Well, here we are, episode 130. Yeah, kicking off year 4 of the Milk Crate's Intern Tables podcast. No end in sight. And on this episode, me and the wrecking tube are going to kick off the new year by talking about 1970 in music and movies. 1970 was kind of a strange year. Was it still the 60s in that sense, or did it start to kind of turn the corner? We'll see. And with that, sit back, relax, enjoy 1970 all over again.
Mark:The KOFB Studio presents Milk Crate's Intern Tables, a music discussion podcast hosted by Scott McLean. Now let's talk music.
Scott:Enjoy the show. Thank you, amanda, for that wonderful introduction as usual. Oh, happy New Year. Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends. I'm so glad you could attend. Come inside, come inside. I never did that before. Hey, well, this is it. We're kicking off year 4 of the Milk Crate's Intern Tables podcast. That's crazy. That's crazy to me 130 episodes and no end in sight. No end in sight. So I usually don't say the name of the podcast, but I just did so. I'll move on from that. We're streaming live right now over Facebook, youtube, twitch, twitter, x. I got a change to see. I got so used to saying that, boom, then I have to change it to X and whatever other live ones we have. We're out there in the live streaming world right now. So, yeah, let me bring on. No, I'm not going to bring them on. As soon as I said that they get ready, they get ready. So I thought I'd kind of play a little game with them. Right now, let me bring on.
Lou:No time to yell, good evening. What's up blue, not much man. Ready to talk about some music and movies and such.
Scott:All right, well, let me bring on the other half of the wrecking to my better half, mark Smith.
Mark:Hello, how are you? Hey happy new year.
Scott:I don't like that, there we go. There we go, got to get the boxes set, I'm right. Happy new year to you too, buddy.
Mark:It looks like we're your shoulders, we're each.
Scott:Does? Does the intro to the intro, my part of the intro, sound a little different tonight? Did you notice, or do you not?
Lou:I got the like be a little more scrutinizing.
Mark:I was.
Scott:I was doing last minute show prep, so okay, no, I just thought it's sound when I was recording it earlier. It just doesn't didn't sound right, so it it.
Lou:It sounds a little, um, I'm not going to say it's not as loud, it does sound more evened out.
Scott:Right, you're right yeah.
Lou:The music, right, yeah, or the whole thing, or the whole thing, like you know, your intro and everything I mean. I don't think it doesn't seem lacking in any dynamic. Well, let me know, it seems the dynamics seem to be brought down a little bit.
Scott:Yeah, I noticed that. I don't know what the hell happened there.
Lou:It didn't sound bad at all though.
Scott:Okay, Well, that's all.
Mark:You do have a or you do have a mastering engineer in the house.
Scott:You could have asked me, but yeah, I heard your master and something else too.
Lou:Oh okay. As you worked on the docs came the master beta legend has it.
Scott:Ah, suzanne McPhail, my buddy. I love Suzanne. Good evening, suzanne. Uh, so yeah, let's uh. Hey, can I just say something right on the top?
Mark:right at top, before we go into the year.
Scott:Yeah.
Mark:Yeah, yesterday was a sad anniversary. Yesterday was the day that we lost both David Bowie and Jeff Beck to yeah, and two deaths that really affected me, bum me out, you know, especially David Bowie, because I still remember buying Blackstar, loving it. He's back in the next day.
Scott:He died, yeah, man you know, yeah Well, speaking of in Memorial, I'm wearing my my Bill Belichick 2002 gray hoodie. Uh, in memory of a former coach. He's moving on, moving on. It's going to be an interesting journey from this point on with the Patriots.
Mark:So hey, I'm a Jets fan. Well, I bet you're happy.
Scott:Well, I don't know. I wouldn't be that happy with that team.
Mark:I love them that they lose. That's probably the reason I like them. You know I'm a soccer fan, so yeah, so 1970.
Scott:Yeah, let's, uh, let's jump right into it. Beginning of the decade.
Lou:Yeah, yeah.
Scott:But it was still. That's why I said it at the beginning. So, was it still? Was it still like the sixties? Because we're going to talk about a lot of stuff that was going on in the late sixties. I think that's the the interesting part of of of a decade transition Especially that one. Yeah. Just because it turns into a new decade doesn't mean everything um everything changes.
Mark:There were still hippies in 1970.
Scott:Yeah, there were, there were. So on January 3rd 1970, x-pink Floyd frontman Sid Barrett released his first solo album.
Mark:the Madcap laughs Whomp, whomp, whomp whomp, I was never a fan either.
Lou:No, no, so I would, I would say, if he stayed in the band they just would have been another psychedelic man, absolutely.
Scott:Absolutely. I wasn't a big fan of that style that they were rolling with back then. Yeah, uh, the next day, january 4th 1970, the hood drummer Keith Moon fably runs over to chauffeur with his Bentley, trying to escape a mob outside of a pub. Jesus, the death is later ruled an accident. That was really crazy. That's crazy, yeah.
Mark:I didn't know about that.
Lou:Yeah, it's not. That's not a big, widely known story. I don't think.
