Speaker 3:uh, so just to show you how old-fashioned I've become, I've bagged the computer so we're talking 88 tonight. So I actually I printed out all 44 pages from wikipedia. I actually printed it out when you really, when you have a printer at your disposal, I guess yeah but I'm getting old-fashioned here, I just want to read it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well okay, no, no laptop. Yeah, I got it over here, I can. Yeah, what happened to your wine glass mark? Uh?
Speaker 3:I went through a six wine glasses in a month. I am a klutz. I do not do it. When I'm having the wine, it's the next morning, so the last wine glass this morning I went to wash it and the bottom caught the edge of the sink. Bam, so that one's done. I actually bury them. I have ceremonies. I bury them out back. Why don't you just?
Speaker 1:get a plastic one man, oh no.
Speaker 3:Look, I know I drink yellowtail. I know it's screw top. Just get a plastic cup, man. I can't. It's got to be glass, so wine in a whiskey glass wine in a whiskey glass exactly sounds like a thin lizzy song yeah, well, there you go.
Speaker 1:Or an acdc song um 1988 yeah 1988. Uh, let's start off on january. Oh, you know what we gotta do 45 poker. Just that you want to wait for lou? No, fuck lou, we'll give him his cards. He doesn't have to be here. He's lost before and not been here. So there you go right here and here's mine right here. Yeah, there it is. Uh, just drink right from the glass bottle yeah well you know what I've done?
Speaker 1:it on the show, yeah yeah, all right, here we go. We'll start with me this week. Let's start with me. Yeah, it's always about you, it's always about me. Exactly, perfectly fine by the way. By the way, I I have a big announcement, big announcement. So my Vets Connection podcast went over 1,000 downloads today. That was pretty fast.
Speaker 1:Awesome Congratulations. Yeah, it went over 1,000. Actually, overnight it went over 1,000 downloads, so I'm happy for that. I knew it was going to go big. There's a little bit of a future to it. There's a little bit of a bright future to it. Down the road, as it comes, I'll let you know.
Speaker 1:But I'm also delving I think I'm 95% sure, if not 100% sure. I'm delving into the nonprofit world. Good, I'm going to start a nonprofit-profit called vets connection podcast foundation and what I'm going to do is I'm going to teach non-profits that work with veterans how to start and maintain a podcast from the beginning, from the conceptual part of it, yeah, all the way to the time they upload it and everything goes. And you know there's a lot that goes in between those two moments, those two oh yeah, bookends, yep, yeah. So I have the, the, the right people in line, and I have a buddy doing a business plan big thing for free, and I get, yeah, good, I think I'm, uh, I'm jumping into it and and I'm going to teach veterans to do part to how to podcast so you're taking a huge step for them, to help them, because there's probably people out there that have very good podcasts of mine and they this is what makes them stop.
Speaker 3:They the whole process of getting it online, how to maintain things. It's huge and I bet you a lot of people give up.
Speaker 1:They have to get over the fact. Now it depends on their content. If you're doing something like I am, and I interview nonprofits and veterans nonprofits specifically that work with veterans so my content, it doesn't matter. About the downloads, they're good, everybody wants them. But if one veteran hears one of my podcasts and says you know what, like a friend of mine called me today I'm not bullshitting, you call me today he's a veteran army veteran.
Speaker 1:One of my episodes was trauma-conscious yoga and he said dude, the issues are in the tissues. Because that's what the yoga teacher said Trauma is in the tissues, it's in your tissues, right? And he said he goes, I'm going to try that for my. I'm having a lot of anxiety and I'm going to look into it. So if you reach, if an episode reaches, one veteran, that's a successful podcast, absolutely, absolutely. It's not too many people look at numbers and they look at stats and if it gets to one person, it's successful. Yeah, one person it's successful. Yeah, you know what? If this podcast that we do, and you, perry and Lou, if one person walks away saying you know what, that was a fucking funny episode. And I learned that, yeah, you know the group. Yes, ba-ba-boom, that's a successful podcast. Yep, great. Just they got to bring it down to the bottom level and just say it's if people learn from it, it's successful.
Speaker 3:I don't even mind if somebody argues with me and says like you got this wrong yeah, I'm fine with that yeah, because it creates.
Speaker 1:It creates conversation and engagement yeah so I'm going to make the move and, uh, I got some ducks already lined up. I got good advisors and good we'll see where it goes. Awesome, we'll see where it goes. And you know, big, big plans, big plans, but the best laid plans of mice and men. But this isn't. This is going to go, this is going to happen yeah this is definitely going to happen.
Speaker 1:You've already got a thousand downloads and that's just from that and that's so. My the podcast will won't. It's, it's part of it, but it's not going to be what the foundation is about. Right, the podcast is the product, right, of my learning over the last five years, and the foundation and the people that I deal with will benefit from that. Yeah, because you know, when we do this, we're always learning. Yeah, we're always learning how to do this and you always have to change things up and you always have to move it along and and, uh, I think giving teaching a veteran how to do a podcast listen, it doesn't matter if anyone listens or one person listens, you know, yeah, they're doing it and, like you said, it teaches them. You need a lot of confidence, a lot of self-confidence to do these things. Oh, yeah, I know, especially live. I'm not going to recommend that. I'm not going to recommend that, I'm not going to recommend start off on a live stream. That's how you do it. So, yeah, that's the news, that's the news. We're working, working on it and I will keep you guys posted as it goes. Sure, excellent, yeah, but in the meantime, on January 3rd 1988, which is what we're talking about tonight, oh, you're not doing poker. Oh the poker. That's right. Yeah, here we go.

