• 5:11
  SPEAKER_04: Alright.

• 5:40
  SPEAKER_04: His finger picking style.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_04: Um when I'm watching him on the big screen and he's and he's you know doing all the finger picking and everything, his hands are shaking like this as he's doing it.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_04: You know, because you know, I'm sure age catches up with you.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_10: Oh, I'm sure.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_04: And he sings in a way, and my wife and I were talking about this.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_04: I don't know if it's just for effect, but when he sings now, it seems like he's in pain.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_04: Because he makes he makes all these faces like this.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_04: Oh tighten scrunches up his face when he when he sings.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_04: And he did make a joke about uh keeping his dantures in.

• 10:12
  SPEAKER_19: Did it go on for like another 15 minutes?
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_04: No.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_04: No, but they they started doing this doom do do do do do do do do and they kept going with the end of the song.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it was it was pretty pretty cool.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_10: Um you know what's funny?
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_10: Looking at James Taylor, yeah, his forearms are huge.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_04: Yes, they are, and it's like a huge vein and stuff, yeah.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_10: And then like from his elbow up, it's like really skinny.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_10: So you can tell he's a guitar player.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_10: Oh, yeah.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_04: You know, just like one thing I wanted to point out, uh this guy right here, this is Mike Landau, who's a legendary guitar player, session player and and and blues guy, really.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_04: Look at his amp.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_04: He's got a Dr.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_04: Z amp.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_04: I'm not sure what the head is up there.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_04: It might be a Dr.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_04: Z, but it's facing him.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_04: It's facing it's facing the band.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_04: So I I don't know what kind of difference that would make.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_04: Uh I know we get some complaints from the trumpet section if I did that.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_11: Oh yeah.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_04: Um, but obviously he can hear it better if it's facing him, and it's mic'd, so it's going out the front.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_04: Right.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_04: So I I don't know.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_04: I I'd like to try that on a in a future future show.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_04: Um and the other thing, this guy, man, this guitar player, you'd you'd have to you it kind of had to be there, but when when James Taylor plays, especially his like 80s and 90s uh output, uh those albums, there's a lot of like there's a this guy can make a pedal steel sound with his guitar, his whammy bar.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_04: And it sounds like like he obviously has a volume pedal, you know, so like he'll he'll hit something and then turn the volume up, but he does it so perfectly that it sounds like a pedal steel guitar.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_04: It's amazing, and it's hard to tell the difference.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_04: It's it's fantastic.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_10: But anyway.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_10: Maybe there's a pedal now that makes the makes it sound like that.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_04: I don't think so.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_04: I cause you know, and well you don't know.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_04: You don't know.
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_04: Um but and and the cool the neat thing about it is most of the time they're all sitting down.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_04: They've all got stools.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_04: So he's Mike Landau's sitting over there in the corner.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_10: Just kind of you know well they are in their 70s, man.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_10: I could I totally get it, man.

• 20:48
  SPEAKER_04: I was like, I'm kind of I kind of know how I want it to look.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_04: And you know, so I might as well just do it myself.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_04: Because I would have to I would have to save the file somewhere and s and give her access to it and tell her what I want, right, and blah blah blah.
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_04: It could be done, it would just be a lot more of a hassle, sure, you know, on both of our parts.
• 21:09
  SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah.
• 21:11
  SPEAKER_04: And I and then I I think I saw it on Instagram and which I didn't know that there's a certain way you have to format things.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_04: So I watched it on Instagram and all of the wording is like cut off on either side.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_04: So you can't read what it says, you know.
• 21:33
  SPEAKER_10: Not that that matters.
• 21:34
  SPEAKER_04: I mean I mean, the the con the video content is still there.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_04: Right.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_04: But you know, because I was promoting the episode and and where to where to find us and all that stuff, and you really couldn't read any of that.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_04: So there's a there's a format that this has to be, and she so kindly said, you know, I can do that for you if you if you need me to.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_04: And I said, Well, let's revisit it in a little while.
• 21:56
  SPEAKER_04: And maybe maybe I said, When I go back into school.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_04: When I get back to teaching, I'd like to keep the videos going, but I might not have time to edit them.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_04: Right.
