Lou:I'm actually not a sick man.
Scott:I'm actually going to give you that I was actually a pretty good one. I'm going to give you that. I'm going to give you that If Mark said it, he'd be in the penalty box.
Mark:Everything I say in a penalty box it's real now, damn, I'm feeling pressure. I had my fireball.
Lou:I had my fireplace going on Monday when we did the music relish. Oh, did you? Yeah, that was the worst day I was. That's why I thought that just had a bad call, so like, yeah it's going to be 85 degrees in here.
Scott:But that says a lot about you, lou. The dedication is real. Yeah, trooper, you know if you're feeling she. When I get sick I am like a little girl. Yeah, I said I'm like why it's got to be a little girl. I can be a little bit, because little girls wine.

Scott:Well, all right, let's get into this gentleman. Yeah, I think that people have had enough of us talking about us. Let's jump into the year that was 1975. I wish. I had an echo thing that I could do. It was a whole new audio thing, and now that is going to happen again.
Lou:Again like a mini effects unit and just plug your mic into that.
Scott:Yeah, no, I has to go into my roadcast of pro.
Mark:This is where everything was that show where they go, 1975, conan O'Brien, I think, or something.
Scott:I don't know. Yeah, so let's start right off January 2nd 1975. Congress District Court Judge Richard Owen rules that former Beatle John Lennon and his lawyers can have access to Department of Immigration files pertaining to his deportation case. Yeah, January 5th 1975. The Wiz remember that Remember it.
Lou:It was like a big fucking deal. Sure was yeah. Tv commercials.
Scott:Yeah, the musical version of the classic Wizard of Oz story opens on Broadway's Majestic Theater in New York City. And you know what? I don't remember anybody like complaining about it. I don't remember anybody, you know why? Because they just did it. They didn't make this big. You know, it's like it's the Wiz and Diana Ross was in it. Right, yeah, that's right, right. And Michael Jackson played the scarecrow. Was that the movie? Was that the movie version? Probably.
Lou:Because they did do a movie version. There was a movie version, yeah.
Scott:And that's how Diana Ross and Michael Jackson and like, well, you can't fucking argue with that. Yeah.
Lou:Even if someone didn't like it. Evidently both were great. I've seen either.
Scott:I saw it, I mean it was good, it was done really well, we got a lot of talent in there too.
Mark:You know, I heard. I heard complaining about it from some upstanding citizens of my church. I was forced to go to Really, oh really.
Lou:Church people are such nice people, I gotta tell you.
Mark:Oh yeah, yeah, I remember I was like, oh, they're talking about like it's evil you know, then again, I was a liberal back then, so maybe I wasn't paying attention.
Speaker 4:I was only.
Scott:I was only. I was gonna be just about to turn 12.
Lou:I was four. I turned 14.
Scott:But in that you were, you were 19.
Lou:I want 61.
Mark:Don't get a mad, he's gonna get weak. Don't get mad.
Lou:But now's the time to take advantage of them. There were some great movies in 75. Actually they had black cast. That were these coming of age stories. There's two in particular Are you, are you jumping?
Scott:ahead on no, I just think we're.
Lou:we're talking about movies, we're talking about how that's right, mark's aspects. When, when you were a young liberal, I'm 12 year old liberal Like hey, you're like a reverse of Michael J Fox back then, me and Lou talked about the show.
Mark:Just see an hour.
Scott:We have a 12 year old liberal.
Lou:I'm glad for liberal cause.
Scott:Those are not feeling that bad.
Mark:What we say. Mark, I said we me and Lou talked before the show.
Scott:Oh, here we go again, all right. January 6th approximately 1000 Led Zeppelin fans waiting for tickets to go on sale for Led Zeppelin's February 4th concert Caused an estimated $30,000 in damage. I know people that were there. And to the lobby of the Boston Garden, I know people that were there. The fans reportedly broke chairs and doors and caused other damage to the building. Boston Mayor Kevin White cancels the upcoming show. Yeah, I remember that.
Scott:They must have been pissed oh oh, yeah, well, they acted up, they fucked around and found out. Yeah, january 8th, three Led Zeppelin concerts at Madison Square Square Garden sell out in a record four hours. January 12th 1975. The Warner Brothers music show begins a nine city 18 show tour of Europe. The tour included Warner Brothers acts, little Feet Tower of Power, the Dubby Brothers, bonnaroo, montrose and Graham Central Station.
Lou:Wow who was born.
Scott:What?
Mark:a tour.
Scott:Graham Central Station. Is that what's his name?
Mark:No, he was dead by then.
Lou:Grand Bond, let me see my grandparson says for sure.
Scott:No, it was Bonnaroo. I don't know what Bonnaroo was. Bonnaroo, Let me see Bonnaroo, their American pop rock band, which ran 74 to 75. Bobby Winkleman on guitar and singer-songwriter. Bill Cuomo keyboardist. Michael Hossack drums. Robert Litchtig bass. Yeah, so they were a Warner Brothers band. One and done, literally one year and done 74, 75.
