Remember that time we dusted off our acid-wash jeans and teased our hair to the heavens? Mark Smith and Luke Colicchio from the Music Relish Show join me to rewind to 1984, an epic year that stamped its mark on our cultural identity. Together, we crack open the time capsule, laughing and sharing the quirks and soundtracks of our youth.
We're cranking up the volume on a year that introduced us to Van Halen's synths and the drum beats that echoed in The Pretenders' halls. The albums that dropped in '84 weren't just music; they were the narratives of our lives, from Simple Minds to R.E.M., and every unexpected earworm in between. Alongside Mark and Lou, we dissect the hits and the deep cuts, offering up a buffet of anecdotes and insights that celebrate the vinyls and cassettes which defined an era.
Strap on your nostalgia goggles as we regale you with tales of concerts missed and mosh pits conquered. From the electrifying charge of live acts like U2 to the warm nostalgia of a John Lennon tune, we traverse a soundscape that's varied. This episode isn't just a trip down memory lane—it's a testament to the timeless bonds we forge through music, shared across the airwaves to your eager ears. Join us for a chat that's as much about where we've been as it is about where those tunes have taken us.

Speaker 3:January 9th.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so that was the first album. They were originally going to release it in 83, actually. Really, what is he saying? Lose in it, my brother. Lose in a Chinese restaurant. Lose in a Chinese restaurant.

Speaker 1:him Good luck. I said um so 1984. It's not like a fucking 30 minute album.
Speaker 3:Yeah, all their albums are with David Lee.
Speaker 1:I like all of them Like it's the. Is it the greatest 30 minute album ever made?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I like all the earlier albums. I'm not crazy about that album.
Speaker 4:I like half of it in retrospect. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah.
Speaker 1:It just got played so much.
Speaker 4:Yeah, that's a whole nother part of this.
Speaker 3:And that's another thing that's going to take out me, man, about Van Halen. With the CDs and they issued, they could have put Van Halen one and two on one CD, you know, yeah, and then he could have put women and children first and dive her down on one CD. He's still got just an hour.
Speaker 4:You know, yeah, yeah, when you guys had a New Year's Eve party, when they premiered the video on MTV in 1984.
Speaker 1:On New Year's Eve 1984, I was trashed somewhere.
Speaker 4:But, I wasn't watching MTV. I was at a party somewhere. I remember that the video was playing. I was pretty underwhelmed at the video, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I was at home. I was in eighth grade, didn't do anything.
Speaker 1:I was in eighth grade. I was drunk on New.
Speaker 3:Year's Eve. I didn't say I wasn't drunk, I was just saying I was home.
Speaker 1:I was home. Okay, I drink alone.
Speaker 2:Dave Phillips.
Speaker 1:King of the 45 says didn't Paul McCartney have a song titled 1984? Yeah, I think David Bowie did too, wasn't?
Speaker 4:it. Yeah, mccartney was 1985. Mccartney was, yeah, no one ever left alive 1985.
Speaker 1:In 1984. Yeah.
Speaker 4:Bowie had one right yeah, In 1984.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so Diamond Dogs was a concept album that he originally approached George Orwell's estate to do an album on the book 1984. And they were like no. So he came up with Diamond Dogs as his ultimate, his solution to that, which is a great album. It's one of my favorites. Yeah, oh, by the way, iron man activate. Here we go. He's all lit up now.
Speaker 3:Liverpool Jersey activate.
Speaker 1:Fuck you. Disco ball no fuck you Disco ball, disco ball Activate.
Speaker 4:I can put it in if you want. No, no, no, we're good, we're good.
Speaker 1:Okay, lou give me an album from 1984.
Speaker 4:REM Second Record Reckoning Reckoning, Reckoning. There's some staples on that South Central Rain. I'm sorry, Driver eight and don't go back to Rockville.
Speaker 1:Yeah, good album.
Speaker 4:It's a good album. That was their attempt to like make a less studio crafted record. Now, with some of my other musical friends, I say I love the songs. I don't like the sound of the record. It was supposed to be kind of rough. It's just rough and away. I just didn't like the sound of it. But it's a great album. The songs are real strong. It's a great second record.
Speaker 1:Oh wait, Marie Marie, just Marie Martin just said that three of us listening here in Hollywood exposing your genius to a younger generation. Well, 35 and daughters, 25.
Speaker 2:So that's all right, that's all right.
Speaker 1:All right, that's 1984 to the math 94,000.
Speaker 3:I son wasn't born. I son's 25.
Speaker 1:Hey, okay, there you go. Mark, give me an album.
Speaker 3:Okay, I was a total metalhead in 84. So, aside from a few jazz releases, I'm going to go all metal on this one. Defenders of the faith by Judas. Priest, yeah Love bites in the dead of night. Yeah, great album it really was.
Speaker 4:Martin, you were about 15. I was in eighth grade.
Speaker 3:Okay, eighth grade going into freshman high school, yeah, yeah. I was a total priest head.
Speaker 1:I really started getting into them with. Screaming for vengeance came up.
Speaker 3:There was no cooler single than you got another thing coming. That was a great song, yeah.
Speaker 1:Living after midnight.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, they had great hard rock singles.
Speaker 1:They did, they did. Yeah, I'm going to go with. Another. Early release in 1984 is Learning to Crawl. The third album by they at this point, the new version of the pretenders. Yeah, I think that version stuck together for a little while.
Speaker 4:I think so yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was good that she kept. I know his name, the drummer Martin.
Speaker 4:Chambers.
Speaker 3:Martin.
Speaker 4:Chambers.
Speaker 1:Yeah, she kept him around for a while. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Martin Chops Chambers. Yeah, what do you think of him as a drummer, luke? Anything stand out from him.
Speaker 4:Yeah, absolutely. He's a pure heart rock and roll drummer. Yeah, there have been things where he's not technically the greatest, but I used to get a modern drummer magazine in the 80s and in that period he was interviewed and spoken about this and someone said he's definitely put his stamp or he's doing his bit for rock and roll. Yeah, you know like he's been criticized. Apparently she wouldn't Kristi Heine wouldn't use him in the studio in ladder days because some tempo issues. But all their earlier stuff, including this record, the drums are great, the songs sound great. There's a lot of great songs and well-known songs in that record, man.
Speaker 4:Yeah, he's going to crawl.
Speaker 3:I mean great intro on middle of the road.
Speaker 4:I really like him, I really like him. So he sang lead on a couple of things too. Did he Couple of album covers? Yeah, good voice yeah.
Speaker 1:He had to be good. Think about this he had to be that good to keep up with James Honeyman, Scott Pete Farris and Kristi Heine. Oh, yeah, yeah, and that first album is just driving fast. Classic, classic debut album.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah One of the greatest. My favorite drumming for me, and my pretenders too, is the album that got me into them. So you got the adulteress and that was the first thing. I noticed how heavy it was with the drums. But, message of love, he's got a great little shuffle going on, yeah.
Speaker 1:He kicks off mystery achievement.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 4:But he kicks that whole song off. The drumming on middle of the road.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 4:So yeah, he's just one of those drums that just doesn't get you know, the credit probably that he deserves as a drummer.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 4:He's like a rock drummer's drummer, yeah, like rock and roll, like real. Yes, yes, meat and potatoes kind of roll Backbeat guy All right Lou Give me an album. Let's see oh White Snake sliding in before they were white Right now, Before they were White Snake. Yeah, before the David Covitell version of White Snake no no, no, he was in there, but they were more of a hard rock blues rock band.
Speaker 3:Yeah that's right, cozy, pow on drums yeah.
Speaker 4:Probably yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, cozy Pow. He might come up later on in the show. I don't know.
Speaker 4:Really.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know, maybe, Maybe, yeah, but any hits off that album no no, I don't think so.
Speaker 4:No, that's how it goes. It goes to the White Snake Like I don't know, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know, it's like a game, stuff like that. But I used to play a couple of White Snake songs from my old band. We went back a little ahead of that, but no, I don't think so.
Speaker 3:But that was pretty strong album, but yeah. It was it had the American they were getting that American.
Speaker 4:They had to polish them with the salt. The blues Right For you now, yeah.
