And 15 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 2: the truth is, we continue to uncover new and different things. 16 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 2: As I look at what we're going to talk about 17 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 2: this week, I've got a couple of great examples of that, 18 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 2: and it continues to be a fun in the exciting 19 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 2: thing to do.

Do any of those moments of music 23 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 3: history have anything to do with depeche Mode? 24 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 2: Absolutely not. Okay, let the record show, no disrespect for them. 25 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 2: I'm not really mocking them. It just came to me 26 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 2: in a sense of whimsy. As much as I am, 27 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 2: you've put me in charge, including titling me. I don't 28 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 2: know that I would know the pest song Depeche Mode 29 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 2: song if it came on the radio right now. I 30 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 2: don't think I can identify one. I mean I probably 31 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 2: might go, oh, I know that song. I didn't realize 32 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 2: who it was. I was never into that, that kind 33 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 2: of new wavy thing, and especially with them, for whatever reason, 34 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 2: it's just never caught my attention, all right. 35 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: But we're not here to disparage a musical movement. We're 36 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: here to go through the week of December twenty second. 37 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 2: Or potential guests on the Take in a Walk podcast 38 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 2: more specifically cisely my friend December twenty second.

He 41 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 2: died young, and you know he died He died taking 42 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 2: a walk. 43 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 3: Oh my god? Yeah, how eerie? Is that? 44 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 2: What a way to go with his dogs with him. 45 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 2: He had a heart attack. He had the big one. 46 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 2: As Fred Sanford might say, and he allegedly had some 47 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 2: not allegedly, but apparently had some sort of a congenital 48 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 2: heart defect, which is called intro. I want to get 49 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 2: this right. Intramural coronary artery issue is what he had. 50 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 2: And that's where a major artery grows inside the heart muscle. 51 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 2: And it's so rare. There were only one hundred deaths 52 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 2: in fifty years prior to Joe Strummer's death. 53 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 3: It's a crazy way to go, so certainly is, especially 54 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 3: with the name of the show. 55 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, taking a Walk.

It's two week run at number one in 58 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 2: the UK. A bunch of great tracks on that Candle 59 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 2: in the Wind probably my least favorite Candle in the Wind. 60 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 3: I don't know. 61 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 2: I think at the time it was it was to 62 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 2: me a great record, but I think once everything happened 63 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 2: with Princess Diana and that version came out, it was 64 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 2: just to overkill, right, and hearing that song over and 65 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 2: over and over again just it lost its lust with me. 66 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 3: You did say lust and lust? It's lust. Oh. 67 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 2: I had a little hiccup. I just dated a protein 68 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 2: bar before we started, so kind of hiccup. But no, 69 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 2: my lust is still there. But Kle and the Wind 70 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 2: lost its luster with me when the Princess Diana. 71 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 3: Version of it came out. 72 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 2: Understood Benny and the Jets Funeral for a Friend, Benny 73 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 2: legendary song. That's a great song to hear in a bar. 74 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 2: Everyone starts popping their heads and tapping their feet. 75 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 3: Funeral for a Friend. Can't argue with that? 76 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 2: Oh that is That's an epic song, you know, a 77 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 2: loutch of great tracks. Nineteen forty nine, Maurice and Robin 78 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 2: Gibb were born the Beg's twin brothers.