Scott:No, you should read it, though it's kind of it was crazy. Yeah, so, uh, january 7th. Well, max Yeager, owner of the Bethel New York farm where the 1969 Woodstock Festival uh was held, is sued for $35,000 in property damage by neighboring farms.
Lou:Thanks, there's probably tons of garbage and human waste everywhere over there 35 grand back in 1970 wasn't a little bit of money, right? That's a half a million Right.
Scott:Probably. Yeah, yeah, damn Uh. On January 9th, led Zeppelin performs at the Royal Albert Hall, where John Bonham proceeds to play a 15 minute rendition of Moby Dick. Yes, jack would love that. Boom, boom, boom, boom At the Royal Albert Hall. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
Lou:At that point? I don't think. I think it was novel enough that you didn't go out for a beer or go to pee or anything like that. I think at that point you watched it?
Scott:Yeah.
Lou:You watched it after, maybe 10 years later, like okay.
Scott:But then you know I don't know 25, 30 years later, someone's going. I was there when he played a fucking 15 minute. Yes, Exactly, you know blew my mind. That kind of reminds me I saw a while back. I saw Credence Clearwater Revisited right, which was a phenomenal show. I bet. It really was. I mean, the guy, the lead singer sounded, you know, exactly like uh, uh, uh. What's the name? John uh. Fogarty, John Fogarty sounded like him the guy. There was a great show and so they go into.
Mark:uh, hey, allison good evening, Hi Tester.
Scott:Welcome to the show. Uh, they go into uh Suzy Q and they're playing, and I love that fucking song, right, um and about I don't know six minutes into it. Right, these, these, uh, two young girls in front of me, uh, hear the other one go. How long does this song go?
Lou:for.
Scott:And I said evidently you've never listened to Credence, bap, bop bop, bop, bop One of the best jams. Oh, yeah, hey listen great groove man, those guys, those guys could arguably be the greatest backup and like rhythm section uh ever they just had those two.
Lou:They're definitely up there, yeah, oh they're up there.
Scott:Yeah, that's right. I always say arguably, because you can't like say definitive, because it's it's all opinion, because Right, and Jack was he go, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What makes you say that?
Lou:But I would agree, arguably one of the tightest rhythm section. I mean, the thing is, you know, there there were singles. Credence were a singles man in a lot of ways and kind of a dance band, so that they grooved, but you know they were simple. That's the whole thing. You know Doug Clifford was not a, wasn't sliding all over the, you know deceptively, deceptively simple right, always, though, right.
Mark:And I think it's not easy to play his parts or sing those songs or sing
Lou:them High as keys man.
Scott:But they were good. Credence, clear water, revisited were good.
Lou:When you saw them with Elliot Easton on the cars playing with them.
Scott:No, no, no, I saw them back around 2010. Okay, so I don't think he was with them. Then Let me see. On January 14th 1970, diana Ross and the Supremes performed for the last time together at the Frontier Hotel in Las Vegas. And of an era there.
Lou:Yeah, yeah, power struggle yeah.
Scott:On January 16th 1970, john Lennon's London Art Gallery exhibit of lithographs, bag one, is shut down by Scotland Yard for displaying erotic lithographs.
Lou:Making Yoko lithographs.
Scott:I'd shut it down too.
Lou:Check this out. Today I was driving my work van back to the shop and I'm driving in the 35 mile zone and this Subaru pulls out, the license plate in the back says Yoko Ono and she starts going 55 miles an hour down there. I mean, you don't drive that speed on this road. I was like I wanted to catch me, take a picture of it to show you guys. Actually, and Yoko got away. I'm like Yoko wouldn't drive a Subaru in Asheville, because everyone has a Subaru in Asheville. But like, why is the license plate Yoko Ono?
Mark:The only one in North Carolina.
Scott:When she beat the horn, it went.
Lou:Couldn't resist. Can you Get out of the way? That's what I heard, okay.
Scott:On January 24th 1970, james Shep, shepherd of the Hotbeats and Shep in the Limelights, has found murdered in his car on the Long Island Expressway.
Lou:The LIE man.
Scott:Shep.
Lou:Shep is dead. Man Shep is dead. He was wait, so he was found dead in his car on the LI and Long.
Scott:Island Expressway On the Expressway. I hope he was murdered.
Lou:He was breaking out, he murdered Jesus, them fucking hitchhikers buddy. Wow, that's pretty cool.
Scott:They said don't pick up a hitchhiker. They picked up the wrong one.
Lou:There's a killer on the road.
Scott:Did you see that 80s movie, the Hitcher?
Lou:With Rutger Howe, yeah, and C Thomas Howe.
Scott:C Thomas Howe. That was a fucking good movie, dude. That was a good thriller man. Yeah, I might rewatch that. Rutger Howe was one of the like. He was just creep-fact at 10 when he wanted to be.
Lou:Yeah, did he die.
Scott:Yeah, yeah, he died a few years back. Did you see confessions?
Lou:of that.
Scott:He wasn't murdered, though, and found on the Long Island Expressway.
Lou:No, I'll tell you that. Did you see confessions of a dangerous mind?
