Embark on a groovy trip to 1971 with us, your hosts of Milk Crates and Turntables, as we spin the wax with Mark Smith and Luke Colicchio from the Music Relish Show. From the quirky technical glitches that bring an authentic vinyl-spinning experience to our light-hearted banter over bell bottoms and soccer, we've got your ticket to a time when John Lennon's collaborations were charting and Elvis's home had just opened to the public. Tune in and let the nostalgic tunes and tales whisk you away to an era that continues to resonate in our hearts and headphones.
Feel the pulse of '71 as we lace up high heels for a stroll through music milestones, from Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" debut to the haunting melodies of the gothic soap opera "Dark Shadows." We'll share a laugh over the curiosities of rock history, debate the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame credentials of Grand Funk Railroad, and pay tribute to the unforgettable moments that defined the year's musical landscape. Our vibrant discussions span the emergence of bands like the Eagles and the poignant farewells to iconic groups, all while juggling the quirks of our live episode recording.
Finally, brace yourself for the ultimate Steely Dan desert island playlist challenge—where Mark and I go record for record on their most unforgettable tracks—and ponder their complicated musicianship that dares any cover band to match their finesse. As we bring this auditory adventure to a close, we're already tuning our guitars for next week's exploration of the seminal albums from '71. Thanks for riding the waves of sound with us, and remember, whether you're a diehard vinyl collector or a casual music enthusiast, there's always a seat at our turntable.

Speaker 2:Nothing's moving this is a rough night.
Speaker 1:It's already starting. It's already starting.
Speaker 2:This is like the way Liverpool played today. Shitty, I thought soccer was over. No, it's never over, it's all year round.

It's a lesser, less expensive mic than than the shore, of course, but Because this is what happens if you touch the mic, Don't get mad at us.
Speaker 2:tonight You'll be pounding that mic.
Speaker 3:If you're listening right at the beginning of the intro.
Speaker 1:You hear. I adjusted the mic, I just thought I'd try it out.
Speaker 3:It gives you a warmer sound. The other one's a little brittle.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I got to get one of you guys on to kind of get me back to where it used to be all the presets. You used to have the FM overnight TJ voice, and then I switched the Rodecaster, I got the Rodecaster 2, and I tried to set up the same settings. It's just not coming out like it did with the roadcaster one. Well, we'll figure it out. Yeah, it still sounds professional one way or another. I think it does. If anything, it's the only professional part of this show that was an insult to me and lou hey me too, I'm self-deprecating.
Speaker 2:I can be self-deprecating an insult to lou, not to me yeah, yeah, hey, mark, you got those 45s ready 45 jeez scott. Look what I got right here.

Uh-oh, if it was a guy, I'd say this I wouldn't have touched that, I wouldn't have physically touched that.
Speaker 3:The glory of love, the glory of love.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, it's a solid. It's supposed to be a solid cover for the 45, not the usual circle in the middle.
Speaker 3:I feel sorry for the guy who fits that hole.
Speaker 2:That's an Irish joke. I don't like it.
Speaker 1:Billy Prestonston. Nothing from nothing. You're in the lead now, buddy. Yeah, you have uh. Okay, the jones girls might kill you. Though. The jones girls might kill you. Lou has uh don. Featuring tony orlando huge, that's huge.

Speaker 3:So the last three times I won two weeks ago, then Mark won last week and Scott this week.
Speaker 1:I'm doing the.
Speaker 3:Trump.
Speaker 1:Mark won last week and Scott this week.
Speaker 3:I'm doing the Trump it is. It's the white guy over by.
Speaker 1:Trump. I pulled that one out at the end. That was a big one, that was good.
Speaker 3:You pulled that out of your ass. I mean Two noteworthy songs, not just one. Yeah, that's a double whammy right there. Do you remember when Kenny Rogers was in the first edition? It was just the first edition.
Speaker 1:And it was just the first edition yeah, yeah. That was about 72?
