- 1:51SPEAKER_04: Yeah, but I think it's a great cause.
- 1:53SPEAKER_04: And also another great cause, um, we were gonna mention this ear earlier or later, but uh let's do it now.

- 2:18SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 2:19SPEAKER_04: Um and it's the work that they do up there is amazing.
- 2:23SPEAKER_04: Yes, um not only for patients, but for patients' families.
- 2:27SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 2:28SPEAKER_04: Uh making um, you know, end-of-life care um the best, most possible uh the most uh what what is that?
- 2:37SPEAKER_04: I can't even talk tonight.
- 2:38SPEAKER_04: The best that it can be, I guess.
- 2:41SPEAKER_07: In this you know, in light of the circumstances.
- 2:44SPEAKER_07: Right.
- 2:44SPEAKER_07: Right, right.
- 2:46SPEAKER_04: Uh so they do great work.
- 2:47SPEAKER_04: So we're happy to be raising funds for the Urusta Council Comfort.
- 2:50SPEAKER_04: And that again is January 7th at the Caribou Performing Arts Center.
- 2:53SPEAKER_04: Got some new tunes.
- 2:54SPEAKER_07: Yep.
- 2:55SPEAKER_04: Um so bring friends, it should be fun.
- 2:57SPEAKER_07: Bring all your friends.
- 2:58SPEAKER_04: It's all for a good cause.
- 2:59SPEAKER_07: And if you don't have friends, I mean bring your enemies.
- 3:02SPEAKER_07: Bring bring anybody.
- 3:03SPEAKER_04: You'll be friends by the end.
- 3:04SPEAKER_07: Just get a van and pick up people, put on put on the side of the van, free candy.
- 3:08SPEAKER_07: Pick them up.
- 3:10SPEAKER_07: Bring them to the show.
- 3:12SPEAKER_07: It's not suspicious at all.
- 3:14SPEAKER_07: Oh, instead of free candy, put free music.
- 3:17SPEAKER_07: Free music.
- 3:17SPEAKER_07: There you go.
- 3:18SPEAKER_07: Yeah, free music.
- 3:19SPEAKER_07: Actually, I think free candy probably would get them there better.
- 3:21SPEAKER_07: Probably.
- 3:21SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
- 3:22SPEAKER_07: Free candy and music.
- 3:23SPEAKER_07: Free candy and music.
- 3:25SPEAKER_07: Candy music.
- 3:26SPEAKER_07: Music candy.
- 3:27SPEAKER_07: Ear candy.
- 3:28SPEAKER_07: Boom.
- 3:28SPEAKER_07: Look at it.
- 3:28SPEAKER_04: Free ear candy.
- 3:29SPEAKER_07: Free ear candy.
- 3:33SPEAKER_04: That's a be gross a bit.
- 3:35SPEAKER_04: Just a bit.
- 3:37SPEAKER_04: Okay, so um I wanna we we should talk about a couple of um icons um that have just passed.
- 3:45SPEAKER_04: Not to not to bring the podcast down, but this is what we do.
- 3:48SPEAKER_04: I think hey, we're really happy.
- 3:51SPEAKER_04: Hey, here's some stuff that sucks.
- 3:53SPEAKER_04: Then we'll be happy again.
- 3:55SPEAKER_04: Well, I mean, it's it's you know, it's life, right?
- 3:58SPEAKER_04: And uh what I find is the uh obviously the older we get, the the older the people that we looked up to and were exposed to as kids get as well.
- 4:08SPEAKER_04: I know, right?
- 4:09SPEAKER_04: And we forget that sometimes.
- 4:10SPEAKER_07: I think I yeah, I think so, because it was uh it was surprising.
- 4:14SPEAKER_04: It was surprising.
- 4:17SPEAKER_04: Well, not only that, I mean yeah, because uh Kirsty Alley from Cheers and um look who's talking in the movie.
- 4:25SPEAKER_07: I literally only know her from I don't know if I ever saw her much in anything else other than Cheers.
- 4:30SPEAKER_04: Well she's been in a lot, but yeah, she Cheers is where you know she she yeah.
- 4:35SPEAKER_04: Um but she was 71.
- 4:38SPEAKER_04: 71, yeah.
- 4:39SPEAKER_04: Which that in and of itself blows my mind.
- 4:42SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 4:43SPEAKER_04: Um I don't know why, because it makes sense.
- 4:46SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 4:47SPEAKER_04: You know, I'll be 50 next year, so she's like 22 years older than I.
- 4:53SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it makes sense.
- 4:53SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it makes sense.
- 4:54SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 4:55SPEAKER_04: Um so but she she had apparently had battled cancer for a short while.
- 5:00SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 5:01SPEAKER_04: Uh which is which is rough.
- 5:02SPEAKER_07: It must have been a pretty aggressive form of the case.
- 5:05SPEAKER_07: I had to be because it went pretty quick.
- 5:06SPEAKER_07: Or she was or she had it and she didn't know it until like already.
- 5:10SPEAKER_07: It was already too late.
- 5:11SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 5:12SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 5:13SPEAKER_04: So that's that's a bummer.
- 5:15SPEAKER_04: Um and I find it interesting how th when they do the when they do the memoriams, their memorials or whatever, like on the the mainstream media, they have to point out that uh many disagreed with her politics.
- 5:36SPEAKER_04: So what?
- 5:37SPEAKER_04: So who cares?
- 5:38SPEAKER_04: Why do you have to point that out?
- 5:39SPEAKER_04: Nobody cares.
- 5:40SPEAKER_04: Just talk about her career.
- 5:41SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that's all you needed to do.
- 5:43SPEAKER_04: You know, talk about the impact that she had um, you know, on television.
- 5:48SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
- 5:48SPEAKER_04: Uh or movies or whatever.
- 5:50SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 5:50SPEAKER_04: Why why even mention that?
- 5:51SPEAKER_07: That's just the way we are.
- 5:53SPEAKER_04: And it just rubs me the wrong way.
- 5:55SPEAKER_04: Anyway, another one that we lost, who I was listening to a podcast on Sirius XM.
- 6:01SPEAKER_04: Uh I listened to um the Volume Channel, which is I guess it's Faction Talk now or something like that.
- 6:09SPEAKER_04: But there's um Nick Carter does a thing called feedback with a with a um with another journalist, Alan Light.
- 6:17SPEAKER_04: And they were talking about Chrissy McVee of Fleetwood Mac.
- 6:20SPEAKER_04: We just lost Christy McVee.
- 6:22SPEAKER_04: And the she was the unsung hero of that band.
