Speaker 1: Hey, look Chuck Berry's pants. It's one more thing. I'm
Speaker 1: strong and one more thing. One of the good things
Speaker 1: about the Republican Convention in twenty sixteen when we went
Speaker 1: and Trump was the guy, and so we got to
Speaker 1: go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which
Speaker 1: I'd always wanted to go to all my whole life.
Speaker 1: I found it underwhelming.
Speaker 2: I enjoyed it. I wouldn't go again. I wouldn't go
Speaker 2: to any trouble to go again. If I was with
Speaker 2: somebody wanted to, I'd go with them. But it was
Speaker 2: it was fine.
Speaker 1: It's about Yeah, that's about it. It was fine. It
Speaker 1: was better than not doing anything that day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for one day, I'm more rock guy than you,
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: But I'm not knowing if that had anything to do
Speaker 1: with it.
Speaker 2: But yeah, my memories of it, there are a few
Speaker 2: things that it gave me a bit of a charge.
Speaker 2: But again, it was fine. It's a it's a tourist attraction.
Speaker 1: To draw tour what what is some of It's kind
Speaker 1: of cool? What are we hearing Jelly roll singing here?
Speaker 2: What is it?
Speaker 1: What is he? He's a guy? Ozzy Osborne's classic Mama,
Speaker 1: I'm Coming Home and Ozzy Osbourne got put into the
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, but is unable to sing. Could be
Speaker 1: or something, It doesn't matter. Here we go all right
Speaker 1: if you like that sort of thing, I guess. And uh,
Speaker 1: here's Sharon. Whytt's so hard for her to get She
Speaker 1: just got into the rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: for some reason?
Speaker 2: Here we go away. Sure, how's easier getting divorced from
Speaker 2: two men than it was to get into the rock
Speaker 2: and roll Hall of Fame? You know?
Speaker 1: So I I have just been really lucky and I
Speaker 1: have had number one for seven decades, which surprises me.
Speaker 2: Because I'm a good singer. You know, I'm a good singer.
Speaker 2: I'm not a great singer, but you know what, I'll
Speaker 2: take good. That's an old lady rambling about something.
Speaker 1: What is the joke it was easier to get divorced
Speaker 1: from two men than to get into the rock and
Speaker 1: roll Hall of Fame?
Speaker 2: It was just a poor attempted humor.
Speaker 1: I don't know, you're younger. Does share have any meaning
Speaker 1: for you in your life?
Speaker 2: Not?
Speaker 1: Really?
Speaker 2: Look, it's you know, as I said, uh, you know,
Speaker 2: tritely and idiotically a moment ago. It's a tourist attraction.
Speaker 2: That's trying to attract tourists. They needed more gay guys
Speaker 2: in their forties, that's what that's what that is is.
Speaker 2: So you get in a share it's a fine song stress,
Speaker 2: that's right.
Speaker 1: If you got a whole bunch of bands that all
Speaker 1: get the same kind of guy, then you're not going
Speaker 1: to have any any tourists. But you have gay dudes
Speaker 1: who go just to see Shares outfits, They'll probably have
Speaker 1: a bunch of Shares outfits that I could see that
Speaker 1: being the biggest draw on the tired in the entire
Speaker 1: damn place.
Speaker 2: Yeah sure, yeah, I've you know, I've hated the Rock
Speaker 2: and Roll Hall of Fame. I don't hate it. I
Speaker 2: just thought it was stupid for a long time, partly
Speaker 2: because of what I said about Taurus and the other thing.
Speaker 2: It's just Yon winner of the Rolling Stone magazine in
Speaker 2: his East Coast mostly music critty critic buddies who just
Speaker 2: they have a particular taste and it's just I don't
Speaker 2: know they and they didn't let Rush in for like
Speaker 2: twenty years, which is idiotic. The greatest band ever existed
Speaker 2: because critics hate Rush shaded. He didn't realize that's why
Speaker 2: he hates the rock and roll hall, so his favorite
Speaker 2: band didn't get in, So that's okay, But it's in
Speaker 2: defensively the fourth biggest album act ever. They don't get
Speaker 2: in because freaking New York skinny ty wearing chain smoking
Speaker 2: a whole, don't like rush F you f you Yes,
Speaker 2: stupid twits. Anyway, do you guys want to hear Share sing?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: No? No? All right?
Speaker 1: Was that a rhetorical question?
