6:45
SPEAKER_15: Is that what it was?
6:45

SPEAKER_15: Something like that.
6:54
SPEAKER_15: Yeah, something like that.
6:54
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.

19:26
SPEAKER_15: Okay, we don't want to do that.
19:27
unknown: All right.
19:28
SPEAKER_15: So there's this um do you remember a f a couple years ago, maybe maybe three years ago?
19:33
SPEAKER_15: Uh uh you wouldn't remember actually, because you don't listen to country music.
19:37

19:48
SPEAKER_15: Oh, yeah.

19:50
SPEAKER_15: It really wasn't about what everybody said it was about, and the video didn't help uh because it did the video did show, you know.
19:59
SPEAKER_15: Anyway, it wasn't it was unwarranted controversy.
20:03
SPEAKER_15: Anyway, the songwriters of that song are huge like hit songwriters in Nashville and are very proud of the song and what it stands for.
20:17
SPEAKER_15: And so they got a lot of hate um because of that.
20:22
SPEAKER_15: Oh, I'm sure.
20:24
SPEAKER_15: And they stood their ground and they started a podcast.
20:28

20:37
SPEAKER_15: Um Neil Thrasher.

23:55
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
23:55
SPEAKER_15: And Toby Keith, this you know, they put it on hold and like, are you serious?
24:00
SPEAKER_15: You know, which means they hold it so nobody else can record it.
24:02
SPEAKER_15: Right.
24:02
SPEAKER_15: And they said, What can you put we want to put that on hold for like a year?
24:05
SPEAKER_15: You're like, Really?
24:07
SPEAKER_15: You know, so this so they they did.
24:09
SPEAKER_15: And then they said, Oh, we're cutting that, and blah, blah, blah.
24:11
SPEAKER_15: We we're gonna film a video for it.
24:13
SPEAKER_15: And we want you to so they thought they were being punked.
24:16
SPEAKER_15: They thought they were pulling their chain, yeah, right.
24:20
SPEAKER_15: And so we're we want you guys, come on out to the video show.
24:24
SPEAKER_15: We're gonna we're gonna shoot the video.
24:25
SPEAKER_15: So the whole time they thought like Ashton Kutcher was gonna show up and say, Oh, you've been punked.
24:30
SPEAKER_15: And then they they show up and they've got all these cameras and they're actually making a video.
24:34
SPEAKER_15: And they're like, Wait, this is real.
24:38
SPEAKER_15: You have to hear them tell it because it's it's really funny.
24:41
SPEAKER_15: So, yeah, I suggest, and that's on YouTube too.
24:43
SPEAKER_15: Did I tell you that?
24:44
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
24:44
SPEAKER_15: It's also on YouTube, so uh, you should go check that out.
24:47
SPEAKER_15: I I love the Warren Brothers, and that's a great idea to have them as the wall of two.
24:51
SPEAKER_15: We'll do that.
24:51
SPEAKER_15: So we'll do that because they've got a quite a catalog.
24:55
SPEAKER_15: They have a they have one, two, three, three or four albums.
24:59
SPEAKER_15: Yeah, and that's it.
25:00
SPEAKER_15: And then they just decided uh well, the funny thing is, is and they tell this story too, they put out those albums and and they released a kind of a greatest hits that said almost famous hits because they never really were like big stars.
25:14
SPEAKER_15: And then they went and wrote uh a song with somebody and they had uh like a number one hit with it, and they said, Well, we've more made more money with this than we do with this.
25:25
SPEAKER_15: So let's just do this.
25:27
SPEAKER_15: So that's all they do.
25:28
SPEAKER_15: And of course, of course, that's in jeopardy now because of the way the music industry is.
25:32
SPEAKER_15: Right.
25:32
SPEAKER_15: Of course.
25:33
SPEAKER_15: So they're making their money in different ways, and they're still getting residuals from the songs that they've already written.
25:37
SPEAKER_15: Sure.
25:38
SPEAKER_15: You know, but still.
25:39
SPEAKER_15: Um so check that out.
25:40
SPEAKER_15: Try that in a small town podcast.
25:42