Mark:Oh it was named after Larry Gran, the founder. He was, he's, he's a great bass player.
Scott:Oh, ok, all right.
Mark:OK, january.
Lou:He was from the Slime.
Mark:Family Stones band.
Lou:I think yeah.
Scott:Yeah, oh, January 24th 1975. Jazz pianist Keith Jarrett plays the solo improvisation the clone concert in Kelowna, and nobody cares.
Mark:No, no, no, no. That's one of my favorite albums.
Scott:Well, it is the best selling piano recording in history.
Mark:So you do like to chill, scott. That might be worth checking out sometime if you want to meditate. Just getting in there, it's, it's pretty incredible.
Scott:I'll just listen to bossa nova. I'm pretty good with that I'm good with that. I actually had for sofa my my my birthday party last Saturday night. I had a nice playlist while the paella king cooked up a huge fucking batch of seafood paella and chicken paella and I had a nice bossa nova soundtrack going.
Mark:Oh yeah it was really great.
Scott:Yeah, it was really nice. You guys didn't get the invite, I didn't.
Mark:Oh, I stupidly texted you happy birthday, thinking it was your birthday.
Scott:Well, everybody thought it was. You know I had it because my quick, my birthday, is a week before Christmas. You can't really get people on that weekend. Yeah, I learned that over the years. It's really hard to do that, so I decided to have it a couple weeks early Makes sense, and yeah, or a week of weekend, that two weeks, or whatever it is. Let me see February, according to the spelling 13th, the film Slade in Flame starring the members of Slade Primers at the Metropole Theater in London.
Mark:Hmm, no, there's a movie.
Scott:I read that and I go maybe Lou knows something about it, Because I don't.
Lou:Was there a plot? Oh, I cannot think. It was a very loose plot, I'm sure there's a haunted amusement park.
Mark:Yeah, yeah.
Scott:Yeah, was there a phantom involved?
Mark:Drunk ace freely, hey, evidently.
Scott:Yeah, evidently there was flames, because it was Slade in Flame. February 21st, john Lennon releases what I call a fucking lazy album, his rock and roll LP featuring his favorite rock songs from the 50s. To promote the album, he conducts a telephone interview with 20 rock station radios radio stations simultaneously. That's just fucking lazy.
Lou:I'm not a fan of that record, so I was.
Scott:I saw an interview and I forget, I forget the guy's name, but he was saying that Beatles didn't really break up because of Yoko. He thinks that and he, he was kind of in the know. The Beatles broke up because there was a competition, according to this guy, between John and Paul Well, and it was all about the A sides. Now, remember, they would put out singles that wouldn't be on albums, right, right. So good example is you have what is it? Penny Lane, and I think revolution, right?
Lou:Penny Lane revolution the other side of the Hagewood, I think either one, either one.
Scott:Maybe it was Hagewood. Hagewood gets the A side Shock went up for Paul Right, and so it kept going with. Paul was getting all these A sides, you know in the ladder end of the strawberry fields in Penny Lane, and Penny Lane gets the A side Right.
Lou:It wasn't a double A side.
Scott:I don't know. According to this guy it was, and if it was a double A, I don't know. Something had to do with McCartney getting the and he got the first day I worked out. And so then he said that you know he would talk to Lenin and Lenin's like, and Paul calls me and says he just wrote 10 songs. He goes no, I have to write 10 songs. It was a competition between those two.
Mark:Yeah, but this was this guy's theory. If he didn't, if he wasn't married, I think they would have broken up. You know they had two of them were just on such a diversion, two different courses. It wouldn't have worked.
Scott:Yeah, yeah, too much talent in one room.
Lou:And if you look at the period when their manager died, that's when Paul kind of took over.
Scott:Yeah.
Lou:But some of those A sides is kind of hard to deny. I mean, you know you think about what on the radio if it's Penny Lane, strawberry Fields. Penny Lane is a much more up tempo pop song. Strawberry Fields is great, it's amazing. So it's just a little different.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Lou:So it's that kind of thing. I mean I think I think Lenin wanted out at that point. Maybe you made it easier, I think.
Scott:Paul was probably wearing him down because Paul is a fucking. He was. Evidently he was a writing machine.
Lou:Well, he was. Well, I want you to know that. I watched it back again and I was. I was getting irritated watching Lenin during this thing.
Scott:I haven't watched it yet, so he's.
Lou:I don't want to give away too much, but I mean you can. I mean, paul is at a creative peak, and what's he going to do? Not be at his creative peak? He was still in the Beatles.
Scott:Is it in? Is it on Disney Plus?
Lou:It's not Disney, yeah.
Scott:I won't like cancel Disney.
Mark:Plus. Oh God, here we go again.
Scott:Hashtag cancel Disney Plus people Nope.
Mark:I subscribe and I'm a proud of it.
Scott:You also subscribe to Rolling Stone magazine.

