23
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 3: I can't even understand what it is myself, but we

24
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 3: just kind of took to each other. It was a

25
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 3: bit of magic going on there. I was traveling all

26
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 3: the time, all around the world. I came to you

27
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 3: in nineteen seventy four for the first time, and I

28
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 3: did two tours that year, but my hits started in

29
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 3: seventy three, so finally I got down there and I've

30
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 3: been coming back ever since.

00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: You were doing Pink before Pink, because that's what happened.

32
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: Pink just we just love Pink and we love you.

33
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 2: That's what happens.

34
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 3: Pinky was my older sister. You're talking about happy days.

35
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: Pink, Pink as Pink swinging around in skypeek, Pink, Pink, Oh.

36
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,200

37
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 3: because Ronnie and Henry are there, so everybody keeps mentioning her. Yeah, Pink, Yeah,

38
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 3: she's really good. I haven't seen her, lie, but i'd

39
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 3: like to.

40
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: Well, she's amazing. But what I'm saying is you were

41
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: the trial blizer for Australia, that love affair that we

42
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: had and still do.

43
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 3: Well. I didn't have a role model, so but I

44
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 3: didn't I didn't know it that I was doing what

45
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 3: I did. I didn't realize that what I was doing

46
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 3: was so different because I was just being who I was.

47
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 3: And it wasn't until I watched the documentary sus A

48
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 3: Cue twenty nineteen, This is True twenty nineteen. I was

49
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 3: booked in at the Regent Theater Question and Answer to

50
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 3: for the premiere of Susie Q in London. So I

51
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 3: went there. I wanted to see it. I wanted to

52
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 3: sneak in and watch. I didn't want to just come

53
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 3: on at the end. So I stood in the corner

54
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 3: and on came the film and I watched it with

55
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 3: the audience, heard the reaction, and girl after girl after

56
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 3: girl after gard w Harry John Jacuesy Hind, Lena Ford,

57
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 3: Serie Curry, Tina Weymouth, Katie Tunstall. All the way through

58
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 3: the film, these people appeared and I'm watching and they

59
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 3: kept saying kind of the same thing, that they wouldn't

60
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 3: have done what they do if Susie Quatro hadn't have

61
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 3: done it first. And then I started to cry standing

62
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 3: in the theater. I was crying because it finally dawned

63
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 3: on me what I'd done. And that's the truth. I

64
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 3: did not know what I was doing. I was just

65
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 3: being me. I didn't know I was changing the world.

66
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 3: But now that I get it, I humbly accept and

67
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 3: I'll take that to my grave, think so lightly.

68
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: That's right, legacy.

69
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: How hard was it for you in those early days?

70
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: As you said, you didn't know otherwise, You're just doing

71
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: what you love to do. But did you come up

72
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: against a lot of obstycles?

73
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 3: No? I you know, I come from a musical family,

74
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 3: so my dad instilled in all of us this professionalism

75
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 3: and also the fact that there was no with no boarders.

76
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 3: You know, you can do what you want. I never

77
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 3: even thought of myself to be honest as a girl musician.

78
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 3: I just thought of myself as a musician. I didn't

79
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 3: know it was strange to play the bass. I didn't

80
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 3: it was strange to scream. I didn't know it was

81
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 3: strange to do any of that. It was actually just

82
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 3: being who I was.

83
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: Well, this year marks the fiftieth anniversary of Can the

84
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: Can being number one. Would you imagine then, what would

85
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: your young self have thought, knowing fifty years later it's

86
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: still happening.

87
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 3: It's exactly the way I wanted my life to go.

88
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 3: I didn't get in it for a day, I get

89
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 3: in it for a lifetime. I'm now in my sixtieth

90
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 3: year of my profession, which is just amazing. I'm doing

91
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 3: the best shows of my life. I'm getting in the

92
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 3: best critics I've ever had. I'm making album after album,

00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 3: They're being successful. My voice is the best it's ever been.

94
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 3: It's like everything I always wanted when I was young

00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 3: and learning my trade come to fruition. So I'm very happy,

96
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 3: and I'm very happy and comfortable in my skin.

00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 2: And when you play the bass, what's your go to

98
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,719

100
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: when you're tooling around on your bas.

101
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 3: Just well, you know, it's one I wrote. I have

102
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 3: to say. It's in my documentary called Walking Through the Changes.

103
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 3: It's called Walking Through the Changes, and it's it's a

104
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 3: really difficult bass rift to play. But I often do

105
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 3: dim Down Down. That's a good one, ye, or do

108
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 3: I'm a bass player. I hear when I hear bass

109
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 3: players who started on guitar, they played different.

110
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, look at Paul McCartney. Paul McCartney, he wanted

111
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 2: to play the guitar. He wanted to play the guitar,

112
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 2: and then boom, he got onto the bass and his

113
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 2: life began from there. So yeah, he knows, Yeah, he knows.

114
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,120
