00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: And did you the full knee reconstruction, because that's a

23
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: that's a brutal operation.

24
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 3: It was really I don't know what I was thinking.

25
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 3: I was making plans for the next week to go out.

26
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 3: It's nothing, and then and then I got a rude

27
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 3: awaken and it was hardcore hardcore.

28
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: They pretty much chop They pretty much chop your leg off.

29
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: It's no, they do, and they reattach it the.

30
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 3: Do it's extreme. Do they do?

31
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: You would normally have to prepare, I'm sure for a

32
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 2: tour anyway, but with your new new knee, have you

33
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 2: had to sort of rehab your stage moves and things.

34
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 3: Yes. Actually I'm doing karaoke dancing now and with my

35
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 3: with my physiotherapist, and and it's not easy. It's harder

36
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 3: than being on stage. But yes, trying to figure out

37
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 3: what works and what doesn't work. I mean I'm about

38
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 3: ninety five percent so, but there's certain things I can't

39
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 3: do yet I will.

40
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: Are you Are you much of a dancer on staff?

41
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of when I see you on film clips

42
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: and stuff. I've seen you dance, But are you Would

43
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: you say that that you'll you really work on the

44
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: dance when you're on stage? No?

45
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 3: No, no, I mean it's it's never nothing is like

46
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 3: a choreograph. It just move a lot and dance a lot.

47
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 3: But and that's just part of it. But but it's

48
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 3: not like choreograph.

49
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: Not like Janet Jackson.

50
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 3: Yeah no, no, no, not at all. But but I

51
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 3: still have to be in shape for that and and

52
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 3: just you know my limits.

53
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, because it's like when you see Billy Joel.

54
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: You know, when Billy Joel gets up there and he's performing,

55
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: and then that film clip for Uptown Girl, you're Christie Brinkley.

56
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: Billy's dancing better than Christie in the in the film

57
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: for Uptown Girl.

58
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not every it's not everyone's special. That's what

59
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: I mean.

60
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: You could be a really great singer. And that's why

61
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: sometimes I think that's why singers bring stools out on

62
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: the stage. They're not going to do any stools.

63
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, exactly.

64
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: So this is your Decades tour. What an incredible career

65
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: you've had. Are the sliding doors from the go gos?

66
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 2: What helped you pivot from that to this long career?

67
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 3: I didn't really, to be honest, I was not planned

68
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 3: at all. I just kind of winged it and I thought, well,

69
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 3: the only thing I know how to do is sing,

70
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 3: So I had the opportunity to make a solo album,

71
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 3: and I knew it was like fifty to fifty maybe

72
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 3: you know that, and so I just nothing was ever

73
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 3: contrived and nothing ever has been contrived actually through the years.

74
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 3: So yeah, I just kind of winged it and it happened. Well, yeah, it.

75
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: Worked out because the guy guys, you would have thought, well,

76
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: you know, that was a that was a huge super

77
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: group and a pioneering group of the time. It would

78
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: have been scary to break out there and just do

79
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: your own soulized stuff.

80
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean I wasn't really scared until I got

81
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 3: in stage for the first time. I thought it would

82
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 3: have I done, but it was too late.

83
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,560