Speaker 3:67? 67, I think it started like 67. Whatever was my condition, my condition was in.
Speaker 1:It was like 68 and then he, he was, he became kind of the star of that group. That's why they put it kenny rogers in the yeah, we had a couple of songs.
Speaker 3:He was playing bass with them. Yeah, what'd you think of his chicken?
Speaker 1:kenny rogers roasters iron man on um liverpool, you suck.
Speaker 2:Oh, I have what?
Speaker 1:what did I think it was chicken.
Speaker 3:I don't know if I ever had it it's just chicken yeah yeah, I mean it wasn't fried chicken like kentucky fried or bojangles, it was just like a roast, like a chicken you could do at home in the oven yeah, like, like, so.
Speaker 1:So boston market, get the same chicken down here.
Speaker 3:Huh, didn't Kenny Rogers Roasters become Boston Market? I don't know.
Speaker 1:I don't think so, I don't know. No, some other company.
Speaker 2:They got rolled up into someone. I saw Kenny Rogers Roasters in Rockland County, Lou.
Speaker 1:Not long ago. They probably let individual franchise owners buy it out and just keep the name.
Speaker 2:Hell.
Speaker 1:We had one of the last friendlies in newsdale till about six months ago and you get one of these rotisserie chickens like boston market it's no different than like public supermarket down here, which is pretty good rotisserie chicken. Yeah, yeah, fucking road it's. It's the sides like boston market has the cream spinach and they got, you know, steakhouse. Yeah, yeah, they, they have good sides. That's what makes the difference. Yeah, all right. So let's see where are we at. We're at, uh, we're doing 1971. So there was a big switch up here, people, before the show we were going to do 1974. I had the intro all done and I get a call from lewis scott, your writers. Yeah, again, I get a call from Lou at like 645. He's like hey, you sound different on the phone.
Speaker 3:That's the last thing he says to me, that's the second time I've spoken on the phone with him.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah and he said you know, we've already done 1974. I was like, oh boy, we're going to adjust on the fly. So yes, and we did. Well, that's why I couldn't have a laptop.
Speaker 2:We're nimble like that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, this is odd. See, if I didn't have a laptop right, I took Mark's suggestion I wouldn't have been able to do that quick adjustment. You know, this is interesting. Nothing happened in music in the month of January in 1971. Yeah, yeah, nothing in music in the month of January in 1971. Really, yeah, yeah, nothing. It starts on February 1st.
Speaker 3:Wait a minute. Albums released January.
Speaker 1:Well, we haven't done albums, oh.
Speaker 3:This is events.
Speaker 1:This is events.
Speaker 3:Oh, music events that happened in 1971. Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1:So, after months of feuding in the press, ginger Baker and Elvin Jones hold a drum battle at Laceum. Did you ever hear of that, lou?
Speaker 3:I've seen the ones he did with him, Art Blakey. Well who won this one, do you know? I can't tell. I can't tell. I mean Now, who's Elvin Jones? He's a jazz drummer.
Speaker 1:Okay, very well known.
Speaker 3:You know, I think of the two. I like the one, I thought the one with Art Blakey. I thought Ginger kind of edged him out a little bit. But the one with Elvin. I can't.
Speaker 1:You got to be a real drum connoisseur to fucking figure out who wins a drumming battle.
Speaker 3:As a drummer.
Speaker 1:Am I wrong here, Mark?
Speaker 2:I can agree with you. You know if Neil Peart did a drum battle with Phil Rudd. I could tell who the winner is?
Speaker 3:Well, that's one thing, Lou knows things that we can't hear. But while Elvin, he was a pure jazz drummer, you know, ginger, they call him a jazz drummervin, he was a pure jazz drummer, you know, ginger, they call him a jazz drummer, which he was, but he was something else entirely besides that he had a jazz style.
Speaker 1:He learned jazz drummers always make the best drums in rock. I think a lot of ways. Yeah, I do you know.
