  Speaker 1: For the first time in my very long life in
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Laguna Beach. I came when I was in ninth grade,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: which was a long time ago, and it was the
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: first time I saw so much kind of divisiveness and
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: animosity and people talking about how much Laguna had changed
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: and how bad it was now and and it just
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: struck me as being so not Laguna, you know. And
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: I call the column it's so Laguna because you know,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: when a lot of things happen in town, or you know,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: you'll see certain things or have experiences and people locals
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: will say, oh, it's just so Laguna. And there is something,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: there's an essence of this place. There's something in the
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: dna of this town that is so Laguna. And it
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: will never change. I have one hundred percent security in
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: saying that in confidence and saying that it's you know,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: a magical I call it a magical enchanted place. Yeah,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: it will, you know what's magical and enchanted. I don't
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: think will ever change. I don't think people will ever
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: let it change. And you know, it is changing. It's
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: very different than you know when I came here in
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventy two or whatever it was. And but that's Okay.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: You know, there's some things have changed for the better
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: and nothing. There is no permanence in any aspect of
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: life on this planet.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: So it's just the way it is. But what's great about.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Laguna, it's wonderful about Laguna has not changed one iota
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: For me.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: I love hearing that.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: You know, you can be for preservation and progress at
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: the same time, they're not mutually exclusive. Well said, And
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: I feel like sometimes people draw a line in the
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: sand you're either pro resident or pro visitor. No, you
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: can be both. You know, this is a town that
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: makes its money on tourism. It's just a matter of
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: we're a little over touristed. But where isn't now you
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: heard what happened this summer in Barcelona and Venice, and
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: oh yeah.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: There's I mean, we've got a pretty good compared to
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: other places of equal beauty, right, I mean, you know
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the thing that I've always said is, you know, we're
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: here because we love it and it's so beautiful and special,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: and why can other people experience that?
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Like why is it just for us?
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: You know, like if something's beautiful, other people want to
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: experience that beauty too, And it's you know, it's it's
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: not something that we can lock up.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you can imagine, you know, just east of
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: here by a few miles, we have tremendous amounts of
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: housing developments in South Orange County. Plus we have Riverside
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: And when it's one hundred and ten degrees there thanks
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: to climate change, where are they going to go for relief?
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Straight west?
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: They get over here and it's seventy five degrees in
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: the ocean school, Who wouldn't want to come here? And
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: we need to welcome Yeah, I agree, But along with
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: that comes problems because this city wasn't designed for the
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: amount of cars coursing through here. But it's you know,
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: some one like yourself has perspective because you spend part
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: of the week in Los Angeles, and so I think
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: sometimes people forget that our traffic problems not only are
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: they not exclusive to us, but in some ways they're
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: more benign than other places totally.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's the big I read.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: It's the number one reason that people leave LA is
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the traffic, and the number one reason people leave Florida
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: is the bugs.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: So we don't have bugs.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: We used to have bugs, But yeah, the traffic in
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: LA is insane and much worse.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Than your you know.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Now, you told me when you were on the show,
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: and this was a few years back, that your staff loves.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: It when you leave for Laguna.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I forgot about that.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: Yeast Usually yeah, here Tuesday whent or there tuesdays.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I love to spend the weekend here, and yeah,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: it's just a touchstone for me, you know of it's
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: just kind of a sanctuary.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: And probably good for you to get out of the
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: noise of the entertainment business too.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, absolutely, there's you know, I have such long,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: long time friends here and I just think, you know,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the connection to nature here where pretty much the first
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: thing anybody says when you bump into them here is like, oh,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: what a gorgeous day, or oh it's cooler than yesterday.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Or there's waves.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: There's no waves. O, there's white caps, so there's I
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: saw some dolphins. Like It's just a really big part
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: of the experience here is nature, yeah, or the hiking
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: or whatever. It's just we're much closer to that and
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: that really balances my nervous system.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: And you as a producer of some very well known films,
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: I'm sure sometimes people you have to be a little
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: wary of their intentions because everybody wants something in LA
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: and here nobody cares, right, Yeah.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I mean I think it's more, you know, people don't
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: really know or yeah, they're not that impressed.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Right now.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: If I had one, you know, the senior surf contest.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: Maybe then you'd be then you couldn't you know, then
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: you'd get the best table at every restaurant, right. Yeah,
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: But tell us just a little bit about the state
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: of the industry. We don't want to dwell on that
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: because we're here to talk about Laguna, but you know,
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: we know that a few years ago, I guess it
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: was the golden age of streaming and there was an
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: unending appetite for content, and then the pandemic hit and
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: what I understood was a lot of the streaming networks
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: went overseas to buy product cheaper. But with the impacts
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: on theatrical where is the industry today and how does
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: it work for somebody like you, an independent producer? Are
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: you still getting as much product through the pipeline?
