Scott McLean
Remember that time we cranked up Van Halen's '1984' and felt like rock legends in our living room? We're bringing that energy to your ears as we reminisce about the defining tunes and flicks from that remarkable year. Even without Lou 'the professor' on board, we're keeping the vibe electric, discussing everything from RCA Records family tales to the King himself, Elvis. You won't want to miss the laughter and the occasional tear as we navigate the music-infused paths of our memories.

Strap in for a podcast episode that's as diverse as a '80s mixtape. We debate the music ban saga of Frankie Goes to Hollywood's "Relax" and how T-shirt slogans became the unlikely megaphones of pop culture. Then, it's a sharp turn into the poignancy of Marvin Gaye's legacy and my own brush with the high stakes of the Border Patrol exam. The stories are rich, the lessons unexpected, and who knew that music history could offer insight into law enforcement?

Let's roll up our sleeves and dig into the meaty debates of band lineups, chart-toppers, and those under-the-radar genius musicians who shaped the sound of an era. We laugh, we argue, we pay homage to the greats from George Benson to Squeeze, and tease each other's musical tastes with all the charm of a backstage band squabble. This is more than just a look back at 1984; it's a celebration of the tracks and tales that continue to echo through our lives.

Remember that time we cranked up Van Halen's '1984' and felt like rock legends in our living room? We're bringing that energy to your ears as we reminisce about the defining tunes and flicks from that remarkable year. Even without Lou 'the professor' on board, we're keeping the vibe electric, discussing everything from RCA Records family tales to the King himself, Elvis. You won't want to miss the laughter and the occasional tear as we navigate the music-infused paths of our memories.

Strap in for a podcast episode that's as diverse as a '80s mixtape. We debate the music ban saga of Frankie Goes to Hollywood's "Relax" and how T-shirt slogans became the unlikely megaphones of pop culture. Then, it's a sharp turn into the poignancy of Marvin Gaye's legacy and my own brush with the high stakes of the Border Patrol exam. The stories are rich, the lessons unexpected, and who knew that music history could offer insight into law enforcement?

Let's roll up our sleeves and dig into the meaty debates of band lineups, chart-toppers, and those under-the-radar genius musicians who shaped the sound of an era. We laugh, we argue, we pay homage to the greats from George Benson to Squeeze, and tease each other's musical tastes with all the charm of a backstage band squabble. This is more than just a look back at 1984; it's a celebration of the tracks and tales that continue to echo through our lives.

Anyway, on this episode we're going to be talking about the year 1984 in music and movies. That's a thing. Now We'll start inflicting some pop culture into this show. So sit back, relax and think about how old you were in 84. What were you listening to? What were you wearing? Right, I love the 80s. Enjoy the show.

I like watching these, these channels on YouTube where they talk about like bad endings for celebrities, right, and they're usually like 40 minutes long and they go through a number of celebrities. Well, paul Lind was was one of the people that this guy was talking about and evidently he was a motherfucker like off the set in real life and just wasn't a happy dude. He wanted difficult to do it.

Speaker 1:

Martin. Welcome in. Danny Basham. Sop, sop, sop, dude Sop. All right, so let's jump right into it. This is always good for the live streamers, but the podcast is a little bit. Listen to the podcast.

Speaker 1:

Oh, here we go, michael Jackson, oh, boy Ben. Oh that sucks.

Speaker 2:

I gotta go Mark.

Speaker 1:

I think Mark takes it. I got it.

Speaker 2:

That was a hit. That was the fucking number one. I thought about a fucking rat. I know I can test. This was stolen from me.

Speaker 1:

I think Ben was a hit. So let's match him up, I don't give a show the five stair steps.

Speaker 2:

That's a great song, it was.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

But so, but Ben was a hit. It was a hit, so was this, so was the OO child.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, what? What? Not by the five stair steps? Yes, it was.

Speaker 2:

No.

Speaker 1:

What was her? What's her name? That's saying it. There was a female singer that?

Speaker 2:

No, I think that's the original band. I think that's them, is it?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, oh, okay, I thought it was a female. Well, I don't know. You know what?

Speaker 3:

Well.

Speaker 1:

Marie Martin says Elvis Trump's everything, so that's not fair.

Speaker 3:

My sister just informed me that my mother worked for RCA Records. I did not know that. She worked for NBC too. She used to watch the Ajax Boers little poodle.

Speaker 2:

I can see defeat I can see defeat For the better for the better of the podcast.

Speaker 1:

Well, just just just think. Just know you had my fucking hand wouldn't win in a fucking. That's a consolation, but the fact that wait, I might.

Speaker 2:

My point of contention is of all the Michael Jackson, all the Motown songs. Mark picked it. You picked a song from Mark. That was a song about a frigging rat from the movie yeah but you, you called it, you did call it.

Speaker 1:

Okay, you did call. You said Ben I did right when. I said it, I should win for I should win for that.

Speaker 3:

Oh, come on, go, take your abs and then go, go, take a go suck on a lemon. All right, all right Taking the covers off.

Speaker 1:

Congratulations, Mark. Thank you. I'm taking the covers off Madonna and Huey Lewis, inserting them back into the deck, but I'm keeping the covers. You want to keep the covers right. You know, the third one can get my 45s back.

Speaker 3:

We should do it like double from each side. I'm going to get him back from my daughter. We should do that.

Speaker 1:

We can alternate each week, yeah or just.

Speaker 3:

I don't have as many as you, but maybe we could you know out of. That would be fun. I mean, I don't know, I don't have a lot like. I got a handful, yeah All right.

Speaker 1:

This. This third one is Atlantic Records coming out of the, coming out of the label. It's new shoes but it's not their hit. It's point of no return.

Speaker 2:

That was a hit. Actually, that was a hit.

Speaker 1:

I like dude, she was she's. She's a hotie, the lead singer of new shoes. I can't wait. She was an eighties hotie, beautiful blonde, blonde girl. Yeah, I don't remember new shoes. I can't wait.

Speaker 2:

What was the name spelled differently? It was like H H O E Z.

Speaker 1:

Yes, s H O O, like new. Yes H O O Z, I think, or something like that. I can't wait, okay, before we get, before we get into 1984. So I got a call today from a fan friend of mine. He's going on a road trip, right, he's got it. Oh fuck, this happened there. He's going on a road trip. He's going on a road trip and he needs albums. So, in other words, like he can go on Spotify and put on an album.

Speaker 1:

Now, I was going to let you guys know earlier, but I wanted to just catch you on like a cold, a cold call. So he wants a record from each one of us which will be, like you know, in his in a playlist type thing. So I recommended Nico Case Blacklist, right. So he said he doesn't like jazz but he wants to know what, like you guys would, if you're driving the South Carolina from, from Miami or from South Florida, it's, it's, I think it's like a day trip or something right, like I don't know, 15 hours, maybe less 12 hours. So give him an album that you would listen to on a road trip, mark.