On this day, 80 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 2: I will be celebrating with a Beg's cake and probably 81 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 2: listening to Saturday Night Fever. You know me, I do 82 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:41,559 Speaker 2: know you? Okay, here's one of those things. The next 83 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 2: topic of discussion is Rick Nielsen from Cheap Trick. It's 84 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 2: his birthday on December twenty second. I've been curious for 85 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 2: some time about what happened in that band with Bunny Carlos, 86 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 2: so I want to talk about that I did some research. 87 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 2: I have some information. I recognize Rick on his birthday. 88 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 2: Legendary guitar player. The band was obviously nominated and brought 89 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 2: into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, inducted in 90 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 2: twenty sixteen. He is obsessed with guitars. He owns hundreds 91 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 2: of guitars. He has one that's become very famous, Hamer guitar, 92 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 2: five neck guitar, which he actually plays relentlessly, throws picks 93 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 2: out during the show shows he does with the band. 94 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 2: And you know, he's an interesting cat, very different offstage 95 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 2: than on stage. On stage, He's it's what they call performative, 96 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 2: I guess is the kind way to say it. You know, 97 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 2: the act, the Rick Nielsen act. 98 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 3: But he's a. 99 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 2: Methodical and very smart guy when you listen to him 100 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 2: talk well. 101 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 3: And so what's your suspicion on the Bunny Carlos departure? 102 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 2: I thought, because Dax Nielsen, who was Rick's son, is 103 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 2: now playing for the band, I thought this must have 104 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 2: been like a Michael Anthony, Eddie van Halen Wolfgang van 105 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 2: Halen situation where maybe Rick said, you know what, it's 106 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 2: time for my son to step in, and would he 107 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 2: actually kicked Bunny Carlos out of the band, and I 108 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 2: started to do some legwork and realized that there was 109 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 2: a strife in that band. It still exists today and 110 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 2: Bunny Carlos, as much as he's not on tour with 111 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 2: that band, it's still a situation like Steve Perry with Journey, 112 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 2: where Bunny Carlos is still part of the Cheap Trick corporation. 113 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 2: There was an issue that prevented Bunny Carlos in twenty 114 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,239 Speaker 2: ten from stopping touring with the band. 115 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 3: You know, there were. 116 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 2: Strife the relationships, I think a bunch of things. It's 117 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 2: like what can happen in a relationship. One thing happens, 118 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 2: and then another and another, and then you know something, 119 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 2: there's a straw that the camel's back, and you know, 120 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 2: Bunny Carlos end up suing Rick and Cheap Trick at 121 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 2: one point. There were creative issues, there were business issues, 122 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 2: and you know it, it got to the point where 123 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 2: they replaced him in twenty ten, and they never really 124 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 2: announced his departure from the band. It was just Dak 125 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 2: stepping in. And that's because Bunny Carlos is still part 126 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 2: of Cheap Trick. Technically, we just don't see him. 127 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: Well, maybe that was part of the whole settlement too. Okay, 128 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: we're gonna, you know, allow you to still be part 129 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: of the corporation and any royalties, and you know, our 130 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: part of the deal is giving that to you, and 131 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: you're part of the deal. Is you just kind of 132 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: went away. I'd be curious to know. You know, it's 133 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: kind of a it's like the mob discussion. I mean, 134 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: it's a bit like the Mob. 135 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, really, it is like you you're always part 136 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 2: of this. You can't go it's it's it's Hell's Angels Mob, 137 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 2: any of those, any of those clubs, if you will. 138 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 3: And I'd be. 139 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 2: Curious to know how many bands are set up like 140 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 2: that right as corporation, so if someone leaves, they still 141 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 2: maintain some level of ownership. I've only heard about it. 142 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 2: Journey was the only thing I knew about because of 143 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 2: how much energy seems to be behind Steve Perry coming 144 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 2: back to join the band, and at some point that 145 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 2: story came out that he was still part of the corporation. 146 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 2: So with Cheap Trick, it's interesting, and that's that's one 147 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 2: where there was an ugly end with with Journey, there 148 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 2: was no ugly end. You know, Steve just was ready 149 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 2: to move on, and Neil has been anxious to get 150 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 2: him back in the band. 151 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: He won't do it all right, But I heard back 152 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,319 Speaker 1: with the journey Piece that there was so much hatred 153 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: for Steve Perry back in the day that when his 154 00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 1: microphone cord was somehow available for or a roadie or 155 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: another band member to get a hold of as he 156 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: was singing, that they would try to sway the chord, 157 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: enabling him to trip while he was in the middle 158 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: of his performance. 