It's just inside of me. You know. 74 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 2: It's such a great, a perfect place to be as 75 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 2: a musician. 76 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 4: Can you talk about some of the artists musically that 77 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 4: inspired you and inspire you to this day? 78 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean there was. The list is endless. 79 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 2: It goes on and on and on. But a lot 80 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 2: of the soft pops from the seventies like seeped into 81 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 2: my seeped into my brain because we listened so much, 82 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 2: you know, the great writing of the Beg's and Bread 83 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 2: and the Carpenters, and I mean again, the list goes 84 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 2: on and on, and then when I started really choosing 85 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 2: my own music specifically even more. Although I did buy 86 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 2: like Kenny Logins Tragedy, but or the Beg's Tragedy or 87 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 2: Kenny Loggins This is It. I loved David Bowie so 88 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 2: much and his songwriting The Cure the Police was a 89 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 2: huge one for me. Led Zeppelin, Queen Out and John 90 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 2: like the list really goes on and on. They inspired 91 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 2: me so much, and it's funny when I listened back, 92 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 2: I think a lot of those folks is very rock, 93 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 2: but especially that David Bowie and The Cure and a 94 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 2: couple of others. They have a lot of acoustic guitar 95 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 2: with the rock as well. So it's some of those 96 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 2: artists have always inspired me and still do. 97 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 5: I have to think since you've worked with Belinda Carlisle, 98 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 5: she somebody that certainly inspired you. 99 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 3: In a big way. 100 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I love the Go Gos so much. I 101 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 2: loved listening to the Go Gos. It's crazy to think 102 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 2: now that I'm friendly with the Go Gos. It's just something. 103 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 2: One of my best friends and I who too wanted 104 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:04,679 Speaker 2: to go see the Go Gos when we were in 105 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 2: high school. Like we got to go to their band 106 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 2: practice in Los Angeles and be the only ones in 107 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 2: the room other than Belinda's son, and I was like, Oh, 108 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 2: I want your guitar picks. I was getting their guitar picks. 109 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 2: I got to go on the road with Belinda Carlisle. 110 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 2: It's such an unusual thing when you get to become 111 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 2: friendly with people that you admire to be. It's kind 112 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 2: of a dual existence. It's very unusual, but I still 113 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 2: lovelessen to the go Gos. They've just got such great 114 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 2: songs and energy to the energy and the music. 115 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 4: Tell me about how excited you are for the Straight 116 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 4: No Chasers Summer of the Nineties tour. 117 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 2: You know, I'm really excited about it because Straight No Chaser. 118 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 2: I love that they are who they are. You know, 119 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 2: it's like a group of guys who are singing a cappella. 120 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 2: Music blows me away. You know, you're like looking for 121 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 2: the instruments. It sounds like there must be instruments up 122 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 2: on stage, but it's literally them singing. It's sort of 123 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,679 Speaker 2: like the ultimate live show where you get to actually 124 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 2: see and hear people singing the songs they choose. They 125 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 2: do all covers mostly, and they're all songs that we love, 126 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 2: and so that also really draws me in. And I 127 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 2: think the audience is kind of a listening audience, which 128 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 2: is the same as my audience. You know, I've got 129 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 2: a great audience who comes prepared to like be engaged 130 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 2: to listen to hear some hits that they know to 131 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 2: maybe here's some songs they don't know but they can, 132 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 2: you know, enjoy I love. 133 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 4: The radio show on Sirius XM.

This is a band that I 273 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 2: can make this record. And so we got together and 274 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 2: had been working on it and it's finally coming out. 275 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 2: There's a few videos up on YouTube Lisa lob official 276 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 2: YouTube channel, and you'll see it's like very authentic old timey. 277 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 2: For me, it brings back a lot of memories of 278 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 2: my childhood.

Other times it was really cool. We were 285 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 2: going through security the other day, my son and I 286 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 2: and the TSA, the very tough seeming TSA person saw 287 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 2: my idea as I took my mask off. I still 288 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 2: wear masks when I travel because I'm a singer, and 289 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 2: I took my mask off, and she said she literally 290 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 2: almost started crying, and she was like, oh my gosh. 291 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 2: She could barely speak, put her hand on her heart. 292 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 2: She's like, I'm a fan. This means so much to me, 293 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 2: and I really appreciate that. That means a lot to 294 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 2: me as well. But it was cute to see my 295 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 2: son say, you know, that's really neat mom. When that happens, 296 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 2: that's really cool.

Because I'm obsessed with popcorn. 304 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 2: I love Alton Brown's popcorn recipe. You know Alton Brown, 305 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 2: He's like a scientist and a chef. He if you 306 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 2: go online you can find it, but he suggests and 307 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 2: popcorn is one of my favorite favorite foods. And he 308 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 2: shows you how you can make your own microwave popcorn, 309 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 2: which is like a paper bag with popcorn and oil. 310 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 2: And you make your own popcorn salt by putting your 311 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 2: salt in a food process or making it really powdery, 312 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 2: and you put the salt in there with the popcorn 313 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 2: as you're making it, so it goes into the popcorn 314 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 2: if you want salt. But also on the stove, you 315 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 2: take an actual metal bowl because the heat conducts properly. 316 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 2: You put the popcorn and the oil in there, cover 317 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 2: it with foil, poke a few holes, and then shake 318 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 2: it over a medium flame. It is the perfect Chris 319 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 2: Delicious popcorn. It will make any night a magical festival 320 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 2: of delight. 321 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 3: Lisa Loe, you're the best.
