1
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Buzz Night.

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 2: And this is the Take in a Walk podcast. And

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 2: this is another edition of This Week in Music History

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 2: for the week of December twenty ninth into January fourth.

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 2: So Master of Music Mayhem Harry Jacobs. This is officially

6
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 2: Heart twenty twenty five, Part twenty twenty six, isn't it.

7
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's dual year. Absolutely it is.

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 2: Boy that is really going to make my head fly off.

9
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 2: But I think we could make a run of it.

10
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 3: No, I'll make it easy. We're going to start with

11
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 3: a bang. It's about Elvis. This is kind of interesting.

12
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 3: He made history on this date with ten simultaneous top

13
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 3: one hundred songs in nineteen fifty six. I mean, here's

14
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 3: just a few Heartbreak, Hotel Houndog, Don't Be Cruel and

15
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 3: Love Me Tender. We're part of that group of songs.

16
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 3: Imagine that, having ten simultaneous songs in the top one.

17
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 3: I don't think anyone's ever done it since a little Beatlesque. Yeah,

18
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 3: a little Beatlesque, but I don't I didn't see the

19
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 3: Beatles do that. The Beatles, I mean, the Beatles did

20
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 3: some great things. You know, they had multiple years in

21
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 3: a row on Christmas with number one songs and all that,

22
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 3: but I you know, I don't think that anyone has

23
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 3: beaten that record of ten inside the top one hundred.

24
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: Listen, I need to throwing shade at Elvis.

25
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 3: Okay, you know while you're while you're doing this, I'm

26
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 3: literally going to our sponsor while you're running your mouth.

27
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 3: You know, I'm just gonna go to Claude AI, a

28
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 3: sponsor of the show Claude dot a. I did anyone

29
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 3: have ten songs simultaneously in the hot one hundred besides Elvis?

30
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess Poplo Cruise is going to pop up?

31
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 3: What you're gonna do when she says goodbye? How's that

32
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 3: for a little unaided recall?

33
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: That's not bad?

34
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 4: Oh oh, I was wrong. I should have thought about this.

35
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 4: Taylor Swift, oh swifty top ten the entire top ten

36
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 4: of the Hot one hundred on three separate, O k oh,

37
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 4: I'm a moron.

38
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 3: Oh boy, this is a demerit. Drake occupied nine of

39
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 3: the top ten positions in twenty twenty one, and the

40
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 3: Beatles locked down the entire top five only in nineteen

41
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 3: sixty four, so Elvis's achievement was matched and exceeded, and

42
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 3: streaming obviously changes the way things work. But let's not

43
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 3: take anything away from the king. Nineteen fifty six, ten

44
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 3: songs in the top one hundred, so not bad.

45
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: I would never take anything from away from who I

46
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: affectionately called the Master of mutton chops.

47
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's that's him.

48
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 2: You're the master of music mayhem. He was the master

49
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: of other muddon chops, mutton chops.

50
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty one, Adele's album twenty one became the

51
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 3: fourth biggest seller in the United Kingdom of all time.

52
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 3: This gave her the biggest selling album of all time

53
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 3: by a solo artist in the United Kingdom and a

54
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 3: twenty three week run is the longest by any female

55
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 3: solo artist in the US. It was number one for

56
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 3: like twenty five or twenty four weeks, longest by anyone

57
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 3: for that period, from like nineteen eighty five it looks

58
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 3: like to twenty twenty one, So a nice run for

59
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: that Adele album twenty one. In nineteen sixty six, Paul

60
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 3: McCartney began working on Penny Lane. He said publicly has

61
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 3: said publicly on a number of occasions that he got

62
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 3: the inspiration from pets sounds. They were all everyone was

63
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 3: watching what everyone else was doing. I mean, I'm sure

64
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 3: that does. I mean, that's always the way it is.

65
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 3: But in particular, this was an interesting time for music

66
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 3: with Phil Specter and the Beatles and the Beats Boys

67
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 3: all kind of playing with the wall of sound and

68
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 3: having a lot going on in their music.

69
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 2: And none of them admitted then really that there was

70
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 2: this competitiveness going on. At least they were not really that,

71
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: you know, boisterous about admitting it. But then, as we

72
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 2: would learn later, there was always intense competitiveness going on.

73
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, the lyrics had nothing to do with the Beats Boys.

74
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 3: That actually is a reference to their origins as young

75
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 3: men in Liverpool and Penny Lane in Liverpool. So nineteen

76
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 3: sixty eight, we've talked about this, talked about it last week.

77
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 3: Led Zeppelin played at the Civic Auditorium in Portland. They

78
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 3: opened on that tour for Vanilla Fudge. Just an odd

79
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 3: pairing musically. They'd love Dodd pairings back then. Yeah, they

80
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 3: that certainly did. Interesting day in nineteen sixty seven. Dave

81
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 3: Mason quick Traffic the band really, I mean they were

82
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 3: formed in sixty six or sixty seven, so he wasn't

83
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 3: with them for a long time. He actually wrote Feeling

84
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 3: all Right, which of course you know later became really

85
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 3: became a hit with Joe Cocker's version of it. Dave

86
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 3: Mason was nineteen at that time. Wow, so another young guy,

87
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 3: you know this was you know, think about it. Steve

88
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 3: Winwood was sixteen with Gimme Some Loving, you know at

89
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 3: that time with Spencer Davis and you know, a good

90
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 3: time for kids.

91
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: Dave would later go on.

92
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 3: To play acoustic guitar on All Along the Watchtower, which

93
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 3: makes sense to me now because it was a song

94
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:48,799
Speaker 3: that he played live often. His version of it, I've seen.

95
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and actually it was on his his white album

96
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 2: whatever that one was called too.

97
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: He did a version of it. Yeah, great, great, great version.