Speaker 3:

I don't know if he likes hard rock metal.

Speaker 1:

Doesn't matter, he respects your opinion. Colin Appliance says Almond Brothers live at Fillmore East. Yeah, dave.

Speaker 2:

Rios yeah, I'm going to go with.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I'm going to call this the Rios Road Trip. What is it? Rios' Road Trip Records.

Speaker 3:

I'm going to go with. I'm going to think of all these 80s, like Queens Rite, because that's what I drive when I play. But I'm going to go with the Leonard Skinner Live, the one with. You know the big live album they put out. That's a great road album. If you get the expanded version with the, it's got almost a whole concert. Tell them to pull that one up on Spotify.

Speaker 1:

Leonard Skinner Live.

Speaker 3:

That's the one with the free bird on it, the version of free bird. And I can't believe I said that because I was going to say Queens Rite Empire, that's like great, but I'm just when you're driving, you know. So you've got two live albums.

Speaker 1:

My brother said live at the Fillmore East and you've got Leonard Skinner Live. Live albums are great for driving. I gave him Nico, case, blacklist and Lou.

Speaker 2:

I wouldn't call it a driving album, but it's the band's second record, the band. That's the band. The second record, the second record, and it's called the band. It's called the band, aka the Brown record. Oh, okay, it's steeped in the south. Okay, once you get South Carolina, whatever you're going, it's coming, all right.

Speaker 3:

My recommendation was a little underwhelming, it was a little plain, but I was just thinking, when you're driving, that's a hard driving album, but it's got good musicianship on it. It keeps you going, it keeps you awake, absolutely.

Speaker 1:

Well, he can listen to our D-Camp, and he asked for recommendations and we gave it to him. All right, let's move on. 1984 started. Let me see Recorded dance Love is a Su-Train. I don't know what the fuck that is. They started off without even a date, so I'm going to jump on that one. January 11th 1984, BBC radio, DJ Mike Reed. Radio one DJ Mike announces on air that he will not play the single Relax by Frankie Goes to Hollywood because of its suggestive lyrics. Fucking Brits are so conservative.

Speaker 3:

Didn't MTV ban the video too?

Speaker 1:

Yeah they banned the video Well, the original video because it was in the movie, the Sam Peckinpah movie Body Double and the track in there. When it was playing in there it was in this kind of SNM, maybe a gay bar, gay club or something, and it was really kind of weird. So they redid the video and they played it because it was a huge hit. The BBC places a total ban on the record at about the same time, which actually made it even bigger, yep.

Speaker 3:

And they were going to learn that.

Speaker 1:

Then I had the T-shirt, you know, frankie say relax. What a fucking marketing ploy. I mean, that was huge. That was just a plain white T-shirt, a black letter and say Frankie say relax, not says, not said Frankie say relax. It's fucking brilliant. Those shirts were everywhere.

Speaker 3:

They were everywhere you got a good song. It's starting to become a mod of set. You get banned by BBC. You get banned by MTV. You're going to have a major hit. You're going to have a major hit.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, they do a great, believe it or not believe it. So the record is Welcome to the Pleasure Dome right, fucking great album. That song, welcome to the Pleasure Dome, is a great song. Yeah, it's very smooth, very kind of nice vibe all the way through it. Now I want you to listen to it. And I know this sounds crazy, but Frankie goes to Hollywood does a fucking, pretty good fucking job at Born to Run. They do a cover of Born to Run on that album. That's bold. Yeah, that's fucking bold.

Speaker 2:

I never even heard they had done that. They weren't unknown, they were almost.

Speaker 1:

No, they weren't unknown.

Speaker 2:

That's for sure no, but that album I listened to Spotify best of 84 before we did tonight, and then a couple of songs in there and they were just in that genre of music. They were just as valid.

Speaker 1:

Two tribes, two tribes. Yeah, there's a big song.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you know, I'm surprised. I never heard Born to Run.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I don't know, I don't think the radio stations wanted because that's that's. That's like I said, that's very bold doing that and then putting it on a record, but I was, I was pretty impressed with it.

Speaker 3:

That's like when the cure did Purple Hayes. That was pretty tearing it up to this. Yes, yes.

Speaker 1:

So January 17th 1984. Let me see Sing Blue Silver Tour continues on Japan, onto Japan and North America as Durandurand my fucking brother. There we go, my brother, with this fucking. He used him and his friend of ours, joey Gallivan, aka Mocha. They used to fucking torment me. They I'd be fucking hanging with my friends and they would drive by and Mocha would hang out the window and go Simon LeBon and just always hit me, no matter where we were, he just yell out Simon LeBon. So I was like what the fuck?

Speaker 3:

Why was that? You were a big Durandurand fan.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, just the way I dressed. It was 80s, right, I had the fucking the 10 X in the hair and I had the pop collar.

Speaker 2:

The shirts, yeah, the fucking.

Speaker 1:

yeah, the whole. Thing. I had the shooed belt, I was, I was, I was down.

Speaker 3:

man Durandurand were the shit. They were great.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, but they were older than me you know my oldest brother and they just didn't get it. So I got to a man with the Simon LeBon label. For years, even as a grown man, I, when I saw Mocha, god rest his soul. He passed away. He would live, he first. He would say Simon, what's up, simon?

Speaker 3:

Fuck. Simon says shaking.

Speaker 1:

See my brother just comments in what's up, simon?

Speaker 1:

There, you go, let's see. Yeah, so that album, the whole album, welcome to the Pledge of Dome, the BBC. But it still was one of the biggest selling hits in the history of British music. Yeah, that thing was a monster. Yep, january 21st, relax reaches number one in the UK. So 18, 19, 25 days later, after they, or what was no, a week later, it goes to number one in the UK. Singles shot. Despite the BBC band, it was spent a total of 42 weeks in the top 40. Not a bad run, not a bad run at all. I saw them on. They did like breaking, making the band right, something on VH1. Oh, where are they now? Something was one of those. I think it was making the band and this guy used to go around and try to get these bands back together.

Speaker 1:

I've talked about this before and he tried to get you know, frankie goes to Hollywood back together. But Holly Johnson kind of said, yeah, yeah, yeah, and then he was a no show. He just that guy, became a total recluse after that. Just didn't really want to do it.

Speaker 2:

He probably made a boatload of money and still, was he the singer? I was going to ask you. He was the singer. Yeah, did he make a lot of money off his t-shirts?

Speaker 3:

Oh, I don't know.

Speaker 2:

Probably, that was probably. Is the band up a piece?

Speaker 1:

of that? Yeah, I know, but he wrote the song, I'm sure, so he still gets a writing credit every time it's played, right, yep. So on January 27th 1984, michael Jackson's scalp is burned during the filming of a Pepsi commercial. Remember how big news that was? Yeah, yeah, he's admitted to.

Speaker 3:

Let's stop right here. That's memories to me. I'm going to ask you a lot of other stuff.

