1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: And Amanda gam Nation, it's interesting that rock is the

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: second biggest genre in the US. This is an article

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: in Billboard magazine and they're saying, why was it missing

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: from the Grammys, And there's a couple of reasons that

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: the top forty stuff is going to be the stuff

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: you're going to see played the people, I mean the

7
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: people who are going to perform live. It's going to

8
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: be your top forty stuff, a younger audience. Even But

9
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 1: what was interesting, even though it was the second biggest

10
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: genre in the US, and they had awards for Best

11
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: Rock Album won by Rolling Stones and the Beatles won too,

12
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: but those awards were relegated to the non televised part

13
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: of the Grammy Awards.

14
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: So then you're a salesperson at the logo.

15
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: But when you look here at the at the stats

16
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: by current releases, rock slips all the way to fourth.

17
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: All the acts that we go and see are old

18
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: and we don't want you. We're not getting new music

19
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: from them. We don't want it. So we've got R

20
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: and B and hip hop, we've got pop country and

21
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: it was barely ahead of Latin. And this is where

22
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: I think all the new Well, when new music is going.

23
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: The people who are filling the stadiums now are the

24
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: country artists. For example, I'm desperate to see this guy,

25
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 1: Chris Stapleton. I just love him, just coming here next month,

26
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: sold out.

27
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 2: He's good. I love him. And on the back of

28
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: Luke Cohens.

29
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: Has been here recently sold out all around this.

30
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: Country is I deep dived into Luke. I just love

31
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 2: his stuff. It's like you don't hear it. You hear

32
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: it for the first time and it sounds like an

33
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: old song. It's like an old you know. I've been

34
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: in this business for a while and I'm always been

35
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 2: a rock dog. I'm not a fan of R and B.

36
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: I'm not a fan of rap or hip hop. You know.

37
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: I appreciate it, but it's not it's not in my wheelhouse.

38
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: But Australian country music. You know, we grew up we'd

39
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: slim slim dust.

40
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: I love to have it done.

41
00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: John Williamson. Nothing wrong with those guys. But country rock

42
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: has evolved and it's taken the niche of where rock music.

43
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: You remember when top Cochran years ago did life as

44
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: a highway banging song. Then for the movie Cars, Rascal

45
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 2: Platts could have been a Twain. It sounds a bit

46
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: like Keith Urban. But I remember years ago when I

47
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 2: worked at two and M and Muscle Roof talking to

48
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: Keith Urban about how rock country will be a thing.

49
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 2: And I brought that up with Keith and he forgot

50
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 2: about it. He said, obviously it was time for me

51
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: to go to rehab.

52
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: Were you pushing him to a rock polker? Wasn't quite

53
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: as a rock polker.

54
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 2: That's a genre.

55
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: The Grammy's next year.

56
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 2: They're not going to do drive by past each other's

57
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: house writing disc tracks.

58
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: They'll attack you with a piano. According