98
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 2: But he played with way he played session wise with Hendrix.

99
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 3: Is that what he did? He didn't And then he

100
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 3: also played on All Things Must Pass and he played

101
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 3: on Beggar's Banquet with the Stones as well, so he

102
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 3: you know, he participated in a number of projects, big

103
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 3: big projects really at the time.

104
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, great session work. Yeah.

105
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 3: He has struggled in recent years with health issues. He's

106
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 3: actually ended up retiring in June of this past year

107
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,239
Speaker 3: related to you know, heart issues that he was having,

108
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 3: you know, consistently, and there was an infection really that

109
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,559
Speaker 3: caused him to say, you know, and I just can't

110
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 3: can't do it anymore, so.

111
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: Wrote a book I think too. Yeah, you're correct, sir.

112
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 3: In nineteen sixty two, Bob Dylan played the troubadour during

113
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 3: his first trip to London for Bucky.

114
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 2: He still loved doing those press conferences where he was

115
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: just holding back in his own way, not really giving anything,

116
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 2: but actually having a lot of fun jousting.

117
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: With the reporters. Those were pretty cool to look at.

118
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 3: He enjoyed being kind of elusive, being you know, a

119
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 3: little snotty, right.

120
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: I would say maybe he does still enjoy that.

121
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're probably right about that. On December thirtieth, Bo

122
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 3: Diddley recorded his first single, Bo Diddley. It was the

123
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 3: B side, or actually the B side was I'm a Man,

124
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 3: So two really big songs at once. Legendary version of

125
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 3: that song was bos I'm a Man and Bo Diddley,

126
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 3: which is, you know, famous the Bo Diddley beat. Right.

127
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 3: He was born Ellis Otha Bates, and then he changed

128
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 3: it to Ellis McDaniel and then finally Bo Diddley. I

129
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 3: love it.

130
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: I love those names.

131
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that signature guitar of his was a cigar box,

132
00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 3: that rectangular looking guitar that he played, It's a cigar box.

133
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 3: As a cigar smoker, I always identify that very easily

134
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 3: and always look good in a sharp suit and those

135
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 3: dark sunglasses. Bo Diddley nineteen fifty five, December thirtieth for

136
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 3: Bo Diddley and I'm a Man. In two thousand and nine,

137
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 3: Neil Young was made an Officer of the Order of Canada.

138
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: That's their highest or second highest.

139
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 3: Civilian honor that you can get. So interesting award for Neil.

140
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 2: Have you seen the Neil Young thing where he's playing

141
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 2: in a pham booth and he's doing Gordon lightfoots if

142
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 2: you could read my mind? Oh no, yeah, you got

143
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 2: to check that out. It's a pretty great version. It's

144
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 2: pretty it's bizarre in its own way, but it's a

145
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 2: pretty great version.

146
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: Definitely check that out. Ohone booth, Okay, I'll do that. Yeah,

147
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: I love that song by Gordon Lightfoot.

148
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 3: So I just saw something with him on you driving

149
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 3: through you know, Toronto or Saint Catharine's or somewherever. He's

150
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 3: from you know, talking about his career and you know,

151
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 3: while he's driving his pickup truck.

152
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: Yep.

153
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 3: So at any rate, Ivan Wrightman, Mario Lemieux, the Great

154
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 3: hockey player, and Burton Cummings also received that award. The

155
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 3: Officer of the Order in Canada as well.

156
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 2: I think you're deserving of the Officer of Mayhem award.

157
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 3: I will take it, will and I will take it

158
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 3: any awards, any trophies. Nineteen ninety nine, George Harrison and

159
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 3: his wife Olivia. You probably remember this. They were attacked

160
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 3: in their home by some knife wielding lunatic. Police say

161
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 3: that it was not just a robbery or a home invasion.

162
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 3: This was a targeted attack on George Harrison in Hawaii, right, correct, Yeah, correct.

163
00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: I believe at the time he was also battling lung Camp,

164
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 3: so I don't know that we knew anything about that

165
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 3: at the time, but he ended up losing that battle

166
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty one to lung cancer. So an awful thing.

167
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 3: You know. I think we were all kind of scratching

168
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 3: our heads after what happened to John and think, you know,

169
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 3: this is just it's bad.

170
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: Yep.

171
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 3: The Soviet Union USSR dissolved in nineteen ninety one on

172
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 3: this date, kind of a big and important date in

173
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 3: seventy We can't get through one of these weeks without

174
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 3: something beatles, and this isn't really a great one. In

175
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 3: nineteen seventy Paul ended up filing suit against the other

176
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 3: three boys because they had failed to dissolve their agreement.

177
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 3: He moved to dissolve the band, the partnership. He indicated

178
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 3: in the lawsuit that it was because they weren't touring,

179
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 3: they weren't doing anything anymore, and of course John in

180
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 3: I think August of six sixty nine, had basically started

181
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 3: telling people that he was done. They didn't formally break up,

182
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 3: according to the legal process until nineteen seventy five. Late

183
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 3: seventy four or early seventy five is when they were

184
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 3: actually dissolved as a band.

185
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: Crazy to think about that, Yeah, yeah, but.

186
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 3: It's one of those you know. It was a it

187
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 3: was a business deal, and McCartney was pissed that they

188
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 3: went and got a business manager after they were done touring.

189
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 3: The other three guys went and hired a guy by

190
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 3: the name Alan Klein. McCartney wasn't included in that process

191
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 3: and that set him off and he filed suit and

192
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 3: you know, played out and played out in court, like

193
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 3: so many of these things do.

194
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,280

00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 3: do what his left arm couldn't do.

242
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 2: It's pretty incredible really when you think about it. And

243

Speaker 3: Leppard and I spent a lot of time with Rick Allen.