Speaker 3:No, because I'm so sick of that song.
Speaker 1:I never liked it. I never liked it. I was never a Sammy Hart fan until later on, after van halen, when I started to, when I got over the whole david lee roth thing. Oh, by the way, that fucking clown, that clown, he fucking put out a dance video. Oh, he does those all the time him dancing to a and he is it the one that goes for three hours?
Speaker 3:There's one that's three hours, him dancing all over some.
Speaker 1:No, this was a popular song, he had to pay for the rights to it and he starts. He just does all this stupid dancing. Yeah, I know, like I think I've said this, the more I see video of him when we were younger, from when we were all younger, the more I say this him when we were younger, from when we were all younger, yeah, the more I say this guy is a fucking fraud he.
Speaker 3:He knew he's not a dummy, he's an idiot. He was always an idiot. I'm reading this book, ted templeman. You know he produced a lot of stuff right and he talks about david. I think he knew how to make rock and roll work for him. He's like he's he. You can call him a con artist. Yeah, he's really not a rock and roller, but he knew how to make rock and roll work for him. You can call him a con artist. He's really not a rock and roller, but he knew how to make it work.
Speaker 1:Well, you grow the hair long you scream, you work out and you got the fucking greatest guitar player in the world and two of the top bass players slash drummers in the world, because they were with Van Halen, which puts them in a category, and they were both intricate in their roles in Van Halen.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So you have to put them up there in the upper echelons, right? Mm-hmm. But this guy, this guy, you know what he is. He's what Pete Townsend referred to. He referred to Roger Daltrey at one point, as he's just our lead singer until he did Tommy, yeah, he said before that. He said all he was was a lead singer playing with three geniuses.
Speaker 1:That's what he said yeah he was just a lead singer player. He brought nothing to the table, he was just the lead singer. But when tommy came out he said that's when he found his position in the band that's when they said, okay, you've, you've made it now.
Speaker 1:And he, he, he. If you notice the early who and then the Tommy and the post-Tommy, he was a bigger voice, he was a bigger presence. He was you know, he caught fire and he just went with it. He filled in the spot. That was just him being a lead singer. David Lee Roth was a showman, he was a talker, he had MTV to promote him, he knew how to do all that. But when you see video of him now from back then in the interviews, he got that stupid smile. He always got that stupid smile on his face and we didn't want to see it because he was David Lee Roth.
Speaker 3:I know and we thought he was a heavy metal singer. And we thought yeah, yeah, he's a heavy metal singer. And we thought he was a heavy metal singer. And we thought, yeah, yeah he's a heavy metal singer?
Speaker 3:No, he's not. Yeah. Yeah, I've recently. In the last few years I've found some YouTube videos. I never really saw Van Halen live with David Lee Roth. I never saw him in concert, so I watched the ESS Festival. I couldn't even watch it Like he just talks. You know, yeah, and you know eddie's great, but it's basically just a medley of riffing and you know he's letting the audience sing.
Speaker 1:I can't stand. He fucking did. He always wanted to do remakes. Yeah, that's fucking talentless. That means I don't want to write a song. Okay, you know what I mean he's, it's, it's, it's his way of of you know it's what were his big hits off when he went solo California Girls and Just a Gigolo.
Speaker 3:Yep Yankee, rose Yankee.
Speaker 1:Rose was okay, in the big picture, that's the anomaly. That's the last hit he had, yeah, yeah. And if it wasn't for Steve Vai, that song wouldn't have been a hit. That was a monster album and tour. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he needed Steve Vi to keep him relevant and Billy Sheehan on bass. Yes, and they never really got credit. Yeah, you know, it was the David Lee Roth show. Yep, fuck him, fuck him. Sammy is way cooler.
Speaker 3:Is he going to call in like a certain member of the gogos hey scott, fuck you yeah, yeah, uh.
Speaker 1:January 3rd 1988. The cinemax television special roy orbison and friends, a black and white night recorded on september 30th 1987 at the coconut grove in la, is broadcast classic did you ever see that?