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_04: So maybe I could maybe we could do it then.
• 22:10

• 22:45
  SPEAKER_04: Which I don't remember that.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, I've read a lot of Beatles' history, not as much as you.
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_04: Something tells me that heroin was involved in that accident.
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_04: And that's why it wasn't uh widely publicized.
• 22:57

  SPEAKER_10: There I go.
• 50:06
  SPEAKER_10: This is way easier than that box.
• 50:10
  SPEAKER_10: Two events uh oh, I'm sorry.
• 50:12
  SPEAKER_10: The it's from I'm a loser.
• 50:14
  SPEAKER_10: This is what we're talking about today.
• 50:15
  SPEAKER_10: So apropos.
• 50:17
  SPEAKER_10: Apropos.
• 50:18
  SPEAKER_10: Two events during 1964 were to have a profound effect on John's writing.
• 50:23
  SPEAKER_10: The first was hearing Bob Dylan's music in Paris during January, when Paul acquired the Freewillin' Bob Dylan from an interviewer at a local radio station.
• 50:32
  SPEAKER_10: Paul had heard Dylan's music before through his student friends in Liverpool, but it was the first time John had heard it.
• 50:42
  SPEAKER_10: Sorry.
• 50:43
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, right there.
• 50:46
  SPEAKER_10: After hearing Freewillin', which was Dylan's second album, they went out and bought his debut album, Bob Dylan.
• 50:52
  SPEAKER_10: And according to John, for the rest of our three weeks, we didn't stop playing them.
• 50:56
  SPEAKER_10: We all went potty on Dylan.
• 50:59
  SPEAKER_10: I'm not sure exactly what that must be some British term.
• 51:02
  SPEAKER_10: Must be.
• 51:02
  SPEAKER_10: Okay.
• 51:03
  SPEAKER_10: The second event to affect John in a big way was meeting journalist Kenneth Alsop, a writer for the Daily Mail and a regular interviewer on tonight on Tonight, BBC's television's news program.
• 51:16
  SPEAKER_10: John first met him on March 23rd when he was interviewed for four minutes on tonight about his book in his own right.
• 51:24
  SPEAKER_10: And then again at a foil's literary luncheon at the Dorchester Hotel in London's Park Lane.
• 51:30
  SPEAKER_10: Also, up a handsome craggy Yorkshire man I don't know what that has to do with anything, was 44 years old at the time and was about to become one of the best-known faces on British television.
• 51:42
  SPEAKER_10: He had been in journalism since 1938 with a brief interruption caused by the war during which he served in the Royal Air Force.
• 51:49
  SPEAKER_10: It was in the Green Room, the hospitality suite at 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.
• 52:04
  SPEAKER_10: It was obvious to Alsop from reading his own right that John had much more to give if he was prepared to open up to his deeper feelings.
• 52:12
  SPEAKER_10: Years later, John told his confidant, Elliot Mintz, that this meeting marked a significant significant turning point in his songwriting.
• 52:20
  SPEAKER_10: He told me he was very nervous that day, and because of this, he became very talkative and engaged Al Sop in conversations as Mintz.
• 52:27
  SPEAKER_10: Also, in essence, said to him that he wasn't terribly enamored with Beatles' songs because they all tend to be she loves him, he loves her, they love her, I love her.
• 52:37
  SPEAKER_10: He suggested to John that he tried to write something more autobiography based on personal experience rather than these abstract images that struck a chord with him.
• 52:46
  SPEAKER_10: Although recorded five months later, I'm a loser was the first fruit of this meeting with Also.
• 52:52
  SPEAKER_10: 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, that sounds really bad, as lonely, sad, and abandoned.
• 53:02
  SPEAKER_10: But I but in I'm a loser, he let a little more of his true self show.
• 53:06
  SPEAKER_10: 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.
• 53:17
  SPEAKER_10: He's not just a loser in love, he feels like he's a loser in life.
• 53:20
  SPEAKER_10: All this all this would be idle speculation if it wasn't for the fact that I'm a loser can now be seen as an early stage in John's torturous journey towards candid self-revel relev revelation in his songwriting.
• 53:34
  SPEAKER_10: At the time, he was quick to credit the effect Bob Dylan had on I'm a loser.
