  SPEAKER_11: Yeah, yeah, definitely.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, so uh you you've developed a nice base.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_15: Let's yeah, well, yeah.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_11: By the end of you know, by the time you go back to school in August, you're gonna be, you know, a nice golden brown.

  SPEAKER_15: Well, you would hope, but I don't know, we'll see.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_11: We'll see.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_11: I'm just saying, man.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_15: Um so but that went well, and the the the the best part is it's behind me.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_15: Yep.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_15: It's done.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_15: Uh tomorrow after the pre-K and kindergarten uh concert, uh it will all the concerts will be behind me, so I will be on top of the world.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_15: Um after tomorrow.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_15: After tomorrow.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_15: Um I went to uh so so the concert was going kind of long, actually.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_15: And because I after I'm done at the the elementary school, I have to book it over to the high school to do my seventh period chorus.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_15: Right.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_15: And I literally drove in on two wheels and made it like three minutes before the bell rang and the chorus kids came down because that's how that's how late I was.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_15: So hopefully it doesn't happen like that tomorrow.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_15: I don't think it will.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_15: I think tomorrow's gonna be a little because there's not as many kids in the pre-K in kindergarten.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_15: So I think it'll be a little bit smoother and probably a little bit cuter, actually.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_15: So I'm excited about that.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_15: But yeah, uh, so that will wrap up my school concert season.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_15: Of course, I'm taking Eli to see Def Leopard on July 1st.

  SPEAKER_15: That will be his first concert.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_15: Yep.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_15: Uh and this is kind of cool.

  SPEAKER_15: I sent you a message about this, but my oldest boy who lives in New Hampshire, um wants to take me to a concert for Father's Day.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_15: Not on Father's Day, but it's in August.
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_15: Right.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_15: Um, and he knows that because he's like, What are you doing August 17th?
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_15: I said, And I looked, I said, That's a Sunday.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_15: I said, Nothing.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_15: He's like, You don't have any concerts or anything?
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_15: You know, you and the syndicate or whatever.
• 10:42

• 11:02
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_15: I was like, oh And I didn't realize that I would have been back to school by that point.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_15: That's early, but yeah.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_15: Because August 17th, I think I we usually go back the that week of the seven of the 17th, 18th, but we go back before that, I think.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_15: So anyway.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_15: He says, No, that'll just be too much.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_15: And I said, Well uh it is the doobie brothers.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_15: And I said, I can drive down Sunday, we'll go to the show, and then stay the night at his place, and then get up early and drive the five, six hours, whatever it is, home because I don't have to be back because the little kids aren't in school yet.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_15: Right.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_15: It's just the high school.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_15: Right.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_15: So I theoretically could drive all morning and get back by my several period class, which starts at about one fifty.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_11: Oh yeah, no problem.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_15: You know?
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_15: So I said, I said, book it, Dano.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_15: Noise.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_15: So he got the tickets.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_15: So so he and his wife and I are are going to see the Doobie Brothers, and that's why I was like, I was like, boys, it'd be great to have Doug.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_15: So that's why I was like, you should get tickets.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_15: But then of course I thought if you do get tickets, there's no guarantee that you're gonna be sitting next to us.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, that'd be like, you know, or anything like that.
• 12:26