- 6:30SPEAKER_04: Uh, because she was the you know, of course, you th you know you know the history of Fleetwood Mac.
- 6:34SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 6:34SPEAKER_04: I mean, there was a lot of turmoil in that band.
- 6:36SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 6:36SPEAKER_04: Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, of course, John McVeigh and Christy McVee were married.
- 6:41SPEAKER_04: Uh, and McFleetwood, I think, I don't know if he did them all.
- 6:45SPEAKER_07: I'm pretty sure he did at some point.
- 6:47SPEAKER_07: I don't know.
- 6:48SPEAKER_07: Either intentionally or unintentionally.
- 6:51SPEAKER_04: Not sure.
- 6:52SPEAKER_04: But there was so much drama, and she was always the unifier.
- 6:56SPEAKER_04: You know, she would always be the m voice of reason in that band.
- 7:01SPEAKER_04: And uh most of the hit songs, believe it or not, that they had.
- 7:07SPEAKER_04: I'm not sure why that fell.
- 7:09SPEAKER_04: Uh most of the hit songs that they had.
- 7:12SPEAKER_04: Oh, screen right.
- 7:13SPEAKER_04: Oh, that's probably right.
- 7:15SPEAKER_04: Were written by Christy McVee.
- 7:17SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 7:17SPEAKER_04: Don't stop thinking about tomorrow.
- 7:19SPEAKER_04: That was Chrissy McVee.
- 7:21SPEAKER_04: Um well hold on.
- 7:24SPEAKER_04: While I'm right here.
- 7:25SPEAKER_04: Um because let's see.
- 7:33SPEAKER_04: I shouldn't say most of the songs.
- 7:39SPEAKER_07: I would think, right?
- 7:40SPEAKER_07: A good number or um more than people would think.
- 7:44SPEAKER_04: Yes, more than you would think.
- 7:46SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 7:46SPEAKER_04: Uh this one.
- 7:52SPEAKER_04: Is that in one one one ear?
- 7:54SPEAKER_07: That's all I'm hearing.
- 7:55SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 8:01SPEAKER_11: What is going on there?
- 8:03SPEAKER_11: Although it doesn't matter, you and we got letting the time.
- 8:16SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 8:38SPEAKER_12: Now it's not plugged in for you make loving fun.
- 8:56SPEAKER_04: I believe that's nobody noticed.
- 9:00SPEAKER_04: That's Christy McVeigh as well.
- 9:03SPEAKER_04: Um and this is the live version, just you make love and fun.
- 9:17SPEAKER_04: That's a big hit.
- 9:18SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 9:19SPEAKER_04: And then this one.
- 9:21SPEAKER_04: This is um, of course, this is from the uh 1997 concert, The Dance.
- 9:26SPEAKER_04: So this isn't what the song really sounds like, but this is Say You Love Me.
- 9:35SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah.
- 9:36SPEAKER_04: One of the one of the highest charting ones.
- 9:38SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 9:38SPEAKER_04: Say That You Love Me.
- 9:39SPEAKER_04: She, you know, she was she was uh responsible for a lot of those.
- 9:46SPEAKER_07: Those are one of my favorite ones.
- 9:47SPEAKER_04: I want to be with you everywhere.
- 9:48SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I believe that's Chrissy McVee.
- 9:50SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 9:58SPEAKER_04: So, you know, she never did a lot of interviews, she always lets Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks take care, or Mickeywood take care of that.
- 10:05SPEAKER_09: Yeah, you know.
- 10:09SPEAKER_04: But she apparently uh was dealing with a an illness for a while that uh actually not for a while, because Stevie Nicks just found out that she was sick.
- 10:19SPEAKER_04: So I think that one went quick too.
- 10:21SPEAKER_04: Um I feel like I'm bringing the podcast down, but I I just wanted to mention uh that you know we lost them.
- 10:27SPEAKER_04: So it's uh just kind of a bummer.
- 10:29SPEAKER_04: Very much, very much so, very much so.
- 10:31SPEAKER_04: And what else is a bummer?
- 10:34SPEAKER_04: The um we were talking about ticket prices.
- 10:37SPEAKER_04: Uh yeah, I was uh um perusing something something about I remember hear hearing something about a what is it,$40,000 Taylor Swift ticket that we talked about on last last week's podcast.
- 10:49SPEAKER_07: Oh, we had a lot of those, yeah.
- 10:51SPEAKER_04: And and I don't know how they get away with it.
- 10:54SPEAKER_04: Uh and you came in with with something else.
- 10:57SPEAKER_07: Uh yeah.
- 10:58SPEAKER_07: Well, as soon as I find it.
- 10:59SPEAKER_04: Was it it was uh No, that's not it.
- 11:02SPEAKER_07: That's so stupid.
- 11:05SPEAKER_07: There we are.
- 11:06SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
- 11:08SPEAKER_07: Uh it was this girl.
- 11:11SPEAKER_07: Um she calls herself an influencer.
- 11:15SPEAKER_04: You know, I can do that too.
- 11:17SPEAKER_07: And uh and apparently she has an OnlyFans account.
- 11:20SPEAKER_04: Of course, you have to be have an OnlyFans account to be an influencer.
- 11:22SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 11:23SPEAKER_04: You know, hold on.
- 11:24SPEAKER_04: So before you go any further, I I want to say that because you know, I'm I'm on Instagram.
- 11:32SPEAKER_04: I'm not on TikTok or anything like that, but I do have an Instagram account.
- 11:36SPEAKER_04: And they show those reels, which can be, you know, just suck the d the time right out of you.
- 11:44SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah, yeah.
- 11:45SPEAKER_04: And um so you'll you'll come across a uh an account and you go to the number of probably really rich people now, but really morally corrupt people that have an Onivan OnlyFans account.
- 12:02SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah.
- 12:03SPEAKER_04: The number of people that are actually like porn stars now is ridiculous.
- 12:08SPEAKER_07: Oh, I know.
- 12:08SPEAKER_04: Anybody in anyone can do it now.
- 12:10SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 12:10SPEAKER_04: Anybody can do it.
- 12:11SPEAKER_04: And I don't know if that's just that just means bad things for our culture.