SPEAKER_15: It's good stuff.
25:46
SPEAKER_15: Um back to our podcast.
25:48
SPEAKER_15: Oh, yeah.
25:50
SPEAKER_15: If you can call it that.
25:51
SPEAKER_05: It is a podcast.
25:52
SPEAKER_15: It is a podcast.
25:53
SPEAKER_05: Because we put it on the interwebs.
25:54
SPEAKER_15: Okay, so I have a couple of things from um ultimate classicrock.com.
26:00
SPEAKER_15: Now, one of them is a question and one of them is a list.
26:03
SPEAKER_15: Which would you like to go with first?
26:04
SPEAKER_05: Uh let's do the question first.
26:06
SPEAKER_15: Okay.
26:07
SPEAKER_15: This is a pretty good question, actually.
26:10
SPEAKER_15: There's an article on Cl UltimateClassicrock.com that says, What will happen to classic rock once all the icons are done?
26:20
SPEAKER_05: Ah, an excellent question.
26:21
SPEAKER_15: You know that even when we were on the radio with our classic rock show on our classic rock radio station, we were playing Soundgarden.
26:32
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
26:32
SPEAKER_15: And we were playing Metallica.
26:35
SPEAKER_15: Which today is considered classic rock.
26:39
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
26:40
SPEAKER_15: You know.
26:41
SPEAKER_15: But um I was gonna say 25 years ago, but I keep forgetting it it's longer than that.
26:47
SPEAKER_15: Um maybe 30 or 40 years ago, that wouldn't have been classic rock.
26:52
SPEAKER_05: No, it would have been like New Rock.
26:54
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
26:54
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
26:55
SPEAKER_15: Um actually probably 30 years ago, right?
26:58
SPEAKER_15: 30, 35, 40 years ago.
26:59
SPEAKER_15: Yeah, cow, that's just weird to think about.
27:02
SPEAKER_15: Um so we know we know that I I haven't even read the article yet, but we know that Metallica was once modern rock and it's now classic rock.
27:18
SPEAKER_15: But also um Bruce Springsteen was once modern rock and is now classic rock.
27:28
SPEAKER_15: Right.
27:29
SPEAKER_15: Um CCR is still considered classic rock.
27:34
SPEAKER_15: Right.
27:35
SPEAKER_15: Um Journey is considered classic rock.
27:40
SPEAKER_15: Uh even and they came out in the 70s.
27:42
SPEAKER_15: Right.
27:42
SPEAKER_15: Their music is still around.
27:44
SPEAKER_15: Their music has has stood the test of time.
27:47
SPEAKER_15: A lot of a lot of the classic rock artists that are on the radio right now have stood the test of time.
27:52
SPEAKER_15: Correct.
27:52
SPEAKER_15: And we're it's you're just adding to it with these new artists.
27:56
SPEAKER_15: Now, someone from today in 20 years, are they gonna be considered classic rock?
28:03
SPEAKER_05: I think that's how it works.
28:05
SPEAKER_15: Right.
28:05
SPEAKER_15: But I mean, for example, let's see.
28:11
SPEAKER_15: Um give me an artist of today.
28:14
SPEAKER_15: I don't I guess I don't pay attention.
28:16
SPEAKER_15: Okay, well, uh, Alter Bridge.
28:17
SPEAKER_15: Okay.
28:18
SPEAKER_15: Okay, Alter Bridge.
28:19
SPEAKER_15: Altar Bridge is not currently played on a classic rock station.
28:23
SPEAKER_15: Right.
28:24
SPEAKER_15: They'd be played on like a mainstream rock station.
28:27
SPEAKER_15: Sure.
28:28
SPEAKER_15: Okay.
28:28
SPEAKER_15: So does that mean in twenty years, if we have a classic rock station like the one we have in town, and they're playing Metallica, and they're playing Bruce Springsteen, and they're playing Led Zeppelin and Boston.
28:39
SPEAKER_05: Well, those will all be oldies.
28:41
SPEAKER_15: You think so?
28:41
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
28:42
SPEAKER_05: Well that's what And then that stuff will be now classic rock.
28:45
SPEAKER_15: So you think Altar Bridge will be played on the classic rock station?
28:49
SPEAKER_05: If they're still around, yeah.
28:50
SPEAKER_05: If they're still a want for 'em.
28:52
SPEAKER_15: Okay.
28:53
SPEAKER_15: So if those if Boston is oldies, what is Dion?
29:00
SPEAKER_05: Uh I think that we'd put it in the same category as we put uh classical now.
29:06
SPEAKER_05: Which is what?
29:08
SPEAKER_05: Super old.
29:12
SPEAKER_05: Super old.
29:13
SPEAKER_05: Super old music.
29:15
SPEAKER_15: Well, you know what they call it?
29:17
SPEAKER_05: Uh Well, what what did I read that somebody said our orchestras are just eighteenth century cover bands?
29:25
SPEAKER_05: Eighteenth century cover bands?
29:27
SPEAKER_05: Orchestras because they're doing all They're all doing like Beethoven, Mozart, Hayden, you know.
