0:30
Speaker 1: a little thing we like to call the after Party.
0:32
Speaker 1: This is the show after the show, the party after
0:34
Speaker 1: the party, the bridge to get you from one full
0:35
Speaker 1: episode of Disgraceland to the other. The backyard, to dig
0:38
Speaker 1: into the dirt, our mission to uncover the truth, to
0:41

0:44
Speaker 1: we are discussing incredible stories of rock and roll redemption,
0:49
Speaker 1: everybody from Tina Turner to Ozzy Osbourne, Frank Sinatra, and
0:52
Speaker 1: you know everyone in between. In the exclusive portion of
0:54
Speaker 1: this after Party, we dive into some of the weirdest
0:57
Speaker 1: number one songs in New Year's music history, getting into
1:02
Speaker 1: your emails, comments, dms, and as always a whole lot
1:06
Speaker 1: of rosie. This is the podcast for the musically obsessed,
1:08
Speaker 1: the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best
1:10
Speaker 1: history is the history that gets buried. Disgrace Land is
1:13
Speaker 1: where I tell the stories they didn't want to told.
1:15
Speaker 1: The kind you'll end up telling someone else. All right,
1:17
Speaker 1: disc goes, let's get into it, all right, it's officially
1:31
Speaker 1: the new year, so happy New Year. I hope twenty
1:35
Speaker 1: twenty six is everything that you want it to be.
1:39
Speaker 1: I love this time of year. For me, at least,
1:41
Speaker 1: there's always so much hope and you can feel it.
1:45
Speaker 1: You can feel it in the area, you can feel
1:47
Speaker 1: it with your family hopefully, you can feel it with
1:51
Speaker 1: the people you work with ideally, and you know, for me,
1:56
Speaker 1: hope is it's like a drug. I mean, what else
1:59
Speaker 1: are we doing here? Hoping for something, something more, something better,
2:05
Speaker 1: hoping to become better versions of ourselves. And you know,
2:11
Speaker 1: maybe I think that way because I'm creative and I'm
2:13
Speaker 1: constantly trying to create something different and new and say
2:16
Speaker 1: things and new and in different ways, say things that
2:22
Speaker 1: with more clarity, say things above familiar subjects with unique
2:28
Speaker 1: perspective that I haven't necessarily shared before. So I'm always
2:32
Speaker 1: thinking about this type of stuff, and hope is a
2:34
Speaker 1: big component to that thinking. And for artists, I feel like,
2:38
Speaker 1: you know, if you know, hope is more than a drugs,
2:41
Speaker 1: It's like oxygen. The hope that the new year brings
2:46
Speaker 1: can be a catalyst for creative change, like I mentioned,
2:50
Speaker 1: and as we look at music history, that change for
2:54
Speaker 1: a lot of rock stars meant redemption, and that redemption
2:59
Speaker 1: lends itself to incredible storytelling. Stories of redemption that are
3:06
Speaker 1: so dramatic that if you handed them in as Hollywood scripts,
3:11
Speaker 1: Hollywood be like, no, this is too fantastical. This goes
3:16
Speaker 1: out of the bounds of reality. Let's look at Ozzy Osbourne.
3:19
Speaker 1: April nineteen seventy nine, Ozzy Osbourne was kicked out of
3:22
Speaker 1: the band that he co founded, Black Sabbath, and he
3:25
Speaker 1: spent the next few months hold up in a hotel
3:30
Speaker 1: room in Hollywood, spending I think he had like almost
3:33
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars as part of a buyout that
3:36
Speaker 1: he got from the band, and he used it all
3:38
Speaker 1: on drugs, and he just did a bunch of cocaine
3:41
Speaker 1: while he was in that hotel room locking his wounds.
3:44
Speaker 1: But by the end of the year, by the end
3:46
Speaker 1: of nineteen seventy nine, for Ozzy Osbourne, hope had overcome despair.
3:51
Speaker 1: Ozzie had a new band and a new album in
3:54
Speaker 1: the works, Blizzard of Oz. Ozzie hoped that Blizzard of
3:59
Speaker 1: Oz would launch his solo career in that next year,
4:02
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty, and that's exactly what happened. When nineteen
4:05
Speaker 1: eighty rolled around. Blizzard of Oz went on to sell
4:09
Speaker 1: well like Cocaine, which is to say it sold very well.