- 12:16SPEAKER_07: Well, we're not getting any better.
- 12:18SPEAKER_07: So we're not.
- 12:21SPEAKER_07: It's all down.
- 12:22SPEAKER_07: I mean, I hate to say it, but it's all downhill from here.
- 12:25SPEAKER_07: It's not gonna get better.
- 12:26SPEAKER_07: Sorry.
- 12:28SPEAKER_04: Maybe we should start starting OnlyFans account, Doug.
- 12:31SPEAKER_07: I don't think so.
- 12:32SPEAKER_04: No, I don't either.
- 12:33SPEAKER_07: How many do are there any dudes on OnlyFans?
- 12:35SPEAKER_04: I've never I not the I've never been on OnlyFans.
- 12:38SPEAKER_04: I just go to these accounts on Instagram, and you'll know they'll say, all the good stuff's right here, and there's a link.
- 12:44SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah.
- 12:44SPEAKER_04: Oh, it's always to they all have an OnlyFans account.
- 12:47SPEAKER_07: Oh, come on, please.
- 12:50SPEAKER_07: But anyway, she's an influencer, whatever that is, and an OnlyFans star.
- 12:56SPEAKER_07: Uh she says she had no choice but to spend$10,000 on two Harry Styles concert tickets.
- 13:02SPEAKER_04: I can give you another chick.
- 13:03SPEAKER_07: Because she wanted to sit close to the stage.
- 13:09SPEAKER_04: See.
- 13:10SPEAKER_04: I had no choice.
- 13:11SPEAKER_07: Because apparently she had already bought tickets through uh Stubhub.
- 13:15SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 13:16SPEAKER_07: Two tickets, eight hundred and ninety dollars each.
- 13:20SPEAKER_03: See, that's okay.
- 13:21SPEAKER_07: But she said she never got 'em.
- 13:23SPEAKER_07: So then she went through someplace else and it was ten grand.
- 13:28SPEAKER_07: I I think it was what'd she say?
- 13:31SPEAKER_07: Uh forty two hundred dollars each.
- 13:35SPEAKER_04: Okay, so obviously she's got money, probably because of her OnlyFans account.
- 13:39SPEAKER_07: I'm assuming so, yeah.
- 13:40SPEAKER_04: Um, but she's also just really dumb.
- 13:44SPEAKER_07: Well, I not to sound stupid, but I really don't know who Harry Stiles is that much.
- 13:50SPEAKER_07: I think he was in Only One Direction or something.
- 13:52SPEAKER_04: He was in One Direction, he's got a solo.
- 13:54SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I know he's got a career.
- 13:56SPEAKER_04: He's also an actor now.
- 13:56SPEAKER_07: Oh, is he?
- 13:57SPEAKER_07: Okay.
- 13:57SPEAKER_07: Oh yeah.
- 13:58SPEAKER_07: Whatever.
- 13:58SPEAKER_07: Um, you know, I'm you know, that's how much I don't and uh because it's popular culture, and I find that if everybody likes it, I'm automatically against it and I don't even know what it is.
- 14:10SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 14:10SPEAKER_04: I get it.
- 14:11SPEAKER_04: I know exactly what you mean.
- 14:12SPEAKER_07: You know what I mean?
- 14:13SPEAKER_07: Yep.
- 14:13SPEAKER_07: So I mean, you know, uh if it's popular, like when Taylor Swift's new album came out, I was like, man, that's probably stupid.
- 14:19SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 14:21SPEAKER_07: I'm not I'm not even gonna bother.
- 14:23SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
- 14:23SPEAKER_07: I'm not even gonna bother.
- 14:24SPEAKER_07: I haven't either.
- 14:25SPEAKER_07: Because everybody wants, everybody's talking about it, so I'm automatically gets and that maybe not be the best way to be.
- 14:31SPEAKER_04: Well, I mean, that's that's old fogey.
- 14:33SPEAKER_07: But yeah, I'm about to say, but that's my that's my age showing.
- 14:37SPEAKER_07: Yeah, I'm with you.
- 14:37SPEAKER_07: So I really don't care.
- 14:39SPEAKER_07: And she and you know, and she went on, you know, her, you know, Instagram or whatever page, and she was talking about it, you know.
- 14:47SPEAKER_07: And she's like, what choice did I have?
- 14:48SPEAKER_04: Well, I was like, Well I can I can give you like five, six, seven other choices.
- 14:53SPEAKER_07: Well, number one, why were you paying eight hundred and ninety dollars for a one ticket?
- 14:58SPEAKER_04: In the first place.
- 14:59SPEAKER_07: In the first place.
- 15:00SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 15:00SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 15:02SPEAKER_07: And then I don't know what the s I don't know what the seats were.
- 15:04SPEAKER_04: Why are they charging that much?
- 15:06SPEAKER_07: I mean, well, that's the other thing.
- 15:08SPEAKER_07: I don't understand what happened to being able to go to a show.
- 15:16SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 15:17SPEAKER_07: Enjoy some music and you know, not have to, you know, take out a freaking second mortgage on your home.
- 15:24SPEAKER_04: Well, even even at the waterfront l this past year, to go see Aerosmith in concert was like four hundred dollars.
- 15:32SPEAKER_04: Why?
- 15:32SPEAKER_04: Exactly.
- 15:34SPEAKER_07: I don't understand it.
- 15:35SPEAKER_07: Exactly I don't understand why it has to be that expensive.
- 15:38unknown: Yeah.
- 15:39SPEAKER_07: What are we actually paying for?
- 15:41SPEAKER_04: You're paying for the same concert that you got the year before for 70 bucks.
- 15:48SPEAKER_07: I don't get it, man.
- 15:49SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 15:49SPEAKER_04: I it's it's inflation.
- 15:52SPEAKER_07: Well, I understand that.
- 15:53SPEAKER_07: I mean, I I get that, you know, people gotta pay, you know, everything's getting more expensive.
- 15:58SPEAKER_07: I mean, it's gonna be more expensive to travel someplace.
- 16:01SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 16:02SPEAKER_07: Higher security because nobody wants to work.
- 16:04SPEAKER_07: Well, I understand it.
- 16:06SPEAKER_07: But when you're paying forty two hundred dollars to see an individual who's no older than my, you know, my underwear.
- 16:15SPEAKER_04: You are stupid.
- 16:17SPEAKER_04: I'm sorry.
- 16:17SPEAKER_07: I'm your your brain function is that equivalent is the equivalent of a I don't know.