Speaker 3:on mike on, mike love. I'm gonna say mike love yeah because he challenged the rolling stones, that and the. The final straw for me was when they all reunited a few years back and they were touring, yeah, and all the guys were like saying let's keep doing this, and he said, nope, stopping it because he wanted to get his version back together, because he made more money. Yeah, they could have played longer. Why not let Brian Wilson play with them longer? Yeah.

Speaker 2:And well, he did, you know he actually went on stage with them a lot in that period. You know he was, he could sing, he had a good voice.

Speaker 2:Did it hang him? Did it hang him Well they didn't.

Speaker 3:It was horrible. They're not good with the reunions until they did the O2 Arena. They just didn't have a good track record.

Speaker 1:Doesn't sound like a good, it sounds okay, but nothing uh, a lot of my friends went.
Speaker 3:They said docking were horrible. But docking were never a good live band and uh, I think probably was no crocus let's put it that way yes, right, probably, probably the best would probably have been metallica, because that was their prime.
Speaker 2:They were young, yeah, yeah I think, docking at that time he might have had the title for biggest asshole in rock and roll. Still, does he does. Yeah, he was. He was a douchebag, I think, yeah oh docking yeah, don docking yeah the great part was that they took the band name and his name with it.

You know who it is and the way they filmed that like fucking 10 times I'm not surprised. So they had to keep stopping in the crowd and they tell the crowd alright, get ready. You know, here we go, we're gonna do this again, which I'm sure actually got the crowd even pumped up even more because they're getting to be a part of this whole thing.
Speaker 3:Sure.

I don't know if that was staged now.

You have no idea about mushrooms in the fucking world that's underneath the the soil and how they communicate. They have their own like uh uh information super highway mushrooms are fucking amazing. My wife said you need to watch this. So we sat down and she watched 10 minutes of it and stopped. She goes you need to watch this. So we sat down and she watched 10 minutes of it and stopped. She goes you need to watch this. And I.
Speaker 1:We were just absolutely mesmerized by it now, as mushrooms are a fungus right yes yeah, okay, so the basis of the last of us that great show is that they talk to each other through the fungus, because the fungus that's where they get, because they have literally an information superhighway under the soil and like mold, you know, it has a kind of a hostile disposition.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the sorts you know.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I watched the first episode. I thought it was interesting. The beginning is terrifying. The premise is very plausible, almost.
Speaker 3:It turns into a drama.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:It achieved what walking dead couldn't achieve. They don't stick in one scene for three episodes, they move on walking dead.
Speaker 1:They talk about jumping the shark. I know, um, all right, here we go. Uh lou. You make the call granting wishes or talking to the dead Superpower. I think I'll talk to the dead.

Speaker 3:Bob Weir's still alive, that's right.
Speaker 2:He's grateful.
Speaker 1:Well when he dies Lou can talk to him.
Speaker 3:Lou, you just hurt my feelings.
Speaker 1:But what makes you think they want to talk back, what makes you think they'll actually have a conversation with?
Speaker 2:you. I'm thinking something like Ouija board stories from the beyond.
Speaker 1:I'm thinking Okay, it's your superpower.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 3:Mark, it was talking to the dead and what Granting wishes. Granting wishes sounds cool because you feel like you could help somebody, but somebody can ask for a wish that could be very damaging, so I'd rather talk to the dead. I am very interested in that side of things, so I would like to ask somebody with their experiences again, doesn't mean they're going to talk to you, that's or why they or they might be pissed off and yeah, or they might be fucking lunatics.
Speaker 1:Yeah, who knows what happens beyond that, but messing with you granting wishes is one of those. You know, you've seen the, the stories where, like they're not very, they're not specific, yeah yeah about the wish yeah, and you have to be very specific about a wish right. You know there could be, just be careful what you ask for. The monkey paw. Yeah, the monkey paw, that's right. Okay, lou, I'm going to go with granting wishes. By the way, I don't have any need to talk to fucking dead people. What?
Speaker 4:if they want to talk to you and you're not interested. I think you open up a can of worms.
Speaker 2:Well, they can just say I don't want to talk to you, Some dead people will talk to you.
Speaker 1:But I've been dead for a hundred years.
Speaker 2:I need to talk to somebody I'm thinking relatives I've never met. You know, I'd like to talk to you, so what if you get to the?
Speaker 1:point where they start fucking piling up like the kid from Sixth Sense. You look and they're all waiting outside his house.
Speaker 3:They're sad they died.
Speaker 1:Yeah outside his house. They're sad they died to him. Yeah, I mean yeah, or you know, just do one-on-one meeting, because those motherfuckers gossip those fucking dead people gossip have all eternity to make shit up.
Speaker 3:Yeah, hey, lou, when you were growing up, did you ever play ouija when you were growing up?
Speaker 1:yeah, I think we all did and we all faked it, and there was so many of the group that faked it all I.
Speaker 3:I didn't because my, my irish grandmother was very, very. She said if you talk to a spirit it's not going to leave. And then I read years later a lot of people say that like you may not want to be doing that. If it's true, you know, so I always I didn't, my sister did all right, uh, here we go.