  SPEAKER_14: It'd be awesome.
• 29:08
  SPEAKER_14: I would be like, yeah, that's awesome.
• 29:10
  SPEAKER_14: I think you're right.
• 29:10
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah, I think you're right.
• 29:12
  SPEAKER_11: Because in the beginning it was just Willie, and I was like, oh yeah, this is actually pretty cool.
• 29:16
  SPEAKER_11: Because I'm not a huge fan of the journey version anyway.
• 29:19
  SPEAKER_15: Of journeys.
• 29:20
  SPEAKER_15: That song.
• 29:21
  SPEAKER_11: Of like a faithful.
• 29:22
  SPEAKER_11: I'm not a big fan of this.
• 29:24
  SPEAKER_17: It's just too, it's just, you know, as a diabetic, it gives me, you know, it sends me to like I'm like, oh, I don't feel like I need to take some.
• 29:38
  SPEAKER_17: I need some I need some insulin.
• 29:40
  SPEAKER_17: You know what I mean?
• 29:46
  SPEAKER_02: Sing it, Doug.
• 29:48
  SPEAKER_02: This song sucks.
• 29:52
  SPEAKER_02: Cause Steve Perry thinks.
• 29:56
  SPEAKER_02: He's the greatest guy of all time.
• 30:05
  SPEAKER_02: People like this song.
• 30:09
  SPEAKER_02: I don't care for it.
• 30:13
  SPEAKER_02: It sends me into diabetic shock every time.
• 30:21
  SPEAKER_02: The internet is no place for this song.
• 30:26
  SPEAKER_02: We should have sent it on the space shuttle and sent it to Pluto.
• 30:33
  SPEAKER_02: And then nobody would ever have to hear it ever again.
• 30:40
  SPEAKER_02: Except for some alien that doesn't exist.
• 30:46
  SPEAKER_02: I'm forever not liking this song.
• 30:59
  SPEAKER_13: There.
• 31:00
  SPEAKER_13: We made it better.
• 31:03
  SPEAKER_11: Let's post this and see how many likes we get.
• 31:07
  SPEAKER_15: Of course, I do disagree with you.
• 31:08
  SPEAKER_15: I love the song face.
• 31:09
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah, I know, I know.
• 31:10
  SPEAKER_11: I like because you're a bit you're a huge journey fan too.
• 31:13
  SPEAKER_15: I am.
• 31:14
  SPEAKER_11: And I I and I like Journey too, but it that song just every time it comes on, I'm just like, oh.
• 31:19
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, no, it's Neil Sean's guitar in that song.
• 31:22
  SPEAKER_15: It's just it's just beautiful.
• 31:23
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah, I mean, I as far as me, I I I think maybe it's just like overexposure to the song because every time you hear a journey song, like a like a slow journey song, it's gonna be that song.
• 31:33
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 31:33
  SPEAKER_11: You know what I mean?
• 31:34
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
• 31:35
  SPEAKER_11: So uh yeah, I mean, I mean, up until the point where Steve Perry came on to that, that was actually a pretty good version.
• 31:43
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 31:43
  SPEAKER_15: Like I said, I love Willie Nelson, and he's 92 freaking years old.
• 31:46
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 31:47
  SPEAKER_15: And and he could have done like a Johnny Cash thing if Steve would have left it alone.
• 31:50
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah, if Steve had left that alone, that would have been awesome.
• 31:53
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 31:53
  SPEAKER_11: I would have loved it.
• 31:55
  SPEAKER_15: I agree.
• 31:56
  SPEAKER_15: Let's change tunes now because I have a new song, which I think is I haven't heard it yet.
• 32:02
  SPEAKER_15: Okay.
• 32:02
  SPEAKER_15: But um curious as to what this sounds like.
• 32:05
  SPEAKER_15: It's an interesting pairing.
• 32:07
  SPEAKER_15: Tony Iomi of Black Sabbath has teamed up with Robbie Williams.
• 32:14
  SPEAKER_14: Really?
• 32:15
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 32:18
  SPEAKER_15: It's gonna be part of Robbie Williams' upcoming Spaceship Rocket or Rocket.
• 32:23
  SPEAKER_15: No, no, Spaceship Rocket.
• 32:24
  SPEAKER_15: Okay.
• 32:24

  SPEAKER_15: Um is not the only former Sabbath member to be a part of Williams' album.
• 32:37
  SPEAKER_15: Glenn Hughes also participated in it.
• 32:39
  SPEAKER_15: Uh, but Williams has said that Rocket is his top choice.
• 32:43
  SPEAKER_15: This track is massive guitars, as you can imagine.
• 32:45
  SPEAKER_15: It's adrenaline-filled and balls to the wall.
• 32:48
  SPEAKER_15: That one in particular is my favorite song off my new album that I've just announced is happening.
• 32:51
  SPEAKER_15: Okay, so I thought we would listen to it.
• 32:54
  SPEAKER_15: Alright.
• 32:54
  SPEAKER_15: Robbie Williams, who is uh a British pop.
• 32:58
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah, he's kind of like a pop guy.
• 32:59
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah, I always I don't know why, but I always uh equate him with uh what's his face?
• 33:05
  SPEAKER_11: George Michael?
• 33:06
  SPEAKER_11: No, no.
• 33:07
  SPEAKER_11: Um Livin' La Vita Loca guy.

