Speaker 1: Walk podcast, and welcome to another edition of This Week

00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 1: in Music History. This is for the week of September

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: one to the seventh. I turned to my left. Wait

5
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 1: a minute, no, I turned to my right. No oh,

6
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: I steer straight ahead. There he is at the music

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: history desk, Harry Jacobs.

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 2: Hello, Harry, nice to see you again. It's like a

9
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 2: like a video. Hokey pokey. It is your left foot,

10
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 2: your left foot out. I don't think I hurt my

11
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 2: neck by doing that, thankfully. And one of our loyal

12
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: listeners to this, Justin of the infamous Cheese Shop and Conquered.

13
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: He said, maybe you can do a This Week in

14
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: Music History without something from the Beatles, But I don't

15
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: know if that's possible. But anyway, I think what you're

16
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 2: gonna do is you're gonna send me his address and

17
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna come out there when I come to Boston,

18
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 2: and Justin I chat and over a piece of cheese.

19
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 3: I think that would be good.

20
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: I actually think if I could talk him into being

21
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: a guest some time on it, it would be pretty amusing.

22
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 3: But anyway, all right, all.

23
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 2: Right, let's rock and roll September one through the seventh,

24
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: nineteen fifty three. On September one, Buddy Holly and Bob

25
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 2: Montgomery auditioned for KDAV Radio, landing a slot as the

26
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 2: Bob and Buddy Show. Did you know that Buddy was

27
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 2: a jock? I didn't know that at all at all.

28
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: That's what we call for those of you that are

29
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 2: non radio people, that the jock was short for a

30
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 2: disc jockey, so we would call him jock, like it

31
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 2: was a jock that's doing this shift, that shift or whatever.

32
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 3: Buddy Holly was a jock. Had no clue. I did

33
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 3: not know that.

34
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,559
Speaker 2: Also on September first, nineteen fifty five, Alan Freed, another

35
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: famous DJ, well not and well, I don't think Buddy

36
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: was famous as a DJ, but DJ Allen Freed's first

37
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 2: anniversary rock and roll party kicked off in Brooklyn with

38
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: Chuck Berry and Tony Bennett. How about that for a bill,

39
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 2: Chuck Berry and Tony Bennett.

40
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: I didn't realize going back then that they even had

41
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: the strange bills because we would, you know, grow to

42
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: see that later on in years at you know, coliseums

43
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: and stuff that had strange ordered, you know, lineups.

44
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 3: But that's a crazy one. Yeah, that's that is a

45
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 3: crazy one.

46
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: September one, in nineteen fifty six, nineteen year old Jerry

47
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: Lee Lewis played for Sun Record Staff with some early demos,

48
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 2: and he set the stage for his rock and roll starting.

49
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 2: Jerry a fantastic musician entertainer. The moral compass was slightly

50
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 2: out of calibration. The killer, right, yeah, and the killer

51
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: who liked his women younger than they should have been,

52
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 2: and I think married his cousin if I'm correct.

53
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,399
Speaker 1: I wonder if this partially why when I worked at

54
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: the w n W in the era that I did,

55
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: Dennis Elsis gave me the nickname.

56
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 3: Killer. It was Bob Killer Cossack.

57
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: And my mother, listening in Stanford, Connecticut, who knew I

58
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: had this other dual identity of buzz Night. She said

59
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 1: to me, I don't like that nickname the killer. You're

60
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: not a killer.

61
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 3: Now.

62
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: I wonder if she was associating it in the raw

63
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: sense of a killer, or she was not wanting me

64
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: affiliated with the image of a Jerry Lee Lewis.

65
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good It's a fair question. I wonder

66
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: how she would answer that. I do have two questions,

67
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: so related to the Bob Killer Cossack name. Yes, is

68
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: this is this the first time you've spoken on a

69
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 2: broadcast about using a radio name that buzz Night is

70
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 2: a radio name, as we would say, I.

71
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 3: Don't believe it's the first time. No.

72
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: I think I shared this with my former boss and

73
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: friend Mark Chernoff, actually at a walk in Central Park,

74
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: because he is still to this day. If I call Mark,

75
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: he says, hey, what's going on, Bob?