Speaker 3:Yeah, yes, scott, I was thinking of you because there's there's a show on, I think, discovery, uh, border patrol, and then the commercial for it to go and you see the, uh, the, the, um handcuffs going and then you see him pulling like kilos from cars oh, we got a big one here you know, yep, yep, um, I'm gonna go with human lie detector, because right now I'm just sick of lies.
Speaker 1:I want to call out the bullshit I, I, I was, um, I think I would just go with sonar because I I don't want to know if someone's lying to me. I'd maybe you're just better off not knowing sometimes yeah you know how much trouble can that start to cause you? Well, I know you're lying. And then they just keep denying and you just keep, and you hold that anger.
Speaker 3:Exactly.
Speaker 1:Just let me talk to the fucking whales like Aquaman. It's really good for a marriage. I can talk to dolphins then.

Speaker 1:Yeah right, you just go to the beach and just say, fuck this world, I'm just gonna go hang under.
Speaker 3:I'm gonna put some weights on my waist but of course on a weight belt and just kind of go out there and and just everything in slow motion it's not a natural environment, so you may come up against some shit you don't want to see, like yeah, now underwater breathing doesn't mean, the fucking water isn't freezing cold, of course, yeah don't forget that George Costanza knew what cold was and sleeps with the fishes means something new now there's no wrong answers here.

Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, uh, all right, lou, you make the call on unnatural good luck or healing others. Healing others, healing others. Yeah, so you're not. You're not a selfish bastard. No, no, look at, mark thinks about I mean, I gotta think about it too. To tell you the truth, unnatural.
Speaker 2:Good luck, that's not.
Speaker 3:That's a hard one, but I know, you know what, right now right now I could use some unnatural good luck, but I get joy from making people happy, so helping others, I mean healing people, healing others.
Speaker 2:Yeah, head to saint jude's.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you'd have to be very, very discreet about that too. Oh, oh yeah. People will be clawing at you.
Speaker 3:Oh my God, can you imagine, during COVID the government would?
Speaker 2:take you, the government would take you and just lock you in.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you have to be very, but somebody's inevitably going to find out the pharmaceutical companies would hate you. Like the Green Mile. All of a sudden you just show up. Yeah, exactly right, that's right.
Speaker 1:That's right, just show up. Yeah, exactly right, that's, that's right, that's right. Yeah, you just every, every way you show up, somebody all of a sudden comes back, like from from the death's door. Yeah, they're like hey, it's kind of a coincidence. And so what do you do with that? Do you drive to you? Do you give your life to that and just drive around and just kind of go and you know where do you make your decisions, like, do you only have so much time and do you go to saint jude's or do you go to the you?
Speaker 4:know the.
Speaker 1:NICU in the at the local hospital and open up a brick and mortar. You have to, yeah, but that's what everybody's going to be lining up and what do you?
Speaker 3:what do you do when the drug cartel kidnaps you and says heal this guy?
Speaker 1:yeah, I mean, that's why you have to be very discreet. But how do you get into a nick you to save babies. You know that. How do you get into a cancer ward? How do you get into?
Speaker 2:well, you know, I know you have it, are you just a?
Speaker 1:strange dude that shows up at saint jude's and says I'd like to help children once your fame spreads doesn't look too good, but you don't want that, do you? That's when people are going to track you down and trouble starts.
Speaker 2:I would live in this little tower thing You'd be put up. Well, I'm just going to go with the good luck thing man, I'm just going to fucking. Good luck, I'm just going to have good luck.
Speaker 1:I would heal myself or live forever. Yeah, I just keep healing myself.
Speaker 3:And last but not least, wait, wait. Can you imagine if I had the healing powers and I text both of you guys? Hey guys, novartis wants me over for lunch. I'm going to go Bye. Bye, mark, that's right, I believe in the healing power of podcasts.
Speaker 1:There you go, all right. Last but not least, lou, you make the call. This one is a little, this one might be the toughest one Control over earth, the ground right. Control over earth, the ground right, land, or control over water, the ocean, like, you can cause earthquakes, or you can fill in holes, or you can cause tidal waves, or you can control tidal, you can control tsunamis, or you can make the earth green. Which one?
Speaker 2:Water or earth? I think I would use earth. I would learn to redirect water.
Speaker 1:But if you were a water breather, wouldn't you want to help the ocean?
Speaker 2:You want to control the water too.
Speaker 1:You can breathe under the water. You can control the water.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I think the fact there's more disasters can happen on Earth than in water, so I think water causes a lot of disasters. Well, it does, like tsunamis. By thinking stopping an earthquake would stop a tsunami. How about?
Speaker 1:stopping a hurricane.
Speaker 2:Yes, that would be a lot to see. You know, I would probably target people with it. I would probably use it for militia.
Speaker 1:But don't we need those things, though. Don't we need those things to happen things, though.
Speaker 2:Don't we need those things to happen? Hurricanes and all that? You're the nature.
Speaker 1:Yeah, how are you gonna be uh mark, what's your choice?
Speaker 3:could I use the power of water to like solid, like cancel?
Speaker 1:droughts. It's your power, you you can lift it up and move it over and so I have a really fear of water.
Speaker 3:I I don't like. Ocean scares the shit out of me. I don't swim, I can't even swim in a lake. For that reason alone. I want to have power over water, and nothing scares me more than those images of whatchamacallit, the big waves, tsunamis yeah, yeah, that scares the shit out of me, fucking tsunamis.
Speaker 1:You can't stop the ocean, man.
Speaker 3:That movie that Ewan McGregor made about the one in Thailand scared the crap out of me.
Speaker 2:Remember as kids we thought it was a giant wall of water coming.
Speaker 3:Oh look run, run.
Speaker 2:It's because of the side adventure it just rises and swallows you. That's the whole thing, yeah, who's the one. It was a model. Some supermodel survived it. Her boyfriend didn't, but she went Right right.
Speaker 3:But I remember seeing. I've never seen what's that People did survive.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I mean seeing the water rise up like that. It's not what you were led to believe.
Speaker 3:It would be like and in Japan those images that came when Japan had theirs.
Speaker 1:It's crazy.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so I'd like to control it.
Speaker 1:You can also stop earthquakes, you can stop all that, but that's the Earth telling you something. Man, when that shit happens, I don't know. I would have to go with. I'd have control over Earth, I think over the ground, although the ocean. You just can't tame the ocean, but you know what, Scott?
Speaker 3:You have a good point.
Speaker 1:In Florida.
Speaker 3:Yeah, In Florida you could stop all those sinkholes.
Speaker 1:I don't see these things. These things don't happen. You see them in the news and it's like okay.
Speaker 3:Maybe not where you are, then Somewhere in Florida.
Speaker 1:It's a huge state, but sinkholes are sinkholes. Like, don't you have to be there to stop? It Scares me. The sinkhole just swallows you up. Yeah, I saw a video of a fucking sinkhole that happened underneath a pool at a hotel. Ooh and the fucking watch. The people just get sucked in Jesus and the fuck you watch the people just get sucked in. You watch them like the guy. They just get pulled in and the water just brings them into the sinkhole. They're not coming back.
Speaker 2:But no, since I could breathe underwater and heal people, I would be there and I would help them.
Speaker 1:There you go, but you just decided that you were going to do the earth things.
Speaker 2:We had a sinkhole in Nashville in the parking lot of this one strip mall.
Speaker 1:It was pretty, pretty big. Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah, just all right, that's it for you. Make the call. What do we want to talk about? Do we want to talk about albums of 1988 or movies of 1988, albums, albums, it is all right. So let's, uh, let's start off with uh, let me, let me see right here.