• 53:39
  SPEAKER_10: Anyone who's one of the best in his field, as Dylan is, is bound to influence people, he said at the time.
• 53:44
  SPEAKER_10: I wouldn't be surprised if we influenced him in some way.
• 53:47
  SPEAKER_10: Kenneth Alsop went on to present the television news program twenty-four hours, and then in May 1973, he was found dead at his home.
• 53:56
  SPEAKER_10: Why do why do we keep talking about this dude?
• 54:00
  SPEAKER_10: Who cares?
• 54:02
  SPEAKER_10: Well, that's sad.
• 54:05
  SPEAKER_10: I don't know.
• 54:06
  SPEAKER_10: I mean, he's been dead since, you know, for over fifty years now, but whatever.
• 54:10
  SPEAKER_10: Uh the cause of his death was an overdose of painkillers, but the lack of a suicide note meant that the inquest was left to rec r record an open verdict.
• 54:21
  SPEAKER_10: Hard traveling, Aesop's Alsops account of the life of the American Hobo was first published in 1967 and has become a classic of its kind and is still in print.
• 54:31
  SPEAKER_10: Most of it was called this dude.
• 54:34
  SPEAKER_04: Well, obviously he had uh something to do with it.
• 54:38
  SPEAKER_04: Right?
• 54:39
  SPEAKER_07: I guess.
• 54:41
  SPEAKER_04: We should say this comes from a hard days right from Steve Turner.
• 54:43
  SPEAKER_04: Did we say that?
• 54:44
  SPEAKER_04: No, I did not, but Hard Days Right.
• 54:47
  SPEAKER_04: Book by Steve Turner.
• 54:48
  SPEAKER_03: That's what uh that is the bonus Beatles bit for today.
• 54:51
  SPEAKER_03: Thank you, Doug.
• 54:52
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 54:53
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 54:59
  SPEAKER_10: I thought it'd be more about the song, not about this.
• 55:01
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, okay.
• 55:02
  SPEAKER_10: Also died of uh, you know, overdose of painkillers.
• 55:05
  SPEAKER_10: Well, did he write the song?
• 55:06
  SPEAKER_10: No.
• 55:08
  SPEAKER_10: We all know how John Lennon died, but it was more important.
• 55:12
  SPEAKER_10: This dude, I don't even know this dude.
• 55:16
  SPEAKER_10: He has nothing, he did write the song.
• 55:20
  SPEAKER_10: I mean, I suppose he had something to do with it.
• 55:22
  SPEAKER_10: I mean, he's like, uh, your songs suck.
• 55:25
  SPEAKER_10: You better write something better.
• 55:26
  SPEAKER_10: So John was like, well, screw you, I'm gonna write something better.
• 55:29
  SPEAKER_10: And he did, and the guy was like, Oh, he did! Ah, my heart! You know, you should have written that book.
• 55:36
  SPEAKER_10: It'd be a terrible book.
• 55:38
  SPEAKER_10: Nobody would ever have it.
• 55:40
  SPEAKER_10: It would be it would be about it'd be about like six pages.
• 55:46
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, Paul wrote this song, it's really good.
• 55:49
  SPEAKER_10: John wrote this song, it's really good.
• 55:52
  SPEAKER_10: Ringo wrote this song, it's not very good.
• 55:58
  SPEAKER_04: Uh alright.
• 56:00
  SPEAKER_04: I have an album.
• 56:01
  SPEAKER_04: I have climbed the wall, I have an album.
• 56:03
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah.
• 56:03
  SPEAKER_10: Sometimes I forget.
• 56:04
  SPEAKER_10: I get going and I just forget what we're doing.
• 56:06
  SPEAKER_04: So um let the guessing begin.
• 56:08
  SPEAKER_04: Is it a band?
• 56:09
  SPEAKER_10: It is a band.
• 56:10
  SPEAKER_10: Alright.
• 56:11
  SPEAKER_10: Um Beastie Boys.
• 56:15
  SPEAKER_04: No.
• 56:40
  SPEAKER_10: Which one?
• 56:44
  SPEAKER_04: Just go from F backwards.
• 56:46
  SPEAKER_10: Okay, extreme.
