1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

2
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: He's a working man.

3
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 1: I glad that sounds That was Jimmy Barnes working Classman

4
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: from Saturday Night's Extraordinary Night of Too Many Legends almost

5
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: of Australian music, music from the home front, respecting frontline

6
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: workers past and present. That was a beautiful performance. I

7
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: thought he's saying it his voice is actually getting better

8
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: as he gets older.

9
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 3: It doesn't it? Yeah, it's aging well like why.

10
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like Springsteen, you know, it has a more

11
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: of a lived in quality to it. I think it

12
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: sounds it's so nice because you know the power and

13
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: the fury in his voice, and then suddenly when you

14
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: were here, when he slows it down, he realized. I

15
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: think he sometimes you just know this has been more

16
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: of a screamer and a belter, you know, and all

17
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: that power he's gone it. But actually there's a real

18
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: there's a softness to it, a rawness to it all.

19
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: And I thought that was brilliant, very different kind of

20
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: version of a working class man. So many of the

21
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 1: songs on Saturday Night you would have you guys would

22
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: have grown up with it, must have got a lot

23
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: of your nostalgic about because that's a great thing about music.

24
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: It's like a little time portal. It's a time capsule

25
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 1: that takes you right back to her a different time

26
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: when you were growing up. Did it remind you of

27
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: some of those we've saw people like Mark Seymour and

28
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: James Rain, who I thought were great together in the

29
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: Mark Seymore's garage, which is the cleanest garage I've ever seen,

30
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: like a garage. I see no car tires. I was like,

31
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: where's the cartuer, where's the paintings of setup? Have you

32
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: got there? This's like an Italian coffee shop.

33
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, the flour looks spotless as well. Which garage floor

34
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 3: should Seeing James Rain and Marks Aymore playing together in

35
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 3: the garage, Bianchor asked me, I guess assuming that they

36
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 3: they shouldn't be together because of social distancing. So she

37
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 3: asked me do they live together? Which I got a

38
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 3: real laugh out of. Imagine some kind of sitcom.

39
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: But monkey. I love the idea of them being flatmates

40
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: and getting up in the morning and strumming to each

41
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: other and then going into that beautiful garage, probably eating

42
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: off the floor. It was so clean. There were a

43
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: lot of things I noticed watching all the different us because,

44
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: well the keyboards that the guy the keyboard playing from

45
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: Crowded House seemed to be in a whare. Does he

46
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: work in a shop selling them or mending them?

47
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 3: Why would you need so many keyboards? I actually had

48
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 3: the same thought, like.

49
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 4: They all obviously do a different function.

50
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 3: No, come on, he had he had fifteen keyboards at least, going.

51
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: John can troll the world with just that one piano?

52
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: What the crowded House keyboard playing? When John doesn't know?

53
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 3: And the idea of a keyboard is that it's an

54
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 3: electric piano, so it already makes a hundred different sounds

55
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 3: like that, That's why it's electric. I don't know what

56
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 3: he needs all those keyboards for.

57
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: I seriously think he's got a workshop. He's mending them,

58
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: and these have all got be mended by Monday, So

59
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: I think that's what he was. I think that's what

60
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: it was doing. What would be the songs that sort

61
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: of were the soundtrack of your teenage years? That sort

62
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: of Saturday Night reminded you of because I saw a

63
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: lot of comments from our listeners saying that a lot

64
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: of these songs, you know, throw your arms around me.

65
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: I remember you know, he's going to see Aussie Crawl

66
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: and Hunters and Collectors. What are the ones for you guys,

67
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: perhaps what's the same that sort of sums up your

68
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: teenage years from Oh?

69
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 4: Definitely it was definitely Mark Seymour and James Rain For me.

70
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 4: We've gone to see James Rain a couple of times

71
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 4: over the years. I just love him. He's got an album,

72
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 4: Oh he honestly, and he's such an attractive looking man,

73
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 4: I have to say, but he's it's beautiful and he's

74
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 4: done like an unplugged album quite a while ago, which

75
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 4: of acoustic. It takes back to its raw sort of

76
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 4: form and it's a really beautiful album. But definitely those

77
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 4: two and Jimmy Barns of course, is just like the

78
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 4: godfather of Ossie music.

79
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: I reckon, who's it for you, Jackie boy?

80
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 3: I think for as far as Australian bands go, Silverchair

81
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 3: and powder Finger right in my teenage years when they

82
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 3: were really big. The Living End is another one that

83
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,839
Speaker 3: I saw a bunch of times that I really loves.

84
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: You know Connell Show podcast, Well, the artists saw the

85
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: album or the song that really reminds her of your

86
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: teenage years. I always think that's when you first sort of

87
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: discover music and get into your bands as well. All right,

88
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: let's go to Erin, Good morning Erin Hi.

89
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 5: Christian, Hi guys, you just played it recently Christian as

90
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 5: Working class Man, particularly the Barnstorming album.

91
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: Yep.

92
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 5: My mum used to sunbake topless to the to the cassette,

93
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 5: so he would she would do one side to one

94
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 5: side of cakes and then tape and flip over herself.

95
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: That's amazing.

96
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 5: If we came walking down the driveway and heard that

97
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 5: with mate, we would quickly turn around. Let's go back

98
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:44,559
Speaker 5: to your plate.

99
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: This is a warning.

100
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 5: You now know that if that's playing, let's not stop

101
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,239
Speaker 5: for cakes. With their mates, they just keep.

102
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: Going on, walk on.

103
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: Also, I guess you'd know from the track listing if

104
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: you heard the song actually actually flipped over as well.

105
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: She's face down the moment to move through the back exactly.

106
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: I know she's on the side, she's up front of

107
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: the moment. All the assets are on up.

108
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 5: Yes, it's not just the check found of my life.

109
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 5: It's also my brother, my sisters, the grand kids, poor