Scott:I think I did. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lou:He plays an old assassin that's just kind of worried about he's getting old, he's got to retire. He's got to retire from that job. It was a great role for him.
Scott:Yeah, he was a good actor, good character.
Lou:Blade Runner.
Scott:Blade.
Lou:Runner yeah.
Scott:Classic. That was his classic. That was his opus. Right Magnum opus. Is that what they say? Let's see, january 26th 1970. I'm in a golf bunker. We released their final album together, bridge Over Troubled Waters Was that a kind of a, the name of that and the song was that kind of a hint.
Lou:Yeah, I'm at a four yeah.
Scott:The title track of the album stayed number one in the Billboard charts for six weeks and goes on to win a record six Grammys at the 13th annual Grammy Awards. Well, we know what's coming up later, right, Making record of the year, song of the year, album of the year. I'll tell you what if it wasn't for Art Garfunkel, that song would never have been anything.
Lou:Damn right. Yeah, the thing was he didn't want to sing it. He was just like, ah, no, no, no, no, no, no, simon was insisting. But yeah, simon says. Simon says Simple, simon says yeah, yeah, so that I think it deserves every Grammy at one.
Scott:Yeah, yeah. So let me see, in Britain it tops the album charts at regular intervals over the next two years and becomes the best selling album in Britain during the seventies.
Lou:Damn.
Scott:Wow, that's a cool fact yeah, yeah. On January 27th, miles Davis makes the final recording for his experimental album Circle in the Round, featuring Sista in Tabla, sista in Tabla, hmm. On January 28th 1970, the newly formed Band of Gypsies breaks up when guitarist Jimmy Hendrix walks out after playing just two songs, telling the audience I'm sorry, we just can't get it together.
Lou:That's cool. Wow, I don't like the band of gypsies. No, I didn't. It didn't, it didn't, it didn't, it didn't.
Mark:It didn't.
Lou:It didn't.
Mark:It didn't. It didn't.
Lou:It didn't.
Scott:I don't want to give you why you think that. Why, lou? Why didn't you think it, john?
Lou:I think Jimmy Hendrix is Jimmy Hendrix. He can't be. He's almost like a side man at times and he just that's just not him. I heard some live stuff by Bunny Miles, the drummer. He sang a lot and we played it at work and we're like I'm like something's off, really off key, and everyone was like wincing, like what, and it was him, yeah, yeah. But I just think the experience. I just think that power trio I love trios. I just think the excitement, the energy. I also think the songs. I think Hendrix was at his best as a short ripping, doing what he did in that genius level, extended level and shorter bursts. I think he was more of a pop genius than people realize and I think Prince definitely took many pages of his book out of that. But the experience I don't think the songs were strong, I just don't think it was as interesting. The experience had a gut punch. You know it was that kind of thing.
Mark:And.
Lou:Mitch Mitchell. I gotta say Mitch Mitchell is an under song, an unsung underrated drummer.
Scott:Oh, absolutely Not record. Yeah, that's for sure. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, yeah, he's never really mentioned, right? Nope, nope, it's never really mentioned in the dumb list.
Lou:Yeah, in drum geek YouTube. Sure he's like he's number six in the top 10. I did see a top 10 and he was like in the top 10 on somebody's list.
Scott:Yeah, drum and Geeks yeah.
Lou:I could song like Fire. I think the drums are just as interesting as a guitar, if not.
Scott:Oh, absolutely, that's some fast drumming right there it sounds good so cool. Yeah.
Lou:I mean, he was like Keith Moon with some focus.
Scott:Yeah, oh, that's a good way to put it.
Lou:Yeah. Yeah, he was more disciplined with the guy. I mean, he was not shy in that kid at all no, Mark.
Scott:Why do you think they were?
Mark:I think that Hendricks was really happy at that time and I like hearing it. The experience had run its course. He was tired of the singles. He was tired of being pushed to do what people expected him to do smash a guitar, pirate techniques, and this was deeply. It was a little bit R&B, a little bit jazz. He was going in a direction, miles Davis was going in and it's jamming. You know Now I don't include the Woodstock band, band of gypsy, whatever. That was called gypsy moon and rainbows or whatever. That was horrible, that band was horrible.
Scott:I didn't even know that. I never paid attention to that, yeah.
Mark:He was a mentally assembled band and he was like I had a conga through the whole. Show that what that you know he's just getting in the way, you know.
Mark:But band of gypsies to me was deeply personal in my opinion. And then you hear like cry of love that the last recordings he made it wasn't band of gypsies, but he was very, getting very personal. That's why I'm convinced, like if he had lived he would have gone into R&B. It wouldn't have been, you know, but again he just he got tired of doing the same thing over and over again, you know. So I like to hear an artist express themselves and be happy.
Scott:Yeah, Ah, let's see. February 11th 1970. February February I'm looking right at the spelling right now February. Don't you people start with me the film there we go again.
Mark:There we go again.
Scott:The film the Magic Christian. The Magic Christian starring Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr.
Mark:We have many of those now.
Scott:It's premiered in New York City. The film's soundtrack album, including Bad Fingers, come and Get it, written and produced by Paul McCartney, is released on Apple Records. I didn't know that movie existed, yeah.