• 33:13
  SPEAKER_11: Really?
• 33:14
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah, I don't know why.
• 33:15
  SPEAKER_11: I uh I kind of put him in the same category.
• 33:17
  SPEAKER_15: Okay.
• 33:18
  SPEAKER_15: Um well let's see what it sounds like.
• 33:21
  SPEAKER_15: This is Rocket from uh Robbie Williams and Tony Iomi of Black Sabbath.
• 33:33
  unknown: It's not a servant of farms and the farms and you don't mind.
• 34:26
  SPEAKER_13: I d I don't hate it.
• 34:27
  SPEAKER_13: Avrilavina shit.
• 34:28
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's like a pop punk.
• 34:32
  SPEAKER_15: Doesn't sound like a Tony Tony Iom influenced song.
• 34:36
  SPEAKER_11: Not really.
• 34:37
  SPEAKER_11: I I mean that's definitely not a top uh Tony Iomie sound.
• 34:43
  SPEAKER_11: No, no, it's like it's filtered or something.
• 35:03
  SPEAKER_11: That that sounds like I don't hate it.
• 35:15
  SPEAKER_02: No, it's it's not bad.
• 35:28
  SPEAKER_15: I mean it's not it's not bullying me over, but it's not I'm not like wow, it's great.
• 35:35
  SPEAKER_16: It's good.
• 35:35
  SPEAKER_16: It's not terrible.
• 35:36
  SPEAKER_16: It's good.
• 35:36
  SPEAKER_15: It's good.
• 35:37
  SPEAKER_15: Uh once again, Brit Pop comes out in the fall.
• 35:39
  SPEAKER_15: There is no release date as of yet.
• 35:41
  SPEAKER_15: So uh we'll see how that uh we'll see how that works.
• 35:45
  SPEAKER_15: What happened to her?
• 35:47
  SPEAKER_15: Um you know what time it is.
• 35:48
  SPEAKER_15: Oh, actually, um before we do that, I was looking um I have found some old demos of mine.
• 35:57
  SPEAKER_15: Um I thought maybe we could listen to a couple just because uh they're never going to see the light of day.
• 36:06
  SPEAKER_15: Um maybe I've already played some of these.
• 36:10
  SPEAKER_15: Um there's one that I know I haven't played.
• 36:13
  SPEAKER_15: Uh this one.
• 36:17
  SPEAKER_15: I think maybe I have played this one.
• 36:20
  SPEAKER_15: I don't remember because that's what I'm playing it again.
• 36:23
  SPEAKER_15: Um this one has a great guitar solo in it.
• 36:26
  SPEAKER_15: It's one of my favorite guitar solo I've ever done, and it's really not that fantastic.
• 36:31
  SPEAKER_15: Alright.
• 36:31
  SPEAKER_15: What if it's a song?
• 36:33
  SPEAKER_15: Um and I think there's too many words for this tempo.
• 36:39
  SPEAKER_15: Uh I think it's going too fast for the amount of words that are in it.
• 36:43
  SPEAKER_15: So this will never see the light of day.
• 36:45
  SPEAKER_15: Um, this is called If I Said I Would.
• 36:48
  SPEAKER_15: Have I played this?
• 36:51
  SPEAKER_11: You got me, man.
• 36:52
  SPEAKER_04: Doesn't sound funny Where would you go if I said I would leave?
• 37:08
  SPEAKER_04: If I forgot that it's better to give than to receive.
• 37:14
  SPEAKER_04: Would you love me like you thought you should?
• 37:18
  SPEAKER_04: If I said I would remember.
• 37:23
  SPEAKER_04: Nope, nope.
• 37:27
  SPEAKER_04: If I said I changed, if all the ways you know me completely raised.
• 38:35
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, it's not like gonna bow you over, but but uh I always liked it.
• 38:39
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, it was that fits perfectly with a song.
• 38:42
  SPEAKER_15: If we stop.
• 38:42
  SPEAKER_15: Uh and then I have this one, One Day Soon.
• 38:46
  SPEAKER_15: Um, and again, uh the only reason I'm doing this is because I don't know that anything's gonna ever happen with these songs, whether we're gonna record them or you know, whatever, but have you heard this one?
• 39:01
  SPEAKER_15: Nope.
• 39:03
  SPEAKER_15: I'm holding out on you, apparently.
• 39:04
  SPEAKER_15: That's all.
• 39:05
  SPEAKER_04: Standing out the window, coming down the aisle.
• 39:09
  SPEAKER_04: Never thought I'd give you this much foul, but on the spell.
• 39:14
  SPEAKER_04: I feel for your job.
• 39:21
  SPEAKER_12: Yo, that's actually foam.
• 39:26
  SPEAKER_04: I don't know if I'm a still out of the phone.
• 39:31
  SPEAKER_12: That's what that is.
• 39:36
  SPEAKER_11: Was it one of those toy saxophones that like Jack Black played on the tonight, Joe?
• 40:40
  SPEAKER_15: Anyway.
• 40:40
  SPEAKER_15: Um very rockabilly.
• 40:42
  SPEAKER_15: Right?
• 40:43
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 40:44
  SPEAKER_15: Uh this one, uh I'm only gonna do two more.
• 40:47
  SPEAKER_15: So this one, this is how my a lot of my demos typically are.
• 40:52
  SPEAKER_15: Just me sitting at the kitchen table with an acoustic guitar.
• 40:55
  SPEAKER_15: But I like this song.
• 40:56
  SPEAKER_15: I added a harmony vocal to it.
• 40:58
  SPEAKER_15: Uh, you can hear Finn in the background.
• 41:00
  SPEAKER_15: This is when he was really little.
• 41:02
  SPEAKER_15: You can hear Finn in the background like trying to clap the the beat.
• 41:05
  SPEAKER_07: Okay.
• 41:06
  SPEAKER_11: So this one sounds familiar.
• 41:18
  SPEAKER_11: Really?
• 41:19
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
