When the final notes of the year resonate through the air, it's time to gather 'round for a special gathering of minds and melodies. This is precisely what Host Scott McLean did, inviting Mark Smith and Luke Alicchio from the Music Relish show to share the microphone for an episode brimming with heartfelt tributes and uproarious tales. As we bid farewell to musical greats like David Crosby and Lisa Loring, we also crack open the vault of pop culture, examining the enduring charm of wrestling figures, the intrigue of indoor block parties, and the peculiarities of fame à la "Searching for Sugar Man."
Navigating the blurred lines between laughter and nostalgia, our conversation meanders from the impact of aging rock stars to the influence of television legends like Norman Lear. We find ourselves knee-deep in discussions about Richard Belzer's comedic roots and John C. Reilly's versatility, all while reflecting on personal holiday traditions and the wine that probably shouldn't have been opened. Through it all, our banter embodies the essence of music and memories, of personal stories woven into the larger tapestry of life.
Tying up the year with a musical bow, we share our favorite songs with unforgettable endings, from the orchestral climax of "A Day in the Life" to the extended jam of Lynyrd Skynyrd's live "Free Bird." We also hop in our time machine, traveling back to 1979 to dissect the top singles that defined a year on the cusp of a new decade. It's an episode that refuses to fade out quietly, just like the classic tracks we pay homage to. So turn up the volume and join us for a finale that's as eclectic and vibrant as the year itself, captured in the rhythm of our collective stories.

Speaker 3:Now let's talk music.
Scott:Enjoy the show. Thank you, amanda, for that wonderful introduction as usual. Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. Welcome to the podcast. You know the name? I'm not going to say it. We're streaming live right now over Facebook, youtube X. I hesitated afterwards because I always say the T word, x, twitch, d live. Uh, you know a few other things? Few other things. Let me get this kind of moved over here. Uh, yeah, so we have our end of year show. Uh, my, I got a new piece of equipment for Christmas. Dr Vera hooked me up.
Scott:So if my voice sounds a little different than it usually does, I'm still working out the kinks, trying to get it right where I want it. A few people that might listen a lot. I don't know if you know it, but maybe you do that I am on. Everything is sound. Sound to me is everything. Well, it is a podcast. It's supposed to sound good, but I want to sound where I want to, how I want to sound. So you know you fight with new equipment.
Scott:Now, this was uh, like I always refer to this, this story that Trent Reznor from uh, nine inch nails was asked in an interview. Why do you, why do you smash your keyboards and equipment. And he says, well, if the machine doesn't work, the machine must pay. So, oh, trust me, today I wish I could smash this thing, but uh, dr Vera would not appreciate that too much and then I would regret it and nothing good comes of that. So I'm at this point right now, not that any of you care, I'm just waiting for people to come into the live stream. Uh, with all that said, uh, let's uh bring in one half of the wrecking too, because the other one's in here. Hold on, I got, I got a special introduction for him, hold on.

Lou:house party, A block party. You got this. You got the neighborhoods roped off but it's in a house, it's an indoor block party.
Scott:So it's basically when you go from house to house. Is that how that works?
Lou:Maybe we'll find out.
Scott:Like everyone just has their front door open, heating the street and just walking in, anybody walking? Into anybody's house, like using your bathroom. Yeah, yeah, me and my friends used to love parties like that.
Lou:Double dipping in the dip everywhere.
Scott:Yeah.
Lou:Those, those what he's going to do.
Scott:People leave it, they're bare and they're refrigerator. They trust people. I mean, yeah, right, you know? I don't know. I didn't grow up like that. We loved parties like that because it saved us a lot of money, because we didn't have to buy beer the next day.
Lou:We used to Right it's not a block party unless you're playing. What's the matter you?
Scott:What is that? Is that the Italian block party song?
Lou:That's Italian block party song yes Circa 1980. Yeah, yeah.

Lou:Hell yeah.
Scott:Like just the smallest speck.
Lou:Yep Drives me nuts.
Scott:I hate it, but they somehow always appear, no matter how many times I clean these. In a half hour, somehow a spot is going to be there. It's like it grows. But well, let's jump right into it. So, again, there's the fucking spot.
Lou:Or is it a scratch?
Scott:I missed it. No, not a scratch. I have a pair that is scratched and that's like a break glass in case of emergency.
Lou:That's all it says. Welcome to Cataracts too, because the thing's always in your eye. It just can't, it won't go away yeah.
Scott:It's like a permanent floater while you're wearing them. So we are going out. Patty Yassi, good evening. She says, scott and Lou, happy New Year. Yeah, I'm going to be there as soon as he can. We might let him get caught up. We might not let him get caught up, we'll see. We'll see where the show is going. So, end of year show, and, like I said in the intro, it's always about death. Yes, right, it's never really like. Hey, there was a great festival back in July. You know, end of years are always like doom and gloom. So let's get into the doom and gloom. Well, let's start right off with the most recent person, the past way, like it was two days ago. Tom Smothers yeah, baby Boomers, yep, the Smothers Brothers, musicians and comedians.
Lou:They're activists, activists, yep. They had a cool TV show. Remember the Smothers Brothers? Was it the comedy hour? Was that?
Scott:the comedy hour. Yeah, it was funny.
Lou:Yeah, tommy played the dumb guy, but he wasn't no.
Scott:He wasn't, but he was great at doing it.
Lou:Oh yeah, he was the edgier of the two actually.
Scott:Yeah, yeah, because he could get away with it, because he played dumb, you know, yep, make those like comments and be like huh what? So, yeah, he passed away. But let me see, I think we'll start off the beginning of the year. The child star, adam Rich from Eight is Enough. He was the youngest kid.
Lou:Did he die?
Scott:He died. Yeah Well, the beginning of the year, January 7th.
Lou:Wow, he was young probably.
Scott:He died from effects of drug fentanyl. Wow, yep, another one, fentanyl A lot of that stuff. Yeah.
Lou:Around this part of the state too. Western North Carolina. It's everywhere, dude, it's everywhere.
Scott:It's everywhere. So who do you got? We'll kind of bounce around.
Lou:There's I mean there's Hollywood celebrities, musicians.
Scott:Whoever you want.
Lou:A lot of me is okay. I'm going to mention because on our playlist today, songs by this guy kept popping up, and it's Jim Gordon the drummer, legendary drummer, jim Gordon.
Scott:Oh, yeah, yeah.
Lou:He's 72 or 77. He died in prison.
Scott:Yeah, give the people a little background.
Lou:Yeah, jim Gordon is just a session drummer extraordinaire from a young kid. He played with the Everly Brothers. He was a member of the Wrecking Crew. He played with the Beach Boys. He's the drummer on the Derrick and the Dominoes, layla and Assorted Love Songs. He's a co-writer of Layla. He played in Gordon Lyford Just session extraordinaire, steeley Dan. That's him on Ricky, don't Lose that Number. But the guy was an old guy and, long story short, he was schizophrenic, undiagnosed. He was misdiagnosed with alcohol problems, which he probably had too, but he murdered his mother like in 1983, I think and spent the rest of his life in prison.
Mark:Yeah, yeah.
Scott:Brilliant drummer, but trouble do If he was on the Wrecking Crew then not to be confused with the Wrecking too.
Lou:No one can touch the Wrecking too.
Scott:That's right. They're on their own level of brilliance.
Lou:Yeah, man.
Scott:Oh, so you mentioned Steeley Dan, Even the one song. They have writing credits on every single song right, Backyard and Fagin, except for one.
Lou:Do you know what song it is? Probably not. Is it Dirty Work?
Scott:No, no Fez.
Lou:Oh, wow.
Scott:Okay, without the Fez on. They got stuck. When you have two people writing, I guess sometimes it can be, you can't get past things. And piano player, keyboard player I forget his name, but they asked him, hey, because he played on all that, like almost all their albums. He was a studio guy and they said can you do with this? The guy added the melody in there and the whole thing and they were like you know what? Let's give them a writing credit. Wow, that was it.
Scott:They got another writing credit from those Smart business move.
Lou:Yeah, yeah, I mean a lot of these guys. You know people have played on the Beatles records. These orchestra guys got scale.
Mark:Yeah, yeah.
Lou:But without Miss Fez on Royal Scan.

Lou:I want a Fez, by the way. Yeah, shriner.
Scott:Let's see Fez. Here comes the Fez Song facts yeah, the Royal.
Lou:Scan.
Scott:Okay, 76. Yeah, yeah, great album, yep, one of their I think it's always kind of overshadowed by pretzel logic and Asia and you know, it wasn't a big hit album, though was it no?
Lou:No Great songs, I mean.
Scott:Yeah, the Royal Scan itself is an amazing song. Yeah, so out of their box Right.
Lou:I'm not sure if Kit Charlemagne's on that one.
Mark:It might be.
Lou:Because those are album tracks that got radio play though. Yeah, that's how we know them. So maybe it wasn't a hit, but I mean, god damn, they played it.
Scott:Yep, joanne Kosborski's in there. Hi, joanne. Hey, she shared it. She shared the live stream. Thank, you. Joanne, we love you. Happy New Year. Then back in. Let me see the Keytide. Yeah, last January, Jeff Beck. Yep, Doesn't seem like last January, does it?