- 19:02SPEAKER_04: I did I'm just gonna say it differently.
- 19:21SPEAKER_07: Well, that's because I don't I I like I said, I purposely go out of my way to avoid anything that's popular.
- 19:28SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 19:28SPEAKER_04: And this is hugely popular.
- 19:30SPEAKER_04: You don't know what doesn't sound familiar at all to me.
- 19:35SPEAKER_04: Well, you're not missing much.
- 19:36SPEAKER_04: I mean, it was it was ear candy for the Well, I mean, he's got a good voice.

- 19:42SPEAKER_04: I mean, the boy can sing, but and and I'm uh and I was I was relatively right.
- 19:45SPEAKER_04: It was three years ago that was that came out, and it was it was huge.
- 19:49SPEAKER_04: It was huge.
- 19:50SPEAKER_04: All right.
- 19:50SPEAKER_04: But um so yeah, I thought you I thought you would know that song.
- 19:55SPEAKER_04: Anyway.
- 19:55SPEAKER_04: No, I'm sorry.
- 19:56SPEAKER_04: We should change the name of the podcast to Two Old Fogies.
- 19:59SPEAKER_07: Well, we are the Statler and Wolverine.
- 20:01SPEAKER_07: We are.
- 20:02SPEAKER_06: I mean, I just I I I I don't know, man.
- 20:05SPEAKER_07: I I don't I don't mean to be that way because I I don't I don't want to diss on somebody's right what they like.
- 20:12SPEAKER_04: I know exactly what you mean.
- 20:13SPEAKER_07: I mean I get I get you know if you like it fine, but I'm not gonna don't make me like it.
- 20:17SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 20:18SPEAKER_07: Because I'm not.
- 20:19SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 20:19SPEAKER_07: You know, I'm still listening to Led Zeppelin albums.
- 20:22SPEAKER_04: I find I find that all the time all the time because I uh part of my job is teaching high school, right?
- 20:28SPEAKER_04: Teaching high school chorus.
- 20:29SPEAKER_04: And my chorus students will say, Can we do this song?
- 20:33SPEAKER_04: And I'm like, Oh, I've never heard that.
- 20:35SPEAKER_04: What?
- 20:35SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I know you've never heard that song.
- 20:38SPEAKER_04: No, I don't listen to that that music.
- 20:41SPEAKER_07: I just you know, I you know, if you like it, that's great, that's awesome.
- 20:45SPEAKER_07: But I I don't, I don't, I don't if like I said, if if it's popular and everybody's talking about it, I'm gonna automatically think it's stupid.
- 20:53SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
- 20:53SPEAKER_07: That's just how I'm wired.
- 20:55SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
- 20:56SPEAKER_07: I get it.
- 20:56SPEAKER_07: Could be wrong, I don't know.
- 20:58SPEAKER_07: I don't care.
- 21:00SPEAKER_07: I don't care.
- 21:01SPEAKER_07: That's if that's the popular opinion, then Doug is stupid, then yeah.
- 21:05SPEAKER_07: Fine.
- 21:05SPEAKER_07: Whatever.
- 21:06SPEAKER_07: I don't care.
- 21:06SPEAKER_07: I don't care.

- 21:30SPEAKER_07: Um Well, I almost think we should be paying that.
- 21:33SPEAKER_07: That's what I mean.
- 21:34SPEAKER_07: That's what I meant.
- 21:35SPEAKER_07: Not uh they're not gonna pay us.
- 21:41SPEAKER_04: Maybe we shouldn't be saying where we're getting it from in that way.
- 21:44SPEAKER_04: We'll just say we're smart, we know.
- 21:46SPEAKER_07: We'll be like it's an undisclosed website.
- 21:50SPEAKER_07: Well, no, see, I feel the need to PerryStyles.com.
- 21:54SPEAKER_04: I feel the need to say where we're getting it because sometimes I read directly from it.
- 21:58SPEAKER_04: Oh, sure.
- 22:00SPEAKER_04: Journalists have written some something.
- 22:01SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you want to give them credit.
- 22:02SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 22:02SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 22:03SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 22:03SPEAKER_04: Um so that's that's one of the reasons that I say where we where we get it from.
- 22:07SPEAKER_04: But this was a cool list.
- 22:08SPEAKER_04: We we like doing their lists.
- 22:10SPEAKER_07: We do like well, not doing them, but you know what I mean.
- 22:13SPEAKER_04: Um and some of these songs I have not heard, so I'm kind of interested in this list.
- 22:18SPEAKER_04: Is this the we're we're near the end of 2022.
- 22:22SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 22:22SPEAKER_04: Right?
- 22:22SPEAKER_04: That's cool.
- 22:23SPEAKER_04: So a good time to talk about the top 30 rock songs of 2022.
- 22:28SPEAKER_04: All right.
- 22:28SPEAKER_04: Now, the the radio stations up here don't really play new rock.
- 22:36unknown: No.
- 22:37SPEAKER_04: New rock or even even new rock from veteran artists.
- 22:40SPEAKER_04: They don't do that anymore.
- 22:41SPEAKER_04: And of course, not many people listen to the radio anymore.
- 22:44SPEAKER_04: They're mostly listening to What's this radio you speak of?
- 22:48SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 22:48SPEAKER_04: But they are they're mostly listening to streaming uh networks.
- 22:51SPEAKER_04: Um so let's let's just go through this list.
- 22:55SPEAKER_04: The top 30 albums according to uh classicrock.com albums or songs?
- 22:59SPEAKER_04: Songs, I'm sorry, according to ultimate classicrock.com of uh of of 2022.
- 23:04SPEAKER_04: And the number 30, there is a tie.
- 23:06SPEAKER_04: There's always a tie.
- 23:07SPEAKER_04: I didn't even know that Mick Jagger had a new song out.
- 23:11SPEAKER_04: I didn't know that either.
- 23:12SPEAKER_04: Um I haven't talked to him in a while, so and here's the thing I don't really want to play too many of the the tracks from number 30 to number 11.
- 23:21SPEAKER_04: I thought we would concentrate on from number 10 to number one.
- 23:24SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that's fine with that.
- 23:25SPEAKER_07: Uh I really don't care.
- 23:26SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 23:27SPEAKER_04: But um something makes me want to oh, see, there's see the first two that are tied for 30.
- 23:33SPEAKER_04: I want to hear what they sound like.
- 23:35SPEAKER_04: So Well, you said one was Mick Jagger.
- 23:36SPEAKER_04: Yeah, Mick Jagger.
- 23:37SPEAKER_04: I'm just curious as to what this is It's a Strange Game, uh, what this sounds like because I've I've not heard it.
- 23:44SPEAKER_04: And of course, there's probably a movie that goes with it.
- 23:48SPEAKER_07: Is this the song?
- 23:49SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
- 23:50SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I think it is actually.
- 23:52SPEAKER_01: Surrounded by losers, misfits and boozers hanging by your fingernakes.
- 24:01SPEAKER_01: You made one mistake, got burned at mistake.
- 24:05SPEAKER_01: You foolish, you foolish, you fake.
- 24:10SPEAKER_01: There's a hope the slippery slope.
- 24:15SPEAKER_01: Somewhere I go.
- 24:16SPEAKER_01: Slow shape to get back, get back in, and burn up the shape, and dance with a beat ball.
- 24:26SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 24:27SPEAKER_01: I know why you're in slow house.
- 24:29SPEAKER_04: Okay, so it's from um uh an Apple TV series.
- 24:33SPEAKER_04: Oh called Slow Horses.
- 24:36SPEAKER_04: So I thought he had an album out.
- 24:38SPEAKER_04: So it's not okay.
- 24:40SPEAKER_04: It's not an album.
- 24:40SPEAKER_04: So it's a song.
- 24:41SPEAKER_04: It's a song.
- 24:41SPEAKER_07: Well, you said they were songs, the top 30 songs.
- 24:44SPEAKER_04: Yeah, but I thought it would uh it would be associated with an album.
- 24:47SPEAKER_04: Okay, I got you.
- 24:47SPEAKER_04: But I guess not.
- 24:48SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 24:48SPEAKER_04: Uh this next one though, which is it's tie, it's tie for number 30, I do want to hear, unless we've already played it.
- 24:54SPEAKER_04: Did we play uh something from the new cult album?
- 24:57SPEAKER_07: Yeah, we did.
- 24:58SPEAKER_04: We did?
- 24:58SPEAKER_07: Yeah, because we were taught we were saying how how how much it sounded like old cult.
- 25:03SPEAKER_07: Give me mercy.
- 25:04SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
- 25:04SPEAKER_04: Okay, so I won't I won't play that.
- 25:05SPEAKER_04: But anyway, that's tied with McJagger for number 30.
- 25:09SPEAKER_04: Um number 29 is Slash, once again featuring Miles Kennedy and the conspirators, call off the dogs.
- 25:17SPEAKER_04: I I want to hear it, just a piece of it.