• 41:24
  SPEAKER_04: Wake up.
• 41:27
  SPEAKER_04: I kiss your mouth.
• 41:30
  SPEAKER_04: Then I'm going to some feet.
• 41:35
  SPEAKER_04: Turn down the light on the day.
• 41:42
  SPEAKER_16: How old was it?
• 41:43
  SPEAKER_16: I don't remember it.
• 41:44
  SPEAKER_16: I don't know.
• 41:45
  SPEAKER_16: I don't remember when this song was written.
• 41:47
  SPEAKER_11: Can we disappear?
• 41:48
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah, this song sounds really familiar.
• 41:51
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
• 41:54
  SPEAKER_04: Put it all over there.
• 41:56
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, where we never met.
• 41:59
  SPEAKER_04: No one will know.
• 42:02
  SPEAKER_04: No one will hear.
• 42:05
  SPEAKER_04: Just click your heels together, we can disappear.
• 42:09
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 42:09
  SPEAKER_15: This one's really familiar.
• 42:11
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, I think maybe I played that one for you.
• 42:12
  SPEAKER_15: So this one I haven't played for anyone.
• 42:15
  SPEAKER_15: Um, and I um I'm hesitant to play it now.
• 42:19
  SPEAKER_15: This was kind of a joke song.
• 42:21
  SPEAKER_11: Alright.
• 42:22
  SPEAKER_15: Um it's a it's a it's a country uh ballad.
• 42:27
  SPEAKER_15: Um it is not autobiographical.
• 42:31
  SPEAKER_15: Let's say that.
• 42:32
  SPEAKER_15: Okay.
• 42:33
  SPEAKER_15: And um because I know my my wife probably will listen to this podcast and think this song is about her.
• 42:41
  SPEAKER_15: But it's not.
• 42:42
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah, it's not one of the 75,000 songs you've written about her.
• 42:45
  SPEAKER_11: Right.
• 42:46
  SPEAKER_15: But this one, it starts off like This is not one of those.
• 42:49
  SPEAKER_15: It starts off like a like a just a down on his luck country ballad, right?
• 42:53
  SPEAKER_15: Okay.
• 42:54
  SPEAKER_15: But then it gets ridiculous.
• 42:56
  SPEAKER_15: Like the lyrics get ridiculous.
• 42:58
  SPEAKER_15: Like I think they're kind of funny.
• 43:00
  SPEAKER_15: This is called She Don't Want Me.
• 43:01
  SPEAKER_15: Are you drunk?
• 43:02
  SPEAKER_15: No, I maybe I don't I don't get drunk very often, but we had a fight the kind that never dies.
• 43:17
  SPEAKER_04: I can still see the embers burning.
• 43:23
  SPEAKER_04: But after twenty years I've changed just a little light around the top, flick around the middle.
• 43:35
  SPEAKER_04: She swore she never walked right out the door.
• 43:40
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I know she loves me.
• 43:44
  SPEAKER_04: She don't want me anymore.
• 43:51
  SPEAKER_04: I've tried the gym, but I couldn't find the time.
• 43:58
  SPEAKER_04: Besides, I like.
• 44:00
  SPEAKER_04: Pizza and a cool pizza.
• 44:04
  SPEAKER_04: I've a notion of perfume romance.
• 44:10
  SPEAKER_04: Just so I can get a dance.
• 44:24
  SPEAKER_04: Is this where Steve Perry comes to me at the animal?
• 44:30
  SPEAKER_04: She'll never say it's true.
• 44:33
  SPEAKER_04: She'll say it's crazy talk.
• 44:36
  SPEAKER_04: But she closes her eyes when she's not watching the clock the old past turned into show.
• 44:49
  SPEAKER_04: And oh she loves me.
• 44:52
  SPEAKER_04: She don't want me anymore.
• 44:57
  SPEAKER_04: That's a good line.
• 45:01
  SPEAKER_04: She looks better than she did in high school.
• 45:07
  SPEAKER_04: I can't put that down at the sprit.
• 45:21
  SPEAKER_04: She don't make a side.
• 45:26
  SPEAKER_04: She don't make a side.
• 45:29
  SPEAKER_04: She just shakes her head.
• 45:32
  SPEAKER_04: But she's built to pour a wall down the middle of a bed.
• 45:39
  SPEAKER_04: Sometimes I just won't make that lion roll.
• 45:44
  SPEAKER_04: I know she loves me.
• 45:48
  SPEAKER_04: She don't want me anymore.
• 45:54
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah, you kind of went off all rails.
• 45:56
  SPEAKER_15: I did, I did.
• 45:57
  SPEAKER_15: It was it was in in you're right.
• 45:59
  SPEAKER_15: It started out as a great idea.
• 46:01
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
• 46:02
  SPEAKER_15: You know, um the the uh we built a fire.
• 46:06
  SPEAKER_11: You still see the embers in her eyes and her eyes.
• 46:08
  SPEAKER_15: I know that she loves me, she don't want me anymore.
• 46:09
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah, the great lines.
• 46:10
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 46:11
  SPEAKER_11: And then I just the donut.
• 46:15
  SPEAKER_11: I was like, what the freak is?
• 46:18
  SPEAKER_11: I'm thicker around the middle.
• 46:19
  SPEAKER_11: What does that just do with donuts?
• 46:24
  SPEAKER_15: She doesn't want me anymore.
• 46:26
  SPEAKER_11: I like donuts.
• 46:27
  SPEAKER_11: I wanted to write a song.
• 46:28
  SPEAKER_11: I wanted to write a song with a donut in it, okay, dog?
• 46:31
  SPEAKER_11: Stop being a jerk.
• 46:32
  SPEAKER_11: And I like pizza and beer.
• 46:34