Scott:Well, look at the weather, you know what I mean.
Lou:No, really, so maybe not you know a geographic where they live? Yeah, exactly, everyone knows Florida in January I know I have.

Lou:Yeah.
Scott:Yeah, Sugar man. Sugar man yep Searching for Sugar man.
Lou:Yeah, you've seen that.
Scott:Oh, I highly recommend it. If you ever want to see a great music documentary and it's not really about the music, it is, but this guy's life was very interesting, Searching for Sugar man I highly highly suggest it. I don't know if a lot of people are into documentaries, you know Right, but if you want to watch a really interesting documentary on somebody you've never heard of, but you should have heard of him, and no one really heard of him in America until this documentary came on that won a lot of awards too, I think.
Lou:Yeah, that's. You know the song Sugar man. I mean I remember hearing that somewhere. Just you know some college station will play or some obscurity on XM, but I didn't know anything about it. In fact that guy worked with. He didn't know who he was and he just happened to watch the documentary off hand.
Mark:Yeah.
Lou:And he said he goes, who is this guy? It's fascinating. He kind of went underground there.
Scott:He just kind of fell off and, yeah, yeah, just did his own thing, never even knew. Never knew that a whole country Well, what was the country? It wasn't wasn't like Buenos Aires or something, Something.
Lou:yeah, he wasn't a man of the, it was a really awesome country, off-center country that you went to Portugal or something.
Scott:Yeah, yeah, but it was uh, did they? Oh no, wasn't it in South Africa?
Lou:I think so. I think you're right yeah.
Scott:And then they, they, just they heard his album in the place where the whole country went nuts and he had no idea. He had no idea that he was basically an icon over there.
Lou:Superstar Unknown in his own country. That's an old story too, yeah.
Scott:So watch that documentary. Searching for sugar manual Be disappointed. Also, back in January, david Crosby died in January. Another one.

Lou:But still, I mean I, I said that a couple of years ago, some friend. I said you know your musician, you know don't go, don't leave the house in January, you know, and just be fucking careful. I don't know, it's disproportionate, almost.

Speaker 3:Jeff Beck did you mention him?
Scott:Not been repeated All right.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you know he died and he shocked everybody because he wasn't sick and he died suddenly. But then it was kind of a wake up call that you, me, lou Perry, a lot of these artists we like like really old now. And don't be shocked when your favorite artist dies, because there's 70 something you know you know, in the 60s, you don't want to think about that being well.

Lou:I love when he plays guitar.
Speaker 3:Me too. Me too, I don't know if not to crack. Sometimes he's very singular in his playing, but he's definitely good, and actually I read his biography, not book, but I was reading up on him just last night. He's done a lot more than just the police. He's had an amazing career Soft Machine.
Scott:Yeah, soft Machine. Wow, good call, I forgot all about that. Yeah, wow, yeah, good plug. Um well, this, this, this person died. She was 82 and she still. She died in February, still hot at 82, raquel Welsh. Oh yeah, that's right. I mean, that woman was timelessly beautiful, yeah, she, yeah, she was. And if she had worked on it didn't really show.
Lou:No, like Sophia Loren.
Scott:Yeah, yeah, some of them really. You know, joe Rivers, you can go down the list of them. That it's like so obvious.
Lou:Madonna plastic surgery killed Joe Rivers.
Scott:Yeah, yeah, um also killed the lead singer of a Pete Byrne from a Dead or Alive.
Lou:Really yeah, yeah.
Scott:He had way too much plastic surgery and I think one of them went bad on him and fuck yeah, Um, the original boy George. He was always resentful. That boy George got all that attention. He was around before them, Dead or Alive. So yeah, Raquel Welsh, a sex symbol of the ages.
Lou:Yep.
Scott:Yep.
Lou:Remember Mother Jugs and Speed Mother.
Scott:Jugs and Speed. That's right.
Lou:Let's hope they don't call you a speed for everything.
Scott:Uh, fantastic voyage, oh yeah.