4:12
Speaker 1: Blizzard of Oz went platinum without the help of a
4:15
Speaker 1: radio single, but on the back of Ozzy Osbourne's hope
4:20
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, Ozzy Osborne wakes up in
4:22
Speaker 1: a new decade and he's more popular than the band
4:25
Speaker 1: that he was just kicked out of. Incredible story of
4:30
Speaker 1: just you know, low's and highs and highs and lows
4:33
Speaker 1: and ultimately redemption in the end. Then it doesn't end here, obviously,
4:37
Speaker 1: Ozzy's story goes on and on and on, and there's
4:40
Speaker 1: more highs and lows and including the point where he
4:43
Speaker 1: almost murders his wife and he manages to somehow come
4:46
Speaker 1: back from that fantastic storytelling, like I said, redemption. At
4:50
Speaker 1: the end of nineteen eighty seven, here's another one. Red
4:52
Speaker 1: Hot Chili Peppers Anthony Keiatis, their front man, decided that
4:56
Speaker 1: by eighty seven it was time that he and his
4:58
Speaker 1: band's guitarists Hello Slovak, face their addiction to Heroin because
5:05
Speaker 1: their life's worked to this point. The band that they
5:08
Speaker 1: were in, the band that they loved, the Chili Peppers.
5:10
Speaker 1: The existence of that band was on the line. And
5:13
Speaker 1: their latest album in nineteen eighty seven, Uplift Mofo Party Plan,
5:17
Speaker 1: and it entered the Billboard two hundred. So now these
5:20
Speaker 1: guys they've got some they've got stakes to their story.
5:23
Speaker 1: They've got a real chance to break through as a band.
5:29
Speaker 1: So Anthony in helll At the end of nineteen eighty seven,
5:32
Speaker 1: they decided to give up Heroin together before touring Europe
5:37
Speaker 1: in support of their new record, uplif Mofo Party Plan.
5:42
Speaker 1: They're going to go on tour in January of nineteen
5:44
Speaker 1: eighty eight, so you know, right in the new year, right,
5:48
Speaker 1: giving up Heroin for the new year. That's the plan. Okay, Now,
5:51
Speaker 1: giving up Heroin worked for Anthony Keatis, but it did
5:54
Speaker 1: not work for Hello. He relapsed on the road in Europe,
5:57
Speaker 1: was kicked out of the band briefly while they were
5:59
Speaker 1: on tour, and then asked to rejoin to finish the tour.
6:03
Speaker 1: And that's what happened. Chili Peppers returned to the States
6:08
Speaker 1: and they were a mess and they all go their
6:11
Speaker 1: separate ways, and then they start to resurface, but they
6:16
Speaker 1: can't find Hello. Turns out his body was found in
6:21
Speaker 1: his Hollywood apartment on June twenty fifth, nineteen eighty eight.
6:26
Speaker 1: Now Here we are at the bottom, the lowest of
6:30
Speaker 1: the low The thing that Anthony Keatis and the rest
6:33
Speaker 1: of his band feared the most had happened. One of
6:37
Speaker 1: the Red Hot Chili Peppers had died of a heroin overdose.
6:40
Speaker 1: Now as nineteen eighty eight progressed, the loss of Hello Slovak,
6:46
Speaker 1: their guitar player, proved almost to be too much for
6:50
Speaker 1: their band. Drummer Jack Irons quit, saying that he didn't
6:54
Speaker 1: want to be part of something that could kill him
6:57
Speaker 1: or his friends. New drummer and a new gud Harris,
7:00
Speaker 1: briefly joined the band, but by the end of nineteen
7:02
Speaker 1: eighty eight, they were both replaced by Chad Smith and
7:06
Speaker 1: John Frusciante. I was nineteen eighty eight became nineteen eighty nine.
7:11
Speaker 1: The new Red Hot Chili Peppers were readying themselves to
7:15
Speaker 1: start January pre production for what would become their classic album,
7:20
Speaker 1: Mother's Milk. And they're starting this process with fifty percent
7:26
Speaker 1: new band Okay, not an easy thing to do, not
7:30
Speaker 1: at all. I don't care if your bass player is
7:32
Speaker 1: named Flee. It's really hard to replace. They were my
7:35
Speaker 1: one member, two members, especially a drummer and a lead
7:38
Speaker 1: guitar player. I mean, come on, it's not like they're
7:39
Speaker 1: just slotting in a well, not like you could replace.