Speaker 3:A very different band than what they would become. Oh, absolutely, absolutely Iron Maiden. And that was with the song Two Minutes of Midnight. It was a monster and I didn't realize when I was listening to it. It's a. It's a progressive album when you think about it. They did this huge 14 month world tour and they only canceled two dates on the whole tour. It was that Radio City and I had tickets for one of them and I never got to see them, but that was a classic that put them on the map as a major arena band, stadium band, whatever you know yeah, yeah, I'm gonna jump out with Her debut album, this.
Speaker 1:So this was a big move. This was a big move. Christine McVie the I thought she was a beautiful woman in her own way. She wasn't Like model type pretty, you know. She had just kind of there was something about it. I just thought she was she's an attractive girl, you know, attractive woman. But she jumped out with her debut album self titled. Christine McVie had a moderate hit with Gotta Hold on me.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, right yeah that song still has.
Speaker 1:It does still has staying power. Love will show us how I think was another one, but the big hit off that was Gotta Hold on me.
Speaker 4:So which which you wouldn't know, was not a Fleetwood Mac song. We're not a bad thing, but that just shows how important she was to the sound of just the music alone on that band.
Speaker 1:But how many? How many people jump off a band and stop you know, go solo and they sound totally different. I mean very few. There are like Mick Jones with big audio dynamite. He left a clash. Big audio diamond, total, different sound. Yeah then, the clash.
Speaker 1:But someone like her, right, look at Paul McCartney's early stuff. Right, look at Ringo Starr's early stuff, george Harrison since it's all beatlesque, morrissey's early stuff, all Smith's, you know what I mean. So a lot of them kind of try to hang in there with what got them there, maybe Because it would be a huge leap to jump out Totally change it up.
Speaker 4:Well, the sound you have, it's intrinsic to you. So, like you know the clash there, what they weren't faking, what they were doing. So to take, to not take that to another project must be hard because it's so ingrained in what you were Make that was the problem with the clash.
Speaker 1:Mick Jones really wanted to go in another direction.
Speaker 4:He really wanted to but I think you're lucky if you can do that and yeah, and be good at it. And he was, yeah, yeah, he definitely was you know, to put that band together.
Speaker 1:But yeah, then there's these. You're great, these guys, and it's just geniuses, musical geniuses, and they hear things and you know.
Speaker 4:I'd say Peter Gabriel. When he left Genesis, he became what he was supposed to be.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but he wasn't running around on stage with fucking plates on his face flower pots whatever flower pots, yeah, I think musically. I got a little something like you got stuck yeah. I got stuck, All right, look at me now.
Speaker 4:I'd be remiss not to mention Bruce Springsteen, born in the USA.
Speaker 1:Yeah, how can you not right?
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's a seven hit singles from now.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 4:What I like about it was the fact that you know Max Weinberg as a drummer was experienced in some troubles playing In the years couple years before that and making of the last album, the river, that he was on and yeah, he came back, it was. So it's a kind of like a comeback album. Bruce even said he goes. The best thing about the record is Max. So I think you know people say you know, I mean he's, he's one of the more simplest the guys is not elaborate as a drummer, but he kept that gig for 40 years, not for nothing. So it's no, yeah, it's a great record. I didn't like it when it first came out me too, I didn't I like Nebraska?
Speaker 4:I just thought it was. I thought Bruce was just going for it too much. And then when I listen to some of the singles, the cover me is a great song, man you know no surrender.
Speaker 1:Daddy home, did you go and leave me? Huh, I got a bad desire, oh fire up in the middle Sweat, yeah, yeah did Johnny Cash cover that one of his albums?
Speaker 4:probably almost fire.
Speaker 1:Nothing, a little girl. Is your daddy home? Did he go and leave you all alone? Oh, I got a bad desire.
Speaker 3:It's fuck you trying to say head to it, waking up sheets soaking wet or context images of you.
Speaker 1:She's so good where, with the freight train running through the middle of my head, I Got a bad desire.
Speaker 4:I'm on fire.
Speaker 1:What's he doing? Easy looking at.
Speaker 4:The video.
Speaker 1:They try to make it like she's, not like she's, she's an adult woman.
Speaker 4:Right, she was unattainable. You remember the video where he's he's under the car on the dollar. That was the last real video he made, because after that was like you can't have him acting on camera.
Speaker 3:No, it didn't work. No, no. Dancing with Courtney Cox worked for him, though.
Speaker 4:When he was singing there, you know he wasn't trying to be like he was on stage.
Speaker 1:But what's the thing with the little girl? That's still creepy.
Speaker 3:It's a great song, it's an old term for a girl, you know. I never said it either.
Speaker 1:Girl. I say my daughters, daughters, same here what I say it to a grown woman. He was mimicking like the old rock.
Speaker 4:It's still talking about a little girl.
Speaker 1:She's just 16 years old. Oh, they said what the fuck people? What are you doing? They would be canceled today. Cancel, culture would be all over. No, no, actually they would. Probably they would embrace it because, well, say it, mark, say.

Speaker 1:Loudest show I ever saw was ministry oh.
Speaker 3:I can imagine a club. It was in a club club.
Speaker 1:Oh fuck, and it wasn't that Bop-bop Ministry, it was the you know land of rape and honey minister.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, yeah so you remember that song? If a man wants to hurt his animals, that's his. Yeah, every day is Halloween, do you remember? This Halloween yeah we produced all those cassettes you really be. I in Hillsdale and the EQing. Because they were not happy with the cassette, we put it on chrome tape. Wax tracks paid for chrome tape. He wanted a sizzling high. So we were man. We were doing that every day, just skids and skids of them going out. He, they sold a lot of those.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, the the the more techno, yeah wax tracks.
Speaker 3:I don't know if you remember that label. We did all their stuff.
Speaker 1:Yeah, this one I'm just gonna. It's kind of a wasted pick, but I'm just gonna put it out there. Now I'll make my other pick. Do you know fucking Donovan was still making albums in 84? I believe it. First glass, colin, first glass.
Speaker 4:Smitty a tube bottle night.
Speaker 1:No, not like last week. Uh-huh yeah. Lady of the stars, Donovan putting out records in 84. I can only imagine yeah, let's see. Oh wait, we have an update from big head Todd the wet sprocket, because everybody wants to know. Quote I am jumping in the car to drive home how long is the show going to be? Last week Took me two rides to work there and back.

Speaker 1:There's a lot of exclamation points. I Don't even know why I dress him.
Speaker 3:I don't know why I do it, you dress them. Why no oh?
Speaker 1:This was a pretty big album in 84, 38 special tour de force.
Speaker 4:Yeah, there's, it was yeah right good album too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I came and that was a pretty good. That was that one had some legs, you know, yeah, yeah, tour de force remember songs around that. Let me see you had. If I'd been the one, yeah, what if I didn't want to see back where you belong? Yeah, yeah, see me in your eyes if you could see me, I like that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Good pop Let me see One more, I think One of the lonely ones or something like undercover lover. But this I always said you get an album it has three or four good songs on it, you're probably lucky.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, they were actually hits. Yeah, they said on a music roll show. I said they were a great pop band, never concerned southern rock, they were just good pop.
Speaker 4:They were like the cars of southern rock.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, that's a good way to put it, man, yeah, lou.
Speaker 4:Rush grace under pressure. Yeah great, Um great.
Speaker 1:I don't know what was the song and he hits off that there were no.
Speaker 4:No big hits off it. No songs like red sector, a Distant early warning. That really wasn't a hit.
Speaker 1:I don't know it was played.
Speaker 3:It was played it was MTV played the shit out of it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's where you see, that's where you saw it. Yeah, that's what they were aiming for. Yeah.
Speaker 4:I don't think there were any big hits. Am I wrong?
Speaker 1:Did Rush really have big hits.
Speaker 4:Subdivision spirit of the radio lime. I think the whole body of work together, oh yeah. And concerts. Yeah, they weren't a hit machine. That they didn't they were. They were drip, they had great album sales and factor album sales are amazing, right, but late for singles, no, but I think some of the you know that's some respectable songs like that got, I mean like limelight, spirit of the radio.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was a hit.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it was a big pack up that might have been in was. That might have been a top. That was a top 40, for sure top.
Speaker 3:So you know that song, red sector a off the album, all we can do for years, like when I was a kid. I'm a science fiction fan. I thought it was a cool story about being on Mars. You know some sign. And then, when I was in my 30s and I read that it was written about in tribute to get his parents who are in the concentration camps, and then, whoa like, then it becomes a heavy song, really heavy, you know.