Speaker 2: I'd rather listen to Joe yell this is great. Go ahead,
Speaker 2: play a little Michael. I don't. I don't give a crap.
Speaker 1: Solid all right?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was right the first time.
Speaker 1: She is an old woman. Now, yeah she sings like
Speaker 1: an old woman.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good lord. No, wonder if Sonny hit that tree
Speaker 2: that was that's distasteful?
Speaker 1: You think he Well, they'd been divorced for a long time.
Speaker 1: It would have been odd to ski into a tree
Speaker 1: on purpose.
Speaker 2: Indeed, I don't understand your psychological assessment of the late congressman.
Speaker 1: That was the video that she had the assless chaps
Speaker 1: on the aircraft carrier.
Speaker 2: The cruise ship. Yeah, literally swimming I'm not cruise ship,
Speaker 2: troop ship. Literally swimming after troop ships.
Speaker 1: And we all learned. Words are like weapons. They wound sometimes,
Speaker 1: is what we learned.
Speaker 2: All that as well, this neat So the class of
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty six was the first R and R. Hof
Speaker 2: class included Little Richard, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Robert
Speaker 2: Johnson is an early influenced Buddy Holly, the Everly Brothers,
Speaker 2: Fats Domino, Sam Cook, Ray, Charles James Brown, Chuck Berry.
Speaker 1: Wow. So that's like the first Hall of Fame class
Speaker 1: for baseball. That's Ty Cobb, Babe, Ruth, you know that
Speaker 1: whole list. I mean, it's just like, yeah, of course
Speaker 1: these people have to.
Speaker 2: Be in right, the cream of the cream of the crop.
Speaker 2: But let's skip ahead. I don't know, chosen at random
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, Carly Simon, Okay, Lionel Ritchie Rocker, Pat
Speaker 2: Bennettar and their husband Neil Giralda oh is a big
Speaker 2: part of the band.
Speaker 1: I don't understand the term rock and roll. I guess
Speaker 1: as part of it. What do they just call it?
Speaker 1: The Music Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2: Well, Dolly Parton, famous rocker, was inducted in twenty twenty
Speaker 2: two uh judas Priest Musical Excellence, as opposed to performer.
Speaker 2: I don't even know what that is. A bunch of executives.
Speaker 2: Alan Grubman got the am Artigon Award. Congratulations, Rhythmics, fine
Speaker 2: crafters of fairly original pop. There for a little while,
Speaker 2: they had some great songs.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I'm fine with all that. I like Leonel Ritchie, I,
Speaker 1: I like a lot of this stuff, But I just
Speaker 1: don't understand what rock and roll means. Eminem Duran Squared, Eminem,
Speaker 1: Bella Fontine Rocker, Eminem.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I what, ever.
Speaker 1: The most interesting thing I've learned about music recently. You
Speaker 1: brought to us a couple of weeks ago that when
Speaker 1: you hear a song from the fifties and they talk
Speaker 1: about dancing, they mean sex. Ever since then, every time
Speaker 1: I hear one of these songs like Wow, okay, I
Speaker 1: want to dance with you all night long. When I
Speaker 1: was a kid, I was like, man, these people like dancing.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't like dancing that much, and I
Speaker 1: don't know anybody who likes that, but these people really
Speaker 1: really like dancing.
Speaker 2: A large percentage at the time, Yes, they don't mean dancing,
Speaker 2: they mean blanking. Now, if they say rock you, that's
Speaker 2: one hundred percent means blank you, I.
Speaker 1: Want to rock you all night long?
Speaker 2: Sure, please? A child like a hurricane. No, no, it's
Speaker 2: not getting a baby to sleep. No, indeed, it's it's
Speaker 2: just you change a couple of letters and you get
Speaker 2: what they're really talking about. And I find it disgusting.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what seems you do you like today, Joe?
Speaker 1: But it seems kind of almost nothing. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: not I'm not, you know, a prude who denies the
Speaker 1: reality of being a young man. But a song that
Speaker 1: basically just says, man, I'd like to have sex with
Speaker 1: you is not very artistic, so I'm glad they use
Speaker 1: some euphemisms. She's hot, I'd like to have sex with
Speaker 1: her is the name of this song. And then I'll
Speaker 1: just repeat it over and over again. What is that kidding?
Speaker 1: So and all the other guys?
Speaker 2: So whatever, Yeah, looking at this year's class whatever that means,
Speaker 2: I don't even know.
Speaker 1: Wow, this is the title. Just call this one Joe's
Speaker 1: Onui will be the name of this podcast.
