We talked so much about Lenny Kravitz's 0:00:03.840 --> 0:00:06.720 life in Part one of Course Love Supreme Interview with 0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:10.560 Lenny Kravitz. Uh So check that episode out and now 0:00:10.640 --> 0:00:13.960 here's part two of our exclusive two part interview with 0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:25.120 a great Lenny Kravitz of Course Love Supreme. So when 0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:28.280 you got to Mama said, Mama said, was a complete 0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:32.160 reaction to what was going on. That's one, at least 0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:36.599 at myself mine too. It might be of the old ones, 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:39.360 might be my favorite. Is it hard for you to? Okay? 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:41.520 So I'm saying, is that the type of album where 0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:45.680 you're like, you're done with it? And that's well, I'm 0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:48.520 done with every album when it's done. I'm done with everything. 0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:52.120 Once it's finished, I'm onto the next. But um, I 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:54.760 love that record, and uh I don't regret a thing, 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.640 you know, But the pressure of you still singing like 0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:00.720 in it over till it's over, Like in your mind, 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:03.800 is she's still the target of that song? Like can you? 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:05.880 I mean, it's her song, you know. And it's actually 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:08.880 really interesting because I mean, we're we're best friends. We're 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:12.440 back to brother and sister, we're best friends. I'm with 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.759 her kids, her husband were all together. Everybody's it's one 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:18.160 big family, which is the way it should be. But 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.679 she came to She hadn't been to a show in 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:25.039 a million years since we were together. She had not 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:27.800 been to a show, and she came to a show 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:31.560 on the Struck tour, and she was with Zoe. And 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:34.720 it's the first time Zoe's seen her mom at my show. 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:38.840 So here's all of us and I'm singing these songs. 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:45.000 I my mama said that her. Your mama wasn't at 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:47.760 the show too in New York. Yes, were you there 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:51.760 at the Webster? Yes, and we're doing those clubs. Wait, 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:53.480 that's the first time she saw you? Yes, in the 0:01:53.520 --> 0:02:02.560 second Yes, I want but she it was I looked up. 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.040 I wasn't. I didn't know if I looked up, and 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:09.120 I saw I was watching her hands and both of 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:12.160 them with this look on their face. And it was 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:14.040 beautiful because it was it was the first for all 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:17.440 of us, right, And then I guess towards the end 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:20.200 of the show, they actually ran out, went to the 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:24.160 to the DELI went to the shop and got flowers 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:28.080 and were throwing flowers at the stage. It was a thing. 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:30.359 It was beautiful. I had hoped for a little bit 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:34.800 because I was, you know, watching her like I was 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.560 turning on to freaker out, but I kept watching her 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:39.840 like watching I was like, Yo, she's really engaged in this. 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:44.920 And you know you remember that moment where like interrupted 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:53.880 the right you want a different world. Why do you 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:58.880 see what we're dealing with here? I mean I was 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:03.640 on that. I was on that it. No, it was. 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:08.320 It was really cool to see how amicable. So no, 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:10.600 the record is is a beautiful memory and I have 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.840 no problem with those songs. Are singing him or what was? 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:20.440 Can I ask what was her reaction to first hearing it? Then? Yeah, 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.120 I don't know. At that point it was it wasn't 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:26.600 It wasn't like that. So it wasn't like you finished it, 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:36.080 I'm not you know. Yeah. It was more more than 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:41.720 anything in the world. Was that one was a state 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:45.080 of depression. There was a two week period where I 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:48.760 didn't sleep where I was. I had had a guy 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:53.080 living with me, like just watching me like I was 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:55.640 ready to jump out the window. It was bad. I 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.120 wasn't sleeping, I wasn't eating. You can hear that shit 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:00.800 in your voice. That song was cut on a on 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:03.920 a what was it called Porter Studio. It was caught 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:09.160 on the Porter Studio on a cassette the track, uh, 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:11.280 and then I and then I and then I went 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.960 to Waterfront and then I over did the overdubs. But 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.359 we started on a cassette in this room and this 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:22.520 laft that man, I was gone, that that song was 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:24.760 the was was the deepest period of that record for 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:28.880 me emotionally, which was more than anything in this world. 