Scott:It's a good, it's a fun watch, right.
Lou:Yeah, it really is. I mean it was done really well. Considered it was at 66 or something. Yeah, it's a fun watch.
Scott:Yeah Um one million years. Bc. That was the poster right. That's the one.
Lou:She was a cave woman. That's a story.
Scott:Pretty, best looking cave woman ever.
Lou:Ever Must have been. Must have been a lot of competition for her man.
Mark:Yeah, they could all make a zug zug with her.
Scott:Yeah, yeah, she was, I believe, in the running for Mary Ann on Gilligan's Island. Wow.
Lou:Yeah, that wouldn't work Too sexy. Well it would have.
Scott:I mean, it would have ruined her.
Lou:It would have Ginger.
Scott:Ginger couldn't compete Well Ginger there was somebody who was in the running for Ginger too. That was very, uh, very beautiful. I forget who it was, but yeah, but it would have. It would have killed her career. Yeah, you know, because no one on that show, Alan Hale Jr, was. He was making movies for years before that. He never really did anything after.
Lou:A skipper yeah.
Scott:Yeah, who do you got Luke?
Lou:Uh, let's see. Oh um Barrett Strong. Uh, the writer, a songwriter, he wrote Money, heard it through the great.
Scott:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah For Motown.
Lou:Yeah, motown guy, he wrote War.
Scott:Yeah, or Edwin Starr, just what is it good?
Lou:for Absolutely Um just my imagination. He wrote Papa was a Rolling Stone, amongst others. Yeah, and everyone knows, everyone knows Money by the Beatles cover mostly, and the flying lizards. Flying lizards yeah, I love that version. That's a great version. That's so weird. It's so fucking weird. That's the. When that stuff came out, I was just like this is great. German. Oh God, yeah, and I sent a video to you guys. She's just so dead, she's like a corpse.
Scott:Yeah, eyes are blinking. No, no, it's not bad to look at either.
Lou:No, I don't know the names of anyone in that band, but no yeah. Okay.
Scott:What do you got, Mark?
Speaker 3:Did you guys mention Roger Whitaker?
Scott:No.
Speaker 3:No.
Mark:Okay, roger Whitaker.
Scott:Yeah.
Lou:Roger Whitaker, that's right, he was English.
Scott:Was he Infomer? One of the infomercial kings of the of the eighties.
Lou:That's right. That's where that's from. Okay, yeah.
Scott:Roger Whitaker. And he was every infomercial the great.
Lou:Roger Whitaker sings the.
Scott:Beatles Right.
Speaker 3:Right, hey, he had to make money.
Scott:He was making money, people were buying that shit.
Lou:Slim women couldn't hold a candle.
Scott:No, but slim women had a better name and a better look, yeah.
Lou:Yeah, that pencil mustache. Yeah, the David Niven mustache.
Scott:I think it was even less than that.
Lou:It was even thinner than that. Yeah, yeah, I wish I had a pencil and mustache. Yeah.
Scott:Yeah, yeah.
Mark:Yeah.
Scott:Yeah, okay, richard Bell's had died last year, did he? Yeah, richard Bell yeah.
Lou:Bell's. He was probably older than we think, wasn't he, or no?
Scott:He was let me see 78.
Lou:Mm, mm-hmm.
Scott:So he did one of the best well for TV. It was the best police drama in the history of television. I don't care what anybody says, this is my opinion and I know about television. Homicide life on the streets was so groundbreaking, yeah Right. The characters were so well written, yeah, and cast. So he was on that show. He had a role as one of the detectives. Mm-hmm it takes place in Baltimore. The same guy that wrote that wrote the Wire also.
Speaker 3:That's my favorite, which is the hands down greatest police show ever.
Lou:Yes.
Scott:I never saw the Wire. Oh, dude, you gotta watch it, you gotta watch it. So Bell's are that character from homicide ends up crossing over to homicide life on the streets, oh, was it Lauren Orta Was it Law and order Law and order. Yeah, he ends up crossing over to that show the same character, which is really rare in television to cross over to another series as the same character. So, and he was a stand up comedian you know forever. Yeah, yeah, he was in 326 episodes of Lauren Of Law and Order.
Lou:Wow, that's like a whole year's worth 326 episodes.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and they filmed that at a frenetic pace, from what I heard, so he worked hard.
Lou:Yeah, yeah, wasn't he a comedian by trade? Most he was a stand up. He was a stand up comedian, yeah, okay.
Scott:Once he started acting, he never really went back to stand up.
Lou:They never do really. Yeah, it's true.
Scott:It's almost like they did it. He's a stand up as a means to an end.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and then vice versa. When a serious actor does comedy like Vince Vaughn he started out dramatic John C Riley these guys started out serious actors. Once they go comedy, you can never really watch him be serious.
Scott:John C Riley is a great actor.
Lou:He's a good drummer too.
Scott:Yeah, he's a great actor.
Lou:Yeah.
Scott:No, John C Riley is a drummer.
Lou:I saw a video of him playing the drums, yeah.
Mark:Really.
Lou:Yeah, he plays guitar too. He sings. We see about a comedy. That's not easy to do. Comedy, right, right, nobody's laughing. We're laughing at the movie when you're filming no one's laughing he does these. They're playing these scenes straight being funny. You know the technicians and the crew can't laugh, so it's not an easy thing to do.
Scott:He, john C Riley does it. He did this skit called Check it Out. He did these little skits on Adult Swim right on the Katsu Network. Dude, I'll send you these things. Fucking hilarious, one of the greatest characters I've ever seen in comedy skits. It's based on, like this public you know, like a what do you call it? Local cable access show. I'll send you the. I'll send you videos called.
Lou:Check it Out. Is there a name he uses In the show?
Scott:Yeah, he's a doctor.
Lou:Yes.
Scott:I forget what it is. I forget his name.
Lou:I know we carried his wine. Did you really? He does it. It's called sweet berry wine.
Mark:He does it.
Lou:He's drinking, he's getting drunk, he's being stupid. He's got wine all over his lips. Yeah, but someone actually made that wine. It's like 40 bucks a bottle. But one of our one of our customers special ordered it, so we had like six bottles of sweet berry. I'm saying you couldn't wash it. I'm laughing at it. I don't think I've ever spent 40 bucks on a bottle.
Speaker 3:Oh, Mark, it can be, it can be a wonderful experience.
Lou:or it can be like yeah, that's right, I'm sure there's a yellow tail reserve.
Speaker 3:Stephen grew.
Scott:That's, that's the character.
Lou:That's it, that's it.
Scott:Stephen gruel yes, he says I'm a drachda. I'm a drachda, that's right, I'm a drachda. He had a scene. It's like an hilarious. I've seen a couple of them. Oh okay, all right, mark, who do you? Got Jim Ladd Just recently.
Speaker 3:Did I skip you Luke?
Scott:I don't. I don't know We'll get back to you. Do you want to ask?
Speaker 3:me how my Christmas was how was your Christmas Mark? It was really good. We made popcorn, we watched a movie and uh, okay, Luke, go ahead, All right.
Lou:So so who died? Alan Ladd, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know what I mean.
Scott:You know, you know what that is, Mark.
Lou:What the hell was that?
Scott:Mark, you know what? That is what you just did. Oh yeah, Penalty box.
Lou:Yeah, it's about time.
Scott:Yeah, right away, bad joke. Whatever he was trying to do, I'm not sure what he was going for. I don't know what he was going for Either.
Lou:I have no idea and then he passed the baton to me, like I was supposed to follow it up with something. Well, mark, you had popcorn, I smoked ribs and grilled steak.
Mark:Yeah, there we go. He's drinking his wine.
Lou:He stole that from the indoor block party too.
Speaker 3:No, he did. You won that with someone's bottle. They had really good chard day. Really good I might have to think twice about this yellow tail.
Lou:How was the popcorn?
Speaker 3:We had tacos Street tacos Nice yeah From Taco Taxi of Pearl River, New York Is there any difference between a regular taco and? A street taco.
Lou:Are they tougher?
Speaker 3:Well, first of all, there's no crunchy tacos in authentic tacos. They'll beat your ass.
Lou:They'll kick your ass. Bad ass, tacos.
Scott:So it's basically an open-face tortilla. Yeah, I mean that's yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:And you know if you get a real authentic taco. There was no such thing as crunchy shells with authentic tacos.
Scott:That's all artisan I like.
Speaker 3:Mexican food. Really I love it. I could eat it every day.
Lou:I'm okay with tacos. A lot of people have a passion for it. I like them.
Scott:Yeah, all right, mark, we got. I don't fuck my wig.
Lou:Did he just go? Didn't he just go?
Scott:He did. He said Jim Ladd, he started saying that he was going to ask me about Christmas and side trip.
Lou:He mentioned Jim Ladd, the last DJ Yep.
Speaker 3:I discovered Jim Ladd from Radio Chaos, from Roger Waters. He narrated the album and I said what a voice. And then, when I got serious XM years later, he did the deep tracks and now he had a great show, yeah.
Mark:Great voice. Yeah, and that's it. He's no Earl Bailey though.
Speaker 3:Nah, but Tom Petty wrote a song about him.
Lou:That's right. Yeah, that was the last DJ, wasn't it? I grew up.
Scott:Last March, one of my favorite actors died. This guy was. He was as unique as they come Tom Sizemore.
Lou:Oh, yeah, yeah that guy.
Scott:He could cover a range of characters and he was a troubled soul yeah, but he died of a brain aneurysm. Yeah, black Hawk Down, saving Private Ryan, reservoir Dogs yes, what else?
Speaker 3:So many.
Scott:Yeah, yeah, I just did a lot of. Oh, he did heat. He was in heat. Yes, yes, he tried to keep that money. He's running, running, running, but he wouldn't let go of those bags of money.
Speaker 3:He had that scene in Black Hawk Down where the guy had no lower body and he's the one that walked up to the guy and the guy's like am I okay? And he's acting in that scene. Yeah, You're gonna be okay. You know, Great actor yeah.
Lou:I saw someone did a really macabre dark kind of when he's scared about him, like taking his, like stealing his son's lunch money to buy drugs and stuff. But the way the guy I don't know who the QE knew was it was funny, but it was like whoa, it was really, really dark.
Scott:Then he got hooked up with Heidi Fleiss. That was.
Lou:Oh, that's right, the Madame.
Scott:Yeah, that was the Hollywood Madame that was a nice.
Lou:There's a good time, girl huh.
Scott:Yeah, well, wasn't good for him yeah.
Lou:What do you got Lou. I got Seymour Stein. Who's Seymour Stein? You might ask yeah, who is he? I think he's an original member of the Rock and the Hall of Fame committee.
Scott:I think, or if not, he was. He was a music, wasn't he a music producer?
Lou:He was a producer. He founded Sire Records. Yeah, so he helped sign the talking heads Yep, the replacements Madonna, the cure, ice-t, ministry, echo and the Bunnyman. He coined the term New Wave.
Mark:Yeah.
Lou:He wanted to distance it from.
Scott:I didn't know that, yeah.
Lou:Yeah, it's funny, you see these old guys. He was like 84, looking like an old geezer, but you know, he was probably 35 back when he signed all these bands. You know, yeah, man, he was probably younger than we are now, but you know, he was a hip dude. But you know those executives, they just had the ear for all kinds of music. Well yep, yep Mark.
Speaker 3:Marty Croft producer extraordinaire with yeah.
Scott:Seymour and the Seamosses HI Puffinstaff.
Speaker 3:Land of the Lost is what I grew up with.
Scott:Lidsville, Land of the Lost Lidsstacks.
Mark:Yeah, yeah.
Scott:I mean iconic Saturday morning shows. Yeah, Sid and Marty Croft, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:He also was part. He called him responsible for it. There was actually a variety show called the Brady Bunch Hour.
Scott:Yeah, and it was produced by Sid and Marty Croft.
Mark:Yeah, yeah.
Scott:Let's see back. In March we lost Gary Rosington.
Lou:Yep, yeah 71. The last remaining original member of Skinnerd.
Scott:Yeah, they didn't give a cause of death either.
Lou:Yeah, he just gave up the ghost, I think, like natural causes, your body just shut down. They didn't mention whether he was ill or not.
Scott:No, no. He survived that plane crash though.
Lou:And he was the inspiration for what Skinnerd's song.
Speaker 3:Oh, that smell, yeah yeah, which I thought was just got BO.
Scott:Whiskey bottles, a brand new car, Oak Tree, you're in my way. That's what he did.
Lou:That's exactly what happened when he did it.
Scott:He did an Oak Tree.
Lou:They call you Prince Charming. Can't speak a word when you're full of booze.
Scott:Full of ludes. Yeah, yeah, see, that's a great song, right yeah?
Speaker 3:Yeah, mark Ralph Cirrella died. Ralph Cirrella Surprised.
Lou:He's not.
Speaker 3:Stern's stylist, but he was an integral part of the show Ralph.
Scott:He died.
Speaker 3:He unexpectedly went in for something and he just died like no one expected it, and it led to one of the greatest tribute shows I ever heard, because when you don't expect someone to die, yeah, you're going to cry. Yeah, he died just like three weeks ago, I think.
Scott:Well, that was. I was listening to Howard Stern before he sold out and I thought one of the great.
Speaker 3:Oh, before he got better.
Scott:No, before heso. The thing about Howard Stern is he always dogged the people in Hollywood, dogged them, ripped them to shreds. Yeah, you know, had no qualms shredding them up. But as soon as he gets popular on XM they all start saying oh Howard, then he's. He all of a sudden has a seat at the table and he's a whole different show. But go back to his old shows, I mean when he was raw and he was. He was hungry and that was the best Howard Stern. This version of Howard Stern. He's an interviewer now.
Speaker 3:He doesn't. Yeah, his interviews are really fucking good.
Scott:I think they're overrated.
Speaker 3:I think they're overrated.
Scott:I really do I saw the Bruce one.
Lou:It was good. But, mark, you mentioned it to me I was like, okay, you know.
Speaker 3:Well, when he talked to Paul McCartney, he's like a fanboy, he's talking as a fan. He's like what did you guys do when you were in the bathroom at Abbey Road?
Scott:What is so brilliant about that? Wouldn't you ask him the same question?
Speaker 3:Because a lot of interviewers get caught up in their own hype and they try to be a certain kind of interviewer. You know they ask the standard questions. He stopped picking on him and he tried to get into their minds. I'm not defending everything he did, but he was able to get more out of his interview subjects by talking to them than attacking them. I mean, look what he did to Robin Williams. He fucked that one up, you know.
Scott:Well, again, I just think he I stopped listening to him.
Speaker 3:You know what happened with Bruce Howard. I grew up on Howard WNBC, so you're not.
Lou:WNBC. Wnbc On AM Radio.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and then I was listening to him on K-Rock and then when he did that stupid thing with Selena, I'm like you know what, I'm not listening to him. I mean, you know you call him someone who just died a whore. I was like I didn't listen to him for years. I just stopped, you know, because I got. How many times can you do the stupid jokes? They get old, you know. And then when he started doing the interviews that's the reason I have seriousness, because I just listened to his interviews- so that's what his core fans wanted, though they liked that I know, Unpredictable.
Scott:You know different than everybody else.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he was different than everybody else, isn't that?
Scott:But all of a sudden he gets a seat at the table and he's everybody's friend now.
Speaker 3:He loves them all. Isn't that what always happens when you start out, edgy? Even David Letterman? Some people say, oh, what happened to David Letterman? So you? He wasn't that edgy, he wasn't going to be who you started out with.
Scott:David Letterman wasn't really. I mean, he never changed his persona, he always was wisecracking. You know, david Letterman did some really strange interviews, while the people were strange, and how he handled them was brilliant, chris.
Mark:Big Lover.
Scott:My point is probably one of the best tribute shows I ever heard was when the angry dwarf died.
Mark:Yes, and they did a whole show with him.
Scott:I mean comedy gold, just absolute fucking comedy gold. Yeah, platinum, comedy platinum. Yeah, you know, yeah, so who did you say Mark?
Speaker 3:Ralph Sorrella.
Scott:Yeah, Ralph Sorrella. Yeah, that's too bad Ralph was. He was an interesting character.
Speaker 3:I used to love hearing him argue with Ronnie and Ronnie admitted on the show he's like. He told me years later. I was just trying to.
Mark:I don't hate you but Ronnie thought he hated him.
Scott:So this guy was strange in the end. But back in March Robert Blake died.
Lou:Yeah, strange, yep, strange dude.
Mark:Yeah.
Scott:Murderer. Well, he got acquitted, he got acquitted, he got acquitted.
Lou:Yeah, yeah, christian Brando was a suspect in that too. I know he was. I could see him doing it.
Scott:Yeah, did he die? Did Christian Brando die?
Lou:He died too a couple years ago. He did Not quite a few years ago.
Scott:Yeah, a while ago he died yeah.
Lou:His sister's boyfriend. So he did. He knows it's like to shoot somebody in the face, that's right. God, that's right he did that yeah. You remember? You ever see Brando's testimony in Christian's trial? I know I did. It's so bizarre. I mean he was at his biggest. Brando was at his biggest. I mean he was trying to squeeze himself into the witness stand and he's crying and it's just.
Lou:You know the whole thing. Brando's biography is a fascinating read, but it's disturbing the pictures of his family and was in hate. Now what do you have is Tahiti. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's, it's squalor, it's just. You look at this picture. There's a child laying in newspapers. You know, it's just. All these, it's just weird.
Scott:Yeah, he was odd, he was still playing Colonel Kurtz.
Lou:Yeah, pretty much.
Scott:Yeah.
Lou:Did you have a favorite Robert Blake movie, or I mean Beretta was.
Scott:Lost Highway was bizarre. Okay, that was one of the most bizarre characters I'd ever seen in a movie David Lynch movie, so it's got to be bizarre.
Lou:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, my favorite's in cold blood.
Scott:Cold blood yeah.
Lou:Yeah.
Mark:True, yes, yeah.
Scott:Yeah.
Lou:Mark.
Speaker 3:Mars Williams, saxophonist for the waitresses as well as the psychedelic first psychedelic first.
Scott:Yeah, yeah.
Lou:We're talking about the waitresses on our Christmas, yeah.
Scott:Yeah, did I skip you again, lou.
Lou:Probably yeah. Who do you got? I got a Tina Turner.
Scott:Yeah, yeah, I got to see her when I was stationed in Albuquerque. I was working constant security on the floor. So neither say I wasn't watching much of the audience, because it was a pretty mellow audience, you know. Although they did throw out a lady who kept standing up and dancing. Hmm yeah, the people behind her were complaining and I didn't want to get involved. I'm like dancing, I'm not throwing her out, but they did.
Lou:I was never a big fan of Tina's voice so much, but she was an amazing dynamic performer. The woman had so much energy. I liked her voice.
Scott:Yeah, I liked her voice. I didn't love it. It was like depends on what she was singing, like tiny dancer, not tiny dance, private dancer, right.
Mark:Yeah.
Speaker 3:She has that very sultry type voice in that song.
Scott:Yeah, but when she's screaming, she's just screaming.
Speaker 3:But she screams good she screams good, yeah, yeah.
Scott:And she looked good right up to another one that looked good.
Mark:Oh yeah.
Scott:I didn't think she was that pretty, that body was smoking. But I didn't think she was that. Yeah, I didn't think she was gorgeous.
Lou:She's nice stems.
Scott:Yeah, yeah.
Lou:Nice gams.
Scott:Yeah, did you say Tina Turner, was that you?
Mark:Yes.
Scott:Yeah, I don't know why I'm not paying attention to it.
Speaker 3:It's me, I bore him, I'm boring he's ignoring me, he threw it off he threw it off this actor this was a surprise, he was my age.
Scott:He was my age Lance Reddick from the Wire. He played the Lieutenant in the Wire and then he was in Oz. He played the prison warden, I think, in Oz.
Speaker 3:Two of the greatest HBO series Yep Yep.
Scott:Oz didn't age well though. Yeah, I tried to watch it again. It was a little I was like for its time it was kind of unique, but it didn't really age well. But when it was on it was pretty groundbreaking. He was also the concierge at John Wick At the hotel there, yeah.
Mark:The hotel.
Scott:I forget the name of it, but he was the concierge there. He was, yeah, he was the concierge.
Speaker 3:There's a new offshoot series. I think I'm powering on plus, that hotel name is the name of the series.
Scott:Yeah, yeah, I haven't heard much about it, so not really, I don't hear any buzz about it.
Speaker 3:I think Keanu out of John Wick, the reason people, I mean you know yeah.
Lou:Yeah, it's this way, lou back to you, look back at it here and go yeah, the little Bogeyheads, they're coming to take me away. Ho, ho, ho, to the funny oh.

