1
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Hey, discos, need a little more Disgraceland in your life,

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: just to touch to get you through. Yeah, me too.

3
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: This is the podcast that comes after the podcast. Welcome

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: to Disgraceland the After Party. Welcome to the second installment

5
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: of the new and improved same as before, but slightly

6
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: more awesome Disgraceland After Party. On this episode, we're talking

7
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: about the past episode of Disgraceland on Charles Manson. Yes

8
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: that Charles Manson. Why because yeah, he was a musician

9
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: and in addition to being a murderer. And we're also

10
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: discussing Trent Reznor, Mama Cass Elliott, Richard Ramirez, Frank Costello,

11
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: all Quiet on the Western Front, More White Lotus season two,

12
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: and a whole lot of Rosie to round us out.

13
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: All right, before we get if a listener calls, text

14
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: and emails, let's get into it. So Charles Manson short

15
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: dude had a sex call back in the sixties. Was

16
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: a murderous hippie freaked America out, that dude, you know,

17
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: the one He died in prison a couple of years ago,

18
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: snuggled up against his body pincushion. Yes, that Charles Manson.

19
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: He was indeed a musician. This is a main component

20
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: of our last episode of Disgraceland. Manson the musician, Charles

21
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: Manson the music man. Manson as a musician is something

22
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: that either gets overlooked or at best is giving passing

23
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: attention or is laughed off, and for good reason. Charles

24
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: Manson wasn't that great of a musician, that was clear,

25
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: but music. More specifically, his attempts at a career in

26
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: music are at the very heart of the story of

27
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: the murders of Sharon Tate, Jay Sebring, Abigail Folger, voy

28
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: Tech Freikowski, Stephen parent, Rosemary and Leno Lavianka, and even

29
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: Gary Hillman. We think of Manson as a murderer, a

30
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: cult leader, even a serial killer, but not as a musician.

31
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: Like I said, why or why not when music was

32
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: clearly at the center of Manson's story. By now, if

33
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: you've been listening to disgraceand at least you know the story,

34
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: the story that Charles Manson aspired to be a rock star,

35
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: to use music to lead the masses, and that he

36
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: made some famous fans of his music. None other than

37
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: Neil Young tried to get Charles Manson signed to a

38
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: record deal with Moe Austin and Warner Brothers and Dennis

39
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: Wilson of The Beach Boys. Of course, hopd Charlie up

40
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: with fanned record producer, Wilson's buddy and Bird's producer Terry

41
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: Melcher to help develop in groom Manson for his music career.

42
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: Terry Melcher, of course knew what Neil Young and Dennis

43
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: Wilson somehow didn't, and that was that Charles Manson sucked

44
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: as a musician. Sure, he had some interesting ideas, and

45
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: like I detail in the episode, if the mood and

46
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: the vibe was right and he wasn't too fucked up,

47
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: Charlie could string together a couple of stream of conscious

48
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: verses over some poorly played chords on an acoustic guitar

49
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: in a way that suggested music. But musician hardly. Charlie

50
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: didn't have the goods. But still that doesn't erase the

51
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: fact that, like I said, music is at the heart

52
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: of Charles Manson's story and the Beatles' music is at

53
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: the heart of the helter skelter motives that prosecuting attorney

54
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,399
Speaker 1: Vincent Buliosi used to convict Manson of the murders. Yet

55
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: in the official narrative about Charles Manson, He's constantly referred

56
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: to as a quote unquote failed musician that descriptor never

57
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: quite jive for me. Failure suggests a lack of impact

58
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: or a significance, and when it comes to Manson's music,

59
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: that's hardly the case. Sure, Manson failed to capture the

60
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: year of Terry Melcher and Buliosi used that fact to

61
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: establish motive for the tape murders orchestrated by Charlie, a

62
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: claim that I think is bullshit. By the way, thanks

63
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: to Tom O'Neil's excellent book Chaos. But more on this

64
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: bogus motive than the upcoming moment episodes, and more on

65
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: O'Neill's book later in this episode, but I digress Melcher's

66
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: passing on Manson aside, Charles Manson's music did indeed have

67
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: a lasting impact. His music was recorded and released by

68
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: some of the biggest artists on the planet and helped

69
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: shaped and influence generations of musicians to come. We touch

70
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: on this at the end of our Manson episode, but

71
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: I want to get more to that here in this

72
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: bonus episode. In just one second, Okay, in the fall

73
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: of nineteen ninety three, when they were arguably the biggest

74
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: rock and roll band in the world, Guns N' Roses

75
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: released an EP called the Spaghetti Incident. It included a

76
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: hidden track with admit a great title called look at

77
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: Your Game Girl, and the song was originally released back

78
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy on an album called Lie the Love

79
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: and Terror Cult by You Guessed It. Charles Manson. Apparently

80
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: the other members of Guns and Roses didn't want anything

81
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: to do with the song and did not contribute to

82
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: the recording of the song, and of the reasons that

83
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: the song was unlisted on the original liner notes this

84
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: was an Axel Rose jam. The release of the song

85
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,119
Speaker 1: led to instant condemnation for the band from a broad