Lou:How does it feel? I fucking knew it was coming.
Scott:As soon as I, as soon as I said it, I go. Yeah, we go DJ.
Mark:Khaled is on the cover this month. Who's?

Scott:Here we go, here we go. Uh, march 1st 1975, 17th annual Grammy Awards. I always liked these. This part, presented in New York, hosted by Andy Williams, stevie Wonder's fulfilling this first finale wins album of the year. Olivia Newton-John's I honestly love you wins record of the year. That was pretty good.
Lou:Reccom to you here.
Scott:See, now I can do a an Olivia Newton-John imitation. I'm just building my repertoire.
Lou:Yeah, I can't.
Scott:Sounded just like her and Bob Astray says oh, this fucking song, the way we were. A monster song of the year that was a monster song. That's still a great song. It's still a great song. What movie was it from Star's?
Speaker 4:Born.

Lou:That's a Ryan Arneal movie. No, you're, you're right, you're right.

March 2nd 1975, los Angeles police make a routine traffic stop. That turns out to be Paul McCartney and his wife Linda. Linda is arrested. She took the hit for this one. She's arrested for having 170 to 225 grams.
Speaker 4:That's a big differential.
Scott:I was in law enforcement for 32 years. That's a big differential. Who's operating? The scale anywhere between 170 to 220. What are you guessing? Six to eight ounces, what do you mean?
Scott:Like, not six to six and a quarter ounces, but maybe six to six and a. No, it's six to eight ounces, we don't know. It's just going to guess the LAPD, it doesn't matter. Yeah, she had it in her pocket book. She took the hit for Paul. You know that. Yeah, we'd have a good wife, but back then we was, we was uh that's what got caught with her. Yeah.
Lou:It was weird. We don't know that. That's that's. He's got a history of that he got. He got locked up in Japan, yeah.
Scott:Yeah, so you know. In March 21st 1975, alice Cooper, now a solo artist, begins the. This is a great album. Welcome to my nightmare tour. Call him a zoo Michigan.