Lou:And the flip side was it backwards. Brilliant, brilliant. Does Dave Phillips kick in the 45s? Having that one.
Scott:Where is Dave? I'm sure he does.
Lou:Dave's not here, man, it's time. It's time, it's bedtime. It's almost nine o'clock.

Mark:Poor guy.
Speaker 3:Punched in the face at least once in episode the real. The real F you to him was the episode where he had to go opposite Tom Tom Selick, and Tom Selick's character was getting treated like royalty and he's getting kicked to the ground. In every scene he's jumping out of the car.
Scott:Yeah, yeah, so back in April. So this guy is a, he is a, I would say, a baby boomer icon, al Jaffe.

Scott:He was very good at doing spin-offs.
Lou:Yeah, yes, successful spin-offs yeah.
Scott:He knew what characters would sell.
Speaker 3:And I feel like, aside from a couple other sitcoms in the 80s, those were the last sitcoms in which you saw middle class or even lower class, like the Honeymooners, all in the Family, good Times. These people were not rich. It became all of a sudden all the sitcoms became everyone has that huge house and the kids are crying about they can't have a sweater for school or something the Jeffessons were rich. Yeah.

Speaker 3:Yeah Right, not way to age I didn't watch that series too much because when I was young all in the family had the slapstick so I loved it. But Arthur was too deep for me. I was seven years old, so I'm like, ah, this is boring, but years later what. Yeah, more. I said Arthur, more.
Mark:Yeah.
Speaker 3:It just didn't. When you're seven years old, certain shows just don't appeal to you, like I grew up thinking that only the first few seasons of MASH were good, because the last half was too serious. When I got older I'm like oh no, no, those later ones were good, they just. When you're seven, you see it through different eyes.
Scott:Honeycut was never as good as as what's his name.
Lou:The Trapper, trapper, trapper, wayne Rogers yeah, he was never as good as Trapper John.
Scott:That's when the show was really at its best.
Lou:Yeah, yeah, it was.
Scott:Frank Burns in. You know he, and once he left what's his name?
Lou:Charles Everson Winchester.
Scott:Yeah, winchester. Winchester was good, but you saw the same type of character that they put in there. You know that, that uptight and it was. It was good, but it was. It was never at its best after.
Speaker 3:The episode with Winchester for me, because he was so uptight and stuffy. He was the one where he got addicted to the uppers. That was the one that like. He was like hey, remember that one? No, yeah, he was. He was trying to stay awake so he was taking uppers and it just over. He almost overdosed on him or something. I was like, wow, winchester is normal.
Scott:You remember the last episode.
Speaker 3:Oh God, I just saw it. It was on a couple of weeks ago.
Scott:You watched the whole. Thing.
Speaker 3:It still makes me cry.

Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, he wanted to go out royalty, and there was no seat for him, nope, so he went out and he was the last one to leave the camp. Actually, no, bj. Bj Honeycutt was because, remember, he said goodbye to Hawkeye and then he put the goodbye with the stones.
Scott:Oh, that's right, that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so I think then, uh, uh, winchester was right before that. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Winchester was in the back of the train of people leaving. Yeah, All together.
Scott:In a dump truck, yeah.
Lou:Win Rogers quit because he thought the Hawkeye character was getting all the lines. It was supposed to be a co-starring thing initially, but just like the movie, Just like the movie.

