In nineteen seventy five, 27 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 2: and this was when Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here 28 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 2: hit number one on the UK album charts. And you know, 29 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 2: I really one of the things I've been enjoying about 30 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 2: doing this and about utilizing Claude AI and other resources 31 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 2: that we have available to us, is that some of 32 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 2: the information and kind of CNN would say, some of 33 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 2: the factoids that are out there are really amazing. The 34 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 2: album was inspired and the song really was inspired by 35 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 2: Sid Barrett, who had left the band in sixty eight 36 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 2: and you know, he had obviously issues with drugs and 37 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 2: the severe mental health issue. He showed up at those sessions. 38 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 2: Did you ever hear that story? No? No, no, he 39 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 2: showed up during the sessions. I'm not sure how he 40 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 2: knew what was going on or where they were, but 41 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: the band members didn't recognize him immediately and it was 42 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 2: just a weird thing like, hey, you know, you're you're 43 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 2: leaving or you're fired, or you know, whatever it is. 44 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 2: And then several years later, you show up at this session, 45 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 2: gained an incredible amount of weight, didn't look the same, 46 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 2: and this album ended up being like a you know, 47 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 2: a meditation on absence. And really, I Wish You Were 48 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 2: Here was for him. The song was for him, right that. 49 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 2: Really I didn't know he was there cheat wow. Yeah, 50 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 2: he was there for at least part of it. And 51 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 2: the song. I know. I saw him perform the song 52 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 2: with his daughter at a pub in Ireland. But Polly 53 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 2: Sampson is David Gilmour's wife who's an artist and an author, 54 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 2: and the two of them performed that song in different places. 55 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 2: There's also been some interesting stuff with David Gilmore where 56 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 2: he's showing off the synthesizers that they used in Dark 57 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 2: Side of the Moon. They were brilliant music. They are 58 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 2: brilliant musicians. They're they're still with us. But I figured 59 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 2: you'd enjoy that little tidbit on Wish You Were Here. 60 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 2: That's wild, that's wild. 61 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. 62 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 2: I know. 63 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: There was some recent you know, further fur flying between 64 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: the the Gilmore camp and the Roger Waters camp, essentially saying, 65 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: you know, in their own words, hell will freeze over 66 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: before there's any chance of those guys getting back together again. 67 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: And I think you said her name is Polly Sampson, 68 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: David's wife, Is that right. 69 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 2: Yes, that's right. 70 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. I think she was in particular fire in some 71 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: shots at Roger Waters. So you know, let's not hold 72 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: our breath for a reunion from Pink Floyd. 73 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 2: Yeah. I've got a story about the Wall coming up 74 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 2: and about Roger Waters at some point, and we'll get 75 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 2: into it a little bit more. Brilliant guy, but let's 76 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:32,679 Speaker 2: face it, Roger Waters is an anti semi anti jew, 77 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 2: doesn't care what he says about anything kind of guy. 78 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 2: The police are fascists, thinks. You know, it's just an 79 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 2: issue with authority. And by the way, the Wall really 80 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 2: spoke to that issue. So I don't blame I don't 81 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 2: blame Polly and David for speaking out. Waters has done 82 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 2: it in a really ugly way, and it makes me 83 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 2: sad because I love the music. I saw him run 84 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 2: through the That Wall tour in twenty twelve or eleven 85 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 2: when they came through Vegas, So it's sad that it's 86 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 2: come to that for such an unbelievable You think about 87 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 2: what it would be like to see Pink Floyd. Now 88 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 2: you know what they do right, they do like five 89 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 2: shows in the US at five big stadiums, and it 90 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 2: would be something just crazy and epic and it would 91 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 2: be amazing. But when hell Frais is over right. Nineteen 92 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 2: seventy three November tenth, Elton's Goodbye Yellowbrook Road spent its 93 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 2: second of eight weeks at number one on the Billboard 94 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 2: two hundred. The album, of course, was a big success, 95 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 2: had a bunch of great songs on it, and then 96 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 2: the biggest success to come out of that album was 97 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 2: a re released version of Candle in the Wind. You 98 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 2: remember that, right, I do? 99 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 1: I Sure do Yeah. 100 00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 2: In September of ninety seven, win hit number one on 101 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 2: the UK charts. Elton performed the song at Princess Diana's 102 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 2: funeral and it sold to get this right, Thank You 103 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 2: Claude six hundred and sixty thousand copies in its first day, incredible, 104 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 2: almost five million copies, and it was on the Billboard 105 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 2: Top one hundred for over three months. Twenty you know, 106 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 2: four years later after the song came out because of 107 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 2: its meaning with Princess Diana, it sold thirty three million worldwide. 108 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 2: There has not been an album, to the best of 109 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 2: my recollection that was certified diamond or a song rather, 110 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 2: and that was certified diamond. We have platinum, we have gold, 111 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 2: and this was the first diamond. And the other fact 112 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 2: about that song and that version of the either version 113 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 2: of the song, is that Elton said he would never 114 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 2: play it again unless one of Diana's kids asked him 115 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 2: to play. So the song has been retired. 