• 11:02
  SPEAKER_01: So while I'm happy that Bon Jovi has a new album coming out because people aren't really doing albums anymore, um, they have a new album coming out, and I do have sympathy for what John's going through with his vocal cords and everything, and the fact that he may not even tour again if if his voice doesn't recover.
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_01: Um, the fact that they were able to churn out an album uh with whatever help technologically that they had.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I think it's cool.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_01: And and I'm glad he's still writing songs and he still has it.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_01: Um it's just yeah.

  SPEAKER_01: I wanted something more.

  SPEAKER_01: Change it up a little bit.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_05: Just a tad.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I I suppose you have to kind of, you know, give somebody something more f that's that's familiar, you know, so that they they have a sound, you know.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_05: Well, yeah, you want a you want a signature sound, but right it shouldn't sound the same all the time.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_01: You know, because I agree.

  SPEAKER_01: Well, I mean, like, New Jersey didn't sound like Slippery When Wet.

  SPEAKER_01: Bring it, Larry.
• 31:38
  SPEAKER_12: See what you got, man.
• 31:41
  SPEAKER_01: It's interesting because I did have one other thing to talk about today, and a lot of the we have a couple other things to talk about today, and a lot of the things that I wanted to talk about were in our choices for that first question.
• 31:54
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, well, there you go.
• 31:56
  SPEAKER_01: Um, because, and I'll tell you why, because um there's an article on Ultimate Classic Rock about Randy Bachman and his first band, the Guess Who.
• 32:07
  SPEAKER_01: First uh signed band, I guess, the Guess Who's.
• 32:10
  SPEAKER_01: He's Canadian.
• 32:11
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 32:11
  SPEAKER_01: Uh the band is Canadian.
• 32:12
  SPEAKER_05: We don't hold that against him.
• 32:13
  SPEAKER_01: Right, they don't.
• 32:14
  SPEAKER_01: Um it's okay, eh?
• 32:17
  SPEAKER_01: Of course, he uh and you know the guess who.
• 32:20
  SPEAKER_01: Hold on, let me uh because I've got I've got the technology right here.
• 32:23
  SPEAKER_01: Um The Guess Who had uh m massive uh success in the 60s.
• 32:29
  SPEAKER_01: Um do I have the guess who in here?
• 32:33
  SPEAKER_05: I don't know, do you?
• 32:34
  SPEAKER_01: I don't.
• 32:35
  SPEAKER_01: Oh crap.
• 32:36
  SPEAKER_01: I have it, but I don't know where it is.
• 32:38
  SPEAKER_01: I have it, but I don't know where it is.
• 32:40
  SPEAKER_01: Uh let's see.
• 32:42
  SPEAKER_01: Guess who knows?
• 32:48
  SPEAKER_01: The guess who, sorry.
• 32:49
  SPEAKER_01: The guess who.
• 32:51
  SPEAKER_01: There we go.
• 32:51
  SPEAKER_01: So this is this is one of their biggest.
• 32:54
  SPEAKER_01: Uh you would recognize this one.
• 32:57
  SPEAKER_01: Uh no, that's a commercial.
• 32:59
  SPEAKER_01: Um anyway, uh, he started a band in the 60s and wrote and played guitar for said band.
• 33:06
  SPEAKER_01: And they had massive hits.
• 33:11
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, so Burton Cummings is the lead singer.
• 33:14
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 33:15
  SPEAKER_01: And he's in a battle right now right now because the reason I bring it up also because Little we were just talking about Little River Band, right?
• 33:26
  SPEAKER_01: Cool change.
• 33:27
  SPEAKER_01: Same thing is happening, sort of, to Little River Band.
• 33:32
  SPEAKER_01: To a degree um foreigner.
• 33:36
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, and and actually it happens a lot.
• 33:39
  SPEAKER_01: There's either one or no original members left in the band.
• 33:47
  SPEAKER_01: At which point you would think it becomes a tribute band.
• 33:50
  SPEAKER_01: Right?
• 33:51
  SPEAKER_01: We've talked about this a little bit before.
• 33:52
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 33:53
  SPEAKER_01: But uh Burton Cummings did something bold uh and actually kind of is not in his best interest, but he did it on principle.
• 34:08
  SPEAKER_01: So here's here's what's happening.
• 34:09
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 34:10
  SPEAKER_01: So according to the article, um, they of course Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings, they they they wrote a lot of hits.
• 34:18
  SPEAKER_01: No time.
• 34:18
  SPEAKER_01: American Woman.
• 34:19
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 34:20
  SPEAKER_01: You know the song American Woman.
• 34:21
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 34:21
  SPEAKER_01: Um Bachman left in 1970 to form Bachman Turner Overdrive, and then the Guess Who split up in 1975.
• 34:28
  SPEAKER_01: Now they've they've gotten together and they have done Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman have done like some Guess Who reunion shows here and there over the years.
• 34:37
  SPEAKER_01: Uh original bassist Jim Cale obtained the rights to the name and was soon joined by fellow co-founder Gary Peterson on drums.
• 34:46
  SPEAKER_01: Well, Kale retired in 2016.
• 34:50
  SPEAKER_01: Uh and so Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings uh filed a lawsuit last year.
• 34:55
  SPEAKER_01: Uh Peterson doesn't appear at every guess who concert.
• 34:59
  SPEAKER_01: So the one remaining original member doesn't even go to the shows.
• 35:04
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 35:04
  SPEAKER_01: On every every every show.
• 35:06
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 35:06
  SPEAKER_01: Um, leaving the lineup without any core members.
• 35:09
  SPEAKER_01: Uh at the same time, Bachman and Cummings said some of the group's promotional material featured their images.
• 35:16
  SPEAKER_01: So it's like a picture of Randy Bachman, like you're playing here.
• 35:20
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 35:20
  SPEAKER_01: And they found this out on social media and on YouTube because their their fans would should like take pictures of them with their phone of the posters and everything, the promotional materials, with their phones, and they'd send them to Randy Bachman.