Lou:I think yeah, and actually Bad Fingers. Second record is called Magic, christian Music and Come and Get it was a single off that record.
Mark:Oh, so it was written for a movie.
Lou:Wow, yep.
Mark:You know who produced.
Lou:Mal Evans is one of the producers and Tony Visconti produced that album. Tony Visconti, oh yeah.
Scott:February 13th, english band Black Sabbath released their self-titled debut album in the UK, credited as the first major album in the heavy metal genre.
Mark:What a game changer.
Scott:Absolutely was, is it?
Lou:the first heavy metal record.
Scott:Well, it's highly considered to be. I don't think there's anything that came out around that time that was anything even close to it.
Mark:You know what you could say, Like a lot of people say blue cheer or they'll say Jeff Beck group or Led Zeppelin 69, but it's not heavy metal, that's heavy metal is dark evil? Yeah Well, it's not about dark and evil.
Scott:I know it's, it's heavy, it's dark.
Lou:It's a sludging us to it.
Scott:So then then, since Steppenwolf coined the phrase heavy metal, right, and they were pretty, they were pretty heavy in their own right. Why weren't they considered? Why wasn't that considered heavy metal?
Lou:There were two light on their feet.
Scott:Mainly.
Lou:I wouldn't consider hush by deep purple heavy metal. Yeah, that's true.
Scott:No, but I'm saying Steppenwolf, you think they were?
Lou:No, I don't. I think they just came with something, I think they used it in a poetic sense and it caught on. They were like a hard rock they're the origins of hard rock.
Scott:But if they said, okay, they coined the term heavy metal, then it didn't have, it was just a term, it didn't have a genre yet.
Lou:So how do you get a?
Scott:name, before the before a genre exists.
Lou:Maybe just somehow the lyric just caught on somehow. And you know, I don't think even blacks out of probably didn't call themselves heavy metal, but how did the term? That is a good.
Scott:I like smoking, lightning, heavy metal thunder.
Lou:Right and it's widely considered.
Mark:That is where the term heavy metal came from yeah In the term but not the genre, and then a critic like that word, so he used it probably to describe black Sabbath and that's where it started.
Lou:So it's probably really a critic or I just think it might be like an artistic thing. We're like. You know. We heard black Sabbaths for record. It sounds metallic. If you could like, attach an element to it.
Mark:Metal is something you know, like molten metal or something, or they are from Birmingham, right.
Lou:There, you go Sheffield.
Mark:but part of head, part of true heavy metal is dark imagery and that the cover of that album scared the shit out of me. That creepy lady on it and and black Sabbath the song I mean it's, it's and they're having fun Like I used to think it was really evil when I was young, because I grew up in a very strict Christian environment and I realized they were having fun with that song. You know it's kind of hokey, but it's a seriously good riff.
Scott:Okay, so we just had a comment in from a lighted person for something. Hello, Sorry for bothering you. Well, you fucking bothering me, it's Perry. It's Perry, I'm sorry for promotion of your channel viewers, followers, views, chatbots etc. Trying to fucking sell me chatbots what? The price is lower than any competitor. The quality is guaranteed to be the best. Flexible and convenient order management panel, chat panel. Everything is at your hands Turn it on, turn it off. Customer.
Mark:Don't say the web Be yourself. Don't say the web link, because then you're advertising them.
Scott:How about go fuck yourself, you motherfucker?
Mark:Oh are we like off my channel. Are we sanitizing the show now? Are we like on the real radio terrestrial?
Lou:radio With all these new promotions we would be if we just take the bait here. Yeah, if we just flexible and convenient order management add block.

The grateful dead plays an equally historic concert on the same date at Fillmore East in New York City. Wow, great album. Yeah, the first one, not that grateful Dead. I think they're still playing that show as a matter of fact, aren't they? That's still going on.
Lou:It's a sort of outer space.
Mark:Some alien goo form is in my mind, in my mind, it's still going on Scott. It's still going on.
Scott:February 17th, Joni Mitchell announces that she is retiring from live performances following her show at London's Royal Alley Hall. She would be back performing concerts within a year. Why do they do that? I know.
Mark:Why do they do that? Do you know? Come on.
Lou:You know who got me the bad experience? Maybe?
Mark:You know who taught me that never to believe it was the who, when they did their final show in 82 or something and I taped it and I was like it's the final who show. And then I saw him three more times.
Scott:Yeah, you know, come on, they've all done it. Elton John's done it a couple times, he's more than one.
Lou:He's on drums yeah.
Scott:Let's see February 23rd. Ringo Starr appears on the television show Rowan and mine is laughing.
Lou:I don't know it was still on in 70. Yeah, yeah, they're like a socket to me.
Mark:Oldie Hawn is getting old.
Scott:Yeah, very interesting, nixon was on it.
Lou:Do you remember Nixon on it? Socket to me, socket to me. Yeah.
Scott:Well, it was a cultural phenomenon. Yeah, yes, it was. There was nothing like it before. No, no, judy. Judy Hawn didn't hurt the ratings. Goldie Hawn and the little bikini didn't hurt the ratings.