Speaker 4:That was the time, too, they were starting to get a more modern modern sound in a lot of ways.
Speaker 3:You know Peter writing.
Speaker 4:Yeah, he's a, he was amazing on this record. I mean, whatever changes they made, they made all the way along, you know, and did it, did it right, but the playing was always interesting.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, mark. Um, all right enough with the metal. I'm gonna go with A word of mouth. By the kinks I had do it again. That was a great album, rock, radio, radio, album, like hard rock, really good. So I'm three times on that tour, do it again and then, uh, living on a thin line. I think it's on that album too, which the soprano's kind of made famous. That's right.
Speaker 4:Yeah, that's a Dave Davies lead vocal too. That's not right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Let me see.
Speaker 4:I like the early 80s kinks me too they were an arena rock band but yeah, but they did it really good. I mean, actually, what was the album from 79 that had a low budget? Low budget, that's a great album.
Speaker 1:What did you say? I love budget.
Speaker 4:Like a super man.
Speaker 3:You know it's a shit. For me was uh, give the people what they want with Paranoia, self-destroy because they were copying their own old song.
Speaker 4:Yeah, they were Paranoia, self-destroy, yeah. So I heard word of loose sunset at work today. Great, that's so I saw, will never stop pulling at my heart, man. It's so melancholy, man, but it would be a great song.
Speaker 1:So this album um Spockling the rain by simple minds, right, just for this fucking song. Just for this song. So I got a pair of um uh uh clips, Uh speakers recently a friend of mine- gave them to me right, make me jealous clips. I forget the heresies or something like that. First song I played on it I think I even talked about this on great intros is this it's that greatest song waterfront.
Speaker 3:That's the greatest song was that nice and bassy?
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, greatest. That's that greatest song waterfront. That song is a jam. I don't think they played anything harder than that, but that song is a gem. Just for that song I got the album.
Speaker 4:Yeah, was that a radio hit song or is that an album cut?
Speaker 1:Uh, it was a played on the radio song but it wasn't one of the. It wasn't like a hit but it was played on like college. You know college radio and you know the alt channels, like what we had in boston wbcn that kind of went outside the box, yep uh, which is where I heard it.
Speaker 4:But yeah, simple minds no that was a great thing about 84. Although there's all those radio stations, all the different program, you could find the whole. Yes, all that new music.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, all right, lou throw an album.
Speaker 4:Um See, icicle works. Uh, the self-titled album with the song birds fly.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I Never heard of them. There. I mean, I don't know a whole lot about them. I've heard bits and pieces of them, but I really didn't they sing land in the glass pine cones.
Speaker 1:That's that right.
Speaker 4:I think so. I think when they have any album there as well works.
Speaker 1:Were they a boston band? I think they were no were they really I don't much about their background, your research mark, you know I took a works, yeah.
Speaker 4:I did another song. You can pick up my sticks, you can buckle my shoe. Yeah, that was the kind I got. Wasn't a lot of synthy pop in the 80s, but those songs that stuck out like I never really followed up on them right. I thought they were really good, like Birds fly. I mean, first time I heard this said that's really really, that's really original, little different. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, yeah yeah yeah, that's, I was thinking of another group, yeah okay, Um they're they're English. They're English. Yeah, I definitely the liver.
Speaker 3:They're actually from the liverpool scene.
Speaker 1:Grace, here we go. If I can live a pool northerners, there we go.

Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's all incomplete Barre time. Living on bar time is kind of weird In retrospect. Yeah, I'm stepping out. That was John. John kind of wimped out a lot, I'll help him. You know he became domesticated and was writing songs that he made fun of Paul for 10 years earlier. Right, you know being sentimental, but there were some good songs, great songs on double fantasy, but I thought this was kind of neat stuff for, for, for geek fans.
Speaker 4:You know, nobody told me there's UFOs over in New York and I'm not surprised. And you know, nobody cares, nobody nobody cares.

So I was a metal fan and I went to music merchant in westwood and bought my copy of Purple Rain and I he normally had clear bags and I had to walk all the way from westwood to hillside, which is three miles. I got him to give me a paper bag, put it under my arm, brought it home, put it on and that was the beginning of. I had 1999 already. I just couldn't tell anybody.
Speaker 1:That was a great fucking album, andy Miros says Yoko, sounds like someone bearing down on the toilet. Baring down on the time. That's gotta be an Australian thing. Bearing down on the toilet, oh man, uh. So you said earlier, lou, I would be remiss. Was that you or was that mark?
Speaker 3:I would be remiss.
Speaker 1:If I didn't mention and I didn't say that the Smiths debut album came out. Oh yeah, 1984. Yeah.

Speaker 4:Uh lou, there's a bunch here, okay, the replacements. Yeah, the replacements, let it be Um, one of the first albums that really started getting them attention. They did a cover of kisses, black diamond on it and one of the best songs called answering machine, which is the. Shows you how old that is. Um, yeah, they were. They were important in their time. There was a band like I kind of liked their reputation. I like what they stood for more than really liked their music midwest park.
Speaker 4:Mike lent them as a band, but, like I said, you know, uh, the, the songs were better than the band.
Speaker 1:Hmm, that's interesting, that's a good yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, I mean some people would want to hang me for saying that old replacements die hard fans.
Speaker 3:But that's what die hard fans are for. I know someone who's want to hang tom griffin.
Speaker 4:My old man made tom griffin. He'd like to punch me in the face for saying that. Take this way.
Speaker 1:All right, who's up?
Speaker 3:muck. Yeah, I'm gonna go with the first queen album, in which I actually skipped over tracks, but the good tracks were good, the works. It had radio gaga and it had uh, I want to break free the drag song that fucking song too great song, great song. But it also had some really bad songs on it, and it was the first time.
Speaker 1:I was a bad song over. Skip over yeah no, radio gaga is a good song. Fucking horrible. It's fucking, it's mindless.
Speaker 3:That's what it's kind of supposed to be you know radio gaga, radio goosie, write those lyrics radio. That was raja teller. The drummer wrote that he was making a statement with that. No shit.
Speaker 4:So is that what the police is? That to them, with the police's do, do, do, was Basically to write a nonsense song.
Speaker 3:Yeah and see if it'll be hit. Yeah.
Speaker 1:When marie say reply to me, clip speakers, did I say clip, there's a side conversation going on. Yeah, did I miss something.

Speaker 1:Um.
Speaker 3:They said where they were manufactured. They were manufactured in uh hope, arkansas.
Speaker 1:What clip speakers? Yeah, did I miss that whole fucking conversation?
Speaker 3:I think so I think that's what they were talking about. That's right, yeah, dead air, dead air exactly.
Speaker 1:Um, well, this album was pretty big in 84. Uh, the car's hot beat city. Yeah, yeah, right. So you had hello again, magic drive. You might think drive is great, you know hot beat city.
Speaker 3:I didn't like. You might think that that.
Speaker 1:It's not the one that won the.
Speaker 4:It was a video award. Yeah, when he turns into a fly.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh, look at the technology they used.
Speaker 4:It wasn't polina in that one. Yeah, in a canoe or something. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah he, he left her nothing, he left his kids like nothing.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we're. Do you leave money to?
Speaker 1:I don't know, I gotta look it up, but I just know that she got left out in the cold and so did the kids. Yeah.
Speaker 4:Wow, yeah, even though there were divorced, she was still kind of looking after him.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:So you know, you never know he left it all to Greg Hawks. He's a Multimillionaire.
Speaker 4:All right, marie, I was about to say producer my land, my laying. Yeah, and that was the I think they were. With who these before? That was a Chris Thomas.
Speaker 3:No, it was a Thomas Baker.
Speaker 4:Yeah, but they were with my Lang and made a huge, huge record.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I like the earlier stuff better, Sure.
Speaker 4:I did too. I mean, I thought for the polish pop record, and let me love those songs. On this, on heartbeat city, david Robinson, it's not drums, it's a drum machine. So he was being. He was being kind of, so you gotta look it was 84, so things change, sounds change right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'll, I change things to, trends change, and so they just kind of you have. You listen to hoppy city and you listen to candy. Oh, you're not here in the same band.
Speaker 3:Of course you know they were smart, they had to go with the changes and that's what good bands did.
Speaker 1:That's what made you two so brilliant.