7:42
Speaker 1: I was gonna say slot in a bass player, but
7:44
Speaker 1: I guess Flee is the one guy you absolutely could
7:46
Speaker 1: not replace in the Chili Peppers. That's all beside the
7:50
Speaker 1: point they're going in in January of nineteen eighty nine,
7:54
Speaker 1: they're going into pre production for Mother's Milk. Whatever their
7:58
Speaker 1: hopes were, you you have to think, first and foremost,
8:02
Speaker 1: it was the hope that they didn't suck. Okay, you
8:04
Speaker 1: have to think that anything beyond that was a win.
8:08
Speaker 1: But now we have hindsight, and we have biographies, autobiographies,
8:12
Speaker 1: excuse me, and we know that Anthony Quatus and the
8:16
Speaker 1: rest of the Red Hot Chili Peppers were hoping for
8:18
Speaker 1: more than to just not suck. Okay, Uplift MOFO Party
8:24
Speaker 1: Plan was a Billboard charting album. They wanted their next record,
8:28
Speaker 1: Mother's Milk, to be a mainstream breakthrough, which is not
8:33
Speaker 1: easy for any band, never mind a band that's replacing
8:35
Speaker 1: fifty percent of its members. And that's what they were
8:38
Speaker 1: hoping for, and that's exactly what happened. Mother's Milk went
8:44
Speaker 1: gold and set the stage for what would become the
8:47
Speaker 1: band's not just a hit record, but a culture defining
8:51
Speaker 1: moment when they released the follow up to Mother's Milk
8:54
Speaker 1: a few years later with Blood Sugar, Sex Magic, an
8:58
Speaker 1: album that it was everywhere when it was released, all
9:02
Speaker 1: over MTV, all over the radio. It was the song
9:06
Speaker 1: for my senior hop. It was just an explosive record.
9:09
Speaker 1: People who had no idea about alternative music knew or
9:14
Speaker 1: had heard at least of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
9:18
Speaker 1: They became a household name, and just a few years
9:22
Speaker 1: prior to that, on the verge of nineteen eighty nine,
9:27
Speaker 1: they were basically dead in the water. Hope went to work,
9:32
Speaker 1: just like it did in July nineteen seventy six, when
9:35
Speaker 1: Anime Bullock left her abusive husband after a final violent altercation.
9:41
Speaker 1: Anime had only thirty six cents to her name when
9:46
Speaker 1: she left her husband. She didn't seek money in the
9:48
Speaker 1: divorce from her rock star husband, just the right to
9:51
Speaker 1: continue to use her stage name Tina Turner, and she
9:56
Speaker 1: won that right, and for the next six New Year's eves,
10:00
Speaker 1: Tina Turner plied her craft on crummy stages in third
10:04
Speaker 1: and fourth rate nightclubs, lounges and cabarets, fighting her way
10:08
Speaker 1: back to what she hoped would be a respectable career
10:12
Speaker 1: in entertainment. And on December thirty first, nineteen eighty three,
10:16
Speaker 1: Tina Turner watched herself in a pre taped performance on
10:20
Speaker 1: Barcelona television, performing with a new look, heavily teased hair bangs,
10:25
Speaker 1: big hoop earrings, trademark legs for days, and she thought
10:29
Speaker 1: about the future. She thought about the hope that she
10:32
Speaker 1: had for a new album that she'd begun production on
10:36
Speaker 1: for Capitol Records, a new record that she hoped would
10:40
Speaker 1: re establish her as an entertaining force in her own right,
10:44
Speaker 1: without her abusive husband, like Turner, backing her. Tina Turner
10:49
Speaker 1: hoped that this record would make her own name Tina
10:53
Speaker 1: ring out. Private Dancer was released in the spring of
10:57
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four. The album was instantly a doored by critics,
11:01
Speaker 1: its singles played endlessly by FM radio, It's videos rotated
11:06
Speaker 1: heavily by MTV, and it sold millions and millions of copies.
11:12
Speaker 1: Tina Turner, like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, like Ozzy Osbourne,
11:17
Speaker 1: and like so many other artists we've covered in disgrace
11:20
Speaker 1: that Johnny Cash, Iggy Pop, Ac, DC, Frank Sinatra. They
11:26
Speaker 1: were down and nearly out, their careers seemingly over, but
11:31
Speaker 1: we're not. For this crucial ingredient that seems to be
11:36
Speaker 1: in abundance this time of year. Hope. Hope makes for
11:43
Speaker 1: great storytelling. Hope makes for a lot of great things.