253
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 3: I actually got to sit at his kit and I

254
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 3: got to film him play, and I got to watch

255
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 3: his feet, you know, work and play the drums and

256
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 3: sitting at his kit was really kind of cool. It's cool,

257
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 3: and he encouraged me to, you know, to just play

258
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 3: try it. This is what I'm you know, this is

Speaker 3: event for think if you could get it. Yeah, And

267
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 3: this one we're going to kind of cover two things here.

268
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 3: The first is, of course it's New Year's Eve, and

269
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 3: you can't think about New Year's without thinking about Dick Clark.

270
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 3: The tradition of the ball drop happened in nineteen oh seven.

271
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 3: But you know Dick Clark really, you know, we grew

272
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 3: up watching him, right I certainly you know, in the

273
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 3: seventies it was a big deal for me to you know,

274
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 3: be able to stay up till midnight and watch him

275
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 3: at Times Square. And it is.

276
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 2: Really cool to look at in general of American bandstand

277
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 2: things on YouTube. It's it's a it's such it's such

278
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: a funny looking format. When you watch it these days,

279
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 2: you see, you know, you'll see a great performance from

280
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 2: you know, a superstar, and then for the balance of

281
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 2: the show, you see you know, the I don't know

282
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 2: if they were actors or some actors and some real people,

283
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 2: but you see them up there doing dancing. It's a

284
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 2: really funny format. But there's some great you know, there's

285
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 2: history performances there.

286
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 3: Oh my god. Yeah, that show ran for thirty two years,

287
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 3: went from nineteen fifty seven to nineteen eighty nine. Yeah,

288
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 3: hosted that show. This was probably one of the most

289
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,959
Speaker 3: influential music shows on television.

290
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 2: And I do give him, on one hand, a lot

291
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 2: of credit for, you know, after his stroke, how he

292
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 2: would continue to host. On one hand, but on the

293
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 2: other hand, it was sad too. It was a little

294
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 2: it became very hard to watch, you know.

295
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, the last year or two that he did it

296
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 3: was really like, oh, I don't know that I can

297
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 3: watch this right right, And and you know, when you

298
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 3: think about it. He was you know, I don't know

299
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 3: what the actual nickname was, but he was like, you know,

300
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 3: America's teenager, right. He just he was the guy that

301
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 3: just didn't you know. He was you know Rob Lowe

302
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 3: or Bob Costas, you know what I mean that with

303
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 3: that young kind of look of his.

304
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: And he maintained it.

305
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 3: He literally maintained it till he didn't right until until

306
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 3: the end where it just it looked rough.

307
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: He was a good businessman.

308
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 3: I'll tell you that. He was a cutthroat guy. The

309
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 3: the and I never met him, but the talk about

310
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 3: him was that he was really a cutthroat guy. He

311
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 3: was a medium mogul on his own. I think he's

312
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 3: you know, responsible in a lot of ways for you know,

313
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 3: Ryan Seacrest's success. Yeah, he you know, backed Ryan created

314
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 3: a whole bunch of different game shows and music specials.

315
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 3: He shaped the delivery system for how we got music

316
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 3: with Bandstand. Anybody that was anyone went through that show

317
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 3: during that period of time, especially you know, through the

318
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 3: middle of the eighties or the early eighties at a minimum,

319
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 3: you know, from fifty seven to call it fifty seven

320
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 3: to eighty eighty five, probably anyone that was anyone went

321
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 3: on American Bandstand.

322
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 2: Was the cutthroat aspect of it, though partially what we

323
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 2: see late night television how it became cutthroat, where you know,

324
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 2: filling the blank. Host needed to have the big guest

325
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 2: and no one else could have Adam. So was it

326
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 2: over guests on the show the cutthroat aspect, I'm not

327
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 2: really sure. Or was it just in contract negotiations with

328
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:48,719
Speaker 2: people or all the above.

329
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 3: I think probably a little bit of all of the above.

330
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 3: I think there was this side to Dick Clark that

331
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 3: we never saw. You know, we're used to seeing friendly,

332
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 3: affable Dick Clark, but when you got him at his

333
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 3: desk or you were in his office allegedly was he

334
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 3: was tough. He was no bs. He knew what he had,

335
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 3: he knew the power of his brand, and he used

336
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 3: it and any rate. He did host the New Year's

337
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 3: Rock and Eve Show starting in nineteen seventy two. I'm

338
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 3: not sure what year he did his last one, but

339
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 3: you know the last couple were rough. January first we

340
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 3: go to we're now in talking, you know, twenty twenty six?

341
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 1: Round the next year, where's Andy Cohen? Oh? Sorry?

342
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 3: Andy? And Anderson, Andy and Anderson, The Beatles' Magical Mystery

343
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 3: Tour topped the U West charts in sixty eight. In

344
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 3: sixty four, Top of the Pops premiered. That was really

345
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 3: the kind of the British version of the United Kates

346
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 3: version of Bandstand. Right, several years after Bandstand seven, I

347
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 3: think seven years after Bandstand is when Top of the

348
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 3: Pops premiered, and in the United Kingdom, anyone that was

349
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:20,199
Speaker 3: anyone was on that show. Stones, Bowie Kinks, you know,

350
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 3: We're even you know, running to you know, into the

351
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 3: eighties or nineties, Nirvana, right, a lot of people. That

352
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 3: show ran until two thousand and six. That was a

353
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 3: that was a big deal over there, and I think

354
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 3: you know they really they kind of copied what the

355
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 3: great Dick Clark did with with Bandstand. For good reason.

356
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 3: Nineteen fifty three, Hank Williams passed away. He was only

357
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 3: twenty nine. He realized how young you realize that he's

358
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 3: twenty nine?

359
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: Hard living?

360
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, A bunch of great songs, Hey good looking.