Lou:He did a Judy Hawn.
Scott:Yeah, that's right yeah.
Lou:She went on Burt Reynolds.
Scott:Yeah, she wasn't, she was. Yeah, lily Tomlin wasn't.
Mark:What are you talking about?
Scott:Yeah, one ring eating, two ring eating. And then she did Edith Ann in the giant rocking chair. That's all. That's right. Yeah, edith Ann, but you know something.
Lou:She was crazy, she was funny, oh, she was funny. The game was simple because she said she needed to eat. But, she didn't have the sex to sell? No, at least not, and he's not that kind of go-go variety which was the thing in the late 60s.
Scott:Yeah, yeah, let me see February 23rd Nope, already did that. February 27th Jefferson airplane is fined one thousand dollars for using profanity during a concert in Oklahoma City, oklahoma.
Mark:That's 1970 for you, oh boy. They better stop that profanity in Oklahoma.

Scott:I was in basic training, right, I was in basic training and I was on, uh, laundry duty, right, because it got us out of me and this other dude got us out of the dorm because the laundry was downstairs, right off the straight off the break area, right, which was this probably 20 by 20, uh, like, uh, 20 by 20, send a block, but it had the like the design so you could kind of see through it, right, uh, send a block like area, and had two phone booths and there was an entrance and you could go in there and smoke and, like you know, just kind of chill if they gave us a break or something, right. Then there was a building attached to that, like that was. The phone booths were up against this building, which was the laundry room. So in this guy, jeff Fortuno, jeff Fortuno from Louisiana, you know Fortuno, louisiana, right?
Scott:And um, so we're just kind of hanging out and we uh everybody's fucking underwear, whatever T shirts, and uh, I look around the corner and I see somebody behind the phone booths, right, and I'm like telling I go, fortuno, check this out. And there's this dude standing like behind. He's in between the phone booth and the building and I shit you not. The dude fucking dots out from behind the fucking phone booths and he stops and he does a fucking John Belushi in animal house when they're going to bring the horse in at night and he stops and he's jumping left, and right, right and he's looking around.
Scott:Now you got there's a fucking entrance, right, there's an opening here. But this fucking guy decides he's going to scale the way the wall like, instead of just running out and going around it. He fucking runs, hits the fucking wall, jumps up like fucking spider man and he's off. This dude is breaking out.
Lou:He's done.
Scott:So we're like I go, we got a runner, we got a runner right. So we fucking run upstairs and, like yo, yo and his T eyes name was size Shit. You know, his name was Sergeant Rambo, right, like yo, sergeant Rambo, sergeant Rambo.
Scott:You got a runner you got a runner and this dude is running through the field Fucking yeah. And so they're like we got to everything scrambles, everybody scrambles. They fucking locked the base down right Because this dude ain't going to escape. They finally get them. Like an hour later. They get the dude and they bring him back and they bring him into a room and they sit him in a fucking folding chair facing the wall, and the wall was a big American flag and they made him sit there for hours.
Scott:Psychops For hours, like so. They realize you know what they're going to do is they have to call the security police. And now you got this guy. He's not, he can't stick around anymore Right Now. He's a fucking liability, right, yeah. And I mean what they? While they were deciding what they were going to do with them, he just sat there in this room staring at an American flag. We'll show you, motherfucker, we'll show you. Had another dude in. Like day three we would have to. Our dorms were above the ground. They were like on these metal, these poles, right, because underneath, in case it rained, we could do our PT, and I was probably like I don't know, 14 feet high off the ground and you'd have to come down the flight of steps. Then kind of do that square off and then go down another flight of steps and it's like go, go, go, go. One more. This dude jumps from the fucking top step and just throws himself off it and takes this wicked fucking wipe out. Oh, get out. He fucking broke his ankle.
Mark:Oh man.
Scott:I just jumped Like I'm like what the fuck is going on what causes you to do that. Huh what causes you to get out. He didn't want to be there anymore. It was fucking stressful, dude.
Mark:Yeah, it's fucking. You have no idea, it's fucking the first four days is very fucking stressful.
Scott:Yeah, yeah, yeah, very stressful, like we. We lined up like we get in there the first night. We line up, right, and it's two bays. So you have one bay this is probably about I don't know 20 beds on each side and then the other. Then there's a big entrance like an opening. There's a wall that splits the bay, so you got another two rows of beds, right, yeah? And so we had to stand there. We're all standing there, attention, in front of whatever bed we grabbed, and everything's quiet, and all of a sudden you hear somebody in the other room, the TIs yelling at everybody, screaming, everybody in your. Someone in the other room says you ain't shit, we're like what the fuck? And he goes, what? It was? Just like full metal jacket. Who said that?
Lou:Who said?
Scott:that Next thing, you know, there's a fucking brawl. Oh no, oh shit, it's to a fight, right? You had a lock of slim and like what the fuck? Right? And then to fucking whoever said it, they get run out. You know the other TIs in it. They run them out and now everybody's like whoa this is like only the first night, right, because we got there at night.
Mark:Yeah.