Scott:Yeah, march 23rd 1975, promoted Bill Graham stages the SNACK snack Students need athletics culture and kicks charity concert at Keys off stadium in San Francisco, california, to benefit the city's educational system. They can use it today.

The Dewey Brothers, santana, jefferson Starship Tower of Power, eddie Palomarie, joan Baez, graham Central Station and Neil Young, joined by members of the band.

Scott:Do you have his height and weight there by chance?

Scott:I just hope the monitor works.
Mark:I Saw him at monitor problems this Sunday.
Scott:Yeah, we didn't play. We didn't have an episode last week because mox computer shit the bed Lou was sick and I was like I got guests in town. It's coming in the next day and it was like all roads just led to no show last week.
Scott:Yeah, and it's a lot of in the, in the seven, in the seven people that would that listen were disappointed. Ah, let's jump into movies, let's take a break and go to movies from 75. Yeah, I'll start off with Say hello. Or 120 days of Sodom, world War two, italy for fascist Libertines. Round up nine analysts and boys and girls and subject them to a hundred and twenty days of physical, mental and sexual torture. That was a movie. That was a movie in 75 75, yeah, yeah, the European movie.
Lou:Did you have to wear an overcoat when you saw that I don't?
Scott:know, We'd start off. We start off really kind of We'll bottom out right from the beginning. We can only go up from this point, can only go up. Okay, all right, mark, oh.
Mark:Oh, our favorite Karen, black trilogy of terror, oh.
Scott:Made one of the best made for TV movies. But everyone only remembers that, that one, that one, doll the doll.
Mark:That's all that remembers the doll. Her teeth at the end when iconic.
Scott:Yeah, when she's, she's, she squats down in front of the door with the butcher knife and just that stab in the floor. Yeah, she calls her mother. You don't see her face or anything. Yeah, mom, you can come over now Squats and she does the Filipino squat. That's who. That's who they call the Filipino squat. He can see they can squat down there but can touch the ground.
Mark:Their knees are still bent, it's amazing and the director said they didn't plan, that, he didn't think.
Scott:She did that all herself that's why it was so great. Yeah right, yeah.
Lou:Lou In honor of the late, a random yield movie, barry Linden. Hmm, how do you lend it? Wow, right, by Stanley Kubrick. Do you ever see it? I'm sure I did, and interesting it's he plays this like kind of a rogue. It's trying to marry into high society. But what cool about the movie was that they use all candlelight all the indoors that he's any like. Naturally it was all lighting. That would have happened.
Scott:That's Stanley Kubrick. Yeah, one flew over the cuckoo's nest. 75 the biggie.
Mark:Yeah, my memories of 1970s New York, with the smell of leaded gas and urine in the in the phone booths my father took me to Maybe that's giving the today, today's New York. It was far worse than a 70. Father took me to Radio City Music Hall to see a movie. We saw the sunshine boys.
Scott:Oh, George Burns and Walter Maffo. Walter Maffo.
Mark:He had. We didn't have much money, but it was one day he said I'm gonna take you to the city to see a movie. Could have seen it in westwood, we could, it was an experience I'll never forget, yeah.
Lou:Lou, you go in the tank Cage goes in the water.
Scott:Yeah, jaws, jaws, oh yeah, I voted the number one horror, most scariest movie ever, really, oh Dude. A generation of children and adults it did from to this day. I can still yeah, I mean that movie is the scariest movie ever made. I think not a living dead is the scariest. I don't know. I mean that's, that's good. This is a psychological scare, this is an imprint.
Mark:An imprint on your brain.
Lou:The ocean is not our environment.
Mark:So it's the deep dark ocean. That's what's scary about it.
Lou:Yeah. Yeah and even though in you know there was 75, you know the technology. I watched it recently. It's still really good, absolutely. I mean that didn't help a job at that shark, absolutely yeah.
Scott:And then they tried to capitalize on it with the deep. The only thing good about the deep was Jacqueline Bissette in the t-shirt with no bra the wet t-shirt, no bra.
Lou:She was a hammer. Yes, she was.
Speaker 4:I hammer.
Mark:Do you remember orca? That was another one.
Scott:Yeah, that was another one, yeah.
Lou:Richard.