Speaker 3:So some of the guys like a lot of the metal, guys like more stiffer ones. You can tell they don't have that no, that's why I hands. Yeah, that's why the alex van halen was a much more nimble drummer than he appears to be. Yeah, um, because he did have the background. You know, hot for teacher is big band heavy metal drumming.
Speaker 1:Yeah, big band hard rock drumming what did you think of that video I sent you the other day, the the van halen brothers being interviewed in sweden, and they're speaking, uh, dutch, oh yeah right, yeah, holland, they were in, were in. Holland and they were speaking Dutch. That's where they're from right.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah that was interesting man. Yeah, I've seen that before You've seen it.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:I'd never seen that. I was like, whoa, this is pretty cool. Yeah, it's weird. I do like the other one where they're dissing David Lee Roth because in that mark yeah maybe the brothers like people accepting their, their grammys or whatever, and david roth is like dancing behind him, just being yeah, that was a jerk.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was, that was a douchebag move, yeah, and eddie.
Speaker 3:Now let's talk about eddie's, just like you know. Come on, man you know, being very reasonable about it.
Speaker 1:But yeah well, david lee roth's a douche. I I said this recently the older I get, the more I look at his young when videos when he was younger fucking douche. It's almost good that social media wasn't around back then, because he might not have had the following because he really was a douche.
Speaker 2:They were not that good. Live with him. I've seen videos and I was like, oh, I'm gonna see classic and all he is. He's talking to the audience. At least the stuff with sammy.
Speaker 3:They would play songs, you know, I mean like he had a you know, the first few albums, yeah, but he, like I said, even still like whatever he brought to van halen didn't really like he couldn't, they couldn't have gone on further with him really I mean, I wasn't the biggest fan of the latter years with sammy hager, but I think they were better. But I think they wrote better songs.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they became all roth wanted to do was fucking covers yeah, yeah dive it down, but they do covers.
Speaker 3:They did covers great.
Speaker 1:They should have did a covers album well, that's what they should have done an album, but not like every album okay now we're gonna put a cover on here do another kink song.
Speaker 3:Yeah, now he does an ep when I was about 25. So so I was 25. What 71 I think um?
Speaker 1:no, no, I was like when I was like, like in 86, I was 25.
Speaker 3:I saw a picture of van halen. Like I was. I was trying to be skeptical. This whole rock and roll, like you got a party all the time and davy the russ thing was just like you know. You're supposed to go roller skating at 7 in the morning in Central Park while Eddie's hungover, trying to write a song, because Eddie was up all night writing songs. I saw one of their party pictures. It was like midgets or dwarves, whatever you want to call them, but I looked you could see underneath the table. It just a big shtick. At that point I realized I said this whole thing is a farce, you know I think eddie was really drinking.
Speaker 2:I think it was david could not have sustained what he was doing, supposedly drinking that much. I couldn't see. No, no, my brother's from the 84 tour.
Speaker 3:He was hammered and it was shit. Alex was a shit and alex was always drinking alex was a heavy, I don't know how people can drink and play drums like that. I don't know I gotta have a beer maybe, but I would never do it in a professional gig. But um, I don't say that you tell me how a drummer get up there hammered and just play the drums like moon? Yeah, not, you know it's all balanced and it's all finesse, but I don't.
Speaker 1:You know they're great piss artists, you know rothwood eventually lost his voice too oh yeah, he got out of van halen at the right time, because he had a couple of years then he disappeared. Then you start seeing him losing. He loses his hair a little bit, so he gets a short, kind of a short haircut and he was not seeing that that rock god that we saw in the cover of van halen one uh start to just kind of look like a uh, and then as he got older he fucking got weirder looking.
Speaker 1:Yeah it's like the video of him being interviewed and his fucking bottom tooth is missing. That's really yeah. There's a video that he's had, like his bottom, one of his bottom teeth is gone. Wow, it's like what? Yeah, he he's. You know what he does. Now he I follow him on facebook.
Speaker 3:It's actually Like what Does that look like Dr Smith in Lost in Space, as he?