29:32
SPEAKER_15: Well, yes and no.
29:34
SPEAKER_15: I mean, you have your, and we got into this discussion a little bit, you have your film composers who are your modern day classical composers.
29:42
SPEAKER_15: Right.
29:43
SPEAKER_15: And there are orchestras that are doing their music as well.
29:46
SPEAKER_15: Sure.
29:46
SPEAKER_15: Matter of fact, um, we're planning a trip um for our music department in October.
29:55
SPEAKER_15: Um they've done this with John Williams as well, but uh in October, this is because tell me how you cool you think this is.
30:03
SPEAKER_15: And please remember where we are, because I'll forget how to get back.
30:09
SPEAKER_15: Um we're in your basement.
30:10
SPEAKER_15: No, that's not what I mean.
30:12
SPEAKER_15: So uh the um down at the Collins Center at University of Maine at Orno, I've been there, they are showing um Nightmare Before Christmas on the screen.
30:26
SPEAKER_15: But below the Bangor Symphony Orchestra is playing the score live.
30:32
SPEAKER_05: Oh, that's kind of neat.
30:33
SPEAKER_15: Right?
30:33
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
30:34
SPEAKER_15: Uh they've done it with Star Wars and the John Williams music.
30:37
SPEAKER_05: Really?
30:37
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
30:37
SPEAKER_05: Wow.
30:38
SPEAKER_15: So we're we're trying to uh take our kids down just to see that because we think it would be kind of a neat trip.
30:43
SPEAKER_15: That would be neat.
30:43
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
30:44
SPEAKER_15: So um, so yes, orchestras are playing newer music, but you're right.
30:49
SPEAKER_15: I mean, for the most part, they're playing two stuff that's 200, 300 years old.
30:55
SPEAKER_15: Of course.
30:55
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
30:56
SPEAKER_15: Um but like Dion um the Well, I mean, the Beatles, are the Beatles classic rock?
31:05
SPEAKER_15: Are they old?
31:06
SPEAKER_05: Well, right now they're classic rock, technically, because they didn't break up until the 70s.
31:12
SPEAKER_15: Okay, well, Dion was around in the 70s.
31:14
SPEAKER_05: Well, that's what I'm saying.
31:15
SPEAKER_15: Okay.
31:15
SPEAKER_15: So he's not classic rock.
31:18
SPEAKER_05: He is rock.
31:19
SPEAKER_15: Yeah?
31:20
SPEAKER_15: He's doo-wop.
31:21
SPEAKER_05: He's doo-wop.
31:22
SPEAKER_05: He's still rock.
31:23
SPEAKER_05: I mean, you could you could call it original rock, I suppose.
31:26
SPEAKER_15: Well, you know what they call it in the industry.
31:27
SPEAKER_15: Root rock now.
31:28
SPEAKER_15: No, and what they call it in the industry is gold.
31:31
SPEAKER_15: Gold rock?
31:32
SPEAKER_15: No, just gold.
31:34
SPEAKER_15: That doesn't make any sense.
31:35
SPEAKER_15: Well, they're they're the the golden era.
31:38
SPEAKER_15: So like like um the Supremes motel.
31:42
SPEAKER_05: So like the 50s stuff.
31:43
SPEAKER_05: The 50s and 60s.
31:44
SPEAKER_05: Okay.
31:44
SPEAKER_15: Yeah, 50s and 60s.
31:45
SPEAKER_15: They're lumping it in and calling it gold.
31:48
SPEAKER_15: All right.
31:48
SPEAKER_15: And then basically from the 70s to the 90s, classic rock.
31:54
SPEAKER_15: Classic rock.
31:55
SPEAKER_15: Okay.
31:55
SPEAKER_15: And then everything else is is new, newer modern.
31:59
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
31:59
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
31:59
SPEAKER_15: I guess.
32:00
SPEAKER_15: So in 20 years, that newer modern is gonna become classic rock.
32:06
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
32:06
SPEAKER_15: Is it gonna be lumped in with the 70s and on, or is it?
32:10
SPEAKER_05: I think that's probably what they're gonna do because it's that that m what's modern rock came out of classic rock.
32:17
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
32:18
SPEAKER_05: That was their influence.
32:19
SPEAKER_05: Sure, yeah.
32:20
SPEAKER_05: So it makes sense just to you know keep them all together.
32:23
SPEAKER_15: Right.
32:23
SPEAKER_05: You know, yeah, you your album came out in you know, 2000.
32:28
SPEAKER_15: Yep.
32:28
SPEAKER_05: It's now what you know, 2050.
32:31
SPEAKER_05: Yep.
32:32
SPEAKER_05: You could you're now you're now classic rock.
32:34
SPEAKER_15: You could argue, though, that um somebody who is I think I think it all depends if your if your band qualifies for an AARP card, you are now classic rock.
32:49
SPEAKER_15: Right.
32:51