Scott:One of the funniest movies ever made. Monty Python in the Holy Grail.
Mark:Just a flesh wound, it's just a flesh wound Right.
Scott:That's one of those epic, the fucking dude. The dude it was, it was. What's his name? Who's the guy that did all the the cartoons?
Speaker 4:Oh.
Scott:Monty Python, terry Gilliam, terry Gilliam, with the fucking coconuts. Then you had to do this I just thought that was the funniest fucking thing. And and then in John Cleese, you know, running like he's like he's on a horse, brilliant, fucking brilliant. Yeah, shit, that the woke crowd will never let happen today.
Speaker 4:Oh, no, no, no.
Mark:I like it.
Lou:Yeah right.
Mark:Well, you like it, but Mark, Um hi corny devils rain. Remember that was. He was good at his role.
Lou:He.
Scott:He's an Oscar winner best actor, oscar wasn't that one of those movies, I believe? So you had. You had Mark of the Devil right. That came out and I don't think that was 75, might have been a year earlier. Whatever Mark of the devil was all, it was one of those Bof bag. They gave out buff bags at the front door.
Scott:And the big scene was when they ripped the guy's tongue out of his mouth, right yeah. And then the devil's rain comes along, and you know there was. There was some crazy hype to that one too.
Mark:Satanic movies were huge in 70s. Yeah, I think about the old man, all of them.
Scott:You know what about all the devil's triangles movies that came out. There was a, but there was like TV there was. There was a few devil's triangles because that was a devil's a thing, right, yeah, yeah, devil's triangle, let's see, pulled the guys. Was that 75?
Lou:80s yeah.
Scott:Did you say Lou?
Lou:that's late 70s, early 80s, I mean oh, what was it?
Scott:Did you give a movie?
Lou:My turn. Yeah, dog day afternoon. Ah yeah, classic, yep, it's not true story.

Scott:Every movie he was in the best picture, great movie, yeah, great, yeah Hunter dear Hunter right.
Scott:That was his last movie, yeah he died young Movie that started off as an absolute flop but became an absolute, probably the number one Cult movie of all time. Rocky Horror Picture Show yeah yeah was released as it like a real, like they thought it was a. It had theatrical release and fucking bomb, absolute bomb. And then someone played it in a midnight movie, somewhere probably like New Jersey. I actually saw it in New Jersey. I Saw it in New Jersey.
Speaker 4:You were in Jersey, I went to.
Scott:New Jersey to visit this girl that I went to school with. Right went to college with. What we went in there was it was another girl and myself and her and maybe one of her friends, and we went into this theater and I was fucking, absolutely out of my mind, drunk right and just tormenting the whole theater right, the small town of Jersey Tournament it might have been somewhere on Cherry Hill or something I don't know nice, nice, nice. And at one point, when you know you have to have the squirt guns like they squirt guns, and you need the umbrella, these motherfuckers got a bucket of water and threw it at me in the theater in my seats.
Scott:Oh, it was just chaos, but it was fun. It wasn't like you know fights, it was just absolute. I brought a whole element to that thing because the same people go every week, right, yeah, it's like a club. I Went in there and I was rip roar in that place up. Oh, Good times. At the Rocky horror picture show there was a thing to do here is he.
Lou:There were two midnight showings of it.
Scott:That's it, that's the someone did it. Someone had a midnight showing and it just caught on. Yeah, I don't know. This theater was showing it every Saturday night every Saturday night Mid-dorah.
Mark:There were two movies that were known for midnight showings. That and song remains the same. That was always midnight showings when I was growing up in the 80s. Right, right Lou, let me mock a Sequel French connection to where he takes heroin. Yeah, remember that, pop, I shoot it up, yeah.