361
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 3: One of his songs, You're Cheating Heart, I'm so lonesome,

362
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 3: I could cry. I just all the you know, the

363
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 3: country cliches yep. Right, they say heart failure, so I'm

364
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 3: sure it just it stopped.

365
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: Yep.

366
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 3: Nineteen eighty nine, a new grunge band from Seattle signed

367
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 3: a one year deal. They recorded their first album, which

368
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 3: was called Bleach for some of the Marbles. Who is

369
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 3: that band?

370
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: Wow? I mean I would say it's Nirvana, wouldn't I

371
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: that's correct. Havana's first album was Bleach. It was Nirvana.

372
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 2: I was starting to panics for a second, breaking into

373
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 2: a cold sweat.

374
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 3: You got some of the curten James Brown, Here, you've

375
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 3: got some of the marbles back bus, Okay. Nineteen seventy seven,

376
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 3: The Clash opened the Roxy Club in London. They headlined

377
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 3: the opening night there and this would really kick off

378
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:56,719
Speaker 3: what was their first ever punk review in the United Kingdom.

379
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 3: I never we've talked about this. I never get into

380
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 3: the class you were, you know, a class fan, right? Yeah?

381
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 3: Oh yeah? I liked him, Yeah, I appreciate him. I

382
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 3: just never you know, I didn't buy the I didn't

383
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 3: have the albums. I mean, I think I'm you know,

384
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 3: maybe because I was around the radio stations, I would

385
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 3: get them, but I don't think at the time it

386
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 3: was anything I would I would buy.

387
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: I like that lost in the supermarket. That was that

388
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 1: deep deep track. I don't know from that song lost

389
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: classic or deep track or whatever we'll call it.

390
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 3: In nineteen sixty seven, The Doors made their TV debut

391
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 3: on a show called Shebang. You know from Shebang, I

392
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 3: don't know much.

393
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: From Shebang, they lip synced break on through. Oh in

394
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: shocking that they would, geez.

395
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 3: Yeah they did. I'm sure that. Like The Stones and Who,

396
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 3: they probably pushed back on the concept of lip syncing.

397
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 3: All right, let us play it. Johnny Cash in nineteen

398
00:23:55,960 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 3: fifty nine played a free concert at San Quentin. It

399
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 3: was a legendary event. He played with Merle Haggard at

400
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 3: that event, and then ten years later he went back

401
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 3: for another huge concert and they made an album of

402
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 3: that show, Johnny Cash Live at San Quentin. That was

403
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 3: one of the one of the death row prisons.

404
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.

405
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 3: I went by there not long ago, I think two

406
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 3: or three years ago, and as I was driving by,

407
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 3: I was with my mom, who lives up there, and

408
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 3: I said, oh shit, there's San Quentin, and you know,

409
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 3: I wanted to pull over and you know, and she said, Harry,

410
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 3: don't say that word. Yeah, exactly.

411
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 2: And boy, if you haven't seen Tricky Dick and the

412
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 2: Man in Black documentary, totally unbelievable.

413
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, you know what that's and it's funny.

414
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 3: I do have a list in my notes on my

415
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 3: phone that's that's been on there for quite some time.

416
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 3: Probably time I checked that, checked the box off on

417
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 3: that one.

418
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: You know, he recommended that to me, was his jelly roll.

419
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: Oh no kidding, Yeah, Oh, he just got pardoned.

420
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 3: I saw as we see here to record this where

421
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 3: we're a little bit ahead of the game as we recorded.

422
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 3: But just this this week he was pardoned. A moving

423
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 3: event for him. He was a guest on an early

424
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 3: guest on taking out early for him, on taking a walk.

425
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 3: He was great.

426
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's always welcome back, but for some reason, I

427
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 2: don't think he'll be back. Well yeah, you know, he's

428
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 2: probably reached that point so he's yeah, he can't go

429
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 2: anywhere and do his life has changed. You know, what

430
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 2: was your takeaway or or take away from your time

431
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 2: with him. I remember listening to that and I didn't

432
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 2: know anything about him, and I remember you talking about

433
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 2: him prior to the interview, kind of encouraging me to

434
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 2: go and listen and pay attention to be aware of

435
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 2: this guy. And then I heard it and started to

436
00:25:58,520 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 2: listen to the music.

437
00:25:59,200 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 3: I was just blown away.

438
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 1: Well, I mean then he.

439
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 2: Was on the rise, and he certainly, you know, was

440
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 2: generous with time. I would record it virtually and then

441
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 2: I think see him in person at an event and

442
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 2: talk to him like a.

443
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: Week or two after that.

444
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 2: So he's very, very easy to talk to, very like

445
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 2: I said, generous with the time. I was sort of

446
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 2: looking at it like a like a stock pick, and

447
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 2: I was like, this guy, I don't know, there's something

448
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 2: going to be happening there. So I've been wrong about

449
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 2: those sort of things with artists many times, but I

450
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 2: was right with that one.

451
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 3: And there's no telling, you know, what happens with these

452
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 3: guys that we see that are talented, that you'll get

453
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 3: on as a as a guest, whether they'll hit it

454
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 3: or not. You know, it's the great question, you know

455
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 3: everyone has. Do we have what it takes?

456
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just don't know. You know, where's the luck?

457
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 2: You know, where does the airplay go into it? And

458
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 2: what tour do they get on that further helps him

459
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 2: break out. It's there's no rhyme or reason, but it's

460
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 2: kind of fun to take a shot and pick somebody.

461
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 3: You know. The interview is great, especially to go back

462
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 3: now for those of you that are listening and are

463
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 3: fans of Jelly Role, you know, go back, you know,

464
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 3: wherever you listen to podcasts and look for the Jelly

465
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 3: Roll interview that Buzz did. It's he's so friendly, he's

466
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 3: so affable, he's so willing to just to just talk.

467
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 3: He was great with you, and he.