Scott:And it was a long day and I don't know. Like a day and a half later, we're all lined up somewhere and someone goes hey, that TI over there Isn't that the guy that got thrown out the other night, Like it wasn't the dude snuck in with us. Oh wow, he snuck in with us to try and just this is a whole setup between him and my TI to scare the shit out of us. Well, mission accomplished, Wow.
Mark:Yeah.
Scott:It was like a Psyop, you know what I mean. Like a Psycon, like we were going to get their attention.
Lou:Yeah, it was insane. That's the first week you were there. That was in the first three days, the first three days, jesus Mission accomplished, yeah, yeah.
Scott:So that's my American flag and Patton story. So little big man, what?
Lou:a great fucking movie that was. I've never seen the whole thing. You've never really, I've seen it in the beginning. I think it's a long movie, isn't it?
Scott:It's a long movie but it's a great fucking story. Yeah, what a great story.
Lou:It's one of my streaming networks, yeah.
Scott:Yeah, you got to watch it. Take a Saturday, one day, and just fucking watch it have Saturday afternoon. Yeah, mark.
Mark:A movie that I was forbidden to watch because I grew up in a born-again Christian environment, but a movie that changed a lot of people's attitudes and launched what we have now on Discovery Network. Do you remember Chariots of the Gods? Chariots of the Gods, yeah. It was the idea that maybe there isn't a God, but aliens Like you know what? Human civilizations could not have done what they did. They definitely weren't smart enough. It had to be aliens that helped them. It was good I believe it no.
Mark:It was a good, yeah, it was a good to combat what people were force-fed by organized religion, you know. But yeah, interesting.
Scott:Perry Dedevich. The AI says Woodstock movie released 1970, triple-split screen.
Mark:Yeah, I agree with him, it's a problem for me, though. Yeah, yeah, I'm sitting here like whoa, whoa, whoa. Where do I go? Yeah?

Lou:Airport.
Scott:That's the second one in a row. You stole from me, mother.

Lou:That's Perry's helping me out. It's Perry.
Scott:It's all Perry today.
Lou:That's exactly it.
Mark:You did hurt his feelings, so he said I was full of shit.
Lou:Oh no, you hurt his feelings. I hurt his feelings. That's what I wanted to do. And he said I was full of shit.

Lou:I named the other movie. It might be 1970. I named the other movie that he was in in 1977. I named it Carnal Knowledge, the one with a lot of sex. I was just going to say that With Jack Nicholson and Candace Bergen.
Scott:Yeah, and he was also cast as the ugly guy.
Mark:He was, but the sex is hot, okay, he was the guy that didn't get any Carnal Knowledge.
Lou:Yeah, exactly that's right.
Mark:Because he was the ugly guy.
Lou:He played the uptight roommate or something. Jack Nicholson was a swingy guy, of course.
Scott:So Dean Farron says he's consistent, if anything.
Lou:Did you mention Jesus.
Scott:Christ Superstar, yet we're waiting for you I had to step away from the computer, you know you just did, dean.

Lou:dirty. By the way, it's a Frank Sinatra cowboy movie.
Mark:It's horrible, but it was fun to watch. Just watch Frank Sinatra as a cowboy. It's not what. Charles, what is his name?
Scott:Riley Chalcy something. See, riley, he was in everything. No, no, what's his name? The guy that plays a professor, a doctor, stephen Broul on a John.

Scott:Oh, that's right. Yeah, yeah, this is one of those this movie came with in our local theater in Winter Mass barf bags. This was one of those, like one of the last promotional items. Oh, tiffany, the beautiful Tiffany said I'm home from the hospital, I'm expecting to see you all still be Well, we, this, we don't do. We're still on podcasts we're still not done.
Mark:It's a show that never ends.
Scott:The Grateful Dead of podcasts. It's the show that never ends. Tiff, it's the show that never ends. This one came, like I said, one of those props like barf bags and you know band and X amount of countries.
Lou:Mark of the devil In 1700s Austria.
Scott:A witch hunters apprentice has doubts about his righteousness of witch hunting when he witnesses the brutality, the injustice, the falsehood, the torture and the arbitrary killing that go with the job. That's like the big scene in that movie is when they rip the dude's tongue out.
Mark:I never saw that movie Mark of the devil.
Scott:Yeah, all right, give me, give me one more Mark.
Mark:I'm going to go with hold on. Where is it? Give me shelter? Rolling Stones that was the movie and I barely remember it. I watched it on PBS, as I told Lou on the show last week. But I just ordered the Blu-ray and I'm going to watch it. But that was where you see Marty Bowen get knocked out and you fortunately I got killed. It's a dark movie.
Scott:Yeah, dean Farron, you should stick to retro porn, because I already said MASH, so go look up your porn list of retro porn movies.
Lou:I feel like a good retro porn, though there's less tango in Tampa.
Scott:That's tango in Tampa.
Lou:That's tango in Tijuana, all right, and Tampa I'm going to look, dean says okay, okay, I've seen them, they're hot, okay yeah.