Speaker 2:got older. Yeah, you know what he does. Now I follow him on Facebook. It's actually weird. He put like a three-hour video of himself dancing to some old 20s song and it was looped over and over for three hours. You just see him going blap, blap, blap, blap, blap, blap, blap, blap.
Speaker 1:He just dances all the time and he doesn't even dance good, he dances like a vaudevillian, I mean that's they were saying.
Speaker 3:now he looks like he's playing at the retirement home talent show.
Speaker 1:Some of these rock people just didn't age well. February 3rd 1971, davy Jones announces he's leaving the Monkees. Ooh.
Speaker 3:Seismic shift.
Speaker 1:I can do better than that he was the first to leak with the monkeys yeah, on february 8th 1971, bob dylan's hour-long documentary film eat the document is premiered at new york's academy of music. The film includes footage from dylan's 1966 uk tour. Uh, february 16th 1971, no have you ever seen it, scott?

He's like 40 years old in her yeah you guys remember he probably deserved a beating for being a fucking beta male, oh she definitely beat him.
Speaker 3:She whipped his ass. Good, yeah, good. At least he didn't try to sue her, though, because that would have been the ultimate degradation.
Speaker 1:Well, he had more money than her. Yeah really, he was still just a spike. They were married by that point, so she already had her fingers in his. Do you remember the song Scorpio?
Speaker 3:Yeah, scorpio, it was like a fucking electronica song right, there was a 2002 one, but the original one was released. It was 1971. It's by Dennis Coffey and the Detroit Guitar Band. It was kind of a funk instrumental.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. Allison Lundy said I used to run home to watch Dark Shadows. You know I still watch that.
Speaker 1:I'm on episode like fucking 320. I watch it. I started watching it when I retired in 2019. I watched it way from the beginning. Is that black and white? It's on, uh, it's on amazon, amazon prime. Okay, right, right. So the first like two seasons of black and white, right, yeah, and barnabas isn't in there. There's really no monsters, maybe a ghost, but it was just this kind of soap opera-ish. You know you had the kid. David was a psychotic little bastard trying to kill his father. You know he had shit like that. But then it gets into color and Amazon has commercials at that point. Right, yeah, because that's when it became popular, when Barnabas came on. I'm still watching it. They're like 25 minute episodes, right, and it's like I'm like, how many fucking episodes are there? I watched two a day for like two years and I'm still not done.
Speaker 3:How many years did it run?
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 3:Did it go into the 80s?
Speaker 1:600 episodes or something. Yeah, then I gotta get into the movies.
Speaker 3:Huh, it had a long run where the where the soaps on within on a daily schedule or was like weekly, yeah, yeah, and they they recorded them and they didn't really fix shit because they didn't think they would be seen again.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's why, when there was errors in there, they just said, fucking run with it, record it, run with it, and you know, no one's ever going to watch this shit again, anyways no, but you know we talked a little while back about the planet of the apes in the timeline.
Speaker 1:Right, you want to see a fucked up time? Try to follow the timeline of dark shadows. Allison, do your homework. I, I want to report next week. You have milk crate homework. Go on and Google the Dark Shadows timeline and watch the fucking mess. They had no continuity. They were like, okay, we're going to have a seance, then we're going to just do fucking three seasons back in 1721. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1:And it's all the same actors, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:That was the beauty of it. Dan Curtis was like I'm not bringing in new actors, you're just going to play a different part, you know, but follow the timeline of Dark Shadows it's. You can't figure it out.
Speaker 3:Nobody seemed to care Was Barnabas Collins. Was that set in the modern era?
Speaker 1:for the most part, yes yes, he comes into play and it's like 1967 or 68 or something and there's the portrait in the foyer of this giant fucking house, but they only used the drawing room, a a bedroom and the hall, like the front foyer you never really see. You see a couple of other scenes in other parts of the house, but nothing else. They got like oh, the whole west wing is shut down and whatever you know it's, it's.