  SPEAKER_11: Uh yeah.
• 46:44
  SPEAKER_11: So there's that.

• 46:53
  SPEAKER_15: No, we're not gonna do that.
• 46:54
  SPEAKER_15: Um I think most of these you've probably heard.
• 46:58

• 47:02
  SPEAKER_15: I just wanted to share a few of those.
• 47:03

• 47:55
  SPEAKER_04: They say, Aren't you a little old?

• 48:14
  SPEAKER_04: They say, Don't you have enough?
• 48:16
  SPEAKER_04: What's it take to feel your way?
• 48:20

  SPEAKER_11: Two events during 1964 were to have a profound effect on John's writing.
• 1:05:53
  SPEAKER_11: The first was hearing Bob Dylan's music in Paris during January.
• 1:05:57
  SPEAKER_11: When Paul acquired the free will in Bob Dylan.
• 1:06:00
  SPEAKER_11: From an interviewer at a local radio station.
• 1:06:03
  SPEAKER_11: Paul had heard Dylan's music before through his student friends in Liverpool, but it was the first time John had heard it.
• 1:06:09
  SPEAKER_11: After hearing Freewheelin, which was Dylan's second album, they went out and bought his debut album, Bob Dylan.
• 1:06:14
  SPEAKER_11: And according to John quote, for the rest of our three weeks, we didn't stop playing them.
• 1:06:20
  SPEAKER_11: We all went potty on Dylan.
• 1:06:23
  SPEAKER_11: Unquote.
• 1:06:24
  SPEAKER_11: I don't know what that means.
• 1:06:25
  SPEAKER_11: That's probably some British thing.
• 1:06:27
  SPEAKER_11: The second event to affect John in a big way was meeting journalist Kenneth Alsop, a writer for the Daily Mail and regular interviewer on Tonight, BBC.
• 1:06:36
  SPEAKER_11: Television news program.
• 1:06:39
  SPEAKER_11: John first met him on March 23rd when he was interviewed for four minutes on Tonight about his book in his own right.
• 1:06:47
  SPEAKER_11: And then again at Foil's Literary Luncheon at the Dorchester Hotel in London's Park Lane.

  SPEAKER_11: Hall Sop was a handsome craggy Yorkshire man.
• 1:06:57
  SPEAKER_11: Was 44 years old.