Speaker 2: A tribe called Quest really really interesting musically, just trying
Speaker 2: to draw in a different constituency. I get it now,
Speaker 2: Like I've been to the country mus school and the gang. Right.
Speaker 1: The Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville that I've
Speaker 1: been to is fantastic. I loved that. I didn't get
Speaker 1: much out of the rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: for some reason. Songwriters Hall of Fame is very cool.
Speaker 1: The museum they've got up in Seattle, the whatever it
Speaker 1: is a Purple Experience or whatever they call it, because
Speaker 1: that's Jimmy hendricks hometown. But it has really got some
Speaker 1: really cool stuff too, not just Hendricks, just all kinds
Speaker 1: of different stuff.
Speaker 2: Now, what if they call it the Museum of Pop
Speaker 2: Culture Now or something? I do not know. Yeah, so, Katie,
Speaker 2: the coolest stuff at the Rock and Roll Hall of
Speaker 2: Fame and this is Gone now is a special exhibition
Speaker 2: was in the style the font of Pink Floyd's The
Speaker 2: Wall album. All the cover art was Roger Waters explaining
Speaker 2: why he wrote that, and it was about how he'd
Speaker 2: become this giant rock star. And at one point there
Speaker 2: was like a net separating them from the crowd, like
Speaker 2: down below, and a guy was climbing up the net,
Speaker 2: and for some reason he spit on the guy and
Speaker 2: he had this enormous moment of oh my god, what
Speaker 2: have I become? And so he wrote a story about
Speaker 2: a guy seduced by fame and fortune in drugs who'd
Speaker 2: become this fascist monster that sickened himself. And I thought, wow,
Speaker 2: because that's always been one of my favorite albums. And
Speaker 2: they liked that.
Speaker 1: That's the one cool thing and they took that out.
Speaker 2: I think. So I'd love seeing Joe Strummer's telecaster because
Speaker 2: I'm a huge clash freak. And then the only other
Speaker 2: thing that left an impression was some of Keith Richards
Speaker 2: and Mick Jagger's stage clothing that they used to swap
Speaker 2: clothes with their girlfriends because they all had like twenty
Speaker 2: three inch waists. Yeah, they were tiny, skinny little fellas.
Speaker 2: Speed and cigarettes will do that, I guess.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And pre McDonald's so, why did dude spit on
Speaker 1: the guy? Why did he do that?
Speaker 2: Because he'd become a monster that he didn't recognize. But well,
Speaker 2: I kind of sick with his own power and cynicism.
Speaker 1: Wow, it's hard to imagine getting to a point you'd
Speaker 1: spit on your fans.
Speaker 2: Yeah, one of your own fans. Yeah, Well, it's sickened him,
Speaker 2: of course. Now he's endorsing Vladimir Putin, so Rogers not
Speaker 2: always at the best judgment.
Speaker 1: We were in I think we're in Idaho, and we
Speaker 1: kept seeing signs for the Onion Hall of Fame, and
Speaker 1: I kept threatening the kids that we were going to
Speaker 1: go there.
Speaker 2: Look, hey, hey, pipe down back there, or I'll take
Speaker 2: you to the Onion Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: Look, my job as a dad is to expose you
Speaker 1: to a lot of different things. It going to be
Speaker 1: a great learning experience. I kept hammering this for a
Speaker 1: long time. They talked for sure I was going to
Speaker 1: make them go to the Onion Hall of Fame. We
Speaker 1: stayed in the night nearby, and so we got to
Speaker 1: get up early because the Onion Hall of Fame, I'd
Speaker 1: looked it up. It opens at eight, and I want
Speaker 1: to get there before it gets crowded. I doubt it
Speaker 1: ever gets crowded. Yeah, you gotta go. It opening right
Speaker 1: when it opens otherwise. Yeah, it's just you don't have
Speaker 1: to wait long for two hours to get it into
Speaker 1: the Onion Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2: Lessiers Clash includes a pound and a half of Dalia
Speaker 2: onion and a red onion that's said to have the
Speaker 2: finest flavor profile of the last twenty years.
Speaker 1: They wouldn't allow grilled onions in until twenty fifteen, and
Speaker 1: that was a huge controversy.
Speaker 2: Oh I remember, I remember, well.
Speaker 1: Join us next time.
Speaker 2: When Joel Air his complains about Chane restaurants of the
Speaker 2: nineteen nineties, well I guess that's it.