159 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 3: Oh gosh, So I remember. 160 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true, but I remember hearing that, 161 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: And so it makes you think that, you know, there's 162 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: a lot of high school in these bands basically over 163 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: the years. You know, there's so much time together, there's 164 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: so much on the road, there's so much ego. It 165 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: probably all this stuff happens, probably more than we even 166 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: ever find out about. 167 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 3: You know, sabotage. It's like you know, hutting. You know, 168 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 3: in a way this. 169 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,199 Speaker 2: Is over dramatized, but it's like cutting a brake line, 170 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 2: you know, someone's car. It's like, we're going to do 171 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 2: something to sabotage you, to make you that's right. 172 00:09:58,520 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 3: Look bad to look bad. 173 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm going to look into the thing with 174 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,839 Speaker 2: with Journey because you know they were at the Hall 175 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,559 Speaker 2: of Fame together, right, everything looks good Steve, Steve and 176 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 2: Neil speak very highly of each other. 177 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 3: But who knows. 178 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 2: I mean, at the time, it could have been you know, 179 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 2: he's listen, he's a lead singer, didn't play an instrument. 180 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 3: Probably ego involved how Bed. Over time they're like, jeez, 181 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 3: I really couldn't stand him during that period, but I'm 182 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:27,199 Speaker 3: not even sure why. 183 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 2: You know, it's like, you know Dennisty Young and Styx. 184 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 2: You know, you listen to Tommy Shaw's description of that 185 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 2: situation to me, is is great. It's like being married 186 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 2: and sharing a kid with someone. When it was the description, 187 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 2: I thought, well, is that brilliant. It was like he 188 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 2: and he was married to Dennisty Young and the songs 189 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 2: of other great music were their kids, and so they 190 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 2: have shared custody. He's like, you know, you have to 191 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 2: co parent, but you don't want to deal with that person. 192 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 2: You don't want that person over at Thanksgiving, you don't 193 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 2: want to been holidays and all of that. And and 194 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 2: that may be an example too of this but you know, 195 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 2: we're talking about tons and tons of ego, which makes. 196 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: Me think about this band that we had them on 197 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: Taking a Walk and had them on Music Saved Me. 198 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if you've heard of them, Harry, but 199 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: they're a great sort of indie pop alternative band. They're 200 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: called The Head and the Heart, and they've been together 201 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 1: a long time and they've had members who have left 202 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: and some new members that have come in. 203 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 3: They're a delightful band. Individually, they're delightful, but they admit 204 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,599 Speaker 3: in the conversation, particularly on the Music Saved Me episode, 205 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 3: that unabashedly they talk about the fact that as a 206 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 3: band they have gone through therapy and they continue to 207 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 3: go through therapy. So you wonder if they're onto something 208 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 3: in terms of how to deal with the strife of 209 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 3: you know, creativity in the road. 210 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,959 Speaker 1: But you know, and how many bands could have eliminated 211 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: a lot of the heartache if they went through therapy. 212 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 2: You know, it's an interesting, interesting thing to think about, 213 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 2: and and when you do think about how deeply personal 214 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 2: the music itself is to these folks and the artists 215 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 2: that are even if it's not you know, even if 216 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 2: it's a drummer or a bass player. It's still your 217 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 2: piece of that performance of that song. 218 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 3: You left your heart out there, you know, and. 219 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 2: It doesn't go away, right. This is your perspective on 220 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 2: not your perspective, but your your gift. 221 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 3: You're forever out there. 222 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you don't get you don't get to put 223 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 2: the toothpaste back in the tube, you don't get to 224 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 2: unring the bell. Right, So it doesn't surprise me to 225 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 2: hear that. You know, there's going to be strife your 226 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 2: perspect still are they still they still admit that they are. 227 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 2: That's still part of them dealing with, you know, the 228 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 2: rigors of the road. It's it's probably a healthy way 229 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 2: to deal with things versus letting the shit hit the fan, right, 230 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 2: as they say. Right in twenty fourteen, let's move on 231 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 2: to this date, December twenty second.