Speaker 4:No, two albums really sounded the same right, although you two are more of a cohesive. You know that Obviously a Bono and Edger the guy, the main dudes in the band kind of, but I don't know much about their politics with the car, but the cars it was Rick.
Speaker 1:Okay, six band yeah well had something to say about that, but yeah, but. I think I'm saying just as I mean drive.
Speaker 4:Oh sure the biggest hit on that album, I think the Ben or said yeah, it was better, better that's, that's our biggest hit, actually. Yeah but Ben or said they goes was when you're in the band with Rick. Okay, so he do Rick. Okay, six songs.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so Okay. So it was a producer after he kind of stopped making records.
Speaker 3:He did the first weezer album, yeah.
Speaker 4:But he did that solo record too.
Speaker 1:Yes, it was okay, it was okay, it was okay.
Speaker 4:It was before heartbeat city, though. Yeah.
Speaker 1:It was a motion your emotion, emotion. Yeah, that was on that. I like that song.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I do too, and I was surprised. I think I mentioned last week Lou, that, um, I didn't know that after Benjamin or died, they did an album. Rick okay, sick did another album with them. They got back together great, oh, it's all the bass and I didn't know about. I listened to it. It's a pretty good album.
Speaker 4:I heard it was good.
Speaker 3:That was on 2011.
Speaker 4:I think yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so 2011 growing up in Boston the cars Boston Arrowsburg.
Speaker 1:There's like an oversaturation for people that live there, right, because it's played and you live it. And I didn't really have enough appreciation for Ben or like when he died I didn't really Look at it because it was just so much, yeah, growing up so much around that it was like all Ben or died. I didn't take it personally, I didn't like, oh. But then when the dust settled in, the years go by, I Started kind of really listening. I had a whole new appreciation for that dude. Yeah, you know, I mean just how he played and in the songs that he sang and just always seemed to be just a cool Dude. You know what I mean?
Speaker 3:quiet like he was like the rock star of the band. If you guys, there was a classic. The looks he had, the looks he had a voice and essential, because if it wasn't for him, they would have been a more of a one-dimensional band with just exactly that's a yeah.
Speaker 1:So that's a great point. That's a great point when you have, like Fleetwood Mack, you have these multiple singers in a band. That does always bring a new dimension to the listeners and it changes shit up for you. You know, and, like you said, it would have been all Rick O'Casey and that might not have been bad. Right, they were great because Ben or was in there too.
Speaker 3:They wouldn't have let's go. They wouldn't have had drive, they wouldn't. There's so many songs like yeah, it's so good, right as far as and his vocalist.
Speaker 4:Neither one overshadowed the other. As a singer, they're very different, they were very different, but you know they were compatible. So, well, rick O'Casey might have had more of the command. You know, ben or? He said he had more of the glamour. It was a good looking guy yeah, yeah he didn't sing any fluff, no, you know. Okay, he's saying the title track to the second record.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, that's right, that's right. All right, who's up Lou?
Speaker 4:King Crimson three of a perfect pair. Yes, I forgot I had that album that came after. I forgot the album. Discipline discipline which is what's the time that has heartbeat on it, oh wait now. There was a discipline was the red album.
Speaker 3:Three of a perfect pair was the yellow album, and then they had a dark blue album, but discipline was the first one.
Speaker 4:Okay, well, I think this came in well that it almost had a radio hit with heartbeat. Yes, it was, like you know, a progressive pop song, but three of a perfect. I remember that song. So I meant that just jogged my memory, because I like, I, really I like that period.
Speaker 3:It was very good. Yeah, it's a very good period.
Speaker 4:You know Bill Briford was using electronic drums and you know they just they did a very modern, very unique and very like them record and I always sort of it really strange time for music. You know there's, you know hip-hop raps on there and you know here's this weird prog band actually being relevant.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and I was, they were. They were mathematical during that period because Robert Phryps playing.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah.
Speaker 3:That's right. Do, do, do, do, do, do.
Speaker 4:Yeah do, do, do, do he was very, very rigid, but it was great. Well, this is also the Adrian blue period. Yes, talking about an essential ingredient. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's still around somewhere, isn't he?
Speaker 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 3:He's still playing. He had a major falling out with Phryps so I saw them on their last couple tours and what they they do on their did on their tours was they had three drummers down in the front and they did. They promise to do at least one song from every period but Adrian blue for Bade. He sued Robert Phryps and said if you do anything from my period you cannot sing it the way I sang it. He's got a very unique voice. So the guy when I saw I'd noticed that when they did it he was just like changing the melody slightly. They weren't allowed to.
Speaker 3:Yeah bad blood, yeah, yeah. I was up me speaking of you two, the unforgettable fire and this. This was a landmark, because this was a big change for them in my opinion. They hooked up with Daniel and why, and you know, yeah, and magical, and I was lucky on this album, they did a warm-up gig at Radio City.
Speaker 1:I know you know the fuck.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's what's it, and it was great, it was just very personal wait, wait, wait, with a break of the action.
Speaker 1:We have not talking about unforgettable fire, but wait a minute. Big head Todd Stockman breaks in on the action. He has to stop for gas.
Speaker 3:Does that mean he has gas? Yes, you can. You can fart in your own car.
Speaker 4:It's alright.
Speaker 1:Oh shit, wait a minute now. Wait a stop the show. Stop the show. Everybody. What's going on? Shit, stop the show. The one, the only Jack Looking Jack. He's wearing his peaky blind there and everything is peaky blind a hat. He's ready. Look at, jackie boy. I'm excited. I Didn't know this. I get it. I gotta go.
Speaker 2:Absolutely.
Speaker 3:I got the show moved up by 45 minutes.
Speaker 2:Have you guys been on since seven? Yeah, yeah, oh, my god, what's going on?
Speaker 1:Oh, look at this way, patty yassi. Omg, how are you, jack? I?
Speaker 4:knew I turned in for a reason oh.
Speaker 1:Look at this.
Speaker 2:Let's go. What are we talking about?
Speaker 3:We were talking.
Speaker 2:Yeah, albums from 84, okay. I wish I had done a little bit of research, but I was around in 84 so I might be able to jump in on this one a little bit, let's.
Speaker 1:Let's jump into something with you, jack, in 84, what was some concerts that you can you remember? Concerts from 84.
Speaker 2:Sure, I can remember seeing Van Halen on the 1984 tour. I think it was 84.
Speaker 1:Yeah, anything come the.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's, that's, that's pre live aid. You know, definitely. Look, I gotta tell you, you know, in those years I mean you know Van Halen, iron maiden, you know Judas Priest, you know All of that stuff and I loved all that stuff and going to those shows were great. But I do have some real regrets because as you get older and as your musical tastes kind of evolve and and change and whatnot it, it bums me out when I think about who I missed Back in 1984 because like, while I was going to see Judas Priest who are great, stevie Wonder was probably playing across town, ray Charles was probably playing, nina Nina Simone was probably playing across town. Right, yeah, yeah, you know. So I mean we gave up. You know probably some legendary, legendary shows because we just we just didn't know any better at the time. Yeah right, right.
Speaker 1:But again you're right. So we look back and we're like, oh, I shouldn't went to this concert. I should have went, but there's a reason we didn't you know we were.
Speaker 4:We were idiots.
Speaker 1:In 84, it was all about you know. I started your own music, like I probably saw Ted Nugent in 84. You know, it was like just that's what it was all about.
Speaker 2:At least with us, you know what's new, what's popular and what's loud, yeah, yeah you know what I know in 84 I was still spending an awful lot of time at, like, the Orpheum, you know so a smaller venue catching bands that was still on their their way up. So you know bands like you know the pretenders. I think 84 was the first time I saw our AM.
Speaker 1:When did you see the alarm? Did we see the alarm earlier than that?
Speaker 2:That was on the learning to crawl tour From the pretenders.
Speaker 1:So yeah, I saw that concert at the Orpheum, I believe that would.
Speaker 2:That would not surprise me if that was 84.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was 84, right, I mentioned that album earlier, yeah another, another legend, legendary, idiotic moment.
Speaker 2:What did I do? I was so excited to see the alarm that I had them sign my paycheck.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:That I could no longer cash.
Speaker 1:Yeah $100, 87 dollar paycheck. Yeah, yeah it was?
Speaker 2:it was probably like 72 dollars.