- 25:20SPEAKER_04: Just because I haven't heard it.
- 25:21SPEAKER_04: So and I know I've seen the vinyl.
- 25:26SPEAKER_04: Um I think there's something wrong with my own.
- 26:00SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I don't think we're we're giving it credit.
- 26:02SPEAKER_04: I think that you're gonna be able to hear like when we hear it in one ear.
- 26:08SPEAKER_04: I think you're gonna be able to hear it in two ears when you hear the podcast.
- 26:12SPEAKER_07: Well, that's fine.
- 26:13SPEAKER_04: I think.
- 26:15SPEAKER_07: We won't know.
- 26:16SPEAKER_07: Because you know, we don't edit here.
- 26:18SPEAKER_04: No.
- 26:20SPEAKER_07: Production?
- 26:21SPEAKER_06: No.

- 27:00SPEAKER_04: And if you've ever heard anything from the Dirty Knobs, I mean, Mike Campbell, when he sings, he sounds like Tom Petty.

- 30:20SPEAKER_07: Is that about uh son of Sam?
- 30:22SPEAKER_04: Um let me read.
- 30:23SPEAKER_04: Tragedy From Hammer Summer of Love is an indication.
- 30:26SPEAKER_04: The lead single I live to fast was a sharp-tongue rebuke of rose-tinted nostalgia and a cogent reminder that the good old days weren't always as glamorous and decadent as they're cracked up to be.
- 30:36SPEAKER_04: More importantly, it was a riotous punk and roll bonanza full of slashing riffs and solos, and Monroe's ageless, bloodthirsty snarl.
- 30:44unknown: Okay.
- 30:46SPEAKER_04: I don't know what was about son of Sam.
- 30:48SPEAKER_04: Uh here's one I do want to hear.

- 31:26SPEAKER_07: What are you gonna, you know.
- 31:27SPEAKER_07: Right.
- 31:27SPEAKER_07: What do you expect?
- 31:39SPEAKER_04: I like pretty much anything he does anyway.
- 31:41SPEAKER_07: Oh yeah.
- 31:42SPEAKER_07: I like it that he doesn't, you know, foul it with mute, you know, singing.
- 31:46SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 31:46SPEAKER_04: He did that once or twice.
- 31:48SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and it wasn't it wasn't great.
- 31:50SPEAKER_04: It was not it was okay, but it wasn't great.
- 31:52SPEAKER_07: Yeah, I'd I'd rather just listen to him play guitar.
- 31:55SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 31:55SPEAKER_04: You know.
- 31:56SPEAKER_04: Um I kind of want to hear this one.

- 32:15SPEAKER_04: Um, so this is Cage uh it's a COVID-inspired storyline, I guess.
- 32:22SPEAKER_04: I just want to hear a piece of it.
- 32:25SPEAKER_10: Sounds like Jesse's gonna say the same living in isolation, walking through desolation alley, holding up our ambitions, flooded out all the engines, I've been punching through the walls, I've been living on the edge, I've been fighting with my demons, don't they become my friends?
- 32:49SPEAKER_10: Finally the end.
- 33:02SPEAKER_04: You know, I gotta give him credit.
- 33:03SPEAKER_04: You know, I gotta give all these guys credit that are still doing it.
- 33:06SPEAKER_07: Yeah.

- 37:09SPEAKER_07: Well, we're number ten, you said we're number ten.
- 37:11SPEAKER_07: Weren't we gonna listen to the top ten?
- 37:12SPEAKER_04: Yeah.

- 37:25SPEAKER_03: Okay, they put uh they put uh some naughty language in their video.
- 37:29SPEAKER_07: Well, that's just not cool, man.
- 37:31SPEAKER_07: Well, it is called Wild Child.
- 37:33SPEAKER_07: Apparently they're wild.
- 37:36SPEAKER_04: Uh I'm just kinda waiting for the music to start so that we can uh sample it, and if it doesn't start soon, I'm just gonna move on.
- 37:44SPEAKER_04: Uh looks like a funny video uh some sort.
- 37:49SPEAKER_04: But there's really no reason to I guess nobody plays videos anymore, so you can you can do whatever you want.
- 37:56SPEAKER_07: Uh apparently uh I would like to hear the music at some point.
- 37:59SPEAKER_04: I would too.
- 38:00SPEAKER_04: We're already a minute into it and they haven't started the music yet.
- 38:03SPEAKER_04: Let's see.
- 38:06SPEAKER_07: Okay, I hear I hear a bass drum.
- 38:09SPEAKER_07: There we go.
- 38:20SPEAKER_12: I'm just a stranger with a twisted smile and a wandering eye.
- 38:29SPEAKER_12: The hawk is in danger.
- 38:31SPEAKER_04: I do dig the black keys.
- 38:32SPEAKER_04: I like them, yeah.
- 38:33SPEAKER_12: Come close, now let me tell you a lie.
- 38:42SPEAKER_04: I mean, you can do you can do a lot with it.
- 38:43SPEAKER_07: Well, child, you got me running through the turnstiles.
- 38:47SPEAKER_04: Um you uh you can do a lot with just uh drums and guitar.
- 38:51SPEAKER_07: I know, right?
- 38:52SPEAKER_07: We prove it all the tack.
- 38:54SPEAKER_04: Uh number nine, Metallica's Lux Eterna.
- 38:56SPEAKER_04: Okay, which is a good one.
- 38:57SPEAKER_04: Which very good just came out.
- 38:59SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 38:59SPEAKER_04: And that's already a number nine in the top song, so that's good.
- 39:03SPEAKER_04: Uh Def Leopard's Take What You Want.
- 39:05SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 39:05SPEAKER_04: Uh is number eight.
- 39:07SPEAKER_04: Uh I'm curious as to what they said.
- 39:09SPEAKER_04: Def Leopard has expanded their range over the past three decades, incredibly incorporating pop country and other influences into their music with a success rate.
- 39:15SPEAKER_04: None of their 80s hard rock peers can match.
- 39:18SPEAKER_04: Very true.
- 39:19SPEAKER_04: But now and then it's still still great to see them reach back and throw a fastball down the middle.
- 39:24SPEAKER_04: For Diamond Star Halo's storming storming opening track, Take What You Want, they paired a mighty and memorable riff with a gorgeous stacked vocal arrangement straight from the hysteria playbook.
- 39:34SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 39:34SPEAKER_03: I guess so.
- 39:36SPEAKER_04: Uh number seven, Degradation Blues from Ozzie Osborne.
- 39:40SPEAKER_04: This is from that patient number nine, which which I have.
- 39:44SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 39:44SPEAKER_04: Uh, and but this has Tony Iomie as a guest on it.
- 39:47SPEAKER_04: So this is basically Black Sabbath without uh Bill Ward and uh Ezer.
- 39:55SPEAKER_04: I don't know if that's Chad Smith on the drums or if it's Taylor Hawk.
- 40:01SPEAKER_07: I'd almost guarantee that's Taylor.
- 40:23SPEAKER_04: Once again, give credit to these old guys.
- 40:26SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 40:26SPEAKER_04: And I mean, of course, you can manipulate a lot of things in the studio, but I think he can still sing still sing like that.
- 40:32SPEAKER_07: I think so.
- 40:33SPEAKER_07: Yeah, I mean to a certain extent.
- 40:36SPEAKER_04: He probably wouldn't be able to last on stage.
- 40:39SPEAKER_07: No, that's the thing, you know.
- 40:40SPEAKER_07: Can you reproduce it on live?
- 40:42SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 40:42SPEAKER_04: You know.
- 40:43SPEAKER_04: Uh number six is Spoon.
- 40:46SPEAKER_04: Song called Wild.
- 40:47SPEAKER_04: I don't know if you want to play that.
- 40:49SPEAKER_07: I have never heard of this band.