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: No?
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think anybody at any level of success
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: in the business right now would tell you that it's
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: just a disaster. Disaster, Yeah, it's kind of been. The theatrical
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: business is decimated. You know, I had a and I
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: worked had a deal as a producer at Warner Brothers
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: for twenty seven years, and during those years they made
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: thirty to thirty five movies a year, and now they
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: make four.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Four, four or five movies.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: And then sometimes those movies there's no guarantee now when
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: you make a movie that it will be theatrically released.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: They all kind of have a clause now in the
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: contracts that say they'll decide when the movie's finished. So
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: you see things happen like this movie Wolf with Brad
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Pitt and George Clooney, that you would never think would
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: be in jeopardy of no theatrical release.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: They decided not to release it in theaters.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: So how did they decide that? Did they test it?
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: They test it.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: They look at how other movies of the same genre
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: are doing. And really the only movies that are opening big,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: you know, are kind of what we call tentpole movies,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: phenomenon movies that are like winning the lottery, and then
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: some you know, very small movies that are really kind
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: of a fluke will will do well. But so yeah,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I mean when I hear people say like, oh, when
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: you know, when we used to go to the movies
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: in the old days, and it just kind of breaks
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: my heart. But as I said earlier, you know, I've
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: accepted that that is what's you know, that's the world now,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: that's how it is.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: I like to watch movies at home on my.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Big TV with a good sound system, so I can't
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: really point the finger, you know, I get it. There's
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: there are tons of movies being made for streaming that
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: are kind of just expendable, like most people don't even
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: know they come out, or they come out and then
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: you forget about them a week later. They don't have
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: a huge cultural impact, you know, like we used to
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: hope movies hat.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: So it's in a real transition period.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I think, you know, I'm optimistic that it will find
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: a leveling out because listen, I mean, culturally, movies are
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the most important art form in the history of the world,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and I don't know if that will continue, but some
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: form of visual communication like that will always be be
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: the case.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: You know, whether it'll be.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: You know, AI actors with an AI script and AI sets,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know that's a possibility.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: So but it's a struggle right now.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of anxiety and sadness and difficulty for
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: people in my business.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: Right Yeah, we're speaking with Denis Stanovi, longtime Laguna Beach resident,
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: here on KXFM Radio.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: I mean, nobody could have foreseen this impact of COVID
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: and you know life pre COVID and post COVID, and
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: how our viewing habits changed so dramatically. I mean, it
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: used to be a ritual for people to go to
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: the theater. Yeah, and I remember the shared experience you
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: talked about. I remember, I'll point out going to see
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: Borat in a movie theater the day it came out
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: and the theater was passed, and to be in an
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: environment where everybody's doubled over laughing, Yeah, the entire theater.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: We used to say that movies will survive because people
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: like to cry together, laugh together, and be scared, to
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: be scared together. But you know that is not so
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: much the case anymore. But you know, to segue into
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: you know what we're here to talk about today, you know, yeah,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: thank you that. You know, Laguna Beach Theater had played
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: a really big part in my life as a teenager
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: because it was a real theater, and a beautiful theater was.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Right downtown and we actually went to that.
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: It was kind of a heartbeat of the village in
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: a way, you know. And you know, some of my
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: best most fun memories are the McGill of Refreeman surf
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: movies that they used to play all night. And I
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: would get in so much trouble because I would tell
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: my mother I'd be home by ten and then hope
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: she'd be asleep, and I would, you know, get home
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: at like four or five or something. And one time
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I was scared to go in, so I slept in
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the car and the.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Driveway, so she thought it was dead. I mean, I
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: never lived that one down. But it was so much fun.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: It was you know, it was such a community thing,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: and you know, the mcgilbery's are such a such a
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: rock for this community and it goes so far back
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: to then, you know, and the whole thing of of
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: surf movies were uh, such a beautiful thing.