Speaker 1:

We've talked about live shows right, we've talked about best live shows, et cetera. Why the fuck have we never mentioned probably one of the greatest stage shows consistently ever in the history of fucking music, rammstein? I should say Rammstein, there you go.

Speaker 3:

Rammstein. I've never seen what the stage shows.

Speaker 1:

Check out. Check them out. On videos, man, this dude. I saw one yesterday. He has a backpack on a fucking metal and you see him trudging up these steps from the back of the stage and there's a fucking hose attached to this thing and he stands up. He's on this giant platform and he's standing there in front of the mic and fucking flames shoot out like like they had to be fucking 12. Wow, it's fucking insane. The guitar player has a fucking flamethrower attached to his guitar. Check out Rammstein. Anybody listening. You've got to check out Rammstein videos on YouTube, you might. It's really industrial, right. It's very industrial.

Speaker 1:

But it's like heavy, heavy in their fucking great musicians.

Speaker 2:

And power techniques.

Speaker 1:

Oh, it's the show I mean. The show they put on is insane, but they never come to the States.

Speaker 2:

It's probably because of safety regulations about fire.

Speaker 1:

I don't know, but they check out their videos, man Rammstein.

Speaker 3:

That whole industrial scene from Germany. Some of it was really disturbing. There was a band I can't remember their name, but the cover showed a corpse of a baby half rotten, and the opening song is called Warm Leatherette and it was just very strange.

Speaker 1:

Isn't that black metal? Wasn't it black metal? No, this was industrial, industrial, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3:

And it all came out in the 80s because wax tracks got the licensing to a lot of those albums. But the German industrial scene disturbing, Very disturbing. I couldn't listen to it, for if he had to master he had to listen to the whole thing. It was like light compared to that.

Speaker 1:

Wow, that's pretty heavy.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, that's pretty heavy.

Speaker 1:

Dean Farron, this motherfucker, this motherfucker.

Speaker 2:

He's right though.

Speaker 1:

He's persistent, if he's. Anything Dean Farron comments in, was Jesus Christ Superstar released in 84? You asshole, what a fucking asshole. Mark Flynn commented in about YouTube, milk crates and turnbuckles.

Speaker 2:

The band takes a pause after the tour and only play a few special events together after this, until 2007, when they would organize a reunion tour. That was a great tour I don't think I wanted to see, like I don't know. They didn't come around here so I didn't travel to see them.

Speaker 3:

It was really good, because Andy Summers had a very much more crunchy guitar sound. I think he knew that this was never going to happen again, so he was a little different. Yeah good point Me and Tom. Wow, that was one of those shows where we lost it me and Tom pushing each other. Yeah, yeah, I know exactly what you're saying.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, let me see. On March 1st 1984, alice Cooper, who has not toured for his last two albums, pots ways with his longtime label, warner Brothers, and goes on hiatus from the music industry but begins mulling over plans for a comeback which he would carry out in 1986. Not much of a comeback. Not much of a comeback. Nope, Man's got to know his limitations. But he stayed out there. He stayed out, stayed out. Finally made it into the Rock Hall of Fame. You know that should be.

Speaker 3:

I have it, this photo shirt fucked up.

Speaker 1:

When I was testing for Border Patrol, I was going to do that before CBP and I took this test down in El Paso, right, I drove to El Paso and I stayed the night and I took this test Fucking hardest test I've ever taken in my life, this Border Patrol exam. It was fucking insanely hard. Right, they have a language that if you don't speak Spanish, they have a fake language, an artificial language. It's a mixture of Greek, latin and Spanish. It has, you know, it has feminites and masculine and you have to learn this thing. So they give you a study guide. So I took that test, man, and I went right to the literally the last, second right, last question, last second pencil's down right. So somehow passed that and I get to do the the board. Now I get to sit in front of a board and get questioned.

Speaker 1:

Unfortunately, I was stationed in Albuquerque and they had a station Border Patrol station in Albuquerque. So I just drive there and I didn't have to really travel. So I'm in there, I'm in the office and I'm waiting to see the board and this Border Patrol agent comes up to me and says you testing. I said, yeah, he goes. I'm going to give you one bit of advice Don't fucking change your mind. Don't fucking change your mind. That's what he said to me Interesting, and that's all he said. And he walked away. So I go in there and I sit down and it is the proverbial fucking. There, at a table a little higher, I'm in a fucking metal folding chair. I'm sitting in front of these three guys. One of them got this big fucking book in front of me and I said just you, just me. Yeah, this is an oral board now, right, interview.

Speaker 1:

But so they start reading these questions to me. They start putting me into scenarios. They talk to me and talk to me and they start putting me into scenarios. So one of the scenarios is okay, you're chasing some illegals that just crossed the border and they run onto some of they run onto private property. What do you do? And I said I chase them. You chase them, yeah, okay. So you get them there. They're held up. They hold up in a bind and there's a you don't know how many of that. And I said well, you call back. You can't call for backup. You're too far out of range. This is just you. What do you do? I said well, you know. And so you start. They start running you through this scenario and they know how to do it.

Speaker 1:

The guy says all of a sudden okay, so now the owner of the farm comes out and he does not like border patrol, they're always on his land. And he tells you get the fuck off my land. What do you do? I identify myself and I say you know, as soon as I'm done with this, I'll leave it. They're like he ain't listening, he's pissed, he's yelling at you, he's swearing at you. What do you do? I continue to do my job.

Speaker 1:

And they say okay, now the guy gets a. He gets a pitchfork and he starts coming down off his porch and he starts coming towards you. He's yelling, he's pissed. What do you do? So, well, I, uh, I draw my weapon and I tell him to stop right there. So you pull your weapon. Yeah, yeah, you're pulling your weapon on this guy. It's his property. You pull your weapon on this guy. Yeah, he has a deadly weapon. He's coming toward me, all right. Well, he doesn't listen. He's coming at you and he's, he's got that pitchfork and he's walking to you. What do you do? I shoot him. The guy goes what? I shoot him. You shoot a guy on his old land. Yeah, he was coming at me with a pitchfork. What am I supposed to do? But you shoot him, you kill him. I said I guess. I guess, all right, they go okay.

Speaker 1:

Now the kid's son comes out and sees you killed his father, you shot his father. Now he's out of his mind. He grabs a baseball bat, he starts coming off the porch. He's pissed. He's coming at you. What do you do? I warned him. Well, he ain't listening. What do you do? I shoot him. He's like whoa, whoa, whoa.

Speaker 1:

You shoot a father and son on their own land. Yes, sir, Right, Because I knew what they were doing. They wanted me to say oh well, maybe I won't. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, once you commit, you gotta commit. Moral of the story, mark.

Speaker 3:

I know, go with your initial fucking reaction, but I would have been wrong. Let's go crazy was a number one.