SPEAKER_15: Um So I think there's a lot of bands that are around today that weren't necessarily influenced by Van Halen or weren't necessarily influenced by Aerosmith, you know, these bands from the 70s.
33:04
SPEAKER_15: They found them in a roundabout way, but they were influenced by bands from the 2000s.
33:11
SPEAKER_05: Who were influenced by Exactly, that's what I mean.
33:14
SPEAKER_05: They found them through by way of those you know, it's the evolution of music comes from.
33:21
SPEAKER_15: So do you think eventually bands from the 70s, or I should say their music from the 70s, like for example, Aerosmith, um they had a quote unquote comeback in the late eighties.
33:37
SPEAKER_15: Right.
33:38
SPEAKER_15: But they but their music from the 70s, like Walk This Way, Sweet Emotion, things like that.
33:42
SPEAKER_15: Right.
33:43
SPEAKER_15: Do you think at some point their output from the 70s will be called gold?
33:50
SPEAKER_15: Like lumped in with I don't think so.
33:52
SPEAKER_05: I think I think gold is gonna continue to be the origins of rock.
33:58
SPEAKER_05: Of rock.
33:58
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
33:59
SPEAKER_05: You know what I mean?
33:59
SPEAKER_05: Your your Chuck Berry, your you know, your Fats Domino, Spreams, right?
34:05
SPEAKER_05: You know.
34:05
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
34:06
unknown: Yeah.
34:06
SPEAKER_05: I think that I think that's gonna stay that way.
34:08
SPEAKER_05: And that that's why I think everything from the 70s now is going to be It's an interesting thing.
34:15
SPEAKER_05: It's gonna be classic.
34:17
SPEAKER_05: It's gonna be considered classic rock.
34:18
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
34:19
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
34:20
SPEAKER_15: It's an interesting um thing to think about.
34:23
SPEAKER_15: Who knows?
34:23
SPEAKER_15: I mean I haven't even read the article here.
34:25
SPEAKER_05: I was about to say, we forgot about the other.
34:27
SPEAKER_15: Time is undefeated.
34:28
SPEAKER_15: It's a cliche saying, but it's true.
34:31
SPEAKER_15: Um though rock has always carried on an air of immortality with it.
34:36
SPEAKER_15: Musicians are fragile humans, just like the rest of us, at some point the Rolling Stones will stop touring.
34:40
SPEAKER_15: I think they're aliens, so I don't think they're gonna be stopping.
34:43
SPEAKER_15: No, they're they're they're um always gonna be going.
34:47
SPEAKER_15: Oh, by the way, um Eddie Trunk the other day on the on Trunk Nation, his podcast, was talking he does this thing where p you can call in and um make heaven's band like like comprise a band made up of uh people that have passed.
35:06
SPEAKER_15: Right.
35:06
SPEAKER_15: Like you could have Eddie Van Halen on guitar and this and the I so wanted to call in and say, all right, on guitar, Keith Richards.
35:16
SPEAKER_15: But I didn't.
35:17
SPEAKER_15: Anyway.
35:18
SPEAKER_15: Um He died years ago.
35:19
SPEAKER_15: Nobody nobody told him.
35:21
SPEAKER_15: Nobody told him.
35:22
SPEAKER_15: Uh historically speaking, we've never seen a generational change quite like the one ahead.
35:26
SPEAKER_15: Sure, music itself has existed for centuries, but music as a commodity didn't really appear until after World War II.
35:32
SPEAKER_15: In 1948, the first 12-inch vinyl LPs were commercially released.
35:36
SPEAKER_15: The 50s saw a boom that is now commonly regarded as the birth of rock and roll.
35:39
SPEAKER_15: But when people talk about classic rock, they're generally referring to a period that began in the sixties and ended in the eighties.
35:47
SPEAKER_15: Okay.
35:48
SPEAKER_08: Okay.
35:48
SPEAKER_15: This three decade run birthed some of the greatest artists to ever grace a stage, ranging from the Beatles and the Stones to Jimmy Hendrix, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, Guns N Roses, and many more.
35:57
SPEAKER_15: What happens to their incredible legacies after these icons retire, or sadly, die?
36:02
SPEAKER_15: Are avatars the future of concerts?
36:06
SPEAKER_15: Famously, KISS made waves in December of twenty twenty-three when following their final traditional concert, the band revealed virtual avatars that will take them into the future.
36:19
SPEAKER_15: How concert streaming is helping artists stay eternal.
36:22
SPEAKER_15: KISS isn't the only classic act to retire from the road in recent years.
36:25