• 56:51
  SPEAKER_10: What am I doing?
• 56:51
  SPEAKER_10: Taking a friggin' field sobriety test?
• 56:57
  SPEAKER_10: W seven D Oh D.
• 57:05
  SPEAKER_10: Does it be it must begin with D.

  SPEAKER_09: No.
• 57:08
  SPEAKER_10: C?
• 57:08
  SPEAKER_10: Oh, oh C okay, it's a C band.
• 57:11
  SPEAKER_10: C band.
• 57:14
  SPEAKER_10: Video dog.
• 57:15
  SPEAKER_10: I see you pointing at me.
• 57:16
  SPEAKER_10: Jerker.
• 57:21
  SPEAKER_10: Who's that guy?
• 57:23
  SPEAKER_10: Uh so height of popularity of the C band.
• 57:29
  SPEAKER_04: Uh I would say honestly, the height of popularity is probably the eighties.
• 57:42
  SPEAKER_10: Any virtual man?
• 57:44
  SPEAKER_04: Um I think there was a four Chicago.
• 58:39
  SPEAKER_04: Yes.
• 58:39
  SPEAKER_04: Um the album that I've chosen is Chicago twenty-one.
• 58:46
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, so this this is kind of a controversial is not the word.
• 58:54
  SPEAKER_04: When David Foster came into the picture around Chicago 16, something like that.
• 59:01
  SPEAKER_04: They went a different direction.
• 59:03
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
• 59:04
  SPEAKER_04: Because they were they were a rock jazz fusion horn band in the 70s.
• 59:12
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 59:13
  SPEAKER_04: And even early 80s, actually.
• 59:15
  SPEAKER_04: And then David Foster came in, and uh, you know, m much to his credit, he he made them superstars.
• 59:22
  SPEAKER_11: Oh yeah.
• 59:23
  SPEAKER_04: Uh Chicago 16, Chicago 17, which is like their big their biggest album.
• 59:27
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 59:27
  SPEAKER_04: Chicago 18 after Peter Sotera left, Jason Chef came in.
• 59:31
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 59:31
  SPEAKER_04: Uh and then they had Chicago 19, uh, which was also another pop album.
• 59:36
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 59:37
  SPEAKER_04: And the reason I say it's uh like a controversial, uh, is because the band uh didn't really like those albums.
• 59:45
  SPEAKER_09: Right.
• 59:46
  SPEAKER_04: They didn't like that direction.
• 59:47
  SPEAKER_09: Right.
• 59:48
  SPEAKER_04: Because they were a horn band.
• 59:51
  SPEAKER_04: They were a they were a rock and roll band with horns that played a lot of jazz and and things like that.
• 59:58
  SPEAKER_04: And that was their origin.
• 1:00:01
  SPEAKER_04: And they kind of had to it's career-wise, they kind of had to keep up that pop thing.
• 1:00:08
  SPEAKER_04: Right.
• 1:00:08
  SPEAKER_04: Because they had momentum.
• 1:00:09
  SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah.
• 1:00:10
  SPEAKER_04: So this was on the the latter end of that run.
• 1:00:16
  SPEAKER_04: So you had Chicago 16, which had like which still had Sotera, it had Love Me Tomorrow, Love Me Tomorrow.
• 1:00:23
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 1:00:23
  SPEAKER_04: Very pop.
• 1:00:24
  SPEAKER_04: Hard to say I'm sorry, I think was on Chicago 16.
• 1:00:27
  SPEAKER_04: Chicago 17 had the big hit Stay the Night.
• 1:00:30
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 1:00:30
  SPEAKER_04: You're the Inspiration.
• 1:00:32
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 1:00:32
  SPEAKER_04: Um Chicago 18 had If She Would have Been Faithful, Will You Still Love Me?
• 1:00:37
  SPEAKER_04: Um Terrible Remake of 25 or 64.
• 1:00:42
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 1:00:43
  SPEAKER_04: Um, and then Chicago 19 had Look Away, uh, What Kind of Man Would I Be?
• 1:00:48
  SPEAKER_04: These were all big hits for Chicago.
• 1:00:50
  SPEAKER_04: And then they released a greatest hits album, which they considered Chicago 20.