• 35:34
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 35:35
  SPEAKER_01: And it it's Randy Bachman's face, and he's like, I'm not playing there.
• 35:39
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 35:39
  SPEAKER_01: But they're using it to promote the guess who.
• 35:41
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 35:42
  SPEAKER_01: And so uh they uh Burton Cummings took took took legal action um and it was pretty unprecedented, actually.
• 35:54
  SPEAKER_01: He terminated the rights agreements to all the guess who songs that he was a part of.
• 36:01
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 36:02
  SPEAKER_01: Um so that band, the guess who that's out touring, can't play any guess who songs because um they're forced to cancel a string of scheduled concerts.
• 36:20
  SPEAKER_01: Uh if if he hadn't done that, they would have been able to continue on.
• 36:24
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 36:25
  SPEAKER_01: Um and I mentioned the Little River Band.
• 36:28
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, of course, doing that, he's he's cutting off a source of income.
• 36:33
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 36:34
  SPEAKER_01: You know, by by so even if he performs those songs, I mean he wrote them, even if he performs them, he can't make money from performance rights.
• 36:42
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 36:42
  SPEAKER_01: On those songs because he stopped the performance rights agreement agreement.
• 36:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 36:47
  SPEAKER_01: And so um Little River Band.
• 36:53
  SPEAKER_01: Uh let's see, uh Positive Impact on Bands and similar situations, like Little River Band.
• 36:59
  SPEAKER_01: So uh I'm trying to scam uh not scam.
• 37:05
  SPEAKER_01: Uh skim here.
• 37:06
  SPEAKER_01: Graham Gobel, Glenn Sherrock, and Beebe Bertles co-founded Little River Band in the mid-70s, but eventually drifted out of its lineup, then lost control of the trademark.
• 37:15
  SPEAKER_01: They can't even play as Little River Band, and that's totally unfair, Randy Bachman says.
• 37:19
  SPEAKER_01: Little River Band is now led by Wayne Nelson, who joined in time to sing on Little River Band's early 80s hits, The Nine Owls, Take It Easy On Me, and uh so on and so forth.
• 37:30
  SPEAKER_01: Um so the two original members, they can't go out as Little River Band.
• 37:36
  SPEAKER_01: They have to change their name to Sharon Bertles and Goebbels.
• 37:40
  SPEAKER_01: Sorry, three original members.
• 37:41
  SPEAKER_01: Um so and he doesn't even think Lenny Kravitz, because Burton Cummings did that, he doesn't think Lenny Kravitz can perform American Woman anymore.
• 37:50
  SPEAKER_01: Because the performance rights agreement is right is null.
• 37:53
  SPEAKER_01: Uh but he wanted Burton Cummings wanted to stop them from using the name Guess Who?
• 38:00
  SPEAKER_05: The gu the guess who kind of the nuclear option, but it worked.
• 38:02
  SPEAKER_01: And when it's talking about foreigner, um, foreigner, although the members of that band now have been foreigner for like twenty-five years, something like that.
• 38:16
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Jeff Pilson and all this.
• 38:18
  SPEAKER_01: Mick Jones doesn't, he's the only original member, and he doesn't perform at every concert.
• 38:23
  SPEAKER_01: Right because of his health.
• 38:24
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 38:25
  SPEAKER_01: So essentially, even though they've been around for 25 years, they're a tribute band.
• 38:32
  SPEAKER_01: Basically, I mean they have they have an uh an album that they put out as a as a band, one album.
• 38:38
  SPEAKER_01: But I don't think they play much of it.
• 38:39
  SPEAKER_01: They play the hits.
• 38:40
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 38:41
  SPEAKER_01: So I just think it's interesting, and then the KISS retired, right?
• 38:46
  SPEAKER_01: And the KISS is talking about having uh their legacy go on with what is it?
• 38:54
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I don't know, it's not AI, but uh holograms.
• 38:58
  SPEAKER_01: Holograms, yeah, holograms.
• 39:00
  SPEAKER_01: So, I mean I just what do you think about that?
• 39:02
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, it's it's a interesting that was a pretty you know, bold move for Burton Cummings to take.
• 39:08
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 39:08
  SPEAKER_01: Uh cut off his own income just so he can stop this band.
• 39:12
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, it's pretty drastic.
• 39:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 39:14
  SPEAKER_01: So what's your take on that?
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, do you do you have anything?
• 39:18
  SPEAKER_05: I don't know.
• 39:19
  SPEAKER_05: What do you what are you gonna do?
• 39:20
  SPEAKER_05: You know?
• 39:21
  SPEAKER_05: Right.
• 39:21
  SPEAKER_05: It's like, hey, you're you're trying to make money off of my case.
• 39:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 39:26
  SPEAKER_05: And I'm not even part of it, so you know, screw you guys.
• 39:30
  SPEAKER_05: Wouldn't he though?
• 39:31
  SPEAKER_01: Wouldn't he be like like if he's 'cause he's maybe maybe when he got done with the band, maybe he gave up his rights to the band.
• 39:40
  SPEAKER_05: Like I doubt that.
• 39:42
  SPEAKER_01: Well, you know, like when uh when they got back together with Mike Anthony and Sammy Hagar in 2004, Van Halen.
• 39:48
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 39:48
  SPEAKER_01: Uh they made Mike Anthony sign away all of his rights to the the name and and and the the stuff that he did with the band.
• 39:57
  SPEAKER_01: Like it like he never happened.
• 39:59
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 39:59
  SPEAKER_01: You know, and he did it just because he wanted to go back out.
• 40:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you know.
• 40:03
  SPEAKER_01: So I don't know.
• 40:05
  SPEAKER_01: I just I it's such a kind of a dirty business.
• 40:08
  SPEAKER_05: Well it's a dick move, but yeah.
• 40:10
  SPEAKER_05: I I don't know.
• 40:11
  SPEAKER_05: I mean, you know.
• 40:13
  SPEAKER_05: I mean if if that's what you gotta do, I suppose.
• 40:17
  SPEAKER_05: I don't know.
• 40:18
  SPEAKER_05: He's what seventies I think?
• 40:20
  SPEAKER_01: Which one?
• 40:21