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.599 I'm one of I'm glad you said that because I've 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.480 been trying to figure out it was the drum sound 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.520 for that. Let's just buy a four track already or 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:41.160 dig one out of your eighteen stories. I think I 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:45.720 think it's the Alessies, the little Gray Alessies, a little 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:49.320 flat one, the curve, that drum machine with the tape slap. 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:53.320 And also, yeah, the reason why I knew that it 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:56.760 was real because you you sang so dry on it. 0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:00.000 It was just like some fifty seven line around the apart. 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:03.159 Yeah you're saying no, but even your vocal like you 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:08.200 didn't put you didn't do any inflections on it. And 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:11.440 I was just like yo, and I was cheering for you. 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:18.040 Listen to this ship. It was because when I heard it, 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:21.120 you know one of those songs, you know, one of 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.120 those songs you can just got rewind over and over. 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.760 And I had the cassette, so you know, I get 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:31.800 the anything. Yeah. Yeah, And then like I wore that 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.359 tape out and I was just like, all right, Lenny, 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:38.840 I believe in this performance. You gotta. I felt if 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.960 you did a video, no, actually you probably went to 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.640 jail and you gotta restrain in order. I was like, 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:48.560 you gotta say anything this song. You gotta set up 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:56.080 on her lorn recording the video that's called harassment because 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:08.680 you know why is that street harassment? That's a real thing. 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.320 But let me ask this because you you were straight honest, 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:14.960 and it's it's great as a fan, like people appreciate 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:16.800 that you had the first album that was about falling 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:18.480 in love and then you had the other album that was, 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.520 you know, about the opposite. And I guess as an artist, 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:23.400 when you're sitting there writing this album, you're going through 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:25.000 all your emotions. You're like, I gotta get to shut 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:26.800 out and get it out. But then you put the 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.000 album out and you have to do promo and press 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:33.240 around it, right, So yeah, like, how do you do that, 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:35.600 and at what point? And even now, like, I'm so 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:37.880 grateful that you are open and you're still not tired 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.560 of talking about this chapter because it's important to your 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:42.760 love it. On the tour now, I'm singing songs that 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.560 I'm doing saying by my Woman and different songs from 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:47.920 that album. I mean, but how do you do that? Like, 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.400 how do you do the promo off of these albums? 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:52.520 Too different? Well, then I'm sure it was a different thing, 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:55.840 but now they're just these like beautiful memories you know 0:06:56.000 --> 0:07:01.640 in parts of my life that you know, Um, they're 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:07.040 still there. How did how did you? Were you disappointing 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:10.600 that black radio didn't really pick up one in over 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.200 till its obver because I felt, I don't know what. 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.040 The TV started playing the ship out on the charts 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.000 that went number so the pop would have been that 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:22.840 straight pop that was number two with a bullet because uh, 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:25.360 what's his name? Had that Robin Hood song? That would 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:29.640 not they had that. They had that movie money and 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:35.239 I sat id number two with a bullet three weeks 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:37.880 and they put that last bit of money on that 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:43.120 thing as four number three. Um, so I went number two. 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:44.200 I don't know what it did on the R and 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:45.960 B charts. I don't even did they even did they 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:48.520 even promoted to not to say that Black radio couldn't 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:50.840 just picked it up, but did they even sell it promoted? 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.720 Black radio always used to kind of be like, yeah, 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:58.160 that's nice, you know, like I go do promotion. Did 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:01.320 they send you to Jack the Rapper or the rapper? 