10:11
SPEAKER_08: The the Mad About You theme is Paul Riser.

10:19
SPEAKER_08: Um so, but I I saw that little clip and I was like, I see.
10:23

10:26
SPEAKER_08: You know?
10:26
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
10:27
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
10:28
SPEAKER_08: So uh where was I going with this?
10:31
SPEAKER_11: I have no idea.
10:32
SPEAKER_08: I don't either.
10:33
SPEAKER_11: We just started talking.
10:34
SPEAKER_11: You were asking me about the Pauline.
10:36
SPEAKER_11: Paul Riser.
10:37
SPEAKER_08: Michael McDonald.
10:38
SPEAKER_08: No, no, no.
10:38
SPEAKER_08: Let's rewind the tape.
10:41
SPEAKER_08: No, there was something.
10:42
SPEAKER_08: Oh, he said that when they started talking, this is this is kind of a direction I wanted to go.
10:47
SPEAKER_08: They when they started talking, that they share a love of 60s music.
10:52
SPEAKER_08: Oh, okay.
10:53
SPEAKER_08: And I've been thinking, you know, we we had a good discussion before we got on the podcast, before we started recording, about 60s music.
11:01
SPEAKER_08: Right.
11:01
SPEAKER_08: And how um we love 60s music.
11:09
SPEAKER_11: And well, it's it it takes you back, not to uh a lot of people were like, oh, it's a simpler time.
11:15
SPEAKER_11: Not really.
11:16
SPEAKER_08: That's not in a lot of ways it wasn't.
11:18
SPEAKER_11: It really was a lot more complicated than people want to talk about.
11:23
SPEAKER_04: Right.
11:24
SPEAKER_11: But the music is very because it was it was in a it was in an experimental stage, you know, because we had just come out of the 50s and you're straight like rock and roll, you know, your three-chord change, you know, that kind of thing.
11:37
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, your Elvis, your Chuck Berry, your blah blah blah.
11:40
SPEAKER_11: He had a story about Chuck Berry in his book too.
11:42
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, I should read that.
11:43
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
11:44
SPEAKER_11: Uh, but anyway, uh, do you know Chuck Berry used used to literally get paid right before he got on stage?
11:50
SPEAKER_11: Yes.
11:51
SPEAKER_11: Or we Franklin did too.
11:52
SPEAKER_11: Yo, no, but he would literally get up on the stage, look around, gauge how many people are at the show, and then like get paid like right there before he would even start singing.
12:03
SPEAKER_08: Oh, I didn't know that.
12:04
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, it was pretty Mike he talks about it in the book.
12:07
SPEAKER_11: I was like, wow, that's just baller.
12:10
SPEAKER_11: You know what I mean?
12:11
SPEAKER_11: You're like, ah, there's 60 people here.
12:13
SPEAKER_11: I want 60 that, you know, whatever.
12:15
SPEAKER_11: Right.
12:16
SPEAKER_08: So that's the way to do it.
12:18
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
12:18
SPEAKER_08: Don't get hosed.
12:19
SPEAKER_11: Uh but anyway, 60s music.
12:20
SPEAKER_11: I mean, it was it's a very experimental, because it was still fun, but people were experimenting more because the technology was getting better and musicians and more people were writing their own stuff.
12:30
SPEAKER_11: Right.
12:30
SPEAKER_11: You know, like because you know, the Beatles started that.
12:33
SPEAKER_11: You know, people like saw the Beatles were like, oh look, they write their own songs and blah, blah, blah, and they play their own instruments.
12:38
SPEAKER_11: We can do that.
12:39
SPEAKER_08: So well, I was always, you know, when someone talks to me about actually when I talk to my students sometimes, not the youngest.
12:48
SPEAKER_08: I do sometimes.
12:49
SPEAKER_08: Sometimes you're um when we talk I'm your teacher, shut up.
12:53
SPEAKER_08: When we're talking about the Beatles, I I usually say something to the effect of the Beatles are were um the most important band in the history of rock and roll.
13:05
SPEAKER_08: And they'll they'll always go, No, they weren't.
13:08
SPEAKER_08: Yes, they were, and here's why.
13:10
SPEAKER_08: Because just what you said, the 50s, you had Little Richard, you had uh Elvis Presley, you had the 145, you know, rock and roll, just very straightforward.
13:21
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, um, right?
13:22
SPEAKER_11: It wasn't that experimental.
13:23
SPEAKER_08: When the Beatles started that way, they loved old rock and roll, they loved Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly and all those guys.
13:30
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
13:30
SPEAKER_08: When the Beatles came along and they they started just kind of breaking the rules.
13:39
SPEAKER_11: Yes.
13:40
SPEAKER_08: And when when people heard and saw what the Beatles were doing, they were like, Oh, we can break the rules.
13:48
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
13:48
SPEAKER_08: So let's break the rules in our own way and express ourselves in our own way.
13:54
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
13:54
SPEAKER_08: And so it just kind of busted open.
13:57
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, the six the sixties were famous for that.
13:59
SPEAKER_11: Absolutely.
14:00

