty on drug charges in London. I didn't
Speaker 1: research this completely, but I believe these charges are all
Speaker 1: related to marijuana.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, Well, during the police raid at Keith richards.
Speaker 2: London mansion, I guess it was his home.
Speaker 3: They were illegally possessing four tablets containing amphetamine sulfate and
Speaker 3: methyl and fetamine hydrochloride. Keith Richard's charge with allowing his
Speaker 3: house to be used for the purpose of smoking cannabis.
Speaker 2: Jagger and Richards put not guilty.
Speaker 3: But outside the court a crowd of young fans were
Speaker 3: waiting to see the stars. But two of the men
Speaker 3: were driven away into chauffeurd car into the back of
Speaker 3: the building, and a third man was a charge with
Speaker 3: possession of heroin. So maybe it was the drug dealers outside.
Speaker 1: Oh gosh. So here's the thing. They weren't really arrested
Speaker 1: for the cannabis. There was meth, some sort of methane
Speaker 1: family some speed they were doing. There was more.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because they were working all hours of the day
Speaker 3: and night trying to get music downe.
Speaker 1: Are you making excuses for the use of the amphetamine
Speaker 1: for the upper Well.
Speaker 3: I mean the thing I think the thing of at
Speaker 3: the time was is they weren't a private residence, so like,
Speaker 3: how do you go barge into someone's home and say
Speaker 3: you can't do that?
Speaker 2: Like that?
Speaker 1: That was a constitutional issue for you, isn't it. You're
Speaker 1: like like a cute version of Alan Levin.
Speaker 2: I want to go that far.
Speaker 1: In nineteen sixty eight, Pink Floyd did the first free
Speaker 1: concert at Hyde Park in London. This was a big
Speaker 1: deal for Pink Floyd, a big deal for their fans,
Speaker 1: and a monster event in London's Hyph Park. First free concert,
Speaker 1: Hi Park. Were you are you? Pink Floyd fan?
Speaker 2: Huge?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Love, comfortably numb, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3: The first time I saw the Wall was I was
Speaker 3: eighteen and I was at my friend's bar in Roanoak, Virginia,
Speaker 3: and they made me a Long Island iced tea and
Speaker 3: I had never I thought it was just a regular
Speaker 3: iced tea.
Speaker 2: I didn't know.
Speaker 3: And he handed it to me and said good night,
Speaker 3: And I watched the Wall and yeah.
Speaker 1: The Long Island iced He is a giant trick. You know,
Speaker 1: it's as you know, it's five shots or six shots.
Speaker 1: It was ugly here you go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I woke up on my head was on the bar.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I managed to stay up for the whole movie.
Speaker 2: For the wall, they tell me.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right. In nineteen seventy four, Neil Young, Joni
Speaker 1: Mitchell and the Eagles played at Wemley and this was
Speaker 1: a monster folk rock kind of event in London. The
Speaker 1: folk rock took over London for that event. It was
Speaker 1: very well attended and you know a handful of people
Speaker 1: that are very well recognized even to this day for
Speaker 1: their contributions to folk and that kind of rock.
Speaker 3: So I feel like Buzz would have a lot more
Speaker 3: to speak of on this matter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, we're both fans of and we talked about
Speaker 1: this in depth. Were both fans of the Eagles, were
Speaker 1: both big Neil Young fans. I'm a monster Neil Young fan.
Speaker 1: With Neil Young, I didn't appreciate him until I got older.
Speaker 1: I might have just I might have been in my fifties.
Speaker 1: It might have been like last eight nine years.
Speaker 3: It was the port chop sideburns, right. It was like
Speaker 3: the only other artists who could wear them.
Speaker 1: It's it's very funny because you and I had this
Speaker 1: discussion with Buzz the other day, we're trying to figure
Speaker 1: out people with pork chop sideburns, and Buzz did say
Speaker 1: Neil Young for it, and it's true, We'll take Neil
Speaker 1: Young for the win. But just you know, a bunch
Speaker 1: of amazing and wonderful songs that he's written, and I think,
Speaker 1: I just think the guy's got the voice of an angel.
Speaker 1: So and Joni Mitchell Court and Spark is one of
Speaker 1: my favorite albums of all times. So all three of
Speaker 1: those bands, Eagles, Neil Young and his band, and Joni Mitchell,
Speaker 1: I just I adore all them. So that was it favor.
Speaker 2: What's your favorite Eagle song?
Speaker 1: You know, I think I want to say now And
Speaker 1: it wasn't this way always because we played it so
Speaker 1: much on the radio. But I have a tremendous appreciation
Speaker 1: for Hotel California. Oh it's just epic. I love the
Speaker 1: opening acoustic guitar. I love the guitar solo at the

Speaker 1: Paul Schaeffer about how he came up with the opening
Speaker 1: for Life in the fast Lane, and he said it
Speaker 1: was a warm up exercise he used to do backstage
Speaker 1: before concerts, and someone heard it, someone from the band,
Speaker 1: Glenn Frye or someone heard it and said we're going
Speaker 1: to do something with that, and then the next thing,
Speaker 1: you know, it's Life in the fast Lane. So I've
Speaker 1: got a bunch of favorites. What about you.
Speaker 3: I was just going to say it was a Hotel California,
Speaker 3: hands down, But then New York Minute really, oh, one
Speaker 3: of my.
Speaker 1: All time all time and that's Henley their rendition, their
Speaker 1: rendition of of of New York Minute, Henley's song is
Speaker 1: so Good from Hell Freezes Over or one of the
Speaker 1: live albums.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, yeah, it was definitely live.
Speaker 1: You know. I just the Eagles are a band. It's
Speaker 1: came on in the kitchen the other night, didn't like Peaceful,
Speaker 1: Easy Feeling or Tequila Sunrise while we were all cooking
Speaker 1: dinner and hanging out or watching you cook in the kitchen.
Speaker 1: But one of the one of those songs came on,
Speaker 1: and and and two of the three people in the