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:09.559 Prince Prince did Jack the Rapper? R and B people? 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:19.920 Did Jack company Kevin Hart so much? My kids? No, 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:23.160 no b R E, no Gavin, no Jack the Rapper. 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:27.760 I'm guessing b r A sounds familiar. That was black 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:32.199 radio X wasn't. But it was like I would go. 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:35.880 But I did do Soul Train, yeah, the right, because 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.880 we loved it. But it was always like all right, great, 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:42.000 could do an interview joke and then it's like, yeah, 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:46.280 we'll play it twice. That's how that's yours. That's what 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.680 I'm saying. That it went number ten on R. Okay, 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:53.280 that's not bad because we knew, we knew he existed, 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:55.000 we knew we loved the music. We just didn't know 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:58.199 we couldn't. It was just not what they wanted. I've 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:03.720 never I guess besides that, I don't know, I don't, 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:08.199 I don't remember. But black radio. You know you're big 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:20.640 on Russian jew radio. What's thet st with with with 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:26.480 Gonna go My way? Um and things? Totally breaking this? 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:28.600 First of all, how did it happen? Now? How did 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:33.120 you finally break the ceiling into one track? First of all, 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.839 who knew that that track had nothing to do with 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:45.040 Hit Records Radio? No dude, it did. But post Team Spirit, 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:49.040 adrenaline rock was still a thing. It just felt. It 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:52.559 felt like a locomotive train. I didn't see it, Okay, 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.319 I didn't see it coming. We cut the track. We 0:09:55.440 --> 0:10:00.880 cut that track in five minutes because of the state, 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:03.480 because another session was coming in. I was still on 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.680 that tip even on my third album. The next session 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:11.160 was coming in. I couldn't even block that out. There's 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:13.719 some there's some great feeling Games taught us called the 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:18.280 alpha state, where when you don't overthink ship and and 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:21.400 don't and you just do it and don't you know, 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:24.160 we're like this and the next clients in the lounge 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:26.319 and it's like it's getting that thing where we're kind 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:29.160 of five minutes over there thing and they get and 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:35.000 we're in there. Da da damn that puts your subconscious 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:38.199 in the state of perfection that you're not even aware of. 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.400 And then I had the track. I went home, wrote 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:43.480 the lyric and the melody because it was just a jam. 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:47.000 I had no idea of melody. Wrote these words, wrote 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:50.080 that sang it. It was like, Okay, record comes out. 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.760 They just said it's gonna be a single. They're working 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:55.520 it and working it and working it, trying to make 0:10:55.559 --> 0:11:00.199 it happen. Weeks going by, nothing's happening. I think big 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.960 part of the success of that song was the visual 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:08.160 I met um Well, not well that, yeah, Cindy begin 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:12.200 came out of it, but but um marc Romanic, the director. 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:15.360 I met him, threw Jeff Earroff, who signed me, and 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.280 we took a walk on the East River and talked 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:22.160 about let's make a video and the space and then 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:27.120 and the light and then then that came. Then MTV 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:31.599 didn't want to play it. They're pushing and pushing. Not 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:35.120 at first, you gotta like work and get it on 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:36.959 the thing, and then the slow thing and then and 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:41.160 then you were already already pretty established. But you know 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:45.160 it was it didn't happen right away. They worked that 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:51.720 record for But when it was about to go away, 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.679 it was about to be done, and something happened and 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:58.199 then just went blam and that was hit. You know, 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:01.839 that was it? Yeah, but it was a moment. It 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:12.679 was a moment. It almost didn't happen. Damn, Wait a minute. 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.079 You want to go to that show you I forgot 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:19.880 You produced one of my favorite records, Vanessa Paradis debut. Okay, 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:27.280 you're so smart. You always you always get it backchally okaysa. 