Scott:All right, let's move on. Mark, you asked for it, you get it. What's that? You make the call? Yeah, time for you. Make the call. I'm going to give you guys two songs or two bands. Which one is better, which one do you like better? I'm going to start off with you. Make the call. Stevie Wonder Living for the City or Marvin Gaye in a City Blues. Living for the City, stevie Wonder, or in a City Blues, marvin Gaye.
Mark:I'm going to go with Stevie Wonder only because I like him. They're both equal, but Stevie Wonder edges out as my favorite, so I have one of my favorites. So I'm going to go with Living for the City.
Scott:Mark, I mean Luke.
Lou:I'm going to say the same thing.
Scott:I'm going to make it a flush because, yeah, that song is so fucking great. Yeah, if not just for the yeah, yeah. It's like three different songs in one. It goes in so many different directions. The lyrics are so yeah, not taking anything away from in a City Blues either. Not a second of anything from it. All right, you make the call the police version, every little thing, or walking on the moon, mark, no, I'm going to let Lou Lou you go first.
Mark:That's tough Every little thing I'm going to go with walking on the moon because it's a good bass jam.
Scott:I got to be the tiebreaker. I got to go walking on the moon, yeah.
Mark:It's a tough one, tough one, it is a tough one.
Lou:They're both amazing in their own way, I mean.
Scott:Well, that's why you make the call.
Mark:Yeah, you know what this is like picking one of your children. It's tough. Sophie's Choice, sophie's.
Scott:Choice Mark yes.
Lou:Okay, walking on the moon is the police that they're primitive but not primitive. Every little thing is the police as they evolved as a band. They're both so great and the drumming on both songs, yeah, the hi-hat, I'm walking on the moon. It was unusual at that time. Because it's going against the grain.
Scott:Good question, because you remember Lou giant steps on what you take walking on the moon, but I hope my leg don't break.
Lou:Is that the gravity issue? Walking on the moon.
Scott:Okay, you make the call. The who version Won't get fooled again, or Baba O'Reilly?
Mark:Mark, won't get fooled again. Baba O'Reilly. When I heard it it really got me going and it's great. I still love it, but won't get fooled again. It's an eight-minute song. As a prod guy, eight-minute songs are great, lou, and it's got that. Yeah, you know.
Lou:Yes, I agree.
Mark:Won't get fooled again.
Lou:It's an epic. The whole break, the whole keyboard break, whatever it is. Was that a synthesizer he was playing or some kind of early sequencer, arp?
Mark:ARP because a synthesizer.
Lou:Is it an ARP? Yeah, that time they were using it, keith Moon was using headphones, which is pretty innovative for him anyway, because the guy had no sense of tempo. But I'm, yeah, I think so.
Scott:I got to go with Baba O'Reilly, ooh.
Mark:Yeah, yeah, it's a tough one Both of them, yeah.
Scott:Yeah, you make the call Arrowsmith Edition Better album. Get your wings or toys in the attic, oh.
Lou:Lou, can I go first? I'm not an Aerosmith fan. I know some of toys in the attic so I'm just going with that. But I'm not an authority, not a good opinion.
Mark:God, yeah, I know both albums Yep Inside and out Yep and I love them both. But I really think that even though we got tired of sweet emotion on the classic rock radio, toys in the Attic had Uncle Salty, which is a fucking great song. Oh, you hear me calling too.
Scott:Yeah, that's such a dream. On version.
Mark:Toys in the Attic is a class like a big album from them with hits, but it's justified Like it's really a good album.
Scott:So I'm going to go with Toys in the Attic, I'm going to go with Get your Wings, because that version of Train Kepper Roland is fucking ultra.
Scott:Ultra classic. Okay, that forever that was my favorite Aerosmith song and just that. It's kind of a dark sound to that album. Yes, you know two totally different albums. See, that was the beauty of Aerosmith back in the day they did what like, or you two did what they did because they came first is each album sounded different. They didn't ever try to sound the same. Although you hear me calling was was Stephen Tyler trying to maybe reenact Dream On, get that ballad in there, the piano ballad, you know, and both great songs I think you hear me calling. Does it not get enough radio play? No, I don't think it gets enough credit.
Mark:I've never heard it on a radio, in fact never.
Scott:But you know, spaced Woman of the World, yeah, off of Get your Wings.
Mark:But then Toys in the Attic, round and round.
Scott:Yeah, yeah, yeah, round and round. That's heavy man, but.
Mark:Get your Wings for a second album. What a fucking second album.
Scott:That is to me is like I'm a big second album guy, as we know.
Mark:I think, Get your Wings is equal to Led Zeppelin too. As far as a second album, Great great albums?
Lou:Were the songs in those early albums? Were they all band compositions? They did some covers, I'm sure, but was it.
Scott:I don't think they did any covers on those Big 10 inch big 10 inch. And Train Kept a Rolling was a cover and Train Kept a Rolling. Yeah.
Mark:Other than that Was it.
Lou:But as far as talking around, in credit was it Steve Tyler and Joe Perry. Yeah, for the most part, mostly yeah.
Scott:The Toxic Twins Yep, yep. Bands. This one might be a little easier than the other choices. You make the call Bands Edition, b-52s or Devo Lou.