Speaker 2:It's amazing like we're gonna have this show. We're gonna have. Barnabas collins is one of the major characters. He's gonna scare the shit out of everybody. We're not going to have him until the third season.
Speaker 1:Yeah, You've got to follow. There's a documentary on Doc Shadows also. I highly recommend it. It's really interesting how Dan Curtis did this and how he got this show done. I mean, it's an iconic show. It's definitely part of pop culture. Oh yeah, history uh, but people forget. Bonobus was a fucking pussy. This dude was a pussy straight up wasn't he in love with somebody?
Speaker 1:well, dracula, he's in love with everybody he had like five love interests that he could never fucking marry because he's a vampire did. Did he ever kill anyone? He kidnapped, he kidnapped. He fucking held hostage. He had them chained in a fucking back room. Yeah, he was psycho, can't do that anymore. He never drank. He can't do that anymore, but Barnabas never like you know he killed a few people in the village but they it started off good like with the blood on the neck, how he got bit and you know the whole thing. And then just he turned into a pussy Because what they did was remember the whole storyline where he went through the treatment to not be a vampire anymore.
Speaker 2:No, he wanted to be a vampire. I went through this whole thing. I never watched it.
Speaker 1:So they covered all the bases. So you had the vampire right. Then they had Adam, right, adam, as in Adam and Eve, he was a character that was created in the mold of Frankenstein, right, adam was a fucking psycho. This is big dude. They had this big dude, blam, and he was just a psychotic fucking killer, right, and his storyline literally just fucking ends like disappears, he goes into the woods, he runs away and then they just totally move on. Adam has never fucking sawed.
Speaker 2:he's in probably like 15 episodes, right and you think, you know, you're thinking, is he gonna come back later? Now? He never comes back.
Speaker 1:They, they danker, move on, yeah, move on that people.
Speaker 3:The people are gonna forget no one's ever gonna watch this garbage again.
Speaker 1:Anyways, the timeline, being aware they had the werewolf right, they had the wolfman there was a wolfman Really. Yep, they had a wolfman werewolf. That thing scared the shit out of me. That was the scariest part of that show. I got to know what it looked like. I didn't know that. Yeah, the werewolf he was the. His hair was perfect, right.
Speaker 3:His hair was perfect, he's got the dog.
Speaker 1:Nose like the button, nose like the dog. He looks like the werewolf from Lon Chaney right, yeah, okay. And then they had gypsies, they had the ring right, they had the curse the hand. The hand was like a ring on it.
Speaker 2:Yeah the hand.
Speaker 1:And the hand would float. The hand would float around, right.
Speaker 2:That scared me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, would float around. Right, that scared me. Yeah, if you control the hand, you had some sort of power. Uh, I don't know if they had a mummy. They had a zombie. They had a zombie. They had a phoenix. They had a lady that was a phoenix, which was roger collins's wife, that they never really got a backstory on her exactly.
Speaker 1:A phoenix is like uh, they a phoenix from the flame, like they control fire. And okay, you know, uh, they had a phoenix from the flame, they control fire. Oh, okay, they had a phoenix Dude, they had all these fucking crazy characters. They would just write them in. It was a daytime horror show. What do you?
Speaker 3:got. The werewolf is hysterical. He's got a serious coif going too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, I tell you.
Speaker 3:His hair is perfect. It is. It's huge. He's got some big-ass hair. He's kind of scary-looking. Yeah, it scared the shit out of me. There's one scene I never forgot he's got the little doggy nose, though Dude is in the college.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I told you, the little button nose, like the little dog nose. There's one scene where there's a cottage. They had a cottage right and one of the characters lived there. Yeah, there you go, and it was black. Like they fucking did the makeup black.
Speaker 2:It looked English though.