- 41:15SPEAKER_04: Almost sounds like nine inch nails.
- 41:20SPEAKER_04: No, it doesn't.
- 41:24SPEAKER_07: Very much a departure.
- 41:26SPEAKER_08: I want to remind it after.
- 41:31SPEAKER_08: Right.
- 41:33SPEAKER_08: Well, very treasure.
- 41:36SPEAKER_08: I've got all fine modern event.
- 41:41SPEAKER_08: But must have been such a disappear.
- 41:53SPEAKER_04: I mean, not bad.
- 41:54SPEAKER_04: I mean it's it's not great, but it's not bad.
- 41:56SPEAKER_04: It's not something that I would buy, but still.
- 41:59SPEAKER_04: Um number five is a band called The Smile with a song called The Smoke, which I also have never heard of.
- 42:07SPEAKER_04: Nope, me neither.

- 42:16SPEAKER_04: Are we?

- 1:00:39SPEAKER_07: Um was it before that?
- 1:00:44SPEAKER_04: Yes.

- 1:00:48SPEAKER_04: Yes, it was before that.
- 1:00:50SPEAKER_07: It was.
- 1:00:51SPEAKER_04: It was before that.
- 1:00:52SPEAKER_07: What were we talking about?
- 1:00:55SPEAKER_04: Obviously, you weren't very invested in the conversation.
- 1:00:58SPEAKER_07: Well, that was a that was hours ago.
- 1:01:02SPEAKER_07: We've talked about so much since then.
- 1:01:07SPEAKER_07: I was clean shaven when I came in here.
- 1:01:10SPEAKER_07: So I don't know.
- 1:01:11SPEAKER_07: Um height of popularity.
- 1:01:18SPEAKER_04: Height of popularity.
- 1:01:20SPEAKER_04: I gotta say, I gotta say 70s.
- 1:01:22SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 1:01:22SPEAKER_04: Oh, it's Fleetwood Mac.
- 1:01:24SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 1:01:25SPEAKER_04: Yeah, okay.
- 1:01:26SPEAKER_04: Now I remember.
- 1:01:27SPEAKER_04: Now I remember.
- 1:01:28SPEAKER_04: It's all coming back.
- 1:01:29SPEAKER_04: Like interestingly enough, so I I promise this was not planned.
- 1:01:32SPEAKER_04: Interestingly enough, it's a Fleetwood Mac album without Christy McVee.
- 1:01:37SPEAKER_07: Okay, that's weird.
- 1:01:38SPEAKER_04: It is weird.
- 1:01:40SPEAKER_07: Like I didn't, okay, I this may show my ignorance.
- 1:01:43SPEAKER_04: You didn't know this existed?
- 1:01:45SPEAKER_07: No, I didn't know there was a Fleetwood Mac album without her.
- 1:01:48SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 1:01:49SPEAKER_07: Really?
- 1:01:49SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 1:01:49SPEAKER_04: Just her?
- 1:01:50SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 1:01:51SPEAKER_04: Um yeah, she she took uh uh break from the band.
- 1:01:55SPEAKER_04: Alright, and they put out an album without her.
- 1:01:58SPEAKER_07: Well, she was probably tired of dealing with them stupid heads.
- 1:02:01SPEAKER_07: Probably.
- 1:02:02SPEAKER_04: I would tell I would be out of there too.
- 1:02:03SPEAKER_04: I don't know, but this was I gotta figure I gotta find the date on this album because it looks like nineties.
- 1:02:09SPEAKER_04: No, I don't think it was, actually.
- 1:02:11SPEAKER_04: I think it was um um I know it was in the in the 2000s, but I think even later in the 90s.
- 1:02:18SPEAKER_04: Oh yes.
- 1:02:18SPEAKER_04: I think it was uh hold on.
- 1:02:23SPEAKER_04: Well 2003.
- 1:02:26SPEAKER_04: Wow, okay.
- 1:02:26SPEAKER_04: Actually, wait.
- 1:02:27SPEAKER_07: It was almost 20 years ago.
- 1:02:29SPEAKER_04: Well, these were all written in 2003, so I'm assuming the album came out right around there.
- 1:02:34SPEAKER_04: Um but you can't tell anymore with these with these CDs.
- 1:02:39SPEAKER_07: Well, it's all you know secret information.
- 1:02:45SPEAKER_07: Right.
- 1:02:45SPEAKER_07: I mean, that's I mean, that just fall of civilization would happen.
- 1:02:49SPEAKER_04: So isn't that weird?
- 1:02:50SPEAKER_04: We talked about Christy McVee dying, and I pick a Fleet with Mac album without Christy McVee.
- 1:02:55SPEAKER_04: That's just w that's kind of that's a little weird.
- 1:02:57SPEAKER_04: That's a little creepy.
- 1:02:58SPEAKER_04: Um but they had they released one song from this album that well actually they probably released more, but one song that I really liked that I remember, um, and it's this one.
- 1:03:16SPEAKER_04: So the album is comprised mostly of Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nick songs.
- 1:03:20SPEAKER_12: We make all of all songs to stay, everyone stuff.
- 1:04:01SPEAKER_04: And then they had a song.
- 1:04:03SPEAKER_04: Um remember I played songs from uh when we were talking about Christy McVeigh, I played songs from the 1997 live album Right The Dance.
- 1:04:10SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:04:11SPEAKER_04: Uh Lindsay Buckingham did a song on that concert.
- 1:04:16SPEAKER_04: One of his songs, called Bleed to Love Her.
- 1:04:18SPEAKER_04: Which is one of my favorite Lindsay Buckingham songs.
- 1:04:21SPEAKER_04: Well, this they and that was a live version.
- 1:04:24SPEAKER_04: So they put that, they recorded that for this album.
- 1:04:29SPEAKER_04: I actually like the live version better, but this is it's pretty close.
- 1:04:48SPEAKER_04: I think Lindsay Buckingham is an understated genius.
- 1:04:52SPEAKER_07: He's got a very good pop-star.
- 1:04:56SPEAKER_07: He's weird.