SPEAKER_15: Elton John, Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, and Kenny Loggins are among the rockers who've stepped away from touring, though most have kept the door slightly ajar for occasional performances.
36:34
SPEAKER_15: As legendary acts play fewer and fewer shows, fans have turned to streaming concert platforms as an alternative.
36:42
SPEAKER_15: Let's see.
36:43
SPEAKER_15: Springsteen Springsteen uh did a concert, a streaming concert on Nuggs.net, which is a new service.
36:53
SPEAKER_15: Um selling out is no longer a concern.
36:56
SPEAKER_15: I'm just kind of skimming the article here.
36:58
SPEAKER_15: Right.
36:58
SPEAKER_15: The evolution of classic rock has turned bands to brands, which is unfortunate.
37:02
SPEAKER_15: Uh, with many artists capitalizing on their intellectual property.
37:06
SPEAKER_15: That's true.
37:07
SPEAKER_15: They're selling all of their their catalogs for millions of dollars.
37:12
SPEAKER_15: Because whereas Taylor Swift just bought hers back.
37:15
SPEAKER_15: Right.
37:15
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
37:15
SPEAKER_15: And she's re-recording them.
37:17
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
37:17
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
37:18
SPEAKER_15: Um, this is what we talked about on the last podcast.
37:22
SPEAKER_15: Classic rock bands touring without original members.
37:25
SPEAKER_15: Uh in recent history has proven anything.
37:27
SPEAKER_15: It's that a band's allure far exceeds that of its members.
37:30
SPEAKER_15: If Queen can rock stadiums without Freddie Mercury and The Grateful Dead can evolve to Dead and Company, there's no reason fellow iconic acts can't follow suit.
37:40
SPEAKER_15: Uh some notable groups, Leonard Skinner, Blood, Sweat and Tears, Journey, and we talked about foreigners doing the same thing.
37:46
SPEAKER_15: Right.
37:47
SPEAKER_15: Um Here's the question.
37:50
SPEAKER_15: So where does classic rock go from here?
37:52
SPEAKER_15: This is the last bit of the article.
37:54
SPEAKER_15: While no one can perfectly predict what the future will bring, classic rock fans can take solace in knowing the genre will endorse somehow, whether via avatars, streaming, new lineups, or some other avenue, artists and their work will continue reaching new fans long after they stepped off stage for good.
38:10
SPEAKER_15: Um there's lots of buzz around Apple Vision and all that.
38:14
SPEAKER_15: Ultimately, um they're sure it will end up in some kind of headset, whether it's Apple Vision or not, but somehow uh something that's incredibly high resolution, like 16k in the sphere, that kind of thing, but on your head or in your room.
38:28
SPEAKER_15: That doesn't really answer the question.
38:32
SPEAKER_15: Uh what he's basically saying is that classic rock will be there.
38:37
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
38:37
SPEAKER_15: In some form.
38:38
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
38:39
SPEAKER_05: You're always gonna I think we're going deeper and saying, you know, who's going to be classic rock?
38:43
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
38:44
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
38:45
SPEAKER_15: You're always gonna have access to Paul McCartney.
38:47
SPEAKER_15: Right.
38:48
SPEAKER_15: Even when he's gone.
38:49
SPEAKER_15: Correct.
38:50
SPEAKER_15: You'll have it on the radio, you'll have it streaming, you'll have it in headset, DVDs, yeah, whatever.
38:56
SPEAKER_15: You're always gonna have access to it.
38:57
SPEAKER_15: And I'm sure that you'll hear it on commercials.
39:01
SPEAKER_15: Oh, yeah.
39:02
SPEAKER_15: Uh everywhere.
39:02
SPEAKER_15: Like you do.
39:03
SPEAKER_05: Well, I I heard it uh they got the I want to hold your hand on a car commercial right now.
39:08
SPEAKER_05: Or no, it's Uber.
39:09
SPEAKER_15: Is it Uber?
39:10
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
39:10
SPEAKER_05: So I don't I don't know why they chose that for Uber, but whatever.
39:14
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
39:15
SPEAKER_05: It's not my money.
39:16
SPEAKER_05: Right.
39:16
SPEAKER_15: So um so that's I mean, that's an interesting uh question to consider.
39:21
SPEAKER_15: Really is, yeah.
39:22
SPEAKER_15: Um I guess we could talk about that for a long time, but um I want to move on.
39:28
SPEAKER_15: Next thing to another list from UltimateClassicrock.com.
39:33
SPEAKER_15: Now we've talked about this before, sort of.
39:35
SPEAKER_15: Um but there this is a list that is ranked.