Speaker 2:I still play that album, lou Leonard Cohen's big hit album, I'm your man, known for the song Everybody Knows. Yeah, did you see? It was used in? Was it Batman v Superman, dawn of Justice? It's in the beginning of the movie. Yes, everybody knows that. The good guys lost. Yeah, yep.
Speaker 3:Mark, I'm going to go out the debut of King Zex, a quirky man from the Midwest, king Zex, yeah. Out of the silent planet and I got that and I was floored by him.
Speaker 2:They're playing natural here. Really, yeah, they look really old. You believe that they?
Speaker 3:are but that that singer can still sing.
Speaker 2:I was gonna say it's weird, these bands from the 80s. You see them now.
Speaker 1:You're like, oh, they look old but you still got like jimmy page out there I know 80 year old rockers touring yeah, uh, 1988, my man, my man morrissey, came out with his debut album viva hate, six months right after the smith's last album. Strange ways, uh, viva hate and uh, let me see the tracks on there. Every day is like sunday, suede head and margaret, yeah i's, that's a good, good album that. He was fucking huge back then.
Speaker 2:Um Lou, the debut album by Athens. Georgia's Athens, georgia's widespread panic have you guys ever heard of them? Oh yeah, yeah. They're kind of lovely with the jam band, but they're more than that. They're really good Um they are good. Our friend StopMatter burned me like four of their CDs. They're good. They used to play the big Christmas jam, the Warren Haynes Christmas jam, in Nashville here. So yeah, now if you're a widespread fan you're called a spread head. Oh jeez, but they're really quite good. I think the two main guys have both passed.
Speaker 3:But they've been around for a long time, but they are from athens in that scene. Good band. All right, mark. Uh, this is the year I was right out of high school and I started working as cpi making cassettes, and I got exposed to the world of hardcore music. So I turned into a black flag fan and that along that genre they weren't hardcore, though is I bought butthole surfers hairway to steven. Do you remember that? Yeah, yeah that was a good album I liked it uh, 1988, tracy chapman's debut album.
Speaker 1:Tracy chapman, where had you had a fast car? Was it fast enough so we could drive away? I'm gonna get a decision If you ask me to find this way, I always know I'll be better. Blah, blah, blah. That song had a big resurgence, like last year with some country. Big fat white country dude did it and became a hit again, he's getting money.
Speaker 1:It's good for her he performed it at the Grammys and she came on and did it with him and all these fucking idiots on you know, these trolls were all upset that like, oh, he took her song, she's up there playing with him. She loved it.
Speaker 3:She loved it she had applause, it kind of gave her a little resurgence. I do not, I'm saying Facebook and everything. People are just fucking morons.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I'm one of them, but that's okay.
Speaker 3:Well, you're a lovable moron.
Speaker 2:Lou Kemper Von Beethoven's, our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart. I never listen to them. They're good man, they're a good band. Yeah, that's a good record.
Speaker 3:Lou, what was the album when we did our album review, which I miss? What was?
Speaker 2:the album when we did our album review, which I miss what was the album you recommended key lampi. That was a great album. You made me a fan from here. It was kind of proggy rock, but yeah, they're out there, we're good. I mean, that's a band that evolved. They were like a skinhead surfer california band, kind of poppy, and then they went kind of a little heavier a little bit. I like them. Yeah, all right, I haveima.
Speaker 1:What do you got, Mark?
Speaker 3:When Iron Maiden just said we're going to do a total prog album, they did Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:They were kind of coming off the world tours. They were still playing arenas but it was starting to end.
Speaker 1:But that was a really good album, yeah yeah, 1988, the Sugar Cubes came out with life's too good. Yeah, you know who's. You know who's with the sugar cubes, right, luke bjork. Yeah, and the song birthday. That's one of my fans, maybe my favorite sugar cube song. Weird video, very fucking weird. European video, northern europe. There's two videos for it. There's two. One of them is a little fucking touchy. It's a little little uncomfortable to watch.
Speaker 2:What do you mean by touchy?
Speaker 1:it's a little uncomfortable to watch it's it's european it's on youtube. So they haven't, they, they don't't, but it's like these kids walking in a circle in their underwear and like it's just kind of very. European, did I say that?
Speaker 2:Okay, I got you.
Speaker 1:Where they're not afraid of nudity or anything like that.
Speaker 2:And no one's circumcised.
Speaker 1:You're saying no, they have. I don't know because they have underwear on. But it's just kind of like these brief clips of them, these kids. It's in black and white and they're walking in a circle and it's like, okay 88, this is still the time when they weren't really putting a story to the song but I love the song the sugar cubes birthday. If you ever want to hear a good, uh good sugar cube song, bjork at her best on that one uh, yeah check it out, check it out, uh lou ben halen's.
Speaker 2:Oh, you ate one too oh yeah, yeah, another one of my first cds, really yeah. Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the hager years, but it's got two songs in that I always did like, uh, when it's love and finish what you started. I didn't like I'm not a big power ballad kind of guy, but I just thought when it's Love was kind of it's epic.
Speaker 3:But Finish what you Started. I hated it because it was on the radio it's country, but when I listened to it I'm like you know, freaking Eddie. He plays chicken picking effortlessly. He does something else good. He plays awesome on that track.
Speaker 2:And the drums are great on that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, yeah, unsung, unsung, drummer alexander also had the song uh cabo wabo, I think was on that, and that's a great song yeah, mark, uh, dark album sticking with the metal queens right operation, mind crime, a rock opera that involves a prostitute, a priest, an assassin doesn't get darker than that. And an attempt to make a new world order. Yeah, it was dark, but it was a good album.
Speaker 1:Good album. Bob Kirkman says Van Halen was best with Sammy. There's something to be said about that.
Speaker 3:There's no big argument.
Speaker 1:I had my rant on David Lee Roth earlier, but I think the first two Van Halen albums are pretty hard to fucking beat. They really are pretty hard to beat. Fair warning.
Speaker 2:Fair warning. That's my favorite. That's the fourth one. They're hard to beat.
Speaker 1:I mean, David Lee Roth might have been a douchebag, but those fucking albums, they were pretty powerful, fucking albums, man yeah they were, they were consistent. If anything, they were consistent when he was good, he was good.
Speaker 3:Yeah, man, yeah they were, they were, they were warning. If anything, they were consistent when he was good, he was good yeah, fair warning, had that song, that the lemores and brooklyn used for their ad uh sunday afternoon in the park sunday at lemores.
Speaker 1:Uh, 1988, uh, living color came out with the album vivid, which had that monster hit, cult of personality. Um, big, fucking, big hit. That was their only hit, but that was it, yeah there was another song.
Speaker 3:It wasn't, it wasn't this one, it wasn't as big as as cult of personality open letter to a landlord yeah, and I remember I was going out with my wife at the time and I went to pick her up in the bronx and it was one of those cool september days and it was a weekday. My wife at the time and I went to pick her up in the Bronx and it was one of those cool September days and it was a weekday. We both had the day off, so it was quiet in the city and that's that came on the radio. You know, you can tear a bit and I, here I am in the South Bronx, you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, uh, but call the person. I was in the Philippines when that came out. We always got shit like fucking four months after it's released in the states.
Speaker 1:It would make its way over there when I went home at mid tour december of 88 and I came back january 89. Like I took 30, 40 days right and uh, I fucking loaded up on videos like vhs tapes and I brought them back and you could bring them to one of the video bars they were all video bars at that point and you play it's all like from the States fresh and they get to play that shit and people get like that's how we found out about cult of personality, because there was no social media there, there was no way of finding out what was popular in the States. We had one fucking TV channel, fen Far East Network. You got the Today Show on. We got yesterday's episode today like the morning show, whatever, with deborah norville. Yeah, yeah, I loved her man she still looks good to this day.
Speaker 1:Dude, nice mouth. Deborah she does, but deborah norville was she's still a beautiful woman to this day. That was 30 something years ago, probably the 60s. Yeah, yeah uh, lou.