  SPEAKER_11: Why why is this in here?
• 1:07:00
  SPEAKER_11: Does it really matter?
• 1:07:03
  SPEAKER_11: It just needs to fill the page.
• 1:07:05
  SPEAKER_11: I guess.
• 1:07:08
  SPEAKER_11: Alright, he had been in journalism since 1938 with a brief interruption caused by the war.
• 1:07:13
  SPEAKER_11: No, really?
• 1:07:15
  SPEAKER_11: Was Britain in that war?
• 1:07:17
  SPEAKER_11: Jesus.
• 1:07:18
  SPEAKER_11: During which he served in the Royal Air Force.
• 1:07:21
  SPEAKER_11: It was in the Green Room, the hospitality suite, at the BBC's Lime Grove Studios on March 23rd that Al Sop first spoke to John about his songwriting, encouraging him not to hide his true feelings behind the usual banalities of the pop song.
• 1:07:34
  SPEAKER_11: It was obvious to Alsop from reading his own in his own right that John had much more to give if he was prepared to open up to his deeper feelings.
• 1:07:42
  SPEAKER_11: Years later, John told his confidant, Elliot Mintz, that this meeting marked a significant turning point in his oh.
• 1:07:50
  SPEAKER_11: This is really long.
• 1:07:50
  SPEAKER_11: I'm done.
• 1:07:54
  SPEAKER_11: I thought this was really short.
• 1:07:56
  SPEAKER_11: Um, I'll I'll read the actual part about the song.
• 1:08:01
  SPEAKER_11: How about that?
• 1:08:02
  SPEAKER_11: Jeez.
• 1:08:03
  SPEAKER_11: There's a lot of stuff.
• 1:08:04
  SPEAKER_11: This is a I wow.
• 1:08:05
  SPEAKER_11: Okay.
• 1:08:06
  SPEAKER_11: Although recorded five months later, I'm a Loser was the first of this meeting with Alsap.
• 1:08:10
  SPEAKER_11: It would be wrong to say it was a complete change of direction because from the beginning, John had written songs in which he exposed himself as lonely, sad, and abandoned, but in I'm a loser, he let a little more of his true self show.
• 1:08:21
  SPEAKER_11: On the surface, another song about having lost a girl, but the lines which announce that beneath his mask he's wearing a frown suggest that he considers himself a loser in more ways than one.
• 1:08:31
  SPEAKER_11: He's not just a loser in love, he feels like he's a loser in life.
• 1:08:36
  SPEAKER_11: Um this would all be idle speculation if it wasn't for the fact that I'm a loser can now be seen as early stage in John's torturous journey towards candid self-res revelation in his songwriting.
• 1:08:48
  SPEAKER_11: At the time, he was quick to credit the effect Bob Dylan had on I'm a loser.
• 1:08:52
  SPEAKER_11: Quote, anyone who is in the best of his field, as Dylan is, is bound to influence people.
• 1:08:58
  SPEAKER_11: Unquote.
• 1:08:59
  SPEAKER_11: He said it one time.
• 1:09:00
  SPEAKER_11: I wouldn't be surprised if we influenced him in some way.
• 1:09:03
  SPEAKER_15: I bet they had.
• 1:09:04
  SPEAKER_11: I bet that was Peter.
• 1:09:05
  SPEAKER_11: So yeah, there was a lot there.
• 1:09:07
  SPEAKER_11: There was a lot more than I thought it was.
• 1:09:08
  SPEAKER_15: That's okay.
• 1:09:09
  SPEAKER_11: I heard a lot of words, and it's hard.
• 1:09:11
  SPEAKER_15: Words are hard.
• 1:09:14
  SPEAKER_11: Not even crayon.
• 1:09:16
  SPEAKER_15: All right.
• 1:09:18
  SPEAKER_15: I have an album.
• 1:09:22
  SPEAKER_11: It's good to have a goal.
• 1:09:24
  SPEAKER_16: Let the guessing begin.
• 1:09:26
  SPEAKER_11: I don't want to guess.
• 1:09:27
  SPEAKER_11: Just tell me what it is.
• 1:09:29
  SPEAKER_16: No.
• 1:10:00
  SPEAKER_13: I mean God.

• 1:16:11
  SPEAKER_10: Think about it.

  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 1:17:21
  SPEAKER_15: See.
• 1:17:21
  SPEAKER_15: Um I don't see where it says anything.
• 1:17:35
  SPEAKER_15: Well, that's it's in it's entirely possible.
• 1:17:38
  SPEAKER_11: That's just stupid.
• 1:17:39
  SPEAKER_11: That should be in there.
• 1:17:40
  SPEAKER_15: It wasn't it's entirely possible it was recorded at Town City.