116 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: Oh I didn't know that. 117 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, in nineteen sixty nine, Sesame Street debuted on PBS, 118 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 2: and this was a big deal to kids. You know, 119 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 2: I was born in sixty six, so you know I 120 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 2: was a PBS kid, right. I watched mister Rogers and 121 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 2: I watched Sesame Street. I remember clearly watching those shows. 122 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 2: When when I was a kid, you were too old 123 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 2: for mister Rogers. Correct. 124 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: Some would say, yeah. 125 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 2: That's not a shot, and I love to take shots 126 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 2: at you on your age, but this is not a 127 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 2: shot on you. I'm just trying to do some math 128 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 2: here in terms of you didn't want mister Rogers. Wasn't 129 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 2: part of your childhood? No? 130 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: I actually I was locked in a closet for a 131 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: part of my childhood. 132 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 2: This explains a lot. I could be the maven of 133 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 2: mental health. We could do a special episode. You never 134 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 2: know it could be coming down the pike. The Mister 135 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 2: ra and Sesame Street was amazing. Jim Henson was amazing. 136 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 2: But the Mister Rogers thing. We may have talked about 137 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 2: this at one point. You know, we're coming up on 138 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 2: a year of doing this, by the way, on this 139 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 2: Week in Music History November, I think is a year. 140 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 2: But the Mister Rogers movie, to me was unbelievably moving 141 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 2: and it made me really emotional to see it because 142 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 2: it was a part of the fabric of my life 143 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 2: and just understanding him now as an adult versus when 144 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 2: I was a child and I watched it, and just 145 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 2: his approach to life and who he was. I mean, 146 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 2: those shows Sesame Street and Mister Rogers, and I know 147 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 2: it's a big deal with PBS right now in this country. 148 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 2: I think shows like that are so incredibly valuable. I 149 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 2: have fond memories, and you know, I'm almost sixty and 150 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 2: I remember being you know, five, six seven years old 151 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 2: when I didn't want to be weather man Don Kent 152 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 2: from w b Z, holding a wooden spoon in my 153 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 2: short pants in front of the TV. I was watching 154 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 2: mister Rogers in Sesame Street. I love that that's a 155 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 2: true story. By the way that my father says, Harry 156 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 2: wanted to be don Kent. That is great. 157 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: I was traveling through, I believe, the Pittsburgh airport many 158 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: moons ago, and there in the middle of the airport 159 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: kind of looking around, but people coming up to him. 160 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: There was Fred Rogers. 161 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 2: How funny is that? Yeah? 162 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: And by the way, picture of the chaos at the 163 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: airport even then and at that airport, at that airport. 164 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 2: But yet he. 165 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 1: Couldn't have been someone looking like more grateful to be 166 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: in the position that he was in and just nice 167 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 1: to everybody and smiling and living with this aura. So 168 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. 169 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 2: November eleventh, nineteen seventy, Bob Dylan released New Morning. This 170 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 2: was after what he went through at the Newport Folk 171 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 2: Festival and really when he went from unplugged to plugged, 172 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 2: and this was a more personal sound for him album wise, 173 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 2: after You Know Self Portrait. This it wasn't necessarily back 174 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 2: to folk, but it was a little more storytelling. It 175 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 2: was a little more domestic stuff, not somewhat social commentary 176 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 2: at this point, more domestic life and introspection. I was 177 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 2: never a huge Dylan fan. Until I was an adult. 178 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 2: I was always around it because my father was a 179 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 2: huge Dalan fan, had had the albums were all over 180 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,199 Speaker 2: the house. I didn't get it when I was a kid, 181 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 2: but this was an interesting album for him. Were you 182 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 2: a fan of this album? Nemore still to this day? 183 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 2: And I love how over time. 184 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: Like a lot of artists, Bruce is one of him. 185 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: Dylan certainly is one who is never afraid to go 186 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: into the archives and bring out alternate takes and everything. 187 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 1: And some of the takes from the New Morning Sessions 188 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: that you know subsequently came out just brilliant, amazing. 189 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. In nineteen seventy eight, on November eleventh, Donna Summers 190 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 2: MacArthur Park hit number one. I don't spend a lot 191 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 2: of time on pop music here on this week, but 192 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 2: you know I'm a fan of the disco. You know 193 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 2: I'm a fan of the pop music, and that was 194 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 2: a big, big deal. It was kind of an epic song. 195 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 2: It started slow and built and just a great to media, 196 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 2: great pop record. 197 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: I have a question, though, did you ever leave the 198 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: cakeout in the rain? 199 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 2: I will take that as a shot across the bow. 200 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 2: I do have a very funny story speaking of that. 201 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 2: This has nothing to do with music or music history. 202 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 2: I've got a friend whose name is Michael Perna. He's 203 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 2: a new guy. He's like straight out of the Sopranos, 204 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 2: and he's always got a funny story about life when 205 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,079 Speaker 2: you talk to him. And he tells the story once 206 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 2: about something that happened twenty five years ago. He was 207 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 2: in New Jersey on a rainy Sunday.