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:31.040 I was producing Vanessa's album at the same time, and 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:36.040 it was Vanessa waiting to come to her session, so 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:38.760 it was her session, but I had to still work 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:41.599 right but she was ready to then come in it 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:48.040 was her time, and it was like she can't hear 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:53.880 this well, it was kind of like we were cutting tracks. 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:59.400 I was cutting tracks for her that obviously would have 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:03.280 been too too hard for her. But when I when 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:05.160 we first were cutting it, I didn't know who it 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:07.240 was for. I was doing my stuff and I was 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.719 doing Vanessa's at the same time, so it was just like, 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:15.360 let's just hurry up and just take this one home. Yeah. Yeah, 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:19.280 So that record was made at the same time. Hoboken. Also, 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:21.880 all of that was in Hoboken. Yeah, the Vanessa Parity 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:24.880 Record and are you gonna come out? I did everything 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:29.839 up to Circus in there. Circus was part of New York, 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:35.120 part Bahamas. Yeah, and wait we're in Hoboken. And it 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:37.480 was a building called the Della Quilla Building was it's 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:41.520 fifteenth in Washington and it was this big ugly brown 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:47.360 and yellow yellow windows, spray painted sweat shop. Factory people people, 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:51.000 and they're making purses and sweaters and ship still now 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:58.040 it's a fabulous condominium everything. Yeah, damn. But it was 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:01.160 waterfront Yeah. Wait, so the T Building that is it now? 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:03.040 The T Building, I don't know what it's at the 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.160 end that he didn't wash. It's at the end, that 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.960 big building. And they used to be like a smoke stack. 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:11.160 I don't know if that's gone. Are still there? But yeah, wow, 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:21.760 okay you skipped over. You have a change. Okay. So 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:26.720 my number one question about it, yes, why did they 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:31.120 not clear security of the first world? Because I just 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:32.640 chucked like do you feel a certain way? He was 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:34.440 like no, you know what, I don't care. We had 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:37.280 a thing for a minute. They were like they were like, well, 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:38.880 we're gonna come after you. And I was like, well, 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:41.840 you sampled it from this and added and then I 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:45.320 don't know it, but is the version of drummer? Right? 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:53.680 I forgot the original sample. It's no, no, it's Iom 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:57.600 trying to do funky drummer on the drum machine. It was. 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:07.040 But once I got the yeah, I recognized what Joanna 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:14.440 came from because there's a cowboy in there. It's just yeah, 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:21.160 you're right. So at the time, like, uh, well, I 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:25.040 was in the studio doing this thing, and I had 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:30.480 this guy with me, um who I was going to 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:32.840 play the drums or do something, but they don't have 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:34.840 the mics together. So I was like, I just need 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.120 a beat. That's kind of like this I needed. And 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:39.920 this guy gave me the beat. I didn't know what 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:43.160 I didn't even know what it was. He's just like, here, 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:46.040 use this, and I was like, oh, ship, that's bad. 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:50.200 I mean, that's that's great, right, And then I put 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:52.960 the strings and the stuff, and and then I don't know, 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:55.640 if you know, when Madonna's talking, I'm in the back 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:59.880 singing this melody falsetto that was meant to be the 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:03.200 That was the scratch track of the melody of the song. 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:08.240 But then afterwards you know Ingrid wrote the words to 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:12.840 to to the song, and she started writing this poetry 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:15.440 thing to it. So I was like, okay, well that's dope. 