  SPEAKER_11: But I like it.
• 1:18:14
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah, no, it's good.
• 1:18:15
  SPEAKER_15: Uh okay, so this is why I say um it it um I have a point of contention that this band is still around.
• 1:18:25
  SPEAKER_11: Okay.
• 1:18:26
  SPEAKER_11: Just because it nobody in the band actually was in the band?
• 1:18:30
  SPEAKER_15: Well to a degree, yes.
• 1:18:33
  SPEAKER_15: Because I mean the You know, like Leonard Skinnard.
• 1:18:38
  SPEAKER_15: Right?
• 1:18:38
  SPEAKER_15: Leonard Skinner.
• 1:18:39
  SPEAKER_11: Well, that wasn't their fault.
• 1:18:40
  SPEAKER_11: I know, no, no.
• 1:18:41
  SPEAKER_11: They were killed in plane crashes.
• 1:18:42
  SPEAKER_11: I know.
• 1:18:43
  SPEAKER_11: I know any plane crashes.
• 1:18:45
  SPEAKER_15: And and but but but some of the members, Gary Rosington, who wasn't killed, was in the band, so he's original.
• 1:18:51
  SPEAKER_15: Right.
• 1:18:51
  SPEAKER_15: Um and Johnny Van Zant's uh his it was his brother.
• 1:18:56
  SPEAKER_15: His brother or something.
• 1:18:57
  SPEAKER_15: Donnie Donnie was his brother, wasn't it?
• 1:18:59
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 1:18:59
  SPEAKER_15: Something like that.
• 1:19:00
  SPEAKER_15: Or Ronnie, I mean, sorry.
• 1:19:02
  SPEAKER_15: Um and so he became the lead singer.
• 1:19:05
  SPEAKER_15: Ricky Medlock was a guitar player, uh, and he joined the band shortly thereafter, I think.
• 1:19:12
  SPEAKER_15: And he's not an original member, but he's been there for forty, fifty years, whatever it is.
• 1:19:19
  SPEAKER_15: You know, and and and so the fact that they still tour, I get.
• 1:19:25
  SPEAKER_15: You know.
• 1:19:26
  SPEAKER_15: Um Lou Graham was the original lead singer.
• 1:19:30
  SPEAKER_15: Then they then Lou left, and they got uh uh another guy, John Lou Reed.
• 1:19:38
  SPEAKER_15: Nope, not Lou Reed.
• 1:19:40
  SPEAKER_15: Can you imagine Lou Reed in Foreigner?
• 1:19:42
  SPEAKER_15: That was sick.
• 1:19:43
  SPEAKER_11: Imagine if he ever did an album with Metallica.
• 1:19:46
  SPEAKER_11: That would really suck.
• 1:19:47
  SPEAKER_11: Glad that never happened.
• 1:19:49
  SPEAKER_15: So they replaced him with uh a guy for one album.
• 1:19:54
  SPEAKER_15: Um because and it wasn't it was not a terrible album, but it just the the the chem chemistry wasn't there and they and it was not their it was probably one of their least successful albums.
• 1:20:05
  SPEAKER_15: I think it was called Unusual Heat.
• 1:20:07
  SPEAKER_15: Um and uh so they scanned him.
• 1:20:10
  SPEAKER_15: And then they got Kelly Hansen, right?
• 1:20:13
  SPEAKER_15: Uh who sounded remarkably like Lou Graham.
• 1:20:17
  SPEAKER_15: Right.
• 1:20:17
  SPEAKER_15: And he had been with them ever since.
• 1:20:21
  SPEAKER_15: And, you know, Mick Jones was in the band, Jeff Pilson's in the band.
• 1:20:24
  SPEAKER_15: Jeff Pilson has been the bass player in the band for twenty-five years, something like that.
• 1:20:30
  SPEAKER_15: Um, and then there's uh there's other guys, and I'm not saying I'm not taking anything away from the band itself.
• 1:20:36
  SPEAKER_15: But essentially it's a cover band now.
• 1:20:38
  SPEAKER_11: Right.
• 1:20:39
  SPEAKER_15: Um and this you know, Foreigner announced I think we talked about this in the podcast, uh Kelly Hanson was not going to tour with them when they go to Europe because of a Yeah, he had some issue about you know getting into the into Europe.
• 1:20:59
  SPEAKER_15: Right, getting into Europe.
• 1:21:00
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 1:21:01
  SPEAKER_15: And Foreigner are supposedly on their farewell tour.
• 1:21:05
  SPEAKER_15: Right.
• 1:21:06
  SPEAKER_15: Right?
• 1:21:06
  SPEAKER_15: They announced that it was their farewell tour because Mickey Mick Jones doesn't sing with them anymore, probably play with them anymore.
• 1:21:11
  SPEAKER_15: So they were on their fell farewell tour, and now Kelly Hansen can't go to Europe.
• 1:21:16
  SPEAKER_15: And Kelly Hansen just announced that he's leaving Foreigner.
• 1:21:22
  SPEAKER_15: Right.
• 1:21:22
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
• 1:21:23
  SPEAKER_15: And they have a new lead singer that's taking over.
• 1:21:26
  SPEAKER_15: Right.
• 1:21:26
  SPEAKER_15: Which means I don't think Foreigner's going away.
• 1:21:33
  SPEAKER_15: So this is this is their performance on The Voice the other night recently.
• 1:21:40
  SPEAKER_15: So this is Kelly Hansen singing.
• 1:21:48
  SPEAKER_01: After 20 magical years funding this band, this will be my last year with Coroner.
• 1:21:56
  SPEAKER_01: At the end of this summer, a new and great voice will sing these songs to you, my friend Luis Baldonado.
• 1:23:40
  SPEAKER_11: So that's both Louise and Kelly.
• 1:23:41
  SPEAKER_11: Right.
• 1:23:43
  SPEAKER_11: Wait, where did all those people come from, right?
• 1:23:47
  SPEAKER_11: What the?
• 1:23:50
  SPEAKER_02: What is going on?
• 1:23:51
  SPEAKER_15: Wait, watch, watch Kelly hit this note.
• 1:24:00
  SPEAKER_15: So after 20 years, Kelly Hansen, who's in his 60s, has decided He doesn't look it, man.
• 1:24:05
  SPEAKER_15: Because he can't he he's he he won't always be able to hit those notes and he wants to go out on top.
• 1:24:11
  SPEAKER_11: Apparently can't go to Europe, right?
• 1:24:14
  SPEAKER_15: For some unknown reason.
• 1:24:15
  SPEAKER_15: Luis Maldonado, I don't know how old he is, but he looks late 20s.
• 1:24:19
  SPEAKER_16: Yeah, early 30s.
• 1:24:21
  SPEAKER_16: Yeah.
• 1:24:21
  SPEAKER_16: Uh and he's got a killer voice.
• 1:24:23
  SPEAKER_16: Yeah, he sounds great, man.
• 1:24:25
  SPEAKER_15: Um But then you get into this whole thing like like KISS.
• 1:24:30
  SPEAKER_15: Remember the band?
• 1:24:31
  SPEAKER_15: Remember the band Kiss, Doug?
• 1:24:32
  SPEAKER_15: No, never heard of him at all, ever.
• 1:24:35
  SPEAKER_15: When they uh there was this whole thing where where the uh Paul and Gene had always said, Well, because of the makeup, we can just put other people in there.
• 1:24:44
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah, and the band could carry on.
• 1:24:45
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 1:24:46
  SPEAKER_15: And he's probably not wrong.
• 1:24:49
  SPEAKER_11: I mean, who's really gonna know the difference?
• 1:24:51
  SPEAKER_11: Right.
• 1:24:51
  SPEAKER_11: If you get people that look and sound the same, you can get away with it.
• 1:24:55
  SPEAKER_15: So so I and I like the fact because part of me says, get this guy in uh Luis Maldonado singing vocals for you, and just start a new band.
• 1:25:11
  SPEAKER_15: You know, and and do and do new music under a new band name.
• 1:25:16
  SPEAKER_15: And then the other part of me is like, well then who's gonna play the foreigner songs that people love?
• 1:25:23
  SPEAKER_15: You know?
• 1:25:23
  SPEAKER_11: I mean Yeah, it's a very it's a it's a it's a razor edge.
• 1:25:27
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
• 1:25:27
  SPEAKER_11: You know, you can't uh where do you go?
• 1:25:30
  SPEAKER_15: It's nice that you can say, I'm going to see Foreigner.
• 1:25:35
  SPEAKER_15: And you're gonna hear those songs.
• 1:25:38
  SPEAKER_15: It's not gonna be by any of the original members.
• 1:25:41
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
• 1:25:43
  SPEAKER_15: But it's will still be really good.
• 1:25:46
  SPEAKER_15: Oh.
• 1:25:47
  SPEAKER_15: And still the songs will, you know, will sound really good.
• 1:25:50
  SPEAKER_15: So I don't know.
• 1:25:51
  SPEAKER_15: I'm on the fence about it.
• 1:25:52
  SPEAKER_11: I mean Yeah, it's it's it's uh it's you know.
• 1:25:55
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 1:25:56
  SPEAKER_11: What do you do?
• 1:25:56
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
• 1:25:57
  SPEAKER_11: You know, it's just the way it's it's nature, it's better than anything coming out now.
• 1:26:01
  SPEAKER_15: And they and they have Mick Jones' blessing.
• 1:26:03
  SPEAKER_15: I mean, Mick Jones, I think, picked this guy, Louis Moldonato.
• 1:26:06
  SPEAKER_15: Oh, sure.