40:13

SPEAKER_15: There's a number fifty and there's a number one, so we won't play all of them, obviously.
40:19
SPEAKER_15: No.
40:19
SPEAKER_15: But we'll we'll kind of say whether we agree or disagree.
40:23
SPEAKER_15: Uh number fifty, Metallica.
40:26
SPEAKER_15: Nothing else matters.
40:29
SPEAKER_05: Okay.
40:30
SPEAKER_05: I don't consider it a ballad, but I can see where it wouldn't be.
40:33
SPEAKER_15: Well, let's do this.
40:35
SPEAKER_15: Let's do this.
40:36
SPEAKER_15: Let's see what Google was called a ballad.
40:42
SPEAKER_15: A ballad is a form of verse, often a narrative, set to music that originated in medieval Europe and spread across the world.
40:50
SPEAKER_15: Okay, so let's do power ballad.
40:56
SPEAKER_15: Because that's what we're talking about.
41:00
SPEAKER_15: That's what we're talking about.
41:04
SPEAKER_15: Well, there's just another list.
41:06
SPEAKER_15: Oh, okay, here we go.
41:07
SPEAKER_15: Uh this is AI generated by the A power ballad is a slow, emotional rock song that typically features strong vocals and dramatic instrumentation, often often focusing on themes of love and longing.
41:21
SPEAKER_15: These songs often build up to a powerful climax, making them popular for expressing deep feelings.
41:28
SPEAKER_15: Okay.
41:29
SPEAKER_15: So I would consider nothing else matters about it.
41:32
SPEAKER_15: It doesn't have to be about love.
41:33
SPEAKER_15: No.
41:33
SPEAKER_15: I mean, it's it's emotional.
41:35
SPEAKER_15: It is.
41:36
SPEAKER_15: Um it does build up.
41:37
SPEAKER_15: Dramatic instrumentation.
41:39
SPEAKER_15: Um making expressing deep feelings.
41:43
SPEAKER_05: I would say it checks all the boxes.
41:45
SPEAKER_15: It checks all the boxes.
41:46
SPEAKER_05: Um it's just weird to consider Metallica doing ballads.
41:50
SPEAKER_05: Right.
41:51
SPEAKER_05: But I suppose fadeable black fade to black is a bad.
41:54
SPEAKER_05: So yeah.
41:54
SPEAKER_15: Yep.
41:55
SPEAKER_15: So I'll I'll support uh Metallica, nothing else matters.
41:58
SPEAKER_15: We'll allow it.
41:59
SPEAKER_15: At 50.
42:00
SPEAKER_15: 49, love song from Tesla.

42:03
SPEAKER_05: So would I.
42:04
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
42:04
SPEAKER_15: I was just gonna say that.
42:05
SPEAKER_05: That should be a top ten.
42:06
SPEAKER_15: I would agree.
42:08
SPEAKER_15: I would completely agree.
42:09
SPEAKER_15: Love song, uh in and of itself.
42:12
SPEAKER_15: I mean the the title of it.
42:13
SPEAKER_15: I mean duh.
42:14
SPEAKER_15: Duh.
42:15

SPEAKER_15: Oh yeah.
42:18
SPEAKER_15: I mean that's uh that's definitely uh top ten.
42:24
SPEAKER_15: That's way too low.
42:25
SPEAKER_15: Blaze of Glory, John Bon Jovi.
42:28
SPEAKER_15: Now, in the original description of a ballad, this works.
42:35
SPEAKER_15: Like it's a narrative.
42:36
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
42:37
SPEAKER_15: So talking about how uh I don't know that he's talking about love, maybe longing.
42:43
SPEAKER_15: But I guess it's emotion.
42:44
SPEAKER_15: Deep emotion, yeah, deep emotion.
42:46
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
42:46
SPEAKER_15: So yeah, I guess I would support that, but I don't know if I'd I don't know.

SPEAKER_15: I love this song.
43:10
SPEAKER_15: It's from 1982.
43:29
SPEAKER_05: You know, from the context of the video.
43:32
SPEAKER_05: It looks like she's lying the cracker point.
43:37

SPEAKER_15: Okay, so so I and I know I told you about this, but I can't believe.