76
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 2: Interesting? So that leads to my next question. You've known

77
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 2: Chernoff for a long time. At home, your lovely wife,

78
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: does she refer to you as Bob or buzz? You?

79
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 3: Hey? Hey? You you or that one blockhead? Right?

80
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: It's not an answer, Buss. What does she call you?

81
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 2: To call you Bob or Buss? It's no one thing.

82
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,799
Speaker 2: It depends on the moment.

83
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: It depends which of the hairy eyeballs I deserve from her.

84
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 2: Well, that's what I was going to ask. That's the

85
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 2: next question is going to turn into therapi's like doctor Phil.

86
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: So if she's if she's, if she's passed, do you

87
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: get like Robert?

88
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 3: Do you get that, uh, it's happened? That was more

89
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:02,559
Speaker 3: from my mom.

90
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 1: I don't want to get into weird you know, mother syndrome.

91
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: I'm going to conclude this episode quickly.

92
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,799
Speaker 2: We're only on the first day, so I just didn't

93
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 2: I just didn't show it. But your wife will sometimes

94
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 2: call you Buzz or Bob, begrudgingly both. I've known you

95
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 2: since nineteen eighty six. I've never known anyone that called

96
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 2: you anything but Buzz, so hearing thinking about you as

97
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 2: Bob is foreign to me.

98
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 3: It's fortun to me too. Yeah, Hey, Justin from the

99
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 3: cheese shop.

100
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: Guess what happened on this day on September first in

101
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty seven, my brother after Brian Epstein's death, the

102
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 2: manager Brian Epstein. This sparked Paul McCartney's idea for Magical

103
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 2: Mystery Tour two number two.

104
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 3: We could cut this out so Justin doesn't have to

105
00:05:58,920 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 3: hear that.

106
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 2: If you want to know, staying in and I like

107
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 2: Brie by the way. Nineteen seventy seven, despite internal tensions,

108
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 2: the Beach Boys performed a huge free concert at Central Park,

109
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 2: drawing over.

110
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 3: One hundred and fifty thousand people.

111
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 2: This would be the kind of thing if you were

112
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: to be sitting around, like if I told my mother

113
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: because she loves the Beach Boys. If I said, Mom,

114
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 2: you know, on this day in nineteen seventy seven, the

115
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 2: Beach Boys played a concert with over one hundred and

116
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 2: fifty thousand people, she would say, is that one of

117
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: the biggest Harry? Is that one of the biggest crowds ever?

118
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 2: I would say, no, Mom, it's not the biggest crowds ever.

119
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 2: Certainly not at Central Park either. They've had some doozies there.

120
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 2: They sure have good, good crowd.

121
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, speaking a doozy, I gotta mention this. I don't

122
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 3: know if you heard about this.

123
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: They had a memorial ceremony for Brian Wilson recently, and

124
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard about the Mike Love

125
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: portion of that ceremony.

126
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 3: But Mike Love gets up.

127
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: There and instead of paying tribute to this is in

128
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: Rolling Stone, instead of paying tribute to Brian's legacy, he

129
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: spent the time basically justifying all of the songs that

130
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: he wrote that he says he did not get credit.

131
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: For anyone that I'm gonna you may get Mike Love

132
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 2: as a guest at some point.

133
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: I'm not sure about that, but you know, I guess

134
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: I guess I would take him on. But oh my god,

135
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: what an icky experience that must have been.

136
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 2: What, you know, what kind of what kind of person

137
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 2: you have to be to do that? Someone's funeral messed up?

138
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: The guy's gone, you know, and they had stuff.

139
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: There was legal stuff that had been going on, you know,

140
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: prior to Brian's death and everything like that. So this

141
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: wasn't something brand new, but the fact that he chose

142
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: to supposedly air it out at that event was kind

143
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: of like, you know, so you.

144
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: Don't think you're gonna end up with Mike Love at

145
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 2: any point in time, because I do have something to say, Yeah,

146
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: I don't, and I'll tell you why, because.