468
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 2: Was on Music Saved Me Too with Linda Yeah.

469
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 3: On January second, the Beatles convene for their twelfth, their

470
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 3: final album, to start recording Let It Be, and it

471
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 3: was later documented. There's you know video we had seen

472
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 3: over the years, but it was in Get Back, which

473
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 3: I believe was on Hulu, was where they showed a

474
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 3: majority of those sessions. Yep. And that's really neat to

475
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 3: watch if you're a Beatles fan. Nineteen sixty nine, a

476
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 3: shipment of John and Yoko's album Two Virgins was seized

477
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 3: in New Jersey. You know why it was seized The

478
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 3: nudity there, that's correct, part of graph full full full

479
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 3: on frontal nudity that none of us needed to see

480
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 3: and none of us can unsee it was.

481
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: It was something I'll tell you that.

482
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it was not It was not good. In

483
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 3: nineteen seventy nine, Sid Vicious went on trial accused of

484
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 3: killing his girlfriend Nancy. You hear about Sid and Nancy?

485
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah.

486
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 3: He ended up getting out on bail, and then a

487
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 3: month later he suffered an overdose. He never stood trial

488
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 3: for Nancy's death. Wow, yeah, crazy story for poor Sid.

489
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 3: From The Sex Pistols nineteen ninety four. I've got kind

490
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 3: of a a brush with this. We both have a

491
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 3: brush with this. The meat Loaf album Bat Out of

492
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 3: Hell two Back Into Hell came out, began a four

493
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 3: week run in the United Kingdom, and he would go

494
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 3: on to tour for you know, a year and a

495
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 3: half or something after that. When I started to work

496
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 3: for you at w ZLX, meat Loaf came and visited

497
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 3: us and spent some time with Chuck Nolan one afternoon.

498
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 3: You know, one of one of the jobs I enjoyed

499
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 3: about my job was that when when someone came to town

500
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 3: and was coming to the radio station, I got to

501
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 3: take the elevator down and go meet them, meet them

502
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 3: at their car, meet them wherever they were coming. From

503
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 3: and I got to spend a few minutes with meat

504
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 3: Loaf and bring them up to Chuck.

505
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: He was a good dude.

506
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 2: We played softball together back in the I ninety five

507
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 2: Connecticut radio station days, and it's a pretty good softball player.

508
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: And he was. He was a nice, nice guy.

509
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 2: Okay, for all the marbles, master of music, Mayhem. What's

510
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 2: Meatloaf's real name?

511
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: Oh?

512
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 4: Mark?

513
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 3: Really? Come on? What do I look like?

514
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: I look like a Marvin to you? You Marvin a day? Okay? Good?

515
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 3: Oh yeah?

516
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: Who are you talking to with these monstucles? Come on, man,

517
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: come on, man.

518
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 3: What I'll never forget about meat Loaf is when he

519
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 3: was getting ready for the Chuck Nolan interview, Chuck played

520
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 3: I think, Chuck played, I'd do anything for love, but

521
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 3: I won't do that, and Meet Loaf was sitting instead

522
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 3: of talking to Chuck. He was sitting with his headphones

523
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 3: on and his hands on the headphones, and he was

524
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 3: lip syncing and singing along with the song and his

525
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 3: headphones like he hadn't heard it enough. That's crazy. Yeah,

526
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 3: I'll never forget that. But Meet Loaf at ZLX with

527
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 3: our pal Chuck Nolan got an episode with Chuck Nolan,

528
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 3: it's out there.

529
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: Oh yes, we had a blast at Emmanual College. It

530
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: was fantastic in front of a bunch of students.

531
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 3: For those of you Boston folks and non Boston folks

532
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 3: that want to hear someone that's just a great, entertaining,

533
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 3: legendary Boston job. Chuck Nolan is on taking a walk.

534
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 3: The college event was great. I know you look forward

535
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 3: to it. When I talked a bunch of a bunch

536
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 3: about it, I've known Chuck for a long time myself.

537
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun.

538
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 2: I don't think Chuck will ever speak to me again

539
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 2: since that, but you know, I gave it my best.

540
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 3: I'm sure, I'm sure it was fine. You know, this

541
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 3: is an interesting thing. This has gotten nothing to do

542
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 3: with music. But in nineteen sixty one, JFK announced the

543
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 3: Moon mission. You know, by the time all of this

544
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 3: happened and the moon landing happened, you know, there's still

545
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 3: people out there, you know, the I don't want to

546
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 3: insult anyone, but the tenfoil hat, you know, conspiracy folks

547
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 3: that think this just it never happened, right. They point

548
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 3: to all these things that the flag wasn't moving and

549
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 3: there are just things that don't make sense. It was done,

550
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 3: you know, in a studio somewhere. The shadows don't look right.

551
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 3: Whatever the argument is those I think those things have

552
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 3: all been debunked to death. Uh, you know, the government lies.

553
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 3: The media is part of it, you know, and and

554
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 3: and right.

555
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 2: It's fascinating thinking how we live in that world now,

556
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 2: But we lived in that world then. It wasn't as

557
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 2: loud of a outcried back then, but it existed for sure.

558
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 3: You know, did you have feelings when when that happened

559
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 3: that maybe it wasn't real? Were there? What were the rumblings? Like? Never?

560
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: No, I totally believed it to be real and did

561
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: not at all. I think twice about it.

562
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 3: I just you know, I hear it now and I think, boy,

563
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 3: this is like the flat earth folks. Yep, Like it's

564
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 3: just you know, I guess you're free to believe whatever

565
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 3: we want to believe. But yeah, you know where there's

566
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 3: irrefutable proof.

567
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you want to believe that, don't believe that's

568
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 2: free to believe it.