Scott:Ironman on.
Mark:Cool Ironman off, there you go. Are we going to talk about albums?
Scott:We are, we're going to go through songs, because I got a bunch of albums that I like they were released in 2023. I thought there was nothing I liked and then I realized there's a ton of albums that I could have.
Speaker 3:I'm going to fuck that one up.
Lou:I don't even remember making that one of the options, but okay.
Speaker 3:Oh, the drummer fucks up. No, really, oh, I don't have any albums.
Scott:I don't have any albums. I don't have any albums. I don't have any albums. I don't have any albums.
Speaker 3:I don't have any albums. I don't have any albums.
Scott:No, I don't have any albums. I didn't. I didn't. If I had said that, I forgot, I said that.
Speaker 3:But you did, you did. I have the text to prove it. No, I believe you, that was all my research albums because I thought we're a music show. You know, and you know, I did the songs with the best endings.
Scott:Yes, that was the list that I put up Songs with the best ending. Since it's the end of the year. Friend of mine, dave Rios, listens to the show said hey, why don't you do something like you always did song openings, intros, endings of songs, best endings. I get the text to prove it. No, you texted me.
Lou:I read it before we start. It didn't say anything. What did it say about albums?
Speaker 3:It said I came up with like 20 fucking albums.
Scott:Well, we can, we can, we can weave it in and out. Hey Lou, let's. I'm going to start off with a song with a great ending. Okay, probably it's the first song that popped into my head when, when, uh, my friend Dave Rios mentioned it, the first thing it popped into my head Detroit rock city, mm-hmm, car crash at the end. Yeah, that's right, the car crash. But they don't play that on the radio anymore. It's too sensitive people.
Speaker 3:No, they play it. I just heard it the other day.
Scott:I haven't heard it. I hear down Q104.
Speaker 3:I heard on Q104 in New York.
Scott:Well, good, I'm glad to still play in it then, because I know there was a thing about it's too violent.
Lou:That was your side, no, no, you know, you know why.
Speaker 3:Warns against the horrors of drinking and driving.
Lou:That's what they cut it because they're worried about people being distracted by it and losing control of their cars. We are that. We are that unself-aware of our surroundings.
Scott:Oh my god, what is that?
Mark:What is?
Scott:that.
Lou:I'm gonna go run into song or driving to someone's lawn now. Look, give me a song. One of my favorite song endings a Bodhisattva from Steely Dan oh.
Scott:How does it?
Lou:go. It says it's. They go down Rockhead, almost like a heavy metal ending, like a concert ending yeah it sounds like bluers to cult live, but it's got that kind of guitar but it just it is the most rock and roll ending that they ever did. Yeah you know it's. It's so unsteely, dan, like and like, and it's a great song anyway. Right, you guys know what a Bodhisattva is? No, it's, it's a hat. No, it's, it's not a fez, is a hooker.
Mark:It is a term funny fully enlightened being.
Lou:When you attain the full state of enlightenment, you're a Bodhisattva.
Scott:I am not. I am far from that.
Mark:I mean too, I don't want to be. I don't want to be exactly.
Scott:I'm not. I know you scrambling right now. Do you have a?
Speaker 3:I thought welcome to the machine when they're doing this great jam. And and then you hear the crowd Right, because why? You as the band, you're welcome to the machine, you're being escorted up to the party, you with all the assholes, yeah.
Scott:Um, maybe one of the greatest, most popular and greatest endings of a song ever a day in the life. Yeah, yeah, that giant crescendo, that big builder Yep, and you always try to time it, you always try to like and then it always hits you like. It took you how many times listen to the song to know exactly when it's just gonna Peek and then drop?
Lou:off. What a crescendo, I Think that is. There's three pianos.
Mark:Oh my god, yeah, and like there's like five guys, there's like ten hands on three pianos.
Lou:That's what they said, yeah yeah, it's, it's an e-major chord. Yeah, that's the very last chord, but it's just. Yeah, it's so cool if that song wasn't on Sergeant Pepper, sergeant Pepper would not be what it is.
Scott:I think you're right. I think that that has a. That that's yeah, so I'd say that's an iconic ending.
Speaker 3:Well, when in the video, in the video, you just see one set of hands sitting the piano in the video.
Lou:There's some film footage right.
Scott:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but yeah okay, I think that was perfect being facetious, I know you all right, mark, I'm gonna go with. Yeah, kind of like what Lou brought up with Bota staffer, the end of 21st century Skidzoid man. When it's, is it gonna end, is it gonna end? And you just keep hearing it just goes nuts. But if you keep the album on it goes into one of the most beautiful songs. I talked to the wind.
Scott:That's chaos, crimson, right yeah chaos, chaos just total chaos. The end on Abbey Road, when it just ends right in the middle of, like you know, they keep going and the story is they ran out of tape.
Mark:Wow they ran out of recording tape and that's exactly what happened.
Scott:Wow, but they kept playing. They didn't know that, that it stopped, and they were like you know what? Fucking keep it. Yeah sounds good.
Lou:Yeah, and we all got to do what they did.
Scott:There was a drum solo and yeah that's we guys trading off guitar licks and I think the engineer was like oh shit, they're gonna run out of tape. And he just didn't. They only either they didn't listen or something, but they just went off that was it Wow.
Lou:So that's how that.
Scott:That's how that got recorded.
Lou:There was so much accidental stuff, how they did what they did, technology like splicing tape. Yeah and we didn't know we can well look at Led Zeppelin.
Scott:A whole lot of love. The echo in the background. Yeah, that's another. That's another recording. That's from bleeding through it's from eating through.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's so hot, but the fucking good and and when that happened to me, I'd say I fucked up. Yeah, I got in a lot of trouble.
Lou:That would be a good segment. You know, like things that were made were mistakes that were left in, or like yeah, well, all right, let's.
Scott:Let's do that next show.
Lou:There's a lot. There's a fair amount of that stuff You're like yeah.
Scott:All right, make a note of that, lou, I will, and then remind me.
Speaker 3:Okay, let's remind you out on the tiles Led Zeppelin, when you hear stop. When he's doing the verses, then and then and then stop. They were telling Bonham when to stop and into the final.
Scott:Yeah, all right. Well, it sounds we can do a segment on that. Sure, sure, who's turn mark?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I just think an intense ending from a song that was intense and a guy even more intense was let's go crazy from Prince. That ending is astounding and when you turn it up you're just like in another world.
Scott:Drops off. Uh, how about, uh? I'd say, uh won't get fooled again, yeah.
Lou:Yeah, right, yep, and the lead up to that, that whole break.
Scott:So it seems like these songs that we're talking about all have great fucking intros too. Yes, mm-hmm, think about it right? Yeah, I'm looking at my list. I got 10, 11 songs, um, and they all have great fucking intros. Yeah, interesting.
Lou:What do you got, lou? Great intro and grand ending and tribute to my hero, the late Jim Gordon mark we covered, who died this year too, layla, ah, I mean, it's got a great opening riff that's iconic, but then that whole coda at the end yeah, that's just a whole wide outro that's exactly right and that's right.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and I loved it. But then when anyone, when good fellows came out, it made it even that much better.
Scott:Yes.
Mark:Yeah, yeah.
Lou:Yeah, the Cadillac Um Johnny roast beef and his wife.
Scott:Paradise city. Yeah, I mean, they just keep building and building and faster and faster and faster at the end, that's right. I mean it's how fast Can slash play the guitar. That's kind of what it seemed like it was building up to All right.
Lou:Who was the first? Who's the original drummer? Is this Steven Adler? Yeah, yeah what do you guys think of him as a drummer?
Scott:He was adequate. He was good for what they were. I like one of them yeah.
Lou:I like them. I mean I I think they fired him because they said he wasn't he was a heroin addict.
Scott:Yeah, who wasn't? They weren't. No, no, actual rose wasn't it? He wasn't.
Lou:I thought they're old junkies.
Mark:No you know what they did?
Speaker 3:the stone Crew, yeah they did the stone sling. They made it look like they were all doing drugs, but they didn't really. Oh, okay, okay.
Scott:Yeah, he was a junkie yeah.
Speaker 3:Ron Wood was really doing the shit, so they almost kicked him out. Because that? Yeah, because.
Lou:I I thought they fired him because of, like you know, he wasn't technically a great drummer.
Scott:I thought he had a great feel stopped being technically good when the junk got him. Yeah, yeah, I'll loop heart.
Lou:Heartbreaker. Let's help him.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah.
Lou:Oh yeah, yeah, it just ends and it goes right into living love and living love and made that's right, All right. Mark, are they technically two songs? But they're. They're not technically two songs, you know they lead into one of their two songs and when, when FM radio plays One of them and not the other, it pisses me off.
Scott:Everybody goes right into that immediate living loving.
Lou:It's a bad ending, the heartbreaker if that was just on its own really.
Speaker 3:Well, if you ever hear it done live, like on the BBC shows, they end it with Robert Plankone hot, he does that exactly like that live too, so yeah, Mark. I'm gonna stick with Zeppelin when the levy breaks just that. However a hail he did that guitar sound, you know yep, yep, yep Uh, highway to hell.
Scott:Great intro, great ending.
Lou:Yep, uh, luke uh, writers on the storm, that whole Jazzy build up, yeah, and the ending with it, with the, the thunder, which is probably an amplifier being shook. It's kind of a laid-back thing but I think it's a great ending.
Scott:Yeah, hold on one second.
Lou:It's got a jam ending that that album was panned when it came out. They're calling it cocktail jazz.
Scott:Yeah, it's a great album.
Lou:They didn't know they didn't do that album.
Speaker 3:Uh, one of the one of the most perfect songs rush recorded had a great concert ending, limelight where it goes, but um, I just think that's a great ending. Especially it's that's a studio ending too, really, yeah, and it's the last song on the album, so when you heard that ending, you heard it go, you know.
Scott:Uh, nancy Sinatra, these boots were made for walking.
Lou:How does that end?
Scott:Hey boots, stop walking.
Lou:It's a totally different part of the song.
Scott:Absolutely, it's a whole different beat.
Lou:It's a whole different thing. Yeah, boots, stop walking yeah that might be Jim Gordon on drones. Probably is. Probably was yeah, lou bridge over troubled water. Yeah, dumb Dumb, it's just epic, yeah, that's a. That's an amazing song, mark.
Speaker 3:Uh, I'm gonna go with comfortably numb, because that's one of the greatest guitar solos ever recorded. What a great outro as they fade out on david gilmore solo yeah, and it's the transformation of pink into the dictator or whatever. He and alice, because you see the movie, it's when he's being dragged down the hall and he's shedding his skin.