14:34

15:08
SPEAKER_08: I never know which it's almost like an identity crisis.
15:13

15:23
SPEAKER_08: You have the stuff that I love to play, like on the guitar, which is bluesy, you know, because that's just the way I play lead guitar.
15:32

15:35
SPEAKER_08: I mean, we talk about that all the time.
15:36
SPEAKER_08: What?
15:37
SPEAKER_08: And but this is brand new information.
15:39
SPEAKER_08: And then my uh like my high school chorus today, we played a game and you know, they were giving me names of songs from like current artists that I've never heard of.
15:50
SPEAKER_08: And I would listen to them, and it's just it's just it's a it's just an onslaught of musical information.
15:58
SPEAKER_08: And it's just you know, I get in the car and it's like, what I don't even know what I want to listen to.
16:02
SPEAKER_08: I it's just I'm so overwhelmed with all of these different things.
16:06
SPEAKER_08: And my default is sixties on six because it was a time, and you know, you said it in the beginning, and and it's an oversimplification, but it was a simpler time musically.
16:22
SPEAKER_08: It was not a simpler time socially or culturally, no, or anything like that.
16:27
SPEAKER_08: But musically, and and actually simpler is not the word, it was it was a time of you know, every maybe it's the sound.
16:41
SPEAKER_08: Maybe it's just because there's not a lot of distortion.
16:45
SPEAKER_11: It's all it's warm, it's there's a you had to have musical talent in order to make a record.
16:53
SPEAKER_11: It's not like today where they can auto-tune you and program your music on a computer.
17:00
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
17:00
SPEAKER_11: You know what I'm saying?
17:02
SPEAKER_11: Anyone can be a star or music music, you know, quote unquote music star now.
17:08
SPEAKER_11: Thanks to the internet, thanks to Pro Tools, thanks to auto-tune.
17:12
SPEAKER_08: Right.
17:12
SPEAKER_11: You know, I you know, I hear stuff from new artists now, yeah, and I'm like, I don't even know if that's really them singing.
17:19
SPEAKER_08: Right.
17:20
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
17:21
SPEAKER_11: I can't believe it.
17:22
SPEAKER_11: I don't know.
17:24
SPEAKER_11: I I'm not even sure when they play live, if that's really them.
17:27
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
17:28
SPEAKER_08: Yeah, and I w when I think of the sixties, it's it's more than that though.
17:33
SPEAKER_08: It's it's it's more than talent because you know, there are people around today that are supremely talented.
17:39
SPEAKER_08: True.
17:40
SPEAKER_08: Um but I a lot of the music they're making, I don't dig.
17:44
SPEAKER_08: Um and uh the six is like some of the sixties music, the m melodically, there's a lot of melody in sixties music.
17:54
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
17:54
SPEAKER_08: Uh there's not much melody today.
17:56
SPEAKER_08: No.
17:57
SPEAKER_08: It's it's it's it's all computers and it's again that that that takes talent.
18:01
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
18:02
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
18:04
SPEAKER_08: As a writer, for sure.
18:05
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
18:06
SPEAKER_08: Um so so anyway, that's my that's my thing, is I always default to sixties music as a reboot, you know, as a because that's it's kind of I mean, obviously the 50s, but the 50s the 60s is is was an overhaul.
18:22
SPEAKER_08: You know, it was like it was like uh uh when it when it all changed.
18:26
SPEAKER_11: Um well you look at songs that came out in 1960 compared to 1969.
18:31

46:53
SPEAKER_11: Well, I'm just saying in the book.
46:54

46:55

SPEAKER_11: Her departure upset Paul, blah, blah, blah.
47:16
SPEAKER_11: Okay.
47:17
SPEAKER_11: As suggested in his songs, Paul's notion of a good woman then was someone happy just to be around him.
47:27
SPEAKER_11: That's very narcissistic.
47:30
SPEAKER_11: Jane's outlook was unusual.
47:32
SPEAKER_11: Not content to be a rock star's chick.
47:35
SPEAKER_11: She was well educated, independently minded, and wanted her own career.
47:40
SPEAKER_11: And we can work it out.
47:42
SPEAKER_11: Paul doesn't try to argue the merits of his case, but pleads with his woman to see things his way because he believes he is right.
47:51
SPEAKER_11: It was typical of Paul that he didn't retreat sobbing to his room, but he merged with the positive slogan, We Can Work It Out.
48:00
SPEAKER_11: The slightly downbeat middle-8, which you're listening to right now, with its intimations of mortality, were was added by John.
48:10
SPEAKER_11: You've got Paul writing, We can work it out, said John.
48:12
SPEAKER_11: Real optimistic and me impatient with life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend.
48:20
SPEAKER_11: The song was written at Paul's father's house in Heswell, Cheshire.
48:25
SPEAKER_11: The harmonium wash was added in the studio as an afterthought, and George Harrison suggested changing the middle eight to Waltz Time.
48:35
SPEAKER_11: That's interesting.
48:36
SPEAKER_11: Huh.
48:37
SPEAKER_11: So that's uh we can work it out.