Lou:Lou Rollerball yeah.
Scott:Jonathan, jonathan, they tried to do a remake of that. Oh, it's horrible. I know, Can't replace James Cahn, it's today they well, there's no talent, there's no originality.
Mark:Remake a movie. That's why they do it.
Scott:No, they actually the one I'm about to say. They did a remake. It wasn't as good as the fur, the original, because the original had kind of a that. That that 70s grind house kind of way was filmed Death Race 2000. Yeah, david Carran, do you remember the character you played in the movie?
Lou:Frankenstein, frankenstein, yeah. And the silver sister, oh is it?
Scott:Yeah, they did a death race 2000 remake, I think with what's his name.
Mark:Um this guy.
Scott:Tom Hardy was a Tom. No, was it Tom Hardy or was it?
Mark:Jason Statham.
Scott:Jason Statham. Yeah, yeah I. I kind of liked the remake to that. Okay, yeah it's a pretty hard, but death race 2000 the original was that's. I might actually watch that again.
Mark:The scene that I liked and I remember is so you have to kill people to get points. So it's Sylvester Stallone goes in front of the nursing home and you see all these old people flying up.
Scott:Yeah, yeah, right up into like the yeah, right up to the front door.
Lou:He's just remember his character. He's like a gangster, he's like a mafia guy.
Scott:Oh, yeah, yeah.
Mark:Mark.

Scott:Lou.
Lou:I went in of a similar vein cornbread Earl and me, lawrence Fishburn's first movie, ah, another coming of age story, urban kids.
Scott:So this movie is an absolute. I Might have to watch this one. Russ Myers, vixens, russ Myers. For those that don't know who, russ Myers is the king of the gigantic boobs movies. Every girl he had an obsession with, large breasts and supervixens, is an absolute Russ Meyer. I was just watching the preview as you guys talking like Whoo-hoo. Yeah, there's no lacking in that one.
Scott:It's rated X, though bet for back then. No one under 17 admitted. Wow, I just think there was just too much breastasis. Yeah, yeah, super Vixens, hey now, now, hey now.
Mark:Mark Hard times, james Coburn and Charles Bronson. Oh yeah, yeah. Well, that's a good one, right?
Lou:Well, that's a good one, yeah Lou, the Yakuza Yakuza. Another Sydney Pollock movie, robert Mitchum. One of his last things, one of his last big starring roles, ken Takakura. Apparently it's gotten some cult classics. It did get rated well when the first command. Nobody saw it. But he plays a detective going over to Japan to deal with the Japanese gangsters but it's all pretty interesting.
Scott:Is there such an underrated actor?
Lou:Yeah, yeah how about boy Is are though he could play some crazy pots.
Scott:What was the? Uh, oh, the um, you know, kick, kick here.
Lou:Keep fair yeah.
Scott:Oh man, that was.
Lou:yeah, can he was crazy in that one, that that's a movie that I think both are really really good. Yeah, good job at it too.
Scott:Yeah but, the way it was filmed, though Cape Fear With Robert Mitchum was just really creepy yeah black and white right.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah.
Scott:So this movie I was released in 75 but had a rebirth in the early 80s, and it was. It was Don Johnson's first movie. A boy and his dog, right. But a guy in a post-apocalyptic world with dogs can smell females and he had a dog and the dog talked. And have you ever seen it, mark?
Mark:No. And then at one point he gets brought down.
Scott:He gets, he gets. I won't tell you go, you gotta see it. But he finds it's. It takes a twist. There's a twist in the plot and it's pretty. But it's really kind of a Interesting movie. But because of Miami Vice and Don Johnson and they were like, oh, let's re-release this, so it kind of came out again and had a resurgence.
Mark:Did you know Don Johnson wrote a couple songs with the almond brothers. He was more for acting, he was really into music. Ah, he's credited on a couple albums.