59:28
SPEAKER_15: No, she took herself out of contention.
59:29
SPEAKER_15: Did she?
59:30
SPEAKER_15: I thought she would do that, yeah.
59:31
SPEAKER_15: Of course she would.
59:31
SPEAKER_15: I don't even know who she is, but she's a good judge.
59:33
SPEAKER_15: Yeah, yeah.
59:34
SPEAKER_15: Um, but I would say we forgot one.
59:38
SPEAKER_15: Um and I can't believe that we missed this, because the question was something to the effect of aliens came down uh to like take over the world, but they would they would if you played them an epic the the most epic love song, um they would give you a pass or something.
59:57
SPEAKER_15: So we picked their epic love songs and we missed the actual like Alien love song.
1:00:04
SPEAKER_15: Alien love song.
1:00:06
SPEAKER_05: Uh hold on a second here, because I wanna where well I should say the alien love song not done by Joe Satriani.

SPEAKER_15: This is actually written about aliens.
1:00:40
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
1:00:41
SPEAKER_15: Um, and just listen to it for a second because actually, while we're listening to it, let me get the words because Tammy Hagar has said um not that he was like uh abducted.
1:01:14
SPEAKER_15: So contact is all it takes to change your life, to lose your place and time.
1:01:20
SPEAKER_15: Contact, a sleeper awake, coming around, you may wake up to find questions deep within your eyes.
1:01:26
SPEAKER_15: Now more than ever, you realize, and then you sense a change, nothing feels the same, all your dreams are strange, love comes walking in, some kind of alien waits for the opening, then simply pulls a string.
1:01:38
SPEAKER_15: Another world, some other time, you lay your sanity on the line, familiar faces, familiar sights, reach back, remember with all your might.
1:01:44
SPEAKER_15: Ooh, and there she stands in a silken gown, silver lights shining down.

SPEAKER_07: Oh, okay.
1:05:33
SPEAKER_05: So I was like, oh no! Yeah, no, that's a good pick.

1:06:04
SPEAKER_14: Oh, okay, that's fair.
1:06:12
SPEAKER_15: Alright.
1:06:15
SPEAKER_03: I think that one speaks for itself.
1:06:16
SPEAKER_15: I think it does.
1:06:17
SPEAKER_15: I think it does.
1:06:18
SPEAKER_15: And I mean the fact that both you and Cousin Larry kind of kind of were on the same track there.
1:06:22
SPEAKER_15: We have the same, we share.
1:06:25
SPEAKER_15: So I admittedly did not have one.
1:06:28
SPEAKER_15: Yes.
1:06:29
SPEAKER_15: I just picked one.
1:06:31
SPEAKER_15: Uh, but now, as I I want you to tell me what to do.

1:06:43
SPEAKER_15: Um so that was my pick.
1:06:45
SPEAKER_15: Okay.
1:06:45
SPEAKER_15: As soon as I opened up the Cindy Lauper video, there's another one that's listed up here that I might like to go with.
1:06:52
SPEAKER_15: What do you think I should do?
1:06:53
SPEAKER_15: Should I go with my original one?
1:06:54
SPEAKER_04: Well, if you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have known any different.

SPEAKER_15: That's what I'm gonna do.
1:07:10
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
1:07:10
SPEAKER_15: So so this is my honorable mention.
1:07:13
SPEAKER_15: Uh, just because I saw this as soon as I opened up this Cindy Lauper video.
1:07:19
SPEAKER_15: Whitney! Right?
1:07:20
SPEAKER_15: Yes! Yeah.
1:07:22
SPEAKER_15: And and the only reason I'm not going with this is because I just felt like I should go with my first one.
1:07:28
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
1:07:29
SPEAKER_04: I never even thought about this one.
1:07:32
SPEAKER_15: Right?
1:07:32
SPEAKER_15: I mean, this is this is just a good time.
1:07:34
SPEAKER_15: It is a good time.
1:07:35
SPEAKER_15: And it's Whitney, you know.
1:07:37
SPEAKER_15: Come on.
1:07:39
SPEAKER_05: Never I'm mad, I'm mad at myself now.

SPEAKER_05: I didn't even think of this one.
1:07:42
SPEAKER_05: But this is my love Whitney.
1:07:43
SPEAKER_15: So this is my honorable mention, though.
1:07:45
SPEAKER_15: So I'm I'm only gonna go with my original just because I feel bad because I didn't have one.
1:07:50
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.

1:13:52
SPEAKER_05: I'm sure that's what happens.