Speaker 2:All right, Lou, what do you got, Robert? No, actually Blue Oyster Cult Imaginose.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay, that was an after-the-fact album. The drummer put it together. It's got Joe Satriani, it's got some of the BOC guys. I don't really like the album.
Speaker 3:It's got a good song.
Speaker 2:It's got a good song. Some of the stuff that he's re-recorded afterwards. Some of the versions are kind of good, but it was an attempt. The drummer who was fired from the band. He was led to believe that there's going to be a big blue oyster cult thing and Columbia rejected it because his vocals were not what they wanted. So they had to redo it. But it's a. It's a blue oyster cult album though. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah. All right Mark the album that, one of two albums that made me realize that hip hop done Right Is as good as heavy metal straight out of compton. To this day I put that on, that's a good album.
Speaker 1:I bang my head, you know. Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna stay in that, in that genre again. This was a great year for hip-hop. This was the fucking the, the golden, the golden years of hip-hop. This was yeah, yeah I mean these, these years were the formative years of hip-hop. They were laying the groundwork and Public Enemy came out with. It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back.
Speaker 1:That's what that song, Black Steel and the Hour of Chaos, was on that album. The album covers them. It's Chuck D and Flava Flav in a jail cell, Like they got a thing that album also has. I mean, killer, Bring the Noise, Don't Believe the Hype. Night of the Living Bassheads. Rebel Without a Pause. Prophets of Rage, which Rage Against the Machine, did a cover of that.
Speaker 3:And there was a band.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, it's just louder than a bomb. They just Public Enemy was a, they were and they still are on a level of all their own. They're in a whole category by themselves absolutely.
Speaker 2:That wasn't the uh, the dj murdered. No, that was run dmc. I've run dmc.
Speaker 1:Well, they just found the murderer they just actually, they just found out who did it?
Speaker 1:yeah, yeah, the dj for public enemy was terminator x is terminator x. Yeah, all DJs, they all had their own, they had their name, they had their little persona, they had their own style. The DJ that probably had the most success, though, was DJ Lethal. Dj Lethal was the DJ for House of Pain House of Pain, biggest one hit wonder in the world, ever greatest one-hit wonder, right, but they put out two really good albums, uh, and then, probably just like anything, the popularity and you know it moved on, but then he jumped right from right from um, uh, from house of pain, to um, uh the fuck ever biscuit, limp biscuit.
Speaker 1:So then he had a big run with limp biscuit oh, uh dj lethal oh, oh, okay no dj lethal from house of pain wow, I didn't know that they break up, because then he becomes a dj for yeah, for limp biscuit. Yeah, that's not a bad run.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's not a bad run I I chuck d used to have a radio show in new york and I was commuting to connecticut at the time, so I got to hear him every morning and he would get 6 am. He was up and someone called in one day and just said to him do you have trouble waking up, man? Like you know, you hung over you, you know whatever. And he kind of inferred that he was stoned or and chuck d just says I don't smoke weed, I don't drink, I'm a vegetarian. And the guy was floored.
Speaker 1:It's like yeah, you know you, it's like yeah, yeah, like like frank zappa, everyone assumed he did drugs.
Speaker 3:I believe he never touched drugs.
Speaker 1:Some people just you know, gene simmons never touched drugs I believe there's a bunch of them out there.
Speaker 2:That never did that, you know uh, alice cooper, I think he drank, but I don't think he did drugs at all, he was a beeraholic, alice Cooper just loved his beer, budweiser, yeah.
Speaker 3:Poor guy.
Speaker 2:Jane's Addiction Nothing Shocking.
Speaker 1:Yeah. That's a fucking bomb album right there.