147
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: I turned him down many years ago when I had

148
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: my first interview ever that I did, which was with

149
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: I was given a choice. I was writing for a

150
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: local Dayton, Ohio music newspaper and it was a way

151
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: to get free tickets, and they said to me, Okay,

152
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: who do you want to go out and cover this

153
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: particular Saturday. You have two choices. One is you can

154
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: cover the Beach Boys and you can go interview Mike Love,

155
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: or you can go to see the great saxophone player

156
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: Dexter Gordon and interview him so I just said, please,

157
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: not even a question. I'm going to see Dexter. So

158
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: I kind of feel like, as fate would have it,

159
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: I'm not meant for him and he's not meant for me.

160
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 3: With that being said, the late Bob.

161
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: Rivers and I went to see the Beach Boys because

162
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 2: he has a friend that plays drums for the Beach Boys.

163
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 3: This guy's reminds me.

164
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 2: Of of Animal from the Muppets. He played the drums

165
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 2: basically standing up like he's on a high stool, and

166
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 2: he was making funny faces and he literally was a

167
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 2: just an animal. But I went with Bob Rivers, you know,

168
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 2: before he passed, and it was, you know, musically, it

169
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 2: was great and there were some amazing moments, but Mike,

170
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 2: it is time for Mike Love to retire. That it

171
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 2: was I love so much of their music and it

172
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 2: was wonderful to hear, but by the end of the.

219
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 2: at the time, and I'm sure it was a.

220
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 3: Good show to see. You were too young to have

221
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 3: seen that.

222
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, never, I mean loved their music from the beginning,

223
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: but never had a chance to see them. Only saw

224
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: Clapton a couple of times in the later years.

225
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 2: But yeah, last story for the week September seventh, nineteen

226
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: seventy eight.

227
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 3: If you choose to.

228
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 2: Not hear the Waterbury Woodbury story today. Last story for

229
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 2: the week September seventh, nineteen seventy eight. Keith Moon passed

230
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 2: away at thirty two in London. Thoughts on Keith Moon,

231
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 2: I got some thoughts I want to hear yours. First, Well,

232
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 2: I mean.

233
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: We were shocked when it happened, but then when you

234
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: really reflected in what you.

235
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 3: Knew about him and his lifestyle, yougo, I'm not that shocked.

236
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: Uh So there was that, and then the band in general,

237
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: and certainly Keith in particular.

238
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 3: I mean, were they not.

239
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: In the the in those times, the definition of debauchery

240
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: and rock and roll.

241
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 3: They they were the guys that destroyed the hotel rooms.

242
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 3: They were all of that.

243
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Saturday Night Live did a skit someone playing Keith

244
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 2: Moon kicking, you know, throwing TV's out the window and

245
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 2: acting like an It was him, right, he was the

246
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 2: Pete Townsend never really was crazy. Roger Delter never destroyed anything.

247
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 2: Keith Moon.

248
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 3: They were they had.

249
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: Their craziness the other boys, but but Keith was the

250
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: one who was the driver of craziness.

251
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 3: And so yeah, I remember, you know, the early deaths

252
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 3: in our life cycle, you know.

253
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: Of music figures are weird to reflect on now because

254
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: I think our memories change over time of their music

255
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: and also of their passing and the way that they passed,

256
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, and that one, I mean, that was

257
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: like that was a big, big moment, you know, in

258
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: history to you know, to witness his passing and you know,

259
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: in terms of the way you know, things were reported

260
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: like that.

261
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 2: Then I watched a Netflix so that was on Netflix about.

262
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 3: The making of one of their albums. I can't remember

263
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 3: what it was at.

264
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 2: This point, but Roger Dalter was sitting at the at

265
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 2: the desk, the mixer, and he was talking about how

266
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: Keith played, and he said, in the history of drummers,

267
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 2: I've never seen anyone or heard anyone that plays like him.

268
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 2: In particular, be because he played along with Roger Daltrey.

269
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 2: Instead of being a percussionist and being underneath him, he

270
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 2: literally played along. He said, listen to listen to me

271
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 2: sing he would just he isolated the tracks.

272
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 3: Oh wow, so it was just Roger and Keith.

273
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 2: And I thought, oh, and you know, I'm a little

274
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 2: bit of a musical guy. And I thought I never

275
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 2: even never even noticed that about Keith. But he played,

276
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: he played along with Roger.

277
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 3: Wow, that's pretty fascinating.

278
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: This day in nineteen seventy eight, September seventh, Keith Moon

279
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 2: passes away. And with that, I want to greet everybody