Speaker 1:I was working at strawberries records and tapes and it was the fucking such a spur of the moment you probably heard the story before was standing there at the in front of the Orpheum theater and this you got. You got Tremont Street and the Boston Commons right across Street and the. The Orpheum is like set back off the street, so it's like a dead end. Right, it's the Orpheum, it's the theater. You can go in this, out this door right here and go into the. You know where there's, I forget, the Galleria Mall or something they call it, whatever, but it's fucking. Tour bus stops right on the street and these dudes start pouring out and they start walking down the alley and Jack goes. You know you couldn't miss it the hair and everything that's the alarm right, that's it.
Speaker 1:It's like six o'clock in the evening.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna see if one of them will cash my paycheck. So we go up.
Speaker 1:We just start talking to them and they were no older than are. They were a couple years older than us, maybe you know. And so Jack says hey, can I get your autograph? Any fucking gives them his check, dude signed it.
Speaker 2:What's?
Speaker 1:his name? I don't know, I can forget.
Speaker 2:Mike, mike Peters. I think the entire band signed it actually. Yeah, do you still have that? No, I have no idea where it is. It's probably upstairs in a box somewhere. But that was April 27th 1984 and I bought the album.
Speaker 1:I bought the album a Couple of record store days ago like three record store days ago that was, that that show was recorded live at the Orpheum and I was one of those special, uh, record store days albums and I scooped it up and I listened to it and I was like, well, we just lost Lou that was it. Oh, he must have to go to the bathroom. There he is. So, yeah, I got that album. I got the album from recorded live from when we were there.
Speaker 2:Remember the early days of this show we were all into like we got to go to a record store day.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, the early days, you know.
Speaker 2:I was. You know, I was walking around and just I need to get this, I need to get this, I can. Caught up in the moment and walking up I was like, ah, fuck it, I'll just buy them all. I think that's six, six hundred and eighty nine dollars later.
Speaker 1:I never went that deep. I went a couple hundred deep, but I know. I never went that deep, but listen, this is.
Speaker 2:I still have a bunch of look like here's one that's right here, so I know, open 60 unopened stuff nice Like I'll be worth something someday.
Speaker 4:No no.
Speaker 2:I'll open it at some point. I'll get there.
Speaker 1:Uh-huh. So so, jack, fill us in. Fill us in a little bit on what's been going on with you. What's been going on with your art? What's been going on? Don't you have a showing coming up, or something?
Speaker 2:Yeah, so an artist now, so I'm a I'm a member of the Kiddery Art Association and Kiddery Maine and they do Six or seven shows a year when they feature an artist and I'm, I'm, I'm miss September so so so I've been.
Speaker 2:I've been kind of working toward that. You can see my disgusting art room. Be, you know, behind me. Try to try to take it serious, trying to Complete like 15 new paintings, whatnot? I mean it sounds bigger than it is. You know, like it's my own show, that the reality of it is is I. I get a wall to myself.
Speaker 2:You know, so I'll be able to put, like you know, 15 paintings up there. So that, that's. That's definitely been a point of focus for me. And then the idiot that I am, I went and got promoted and it's just killing me. They're just Not. You know what they? The guy, the guy that I worked for, our CEO. He actually said he goes. Look, you got to be careful of what you asked for because you might get it. And he was right. They're clobbering me. I mean, you know what? I'm treading water right now, as it is, and I haven't even started to hit the road yet, you know. So, if I look at my schedule in March, april and May, I'm on the road like every other week. It's gonna be crazy, but I get to go to glorious places like Birmingham, alabama.
Speaker 2:And so somewhere in Ohio and I know I'm gonna be in Texas I'm going to.
Speaker 4:San.
Speaker 2:Antonio and I'm going to Austin. Which Austin's cool.
Speaker 1:San Antonio is cool too. San Antonio is cool yeah pretty fun.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so you know, we'll make, we'll make the most of it, we'll make the best of it.
Speaker 1:You coming to Miami, right, you coming to Miami, coming to Miami, yeah, you know and Deb.
Speaker 2:Deb and I've got a little bit of a trip in between. We're going to see you two at the sphere, that's right. Oh, on my birthday, the second to last show of their residency there. So hopefully they, hopefully they still have a little bit of gas in the tank.
Speaker 1:Maybe, maybe more geared up right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Jesus Christ, we're almost fucking done. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So so they and I'm trying to figure this out. So Deb, deb and I are there. It's a Friday night in Vegas, my birthday. You two at the sphere, it's gonna be fantastic. She has a flight back to To Boston. It's seven o'clock the next morning and I actually have to go from Vegas to Arizona, but I don't have to go till Sunday. So I'm in Vegas on my own on that Saturday night and I was looking to see if there was anybody playing and who's playing. Madonna is playing, christine Aguilera is playing, a Delas playing, and then I think I.
Speaker 2:I think I finally found my sweet spot. Chicago is playing at the.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I would go see a delt.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I would definitely go see her look, look, I gotta be honest with you. If I, if I were in Ohio and any one of those people were, I'm going to play, and even if it was Christine Aguilera, I'd probably go just for the hell of it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. So have you ever? Have you ever? So? We've all been to. I don't know if we've all. I've been to a number of them. Jack, I know you have a number of kickoff dates for tours. Like, yeah, you know, I was. I saw you to kick off the Elevation Tour in Fort Lauderdale and, yeah, yeah, kick off their big. The first reunion, the big reunion in Fort Lauderdale. I'm blue. Have you ever seen a concert like a kickoff show? No, I'm not. What about you, mark?
Speaker 3:Well, aside from that, you too show that I saw. Now I've saw the last Airosmith permanent vacation tour.
Speaker 1:That was so okay, that's where I was going next. So you see these last. You're not gonna ask me. I know you've seen. All right, yeah, get the list. No, you know what?
Speaker 2:I'll give you one. I'll give you one. Look, I forgot about.
Speaker 1:Jack already.
Speaker 2:The last the last time that Queen toured in the United States. They 1982 tour at the Boston Garden.
Speaker 3:Wow was Billy's fire opening point.
Speaker 1:You had a great point about that. What would you say, you mark?
Speaker 3:Oh, did Billy squire? Open that show, billy.
Speaker 2:Billy squire, open that show, yeah.
Speaker 3:It's tour the tour that, yeah, yeah, I'm not ruined in America.
Speaker 2:Hot, hot space, hot space tour and one of the things that I remember about it. First off, it was a great show. It was the first and only time that I had gotten to see Queen with with Freddie Mercury or otherwise, and and they had these. They had these guys that were kind of like flying on these lights. They were obviously on cables and whatnot, and one of them wasn't working. They were still trying to get their shit together. You know, for the, for the tour, and we all thought, for sure, because you know the hot space album, that it would be the first time that they ever played under pressure Live in the United States. And we, we were absolutely certain that Bowie was gonna walk on because it was the first show. No way to be found, but we're saying it anyways. Right, he did sing it anyways, yeah.
Speaker 1:So that's like watching Bono do miss Sarri Evo without Luciano Pavarotti. I saw him do it fucking phenomenal, fucking job. It was an amazing Job that he did that on his own. It was really a beautiful thing to see. But so the last concerts? Hey, have Lou Mark you seen last concerts? Yeah, that's a. Errol Smith had their big with permanent vacation.
Speaker 3:They did a triple bill at Giant Stadium and I only went really because of the purple. But it was guns and roses who were on the upswing and if you see the Paradise City video, the second half for the song gets fast. That was filmed at this show I was at. But that's where I learned I hated Axel because he was telling everybody to go home. He said if you don't like is a, you're the opening band. You know, shut up. The purple came out. Richie Blackmore was drunk, drunk office. He had a wine bottle on his amplifiers but during smoking a water they trashed Giant Stadium trash.
Speaker 4:Was he drinking yellowtail shard?
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah. And then I was with come out and it was almost anti-climactic because all the stadium got destroyed. I mean they, they didn't have rock shows at the Giant Stadium for about a year or two after it was a riot, but it was good. Just it was Errol Smith back. That was a triumph for them. You know, permanent vacation. They're back on the charts, so it was. It was neat being there.
Speaker 1:Jack, you seen any last concerts?
Speaker 2:I'm sure I have. Oh, actually, I saw it wasn't his last concert, but it was the last time for a tour like for a tour. Yeah, I saw. I saw the last time that Tom weights played a tour in the United States. Down in Atlanta at the Fox Theater there's was anything special, like did they do?
Speaker 1:was for anything different.