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: It was collective experience.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, collective experience, and and it was you know, our
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: town was an important it was an important surf town
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: and culturally, you know, it kind of melded in the
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: whole hippie thing.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: You know, Tim Leary lived in the Canyon with the.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Brotherhood and and uh, the whole surf thing and and
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: the you know, the birth of skinboarding.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: That Victoria.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: It was just really a great, great time, and the
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: theater played such a big part in that. And you know,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: the Five Summer Stories, which is you know, one of
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the foundational surf movies. That An Endless Summer was such
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: a big deal. You know, it was such a big deal,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: and and you know what mcgillery Freeman did was like
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: really a radical, radical art form, you know, for the time.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: But that movie, the soundtrack was by this band called
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Honk that was basically a local band, and it was
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: kind of for me like the first surf music along
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: with the Beach Boys, and it just was it was
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: just melded for me with Laguna Beach, that music and
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: that sound and the sort of the commitment.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: To that culture.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: So and we just like when Honk played, that was
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: like the biggest deal, and you know it was just
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: a really great part of my kind of teen year experience.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: So that's why I chose one of the songs from
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: the soundtrack.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Why don't we get into that right now.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: What the song you chose is made my statement love
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: you Baby, which Steven beths Wood, the founders of the band,
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: still play that song around town to this day. Isn't
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: it God bless amazing that they're still doing it. Yeah,
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: occasionally they get together with Hank.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: And they sometimes.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: I think I mentioned to you they performed the soundtrack
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: live when they did a screening of Five Summer Stories.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: So we do have all of this heritage and nostalgia
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: for this wonderful place. But I love that you bring
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: it back to the present and say it's still wonderful.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: And those are exemplars of that very idea. So here
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: we go on k XFM. We're going to tee up
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: Denise's first pick, which is Hanks. Let me get this right, Hanks,

• 15:26
  Speaker 9: I'm weirding on you.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, waiting on you.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: That's Steven beth Wood and their band Honk Laguna Beach
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: Bread And as you mentioned mcgilvy Freeman films, those have
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: been they've been collaborating all these years on their award
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: winning IMAX films, large format films. And you know, Greg
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: being a surfer himself, was really a pioneer in a
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: lot of camera work because he would get he would
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: build waterproof housing in those days, giant, and he'd get
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: on a surfboard and catch a wave holding the housing,
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: filming other surfers.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Imagine, don't do that at home.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you see him, it's amazing.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: Then he's get a little closer to that, mixing or
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: pull it towards you if you want. Yeah, excellent. And
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: you know you mentioned how movies and even when you're
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: growing up to Laguna Theater, which is now the Rivian Theater.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: Brought people together and that's really I think what we're
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: trying to do with the radio station as well, because
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: following the turmoil that's occurred in the last couple of
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: weeks and the divisiveness that we were experiencing in our
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: country and the uncertainty and anxiety, we really feel like
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: it's the golden moment for radio, because especially community radio,
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: because as you said, people are at home now watching
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: their films.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: We don't have these shared experiences. Yet.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: We're social beings, we're social animals, and we don't go
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: to religious organizations anymore. You know, church is out of favor.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: We don't have town squares, so we all know there's
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: an pandemic of loneliness. And I really feel like something
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: like radio that has twenty four hours a day to
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: fill with content, if you bring members of the community
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: in and they share their gifts, we're all better.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Off for it.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. I am so grateful to you for doing this, Billy.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: You've been so dedicated to this town and this is
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: just amazing and it's so true. I mean, I think
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: the reason people are listening to so many podcasts some
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: people have a podcast on constantly, like throughout.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: The day and night, is it. I think it does
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: alleviate that sense.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Of loneliness or a loneeness, and you feel like you're
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: in a way communicating your learning something and expanding, you know,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: in some way. And I think radio, live radio and
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: radio that it relates to where you live and your
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: community and what's going on in the community is even
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: more important than that, you know, And I think there's
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: in you know, there's so many things that we're returning
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: to the basics on in this you know, in this
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: time of insecurity and fear, sometimes going back to something
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: really fundamental is really comforting. And you know, most of
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: us did grow up with radio, and you know, younger
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: people who don't you know, didn't know that. I mean,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: how cool is it to have people have shows that
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: you know or that are talking about your experience in
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: your own community.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: I just I think it's so great, And we want
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: to do things like we're trying to get together some
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: radio theater old day radio where you get people sitting
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: around doing a reading but also with a folly person
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: doing all the sound effec that'd be so great doing
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: it live, right, I mean, there's so many things we
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: can learn from the old days of radio. And you know,
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: it was the first wireless communication that connected the world
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: and people gathered around it. You know, we all know
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: the orson well story or of the worlds. But you know,
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: and of course we don't have local newspapers anymore. They
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: all got to is serrated by the internet. And so
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: where do you get your local news source? And I
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: remind people that it was Tip O'Neil who said all
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: politics are local. So rather than get you know, have
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: this be addled this part of your brain that's occupied
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: with what's happening in the national uh, you know, in
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: the international news. Really what matters day to day is
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: how we live, how we interact with each other. Our rituals,
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: you know, are where we chose to focus our energies.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: And I think if people do focus on the good
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: and collaborate on creating things together here in this town,
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: then we'll be fine. Yeah, I agree, we'll thrive. Speaking
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: of which thriving, what other songs would you like to play?
