You know, 20 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 3: as the music is people of the year you had 21 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 3: a big play in that week. 22 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 2: It was. 23 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 3: It was wonderful to see the tributes, wasn't it. 24 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 2: It was a lot of fun, you know, and I 25 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 2: was so so honored to be asked to do that. 26 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 2: Those guys are just such giants in my mind as 27 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 2: far as music of the sixties, and you know what 28 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 2: part they played in all that is. They're probably the 29 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 2: reason I even do this today, you know. So it 30 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 2: was it was really a privilege. 31 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: Now but freshly back with the Dbie brothers. But of 32 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: course you've been you've toured for many, many years. What 33 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: is the biggest thing you would say has changed about 34 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: being on the road. 35 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 2: Well, we probably get a lot more sleep, you know, 36 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 2: our Hleral road we used to but uh yeah, you know, uh, 37 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 2: not much really, you know. It's it's funny. Back in 38 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 2: the in the day in the seventies, we traveled by airplane. 39 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 2: We had an old hot rodded you know. Uh yeah, 40 00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 2: it was probably an old commuter airliner that was probably 41 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 2: taken out of service long before we used it. And 42 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 2: you know, we we flew around the US and that uh, nowadays, 43 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 2: I don't know what, you know, people help people travel, 44 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 2: I know, for US we traveled by bus these days 45 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 2: in the US, and so we spent a lot of 46 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 2: time sleeping in our bunks and stuff like that. 47 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: You know, Michael, is it true that that plane of 48 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: which you speak was called the Doobie Liner and you 49 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: had one for the one for the roadies called the 50 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: Krubie Liner. 51 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 2: That's very true. 52 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 3: Wanted to ask you that, Michael. 53 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you that all my life. 54 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,679 Speaker 2: Oh no, yeah, that's that's true, boy liner. Yeah, and 55 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 2: the Dooby Liner became a became a restaurant. Oh really, yeah, 56 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 2: it actually became the Doobie Diner. 57 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 3: Sounds like something Jimmy Buffett to do, make it into 58 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 3: a business. Last time was last time I saw the Boys? 59 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 3: Was Tom Johnson was and Pat Simmons were sharing the 60 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 3: vocals and Tom mcfae were in town with yourself. Was 61 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 3: there ever a moment with the band where it was 62 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 3: a Don Hanley Eagles moment where it was like we're 63 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,959 Speaker 3: not getting back together until hell phrases eva? Or was 64 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 3: it just you had a solo career to get them 65 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 3: with you know, I. 66 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,119 Speaker 2: Think no, it was never any animosity. I think we've 67 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 2: we've always been friends. I mean, we did our share, 68 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 2: you know, throwing furniture at each other backstage in the 69 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 2: old days, you know, over stupid things, and then we 70 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 2: make up by the next day, you know. But we 71 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 2: were really what I think solidified us as a band 72 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 2: more than anything. It was our friendship and in the 73 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 2: fact that we all loved doing what we did together, 74 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 2: you know, and traveling together. There was a time where 75 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 2: the band you always had to make strategic decisions and 76 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 2: when the band broke up, when Pat you know, decided 77 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 2: to leave the band, he was really kind of the 78 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 2: last original Doobie and we didn't really feel like those 79 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 2: of us that were left really warranted calling ourselves Adobies 80 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 2: are going out, and you know, we know it to 81 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 2: the audiences to either really be the do vision are 82 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 2: having someone in there that that was originally with the band, 83 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 2: and although we were still playing Tom's music, you know, 84 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 2: the audiences are still that was always a big part 85 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 2: of the band. Even when Tom wasn't there, his music 86 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 2: was a huge part of our show, you know. So 87 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 2: there was a time when we kind of woke up 88 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 2: for a while. Then when the band got back together, 89 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 2: they tried to reassemble close to the original band as 90 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 2: they could I think, and I think that was a 91 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 2: smart move really, because they took it from there and 92 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 2: probably got to where they sounded better than the band 93 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 2: as other sounders. 94 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: You know, you've had what you probably considered the distinct 95 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: pleasure of being in a couple of the biggest bands ever, 96 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: I mean the Derby Brothers and then for a couple 97 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: of years in the seventies, Steely Dan and Steely Dan. 98 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: You know, Michael was the bad the very first band 99 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: that we ever played on ninety six FM here when 100 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: the station launched in nineteen eighty. It was it was 101 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: the first FM radio station in town and we played 102 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: FM all go static at all. 103 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, that's great a bit of history. 