Speaker 2:No, cuz he was. He was going off to Europe after that. Yeah so you know I don't remember it. The thing that was special it was the last concert that I saw with my dad.
Speaker 2:Ah Nice last concert that I saw with my, my dad and you know we had great seats and I literally flew down to Atlanta. I flew down first thing in the morning, I walked around town, took a tour of the Fox Theater, had dinner with him, went to the show, went to bed, woke up and flew home. Wow, I was there, I was. I was there like literally less than 24 hours, but it was. It was well, well worth it, and one of the things that was really cool about it was that a couple of months later they broadcast it on NPR and it is a tremendous. If you can find it online and there are bootlegs. If you're a Tom weights fan, it is unbelievable. That's, that show was incredible.
Speaker 1:Yeah, people like him don't do bad shows. I really don't. Even they might think it is, but if you're, if you're in the audience, I Mean it's it's hard to think that he would do a bad show, you know they don't talk about being greedy.
Speaker 2:I was like it's not like he's worried about pitch.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know, talk about being greedy. You know, after seeing that I was like I got to see him again because you know Deb's a big fan and she didn't come in. My kids, we turn them on to them and my kids would love, love, love, love to see Tom weights. We were hoping that he tore again, but that last show that was 16 years ago. Wow, what year was that? It was 2008. I believe either 2007 and 2008, but I I don't know that you're gonna see Tom weights back out on the road again. I mean the guys in his 70s. He hates the tour. Yeah.
Speaker 1:And you're gonna pay for it though too. You know, pay gladly, gladly. I saw gorillas last their last show of their last tour in Miami and it was fucking classic. I'd seen them twice before. Once, with Jack up in Boston, damon Albert just got fucking trashed. It was trashed saying everything right, but he just jumped off the stage at one point, just started walking up into the crowd and just like never seen him do that before and I've seen him twice. He's very interactive with the crowd. But he came down, he went up the side, he was dancing, he was just having a great fucking time. It was almost like, yeah, this shit's done, I'm gonna be in England tomorrow. You know, load it, you know, load it up. I don't care, yeah, but it was just really a different show, energy-wise, for that. But you know what, jack, while we got you, while we got you.
Speaker 2:Whoa, whoa, it's not. It's not this year in music, is it?
Speaker 1:no, no, no, no, no, no. You're gonna be gone well before that. So now I do it on Facebook, but now Mark and Lou demanded that I do it during the podcast. Yeah, so it's time for you Make.
Speaker 2:Holy crap. Now, yeah, I don't come on this fucking show anymore. You're an idiot. Here we go. How many do you have a? Do you have a way to track how many viewers you have that? I count three.
Speaker 1:Okay, then it's three. It's not about the viewers and it's my sister. I think there's 78 watching right now.
Speaker 2:That's cool. 78.
Speaker 1:Wait, it's up to 200 when you came on and all of a sudden started skyrocketing like Before you guys go to you make the call.
Speaker 2:So we're talking about concerts. You guys have any shows that you have coming up. I mean, I mean, look, we're all getting older. Are you still keeping up like at the concert? Still a thing, or is it more of a panning the ass and Well?
Speaker 3:for me. For me, it's my. My son-in-law got me going back to concerts, but they're moving back to Atlanta. So once they move I'm really gonna have no one to go to shows with salt, but going by myself, you know.
Speaker 2:I still want to meet. I still want to meet you and go to see somebody somewhere. Yeah, let's. I think that would be crazy, hilarious to motherfuckers Lou.
Speaker 1:You know, you know, what you too, you too wait, hold on, lou, hey, you, you.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they formed an alliance, those two, you know that's fine.
Speaker 2:Hey, so I see you have a dead in company shirt on. Yeah, you're gonna go to the sphere, are you gonna try to go?
Speaker 3:my dad's funny. You say that because my son-in-law. We went to see them at Met, the Met Stadium, every year, and you saw him at Nassau Coliseum. So yeah, he's bugging me to go. We're gonna try?
Speaker 2:did you try to? Did you try to put in for tickets? I know they just added another eight shows at this year.
Speaker 3:I see, might have done it. He. He always does that, you know, and he's got great luck, you know, at getting tickets.
Speaker 2:Is. Is John still playing with him?
Speaker 3:He's gonna do that. I think the reason they stopped playing was John didn't want to do the tour every summer. He has to do his own career. So they broke up. But I knew it wasn't a breakup. I knew that they were just gonna do some limited shows together because they're too good together. I mean they can't stop that. That he was made. It was a match made in heaven really was a good show.
Speaker 2:Is anybody gonna see the the Pearl Jam tour that's coming this summer?
Speaker 3:I would actually like to see them. I never saw them.
Speaker 2:They're playing Wrigley, they're playing Fenway and they're playing a bunch of other places. I know you, they're doing a couple of Festivals as well, by the way, the festivals. Last couple of years I've gone to Boston calling and it's been great the Line-up. I I'm telling you they're running out of people to headline these festivals. It's it's not good and no, what makes it worse? I don't know if this is a matter of us getting older or whatever. I was like okay, you know there's a bunch of bands that I don't recognize, but maybe I, maybe I need to kind of give it a shot. You know, give it a, give it a chance. So you jump on Spotify.
Speaker 2:You know, thankfully, you don't have to make any type of investment and they have a Boston calling lineup 2020 for a play yeah, and I swear to you, I gave it my best, best of intentions and after a while I was like I, I can't listen to this shit. Yeah, there were some. There were some horrible, horrible bands out there.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, I mean. So think about that. Growing up, you know, alright, the 80s was Madonna. Right now it was like all the parents like when I isn't Taylor Swift, the modern day Madonna, like we look at Taylor Swift like all right, all right, okay, talented, pretty young girl, but all right enough. But I suppose our parents were saying the same thing about Madonna. Okay, enough is enough. Sick of hearing about Madonna. So I'm not dogging Taylor Swift. God bless her. The girl is a fucking. She's a. She just prints money, yeah, takes a shit, it comes out hundred dollar bills, yeah. But you know, after a while it's like I really don't have an interest. I have no interest in seeing her. I don't get it.
Speaker 3:But I'd like to see it, oh, just to see what all the hubbub is, because she's got some catchy tunes, you know well, jack saw Lizzo.
Speaker 1:I did see Lizzo.
Speaker 2:Great, she was good.
Speaker 1:She was no one's here anymore.
Speaker 2:Why.
Speaker 1:Dude, she's cancelled. Oh, cut it out, she is you, didn't, have you not been following this?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know that she had some of her. True that that's suitor.
Speaker 1:Oh, they're still soon, hasn't been? It's still going forward. They just look at it.
Speaker 2:I don't, I don't, I don't know the details of this, but but I have to tell you something.
Speaker 1:I mean she got ghosted by Beyonce and all of them. They just said that hands off her.
Speaker 2:Yeah, in today's day and age, you know, look, sometimes you get a kick ass to make things right, right. Hey, don't. You don't remember Moe Green from the Godfather when?
Speaker 1:yeah, that's a good analogy. Oh, and Moe Green.
Speaker 2:Hey, hey, mike. You know sometimes I get a kick ass to keep the place running joint. He was bang cocktail waitresses two at a time, frito, right. So so this, this is what I think about the Lizzo thing and admittedly I haven't read into it. I don't I'm ignorant about this right now, but I think part of this is that she was demanding and wanted work to be done right and she had people that Rebellion, a whole, nother part of that story the Okay and fucking in in Sweden or something like that.
Speaker 1:Or Filling, there was a sex show that she brought that they all went to and she made one of the dances Fucking almost give oral to one of the things that there was a banana involved and it was one of those like they, if you didn't do it you were gonna get fired, type thing. And I think, there's a whole nother aspect to this.
Speaker 3:Maybe that's what they claim.
Speaker 1:we don't know yeah yeah, fat shaming the fat girl was fat shaming the fat girls.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think a lot of it's bullshit, quite honestly, I'm not. I'm not saying, not saying those things didn't happen, but I think that people have a tendency to rewrite history for their own purposes. Oh hey, that sounded good, wasn't that?
Speaker 3:you need to be canceled. I think she was set up, if you ask me, because she did cause a lot of people to be angry at her outside of music.
Speaker 1:So these are just her dancers. It's not like she came in out of it, slept with her and said oh, she rapped me. She said dancers. You know what?