11:49
Speaker 1: It's hard, it's hard to lift them all without sounding
11:52
Speaker 1: like a total fucking cheese ball, but it's part of
11:57
Speaker 1: what gets us up in the morning and gets us going,
12:00
Speaker 1: and it comes into focus for me at least, and
12:03
Speaker 1: you know, for a lot of the artists we cover
12:05
Speaker 1: around this time of year. I hope it does for
12:07
Speaker 1: you as well. I hope you guys are having a
12:10
Speaker 1: great holiday season. I hope you're all gearing up to
12:13
Speaker 1: achieve whatever it is you want to achieve this year,
12:15
Speaker 1: whether it's global superstardom like Tina Turner, or perhaps something
12:19
Speaker 1: more modest, like a few more quiet nights at home
12:21
Speaker 1: with your family, perhaps some peace of mind. Whatever it is,
12:25
Speaker 1: I hope you get it, and I hope to keep
12:26
Speaker 1: talking to you here in Disgraceland every week. We had
12:30
Speaker 1: a lot of great stories planned for you guys in
12:31
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, in addition to these weekly after party episodes.
12:36
Speaker 1: One thing that we're going to start doing beginning next
12:38
Speaker 1: week here in Disgraceland is laying out our new full
12:43
Speaker 1: episodes for you guys with a little bit more information
12:47
Speaker 1: and a little bit more intentionality. Now, one of the
12:51
Speaker 1: things that's changed in Disgraceland over the last few years
12:55
Speaker 1: is that Disgraceland the show used to be much more
12:59
Speaker 1: of a seasonal show, where we release twelve weekly episodes
13:04
Speaker 1: seasonally and then take a bunch of weeks off before
13:07
Speaker 1: releasing a new season. Now, the cool thing about this was,
13:13
Speaker 1: you know, in addition to having you know, a whole
13:16
Speaker 1: lot less work to do, but that's you know, I'm
13:18
Speaker 1: only kidding about that. The cool thing was as a
13:20
Speaker 1: result of this schedule where we were sort of releasing
13:26
Speaker 1: seasons in batches. When these batched releases would happen, it
13:31
Speaker 1: would create these moments of excitement around discovering which artists
13:36
Speaker 1: we'd all be digging into at the same time, and
13:39
Speaker 1: now that we've published episodes every week, we've lost those
13:42
Speaker 1: big reveals. So what I'm gonna start doing is once
13:46
Speaker 1: every three or four months, I'm gonna pop into the
13:49
Speaker 1: feed with a reveal episode, so to speak, a behind
13:52
Speaker 1: the scenes episode. We're gonna talk about what artists are
13:55
Speaker 1: coming over the next twelve or so weeks, like coming immediately,
13:59
Speaker 1: and we're gonna give you guys insight into those stories,
14:01
Speaker 1: the crimes, the myths, the transgressions, all of it. And
14:05
Speaker 1: we're gonna give, like I said, a bit of behind
14:07
Speaker 1: the scenes peak at how these stories are chosen and
14:11
Speaker 1: how they're being put together in real time. What we're
14:15
Speaker 1: doing for research, what we're planning on doing for music,
14:17
Speaker 1: Which parts of the stories we're leaning into, Which parts
14:20
Speaker 1: of the stories we're leaving on the table. I'm also
14:23
Speaker 1: doing this in part because what we've got going on
14:25
Speaker 1: in Patreon for twenty twenty six. If you're in on
14:30
Speaker 1: the ten dollars tier, if you're a ten dollars tier
14:33
Speaker 1: all access member in Patreon, you're gonna have the ability
14:38
Speaker 1: to meet with Zeth and I perhaps Matt as well,
14:41
Speaker 1: to help determine and choose which artists that we're going
14:44
Speaker 1: to cover, and these new behind the scenes episodes like
14:47
Speaker 1: the one you're gonna get next week, they're going to
14:49
Speaker 1: take on more weight in relevance. You're gonna get to hear.
14:52
Speaker 1: If you're a ten dollars Patreon, you're gonna get to hear.