Speaker 1:

I'll tell you one of these days about a couple other scenarios that they run you through. It was fucking crazy man. It was like two hours. They grill you, they grill you. But I'll tell you. I'll tell you another time. It's pretty interesting. And I ended up getting the job and I turned them down and went to work for customs.

Speaker 2:

There was a Texas border guard.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, no, yeah, I was gonna. I said what do I want? To chase wetbacks through the desert for Fuckin' four in the morning.

Okay, you know, like whole lot of love did for me, like I still think that's one of the top best songs ever. Once I kind of heard it again, and driving it was and it always happens when, like, you just drive into work or something right, and all of a sudden you're like all right, I'll listen. You really start listening to the song. You're like I fucking forgot how really good the song is and all of a sudden it's like great again.

Speaker 3:

When you were young. When you were young, these songs are great in your bedroom or with the boom box, and then, when you get older, it's they only sound good in the car. Isn't that funny? It's like I can listen. That's even though I got this great setup here. I enjoy music more in the car.

Speaker 3:

Oh, I dredged something up. Bad, I'm sorry this is not good.

Speaker 1:

Uh, moeimine says sounds like a scene from the future. It was the one-armed man. It was the one-armed man. Todd Stockman mentions the Hoopty.

Let's see Also on December 8th 1984, cindy Lopper, or, as Jack calls her, cynthia it's what he calls me Calls me Cynthia Lopper. Uh Wopper with the fourth single from her 83 debut she's so unusual all through the night becomes the first woman in 26 year history of Billboard Hot 100 to have four singles from one album in the top five. And she is a total bitch. So I know that firsthand. Rocking a whole thing, no huh.

Speaker 2:

Rocking a whole thing. She's not right now. No.

Speaker 1:

December 9th 1984, the Jackson's conclude their victory tour, which was which was basically paid for by the Sullivan family to own the Patriots. They took a fucking beating. They took a beating on that tour with the last of six concerts at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. At the end of their final show, lead singer Michael Jackson surprises not only his fans but also his band members with the announcement that he would be permanently leaving the Jackson's.

Speaker 1:

Oh, what a selfish fucking asshole stating that this would be the last time they were all performed together. The tour was consistent. If you had said that at first, then the tour would have been a bigger success. You idiot. The tour, which consisted of 55 shows over five months, has reportedly grossed 75 million in a new industry record. As for the Jackson's, they would release one more album, so it grows 75 million. But the Sullivan family put a lot of money into it. I don't think they. They don't talk about that.

Speaker 2:

It's also Michael's way of saying fuck you.

It was poppy, so wild, let him fucking do what he wants.

Speaker 3:

Radioactive pissed a lot of people off.

Speaker 1:

Freely's comment formed in 1984.

Speaker 3:

That was huge. When that came out, it was like, yeah, he's back.

Speaker 1:

You know, formed in 1984 and became an instant fucking cult classic. I mean fucking instant gore, yeah, instant fucking cult classic. Yeah, I mean they came on the scene and there was a subculture that fucking followed them anywhere. I saw them a couple times, did you? Oh yeah, the whole goal of a gore show is to see how much blood you can get on you.

Speaker 1:

Like, if you leave it, I got friends that still have T-shirts from the fucking early 80s that have gore blood on them. Yeah oh, it was like a fucking badge of honor. Then we would go downtown drinking with fucking blood like fake blood on our shirt and shit. Fucking on your skin. It was like a red dye actually, oh yeah, oh.

Speaker 3:

when I was in high school there was a kid that said that's real blood. You know, I'm like yeah.

Speaker 1:

The best one is when they come out with the fucking milk, the giant milk cotton have you seen me? And then they fucking proceed to. It wasn't.

Speaker 3:

Oh, they didn't go any gore shows, oh no you dude.

Speaker 1:

it was a fucking experience. You get into that pit. It was fucking chaos in there, absolute fucking chaos. Hogan's Heroes was formed in 1984.

Speaker 2:

What Did he have? A camera.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, short lived no. Well hold on a second what they died faster than fucking Colonel Hogan. There's a band called Hogan's Heroes. Yeah, there was a band called Hogan. It was a punk band, I think Bruce Hornsby and the Ranger formed in 84. Good band yeah, yeah, it's just the way it is. Live from Pennsylvania. Oh yeah, they hit in the early 90s, but they were around for a while.

Speaker 2:

They're from York York Pennsylvania.

Speaker 1:

York, Pennsylvania. Yeah, they had a strange story. They broke up. I don't know what was going on, but they never really got back together again. But they were a good band. They were pretty consistent.

Speaker 3:

The singer kind of took over and won everything his way.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. My favorite song by them and it's a great fucking song. Lakini's Juice.

Speaker 2:

Yes.

Speaker 1:

That's a fucking. It's a good video too.

Speaker 2:

I think Toad the Wet Sprocket probably opened up for them, though, big Head Todd the Wet Sprocket.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, Big Head Todd the Wet Sprocket opened up. Let me see Living Color. They're in a, they're in a.

Speaker 3:

they're in a Great band, One of my favorites to this day.

Speaker 1:

They were big. They were big then. That was a great concert.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I saw the play at the theater.

Speaker 1:

Oasis. Oasis for them, but it was another Oasis Oasis not when you look at the thing. It was not the big band Oasis. There's some fucking things, not that Oasis. Yeah, the offspring, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3:

He ruined his voice.

Speaker 1:

He totally blew out his voice. The offspring does not get enough credit for setting off that whole fucking genre.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Music. Yeah, they really don't K-Rock and I was. I was fortunate to be in California when, like you know, gangsta rap broke out. You know as crazy as the story is behind why it did. But and then the thing, like I was in California at the right time to watch all this stuff evolve and offspring was really like the leader in all that type of music. They just never got off the ground and they never really got the credit they deserve. But you know, let's see who else formed in 1984? The power station, right, didn't we talk one? I liked that album. You know what I liked their version of Bang a Gong Me too. I really liked that version.

Speaker 3:

I like both versions. Who was the drummer?

Speaker 1:

One is like oh, that one's a car who who's the drummer in that band?

Speaker 3:

I can't remember.

Speaker 2:

Tony Thompson.

Speaker 3:

He made the band to me because his drumming was just great drumming.

Speaker 1:

Yeah yeah, great drumming. Yeah yeah, robert, he was also, and we're Robert. Yeah, we're Robert Palmer's elite singer.

Speaker 3:

He found a home with that band, like you know, like he was. It's a shame he died.

Speaker 1:

There's not many people. Who's smoother, who's smoother? This is a you make the call. We got that coming up next. But who was smoother? Robert Palmer or Brian Ferry? Brian Ferry, oh, brian Ferry, robert Palmer was pretty fucking smooth, he was smooth I know, he was smooth, he was also he was a little. Brian Ferry was kind of more. He was more glamorous.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, brian Ferry is like a warm spiced wine at Christmas, wow, and Robert Palmer's more like a whiskey. He was smooth, but always the fucking tie, always the suit.