• 1:00:56
  SPEAKER_04: Right.
• 1:00:57
  SPEAKER_04: Which I don't think it really was.
• 1:00:58
  SPEAKER_04: Not really.
• 1:00:59
  SPEAKER_04: I think there was a couple of new songs on it, but they consider that Chicago 20.
• 1:01:02
  SPEAKER_04: Then they came out with Chicago 21.
• 1:01:04
  SPEAKER_04: Now, they're still in that pop uh rock phase.
• 1:01:12
  SPEAKER_04: And the two songs that were really kind of released from this album had nothing to do with the band.
• 1:01:20
  SPEAKER_04: They were written by pop songstress Diane Warren, who was a huge hitmaker in the 80s and and 90s.
• 1:01:29
  SPEAKER_04: Probably still is.
• 1:01:31

• 1:02:56
  SPEAKER_18: If you ever felt anything.
• 1:02:58
  SPEAKER_04: But again, it must be, as a as an artist, it must be just like kind of Demeaning is not the word, but like we can't do this on our own, so the record company wants us to.
• 1:03:10
  SPEAKER_10: Well, maybe it's kind of emasculating.
• 1:03:12
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that's what I mean.
• 1:03:13
  SPEAKER_10: You know, uh, you know, it's just like well, we've been writing songs for you know 30 years.
• 1:03:18
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.

  SPEAKER_04: Um Chicago 17, they had You're the Inspiration, Hard Habit to Break.
• 1:03:50
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
• 1:03:50
  SPEAKER_04: Um ballads were their thing.
• 1:03:53
  SPEAKER_11: Oh yeah.
• 1:03:53
  SPEAKER_04: But okay, so those are the only two I wanted to play from that one.
• 1:03:57
  SPEAKER_04: So the but this song, I just love this horn part.
• 1:04:01
  SPEAKER_04: There, I I think there's one or two songs on the on each album in that in that time period that they just kind of screw it, we're gonna do a horn song.
• 1:04:10
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
• 1:04:10
  SPEAKER_04: Although this this is a horn song, but it's still very pop, and uh, but I love it.
• 1:04:15
  SPEAKER_04: God save the queen.
• 1:04:32
  SPEAKER_02: It's still very late eighties, early nineties.
• 1:05:26
  SPEAKER_04: Um you may be asking why I still have this album.
• 1:05:40
  SPEAKER_04: Well, I love Chicago.
• 1:05:42
  SPEAKER_09: Well, yeah.
• 1:05:43
  SPEAKER_04: Um, I really do.
• 1:05:43
  SPEAKER_04: Uh the guitar player in this one was not given um a fair shake, Dwayne Bailey.
• 1:05:49
  SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah.
• 1:05:50
  SPEAKER_04: I think he was on uh he was on two albums.
• 1:05:52
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I was well saying then they and then they just kind of said, Oh, we need somebody else.
• 1:05:56
  SPEAKER_04: Bye bye.
• 1:05:57
  SPEAKER_04: Uh and they have a habit of doing that actually.
• 1:05:59
  SPEAKER_04: Um Unfortunately.
• 1:06:00
  SPEAKER_10: Well, yeah.
• 1:06:00
  SPEAKER_10: I mean, guitar players in Chicago are like the drummers in spinal tap.
• 1:06:03
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 1:06:04
  SPEAKER_10: They just keep disappearing, you know.
• 1:06:06
  SPEAKER_04: So yeah, I do.
• 1:06:07
  SPEAKER_04: Um okay, so that's it.
• 1:06:10
  SPEAKER_04: That is the album of the week, Chicago 21.
• 1:06:13
  SPEAKER_04: Um, and I did want to mention something that uh I'm considering doing, and you I know you saw my post.
• 1:06:19
  SPEAKER_04: Um and I'm only doing this because I'm not getting any younger, and I think it's a cool idea.
• 1:06:27
  SPEAKER_04: Uh, and I've already had a few people reach out to me.
• 1:06:30
  SPEAKER_04: Um, let me tell you the idea first.
• 1:06:33
  SPEAKER_04: So you've heard of the Bluebird Cafe?