14:55
Speaker 1: So the results of your thinking and your choices coming
14:57
Speaker 1: to life right alongside are thinking. So that's all that's
15:02
Speaker 1: all happening. It's all happening in twenty twenty six. That
15:05
Speaker 1: behind the scenes episode that the seasonal reveal is coming
15:08
Speaker 1: your way next week, and then right after that we
15:11
Speaker 1: start the new year with our brand new episode on
15:15
Speaker 1: Johnny Thunders of the New York Dolls and the mystery
15:19
Speaker 1: surrounding his death. And from there we're going to get
15:23
Speaker 1: into brand new episodes. I'm not going to burn them
15:26
Speaker 1: all now, you're gonna have to wait till next week
15:28
Speaker 1: to hear which ones we're coming at you with. But
15:30
Speaker 1: I'm very very excited. You know, we did rely heavily
15:35

15:38

17:11
Speaker 1: Speaking of Christmas, I got some incredible gifts from my
17:15
Speaker 1: family this year. Small gifts, really, but if you looked
17:20
Speaker 1: at the books that I received, and this will sort
17:23
Speaker 1: of serve as a recommendation section here impromptu, you can
17:27
Speaker 1: tell my family really gets me, as they should. I
17:34
Speaker 1: got the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood book by
17:36
Speaker 1: Jay Glenny, which is just fantastic. It's a tome of
17:42
Speaker 1: these incredible images and stories from the making of Quentin
17:49
Speaker 1: Tarantino's ninth and what looks like to be his final film.
17:54
Speaker 1: I know what I just said here. If you're a
17:56
Speaker 1: fan of Tarantino, you're a fan of that movie, it says,
18:00
Speaker 1: and that should be enough. But I can't put into
18:03
Speaker 1: words how exhilarating this book is. The stories are incredible
18:08
Speaker 1: and the pictures are equally incredible. Just just a wonderful,
18:14
Speaker 1: wonderful gift. It was the only thing I asked for
18:16
Speaker 1: my wife came through Jay glennies Once Upon a Time
18:18
Speaker 1: in Hollywood. I also received a collection of Joan Didion books.
18:25
Speaker 1: Very cool, very cool. As I start to consider you know,
18:29
Speaker 1: how do I? You know, how do I?
18:32
Speaker 3: What if?
18:32
Speaker 1: I want to do some music history essays? You know
18:35
Speaker 1: what about that? And the Joan Didion stuff is sort
18:38
Speaker 1: of a perfect guide. Bread of Angels by Patti Smith,
18:43
Speaker 1: Dirtbag Massachusetts by Isaac Fitzgerald. My son got me The
18:49
Speaker 1: Fall of Egypt in the Rise of Rome, and he
18:52
Speaker 1: also got me Blood and Thunder, which is a book
18:55
Speaker 1: on the settling of the American West, which has been
18:58
Speaker 1: a recent fascination of mine. My wife got me Evan
19:02
Speaker 1: Dando's Rumors of my Demise, so I guess there's going
19:06
Speaker 1: to be an Evan Dando episode coming to you in
19:08
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. And I get a book on the
19:11
Speaker 1: Eucharist as well, which I'm pretty excited to read. So
19:15
Speaker 1: some great books there for records. Let's see what I got.
19:19
Speaker 1: This is stack here. My aunt Tracy got me Rufus
19:25
Speaker 1: and Chaka Khan Live, which I didn't know I needed,
19:30
Speaker 1: but I have it, and I'm excited. I got my
19:32
Speaker 1: wife Jimmy World's Bleed American on vinyl. That's here in

21:19
Speaker 1: between us, I want to get into some voicemails, texts
21:22
Speaker 1: and emails from you guys, just sort of clear the
21:26
Speaker 1: deck here, no real focus, but just to talk oftentimes.
21:32
Speaker 1: I'm calling through these responses from you guys in relation
21:35
Speaker 1: to the question of the week. We really have a
21:38
Speaker 1: question of the week because we're kind of free wheel
21:39
Speaker 1: on it here through the New Year's Okay, this one here,
21:44
Speaker 1: everybody has to listen to this. Okay, this is from
21:49
Speaker 1: the nine to seventy and nine to seventy eight. I
21:52
Speaker 1: apologize a ton of text here, and I haven't responded
21:57
Speaker 1: to any of these texts in text form. I'm guessing
22:03
Speaker 1: I've read some of them, but I don't know how
22:06
Speaker 1: I missed a bunch of these if I didn't. But
22:08
Speaker 1: anyways nine to seven eight, Mark writes in hey, check
22:12
Speaker 1: it out the beginnings of a playlist containing every song
22:16
Speaker 1: you mentioned, specifically from Disgrace Sand not the album, that
22:19
Speaker 1: would be crazy, and not references. I'd probably miss a bunch,
22:22
Speaker 1: but actual song titles in every episode up to The
22:26
Speaker 1: Grateful Dead. So far, it's fucking awesome. From Mark in
22:31
Speaker 1: the nine to seven eight Helltown Baby, Where's helltoun? In
22:35
Speaker 1: the nine seven eight I feel like I've been there.