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:18.440 So we just left my melody in the back as 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:22.080 this sort of distant voice. Do you do you know 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.760 the story of the master reel or the master reel 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:29.840 of Justify My Love? I think this happened after the fact. Okay, 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:34.680 so we're working on our album. Whoever the assistant engineer 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:40.280 was for for Justified My Love. I guess there's once 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:42.520 the final mix was done or whatever, and they're like, 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:46.200 because we cut Madonna. It wasn't the Waterfront. She wasn't 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:50.000 gonna come out to Jersey, so it was placed in 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:51.920 the city. I don't New York. The studio that I 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:53.720 don't even he was the remember which one it was, right, 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:56.600 So he was he's there during the time when you're 0:16:56.600 --> 0:17:03.200 cutting vocals with Madonna, and so all right, something happens 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:07.399 and he says he got fired from He said it 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:10.760 wasn't you or or you know, but the studio fired 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:17.040 him because, uh he accidentally erased or chipped a bad 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:20.600 edit or like accidentally a race part of her vocal 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:25.520 voke right at the at the end of the process 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:30.960 by accident and he got fired, and but you weren't 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:33.320 aware of that. So the story is going completely nowhere. 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:40.119 But I have a follow up question. Have you ever 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:47.200 heard I'll Be Sure's version of Justify Your Love? Why 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:51.879 do you know it was?

And 0:21:59.280 --> 0:22:02.120 I you know, I'm happy I did it and it's cool. 0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:09.159 But sorry, yeah it sounds really good. But okay, I 0:22:09.280 --> 0:22:12.960 have I have a general I have a general rule 0:22:13.040 --> 0:22:15.680 about like working with your idols or whatever, like people 0:22:15.680 --> 0:22:18.040 that you learn because it could go one way or 0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:21.080 the other where if they're too famous, you can't tell 0:22:21.160 --> 0:22:23.720 them nothing. But I had them to do with it, 0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:25.720 like it wasn't my production, It wasn't my thing. It 0:22:25.840 --> 0:22:30.000 wasn't it just you know, did you wish you had 0:22:30.160 --> 0:22:33.359 control that song? I mean, did they check you out 0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:35.399 of your old Okay, that's what I'm trying to go 0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:39.280 with it. Was it too clean? Yeah it was, but 0:22:40.280 --> 0:22:47.639 it was we're talking about Bill Withers. But then again 0:22:48.240 --> 0:22:52.160 it was a matter what. It was different, and that's cool. 0:22:52.400 --> 0:22:54.920 You know it was different. But just in looking back, 0:22:55.080 --> 0:22:57.600 I know you're not trying to drive anybody under the 0:22:57.760 --> 0:23:00.720 drive anybody, roll anybody over the bus. I get on 0:23:00.800 --> 0:23:05.520 a Mick Jagger album, Oh shit, I am Oh, you 0:23:05.680 --> 0:23:14.760 just snitched on me. I forgot only a couple of 0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:17.359 years ago. I forgot. I'm looking up he got like 0:23:18.320 --> 0:23:19.920 I want to know, But it wasn't. It was like 0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:22.960 he did a project with which Marley at the moment, 0:23:23.280 --> 0:23:28.000 it's like the probably probably it's like d Marley Johnstone. 0:23:29.040 --> 0:23:33.920 They had a band Dave Stewart. Yeah, it was on 0:23:34.040 --> 0:23:38.520 the thing was Alfie soundtrack, right, they did a whole 0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:42.920 album and like the thing was he called me directly 0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:46.040 and I thought it was Jimmy trying to funk with me. 0:23:47.600 --> 0:23:51.000 It was no, you know, Mick Jack and I was like, 0:23:51.400 --> 0:23:53.879 all right, just like everyone that has that type of 0:23:53.920 --> 0:23:56.560 story where it takes you fifteen minutes to believe it. 0:23:56.640 --> 0:23:58.680 I hung up. I called Jimmy. I'm like a waiting. 0:23:58.800 --> 0:24:03.560 Jimmy's like, no, it wasn't me. And finally I realized 0:24:03.600 --> 0:24:07.600 that it was Mick Jagger calling me, and but I 0:24:07.680 --> 0:24:12.040 love Nick. I mean, jack Man, you must say no 0:24:12.160 --> 0:24:14.440 what to a lot though, right because you don't.

It 0:25:03.840 --> 0:25:06.040 just went from a pickle. We're trying to push this 0:25:06.160 --> 0:25:09.600 timeline here to get him out something else. Because I 0:25:09.600 --> 0:25:11.840 would talk to her today and yeah, she told me 0:25:11.840 --> 0:25:15.120 to tell you she loves you. She's probably after they've 0:25:15.160 --> 0:25:20.399 been on the show. I talked to Creed that that 0:25:20.520 --> 0:25:23.280 was a moment. That's that's when I was making a 0:25:23.280 --> 0:25:26.960 live I know, the same time, both those at the 0:25:27.000 --> 0:25:31.280 same time in the Bahamas. Yeah, she's and she got robbed. 0:25:31.840 --> 0:25:35.920 She got robbed. They didn't know what to do. She 0:25:36.040 --> 0:25:38.320 was just earlier. I think she was early. She super early. 0:25:38.560 --> 0:25:41.280 She was super early. The label like folded, it was 0:25:41.359 --> 0:25:43.639 like a whole it was. She still Freddy too, so 0:25:43.800 --> 0:25:49.080 that was like I was in college. But it's those 0:25:49.160 --> 0:25:53.040 that know no that record Lane Sleep. They're stole it 0:25:53.080 --> 0:25:56.159 from me. So you know, you know what I did, 0:25:56.280 --> 0:25:59.760 steal it from you? You gave me. Yeah, my bad. 0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:02.440 That's sorry, that's cool, but I got your jobs. So 0:26:02.760 --> 0:26:05.760 you know we even though we are. But will y'all 0:26:05.800 --> 0:26:10.119 ever meet again? Absolutely, We've been talking about it, that thing. 0:26:10.400 --> 0:26:13.000 I've just been so busy finishing this record. But yes, 0:26:14.119 --> 0:26:18.320 that would be just a pleasure with five that rate. 0:26:18.560 --> 0:26:23.920 We skipped an albums. Oh yes, back to the Boss. 0:26:25.520 --> 0:26:31.000 Yes we did Circus. Why why did everybody like that record? 0:26:31.119 --> 0:26:33.280 I don't get it. I remember the lead wasn't they 0:26:33.280 --> 0:26:36.280 had to leave ruined? Was it vibe or I don't 0:26:36.320 --> 0:26:38.720 know it was. I remember that I wanted to read 0:26:38.720 --> 0:26:40.320 in an early review on it, and it was either 0:26:40.560 --> 0:26:42.760 vibe but they gave you the lead review and they 0:26:42.840 --> 0:26:44.760 were kind of dismissive about it. They wouldn't have got that. 0:26:44.880 --> 0:26:48.159 But the thing is, and my fan like the like 0:26:48.280 --> 0:26:52.240 the fan fans, that's their record. Yeah, yeah, it's But 0:26:52.400 --> 0:26:57.320 the thing is is that have we known any musician 0:26:58.320 --> 0:27:02.960