Speaker 2:really. Yeah, they're doing some smaller shows and then they're going to go bigger in the summer. Do they look old? Well, perry Farrell looks okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think they look okay. I don't think that they're that type of band.
Speaker 2:Like Dave Navarro, he's going to look like he always looks you know, it's hard to tell what some people, because they were so done up, you know 80s makeup and shit, yeah, stuff, yeah now there's makeup's more necessary now, yeah, filling the cracks like wood putty, yep, yep, uh, let's rock a couple more.

Speaker 3:Wasn't it recorded at Martha's Vineyard, like on the ocean? It might have been the one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a good album I like it, yeah, but it's all her fucking music just regurgitated live. It's like she's not a rock and roll hall of famer.
Speaker 3:She brings out the kids choir.
Speaker 1:They go Itsy Bitsy Spice, yeah, yeah yeah, but actually the album I'm more happy about was one of the greatest hip-hop albums ever to be released, arguably the greatest MC ever, the greatest rapper ever. Eric B and Rakim Rakim is just fucking fire, absolute fire. Follow the the leader. That's a fucking jam album. Yeah, jam album follow the leader.
Speaker 2:Are they getting into the record hall of fame?
Speaker 1:they got nominated they got nominated, they, they should eventually make it in. I don't think they did this. I don't think. No, they didn't this year. No, I think it was their first time being nominated. Uh, but follow the leader is a fucking jam rap album. It's not, uh, candy rapper rap, you know. It's not dj jazzy jeff shit. It's. It's some good stuff.
Speaker 3:It's some good stuff you know, when I started to turn on on hip-hop and rap was every song became about drinking beer hanging out on the porch. You know it got that. It was the california style and it got to me after a while. I'm like, all right, I don't need to hear that you're just sitting on the porch drinking a 40 yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the layers.
Speaker 1:Eric B was a master at the layers. Great as fucking rock. That's great rock. Him was fire man, yeah, so all right, lou one more uh, he got his oh, I did, I didn't he picked bon jovi oh okay, all right, so I guess we're done. No, I didn't pick one. Oh go, I'm sorry, I'm my, I'm fading.

Speaker 1:Yeah yeah, you know his guitar style right off the bat.
Speaker 3:If you're not familiar with that album, definitely just backtrack it and listen, because he had so many good songs saved up and he was fighting with Mick at the time, so songs like I Could have Stood you Up, but I Didn't. You Don't Move Me Anymore. Those were written for Mick, yeah.