Speaker 2:

Never got a glam like whiskey and cigarettes.

Speaker 1:

Hey listen, robert Palmer never had the fucking patch over his eye. And the glam rock?

Speaker 2:

thing yeah.

Speaker 1:

Robert Palmer was fucking smooth from the beginning. Yeah, he was. Yeah, like he just nobody was doing that. Nobody was coming out in the eight with wearing the fucking suit and the tie. It's just always looking fucking right.

Speaker 2:

Even before that, his like early 70s stuff sneaking Sally through the alley yeah, he was definitely like a soul.

Speaker 1:

A blue-eyed soul thing. Blue-eyed soul, yeah, before that I remember.

Speaker 2:

I remember he had a hit. He had like a new wave hitting your ladies. Johnny's always running.

Speaker 3:

Oh yeah.

Speaker 2:

John Face and certainty, johnny and someone else.

Speaker 3:

Sally.

Speaker 2:

Sally, they were like the precursor to a bad case of loving you.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, he does a great cover of. I didn't mean to turn you on yes, yeah, that's a lot of good. I tried, I explained that to my wife I said it's so rare that this guy, a guy, does a remake of a girl's song, a girl's singer's song.

Speaker 1:

And that motherfucker just did it. Smooth man. Yeah, I mean it's arguably better than well, just as good as I like the original, because I like that kind of music too. But he just took it to a different level and a different style. It was just fucking. I didn't mean to turn you on, it was a great fucking song. Yeah, my brother said at a good point, boss gags was pretty smooth but he wasn't as popular as the other two. No, but he's popular On another, like another kind of. He's got a couple songs from the late 70s, early 80s.

Speaker 3:

That will bring a tear to my eye. He's got some ballads that are just fucking Georgie, poor G.

Speaker 2:

Oh, that's a total song. That's right. That's right as far as my boss gags had silk degrees, which was a. That was a smash.

Speaker 3:

That was.

Speaker 2:

That was his big album.

Speaker 1:

And who backed him up on a total.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, he had that song we're we're alone, or now we're alone. It was made by Anita Baker, had a hit with that song.

Speaker 2:

It was a read, a coolage Diversion, okay, but his windows turn the way he sings it with our voice to Kermit, the frog voice.

Speaker 3:

It just brings a tear to your eye, holy shit.

Speaker 2:

Do you remember the, the Breaking Bad episode where Walter's trying to relate to Walter Jr about music and Walter's like, well, how about Steeley Dan like the great musicianship, and the kids like fuck you. And he's like boss gags. And then the scholar goes boss gags. Yeah, the kids just can't relate yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Also formed in 1984. I don't know how this guy does not get fucking credit for being one of the best bass players in the world. I don't know how. And Primus Tony Franklin, no, no.

Speaker 3:

What's his name? Less less.

Speaker 1:

Claypool. Oh, oh if you play as the bass like a like a fucking lead guitar, yeah.

Speaker 3:

And if you guys, if any of you guys, have Paramount plus, check out Getty Lee's show. Bassist have lives too, the first episode he hangs out with less Claypool. It's a fucking excellent episode he lives in the mountains.

Speaker 1:

Primus is a very. It's a different taste Like yeah it's a different taste of music. And I didn't like them for a while, right, yeah, I kind of got them in that category of like green remember green jelly and those bands, right. But then I started listening to them. I'd hear them on the radio. I'm like I'm going to listen to it. And then I started watching the videos. The fucking video is a great man, they're fucking great. Yeah, and that dude fucking wails on that bass. Oh, definitely.

Speaker 2:

I mean, how is?

Speaker 1:

he not just the shit he does, this the, the sounds, the speed that he plays it with.

Speaker 2:

I think he's the sub bass tones. There's like setting, as these amplifiers were it's bass and there's like those below bass.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, octavide, yeah, he does that, it's the high notes too.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, yeah Was it. Johnny was a race car driver, or something like that.

Speaker 3:

That's their first album, I think, or their first big album.

Speaker 2:

What was the big video they had? The video they had the big hit was like Winona's Brown Beaver. Is that the one? Yeah?

Speaker 1:

definitely.

Speaker 2:

It definitely rivaled and was better than say Peter Gabriel Sledgehammer, which is you know. That was like the reclamation thing, it's like there's shit flowing through open sewer pipes Right, right, that's right.

Speaker 1:

Screaming trees were formed in 1984.

Or MASH and Reapy, and you two are like the fucking guys in the balcony today Will Dorf and Statham Are a fuck you Lou. All right, here we go. Let's get to you make the call. Let's see, let me use it. You make the call, like that A little loud.

Speaker 3:

That was good.

Speaker 1:

You make the call.

Speaker 3:

That sounds like a shitty triple A baseball team with nobody in the stadium who does?

Speaker 1:

Number zero. I don't know what he plays.

Speaker 3:

I had a good Christmas. Would you like to hear about it?

Speaker 1:

All right, you make the call, lou. You make the call, here we go. Okay, I'm going to say fold around and fell in love, right, or I'm not in love. 10 CC. Filled around and fell in love and the audience can play along too.

Speaker 2:

I'm going against what I think is the better song For a song that I just love to air drum to. So I'm going to say, elvin Bishop, fold around and fell in love. Although I think I'm not in love, it's an amazing, brilliant song. I think it's a better song. I'm going with my gut. Although I think it's wrong but I'm standing by it, mark.

Speaker 3:

I'm not in love because that middle section encapsulates all young people's heartbroken people.

Speaker 1:

You know who that was. That was the secretary in the in the.

Speaker 3:

uh, at the record, Patricia, it's a magical song, and Lou pointed out to me that the vocals are the keyboards on that song.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I saw something the other day and I don't know if I saved it, but it was a video. There's no drums on it. There was a video there is. There's a boom, boom, boom like a harp.

Speaker 3:

It could be on a desk, though it could be anything it could be anything.

Speaker 1:

It's supposed to be a hobby. Yeah, how they mixed it. Yeah, it was fucking amazing how they mixed that song. It was very innovative. Yeah, how they did it. They broke it down and all the different sounds, yeah, you know. Then they brought in the ladies. She's the secretary at the recording studio. Boys don't cry. Yeah, boys don't cry. Just had her record that. Yeah, they put it all together and they did like 12 different layers of the yeah, and they put them all together.

Speaker 3:

How do you put together?

Speaker 1:

what so many young?

Speaker 3:

men have gone through, like it really encapsulated that, oh, this song is yeah, this song.

Speaker 1:

I have to go with. I'm not in love. Yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 2:

I think, I think, I do think it's a better song. No, even I. Just I'm for a visceral, visceral reaction. No, that's fine, there's no wrong answer here.

Speaker 1:

There's no wrong answer, yeah.