You want a piece of me? 214 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 2: What's wrong?

I always enjoy watching him talk about 269 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 2: his his playing and how he does things. Nineteen ninety one, 270 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 2: Freddie Mercury made what would be his final appearance at 271 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 2: the unveiling of the brit Awards Queen Statue in London, 272 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 2: and you know, I ended up passing away not long 273 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 2: after that, about I think nine days or so. On 274 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 2: the on the twenty third he passed away. He Freddy 275 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 2: had AIDS and he announced on November I think November 276 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 2: twenty third that he had AIDS and then on the 277 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 2: twenty fourth he passed away.

Elvis did a lot of things really well, 329 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 2: shook his ass real well, sayg Greg but an actor, 330 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 2: he was not well. It was bad. 331 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: I feel like there was a role or two that 332 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 1: wasn't him being a parody of himself. But I guess 333 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: I will I will generally agree with you on that. 334 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 2: He was so so affable, like when you see him 335 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,160 Speaker 2: on television interviews or you know, I watched the stuff 336 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 2: on the sixty eight special, and you know you see 337 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 2: him kind of talking to the crowd and just being 338 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 2: his charming self. Polite, very polite, Yeah, very polite, very charming. 339 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 2: And I just think them pushing him into acting as 340 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 2: a way to make money and build his popularity was 341 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 2: you know, it was not great. It wasn't It wasn't 342 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 2: the good That no good, Colonel Parker, Yeah, money Grubber. 343 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 2: November sixteenth, nineteen seventy four, John Lennon topped the Billboard 344 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 2: Hot one hundred with his only number one single during 345 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 2: his lifetime as a solo artist. Do you know what 346 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 2: that song is? John Lennon only number one single is 347 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 2: a solo artist? Imagine, I don't think you're gonna know. 348 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 2: That's what I thought too. Whatever gets you through the night? 349 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: Oh my god? 350 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 2: Okay, great song, but awesome? Did it seem like a 351 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 2: number one right? Right? Nineteen eighty one, the Police released 352 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 2: Ghost in the Machine and among other songs that were 353 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 2: on there, every Little Thing she Does is Magic was 354 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 2: on there. Always thought that was a fun song that 355 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 2: one crossed over right. The rock radio stations played it. 356 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 2: We played I was working at an AC station, you know, 357 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 2: we played that song. One of the things that's happening 358 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 2: online in one of the Instagram feeds that I follow 359 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 2: is called Drummyoh are you familiar with that dru m? 360 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: E O No, I don't think so. 361 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 2: You know, they'll take a drummer and they'll say, okay, 362 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 2: we're gonna play you. You know, we're gonna play you 363 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 2: do you Love Me by Kiss? So we're gonna play 364 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 2: shout it out loud by kiss or you know someone 365 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 2: from different worlds and they play it without the drum track, 366 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 2: and they let these famous drummers play other people's songs, 367 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 2: oh well, which is really kind of cool. But the 368 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,439 Speaker 2: other thing that they do is they will take an 369 00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 2: artist like you know, Stuart Copeland, and they will ask 370 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 2: him to play along with something. And they did a 371 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 2: whole series with him. But the clip I saw was 372 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,919 Speaker 2: him recreating the drums and every little thing she does 373 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 2: it's magic. I'm just a geek for that stuff. I 374 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,199 Speaker 2: like watching how even though I don't play drums, I 375 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 2: like watching that kind of stuff. If you're a music fan, 376 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 2: check them out on Instagram. Drummyoh, this is the last 377 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 2: one for the week. And I think I know the 378 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 2: answer to this, but I don't know, because there are 379 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,199 Speaker 2: a lot of people that like this and it surprises 380 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 2: me often when I hear that they do. But in 381 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 2: two thousand and one, the first Harry Potter film came out. 382 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 2: Were you ever into Harry Potter? 383 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: No, my daughter was for a period, but no, I 384 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: was not. I think I actually went to one of 385 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: the the openings or whatever with her and took a 386 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 1: very healthy nap at that particular show. 387 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I figured. I'm in the same boat. 388 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 2: I wouldn't watch it. The books were epic. The books 389 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:06,679 Speaker 2: were like eight hundred pages. I believe. Not only did 390 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 2: I not read the books, I didn't go see the movie. 391 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go, but a phenomenon, so. 392 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