Speaker 2:Too much time, too much money behind Lizzo. She'll be back, I think.
Speaker 1:Oasis will get back together again, whatever they are, they will they won't, let's.
Speaker 3:No, they won't shut up, they won't.
Speaker 1:Let's go with an REM to you make the car, you make the car, we're gonna start with you. All right, lou, and then we go around. All right, lou, you make the call, rush, close it to the heart, or, yes, long distance, run around long distance run.

Speaker 4:And I'm gonna have a separate way.
Speaker 1:I fucking can't stand wheel in the sky, by the way, but any song that was in fucking caddy shack is a winner, and seeing Rodney Dan winner. Hey, let's dance. That's a fucking winner. I win, you three lose. I won that round. All right, here we go. Who, sir Lou? You starting.
Speaker 4:Sure.
Speaker 1:Yeah, sure you make the call the raspberries edition. Oh, no, no, not raspberries, it's. You make the call raspberries, go all the way, right, mm-hmm, it's a great intro to that song. Yeah, or Holly's long cool woman, long cool.
Speaker 3:Mark, for me it's raspberry say is one a perfect pop song, perfect harmony and that intro is great, but I love long.
Speaker 2:Jack, I'm going raspberries as well, and I agree. I agree with Mark. The intro to that is absolutely amazing. It's rock and roll, it's it's. It's surprising that they didn't have more hits, wasn't it was that Eric Carmen? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you remember? Eric Carmen went solo. What was this big song? Alone again, my love is alive. No, no, that's Gary right, that's Gary right, that's right.

Speaker 1:Gary Wright was from. No. What band was he from? Did he come out of?
Speaker 2:spooky, spooky tooth. Yeah, it's spooky tooth.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna have to go with again the intro to long cool woman is that's a classic intro. Also, I got a long cool woman when the great rock and roll vocals to.
Speaker 4:He's underrated as a singer. I like yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, all right, here we go.
Speaker 2:Mark was great, was Graham Nash in the band still, when they did that to him no, no.
Speaker 3:I didn't think he might have been dead already, right? Oh, I'm thinking of Graham Graham Parsons Sorry.
Speaker 1:See you fucking. You called out Lou and look what happened.
Speaker 2:Like Lose killing me. I love the Graham Parsons project. Yeah, I.
Speaker 3:Fuck you Lou.
Speaker 1:All right, all right, let's start with Jack. Jack, you make the call. Elton John edition honky cat or crocodile rock.
Speaker 2:Honky cat Crock, crocodile rock it was. That was my gateway to Elton John when I was a little kid. I love that song, but it's it's a little cheesy.
Speaker 1:Okay, there's no wrong answer. It's what you taste. This I gotta get with. I think I would lean Toward honky cat, although crocodile rock is a very unique song.
Speaker 2:It's a great.
Speaker 1:Yeah, of all his songs that's kind of that's a standalone sound. He really went after that kind of 50s vibe, you know, going back in time. So if you look back at the song it's one of those songs you kind of listen to it again. You're like you know what? That was pretty fucking ingenious at the time to do that, because it was the 70s, for 50s are only 20 years ago. You know, yeah, 50s revival thing going on, the TV shows are being played again, happy days, you know, yeah. So that's why I was such. But I gotta lean toward hockey. Honky cat Lou.
Speaker 4:I fucking hate that song. Honky cat no.
Speaker 1:Rocking rock. Yeah, I know I don't ever like it, did you never?
Speaker 4:I never like, you never like.
Speaker 2:Seem like a Lou song to me.
Speaker 4:I love Elton John. I thought I thought that was pandering to the 50s movement that was going on.
Speaker 1:Well, a lot of them pandered to the disco movement, but it sold a lot of fucking records horrible.
Speaker 2:Did Elton John have a disco song so?
Speaker 4:what else your freedom was. Kind of disco, wasn't?
Speaker 1:yeah, that was kind of disco week.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and he had that album in 79 that he didn't want released. It was all disco and geo geo, geo Roder released it. It's all like he was doing. He's playing around in a recording studio doing disco songs and they released it. But it's part of his catalog.
Speaker 4:It's hard. It's hard for him to do anything really bad. I can't imagine it being that bad, yeah, right.
Speaker 2:I have a. I have a buddy of mine that I worked with out in California and Elton John literally and I I Know this for a fact Elton John literally Allegedly stole one of his songs, oh wow. So I'll give you the 32nd version of it. He was a songwriter. Somehow, through some connections, he was able to get his song to Elton John's management. They arranged a meeting. Literally, elton John came in a limousine. My buddy got in the limousine, played him the song on a cassette. Elton John said nothing listen to the song. He got out of the car, elton John went away and he thought that was the end of it. Six months later that song was on an album Whoa and he had to sue Elton John to get. I think he got like three or four hundred thousand dollars and he said I'll take zero money if he just give me a writing credit and they wouldn't do it right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's more money in the end.
Speaker 2:Yeah they wouldn't do it. I don't even remember the name was. It was some shit you know song that you know didn't really do much. It was a. It was kind of a filler mark, honky cat or crocodile rock.
Speaker 3:The verses of crocodile rock are great. It's got that great 70s bass sound while he's playing everything. But I got to go with honky cat because I love the piano Flourishes on that song. It's almost like a dr John feel, some of those little things he does, you know.
Speaker 1:So yeah, I paired that of it. The AI says the Holly's wanted the creed and sound for long cool woman that's that that's yeah, yeah, little interesting. And then he said I can play crocodile rock on kazoo.
Speaker 2:I heard you can play it on skin flute, but that's. I can play long distance run around on the kazoo.
Speaker 1:That's the next time you come on, bring your kazoo with you. 17.
Speaker 2:That's not fucking guitar. Oh, no, no, no.
Speaker 1:Stay, stay.
Speaker 3:He'll, I can get my guitar.
Speaker 1:In the fucking you'll get a double major.
Speaker 3:Not gonna see guitars anytime soon here.
Speaker 1:All right, here we go. We'll start with Lou. All right, you make the call Lou, john Lennon, mind games, or or George Harrison, my sweet Lord ah, my sweet Lord, my sweet Lord. My sweet Lord.
Speaker 4:That's a tough one.
Speaker 2:Talk about a song that's reminiscent of the 50s and 60s Mark. What's your choice? First of all, he got sued. Good Harrison got sued by the Charelles, yeah.
Speaker 3:First of all, I want to apologize to Perry. I didn't mean to say that it's going to be a rough show this week.
Speaker 1:Anyway, get him, perry, get him, he's going to kill me Fuck him up.
Speaker 3:Perry, I will say when you stack up George Harrison against John Lennon, I always like George Harrison, stuff better, but the coolest beat my game is the motherfucker of a song, so I'm going to go with my games, jack.
Speaker 2:I've always loved my sweet Lord. Yeah, all right.
Speaker 1:I got to go with mine games. I think that's his. That's my favorite song by John Lennon. I got the bootleg eight track at the singing cricket in the wind throw up. When it first came out had a lime green sticker on it. It was fucking tight Everything.
Speaker 2:That is your favorite, john.
Speaker 1:Lennon solo. It's just I just loved since it came out and I was a kid. I just fucking love that song.
Speaker 2:It's a great tune. What about? What about your other guys? You have a favorite John Lennon solo song?
Speaker 3:I'd say mine games is up there and I like his more pop tunes like I like watching the Beatles. I think that's a great pop song, great song, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:I kind of favorite number nine dreams.
Speaker 1:That's my second, yeah, number nine dreams.
Speaker 4:I love what it gets you through the night, but I wish they would just rerecord that. A remix it yeah.
Speaker 1:Why? What's wrong with it?
Speaker 4:It's just I'm not like you can't tell what anyone's really doing on that song. It's great as a whole, but you tell us like the drums either playing nothing or he's doing a lot of shit there.
Speaker 3:You know what it reminds me of? It reminds me of the first couple of spring scene albums. Like there's too much going on, yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I mean it kind of makes sense as a whole, but it's just, it's weird, there's something it's just it's mushy to me, but I like number nine dream. That's no, no, no, no. I really like every man has a woman that loves him. I hope that's a Johnny Yocke thing. That's a weird outtake from those letters. Better day sessions Really cool song.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, all right, I'm going to go with the song for you. Make the call, jack, I'll start you off. Toto 99 or boss gags Georgia.