  SPEAKER_15: You know and obviously he's got the chop, so he can do it.
• 1:26:10
  SPEAKER_14: He sounds a lot like Lou Graham's.
• 1:26:12
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:26:12
  SPEAKER_11: I mean Lou Reed, sorry.
• 1:26:14
  SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
• 1:26:16
  SPEAKER_15: Um, I saw, by the way, I saw an um interview.
• 1:26:21
  SPEAKER_15: Um I think it was, I wonder if I could find.
• 1:26:24
  SPEAKER_15: It was just a snippet um of Kirk Hammett with with Ricky Auto.

  SPEAKER_15: Oh, I think this is it.

  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:26:54
  SPEAKER_00: Metallico has always tried different things.
• 1:26:57
  SPEAKER_00: We've always took a chance.
• 1:26:58
  SPEAKER_00: Even though sometimes they've failed horribly from a commercial standpoint.
• 1:27:04
  SPEAKER_00: Lulu, the album we did with Lou Reed, and also seeing Anger.
• 1:27:08
  SPEAKER_00: Those are really divisive.
• 1:27:09
  SPEAKER_00: I think stuff like that's important to have in your catalog.
• 1:27:12
  SPEAKER_00: You know, you want peaks and valleys, you want contrast.
• 1:27:15
  SPEAKER_00: It will makes it interesting.
• 1:27:16
  SPEAKER_00: If you have a catalog that's just perfect, people get bored of it.
• 1:27:19
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 1:27:20
  SPEAKER_00: You know, sometimes people want to get challenged by their favorite band.
• 1:27:23
  SPEAKER_00: The first three or four yes albums are brilliant, but then they took a freaking left turn into somewhere else.
• 1:27:30
  SPEAKER_00: And I loved it because it was challenging, right?
• 1:27:33
  SPEAKER_00: It forced me to listen even harder.
• 1:27:36
  SPEAKER_00: Metallica is old.