569
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

570
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 3: January third, Bob Dylan recorded like a Rolling Stone. That's

571
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 3: one of those songs I would bet you could do

572
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 3: it too, But it's one of those songs that before

573
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 3: the band kicks in with that first drum beat, when

574
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 3: that song starts, I know exactly what it is. Oh yeah, right, yeah.

575
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 3: That is.

576
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 2: Just every aspect about that song, the session players, Bob,

577
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 2: the lyrics, it just I still love it so much

578
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 2: to this day.

579
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 3: I watched the biopic with Timothy Shallamy with a bunch

580
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 3: of guys that were it are, you know, ten fifteen

581
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 3: years younger than I am that I smoked some cigars

582
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 3: with and when that's and they're not Dylan songs, but

583
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 3: they all wanted to watch the movie, and when that

584
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 3: song came on at the beginning of the movie, everyone

585
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 3: was tapping there.

586
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: You don't have to be a Dylan.

587
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 3: Fan to appreciate that. That song like a rolling Stone

588
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 3: jendary song from nineteen sixty five. The song is going

589
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 3: to be sixty one years old this year. Crazy to

590
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 3: think about that.

591
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 2: I got to point out a Bob Dylan thing that

592
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 2: I just discovered and that I know the audience will

593
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 2: love it and you'll love it so YouTube something called

594
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 2: Experiment n Sam E N Sam. The name of the

595
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 2: director is Anders Helgsen, and so it's a finished director

596
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 2: and basically Dylan plays a concert just for the director.

597
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 1: Really, yes, huh. It is the strangest thing.

598
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 2: Bob seems to enjoy it, actually smiles at the end,

599
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 2: not like a rehearsal type show, like a real show.

600
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 1: We I haven't seen the full.

601
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 2: You know, it's not available to my knowledge, but fourteen

602
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 2: minutes is fascinating to watch. It was done as some

603
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 2: sort of social experiment. They pitched Bob on it through

604
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 2: his manager and Bob was like, yeah, I like it.

605
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 2: No one knows if Bob got paid a pile of

606
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 2: money for it or not. I think there was like

607
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,919
Speaker 2: a finished gaming company that possibly was involved with this thing.

608
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 2: But the concert took place in Philadelphia. Bob happened to

609
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,919
Speaker 2: have been doing a run of shows in Philadelphia. And

610
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:35,399
Speaker 2: it's absolutely just bizarre, fascinating and if you're a Dylan fan,

611
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 2: I think you'll love it.

612
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 3: I'm wondering what year was this done? Oh, there it is, Yeah,

613
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 3: this was just three years ago.

614
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't know anything about it till and the way,

615
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 2: I'll give credit to the person who revealed it or

616
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 2: let the world know. He's got a really cool newsletter.

617
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 2: A guy named Ray paget Pa d G. E. T.

618
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 2: T had him on a long time ago. He's like

619
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 2: a Dylan authority and he's written a couple of blogs

620
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 2: about it. One call how the Bob Dylan concert for

621
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 2: one person came to be and he gives them behind

622
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 2: the scenes there with the director and everything.

623
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: It's a trip.

624
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 3: Very interesting. I'm just looking. I'm gonna go down this.

625
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 3: I'm gonna keep that YouTube page open and as a

626
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 3: bunch of stuff on it on YouTube. That's great. Yep, good,

627
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 3: good tip on that buzz. Nineteen eighty seven, Aretha Franklin

628
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 3: was the first woman to be inducted into the Rock

629
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:28,959
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame.

630
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: Queenis Soul?

631
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 3: Oh the best? Yep, this is an interesting fact. In

632
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four, on this date, it was announced that

633
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 3: the Beatles had the biggest selling vinyl single of twenty

634
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 3: twenty three with Now and Then. That was the song

635
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 3: they had put out song that John recorded in seventy seven,

636
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 3: and then Ringo and Paul added tracks to it. They

637
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 3: finished it off and there was something left over for

638
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 3: vocals from George and for guitar overdubs. It was part

639
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 3: of I think it was part of that series of

640
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 3: albums from nineteen ninety five ninety six, that collection that

641
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 3: they released. It was a leftover song that they had,

642
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 3: so there was stuff that was there from George available

643
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,760
Speaker 3: to them, and it was really the last New Beatles

644
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,320
Speaker 3: song that they said that.

645
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 2: We've talked about those releases over the years, how we

646
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 2: feel about it. For me, that's that one was a

647
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 2: prime indicator that, Okay, I'm all for finding unearthed rarities

648
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 2: and that type of stuff. That's different just trying to

649
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 2: bring a session together in twenty twenty four eh coming.

650
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:54,359
Speaker 3: Into the work. In twenty fourteen, Phil every passed away

651
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 3: lung disease. He and his brother recorded some legendary tracks.

652
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 3: You know. Brian Wilson gives them credit for being an inspiration.

653
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 3: Wake Up Little Susie and All I Have to Do

654
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 3: Is Dream. Those were the two big ones that I

655
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 3: can remember. But they were influential on a lot of

656
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 3: music in the sixties.

657
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 2: And Warren Zevon was part of that whole. That's right,

658
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,280
Speaker 2: that band, that's right, it's a musical director.

659
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 3: I think you want to talk about a stunningly wonderful

660
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 3: disposition on a human being. Warren Zevon is like, you know,

661
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 3: the antithesis of that is what he was.

662
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: He did have a heart and soul when he wanted to.

663
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 3: He did. And you know the people that like David

664
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 3: Letterman is a huge Zevon fan. Yeah right, I mean

665
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 3: it was just a huge Zevon fan, and we were

666
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 3: both Zvon. I'm a Zvon fan. But I think you know,

667
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 3: it's a different thing that happens when when you have

668
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 3: a little bit in Neither of us had a relationship.

669
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 3: I just I spent the day with him when we

670
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 3: were doing a show. Yeah, it seemed like a year.