• 1:06:35
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 1:06:36
  SPEAKER_04: In Nashville.
• 1:06:36
  SPEAKER_04: The way the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville works is well, a couple of different things.
• 1:06:41
  SPEAKER_04: Um on a on they have a Sunday uh amateur writers' night, and you can audition uh at the beginning uh during the week.
• 1:06:49
  SPEAKER_04: They have they hold auditions and songwriters from all over Nashville, young and old, want to want to play on a Sunday night.
• 1:06:56
  SPEAKER_04: And so they'll audition.
• 1:06:58
  SPEAKER_04: Uh I think if there's one or two nights a week that they hold auditions, and then they pick people to come and and play their songs on on a Sunday night.
• 1:07:06
  SPEAKER_04: That's one aspect.
• 1:07:07
  SPEAKER_04: The other aspect is the Bluebird always has these what they call guitar pulls or or song pulls, and you'll have these um hit songwriters, not always hit songwriters, sometimes they're amateur songwriters, but they don't have more than three or four of them at one time, and they kind of sit in a circle, and they'll play one of their songs on an acoustic guitar or a keyboard, and then the next songwriter will play one of their songs, and then the next songwriter will play one of their th songs, and they just go around and they play, you know, depending on how how long the the show is, right?
• 1:07:44
  SPEAKER_04: They play three or four songs of their own.
• 1:07:46
  SPEAKER_04: Um, and maybe they'll do cover songs, you know, whatever.
• 1:07:49
  SPEAKER_04: And they have an audience there, and you can get food and and all this stuff, and it's an evening of entertainment, and it's so my idea because the Rootsett County is not known for songwriters.
• 1:08:02
  SPEAKER_04: Or i i i it I mean, if there are any out there, and I know there are, there's no place to showcase that.
• 1:08:10
  SPEAKER_10: No.
• 1:08:10
  SPEAKER_10: There's no place for original music.
• 1:08:12
  SPEAKER_04: No, no.
• 1:08:13
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, we we do one every once in a while when we play live.
• 1:08:15
  SPEAKER_04: We'll throw in a couple of our own in uh because nobody listens to us anyway.
• 1:08:19
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 1:08:20
  SPEAKER_04: Um I'm well aware.
• 1:08:23
  SPEAKER_04: So uh my idea was to have something like that and to start it off slow, like start it off with just getting a few writers together in one room, no audience, yeah, just a few writers, and kind of do that.
• 1:08:40
  SPEAKER_04: Kind of play three or four songs of our own.
• 1:08:43
  SPEAKER_04: Uh maybe it lasts an hour, hour and a half, two hours, whatever.
• 1:08:48
  SPEAKER_04: And do that a couple months.
• 1:08:51
  SPEAKER_04: And depending on where we get together, like if we had a venue, if we had to rent a room, each songwriter would put in some money to rent the room.
• 1:09:01
  SPEAKER_04: Uh just to defray the cost.
• 1:09:04
  SPEAKER_04: Um and then we would find a venue and we could have a writer's night with three or four writers, advertise it, invite the public, um charge a small admission fee, uh, and w w after the haul after the venue is paid for, um, then the rest of the money would go to an agreed upon um charity for that m that month.
• 1:09:37
  SPEAKER_04: And maybe we could do it once a month at a at whatever venue.
• 1:09:42
  SPEAKER_04: And um I think it would be cool because I I think in my post it says it'll do a couple of things.
• 1:09:49
  SPEAKER_04: It will encourage songwriters to keep writing so that they always have something new to play to showcase and honing their craft.
• 1:09:58
  SPEAKER_04: I'm maybe I'm being selfish here, but I'm talking about myself too.
• 1:10:02
  SPEAKER_04: Um it would give I mean, there's not a lot to do around here.
• 1:10:06
  SPEAKER_04: What?
• 1:10:08
  SPEAKER_04: You're silly.
• 1:10:10
  SPEAKER_04: So it would be an hour to two hours worth of entertainment um for people that like that kind of thing.
• 1:10:19
  SPEAKER_04: Um date night, whatever.
• 1:10:22
  SPEAKER_04: Um, and it would potentially help a local charity.
• 1:10:29
  SPEAKER_04: So I think it's a win-win-win.