Speaker 1:This dude was living in the cottage right, and it's on the estate and the lights are out or something, and he turns and it's thundering out as it always is around there, and all of a sudden he has this big like window it's like a french windows right and you see this thing just show up in the shadow outside right and and you just see it going back and forth and it's kind of like making all these weird movements and it's a shadow going back and the guy turns and looks and all of a sudden the fucking werewolf busts through the fucking window. Fucking terrified me, never forgot that scene and I got to see it again and I was like it's still a creepy fucking scene yeah it was still a creepy scene.
Speaker 2:It was bust through that window and I'm surprised for that for daytime that they could get away with what they showed back then there was really no.
Speaker 1:You know, they weren't showing blood or anything with sex or anything it was just like then you had quentin collins. Quentin became a big deal. He became with the sideburns. He had the fuck the chops. Yeah, yeah, chops. Right, it was your vampire no, quentin was just a straight up fucking asshole. He was just that asshole character.
Speaker 3:What was his relation to Barnabas?
Speaker 1:He was so cousins. Barnabas was everybody's cousin. He was a cousin of the Collins family. They inbred, ah okay.
Speaker 3:Allison says so what do you want me to?
Speaker 1:do? I want you to Google the timeline and see if you can figure it out Next week I'll, you know, just pop on and say either you can figure it out or you couldn't. But I couldn't, the timeline goes everywhere.
Speaker 2:Ali, if you figure it out, tell me. I'll write it all down. It's a puzzle.
Speaker 1:But yeah so.
Speaker 3:How god awful was the Dark Shadows movie.
Speaker 1:The original movies that they made. They were the same what was Johnny Depp.
Speaker 3:Oh, that was a disgrace, that was an absolute disgrace, it was disrespectful, it was, it really was.
Speaker 1:And I mean this, I'm not being joking, it totally shit on a great, you know an iconic pop culture series. They just Fucking Tim Burton, just made a big joke of it.
Speaker 2:It's kind of like when Will Ferrell he went too far so I was like he did some movies where he spoofed old stuff.
Speaker 1:It's like leave it alone yeah, land of the lost you should have just left that alone, yeah or uh, I love land of the lost. I love that show so land of the lost. Did you ever notice, did you? Do you remember land of the lost, where the father all of a sudden disappears? Yes, and the uncle appears right, yeah, right now. You know what happened there was a contract, so the actor.
Speaker 1:No, the actor wanted more money. He's like yo I'm fucking, I'm in every scene here like I'm. I'm the father it's, I'm the guy running this show, right, and they purposely left the mother out.
Speaker 1:They left the mother out of the series, out of the whole scenario because they thought it would it of the series, out of the whole scenario because they thought it would. It would be better with just the father and the two kids, right. So that's why that's that was set up. But the, the, the father just disappears, he goes into some fucking time warp and the uncle, his brother, fucking pops up and they just kind of carry on like that and the kids are like cool, it's Uncle.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're like where's Dad.
Speaker 1:Oh, Dad, I don't know, I'm the Uncle oh okay, Uncle, let's go and because the actor I forget his name that played the father wanted more money. He's like yo, you got to pay me.
Speaker 3:They're like nah, we're going having it, they got like it's a fucking ridiculous show.
Speaker 1:What are we going to pay you a lot of money for you know a lot of green screening, a lot of green screening.
Speaker 1:Yeah, a lot of uh claymation it did. It actually wasn't a cheap show to make, right, right, they had two sets. They had two sets, uh, one was just a big green screen and they were really good actually with the special effects in that show, because they could, they, they can make it look like they shrunk them down because you had, uh, grumpy, the big tyrannosaurus rex that everyone, every episode grumpy would show up either in a very, uh uh, appropriate time.
Speaker 1:You're just trying to kill them, but he scares off something else. Grumpy would try to stick his face in their cave.
Speaker 2:Oh, that scared the shit out of me.
Speaker 1:Grumpy would make cameos right. Then they had this other set, which was all rock and fake rock and that whole thing.
Speaker 2:That's where they were in the jungle, with the sleaze stacks chasing them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and you know how many sleaze stacks there really were Six, three. There was only three costumes made and they did special effects to make it look like when there was more than three of them. Only one of those costumes exists now.