671
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 3: I lived a lifetime in five or six hours with him.

672
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 3: And he was very interesting at the time. This was

673
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety five or so, and he was juicing at

674
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 3: that point in time, which no one really was. So

675
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 3: we had to run out to a market and get him,

676
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 3: you know, organic carrots and celery and beats and find

677
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 3: a blender. There was some stuff that was like it

678
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,720
Speaker 3: wasn't on the rider, and then you know, a carton

679
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 3: of Paul Malls, like he and har He and Harvey

680
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 3: Warfield are the only two people I knew they ever smoked.

681
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 3: Paul Malls. You Boston folks don't know that name, but

682
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 3: he drove me crazy all day, and I.

683
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 2: Will remember the when he went up there to play

684
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 2: at the Hatshell. I don't know if you were part

685
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 2: of this, but I remember the promotional team was part

686
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 2: of this, where they stood in birdseye view in the

687
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 2: front row so Warren could see, and they all were

688
00:39:55,640 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 2: chewing on carrots to kind of to kind of rub

689
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 2: it back to him.

690
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 3: That's very funny. I wonder if Dan Mavers was behind that.

691
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 3: You can let him know he gets a shout out.

692
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 3: In nineteen seventy six, Hurricane by Bob Dylan peaked at

693
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 3: number thirty three. A lot of discourse around the character

694
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 3: in this song, Ruben Hurricane Carter, who was accused of

695
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 3: killing a man, and this was, you know, a man

696
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 3: that was wrongly accused by police. This was, you know,

697
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 3: a racially motivated setup for Hurricane Carter and just an

698
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 3: awful event. Bob Dylan made a you know, a great song.

699
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, I was listening to Hurricane

700
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 3: before we started this today. Just a great song.

701
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of an odd song. It was kind of

702
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 2: a hit really, so certainly a rock radio hit.

703
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 3: And it was a long song. It's like an eight

704
00:40:55,760 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 3: minute song. Oh yeah, right, kind of, I guess you know. Anyway,

705
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 3: great song, one of my favorites. Yeah, from Bob Dylan

706
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 3: about Ruben Hurricane Carter and he was quite a quite

707
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 3: a fighter. You know. The line in the song is,

708
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 3: you know Ruben said he could take a man out

709
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 3: with just one punch. Yeah, a big, strong, heavy, hard

710
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 3: hitting dude, Hurricane Carter and sixty seven. After getting his

711
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 3: draft notice, Carl Wilson refused to be sworn in, declaring

712
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 3: himself a conscientious subjector remember the Beach Boys, Carl Wilson.

713
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 3: This is big news is sixty seven and a couple

Speaker 3: matter of fact, old January third, January fourth. This is

717
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 3: funny because it's the This is really a slow music week.

718
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 3: You know when we did it last year, there wasn't

719
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 3: really a lot going on. I went really deep for

720
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 3: these couple of weeks around Christmas and New Year's and

721
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 3: there's just a wealth of information that's out there. A

722
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:05,280
Speaker 3: couple little ones here. As we wrap it up in

Speaker 3: nineteen sixty seven, on January fourth, the Doors released their

724
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:14,240
Speaker 3: debut album, and in twenty fifteen, thirty three years after

725
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 3: the album was released, Thriller became the first album to

Speaker 3: sell thirty million copies in the US.

727
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:23,320
Speaker 1: Fifteen years after.

728
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 3: How about that, Crazy, we talked about this the number

00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,919
Speaker 3: two best selling album in the US of all time,

730
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:31,560

00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: You could know this, You should know this.

732
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:38,720

Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it, Eagle's Greatest Hits Volume One. See, I'm

734
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: I'm a little more with it than you might think.

735
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 3: You know, I rarely use these facts in social settings, right,

736
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 3: But I was with a group of guys last week

737
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,720
Speaker 3: here in Vegas and someone was talking about the Eagles,

738
00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 3: and they said, well, the Eagles have the best selling

739
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,280
Speaker 3: album in the US of all time. It's their Greatest

740
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 3: Hits Volume One. I said, oh, contrare. And they're still

741
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 3: playing at the Sphere.

742
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 1: They are playing at the Sphere still.

743
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, crazy, And I would not be surprised. I would

744
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 2: not be surprised that once the Sphere ends, that you

745
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:22,800
Speaker 2: will still be seeing them at a venue near you.

746
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know why they wouldn't continue the Sphere.

747
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 2: No, I don't think the Sphere will at least for

748
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 2: the time being, will continue. Oh okay, but I do

749
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,439
Speaker 2: think they will have other shows in them. I need

750
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 2: to just bite the bullet and buy a ticket unless

751
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:44,479
Speaker 2: you can get to Irving for me or your friend.

752
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 1: Don you guys take a walk at Walden. That might

753
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 1: be harder on both fronts than you think. Yeah, but

754
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta believe.

755
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 3: They're probably making two fifty a piece a night, probably

756
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 3: make a half a million bucks for the weekend, for

757
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 3: two nights worth of work.

758
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:01,720
Speaker 1: It's a good life.

759
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 3: It's an amazing venue. We have talked about this that

760
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:09,240
Speaker 3: I'm down the street. I'm twelve miles from the sphere

761
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 3: and I hadn't been there, and I just went and

762
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 3: saw Zach Brown and I was in awe of that place.

763
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I just from the second I walked in,

764
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 3: it was like it was like nothing I'd ever seen.

765
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 3: You know, when you walk in and you look up

766
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 3: at the what they have going on before, which is

767
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 3: maybe the sky and the sun. It's just you know,

768
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 3: you're looking at what you think could be outside, and

769
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 3: it goes all the way to the very back of

770
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:38,359
Speaker 3: the arena, behind the back seats, and then the show

771
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 3: starts and the music's you don't know where the music's

772
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 3: coming from, it's coming from the screen. And the way

773
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:48,240
Speaker 3: things are animated, it's just oh in the seats vibrate.