Speaker 2:

But I like the fact that those vocals like that was that song was on the other day and to sing along with that you need a lot of air. Yeah, I mean, I don't have a recorded by syllables, whatever. Like you heard about the Eagles recorded vocals syllable by syllable. Oh, steve Perry, they go. Ah, you know, for a minute and a half is no small feat, right, you know, it's amazing All right, mark.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you make the call. Okay, summer Breeze or sister golden hair.

Speaker 3:

Sister golden hair. That makes me feel good. That is just a wonderful song, just sunny. I think it's sunny Vermont. I hear that song, summer Breeze. Pretty good song, I know it is. But sister golden hair has a nice positive loop. I love.

Speaker 2:

America. They should be in the rock and the hole of fame. It's a shame they're not. I'm going with some of Breeze because I do like the whole vibe. I do like the whole vocal arrangement on summer. Breeze is amazing. Um, the whole the part when I come home from a hard days work, the whole break part and the eyes. The brothers did an amazing version two years.

Speaker 1:

They did Good car.

Speaker 3:

I forgot all about that I forgot about that. I forgot about that Good one. I love America. I mean.

Speaker 1:

Well, they can't have no wrong answer here.

Speaker 2:

No, no, sister golden hair I think there was her next to last number one single America had not. That's a tough one, but I summer Breeze, Me and Patricia on the same page.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I gotta go. I gotta go with summer breeze Cause, like I told you, the dude with the hat fucking held the door for me. He had a fucking a little cafe and Cape Cod.

Speaker 2:

I sealed that. That was Jim seals, jim seals, yeah.

Speaker 1:

He held the door for you. We were going in. I was probably I don't know like fucking 12 or something. I was with my father and his girlfriend and pulled over to this cafe off the side of the road and Cape Cod and we were walking in and he's, he got the hat on Fucking mustache right. The vid looking like Gallagher a little bit yeah yeah, yeah, he kind of did.

Speaker 2:

Yes, he did Looking like Gallagher.

Speaker 1:

Right, we're at the water, mountains and he held the door and we walked in and I looked at him and I just go and sit down and my father didn't know where the fuck he was, his girlfriend. And I said that's the guy from seals and Croft. And they were like what. Yeah, that's him Right. They must have played like in Cape Cod somewhere that weekend. Yeah, it was like it was. I think it was a Sunday. It was a Sunday, yeah.

Speaker 3:

You know that song. Maybe I'm crazy to say this, but summer breeze and um uh, uh Is this the golden here. No, no, no. Oh yeah, jf Murphy and salt was a Baker street. Those two songs have a haunting quality to them, probably because of how I heard them. But if you hear summer breeze, the opening notes in like an echo we echoing around the house to me it's like here in the Saxons Baker street. It brings back something.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, I don't think they were considered very cool back then.

Speaker 2:

The seals and Crofts were almost. They were almost like AM radio.

Speaker 1:

AM radio. They were AM gold yeah.

Speaker 2:

They were, they were. They were members of the Baha'i faith. They had a weird religion they belonged to. Like Baha'i, it's almost Islamic, but not radical.

Speaker 1:

I said miracles also.

Speaker 2:

I said miracles.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

All right um Lou, you make the call. 80s edition, tempted by squeeze. Or. Or here comes the rain again. Your rhythmics, tempted by the fruit of another, yeah, or here comes the rain again.

Speaker 2:

I think here comes the rain again is a more interesting song about how we're going to be tempted.

Speaker 1:

Good story, yeah, I mean it's a great thing.

Speaker 2:

I mean Paul Carrick. You know that journeyman rocker. The guy's been in everything, everything yeah, we talked about him. Squeeze, yeah, squeeze. As big as hit was the song by a guy that wasn't really a member of squeeze like. Squeeze Like yeah Rock.

Speaker 3:

When I was growing up my introduction to pop, like you know, perfect pop songs. Right, I heard black coffee in bed. I said that's a perfect pop song Tempted. Tempted is another perfect pop song. I go go with tempted, you don't have to think about it. It doesn't like here comes the rain is a great song, yeah Well heavier, so I like.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to go with. Here comes the rain, because I love the fucking opening. Yes, right, and it takes it, it sucks you right in, although tempted that the boom, then the keyboards, right away.

Speaker 3:

made squeeze, so great Right.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but I have to go with. Here comes the rain and I love squeeze, but Annie Lennox, just like her voice, is that?

Speaker 2:

she had a haunting voice in that.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

And it just had different, different levels.

Speaker 3:

That it was great video to yeah, great video.

Speaker 1:

I just think the song is just more. It's a fuller song to me.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Rhythmically. It's fucking beautiful. It's a beautiful song. Dave Stewart did an amazing job Fucking producing that one, he sure did.

Speaker 2:

All the stuff was like there were compositions, like yeah, the rhythmics, there were songs, there were.

Speaker 1:

Just two of them are very complex Very complex.

Speaker 2:

They're very complex. The whole intro like doon doon doon. It's very mysterious, but yeah, all right.

Speaker 1:

Cool call, let's see, mark. Yes, oh shit, here we go. You make the call Shade edition. Fucking love her, I do too.

Speaker 3:

But she's done the same song for 40 years. I don't know. Nah, I'm joking.

Speaker 1:

All I know is, like I said back in the day, if that cassette went in and I was with the girl it's in the car in the room, In all business then it wasn't only the cassette going in.

Speaker 3:

That was it.

Speaker 1:

Then I moved on to Anita Baker.

Speaker 3:

If Anita Baker came on, oh shit.

Speaker 1:

And then Al B Shaw was the closer. What did you?

Speaker 3:

play Like two seconds of each song oh.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, Well, you know, then we just laid laid around and listened to the rest of it.

Speaker 3:

Later on Talked about how great I was for the fucking 47 seconds.

Speaker 1:

All right, here we go. Swedish taboo or smooth operator.

Speaker 3:

Swedish taboo or smooth, I prefer that. It's got a little more into both Jazzy. You know me, I'm a jazz guy.

Speaker 2:

but taboo is yeah, yeah, meet me Boom boom, boom, boom, boom, boom boom boom, boom.

Speaker 1:

Did you?

Speaker 3:

feel like you were in a different country. When you heard it, you didn't feel like you were in your house.

Speaker 1:

Tell me, tell me now. But that smooth operator's got that. Oh yeah, haunting, another haunting loop.

Speaker 3:

A Swedish taboo. I think the vocal is sexier and even more involved. It's a little more intimate.

Speaker 2:

Like a smooth operator is good, but like a lot of it depends upon that hook Okay a. Swedish taboo is more of her. I think yeah, and I just yeah. Will you keep on loving me?

Speaker 1:

We got a clean sweep. Patty says smooth operator and I'll say smooth operator also. Let me see, okay, lou, 80s edition, talk, talk, it's my life.

Speaker 2:

It's my life.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

Who did the other cover of it's my Life? It's on talk, talk. There was a never hit, yeah.

Speaker 1:

What's your name From? No doubt Gwen Stefani, really, yeah.