Scott:Yeah, um, I talked to jack today and he said uh yeah. One tree hill by you two. The ending.
Mark:Yes, yes, good ending yeah.
Lou:Lou Helter skelter, all things just deconstructing at that point and you know that's what people always said. And you know mccartney was there. He wrote silly love songs. That's the heaviest thing the Beatles ever did.
Scott:Oh, helped the skelter.
Lou:Yeah, you're kidding me, of course, yeah nothing close.
Speaker 3:No there's nothing heavier when they did that.
Scott:Nothing close to that. That was Radical for that.
Lou:Oh yeah, it was heavy. I mean it inspired the manson family.
Scott:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Uh, mark, we're gonna go with. Um. It's not my favorite song but I always thought that the way who's crying now by journey ends it's. It's on a guitar solo, just like comfortably numb and it's a good guitar song. You know it's a great fade out, kind of a low fade out.
Lou:My brother became a Journey fan recently. He saw some live clipping he goes. I liked him ever. Crazy he goes. He saw it was neil shun. I've got the song. What it was I might have anyway, but he goes, I'm a fan.
Speaker 3:Neal shun's a fucking monster and the new drummer they have. Well, not new, but the guy they have now he's oh, he's great yeah.
Scott:Uh, I'm gonna go with another you two song uh bullet the blue sky Into the yes, yes, yes, america, uh-huh Right, and then it goes what song comes after that, because I always know it from the cassette playing the cassette?
Speaker 3:Uh, I can't remember now. Yeah.
Lou:Oh Lou, I got you, I feel good. James brown, ah, that ending. You know, as a drummer, I'm scared every time I hear that song, because in my mind I'm playing in his band and I'm gonna fuck it up, he's gonna. He's gonna fire me and find me. It's just the timing of those things are so precise then then then Damn I just the way they build it up and it's so precise. But that was a hard gig to be a drummer for, no doubt.
Mark:If you just to beat your fuck. Yeah, yeah.
Scott:Uh, who do you got mark?
Speaker 3:I gotta go with a free bird. That's a great ending to a song and I'm talking about the live version, where they do the For like five minutes.
Scott:And uh, I'll, I'm gonna, I have one more. It's stay away to heaven.
Mark:Yeah, yeah you know, yeah.
Scott:Big build up and uh, and that's it for me. What do you got luke?
Lou:I mean, I mean to recreate, you know the little drum part it's.
Scott:It's really not. It's not easy to try to duplicate that stuff.
Lou:Right, well, maybe for a better drummer's, to make sure it probably is. But yeah, you know, it's just something where you know, and that's just a great ending that you people don't do now. And modern music, you know, no, it's just not that's what looks today. No, they don't. I think I'm gonna go with a good one.
Scott:No, it's just not that. It's what looks today.
Lou:No, they don't they don't.
Scott:And if they do, it doesn't get put out it's, it's. It's a whole different world now right. It's cycled back to around like the 70s with pop, pop music and bubblegum music. It's kind of like that They'll put out anything but nothing with really substance. Hopefully it starts to cycle back Um, what do you got mark?
Speaker 3:Uh, I guess for my last one I have to stick with my but my buddy zebra, the la la song, and if you don't know what I mean, listen to it. It just fades out on la la la la With randy doing an impossible solo. I know perry didn't like the lyrics.
Lou:It worked.
Speaker 3:Perry, perry, perry ripped that one I really ripped my favorite band, but he's allowed to. I respect him for that.
Lou:Where's?
Scott:the ai, then that's a good question. I know we're on youtube. I know we're on the right youtube channel.
Speaker 3:So the la la song's on this album, the first album, okay, yeah.
Scott:All right, Mark, give me five good albums that came out this year.
Speaker 3:Out of that list of 100. Rolling Stones, Hackney Diamonds. I think that at their age, putting out a pure rock album, they're not trying to catch on the latest trend like they did for years. They're 77 years old. They put out a fucking awesome album 80.
Lou:Yeah, 80. Yeah, yeah, it keeps just turning 80.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm going to go with a band called Riverside. They're out of Poland, they their guitar is still deed a few years back and they're still continuing it. They're very dark band but they're very good. What?
Scott:kind of music.
Speaker 3:They're called progressive. I consider them more hard rock metal, but they have that. You're just very dark, but they're not dark Like they don't make you want to go outside and get a gun. Their lyrics are actually very hopeful. You ever hear dark music, but it has hopeful lyrics. That's what I like. They're from Poland.
Scott:You know the total opposite of the Smiths Very hopeful music with dark lyrics. Yep, All right.
Speaker 3:I'm going to go with my favorite, Steve Wilson. He put out the Harmony Codex. He is getting. He is finally melded. He would either do a total progressive album or a total pop album and that would piss off his progressive fans. He finally this year put out a very mature, smart pop album with long songs and he got the both worlds together. It's a great album.
Scott:What's the name of the?
Speaker 3:album. It's called the Harmony Codex Harmony Codex. Well, I've highly advised it. It's on Spotify.
Scott:What's his background? What's his background?
Speaker 3:Porcupine Tree and he's the guy that remixed the Jethro Toll catalog. He remixed all these bands. We were talking about him. He's a big remixer so he, like Ian Anderson, entrusted him to remix all those albums. He did the King Crimson catalog, did Chicago too. So in addition to being a great artist on his own, he's like really updated. He's behind the scenes. All these old rockers, they trust him.
Mark:He's a really good guy.
Speaker 3:All right, this is kind of controversial. I liked you two songs to surrender. I have no problem revisiting old songs, maybe not each every of the performances worked out, but I enjoyed listening to it. It was just kind of a interesting spin on their old songs. I don't know what you thought of it.
Scott:Well, Echo and the Bunnyman did an album like that a few years back. That they did. They did a version of the killing moon, a piano version. It's fucking unbelievable and I'd probably say out of the whole album there was probably like five that they pulled off really well, those kind of reimagined songs. It's hard to reimagine a classic song.
Speaker 3:The problem is the fans have rightfully so have their image of that song in their mind. So all right. So, for instance, when Steve Wilson remixed Chicago too, he made a stipulation please keep the original mix in circulation, because I know not everybody will like it, even though the original sounded like shit. Those old Chicago albums sounded horrible. But there were people that said I hate what Steve Wilson does because it sounds good now they just have. You grew up with it, you were 18 when it came out or whatever.
Lou:So they're only the only stuff sounds pretty like AM radio crappy the drum sound.
Scott:Early episodes of milk race at turntables Not good.
Speaker 3:But the delivery you met music relish milk rates in turn.
Scott:Well, you guys went a step lower with the fuck oh.
Mark:Jesus.
Scott:Christ. These guys did a fucking podcast on, all three of them on the telephones for two hours Get the fuck You're better men than me. We're not. No, we're not, no, you're stupid.
Lou:Perry for Christmas, someone me as a CD of some of the early ones and I'm listening to going, oh my God, why am I doing it? I mean, you've covered this in our content is just, the execution was just. Is this atrocious?
Scott:It's just horrible, you know the most downloaded episode of milk rates in turntables. In a hundred and twenty episodes. It's one of the early ones. It's best guitar solos and for the fucking life of me, I have no idea why this thing has thousand of them, thousands and thousands of downloads. You know why?
Speaker 3:I don't know why you don't find it the most interesting, but there are a ton of people out there that want to hear about that quality of his.
Scott:I just don't like it. I thought it was good. Ok, thank you for that. But I look at other episodes. I'm like this was so much better, but hey you know the thing about.
Speaker 3:Perry was recently playing some of the phone clips on the show. The one thing I like about it is I love the sound of AM radio and we sound like AM radio and I almost I recommended it. I said why don't we try to get some kind of filter on our voices to make it sound like we're on?
Scott:AM radio.
Mark:That would be interesting.
Scott:I keep it like this, yeah, yeah, do the whole podcast like that.
Speaker 3:But as far as you two, I hate. I don't like when bands just try to re-record their songs exactly the same. It never sounds the same.
Scott:So they shouldn't really, so you're doing it to get the royalty, yeah.
Speaker 3:Like Journey when they first got that guy Arnold in the band. The first album was great, all originals. Then the second disc was re-recording the old hits. Why, you know? It's just like.
Scott:Well, that's a money grab. Yeah, that's a money grab, that's a. Steve Perry gets no more money because, he's not in the band anymore. Yeah, yeah, yeah, steve Perry. Yeah, what other album?
Speaker 3:Yes, put out Mirror to the Sky. I still say they're putting out relevant music, even though you know there's a split with the band. But Billy Sherwood is the de facto producer of that band now. He's doing a great job. And then Jethro Toll put out I can't pronounce it Rock Float. It sounds really good. He doesn't have the guitar player that used to be in the band, but it sounded. It sounds like a classic Toll album. If you like Toll, you'll like it. If you don't like Toll, don't listen to it. And then on, just as honorable mention, the real talented guy from Oasis, noel Gallagher, put out a new High Flying Birds album, the High Flying.
Speaker 3:Birds yeah, and Liam too. He put out an album.
Scott:Yep, and Liam is outselling Noel.
Mark:I'm pretty sure about that he's on fire man.
Speaker 3:Quick. Willie Nelson put out two albums this year his 73rd and 74th album. This fucking guy, he can't, he doesn't stop.
Scott:Yeah, yeah. Well, he's got nothing else than two. Yeah, you know, I mean, that's not a knock on him. I mean, what is? What is Willie going to do that he hasn't already done? So he'll sit around and just fucking keep writing music, which is good, he's writing songs, yeah Right, which is kind of like Bob Dylan.
Speaker 3:You may hate him, but he's writing songs.
Mark:They should tour together.
Scott:Yeah, oh, that would be the worst fucking duo in the history of music.
Mark:Willie, is you don't like, willie, if those two ever did a?
Scott:fucking duet that would be the worst fucking duet in the history of music. Bob Dylan and fucking Willie Nelson Interesting Sing, yeah, bob and Willie sing. Oh my God.
Mark:Hey Bob, hey Willie. The only thing worse than that is it could be fucking Yoko.
Speaker 3:Don't worry about the hurricane.
Scott:Yoko. Yoko decided that would be the only thing worse than those two.
Speaker 3:I want to hear Yoko and Axel Rose do a duet, jesus.
Lou:Oh, cats in a bag.
Scott:Yeah, right. Well, thank you, mark, for those albums that came out this year. It was nice throwing. We're going to move into top 10 singles this week. I decided to go at the end of a decade, top 10 singles this week in 1979. Hmm, yeah.