Speaker 2:Oh, fuck you. I think I'm going to go with boss.
Speaker 1:It's no wrong answer, like I said, I like that song.
Speaker 2:I love the fact that he started out as Steve Miller's bass player.
Speaker 4:Right.
Speaker 1:Right, all right, I have to go with. I'm going to be honest with you?
Speaker 2:I don't. I'm not sure that I know 99 by 99.
Speaker 3:Oh, you know it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, hold on, it's great.
Speaker 2:I know it's Toto.
Speaker 1:Yeah, While you go Lou, you make the call. I'm going to pull this up for Jack He'll know I'm definitely know the song.
Speaker 4:I'm going with 99 because I never knew that was Toto. I see here that song all the time, but it's a good song. That's a hard call, but it's home. Let me see.
Speaker 3:Do you want me to do it? Here we go, okay.
Speaker 1:See, I got to break away for one second while this, so I don't get this copyright knock.
Speaker 3:Yeah, let's all talk over it until you bring it to the microphone.
Speaker 2:I got to tell you I don't recognize it yet.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh, wait a minute. This isn't Steely Dan Right.
Speaker 3:You never heard that song I don't know.
Speaker 2:I don't know if I know that song.
Speaker 1:It was all over the radio. You must, you just never probably paid attention. I can't you know.
Speaker 2:I probably went at that time. I probably went. Oh, I hate Steely Dan and turned it off.
Speaker 4:It's off Gacho. There you go which, hey, for the record, I do love Steely Dan.
Speaker 2:I love Steely Dan.
Speaker 4:No hate mail.
Speaker 2:Perry Beasy on me man.

Speaker 1:All right, hey, we're going to jump into the movies.
Speaker 3:Hey, I didn't get my pick.
Speaker 1:Oh, I'm sorry, can I say?
Speaker 3:it Jack, whoa, whoa, say it Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 2:I didn't get my John Lennon pick, by the way, oh Jesus.
Speaker 1:Oh, it was like I'm not getting involved in this one. He just failed. All right, what's your John Lennon pick?
Speaker 2:I love that. Every time that Lou gets a little nervous, he runs away.
Speaker 3:He has to pee, he has to pee.
Speaker 1:It depends. See, that's the thing with the show now. It goes so long, they just fucking take off to go to the bathroom. They don't even, there's no announcement, they just disappear off the screen.
Speaker 3:If I have water with my wine, I go like three times, you know.
Speaker 2:So my John Lennon tune is Instant Karma. Really I always loved that song, just I heard it a lot. I just heard it a lot and you know what, to the guy's point, not very well mixed, yeah.
Speaker 3:A lot of his stuff wasn't well mixed.
Speaker 2:It's got a weird mix and that was what's his name there the Phil Spector. It was Phil Spector, I'm pretty sure yeah.
Speaker 1:Instant Karma it's. Oh, here we go. All right, big head Todd, the wet Sparrow, a gentleman, and Scott, I am home. Instead of I'm, he says I am, I am home and signing off I am Mark and Lou. You both are awesome, but Jack, you made my night.
Speaker 3:Yay yeah, Jack made a lot of it.
Speaker 2:What if I?
Speaker 3:get you through the night. Yay, listen, I can't wait to listen to part two of my drive into work tomorrow.
Speaker 2:I love you, jack. So, by the way you know because we were talking about whatever gets you through the night I'm sure you guys know the story that John Lennon and Elton John had an agreement that if that song went to number one, that John Lennon would join. Yeah, elton John on stage. Man, I wish that we were older when this happened. But John Lennon. When it hit number one, john Lennon actually flew to Boston and saw Elton John perform at the Boston Gardens. Yeah, wow. And then the next show I don't know if it was the next night or a couple of nights later he played. Elton John played at Madison Square Garden and John Lennon jumped on stage with him. He didn't jump on stage, he walked on stage. But the cool thing about it is there's a guy that I work with. His name is Bill Deschardy, literally sits across the hall from me. He was at that show. Wow, very cool.
Speaker 2:He was at that show Nice.
Speaker 4:That was a reunion right.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Alright, gentlemen, we're going to jump into something later.
Speaker 3:Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Toto's like my favorite band and I never got to pick. I mean, come on, Scott.
Speaker 4:And I heard you guys talking shit about me through my headphones.
Speaker 1:That was Mark, not me.
Speaker 4:I said Jack's not me. Jack said something about Lou getting up.
Speaker 1:Jack said yeah, jack did too these two. I just say, you know what?
Speaker 2:I love. You know, since you've been on the show, lou, that you've developed a nervous disorder, that every time you're blood pressure gets up you have to jump off air.
Speaker 1:Oh, you missed the fucking episode.
Speaker 2:I got to go breathe into a paper. No, no, you missed the way he fucking snapped and knocked down.
Speaker 1:He fucking threw shit around. He knocked down his back. That was a fucking shit, he fucking lost it. It was hilarious.
Speaker 3:His back was falling off.
Speaker 4:It was like watching.
Speaker 1:Trent Reznor on stage with nine inch nails, he just destroyed it.
Speaker 4:My facade crumbled.
Speaker 1:It was falling down and he threw the mic. Oh yeah, I love it. I love it. Jack did that one time. Jack threw down the headphones once. Jack did all that Did I.
Speaker 4:I think you unplugged your camera too one time, didn't you?
Speaker 1:Yeah, jack, always tried to, but you always said you were so pissed.
Speaker 4:No, no you're feeling yourself pulling your mic out? Yeah, but nothing beats the tuna sandwich. That was a hug, that was a fucking tuna sandwich. I'm glad I caught that one. That was great, that was fucking great.
Speaker 1:It just came back with a sandwich I could go for a tuna sandwich right now I could too. I'm sorry. That shit was funny as hell. Lou, you know you can eat your dinner on the show, I don't care.
Speaker 4:You don't want to see me eat.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, All right, did you make your pick, Mark, All right.
Speaker 3:The reason I said fuck you when you said that was because Spotsgag's best songs he was backed up by Toto. That's what kills me. It's true, and I love Georgia, I love Spotsgag's, but I'm going to go with 99 just because I'm such a diehard Toto guy.
Speaker 1:So when I put that mix together, I was thinking to you, mark.
Speaker 3:I knew that would fuck you up a little bit, as I love Spots. I was 70s, oh my god.
Speaker 1:And that's why I put Rush and yes Together too, at the same time.
Speaker 2:My only song that I like with 99 is 99 Loft Balloons. We need it?
Speaker 1:Yeah, we're not many songs with the 99.
Speaker 2:By the way, the German version is better than the American version. It is Just like.
Speaker 1:Falco's Dirk Kammes Dirk.
Speaker 4:Kammes are.
Speaker 1:The German version. Oh, that's what it is.
Speaker 2:German version is better.
Speaker 1:Is that German or is that like it's? It's German. Is it German? Austrian?
Speaker 4:Austrian, yeah, oh.
Speaker 1:Austrian.
Speaker 4:Yeah, who was a band After the fire? They did the English speaking version.
Speaker 1:They did the English. Yeah, they realized the difference between the two. But after the fire. They had a big hit from that. Big hit from that. Yeah, all right, so we're going to. We can either break into movies or we can just move on with, because we're at two hours now.
Speaker 3:So, yeah, I think we better start. Yeah, I got to wake up at 4.30.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so we're going to go to the singles shots. All right, let's do the singles shots this week in 1984. We did it last week, but I think a couple things have changed. So, coming in at number 10 this week in 1984, melissa Etheridge, I'm the only one. That's a fucking good song.

And in the middle of it says, oh, marty, someday you find you love. I say, maybe you know that little verse right in the middle that came about by fucking David Bowie was in the studio. He's like, yeah, I'll hang out with you guys, and he's just talking to them and hanging out with them, kind of helping produce the song. And they said, would you, you know, what would you do to it? He said, well, I'd probably just have like someone talking in the middle of it, right, then he get up and walked out. They slitherly. They said he just got up, he's like I am out, and he just walked down. They were like, all right, well, how the fuck do we do this? And that's why that I put right into the middle of the song.
Speaker 1:It's a great suggestion oh fucking brilliant, brilliant, he does that. He does that a little, not quite often, but like China girl he does that little talk in the middle baby.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's done it on a few songs and if it fits, all right. So now that we got through the singles and the albums and we didn't talk about movies, we're talking, you know.