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm you know, when I think back at my
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: early Laguna days, I think that period of music where
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: the female singer songwriter emerged, you know, Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: lnron St.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, I could go on and on.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: They were so cool, They really had something to say,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: They wrote, you know, most of them wrote their own lyrics,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: and they kind of you know, lived their own lives
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: and very sexy, independent, creative women that I idolized, and
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I think, you know, or you know, the ladies of
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: the canyon, so to speak. You know, I really think
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: that growing up, being very young when they emerged was
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: really imprinted on my psyche and helped and supported me
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: in my own desire to be a creative person and
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: make movies and think that that was possible. Yeah, you
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: feel empowered, and it's really more than that, even inspired,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: because you know, when I started, there was it would
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: probably ninety nine point nine percent men in my field,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: and I had zero role models, you know. So it
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: was really in music that I saw women forging a
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: creative path, so, you know, and I'm very grateful for that. So,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: you know, Joni Mitchell, I think was his Joni Mitchell
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: and Stevie Nicks have been the most probably the most
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: inspirational to me in many ways and one of the
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: biggest thrills of my life was.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: I was producing a movie.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Twenty five years ago called Practical Magic with Sondra Bullock
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: and Nicole Kidman that's remained so popular. We're actually going
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: to be shooting the sequel this summer, and I reached
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: out to We reached out to Stevie Nicks because she's
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: kind of a witch and it's about witches, and she
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: did a different version.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: She said, I'll do it, but Cheryl Crowe.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Has to produce it for me, and they had wanted
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: to work together, so we said, of course, And she
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: recorded a version of Crystal that's in the song and
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: really beautifully done.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: And we are, you know, in conversations for with her
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: to do a movie for this sequel.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: And I mean there's early days, but Landslide is probably
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: my favorite song, and I would be thrilled if that
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: was a song that she re recorded for the movie.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: But so I have I chose those two songs. If
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: you want to play one or the other.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Which do you are you feeling Landslide or yeah?
• 22:38
  Speaker 14: We can.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: I think we could use Landslide as inspiration these days.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: All right, Landslide? Fleetwood Mac, You're on KXFM radio.
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: To my love to get down, climbed the mountain and
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: turned around, and I saw my reflection snow coveroties to
• 23:17

  Speaker 9: reflection in the snow coverdy where the landslide bringing down?

  Speaker 9: Oh lads, lad bringing down?
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, amazing Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks. Oop. I'm gonna
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: just cut that off right now. Yeah.
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: We were just talking while the music was playing on
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: with Denisdanovi about well, our wonderful sound spectrum that you
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: grew up with.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Right, Oh my gosh, let me tell you my best
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: friend Cherry and I in high school. This is these
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: are the days when the ocean was, you know, full
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: of mabaloni, full of abalony and lobsters and octaper the whole.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: And we would walk along the beach, little hippie girls
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: and find the most beautiful abaloni shells and polish them
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: and drill a hole and get leather things and make
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: them necklaces. And we would sell them to Sound Spectrum
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: for two dollars and he would and he would sell
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: them for four dollars. Gym otto over four dollars and
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: that you know, that supplement did my income, my high
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: school income.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: So I go way back it Sound Spectrum.
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And you know, you talk about how things change.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: It's a natural course of things. And you know, Vinyl's
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: not so popular anymore, although it has had a small resurgence,
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: and we are hoping in our new studio to have
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: an entire wall filled with records and having a record
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: exchange where the members of the community can come in and.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Take one out and bring one over us.