1:13:56
SPEAKER_05: Read to me.
1:13:57
SPEAKER_05: Okay.
1:13:58
SPEAKER_05: Here we go.
1:13:59
SPEAKER_05: I want to tell you was a song written by George about the frustrations of having things to say but being unable to articulate them.
1:14:06
SPEAKER_05: Ooh, that's a big word.
1:14:08
SPEAKER_05: Quote, it's about the avalanche of thoughts that are so hard to write down or say or transmit, unquote, he later said, adding that if he were to write a song, write the song again, he would he would amend the bridge section, which says, But if I seem to act unkind, it's only me, it's not my mind.
1:14:26
SPEAKER_05: That's confusing things.
1:14:29
SPEAKER_05: So it was clear that his mind was responsible for confusion.
1:14:33
SPEAKER_05: Quote, the mind is the thing that hops about telling us to do this and do that.
1:14:38
SPEAKER_05: What we need to do is lose the mind, unquote.
1:14:43
SPEAKER_05: Appropriately for a song which was about which which was about not knowing what to say, I want to tell you was recorded under the nonsensical title Laxton's Superb.
1:14:55
unknown: What?
1:14:56
SPEAKER_05: I don't know.
1:14:58
SPEAKER_05: A name of an English apple, first suggested by engineer Jeff Emmerich.
1:15:03
SPEAKER_05: It later became known as I Don't Know after George Martin had asked George what he wanted to title it and had me given this negative answer.
1:15:15
SPEAKER_04: That's a great story, but that's okay.
1:15:20
SPEAKER_09: I want to tell you I feel like I don't know why.
1:15:27
SPEAKER_14: Have you ever done this song?
1:15:29
SPEAKER_14: I don't think so.
1:15:33
SPEAKER_10: I couldn't wait forever.

unknown: I've got time.

1:31:09
SPEAKER_05: It really is.
1:31:10
SPEAKER_15: Um and they they also have, I mean, for those of you that are listening that uh you have to that you're Swifties.
1:31:17
SPEAKER_15: You know, you have to have some sort of connection to Taylor Swift.
1:31:19
SPEAKER_15: They have written songs for Taylor Swift.
1:31:21
SPEAKER_15: Oh, I'm sure.

SPEAKER_15: Uh check them out if you ever get a chance.
1:31:28
SPEAKER_15: The Warren Brothers.
1:31:29
SPEAKER_15: What they typically do now is uh corporate functions.
1:31:34
SPEAKER_15: Like um like corporations will hire uh a a bunch of uh famous songwriters to come and just play their the hits that they've written.
1:31:42
SPEAKER_15: Oh right, yeah.
1:31:43
SPEAKER_15: And and and sometimes they'll do f like fundraisers and things like that.
1:31:46
SPEAKER_15: So I mean that's really how they're making their money, but I mean they're they occasionally have I I think Br um Brett Warren said on that podcast that I listened to that they hadn't had a song on the radio in four years.
1:31:59
SPEAKER_15: They have one now, right?
1:32:01
SPEAKER_15: But they hadn't had one on the radio in four years.
1:32:04
SPEAKER_05: That's why Yeah.
1:32:06
SPEAKER_05: I mean it's that's why there's nothing good on that.
1:32:08
SPEAKER_05: Right.
1:32:09
SPEAKER_15: Um so but but the fact that they've been doing this for so long and they've had such success and it's still a struggle to to to get to break through.
1:32:17
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
1:32:17
SPEAKER_15: You know, I mean people are still writing with them and stuff, but uh it's just the way the industry works is just so messed up.
1:32:23
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, it's a it's a it's a it's a tough yeah.
1:32:26
SPEAKER_05: It's a tough world.
1:32:27
SPEAKER_15: I mean d they're and they're not complaining because they're doing okay.

SPEAKER_15: I think I think they're they they've made their their uh fortune and and and are living off it so I'm I mean they're doing what they love.
1:32:39
SPEAKER_15: So I mean I mean who can ask for more than and Brad Warren uh he he talks about their philosophy.
1:32:48
SPEAKER_15: When their philosophy changed, uh that's when they started to have so much success.
1:32:53
SPEAKER_15: Right.
1:32:53
SPEAKER_15: And one of their philosophies was and you probably should listen to the podcast.
1:32:56
SPEAKER_14: Uh yeah.
1:32:57
SPEAKER_15: Yeah, uh their philosophy was, you know, and i i everything what can you do for me to help my career.
1:33:05

1:33:10
SPEAKER_15: Help you know, help other people.