  SPEAKER_01: He didn't want to do that.
• 44:09
  SPEAKER_01: He wanted it to be something clever and mind provoking, he said.
• 44:13
  SPEAKER_01: But he couldn't really think of anything.
• 44:16
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I couldn't really think of anything because you know I have a problem provoking my own mind.
• 44:21
  SPEAKER_01: So they decided to call it uh What a Fool Believes.
• 44:24
  SPEAKER_01: He said, let's see, about Yacht Rock.
• 44:28
  SPEAKER_01: Because he is basically the king, the face of Yacht Rock.

• 44:55
  SPEAKER_01: And it's true.
• 44:56
  SPEAKER_05: It is really true.
• 44:57
  SPEAKER_01: It's true.
• 44:57
  SPEAKER_01: If we didn't have not Yacht Rock, you probably wouldn't hear a lot of Michael McDonald.
• 45:00

• 45:01
  SPEAKER_01: It's true.
• 45:02
  SPEAKER_01: Let's see.
• 45:03
  SPEAKER_01: And Paul Riser said he had been surprised at some of the stories of rock and roll excess that McDonald had kept to himself over the years.
• 45:11
  SPEAKER_01: Because Paul Riser and Michael McDonald have been friends for a while.
• 45:13
  SPEAKER_06: Right.
• 45:14
  SPEAKER_01: Referring to a Steely Dan party in a hotel penthouse in London.

  SPEAKER_01: He said singing is such an intimate act.
• 45:34
  SPEAKER_01: It's like kissing.

• 45:47
  SPEAKER_01: That's where the title comes from.
• 45:48
  SPEAKER_01: To this day, I keep expecting the doors to fly open and the imposter police to come and grab me and take me out.