86
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: spectrum of concerned citizens, including none other than their record

87
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,799
Speaker 1: label boss David Geffen, who said of the incident, quote,

88
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: I would hope that if Axel Rose had realized how

89
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: offensive people would find this, he would not have ever

90
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: recorded the song in the first place. End quote. Geffen

91
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: went on to The La Times to say the fact

92
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: that Charles Manson would be earning money based on the

93
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: fame he derived from committing one of the most horrific

94
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: crimes of the twentieth century is unthinkable to me. Unquote

95
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: money quick math based on royalty rates from nineteen ninety

96
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,239
Speaker 1: three that I stole from an article in the Baltimore

97
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: sum but low key hoping you'll think I'm smart enough

98
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: to pull out for my ass work out to be

99
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: about sixty two thousand dollars to Charles Manson for every

100
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: one million copies of the Guns and Roses EP the

101
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: Spaghetti Incident that was sold. Doesn't sound like a failed

102
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: musician to me, But it doesn't matter. Geffen intervened, and

103
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 1: he made sure that the royalties never made their way

104
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: to Manson in prison. Instead, he made sure that the

105
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: money went to bartech Fraikowski on behalf of Manson Family

106
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: murder victim voy tech Frakowski. It also doesn't matter because

107
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: the song sucks, both the G and R version and

108
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: the Manson version. But you know it doesn't suck the

109
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: Brian Jonestown Massacres rendition of Manson song Arkansas entitled Arkansas Revisited,

110
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: nor does Evan Dando from The Lemonad's cover of Charlie's

111
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: Your Home Is where You're Happy. With a little digging,

112
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: it isn't hard to see the influence and the impact

113
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: that Charles Manson's music had on a later generation of musicians,

114
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: those who were influential on their own right. And like

115
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: I say in our episode, Trent Resner of Nine Inch

116
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: Nails moved in to Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate's house

117
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: where Tate and her friends were brutally murdered by Charlie's followers.

118
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: It's where Trent worked on the Nine Inch Nails album

119
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: The Downward Spiral, and that album does Not Suck. Resnor

120
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: also recorded Marilyn Manson, who obviously took his name from Charlie,

121
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: in Tate's former house, San Siello Drive, as well, but

122
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: ultimately Trent moved out from the Hollywood Hills home when

123
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: he had a chance run in with Sharon Tate's sister,

124
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: who asked him why he was exploiting her sister's death.

125
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,119
Speaker 1: He never thought of it that way. Of course, Trent

126
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: was just trying to get close to the American folklore,

127
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: up close in personal with the weirdness of history. But

128
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,119
Speaker 1: ultimately the meeting caused him to consider the victims, something

129
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: he hadn't really done prior, and it's something that we

130
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: should all try to do when we're delving into these

131
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: insane true crime stories. I try, I do. I fail sometimes,

132
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: but I do try. Charles Manson was not a failed musician,

133
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: though his music had lasting impact, despite the fact that

134
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: his music, at least his recording of it, was not good.

135
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: I was offered a first pressing edition of Lie the

136
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: Love and Terror Call Charlie's record on vinyl about a

137
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: year ago for my friend Dylan at Noble Records for

138
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: five hundred bucks. A lot of money, sure, but I felt.

139
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to say it. I don't want to

140
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: overstate how I felt, but I felt a little bit.

141
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: I think of what Trent Reznor must have felt when

142
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: considering his association with that house, that Macab feeling of

143
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: being up close and personal to something that's so dark

144
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: and such a big part of history. I passed on

145
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: buying that record, not because I'm a more virtuous person

146
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: or anything like that. I'm not, but because I was

147
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: freaked out. I don't want that kind of evil lying

148
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: around my house. And when we come back after this break,

149
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about a different evil from a

150
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: different record than I'm very happy to have lying around

151
00:08:49,080 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: my house. All right, Before we get to listener, calls, texts,

152
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: and emails. I want to talk to you about what

153
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: I'm reading, what I'm watching, and what I'm listening to.

154
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: The theme of this culture that I'm absorbing over the

155
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 1: past week Evil and that's the name of the record

156
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: you need to check out, partially Miles Davis's Live Evil.

157
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I touched on this album the Miles

158
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: Davis episodes I released. I think I did. I think

159
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: I've mentioned it at least, but I pulled it out

160
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: again last month for Halloween and was quickly reminded of

161
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: how incredible this record is as an album. It defies categorization.

162
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: I will say it's definitely not your Miles Davis that

163
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: your dad listened to. This is seventies era, drugged out

164
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: Miles trying to fuck up Size Stone, aggressively weird Miles Davis.

165
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: It's electric, it's funky, it's dark, and again it's weird

166
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: in all the best ways. Check it out Live Evil

167
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: by Miles Davis. Speaking of Evil, I'm reading The Life

168
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: and Crimes of Rich Ramirez, the Nightstalker, and holy shit,

169
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: is it great. Let me tell you something. I read

170
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: a lot, and I read a lot of true crime,

171
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 1: and this is one of the best true crime books

172
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 1: that I've ever read. I'm reading it to research the

173
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 1: upcoming ACDC episode that I'm doing, and I cannot put

174
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: it down. Richard Ramirez was a special kind of evil,

175
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: and evil that's really hard to imagine. It has me

176
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: running to the Bible. I'm not even kidding, it's that

177
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: fucked up. I'm looking for an explanation. I can't get one.