Speaker 2:

She did a recent version.

Speaker 1:

She did a good version of it too.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

She did a very good job on that. Didn't fuck it up. Patty says outta touch.

Speaker 3:

Shit, this is tough. I really love outta touch, but I think I'm gonna go with talk talk. That was a special song. It just hits me in a certain way.

Speaker 1:

Like I died like a couple years ago. I think, yeah, a lead singer man I have to go with. It's my Life, it's just a big song. Touch is a big song too, yeah it's a great song, but it's my life just has a. I think it's got a better hook. It's just a kind of faster paced.

Speaker 3:

Do you know how songs bring back certain memories of youth? Oh, absolutely so. When I hear out of touch, I think of Stockton Street in Hillsdale and the bushes, the flower bushes outside, the smell coming in on a hot summer day and I was playing. I had my record player in that side room in the house. It's a great memory.

Speaker 2:

There you go. I was the big fan of 80s synth pop a lot of it but I thought that song was special when it came out. I think it's more of an intimate. Like Mark said, there's something more intimate, relatable, you know, out of touches, right, you know it's good. It's more universal. I think the talk talk version is a little more one-on-one.

Speaker 1:

The video too. Talk, talk, it's my life video. It's pretty interesting.

Speaker 2:

Doesn't really have to do with it, it's pretty good.

Speaker 1:

What did my brother say? Smooth operator, she kept her masses. She also got a big fuck. Like I said, probably the best record deal ever negotiated by an artist.

Speaker 3:

She does an album and a tour and she takes, does an album and a tour like what every 10 years and she sells out and she's got her life made, she's like it's awesome.

Speaker 1:

She didn't take any money up front, but she wanted like 20% on the tail end of everything. They sold. It's just like they were like yeah, okay, lady, but still.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, okay, lady.

Speaker 1:

She fucking just rolled out the barrel, rolled out the cash barrel. Yeah, all right, who's turn? Who is it? Lou, mark, mark.

Speaker 3:

Me.

Speaker 1:

Okay, what's his name? Oh, what the fuck's this guy's name? How come I didn't put his name there? Oh yeah, paul Young, paul Young edition, All right. You make the call Come back and stay. Come back and stay for good this time. Then I put the wrong fucking song there.

Speaker 2:

We went there to two Paul Youngs Wasn't there a Paul Young? And Mike and the Mechanics? No, that was Paul Young.

Speaker 3:

That was the Paul Young.

Speaker 2:

No, that was a different Paul Young.

Speaker 3:

Really.

Speaker 2:

The Paul Young that was the Mike and the Mechanics has died, but there were two guys. The guy Scott's talking about is more well known.

Speaker 1:

Every time you go, yeah, every time you go, that's the song I was gonna put Every time you go away or come back and stay Every time you go, which Darrell Hall is loving that fucking paycheck.

Speaker 2:

He wrote that. He wrote that right. Yeah, oh my God, they recorded it, it didn't go anywhere. What's going on?

Speaker 1:

They had an interview with him, he was like oh, I fucking love his version.

Speaker 3:

Sure, yeah, he goes, and I love the checks that come with it too, I think he said that, yeah, and I didn't like John Oates' version.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, what's going on with?

Speaker 3:

Hall.

Speaker 1:

I'm not following it, yeah.

Speaker 2:

It died. It died yeah.

Speaker 3:

I'm gonna go with. I think come back and stay has a haunting, another haunting melody. It just gets in my head, although every time you go away is just a masterpiece of 80s pop. Another one you know great. I saw him open for Genesis at Giant Stadium Okay, and it was the invisible touch tour, and he had just as many cheers as Genesis.

Speaker 1:

I mean yeah, yeah, yeah, he was popular, Paul Young. Nothing ever like. Everyone kind of liked him. Yeah, you couldn't really say anything bad about the guy, Right?

Speaker 3:

Good singer, great singer Lou.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'm gonna say come back and stay this time, if nothing else, for that great baseline. Yep, the friend of the bass player, Pino Paladino, who went on to play with Pete Townsend and the who.

Good fucking pick I'm going to take him.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 3:

Oh, fuck you.

Speaker 1:

Chris Robinson is not a bad frontman.

Speaker 2:

No, he's not.

Speaker 1:

He's not. As a matter of fact, he's probably the most active frontman in the other two. Well, I mean, he's pretty fucking active.

Speaker 3:

I look at his Maynard. He's a modern version of Peter Gabriel was in Genesis. Yeah, you watch him on live. He's crouching on the stage, got his hair cut different, you know but he can also jump to pop with that. What was this side band called A Perfect Circle. So he does a lot of different stuff. He's really good.

Speaker 1:

Oh, the bass player from there. What's her name? I forget her name. Fuck, I know her name A Perfect Circle. Yeah, perfect Circle. She's a. She is now the bass player for the Pixies. What the fuck is her name.

Speaker 1:

Look up, look up Perfect Circle, if you would like.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

What is her name? Um, these are the P. If you watch the video for Perfect Circle, judith, it's fucking great song, by the way, but watch the video. At one point she fucking, it's like such a girl, right. She's playing, she fucking jamming, and all of a sudden there's this little break where she takes her hair. She fucking spins it up, gets a fucking hair thing, puts it in, gets her hair up and goes right back to playing without missing a fucking beat.

Speaker 3:

Um current members.

Speaker 1:

No, the past members.

Speaker 3:

All right, so we got Mainier James, billy Howardell, james the Matt Mcjunkins, troy van Lewin Paz.

Speaker 1:

Paz Chen Lechenton. Yeah, paz Lechennan, yeah. Her fucking good bass player man.

Speaker 3:

I just remember when I first heard like K-Rock we had K-Rock in New York City and, like I said, they were at the top of the grunge thing and they said, oh, here's perfect circle mania. And first I expected to hear a tool stuff and I heard it's really poppy. No, it's good, good yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, really good three lebras, three, three lebras is a great fucking song and he needed to do that.

Speaker 3:

I mean, he's got so much to say, he can't say that with tool, so yeah yeah, go listen my Lou, if you've never heard them.

Speaker 1:

Three lebras and Judith, great fucking songs by perfect circle. They have a they from you know the original, that's the original incarnation of them.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I think I've heard about. I'll check it out.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, great fucking songs with Judith. I love the video for Judith. It's fucking heavy. All right, so mock, read off the bands. Okay, so Lou's got Phil Rudd.

Speaker 3:

Stop from the lead singer and go backwards, okay, so, so Lou's got Ian Asbury, andy Summers on guitar, kim deal on bass and Phil Rudd on drums.

Speaker 1:

It's an interesting like these are interesting combination.

Speaker 3:

That could work.

Speaker 2:

Andy Summers is the oddball out there because he is the Every now and then, pretty, pretty.

Speaker 1:

So that's the thing try to piece your band together like it was a better fit.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah in the future. Right, andy Summers could fit, he could make himself fit he could, he could.