- 1:04:57SPEAKER_07: Yeah, always weirdly weird out, yeah.
- 1:05:00SPEAKER_04: But you're you're right.
- 1:05:02SPEAKER_04: It's his writing and his production is spot on.
- 1:05:28SPEAKER_04: Let's play a little bit of the live version.
- 1:05:30SPEAKER_04: This is the version I like the best.
- 1:05:41SPEAKER_04: I don't know why, it just sounds warmer.
- 1:05:44SPEAKER_04: Let's have all that production.
- 1:05:45SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it's less less junk in there.
- 1:05:47SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:05:48SPEAKER_04: And it still sounds beautiful.
- 1:05:50SPEAKER_04: I mean it.
- 1:05:57SPEAKER_07: It kinda sounds like that dude from the sample.
- 1:06:07SPEAKER_04: I can hear that.
- 1:06:19SPEAKER_04: So interestingly enough, there was an album I should I should look up when this actually was because Lindsay Buckingham and Christy McVee put out an album together.
- 1:06:35SPEAKER_07: Oh, I didn't know that.
- 1:06:36SPEAKER_04: Buckingham McVee has a habit of doing that.
- 1:06:40SPEAKER_07: Yeah, he does.
- 1:06:42SPEAKER_07: Um, this may be heretical to say, but uh I don't think Stevie Nicks is as great a singer as everybody thinks she is.
- 1:06:57SPEAKER_07: But her voice has a lot of character, and I think that's what I like about it.
- 1:07:01SPEAKER_04: I think that's I think that's what a lot of people like about it.
- 1:07:03SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 1:07:04SPEAKER_04: You know, I think I think you're right.
- 1:07:05SPEAKER_07: So I'm not alone.
- 1:07:06SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 1:07:07SPEAKER_07: So I don't think she's that great a singer, to be honest with you.
- 1:07:10SPEAKER_04: I I never thought she was either.
- 1:07:12SPEAKER_07: But I I think I but I love her voice because it has It's unique.
- 1:07:15SPEAKER_07: Yeah, it's unique and it has a lot of character.
- 1:07:17SPEAKER_04: I I just don't I just don't think she's you know because she's not that she's not your she's not a singer singer, she's a performer?
- 1:07:27SPEAKER_07: Yeah, I'm good.
- 1:07:28SPEAKER_07: I I guess I'd go with that.
- 1:07:29SPEAKER_07: You know what I mean?
- 1:07:29SPEAKER_07: I mean she's yeah, she's an artist.
- 1:07:31SPEAKER_07: She's like me.
- 1:07:32SPEAKER_07: I mean I can't, you know, I can carry a tune, but I'm uh, you know.
- 1:07:37SPEAKER_07: But I wouldn't say I was a great singer.
- 1:07:39SPEAKER_07: Right.
- 1:07:39SPEAKER_07: You know.
- 1:07:42SPEAKER_07: I like to sing.
- 1:07:44SPEAKER_07: And you're good at it.
- 1:07:47SPEAKER_07: But I wouldn't say I'm a great singer.
- 1:07:50SPEAKER_07: So I guess I have that kinship with her.
- 1:07:54SPEAKER_04: So this album, Say You Will, I don't know if I told you that that was the name of the album.
- 1:07:58SPEAKER_04: Fleetwood Max.
- 1:07:59SPEAKER_07: No, you just said it was Lindsay.
- 1:08:00SPEAKER_04: It was V.

- 1:08:03SPEAKER_07: Oh, no, no, no.
- 1:08:03SPEAKER_07: No, you didn't say that.
- 1:08:04SPEAKER_04: Fleetwood Max, Say You Will is the one I'm talking about.
- 1:08:06SPEAKER_04: It did come out in 2003.
- 1:08:08SPEAKER_07: Okay.
- 1:08:08SPEAKER_04: Um the Buckingham McVee album um came out in 2017.

- 1:08:15SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:08:16SPEAKER_04: So they they had they were working together, and then a few of a few years later she'd be gone.
- 1:08:22SPEAKER_04: So I'm it's just crazy, man.
- 1:08:23SPEAKER_04: It is crazy.
- 1:08:24SPEAKER_04: Oh well, actually, you know, um they put they put out the Buckingham McVie album.
- 1:08:29SPEAKER_04: What year was it that they kicked Lindsay Buckingham out again and Mike McCampbell became the guitar player?
- 1:08:38SPEAKER_07: You've got to be more specific because they've kicked him out 87 times.
- 1:08:42SPEAKER_07: So let's see.
- 1:08:43SPEAKER_04: Let's see.
- 1:08:44SPEAKER_04: Uh actually, I think it might say Yes.
- 1:08:50SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 1:08:51SPEAKER_04: Mike Campbell.
- 1:08:52SPEAKER_04: So they put out the Buckingham McVie album.
- 1:08:56SPEAKER_04: And then they kicked him out of Fleetwood Mac.
- 1:09:01SPEAKER_04: And actually, I don't know when they kicked him out because Mike Campbell became the guitar player in 2018.
- 1:09:07SPEAKER_04: So the next year after that album came out.
- 1:09:10SPEAKER_04: But I don't know when they actually kicked him out.
- 1:09:12SPEAKER_04: Let's see.
- 1:09:13SPEAKER_04: Well, I probably would say, are you here?
- 1:09:14SPEAKER_04: Hold on.
- 1:09:16SPEAKER_04: Um.
- 1:09:19SPEAKER_04: Isn't that weird?
- 1:09:21SPEAKER_04: You know how it says band members and you know, so and so to present or whatever.
- 1:09:26SPEAKER_07: How long about Wikipedia?
- 1:09:28SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
- 1:09:28SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
- 1:09:29SPEAKER_04: Lindsey Buckingham's not even listed.
- 1:09:31SPEAKER_07: That's not a good sign.
- 1:09:32SPEAKER_04: As a band member.
- 1:09:34SPEAKER_04: Uh never heard of him.
- 1:09:39SPEAKER_04: Mick Fleetwood from 1967 to 95, and then 97 to present.