Lou:You never got that song. She means afternoon delight.
Mark:You know what that shit meant?
Lou:No, there's no, hiding this Once is never enough with a man like you. Don't look at me when you say that. What a compliment here. Really, I wasn't looking to mark you either.
Speaker 3:I'm looking at my other monitor here, yeah.
Scott:Anyway, moving on, oh like Lou, number five this week in 1979 on the singles charts, still by the Commodores. Before this week on the singles charts in 1979, send one your love. Stevie Wonder, number three this week in the singles charts in 1979, babe by Sticks. Oh, that's when they were at their best. That was 79. That was 79, yeah I thought it was like 76. Ah, right, yeah.
Speaker 3:That was. They were a good. They were a really good band in 76.
Scott:Yeah, number two this week on the singles charts in 1979. Another one you would think would be earlier in the 70s, but it's not. Please don't go by Casey and the Sunshine Band. They were still hitting in 79. Yeah. That was the end of it, though they didn't really the 80s weren't very good to them.
Lou:I saw some videos of him recently.
Scott:Oh dude, oh boy, oh boy Looks like.
Lou:Mike Reno.
Scott:Casey blocks out. Casey blocks out the Sunshine Band, that fucking band now.
Lou:He didn't sound bad, but I would never guess that was him.
Scott:Oh, he's just going through the motions. He's that, that, that.
Lou:I'm a boogie shoes, yeah.
Scott:And he's just kind of walking. He's walking his way.
Mark:It's all going to be careful now, wow.
Scott:He is, his moves are very limited now, very limited for safety reasons. The big fat sweaty bastard is out there still doing it and people are still going to see him. So good for him. Yes, absolutely.
Lou:Yeah.
Scott:Listen, I'm not knocking Casey. That dude has more talent, he did it.
Lou:He did it good too, oh yeah.
Scott:He made a lot of money off that type of music.
Lou:And those songs are so simple. I wonder if he did make a lot of money, though that's another what's that?
Scott:Did he make a lot? I wonder if he did make a lot of money on that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you know about the contract he signed. Yeah.
Lou:I think he wrote the stuff, but you never know he probably did.
Speaker 3:He probably did make a lot of money because he never did a re-recording, as I know, of his old hits, so he probably did make money.
Scott:Mark, are you choking on it?
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's very humid and warm up here tonight. My throat is.
Lou:Was that indoor block party you were at?
Scott:No no no, no, yeah, but it was Okay, all right. Number one this week in 1979, I fucking hate this song. I fucking hate this song.
Speaker 3:What song is that? I never heard that song, did I tell you that I fucking hate this song. I've never heard that song.
Scott:It's called Escape by Rupert Holmes. Fucking hate that song. Who knew that was the title of the song? People like that. Yeah, it's the Pina Colada song, that's. But you know that whole escape. It's such a. What do you hate about it? The whole premise of it is fucking stupid. I agree.
Speaker 3:Number one I agree, I agree, I too, but I mean, I don't hate it I fucking can't listen to that song.
Scott:If it comes on the radio and I turn it, that means I fucking hate it.
Lou:It's got a quirky rhythm from a music point. It's got a weird rhythm to it, but the thing is they're both looking for other people.
Scott:Yeah, they don't cheat on each other, and then they find each other and then they're like hey, you too. Oh, let's go back, we're good now All forgiven.
Lou:I'd kill it. We're good.
Mark:We're good. Yeah, we're good.
Speaker 3:Peanut Colada, a metaphor for, if you like, you know.
Lou:Like afternoon delight, yeah. Or like do that to me one more time.
Speaker 3:Peanut Colada me one more time yeah.
Lou:All right, hit me with your best shot.
Scott:Let's do the album shots from this week in 1979. And again, it's kind of interesting that we just got to top 10 and let's see how many match the top the albums, right, Right, right.
Scott:So, number 10 this week. This is a match. Number 10 this week in 1979 on the album shots Midnight Magic by the Commodores. Okay, they were in the top 10. Number nine this week in the album shots in 1979. Good album Damn the torpedoes, tom Petty and the hotbreakers. Great Number eight this week. It took me a long time to like this song. I hated it when it first came out. I didn't like it at all. I didn't get it. But number eight this week in the album shots Tusk, fleetwood Mac. Hmm, come here. I didn't get the song for it.
Lou:I didn't.
Scott:Oh, like I didn't, don't tell me that you love me. Ah, it just was, and I didn't like the video with the marching band, just didn't do anything for me. But as time went on I said you know what it's? An interesting song it is If you want to just listen to the beat and the kind of you know it was it's an interesting song.
Scott:Number seven this week on the album shots in 1979, wet by Barbara Streisand. So that's a match, right, mm? Hmm? Number six this week on the album shots in 1979, and through the outdoor it leads up.
Speaker 3:Yeah, my favorite.
Scott:Yeah, Let me see what's my favorite song off that album. It's um. In the evening yeah in the evening. Yeah, Me too. That's a great song. I'm split.
Lou:That's when I was in the Satan the double movie. What was?
Speaker 3:it called Lucifer Rising. Lucifer Rising the intro was his music from Lucifer the evening. And then my favorites are All my Love and Carousel, ember, those two, All my Love is yeah, that's a great song. That's a great song.
Scott:Yeah, fooling the rain is a great thing.
Lou:It's a lot.
Scott:Yeah, they're all good, they're just great songs off that album. They were. They were Led Zeppelin. Did Led Zeppelin ever really put out a bad album?
Speaker 3:No.
Scott:They didn't Think of that.
Speaker 3:I just thought that was their most original album. It was their most unique album. It was the most unique album.
Scott:Yeah absolutely, they got lighter. They kind of. You know the keyboards.
Lou:I mean I said Carousel Ember, that's a whole different song. That's a prog song. Even Fooling the Rain too, it's a shuffle.
Scott:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, great drumming.
Scott:Then they get into the whole.
Speaker 3:The whistle blows.
Scott:Yeah, yeah, and I've said it many times.
Speaker 3:If you can catch Bonham's isolated drum track from Fooling the Rain, you'll realize he's a fantastic.
Scott:Oh yeah, yeah, he's not just a basic drummer.
Mark:He's a virtuoso. You don't even hear it. You don't even really hear it, right? You don't hear that isolated track.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's interesting.
Lou:A lot of those shuffles like that. Well, jeff Prokaro from Toto took that song and the Purdy shuffle I've got from what's Silly Dancing. He created the Rosanna beat out of those two songs. Yeah, and you don't realize what they're doing. Like I said, the Rosanna beat when he isolated. I mean I can't play that. Right, I can get close, but it's just too weird.
Scott:Number five this week on the album charts. In 1979, bee Gees, greatest by the Bee Gees.
Speaker 3:Well, I wouldn't that be number nine.
Lou:Right? Does that cover the early years? Is that just a modern?
Scott:Probably the greatest hit so it was. There's a lot of hits. Maybe what New England was on there.
Speaker 3:I'm thinking it's only the 70s stuff.
Lou:Gotta get a message to you.
Scott:Yeah, our number four this week on the album charts in 1979, journey Through the Secret Life of Plants. Yeah, stevie Wonder, number three this week on the album charts in 1979. This is a match. Cornerstone by Styx.