Speaker 2:

He plays a lot of linear stuff. He's not, yeah, yeah, he's not, you know, but he could definitely do something there with pretty cool lineup, all right who do I get?

Speaker 3:

Okay. So you got a band. I think would work. You got manured on vocals, yeah, the edge. I think those two would mix. Yeah, very well. To get a Kim Gordon yes, she could definitely make, and Tony Thompson is a little bit of an outlier, but I think he's a professional. He could make it work.

Speaker 1:

He's a yeah, that's why I say he's like the cons of it. He's one of those cons of the drummers. He can fit a great drama can fit anywhere. Right yeah, lou, you agree. Yeah if you guys into that, versatile yeah they make it fit. Yes, right.

Speaker 2:

I'm for you. He passed away quite a few years ago.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

He was great. I mean he kept legs up and together when Phil Collins was messing up the beat on right yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, all right, mark, who's your band?

Speaker 3:

Okay, guys, you ever go the racetrack and watch the horses.

Speaker 1:

Right, all right.

Speaker 3:

So you know the Trotters right they go. You ever see a Trotter loser strutting and just go off.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's my band, that's my band, my foot, my three card 45, my 45 pocket tonight because total, fucking disaster.

Speaker 3:

I used to go to the metal and trace track and when we saw that Trotter going off, we me and my friend Kevin would always go. That was my horse. See, I'm everybody laughs. So I got Chris Robinson, neil Sean, esperanza Spalding and Chad Smith. I don't see that working.

Speaker 2:

I don't. I'm sorry.

Speaker 3:

They're all great musicians, but I think I'll hinge on this bronza Well Chris Robinson proved to me when he did what was his side band I forget the name of it.

Speaker 2:

There's the Chris Robinson Brotherhood. Yeah, that thing was totally unlike that was totally unlike. Blackro's black. Yeah, I like that. I think it's really good stuff and Neil Sean.

Speaker 3:

He can go Jazzy, he can do whatever he can do. He's a great musician, but I think at this point in his life he just wants to rip solos. That's what he's into, yeah, now he's always wanted to rip.

Speaker 1:

He might fall asleep on walk to the front of the stage like he always does. Always walks to the front of the stage look like he's having an orgasm.

Speaker 3:

But you know, chad Smith, I guess you know what Chad Smith, I don't want to under some. He is a really good no, he's a fucking good drummer, yeah hell yeah, I.

Speaker 1:

I listen to listen to the beats that he puts off, and he's the one that keeps that him and Flea on the band. Yeah, they can go through different guitar.

Speaker 3:

Did you, did you ever see that video of him? And will Farrell Done and draw?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, it's hilarious.

Speaker 2:

I read an interview I think was flee said that when Chad auditioned he walked in. They hated him right from the start. He didn't look right.

Speaker 1:

He was a, he was. I read. They said he was. Does it look like a rockstar?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, he doesn't. He did look like a chili pepper. They said he sat down to play and are like holy fucking shit. Yeah he's very confident. Yeah, from beat one, he nailed the whole thing.

Speaker 1:

I don't think your band is as bad as you think it is. I can see it. I can see it working. You know they're all great.

Speaker 3:

They're all great, but what it makes that we've all you know yeah, yeah, I think I win, I think I win that one. I was just gonna say that, sorry. His band looks great. Phil Rudd is the one. Phil Rudd, he's a great drummer, like we discussed this on the other, show that he's good at what he does, but he's on a virtue Also and he would just be doing that steady beat Scott. You got Tony Thompson and Kim Gordon. Yeah, that that's Manure an edge. I just edge can play haunting shit.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, unforgettable fire. Yeah, yeah, All right, I'll take that win.

Speaker 2:

I think I'd have to hit single out of that. I'm just saying.

Speaker 1:

Lionel Richie.

Speaker 3:

Just I bought the album because I thought you know I bought, I like thriller. So I got that album and I was like it was just plastic. There was nothing good on it to me, yeah all right this day in music Commodore.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, this day in 2020, andy Gill, founding member and guitarist of British post punk band gang of four, died at age 64. The musicians, scratchy staccato riffs, provided the band with their signature sound and influenced the likes of Nirvana for Gazi Fransford, and then he also produced albums for artists such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Stranglers and Michael Hutchins. Michael Hutchinson, hutchins, hutchins and killing joke. Let me see. On this day in 2015, the University of Oklahoma's newspaper OU daily ran a story regarding Jack Whites tour rider. The rider, which included a very strict recipe of guacamole in white's ban of bananas backstage, received nationwide media coverage.

Speaker 1:

White later released an open letter addressed in journalists and other people looking for drama or a diva, in which he referred to the guacamole Recipe as his tour managers. Inside joke with local promoters in some, and just something to break up the board. Boredom and the ban on bananas being alluded to food allergies of an unnamed tour member. All right, right on this day in 2014, a new report found that about two-thirds of people Were left with ringing in their ears after a night at a club, gig or pub. Campaign. Group action on campaign. Group action on hearing loss said the poll of a thousand adults also show a third Would ignore the safe level of their music Ringing right as we speak.

Speaker 3:

People, me included, walking around with rain or Mine was also fucking f4s in the Philippines.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, yeah, loudest jet ever fucking made those things amazing, though. Ah, let's see. On this day, in 2013, today, have you heard anything about cold play breaking up? No, I haven't heard. Jack's called me the other days, like have you heard of this rumor that this is their last tour and are they gonna do one more tour than they're breaking up? I haven't heard anything. I don't know.

Speaker 3:

That would be stupid, because what's his name? The singer he's? He's only got a career with them.

Speaker 1:

Well, he could be elites. He could be one of those guys. He's the voice.

Speaker 3:

He's passed his peak as a solo guy. I think they he's got a stick with a cold play.

Speaker 2:

I don't think his voice it's a good voice. It's not that strong. He's not. He's not a big solo guy.

Speaker 3:

It's a unique voice.

Speaker 2:

It's but it's very radio friendly. But I think what cold play? It's very almost a delicate voice. Cold plays music. Even as he got more dancing I think it suited his thing more. So he's gotta be careful but he has enough.

Speaker 1:

He has enough material. He could go on and play the piano and sing fucking acoustic style.

Speaker 1:

You know songs, but I like all their stuff on this day in 2013, cold plays clocks Topped the list of BBC radio six musics top 100 tracks in the past 10 years.

Speaker 1:

He was scared right, and you see, yeah, well, he kind of looked a little awkward at the first, but then, like he sings, he sings Golden years, fame, all things, fame, right, and at one point the voices overlap and you can see he doesn't know which voice to. Lip-sync to it's pretty funny, yep. He died this day. In 2012, police officers responded to a report of a shooting oh forgot about this, whoa. At 12 6 a 5 Mulholland Drive and found Cornelius with an apparent self-inflicted gun wound Shit to his head. He was 75.