That's the first song on the soundtrack 340 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 2: and it's Eddie and his version of Room at the 341 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 2: Top is so beautiful. I mean, he really is. Just 342 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 2: you know, he's got a gift. Oh yeah, he's like 343 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,439 Speaker 2: Neil Young in a way to me with what his 344 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 2: voice does. Sure, so I'm a big fan. But December 345 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 2: twenty third, nineteen sixty four Eddie Vedder's birthday. In nineteen 346 00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 2: sixty four, Brian Wilson, head Up Breakdown, had a mental 347 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 2: health episode while on tour with the Beach Boys. They 348 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 2: were out at Christmas time and Glenn Campbell stepped in 349 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 2: to actually fill in for him, and you know, I'm 350 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 2: reminded of Glenn. I was never a big country music 351 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 2: fan when I was a young man, and when he 352 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 2: passed away, I started to see all these tributes everywhere, 353 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 2: and I had no idea what a legend. He really was, 354 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 2: not just with country music, but as a guitar player. 355 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,959 Speaker 2: He was a guy that, you know, the more I 356 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 2: looked into him, the more I realized there was nothing 357 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:39,199 Speaker 2: he couldn't do. 358 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 3: He was like Roy Clark. 359 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 2: We don't associate country music often with really amazing guitar players, 360 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 2: and there are some amazing guitar players in country music. 361 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 2: And of course we're talking about time now. With those 362 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 2: two examples, I gave you Roy Clark and Glenn Campbell. 363 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 2: But Glenn Campbell was a part of the Beach Boys 364 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 2: before joining them in sixty four because he was in 365 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 2: the Wrecking Crew. So he was part of this group 366 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 2: of guys, all men and one woman that would play 367 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 2: on the soundtrack of not the soundtrack, but play on 368 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 2: all these albums with you know, with different folks, the 369 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 2: Monkeys and the Beach Boys. He was on Sinatra sessions 370 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 2: and Elvis movie soundtracks, and he played on I think 371 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 2: he played on a couple of Phil Spector soundtracks as well. 372 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 2: But really really great guitar player. So, but Brian Wilson 373 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 2: had his breakdown at sixty four and Glenn Campbell, we're 374 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 2: kind of far off off the topic. 375 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 3: There. 376 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 2: But but Brian had had an awful mental health episode, 377 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 2: and you know this, I think this is around the 378 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 2: time where he decided he didn't want to tour with 379 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 2: the Beach Boys. He wanted to focus on the music. 380 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,679 Speaker 2: He wanted to focus on the production aspect of it, 381 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 2: and didn't want to be on the He wasn't built 382 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 2: for it, you know, he was he was built for 383 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 2: writing and singing, wasn't really built for the touring and 384 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 2: fame aspect of it. 385 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 3: And sadly it was only the beginning of his real 386 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 3: severe health issues really, you know. 387 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, and his you know, listen, We've talked about this 388 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 2: a lot. This is a you know, he was in 389 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 2: an abusive relationship at home. You know, his father's was 390 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 2: like you know, Joe Jackson, Michael Jackson, Jackson's father. I mean, 391 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 2: this was the guy who was you know, who had issues, 392 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 2: who was abusing his his kids emotionally. 393 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 3: Yep. 394 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 2: And that's the toll that kind of abuse takes. So 395 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 2: in two thousand and seven, on December twenty third, the 396 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 2: Police were named the highest earning tour of that year. 397 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 2: And of course this was kind of long after the breakup. 398 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 2: This was the reunion in two thousand and seven. But 399 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,919 Speaker 2: they you know, it was thirty years after the band 400 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 2: inception and their first reunion in twenty four to twenty 401 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,199 Speaker 2: five years at that point. And I saw that, I 402 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 2: saw that tour. They were here in Vegas. They did 403 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 2: a show, did one hundred and fifty plus shows around 404 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 2: the world, and they made about three almost four hundred 405 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 2: million dollars that year. 406 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 3: Not a bad little payday. No. You ever get a 407 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 3: chance to see them in their heyday or on the reunion. 408 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 1: Not on the reunion, but in the heyday, and I 409 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: saw him a number of times, and so I sting 410 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 1: solo as well, and great shows, you know, just solid, 411 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: you know, beginning to end. 412 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 3: Great catalog, great experience for sure. 413 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 2: In two thousand and two, Sir Paul McCartney was granted 414 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 2: his own coat of Arms by the College of Arms. 415 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 2: I cannot answer any questions for you about the coat 416 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,199 Speaker 2: of Arms or the College of Arms, anyone listening. You 417 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 2: got to do that research on your own. I started 418 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 2: to go down the rabbit hole and I thought, I 419 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 2: just means nothing to me, But it's Paul McCartney. It's 420 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 2: another reward for Paul McCartney, who we love that's right. 421 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 2: In nineteen sixty seven, Elton John and Bernie Toppen met 422 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,919 Speaker 2: for the first time, and this was the beginning of 423 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 2: a relationship that has lasted at this point fifty eight 424 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 2: years or something along those lines. I was told there 425 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,199 Speaker 2: be no math today. And I was born in sixty 426 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 2: six and I'm going to be sixty, so fifty nine years. 427 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 2: You were told there was going to be no math, right. 428 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 2: I was told there be no math when I woke up. 429 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 2: Will there be math today? Will there'll be no math? 430 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 2: I was told, Ma, there will be I answered that question. 431 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 2: I asked that question. Every day, math today or no math? 432 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,199 Speaker 2: Every day should be a potentially no math day. But 433 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 2: it just doesn't work that way. Yeah, I prefer no 434 00:24:55,359 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 2: math or to have my phone nearby.