- 1:10:04SPEAKER_04: It's like he wasn't even in the band.
- 1:10:06SPEAKER_04: Wow.
- 1:10:07SPEAKER_04: That's uh that's a little cold.
- 1:10:08SPEAKER_04: That is a little cold.
- 1:10:10SPEAKER_04: Uh let's see.
- 1:10:11SPEAKER_04: If I'm reading here.
- 1:10:12SPEAKER_07: But I mean, that that just I think that just shows you where we're getting the information from.
- 1:10:18SPEAKER_07: Right, true.
- 1:10:19SPEAKER_07: I bet it was Mick.
- 1:10:21SPEAKER_07: You just think, yeah.
- 1:10:22SPEAKER_07: Screw you, Lindsay.
- 1:10:23SPEAKER_07: You're out of the band forever.
- 1:10:25SPEAKER_04: Okay, so let me look.
- 1:10:27SPEAKER_04: Uh the band music cares person of the year in 2018 and reunited to perform several songs for the uh for the uh let's see, artists remember.
- 1:10:37SPEAKER_04: In April 2018, the song Dreams re-entered the hot rock songs chart at number 16 after a viral meme had featured the song.
- 1:10:43SPEAKER_04: I remember that.
- 1:10:44SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:10:44SPEAKER_04: Someone skateboarding or something.
- 1:10:46SPEAKER_04: Roller skating or skateboarding.
- 1:10:47SPEAKER_04: The chart re-entry came 40 years after the song.
- 1:10:50SPEAKER_04: The song's streaming totals also translated into 7,000 equivalent album units, a jump of 12%.
- 1:10:56SPEAKER_04: Uh that month, Buckingham departed from the group a second time, having reportedly been dismissed.
- 1:11:04SPEAKER_04: Um, the reason was said to have been a disagreement about the nature of the tour, and in particular, the question of whether newer or less well-known material would be included as Buckingham wanted.
- 1:11:17SPEAKER_04: Uh so so in 2018 he was let go.
- 1:11:21SPEAKER_04: So it was it was after the Buckingham McVie album, and they let him go the next year.
- 1:11:27SPEAKER_04: It's just interesting.
- 1:11:28SPEAKER_07: I mean, Fleetwood Mac is just that that that's just a s soap opera of it.
- 1:11:34SPEAKER_04: It is, yeah, it really is.
- 1:11:35SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it really is.
- 1:11:36SPEAKER_04: Or what?
- 1:11:37SPEAKER_07: I'm just waiting for somebody to be like, you know, want him to go and you know have amnesia and then wake up, you know, like, you know, as Beethoven or something.
- 1:11:46SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 1:11:47SPEAKER_07: You know?
- 1:11:48SPEAKER_04: But you gotta wonder.
- 1:11:49SPEAKER_04: So Christy McVee's gone.
- 1:11:52SPEAKER_04: Do you think they'll go back out?
- 1:11:54SPEAKER_04: They're probably not gonna tour.
- 1:11:56SPEAKER_04: I don't know if they'll do.
- 1:11:57SPEAKER_07: Wasn't there somebody in there to take it over on keyboards anyway?
- 1:12:00SPEAKER_04: Well, Neil Finn, um, Mike Campbell are the newest members.
- 1:12:04SPEAKER_07: Yeah, they might as well go back out.
- 1:12:05SPEAKER_04: I mean, that's But McFleetwood's gotta be 78?
- 1:12:09SPEAKER_07: Oh yeah, he's up there.
- 1:12:10SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:12:11SPEAKER_07: I mean, you know.
- 1:12:13SPEAKER_07: I think he's a vampire.
- 1:12:15SPEAKER_04: I think we may have seen the last of Fleetwood Mac.
- 1:12:17SPEAKER_07: Well, I mean, you know, probably.
- 1:12:18SPEAKER_07: I don't know.
- 1:12:19SPEAKER_07: I mean, you know.
- 1:12:20SPEAKER_07: I think Mick Fleetwood's one of the undead.
- 1:12:23SPEAKER_07: So I mean, you know, he's probably just just biding his time.
- 1:12:27SPEAKER_07: That's why it's so weird.
- 1:12:29SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:12:30SPEAKER_07: You know?
- 1:12:30SPEAKER_07: It's all that true blood crap.
- 1:12:32SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:12:32SPEAKER_07: You know what I mean?
- 1:12:33SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:12:33SPEAKER_07: You know, they might as well just at this point they should just make Fleetwood Mac a reality show.
- 1:12:39SPEAKER_07: You know?
- 1:12:40SPEAKER_07: Who's gonna who's gonna be the band this week?
- 1:12:43SPEAKER_07: You know what I mean?
- 1:12:45SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:12:45SPEAKER_07: Just why not?
- 1:12:46SPEAKER_07: Why not?
- 1:12:47SPEAKER_07: Why not?
- 1:12:47SPEAKER_07: Just have just have Mick sitting there and just, you know, drinking tea or whatever he does, or blood or whatever he's drinking, and uh just you know, just just film him.
- 1:12:57SPEAKER_07: Just you know, just see this revolving cast of musicians just come and go, play Fleetwood Mac songs, and then he kills them.
- 1:13:04SPEAKER_07: Uh, and then they become the undead along with him, and then he just Wait, wasn't that a uh Foo Fighters movie?
- 1:13:10SPEAKER_07: Probably.
- 1:13:13SPEAKER_07: I'm sure Dave will show up at some point.
- 1:13:14SPEAKER_03: What was that, Hotel 666 or something?
- 1:13:16SPEAKER_03: No, it was uh Studio 666.
- 1:13:19SPEAKER_07: You know, I'm you know, I'm just I'm just waiting.
- 1:13:21SPEAKER_04: Just waiting.
- 1:13:22SPEAKER_04: Interesting.
- 1:13:22SPEAKER_04: That album, uh the one we picked, Say You Will, 2003.
- 1:13:26SPEAKER_04: So that was the last uh Fleetwood Mac studio album.
- 1:13:30SPEAKER_07: But was it?
- 1:13:30SPEAKER_07: Because it was Christine McVeigh.
- 1:13:32SPEAKER_04: Well true.
- 1:13:33SPEAKER_04: You know, it was under the under the moniker Fleetwood Mac, but Christine McVeigh wasn't there.
- 1:13:37SPEAKER_07: Yeah, so it wasn't me it wasn't really Fleetwood Mac.
- 1:13:40SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:13:41SPEAKER_07: I mean it might say Fleetwood Mac, but you know.
- 1:13:44SPEAKER_07: We can just call it anything at this point.