Speaker 3:Wow, not the wall, wow yeah.
Scott:The Long Run. Well, the wall might have had a run earlier in the year.
Speaker 3:Or later. Oh wait, not later. Well, this is the end of the year, yeah.
Scott:So that might have been a summer thing. Yeah, yeah, you know, because for some reason I think that came out around the summertime. Yeah, I think.
Lou:I just started college and I remember that was playing that in the Zeppelin record.
Scott:Yeah, hey, mark, you know what time it is. What is it's time for?
Mark:Yeah.
Scott:What did you say?
Speaker 3:yay, hey, cool, I get a break oh should I do it like like this what?

Speaker 3:F you, you can't tell me what to do well, this is a woman that earned her money.
Scott:On this day in 2021, dr Dre's divorce was settled with. The rapper producer agreed to pay his ex-wife, nicole Plotzker young, $100 million Ouch, more than one fifth of the rap icon's fortune. He's made that money back since youngers required to move out of their Malibu beach house by the end of the month, but would keep a Rolls Royce, range Rover, escalade limousine in spite of motorcycle, as well as all of her jewelry. So he got all her jewelry. They were married from 96 to 2020. That was a sad day. On this day in 2015, lemmy lead vocalist and bassist who had died at his home in Los Angeles we died at home four days after his
Mark:70th birthday that was a rent control department.
Speaker 3:If you saw the documentary, wow, wow he didn't have any money. He was paying like 450 a month corner.
Scott:Yeah, it was rent control but he didn't have any money. He didn't. Did he have any money? Was he broke?
Speaker 3:he could hang out at the Rainbow Bar and Grill every day. He did till he up till he died. He would have a whiskey and whatever. But rent control doesn't mean it's not. You could be a lot, have a lot of money, but if you're in an apartment, control and you can't kick you out. Yeah, yeah and it was like right downtown near the Rainbow Bar and Grill, you could walk right, lived very.
Scott:You know he was a regular guy, mock. While I'm doing this to me favorite, look up what his net worth is. Lemmy yeah, yeah, yeah, I died four days after 70th birthday. If they're a short battle with extremely aggressive cancer, that's usually pancreatic cancer. Yeah, let me. Played in several rock groups in the 60s, including the rock and vickers, and worked as a roadie for Jimi Hendrix and the nice before joining space rock band Hawk Wind in 71, singing lead on their hit silver machine. Let's see, I have a quote for you at the time of his death.
Speaker 3:The estate of Motorhead frontman was estimated to be worth 8 million, however records which, in the scheme of things, it's a lot, but it's not a lot. However, records newly released by a London probate office suggests that Lemmy was only worth around six hundred and forty six thousand dollars at the time of his death wow well, that's crazy yeah, that's what was happening to the Motorhead money? You know they were not popular. Big album yeah yeah.
Scott:Yeah, I guess they were more of a kind of a cult following or they. You know, not a big, but they were Motorhead. I guess maybe Motorhead became more popular with people when Lemmy became popular. He was kind of a character of it in his own way oh yeah definitely you know it's funny.
Speaker 3:He wrote some songs for Ozzy Osbourne. He didn't get any money out of it, though. He wrote Mama and coming home, one of my favorite.
Lou:I was really, and he didn't get any money for that. That's a hit.
Speaker 3:Oh wait, wait, wait, no, no. Just after I moved to the state, sharon rang me up and said can you write four songs for me, maybe an offer I couldn't refuse. One of them was mama, I'm coming home. I made more money out of those four songs than I did in 15 years with Motorhead. He probably just was not good with his money that's a 650 thousand dollars right there, let's see.
Scott:On this day in 2011, sinead O'Connor announced the end of her marriage. Therapist Barry Harage never ever 16 days, o'connor admitted that they had made a mistake rushing into getting married. That was the Irish thing as fourth marriage. What?

Let's put I'll give Jack a little.
Speaker 3:I don't think to replace Jack. No, I don't think we replaced down different vibe and check different vibe.
Scott:I will say the worst jack where feedback was was really different at the beginning. People didn't really they couldn't really get it like they were so used to me and Jack like you guys. So it demanded. But then they kept listening and you guys got more comfortable with it and it just really started clicking and now you guys have your fans. You have your fan boys yeah yeah, jack, or Jack be back.
Scott:I don't think so. I want to be a fanboy again, not anytime soon, that's for sure, and he's just his job. He's got another promotion he's doing good, fantastic good, that's good so it's just kind of one of those things.