22:37
Speaker 1: But you click on the link and it takes you
22:39
Speaker 1: to this Apple Music playlist and it is as advertised.
22:46
Speaker 1: It's I thought this is going to be the number
22:49
Speaker 1: one songs mentioned. It is more psychotic than that. This
22:54
Speaker 1: is literally every song mentioned in our episodes. Like when
23:00
Speaker 1: I'm referencing Hey Jude in a Beatles episode, it's got
23:02
Speaker 1: hey Jude. When I'm mentioning uh, far Away Eyes by
23:07
Speaker 1: the Rolling Stones in the Keith Richards episode. That's not
23:11
Speaker 1: a number one song, but that's in here. Shape of
23:13
Speaker 1: You by Ed Shearing. That wasn't number one song. That's
23:15
Speaker 1: in here Straight out of Compton, The Race by Take
23:20
Speaker 1: Rat Race by Bob Marley and the Whaler say, oh
23:22
Speaker 1: my god, this is amazing. He stopped loving her today.
23:26
Speaker 1: George Jones, the old violin, Johnny Paychack, pardon me, I've
23:30
Speaker 1: got someone to kill Johnny paycheck Yo. Mark, Keep going, dude,
23:35
Speaker 1: this thing needs to be a living, breathing list. Keep
23:39
Speaker 1: going with this. I see that you're up to looks
23:43
Speaker 1: like you've made it to well. You said grateful dead.
23:48
Speaker 1: I'm not seeing evidence of that. I could be wrong.
23:50
Speaker 1: Definitely into season four here with Icontina Turner, which damn man,
23:56
Speaker 1: nice work.
23:57
Speaker 3: Keep going, Mark.
23:58
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put this in ya in the Patreon, in

24:15
Speaker 1: that this list of songs mentioned in Disgraceland continues to
24:19
Speaker 1: grow because it will be a hell of a playlist.
24:21
Speaker 1: Thank you, Mark. I want to give a special shout
24:24
Speaker 1: out back to the six one five who last week
24:27
Speaker 1: texted in and brought up Beautiful Girls as a fantastic
24:31
Speaker 1: Christmas movie and I can't believe I space on talking
24:36
Speaker 1: about this over the last few weeks. I went back
24:37
Speaker 1: and I watched it over the weekend and Beautiful Girls.
24:43
Speaker 1: Not only is it a great Christmas movie, it has
24:45
Speaker 1: a fantastic soundtrack. Afghan Whigs are actually in the movie.
24:50
Speaker 1: It's just filled with great classic rock and really, you
24:54
Speaker 1: know this, this movie reminds me so much of my hometown,
24:58
Speaker 1: of my upbringing, of my friends from home. I just
25:01
Speaker 1: feel like this in a weird way, the movies about us.
25:04
Speaker 1: It's set in a fictional town in Massachusetts. It looks
25:08
Speaker 1: exactly like the town I grew up in, so again
25:11
Speaker 1: six one five. Thank you so much for that, and
25:13
Speaker 1: I got Zeth's watching it and talking about it as well.

26:11
Speaker 1: Over on Patreon, Eric writes in Hey, can't figure out
26:15
Speaker 1: how to post a pick on here, but I finally
26:16
Speaker 1: came across the interview with Angus Young that I'd read
26:19
Speaker 1: years ago. Now I'm reading this to you because Eric
26:23
Speaker 1: is commenting on the ACDC mini episode that we released
26:27
Speaker 1: a couple weeks back, but a month back, a month
26:30
Speaker 1: or so, a couple months actually, one of our first
26:32
Speaker 1: mini episodes about who wrote the lyrics to back in
26:36
Speaker 1: Black Right? Seems like a cut and dry answered question,
26:39
Speaker 1: cut and dry answer. This. This is the quote that
26:42
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I referenced, I might have referenced in
26:45
Speaker 1: my in our episode, but Eric dug this up. This
26:49
Speaker 1: is the quote from Angus Young. Have you ever thought
26:51
Speaker 1: about quitting? Was the question to Angus, and Angus response,
26:55
Speaker 1: The only time I did was when Bond Scott died.
26:57
Speaker 1: We were in doubt about what to do. We had
27:00
Speaker 1: songs that he had written and we wanted to finish
27:03
Speaker 1: the songs. We thought it would be a tribute to Bond,
27:07
Speaker 1: and that album became Back in Black. Come on, man,
27:11
Speaker 1: I think the evidence is pretty clear. Eric, thank you
27:13