104 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, and Michael Steely Dan have been my favorite band 105 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 3: for many years. And I love you guys as well, 106 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 3: but I know you as less you said you work 107 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 3: with him, But those two, you know, the light Walter 108 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 3: Baker and Donald Fagen, absolute studio perfectionists, Majie, you know, 109 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 3: nice slash in the studio yourself. What was I l 110 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 3: like working with the boys, You. 111 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 2: Know, I always had good fun with the guys. You know, 112 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 2: they were tough, you know, in their own way, but 113 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 2: I always kind of figured it was because they were 114 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,359 Speaker 2: from New York. Yeah, and I just I figured I 115 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 2: was just getting a good New York hazing. You know. 116 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 2: Some of the LA musicians kind of kind of bristled 117 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 2: at their approach, but I I kind of took it, 118 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 2: you know, as as they were just being having a 119 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 2: sense of humor with me. You know. Yeah, but you 120 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 2: know they did, you know, they were exacting, you know, 121 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 2: in their approach, and and and no less on themselves, 122 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 2: you know. I mean, so they were really uh, you know, 123 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 2: I don't like to say they were perfectionists, but they were. 124 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 2: They always still to make the next project bring something 125 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 2: better to the endeavor, you know than they had maybe 126 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 2: thought of before, And I always admired that. 127 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: A little bit of businessman about them. I guess that 128 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: you have collaborated with some amazing artists, the likes of 129 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: Aretha Franklin and Joni Mitchell and Van Halen. Is there 130 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 1: anyone you can think of that you would love to 131 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: collaborate with one day that you haven't had the opportunity, 132 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: you know. 133 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 2: There's probably so many artists, you know, and I've been 134 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 2: so very fortunate that the realm just by you know, 135 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 2: random providence. Really, you know, I think of artists that 136 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 2: they are out there today. I would still love to 137 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 2: make a record with Stevie Wonder, and we've worked together 138 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 2: over the years, and we talked about doing that, and 139 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 2: it's just, you know, sometimes those things come to fruition, 140 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 2: sometimes they don't. But I still have high hopes that 141 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 2: we'll be able to do that someday. He actually played 142 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,679 Speaker 2: on my motown records. But I would love to sing 143 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 2: something together, or sing one of his songs and have 144 00:06:59,400 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 2: him produced. 145 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 3: Absolutely, we want to sing back in Astralia if we can. Hey, 146 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 3: last night, when I was cooking dinner, Michael, I was 147 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 3: listening to a song, a live version of one of 148 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 3: your songs called I Keep Forgetting We're not in love anymore? 149 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 3: Do you have to have lived it to write and 150 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 3: sing with such passion about a subject, mate? Or can 151 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 3: you manufacture it in your head? 152 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 2: It's funny that you asked that, because you know songs 153 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 2: kind of you know, like a lot of things, over 154 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 2: the years, even your own songs change in their meaning. 155 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 2: You know, what do you think the words meant when 156 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 2: you were in your therapies and forties and what they 157 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 2: come to mean after a few years is could sometimes 158 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 2: change and more into something different. Like, for instance, at 159 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 2: seventy one, the words I keep forgetting come to mean 160 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 2: something totally different to me now, you know, because yeah, 161 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 2: I do actually forget a lot of it. But yeah, 162 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 2: you know, I mean songs like What's going On? You know, 163 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 2: some of those songs that we grew up with. They 164 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 2: were relevant in the days when they were written, but 165 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 2: they've only seemed to become more relevant, sadly in some 166 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 2: cases with time. You know, all these years later, a 167 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 2: song like What's going On still resonates, you know, for 168 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 2: all the same reasons, and eating in a more broader sense. 169 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 2: You know. 170 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: The Deobu Brothers are recent inductees into the Rock and 171 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: Roll Hall of Fame.

It was a real thrill for us. 176 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, we're we sad that it wasn't televised. Yes, 177 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 2: and no, you know, I mean sometimes those events can 178 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 2: be it's really the honor of being nominated that that 179 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 2: matters the most. You know, Yeah, sometimes the event is 180 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 2: something you have to endure, you know. But really, honestly, 181 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 2: I was really, you know, a flattered to be asked 182 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 2: first of all by the band to join them in that, 183 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 2: you know, and all the guys that were due these 184 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 2: were included in that honor. So yeah, it was it 185 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 2: was a wonderful thing to think that we would actually 186 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 2: be considered a part of rock history. You know. 187 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: I think it was important that you all be there. 188 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: Of course, it was everyone's moment, yeah, part of it. 189 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 3: Michael, I want to talk about your voice. I think 190 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 3: you've got one of the great soul voices of all time. 191 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 3: What's the key in out seventy one recent birthday? That's 192 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 3: the key to looking after that instrument, that beautiful thing. 193 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 2: It's one of those things that I've come late to 194 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 2: in my life. You know, there was a time when 195 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 2: I really didn't do much of anything to really that 196 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 2: I should. And I've heard of singers, you know, I 197 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 2: know singers that they have rituals and they really go 198 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 2: out of their way to take care of their voice, 199 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 2: and I think in some cases it's really to the better. 200 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 2: You know. There's a great singers who read a lot 201 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 2: of capacity and very capable singers. You know, I never 202 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 2: considered myself one of those. I was just you know, 203 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 2: a bar singer, a blue singer, and I you know, 204 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 2: I smoked too much and I drank too much over 205 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 2: the years. Now I don't do any of those things. 206 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 2: I find it. I wish I had quit because my 207 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 2: voice benefited from you know, it's taking a little bit 208 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 2: of care of it.