774
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 3: It's like a ride at Universal.

775
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, It's unlike anything you'll ever see. Although I do

776
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 2: think the experiences like that, various elements of it are

777
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 2: going to be, if not already integrated into concert experiences.

778
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: You know, maybe not.

779
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:09,839
Speaker 2: It's not the full package of the Sphere, but I

780
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 2: think there's lessons learned for the business of concerts from

781
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,280
Speaker 2: the Sphere, you know, even though I don't know if

782
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 2: it's making money that you know, if it's profitable, there

783
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 2: was a period of time where it was not a

784
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 2: profitable venue.

785
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 1: So I don't know.

786
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 3: I can tell you this that the the Vegas Room

787
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 3: Mill is that there have been several general managers in

788
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 3: and out of the Sphere since it opened. You know,

789
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what the what the story is there,

790
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 3: But at any rate, if you get the chance to

791
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,359
Speaker 3: see something at the Sphere, uh, And I probably am

792
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:45,720
Speaker 3: just going to suck it up in Mighty Eagles tickets

793
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 3: and go see that because I love them, and you know,

794
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 3: it's just such an une was such an UNBELI and

795
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:53,720
Speaker 3: I don't even I'm not a fan of Zach Brown

796
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 3: and I and I just loved every.

797
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 1: Second of it.

798
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's cool, you know, one of those experiences. This

799
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 3: is an interesting date in nineteen seventy nine. I don't

800
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 3: think I followed this or was aware of it. There's

801
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 3: a guy named George Nicopolis who was the doctor of

802
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 3: Elvis Presley, who stood trial in nineteen seventy nine. He

803
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 3: was charged with indiscriminately providing Elvis something in the neighborhood

804
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 3: of twelve thousand pills uppers, downers and painkillers in I

805
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,240
Speaker 3: want to say, the twenty months leading up to his death.

806
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 2: It's a little eerily like Michael Jackson, Well, the Michael Jackson,

807
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 2: But who's the other one, Matthew Perry, right.

808
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, with the ketamine.

809
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's a little little eerily like that too.

810
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 3: You know. Elvis was a guy whould get whatever he wanted.

811
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 3: It was a matter if it wasn't going to be

812
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,439
Speaker 3: this doctor, it was going to be someone else. Someone

813
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 3: else who's going to say no to Elvis? That's right, right,

814
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,360
Speaker 3: And no one counts on anyone dying. I mean, that

815
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 3: was an excessive amount of pills. You know, I'm not

816
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 3: great with I was told to be no math today.

817
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 3: But I don't know what twelve thousand divided by twenty is.

818
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:12,240
Speaker 3: But Elvis ate a lot of pills, right, not good anyway,

819
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 3: he was, So he was acquitted, and then they charged

820
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 3: him again in nineteen eighty, and then in nineteen ninety

821
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 3: two he finally lost his license. It was think about it.

822
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 3: Elvis died in seventy seven. It took the doctor until

823
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety five to lose his license, eighteen years the

824
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 3: guy killed him. Nineteen seventy Your song entered the Billboard

825
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 3: Hot one hundred. The Hollies did a version of it.

826
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 3: I didn't know about this. Three Dog Night actually recorded

827
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 3: a version of it. They had Elton as an opening

828
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 3: act on their tour Wow. Elton was the opener, and

829
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 3: they asked for the song after they heard him play it,

830
00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 3: and he said, of course, and they recorded it, and

831
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:03,720
Speaker 3: then after the Trooper Door, and after that all happened,

832
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 3: Three Dog Knight said we're not going to release it

833
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 3: as a single, and they waited for Elton to release it.

834
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 3: I don't even know that Three Dog Knight ever released it.

835
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 3: I just think it's a really cool story that he

836
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 3: gave them the song and then he ended up taking

837
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 3: it back. They said, you know what you do it.

838
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 3: That's a pretty nice little gesture on their behalf. But

839
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 3: nineteen seventy your song was on the Billboard top one

840
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 3: hundred last story of the day. Another Elvis won real quick.

841
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,760
Speaker 3: This was the day that Elvis's draft notice was officially

842
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 3: served on him. He ended up going on to serve

843
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 3: in Germany for the thirty second Tank Battalion. There and

844
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,880
Speaker 3: the rest, as they say, buzz is history, and that

845
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:48,840
Speaker 3: is this week for music history ending January fourth.

846
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 2: Oh man, you should have brought your white suits or

847
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 2: an Elvis impersonator with you for this episode, because there

848
00:48:58,400 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 2: was a lot of Elvis there.

849
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 1: I could have done it, and I wasn't.

850
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 3: You know. I was an Elvis kid, like you know,

851
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 3: my parents both liked them, so my first records in

852
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 3: the house. You know, this is where we would get

853
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:12,919
Speaker 3: our education, right, think about it, No YouTube, no internet.

854
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,320
Speaker 3: Where did you figure out where your music was? You

855
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 3: saw what your parents were listening to. You watched bandstand,

856
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:22,840
Speaker 3: the delivery system to the radio. Right, there were just

857
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 3: a handful of places at that time where we got

858
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 3: our music. And I my parents were always fans, and

859
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:32,399
Speaker 3: I had five or six Elvis albums when I was eight, nine,

860
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 3: ten years old.

861
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 2: Well, you were lucky because my parents were fans of

862
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:39,240
Speaker 2: Lawrence Welk.

863
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 1: So let me just leave it at that.

864
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 3: I spent plenty of nights working and watching Lawrence Welk.

865
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 3: So my maternal grandfather had a relative, a cousin that

866
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 3: played in the Lawrence Welk band.

867