178
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: I don't know how this dude did what he did.

179
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 1: And the author, the late great Philip Carlo, He captures

180
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: Ramirez on an intimate level that makes all his actions

181
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: all the more horrifying and especially creepy. This book has

182
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: me getting up to check if my doors are locked

183
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: on a regular basis. I'm not even kidding. The last

184
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: book to do that for me was Tom O'Neill's Chaos,

185
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: Charles Manson, The CIA and the Secret History of the Sixties.

186
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: This is the book that led me down the rabbit

187
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: hole to produce this latest episode on Manson and the

188
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: upcoming two episodes on Mama Cass. I've talked a lot

189
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: about Chaos before, but it's just because it's so damn good.

190
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: It's worthy of talking about and the best way I

191
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: can describe it is this. You know all the crazy

192
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: batshit theories and anecdotes about the Manson murders. Well, O'Neill's

193
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: book Chaos provides a thoroughly source spine of information to

194
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: disrupt the narrative that we've been fed about why and

195
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: how these murders happened and just who exactly was involved.

196
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: Read it, listen to the Mama Cass episodes coming up

197
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: in Disgraceland, and you will be forever squinting between the

198
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: lines of Helter Skelter and possibly calling bullshit on the

199
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: whole damn thing. Chaos, Tom O'Neil, get it and read

200
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: it before the Netflix stock comes out. All right, I

201
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: got two recommendations for what I'm watching. Sticking with the

202
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: theme of evil, I have to talk about the new

203
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: movie All Quiet on the Western Front. I cannot remember

204
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: the last movie I watched where I caught myself staring

205
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: motionless with my mouth literally open. My jaw just dropped.

206
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: I was afraid to move. I didn't want to look away.

207
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 1: This is probably the greatest war movie that I've ever seen.

208
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: If the horror of war is unimaginable, the filmmakers here

209
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: did something that's never been done before. They imagined it,

210
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: and they brought it to the screen in a way

211
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: that makes Saving Private Ryan look like a fucking PG

212
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: thirteen feel good hit of the summer. This is incredible filmmaking,

213
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: and it is dark and horrifying. I don't let that

214
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: stop you, though, dive in. It's fantastic. You gotta watch it.

215
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: All Quiet on the Western Front the twenty twenty two edition.

216
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: All Right, I'm all caught up on White Lotus season two,

217
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: and I'm waiting with baited breath for the next episode.

218
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: As I know all of you are. I realized something

219
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 1: when I watched this last episode. One of the cool

220
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: tricks that this show plays. It's the way it presents

221
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: all these modern day cultural issues on whatever, on politics, gender, class, etc.

222
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: It presents these arguments from both sides while maintaining this

223
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: neutral point of view, and it makes the proponents of

224
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: both sides on screen look thoroughly ridiculous. It's got this

225
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: objectivity that I strive for in everyday life, and someday,

226
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 1: I lucky, I'll get there. Until then, Mike White for President,

227
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: all right, disc goes, let's hear from you. I want texts,

234
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. Keep it coming, all right. A

235
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,719
Speaker 1: Texter from the six four to six area code who

236
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: didn't give their first name sent me a bunch of

237
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: awesome subjects for disgrace Land and bad Lands, and then

238
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: randomly some close up shots of legendary mobster Frank Costello's mausoleum.

239
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: Totally weird, totally awesome. I have no idea why this

240
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: listener is hanging out in the cemetery snapping pictures of

241
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: Mafia Boss tunes. But hey, like I said, I'm here

00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: I try to check, not try, I do. I check

247
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: every single message, not immediately, but I get to it

248
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: and I respond. I try to respond to all of them.

249
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: I think I've done a good job of responding. Texter

250
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: Johnny Vinyl from the six one seven writes, what about

Speaker 1: your ears open, Johnny Thunders will be coming your way.

255
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: Johnny Vinyl from the six one seven also wrote he

256
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: said that Bob Dylan said that he wished he could

257
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: have written a song as good as Johnny Thunders. You

258
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: can't put your arms around a memory. Is that true?

259
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: I never heard that before. Is that from Dylan's new book?

260
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 2: I don't know.

261
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: It sounds like it might be. I haven't read Dylan's

00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 2: love your shows, all of them. You guys kicked major ass.

268
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 2: It entertains me on my long drives to work. Hey,

269
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 2: I'd really love to hear an episode on the Red

270
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 2: Hot Chili Peppers, in particular focusing on Hillel's slowback and

271
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 2: his untimely death. Anyway, I thought that might be a

272
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 2: good material. I don't know if you guys have even

273
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: thought of it. You probably have, but anyway, keep up

274
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 2: the good work.

275
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: Why yes, JT. We have thought of doing an episode

276
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: on the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but I've been saving it.

277
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: I don't know much about Helle's death, but I'm a

278