I don't know 527 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 2: that I ever would have survived working for him, but 528 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 2: any of us would. But but he did what he did. 529 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 2: Nineteen eighty two, David Bowie and Crosby had the number 530 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 2: one hit in the United Kingdom with Peace on Earth 531 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 2: and The Little Drummer Boy.

He lived 541 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 2: a couple miles up the road, and I remember it 542 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 2: was sad. There were all these little yellow and black 543 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 2: signs on light poles near where I live, and up 544 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 2: and down Eastern Avenue in Henderson here outside of Las Vegas. 545 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 2: Jerry Lewis estate sale at the house. You could go 546 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 2: to the house. That's crazy at any rate. He was 547 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 2: a partner of the legendary Dean Martin, who, as I 548 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 2: understand it, played a drunk, never really drank. 549 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 3: A lot, as legend would have it.

In my opinion, he was the 555 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 2: first beatle to have a number one song after the 556 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 2: Beals broke out No Great Song, Great Great Song nineteen 557 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 2: eighty one.

I was an ac DC nutt. 565 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 2: I was sixteen or seventeen years old or something, sixteen 566 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 2: years bill probably. 567 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 3: At the time.

But 569 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 3: would you consider that now? 570 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 2: That would be a ridiculous look for me right now, 571 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 2: No more ridiculous than Angus looks now seventy wearing it. 572 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 2: It's not what we would call a flattering look. 573 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 3: At all. I can't you know, There's been a. 574 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 2: Bunch of stuff, you know, social media is just the 575 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,239 Speaker 2: worst for these poor guys that are out there doing it, 576 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 2: but there's you know, isolated stuff of his singing, you know, 577 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 2: background or playing, And well, I want to talk about. 578 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 3: That because because I uh had specific commentary from a 579 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 3: bunch of different people locally. 580 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 1: And then you know elsewhere nationally that saw a c 581 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 1: DC on this last round of shows and absolutely just 582 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: like loved it and had no problem with it. 583 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 3: Now, granted, these were big stadium shows, so you don't 584 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 3: really see the warts, but they loved the experience. And 585 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 3: then after that show, those shows, or after they're off 586 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 3: the road, then this stuff starts surfacing to really expose 587 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 3: it as not being that great musically. And I don't 588 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 3: know what to believe, you know, because I know these 589 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 3: people who went to the show spent money, spent real 590 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 3: money to go on there. They didn't get free tickets 591 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 3: like we used to doing radio. They spent money and 592 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 3: that was an experience. 593 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,320 Speaker 1: That was there one or two shows that they would 594 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: go to every year, and they absolutely loved it. 595 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 2: So I don't know what to believe at this point. 596 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 2: First of all, a night out at a concert is 597 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 2: an ordeal. That's a couple hundred bucks anyway, right without dinner, right, 598 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 2: just the tickets alone, never mind parking and you know, 599 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 2: maybe buying a shirt or a couple of drinks or whatever. 600 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 2: It's an expensive ordeal. Number one. Number two, addressing your 601 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 2: issue directly, we are in a place and a time 602 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 2: in our world where people just cannot shut the f up. Honestly, 603 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 2: I mean, we are in a place where if someone 604 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 2: is having some success, there is no shortage of people 605 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 2: lurking around the corner laying in wait if you will 606 00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:00,080 Speaker 2: to cut them down right. I mean, I'm a I 607 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,479 Speaker 2: would love to have seen ac DC, but I wasn't 608 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,920 Speaker 2: going to pay three hundred bucks a ticket to go 609 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 2: down to the MGM and fuss with parking in the 610 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 2: strip and in all of that for a decent seat. 611 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,839 Speaker 2: The video I saw of the show and I you know, 612 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 2: I literally, I mean I follow them. I after that 613 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,799 Speaker 2: first show, I was looking on social media for you know, 614 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 2: for YouTube or for Instagram for clips to see how 615 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 2: they sounded and what they look like. And listen there 616 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 2: you know, they're seventy years old. Plus what did you 617 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 2: think Angus Young is going to look like?