Lou:B-52s.
Mark:Mark Devo. Ah, you know why. I say, devo started really early and they were Devo really early on. They formed really early, they were groundbreaking, yeah, although. B-52, two groundbreaking bands, really.
Scott:And Devo remember family band. Yeah, that's right.
Lou:Two sets of brothers, mother's Bar and the Casal brothers. Yeah, yeah.
Scott:And you guys missed it. Yes, we did Music relish.
Lou:Feel free to email us, Scott Corrections and suggestions Check YouTube.
Scott:I drop my comments there.
Mark:Just stop picking on Perry.
Scott:Right, right, right Freeze. Dave Phillips, King of the 45, says Good night boys. I hung in till 9.44. Look at him.
Mark:I know how it feels. I have to get up in a couple of hours too.
Scott:Well, we do it on Thursday night because you wanted it on Thursday night. I know Cool, I don't need sleep. Well, we're almost done with this section.
Mark:No, I'm joking. I'm joking, scott. I didn't bro a brother. I didn't mean to get you know. I mean I'm just joking, come on, you know.
Scott:All right, here we go, last one.
Lou:We never solved the question. Oh yeah, I'm gonna go with.
Scott:B-52s.
Mark:Yeah, I'll break the tie.
Scott:I'm gonna go with the B-52s because they are America's greatest party band. Best party band. Yeah, I like Divo, don't get me wrong. I just think the B-52s give me back. My man is one of my favorite songs of all time Duh duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh they've also been around long time too.
Lou:They were like they were around long before REM on the Athens scene.
Scott:I saw them in 1980, I believe so in 1980, at Club Casino in Hampton Beach, new Hampshire. I was right at the stage and the stage was one of those kind of waist high.
Lou:Yeah, right, exactly, those are great, those are the best stages, man.
Scott:And it was literally a club it was, so it was like tables and the fucking waiters would come around and then there was like more seating in the back. It's not a small venue, but I got somehow the tickets got messed up with handing them off and the guy gave me one back. And here I am, right at the stage, as usual.
Mark:I didn't even have to think of it. Did Fred Schneider, sit on your shoulders?
Scott:Oh, no, no, Fred Schneider didn't.
Mark:I didn't say anything else.
Lou:If you see a painted side on the side of the road that says 16 miles to the love shack.
Mark:Scott's got a real comfortable neck.
Lou:Yeah, they're also a band that they survived the loss of a Ricky member, ricky Wills. Was it Wills, ricky Wilson? Ricky Wilson and the drummer took over the guitar chores, but that was a big shift considering how they sounded.
Scott:But you know, they evolved as a band Keyboard player from Smashing Pumpkins Wow, yeah, that was a thing. He's not like they didn't have a keyboard player. He was their tour keyboard player. Yeah you know, did with him. No, didn't he die of AIDS? He died of AIDS. Yeah, ricky Wilson died of AIDS. Yeah, died of AIDS. That's right. And finally you make the call solo edition Elton John or Billy Joel Lou.
Lou:Elton John.
Mark:Mark Elton John.
Scott:Yeah.
Mark:Even though Billy Joel was American and all this. Elton John just made more songs I liked, Okay.
Scott:Yeah. Every week I will have five.
Mark:I love it. You make the calls Cool. This is cool.
Scott:Yeah, they're hard. They start to get a little difficult. Yeah, they're hard, they're kind of like well, because I have to pick them right. And then I have to say I have to determine, and it's just on what I know, oh wait, like it's not like. Which song do you like better? And it could be like you know this one.
Mark:No, you have to take one.
Scott:You have to find something equal, like you have to find something that's of equal caliber.
Mark:And those two choices are hanging on ropes, falling off a building, and you have to pick one to survive. That's the. What did you pick with Elton John and I?
Scott:picked Elton John Okay.
Mark:Clean sweep yeah.
Scott:Yeah, yeah, I'm not a big. There's like five Billy Joel songs that I like Right Captain. Jack, probably being my favorite.
Mark:You know what's funny about Billy Joel? That's a great story.
Scott:It's a great fucking story. Yeah, it is.
Mark:It's a pressing story, love it though, billy Joel has one thing in common with Emerson Likom Palmer he was great to a point and he fell off. Emerson Likom Palmer made great albums to a point in 1973.
Scott:Every group of he fell off. Every group does that, and Billy Joel he blew his load.
Mark:He just couldn't do it after.
Scott:All over the piano, by the way.
Mark:Yeah.
Scott:Don't want that piano. This piano looked like loose couch after a while. All right, no sound effects, lou no sound All right A enough enough.
Lou:That's gross, I got that one. Not a nice show.
Mark:Penalty guy. I got that one from Fred, that's it. Oh good, cool, I got a P.
Lou:Penalty, some excuse? Yeah, god, that was beyond the pale man, it's going.
Scott:All right. So let's get rid of that. This show's gonna go. I ain't waiting for him. So we're into the top 20 anyway. So top 10 this week in 1970. Starting at number 10, baby, take me in your arms by, I would think, jefferson, jefferson Head, jefferson, starship Baby take me in your arms.