Speaker 2:Only one of those costumes exists.
Speaker 1:I think you've got it, Scott. I wish I did. Would you wear it? I'd rip the fuck out of that.
Speaker 3:I'd put that on.
Speaker 1:It'd be like that thing would dissolve because all that rubber it's old rubber.
Speaker 3:They're thin little guys. Was there a Sleece Stack cave? Was that one of the sets?
Speaker 1:Yeah, they were in the cave and they had the crystal in there and they had the one Sleece Stack that exists, the one costume is the head of the sleep. Maybe had the gold, like, uh, it looked like the fucking the apes, the planet of the apes, with the orangutans war, right, kind of a different color than everybody else. Um, yeah, yeah, that that stuff exists, what?
Speaker 3:about the dog face boy. Was that the one furry guy chaka?

The amount was that sum that a promoter claimed to have paid Cooper for a 1975 Australia tour he never made. The tour settled when it was found that the promoter did not fulfill his part of the agreement, so they waited all that time two years for him to come back to Australia and they snuck up on him.
Speaker 1:He just didn't show up for a tour.
Speaker 3:Yeah Well, you don't show up for work, but you have a work plan.

On this day in 1973, the Beach Boys appeared at the Omni Coliseum in Atlanta, georgia. The Beach Boys were a very low ebb in the popularity in America and this show proved a financial disaster for the promoter, with less than 3,000 tickets sold for the 16,000 capacity venue.

Speaker 1:I'm going to tell you a quick thing about Todd. I was telling somebody this story the other night about how I met Todd, and I don't know how it came up and I forget who it was Maybe it was my wife and I said well, we haven't seen each other in 30 years. Over 30 years we haven't seen each other, it's like, but we're still. You know as tight as we were when, when we were stationed together, et cetera. And I said so. The story with Todd is todd and I met each other in uh law enforcement academy in the air force. Uh, they were selling these um gym bags and there was a little canvas, like the 80s canvas gym bags with the long like uh, uh canvas handle that wrapped around the is sewed to the, and they were round right, they were like book bags.
Speaker 1:They were like, okay, they'll be selling outside there and I'll never forget. They were yellow with the white strap and they had like the law enforcement air force badge on it and this down there and I think they were like 10 bucks. They were asking 10 bucks for these things. Right, and I'm just happening to be standing next to todd, this fucking redheaded arnold schwarzenegger, right, right, and Todd can look kind of like standoffish. He can just like. That's just the way he carried himself. Todd's a hard guy to get. He has to really get to know you to like you.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:That's wise, that's smart.
Speaker 1:No, yeah he was just. It's just, todd was just that. But you know, he's standing there and I didn't even know that about him until I started being friends with him and he said, oh shit, I don't have any money. And I said, I just said to him I go, I'll pay for it, just pay me. He goes, really. I said, yeah, he's from LA, I'm from Boston, right, right, you don't trust that many people, a lot of people are not really that nice. I said, yeah, yeah, I happen to have 20 bucks on me. And I said just pay me back. And he said, okay, all right.
Speaker 1:And I boiled it down to this that $10, that $10 investment changed my life, literally changed my life, set the course for my life. Because it was because of Todd that I ended up going to the Philippines, because he got an in with the people that were getting the orders. They said you're going to the Philippines, who do you want to take with you? Cause that's a whole story in itself. Todd said I want to take McLean with me, you know. So he got me my orders to the Philippines, which changed my entire life, literally changed my entire life. So a $10 investment to a total stranger. I never really put it into perspective like that it was lending somebody $10 and we had a lifelong friendship. Because of him, my life went the way it did, and it was a beautiful thing, always be nice to people, people.
Speaker 3:You never know. Did he ever pay you back?
Speaker 1:I don't know if he paid me back.
Speaker 3:There's 30 years of interest involved in this 30 years of interest Compounded daily.

Speaker 3:That's right.
