  Speaker 2: Doing great? I got my sidekick right here, so yeah,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: we're good.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I love what you have done with this and for
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: so many different reasons. And it's because I grew up
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: in the age of funk and to hear funk fusion
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: fusing with rock right now like you have done with
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: metal health Oh my god, Bootsy, come on. This is
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: where we are in the world where everybody says, yeah,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: that's my song. Of course it's your song. Every song
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: is our song today.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Right right well, you know, I'm glad to be able
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: to have been out on the road, have been able
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: to correspond and collaborate with all these different people, you know.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: And my dream was always to be able to.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Take the ones that are kind of unfit and put
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: a face to him, be a voice for him. And
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: because we all go through the same kind of thing,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: especially creative people. I mean not to say that regular
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: people don't.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Go through it. They go through it too, maybe even
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: more so.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: But you know, the musicians and the artists, you know,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: I wanted to speak to them because they have voices,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: and we all need to be talking about people's mental
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: health because it affects all of us. And so that's
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: what I wanted to do with this album, Metal Health,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: is just to speak to that so people can have
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: a way of getting on the dance floor and you
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: don't have to wait for nobody to make you get
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: on it.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: You already should be on it.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: And we're saying this, all right, it's okay to not
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: be okay, And then when you think about that, it
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: really is okay, you know. And so I'm letting people
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: know that we're saying it, you know, you know, and
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: we've been through the ringer, So you know, it's it's
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: all right now. Jimmy said it back in the sixties, sixties,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: late sixties, he did, you know, So you know, we
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: wanted to follow up with the message because the people,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: you know, they can't They heard it, but they didn't
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: really hear it.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: They didn't absorb it.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: And that's what we want to do now is let
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: the people absorb it for themselves.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: See, that's what I love about what you're doing, especially
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: with manic depression, because I'm going to be very open
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: and honest with you here is that I went to
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: my church and I said, I need to talk just
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: to the artists, the creative people, because they're in our
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: language in a world that the church really does not understand.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: We do, but we don't. And they said, no, we
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: don't do that. So I said, well, then I've got
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: to go find someplace where I need to get into
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the lives of these creative people. And then now here
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: comes manic depression. When you sit down and experience this song,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: the separation between every single musical instrument gives anybody who
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: might be struggling an opportunity to tap into their own
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: individual energy because that's what the song offers.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: That's what it is. Yeah, you're absolutely right. I haven't
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: heard a better excellent than what you just did, what
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: you just gave and yeah you did on it.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Please did not move. We'll be right back with Bochie Collins.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Coming up next the name of the album Metal Health.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: We are back with singer, songwriter and funk master Boosie Collins. Well,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: one of the things that I've always loved about you
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: is that you do believe in the extension of exploration.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Because that's what I feel through this whole entire thing,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: even with Game on Fire. I mean, there's so much
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: going on, even with harmonic voices. I love that kind
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: of exploration.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Well, well, you know, we don't wait for people to
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: catch up. You know, we just go ahead. We just
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: go ahead and put it in there. If you're feel
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: in it, if it if it makes you move, if
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: it makes you groove, and even if it don't, if
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: it makes you feel a certain way that people normally feel,
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: you want to put it out there, you know, because
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: that's what I'm used to doing, is getting it out
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: and that's what has kept us in uh in like cages.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: You know, we don't we don't get things out, you know,
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: and so but with funk, you know, that's our whole gig.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: If you're standing in the way the bathroom, you in
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: a way, you know, it's like, get out, get out
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: O way.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I gotta use it back.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: What you've done with Bernie in the Sky. It's so futuristic.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: And I want to be at a live performance with
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: you because when you bring up purple Haze in that,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I want to see what you're gonna do with the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: light show because I know you're a showman on that
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: stage and you're not gonna let that line just fly by.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: You're gonna make sure that we all experience it.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Whoa man, You have definitely visualized what I've been visualizing.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: That's pretty crazy. Nobody never told me that. Man.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Wow, we really appreciate you, man, because that's the message
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: with trying to to put out there.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Well haven't we learned from Glenn Campbell, who proved to
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: everybody in the creative world as well as anybody in
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the world that you might be struck down with Alzheimer's,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: but the music lives on. He proved it. He can't
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: do it.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well, well see, I think the key to
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: it is you know, one has to do it, then
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: two has to do it, then three. It can't be
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: so many gaps in between, you know, we have to keep.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: It on a roll.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: That's why it's so important for us to get this,
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: not not just the message, but the purpose out. You know.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: It's not just to make a smash record or smash recording.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: It's to enlighten us all, you know, not just enlighten me,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: you know, or the musicians, but it's to enlighten us all,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: you know, without preaching. Yeah, yes, you know, that's what's
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: got us all messed up. You know, everybody. You got
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: to respect everybody's father, and whoever they.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Want to embrace, they can embrace.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: But you know, it's about disrespecting everybody's father, you know,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: and then embracing them.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: You know, Like that's what we do with this music.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: You know, it don't matter what the genre is, you know,
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: it's about it's about the purpose you know, of us,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: you know, getting together and staying together and presenting enlightenment
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: to the world.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Isn't that why you put so much focus on the
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: lyrics of the song Recovery Because I feel like God,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I wish I could have been a fly on the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: wall because I would have loved it if they said, no,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: you need to take this word out, you need to
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: do this, you need to bend this, because I would
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: have said, hell, no, I'm not doing that. This song
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: is about recovery.