• 1:10:32
  SPEAKER_04: Um and I've already had uh two venues reach out to me.
• 1:10:36
  SPEAKER_04: They saw the post.
• 1:10:38
  SPEAKER_04: So I have uh for the first two months, you know how I said it was just gonna be the couple writers or three or four writers.
• 1:10:44
  SPEAKER_04: Um I've had a uh someone who has a room um say, I'll charge you five bucks, each writer five bucks.
• 1:10:52
  SPEAKER_04: And uh you can use it, you know, until you get ramped up.
• 1:10:57
  SPEAKER_04: Then I had a venue reach out to me.
• 1:10:59
  SPEAKER_04: I love this idea, they said.
• 1:11:01
  SPEAKER_04: Um uh we would love to have it here.
• 1:11:07
  SPEAKER_04: And I said, Well, how much does it cost to rent?
• 1:11:09
  SPEAKER_04: And they said, We can we can work it out so that it falls in line with your post.
• 1:11:14
  SPEAKER_04: Which I said in my post, I was like, each writer, if there's four writers, twenty-five bucks each.
• 1:11:20
  SPEAKER_04: You know, so but she says we can be creative.
• 1:11:24
  SPEAKER_04: So that's exciting.
• 1:11:26
  SPEAKER_04: Um the next step is to get some writers because you know, obviously I'll be there.
• 1:11:33
  SPEAKER_04: Right.
• 1:11:34
  SPEAKER_04: Um I would hope that you would kind of participate in some fashion.
• 1:11:38
  SPEAKER_04: No.
• 1:11:39
  SPEAKER_04: Whatever.
• 1:11:39
  SPEAKER_04: I don't want I don't want any part of your stupid idea.
• 1:11:43
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, speaking of uh you and writing, I did find I did find Story in my head.
• 1:11:54
  SPEAKER_11: Oh, wow.
• 1:11:55
  SPEAKER_04: On a cassette somewhere.
• 1:11:56
  SPEAKER_10: Holy crap.
• 1:11:57
  SPEAKER_04: Uh there's a song I haven't done long enough.
• 1:11:59
  SPEAKER_04: Where was I listening?
• 1:12:01
  SPEAKER_04: Where was I listening to that?
• 1:12:03
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, uh we found a Walkman.
• 1:12:06
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, jeez.
• 1:12:06
  SPEAKER_04: A cassette Walkman.
• 1:12:08
  SPEAKER_04: And I put I put a cassette in, I was like, this is Doug's song.
• 1:12:14
  SPEAKER_04: Um but I need some writers to reach out to me.
• 1:12:18
  SPEAKER_04: Right.
• 1:12:18
  SPEAKER_04: So to reach out to me and have three or four songs that they could play of their own.
• 1:12:24
  SPEAKER_04: Um I don't care how long.
• 1:12:25
  SPEAKER_04: I don't care what what you know what style.
• 1:12:28
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, uh ideally it's gonna be something you could play on an acoustic guitar or on a piano.
• 1:12:32
  SPEAKER_04: Right.
• 1:12:33
  SPEAKER_04: Um and if I can get this going, I'd like to I'd like to have it pretty regularly, at least through because it's summer is hard.
• 1:12:42
  SPEAKER_04: Well, I was about to say don't start it in summer, don't you?
• 1:12:43
  SPEAKER_04: No, no, it's a good thing.
• 1:12:44
  SPEAKER_04: And I've already even the lady from that reached out from the venue, um, she said we ramp up in the fall because yeah, everybody's gone during the summer.
• 1:12:51
  SPEAKER_04: Right.
• 1:12:51
  SPEAKER_04: Which I get.
• 1:12:52
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 1:12:52
  SPEAKER_04: And I wasn't planning on doing it right away anyway.
• 1:12:55
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 1:12:55
  SPEAKER_04: I just think it's a cool idea.
• 1:12:56
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 1:12:57
  SPEAKER_04: And I think we can we can um serve a lot of different purposes doing it.
• 1:13:03
  SPEAKER_04: So I don't know what to call it.
• 1:13:06
  SPEAKER_04: Um like county song show song showcase or that's that's too official.
