36
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 5: and my buddy and I, Kenny and I walked down

37
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,960

40
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 6: Speaking of Kenny dal Johnson, the legend himself. I remember

41
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 6: having a morning with you guys down the Scarborough Beach

42
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 6: here in Perth many years ago, and it would have

43
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 6: been as much fun without you. You might one of

44
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 6: the great drummers of all time. But he's the big man.

45
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 6: How's he going doing great?

46
00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:58,480

00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 3: He's one of those guys that he scares.

49
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 5: People and he's the nicest guy in the world because

50
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 5: he's a big barrel chested guy and he's got dark

51
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 5: eyes and people look at him and they go, oh,

52
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 5: I don't want to fight him, and I go, he's

53
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 5: the nicest guy in the world.

54
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 3: It's the bass player. You got to watch out.

55
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,440

00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 7: and my bass player are both married to Australian women.

64
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,120

00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: get married.

66
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,960

67
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 5: come there. I'm hoping somebody will show up to the

68
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,760

00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 6: band I should say that thing you do was the

74
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 6: name of the film, but the band The Wonders got

75
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 6: played on the radio and they was so excited hearing themselves.

76
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 6: Do you remember the first time you heard a song,

77
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 6: a Chris iesc song on the radio and what you

78
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:25,440

Speaker 5: I had a sixty four Chevy and I still have it,

80
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 5: and I was driving back from San Francisco to my hometown,

81
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 5: which is like one hundred miles away, a farm town, Stockton,

82
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 5: and I was going in the car and all of

83
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 5: a sudden, I turned the radio and it was me playing,

84
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 5: and I was confused, like no, I just thought, like

85
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 5: my first reaction was, how did that happen? Because like,

86
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 5: how did I get my own voice on the radio?

87
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 5: And then I went, They're playing my song on the radio. Yeah,

110
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 5: he's just I just like him. He's the funniest guy

111
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 5: because he's so straightforward. Like somebody was talking to him.

112
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 5: We're sitting out at dinner and somebody just mentioned they said,

113
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 5: you know, Coca Cola no longer makes the little tiny bottles.

114
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 5: They weren't They stopped making the little tiny coke bottles

115
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 5: for a while. And David his face just dropped and

116
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 5: he goes, no, that's no good. That's no good. And

117
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 5: I said, I said, well, why are you excited, he goes,

118
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 5: because I like those little coke like a ten year old.

119
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,679
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, but from that comes absolute greats.

120
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,320

00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 3: I do?

122
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 5: That show was a lot of fun. I remember being

123
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 5: terrified because when Australians talked fast, yeah, it was like

124
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 5: I went, it was okay, I'll make a joke out

125
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 5: of myself that It was like, and we have Chris, Chris,

126
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 5: I can be a U Yeah, no, no, what sorry?

127
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 5: It just sounded like, you know, because there'd be one

128
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 5: or two, you know, Budgy and fit, Fiddy and Fizzy

129
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 5: they you shortened words that we don't shorten, yes, and

130
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 5: then talk to and I was going, I can't and

131
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 5: I had to go excuse me, what did you say?

132
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 5: And you can't do that on TV. I can't stop

133
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 5: the show and go excuse me. And finally I realized, oh,

134
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 5: they have it scripted and they're reading off a teleprompter.

135
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 5: So while they talked, I kept the glance of the

136
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 5: teleprompter and then I would be able.

137
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 6: To Yeah, what about Perth and Australia do not have

138
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 6: for you that love from Australian fans. You must absolutely

139
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 6: thrive on that. We need to come down Under.

140
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 5: I just Australia is my favorite place to play. It's

141
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 5: the only place in the world that I could imagine

142
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 5: me moving too. In fact, my guitar players moving to Australia.

143
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 5: He asked my permission, and I said, yeah you can.

144
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 5: He can still still, you can still be in my band.

145
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 5: We're just gonna have to play Australia more often.

146
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're on the base here him in his place.

147
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,160
