1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:01,840
Speaker 1: Now when you open this one up, Maw did you

2
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: feel because you didn't look panicked?

3
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 2: I felt okay, I feel comfortable with that.

4
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: Someone fairly close to home, even though he doesn't live here,

5
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 1: for he's been here a few times. Listen to this.

6
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: An envelope contains the music topic to discuss this five

7
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: minutes on the clock to field and there's no times

8
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: of prayer.

9
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 3: This is banter with Clezy and Lisa.

10
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: What have you got, Lisa. I'm opening the envelope, but

11
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: open come on, man, Brady, Warren, Brady, Harry.

12
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 4: Up, gladiated wonder we have Oh, we have Billy Idol

13
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:38,959
Speaker 4: on his birthday yesterday.

14
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 2: Also well you know at.

15
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 3: The time when took place.

16
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 2: It was his birthday yesterday.

17
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: Billy Idol, William Broad the Pommy.

18
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 4: Whenever I think of Billy Idol, I always think of

19
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 4: the fun fact that he has a perfectly asymmetrical face,

20
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 4: and very very very few people.

21
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 2: In the world do.

22
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: It's pretty much exactly the same either side.

23
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 4: Very mirror image of each side, apparently bizarre.

24
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: But the funny thing is, of course you always had

25
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: that sneer.

26
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I don't know if the sneer came about

27
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 4: because he thought, I don't want to be perfectly asymmetrical,

28
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 4: I want to be rock and roll, or if it

29
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 4: was just a coincidence.

30
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: Or he was trying to be Johnny Rotten at the time,

31
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: but perhaps because he was a.

32
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 4: Little bit of the Rotten, it was a bit of

33
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 4: the lighten, I should say, a little bit.

34
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 1: Of that going on. Yeah, yeah, not so much, said Vicious.

35
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 4: But well he was like he was punk, but he

36
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 4: was mainstream. Yeah, he wasn't like sex pistols, spit on

37
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 4: the audience.

38
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: The band was Generation X. He was just started.

39
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 4: Out, you know, groupies and champagne and yeah, yeah, other things.

40
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: But even the rock and roll, even the skip from

41
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: Generation X to the Billy Idle band and then the

42
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: whole thing that happened sort of eighty two eighty three

43
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: was a bit of a jump from more of a

44
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: more of a full on punk band to the commercial side.

45
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: And he's had a lot of hits. Let's be honest,

46
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: Billy had a lot of hits.

47
00:01:58,760 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: But one guitarist, did you.

48
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: Yes, Steve Stephens, Steve Steve, his name is perfectly asymmetrical,

49
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: Steve Steve. The parents had a bit of a chuckle.

50
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: Stephen I know what they did, but.

51
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: Jesus can play guitar. They played, He can.

52
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 4: Certainly play guitar, and he has been very much because

53
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 4: I never think of I mean, we'll Billy out or

54
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 4: had a bad to begin with, but then he was

55
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 4: more solo and I always thought of him as, you know,

56
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 4: almost a bit of a duo.

57
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, with Steve. I mean, he certainly had his own

58
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 3: They come together.

59
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: Like Spider geraldo the husband. I don't know the duo package,

60
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: but Billy's had a lot of hits and a lot

61
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: of hits in Australia and Countdown really got all over Billy.

62
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 4: And because I think we all remember those of a

63
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 4: certain age, we all remember when Billy came to town, the

64
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 4: Countdown and Ward.

65
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: Rock Awards, the Rock Award that was so funny.

66
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 2: He rock and roll.

67
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 4: It was the eighties and he was well for start

68
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 4: as he was drunk as a skunk. From the moment

69
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 4: he arrived until the moment he left. He was an unknown.

70
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 4: You didn't know what he was going to do or

71
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 4: say quantity he was. He was exciting, wasn't But he

72
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 4: was also a little bit of a dag, a little

73
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 4: bit dorky.

74
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: Think that because he kept going rocket roll, trying to.

75
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 4: Build the with the with the you know.

76
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 3: The fists, Yeah, with the glove, fist, the fist and.

77
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 4: The glove, and giving Molly the impression that you just

78
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 4: were living on the edge.

79
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 2: You didn't know what was going to happen.

80
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well it was the only time that Molly was

81
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: that nervous. Then. The other time was when Cold Chisel

82
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: destroyed the stage the Rock Awards.

83
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 4: Yes, Gold Chisel probably was a bit more rock really

84
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 4: than Billy. Billy tried to tell you if you're always

85
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 4: happy to tell someone maybe not as rock and roll

86
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 4: as you are.

87
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Billy over the years has had a lot of hits.

88
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: You know, a few of those that are like the

89
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,119
Speaker 1: Rebel Yell have really stuck in his place.

90
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: It was first Rebel Yell in the City.

91
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: Well, I think there was Moany Money. He did a

92
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: cover of Moaning Money once. It was just Tommy.

93
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 4: The really first big one was it Rebel Yell, Yell

94
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 4: or Hot in the City.

95
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: I think no. Hot in the City was nineteen eighty two,

96
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: eighty two, and then twenty three, and then the others followed.

97
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, Hot in the City.

98
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, A lot of those songs that still are on

99
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: his playlist now because he's still tours. He plays a

100
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: lot of gigs. Billy, as I said, I follow him

101
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: on Instagram, and it is funny because he's the rock

102
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: and roll granddad. Because one minute he's signing merchandise and

103
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: he's a big merchandise guy, and then next minute he's

104
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: playing with the grandkids. It's pretty cute.

105
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 4: Remember what the name of the album was. But there's

106
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 4: a song that he had called Blue Highway.

107
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 3: You know the song?

108
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: No, I don't know.

109
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 3: The song Blue.

110
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 4: Highway, and it tells the story of a guy riding

111
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 4: his motor cycle down the Blue Highway and it's a

112
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 4: highway and fake Los Angeles or something. I don't know

113
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 4: if it's it could be fictional. But the guy has

114
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 4: an accident on this bike, okay, And then a couple

115
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 4: of years later, Billy had a terrible accident on his

116
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 4: motorbike riding down a highway.

117
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: You have a bad prank.

118
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: Whether it was the Blue Highway.

119
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 4: Or not, I don't know, but it was, like he

120
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 4: foretold in that song, the Blue Highway, what was going

121
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 4: to happen to him? He really that was a really,

122
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 4: really bad accident. I don't think he's ever walked quite

123
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 4: the same since it, and he did almost.

124
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: The affected his role because I think he was going

125
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: to get a major role in the Doors movie as well.

126
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 3: I believe he was in it. He popped up, popped out, but.

127
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: Not as big a role as he was going to have.

128
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 2: Didn't he relieve himself at the bar?

129
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: I think he did.

130
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 4: I think he was too he was too rock and

131
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 4: roll to get up and go to the bathroom and

132
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 4: he was talking to Jim Morrison at the bar.

133
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: Yes, he had a very small role.

134
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: Had a bigger role, which was always funny for those

135
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: who love the Wedding Singer because he was he was

136
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: in the movie Wedding Singer.

137
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 4: Julia Gulia what I've never seen. I've never seen the Wedding.

138
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: Just to see Billy Idol in the airplane Adam Sandler, Yeah,