• 1:13:12
  SPEAKER_09: We need it, we need a cool you need a cool name.
• 1:13:14
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it'll come to you.
• 1:13:15
  SPEAKER_04: Speaking of cool names, have you thought about our name?
• 1:13:19
  SPEAKER_04: What we're gonna do at all?
• 1:13:22
  SPEAKER_04: Maybe we should put this out there.
• 1:13:24
  SPEAKER_04: I don't want to change our name though, because and I told my wife about this, and my wife is a marketing genius.
• 1:13:30
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 1:13:31
  SPEAKER_04: And she's like, because I said, if we if we came up with a new name, we'd just confuse people.
• 1:13:36
  SPEAKER_04: She said, Yes, you would.
• 1:13:38
  SPEAKER_10: No, she's right.
• 1:13:39
  SPEAKER_04: So uh we either keep using Comic Crossing Duo when we say I don't like it.
• 1:13:44
  SPEAKER_04: I don't either.
• 1:13:45
  SPEAKER_04: A it's too long.
• 1:13:46
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 1:13:47
  SPEAKER_04: And and we had established I mean, there's more words than people in the bank.
• 1:13:51
  SPEAKER_04: Right.
• 1:13:51
  SPEAKER_04: You know what I mean?
• 1:13:52
  SPEAKER_04: Right.
• 1:13:53
  SPEAKER_04: We had established not officially, and hopefully Shane will not reach out to us and say, What the heck are you talking about?
• 1:14:00
  SPEAKER_04: Comet Crossing hasn't played in a number of years.
• 1:14:04
  SPEAKER_04: Couple years anyway.
• 1:14:05
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:14:05
  SPEAKER_04: I don't foresee us playing anytime in the the near future.
• 1:14:09
  SPEAKER_10: Nobody's nobody's reaching out for us.
• 1:14:11
  SPEAKER_10: Nope.
• 1:14:12
  SPEAKER_10: So um nobody's asking for us.
• 1:14:14
  SPEAKER_04: And Shane's busy.
• 1:14:14
  SPEAKER_04: Shane's, you know.
• 1:14:15
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I'm sure Shane will come up if we asked him to.
• 1:14:17
  SPEAKER_04: He's already.
• 1:14:19
  SPEAKER_04: But but we're not itching to get out get that three-piece out there uh anytime soon.
• 1:14:24
  SPEAKER_10: If we do something original, if we do an album, well yeah, so I don't want to which we have plenty of material for.
• 1:14:30
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, we do.
• 1:14:31
  SPEAKER_04: I don't want to I don't want to put the kibosh on Comic Crossing.
• 1:14:35
  SPEAKER_10: But Well I want to go back to what it originally was, was just us doing our songs.
• 1:14:41
  SPEAKER_04: Right.
• 1:14:41
  SPEAKER_10: You know.
• 1:14:42
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 1:14:42
  SPEAKER_10: That's what I want to come across.
• 1:14:44
  SPEAKER_10: Same.
• 1:14:44
  SPEAKER_10: Same.
• 1:14:45
  SPEAKER_10: Instead of being the bar band and going out and playing covers, yes, play original stuff.
• 1:14:50
  SPEAKER_02: I agree.
• 1:14:50
  SPEAKER_10: That's what I want it to be.
• 1:14:52
  SPEAKER_04: But I think using Comic Crossing duo is confusing.
• 1:14:55
  SPEAKER_04: Um, especially when the venues sometimes you know, they advertise for us, they say Comet Crossing is playing.
• 1:15:01
  SPEAKER_03: No, no, we're not.
• 1:15:03
  SPEAKER_04: It's just the two of us.
• 1:15:04
  SPEAKER_04: Um there was an option to use the name of this podcast, O'Brien and Doug.
• 1:15:11
  SPEAKER_04: Um, which has its benefits, I guess.
• 1:15:16
  SPEAKER_04: Um so I don't know what the answer is.
• 1:15:19
  SPEAKER_04: I don't want to come up with a new name.
• 1:15:21
  SPEAKER_04: OBD.

  SPEAKER_04: So I don't know.
• 1:15:39
  SPEAKER_10: Well, it'll be a good it'd be a good fresh start.