• 27:26
  Speaker 10: So cool.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we don't want to give that up, you know.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: And Jonathan, who you guys met, who's the general manager.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: I met him because his show is right before mine
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: and calls it Deep Cuts and he only plays vinyl.
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: We got a turntable here and it really brought back
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: for me how our listening habits were so different back
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: in the day, because now we just listen to a single, right,
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: there's no continuity in an artist's vision like there was
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: with a record where they really thought about the sequence.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Of songs, and it was an experience exactly, and you
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: listening to the whole album was like watching a movie.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: It was a whole.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: Experience sitting around with your friends every new song, and
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: then you're obsessed with the liner notes and the graphics
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: and interpreting and you know, Jonathan remind me that that
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: was a collaborative ever, that wasn't just the band, that
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: was all the people around them contributing.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: And it's coming back to a degree.
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: I know, there's we had a gentleman in here on
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: Monday who's just pressed a record, and so there is
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: something to the art and craft of a record that
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: we have lost. But like everything like radio, we hope
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: to bring that back. In fact, his knowledge of records
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: is so deep I had to christen him a resident vinylcologist.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: What have we got up next to nise.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Well to give maybe give one more shot to the
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: female singer songwriter. I just find it so interesting that
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Judy Collins performed both sides now, and that's what kind
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: of launched Joni Mitchell.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that. I don't either, Yeah, and she
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: did such a beautiful version of it.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: And I think we most of us no Joni's version,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: but that, you know, I think the messages in those
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: songs too, were so simple and a lot of them
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: seem really naive now. But you know, listening to Landslide,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: you know the line can you handle the seasons of
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: your life? I mean that's really a big question, you know,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: no matter what the season is, can you handle it?
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: And how are you facing the challenge of it?
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: And both sides now, I mean that is pretty much
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: life encapsulated in those lyrics.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: The meaning of life.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: That's so true.
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: I mean, beyond her musicianship, her voice, you know, her
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: jazz chops, her lyrics are just poetry.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Pure poetry. She looks at herself, she sees herself as
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: a poet. Yeah, and yeah, it's true.
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: So maybe that one, Okay, maybe that one, and guys
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: call on in if you have time, If you have
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: a moment, give us a shout nine four nine seven
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: one five five nine three six. We'll just go online
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: if you would, and donate to their community radio station,
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: kx FM Radio dot org. Here's the Judy Collins version
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: of Both Sides Now.
• 30:19
  Speaker 14: Goes and flows of angels here, and ice cream castles
• 30:25
  Speaker 14: in the air and feathered canyons everywhere. I've looked at
• 30:32
  Speaker 14: clouds that way, but now they only block the sun.
• 30:39
  Speaker 9: They rain and snow on everyone.
• 30:43
  Speaker 14: So many things I would have done, but clouds got
• 30:48
  Speaker 14: in my way.
• 30:50
  Speaker 13: I've looked down clouds from both sides.
• 30:53
  Speaker 14: Now, from home down, and still somehow it's blousy. You
• 31:00
  Speaker 14: shall time recall I really don't know class.
• 31:08
  Speaker 16: And sand June and faery streets, the dizzy dancing way.
• 31:24
  Speaker 9: When every berry tale comes streets.
• 31:29
  Speaker 11: I've looked at love that way, but now it's.
• 31:33
  Speaker 9: Just another show.
• 31:36
  Speaker 10: You leave them.
• 31:37
  Speaker 14: Laughing when you know, and a bookcake, don't let them know,
• 31:44
  Speaker 14: don't give yourself away.
• 31:47
  Speaker 12: I'm a turn bos.
• 31:51
  Speaker 10: Now probably.
• 31:54
  Speaker 14: Fanstil somehow it's lovely the sha time, I really don't know.
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: And.
• 32:14
  Speaker 11: And fres and feeling that to say.
• 32:18
  Speaker 13: I love him bright love, dreams.
• 32:23
  Speaker 11: Escapes and supers.
• 32:24
  Speaker 14: Crowds have looked bad lies that way, but now friends
• 32:31
  Speaker 14: are acting strange.
• 32:33
  Speaker 9: Very shake her heads.
• 32:35
  Speaker 14: This sad change for something loss, but some escape been
• 32:42
  Speaker 14: living every day.
• 32:45
  Speaker 12: I's my proble is now.
• 32:49
  Speaker 11: From passes from the crowd.
• 32:53
  Speaker 16: It's life solutional till I really don't know.
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a beautiful rendition of both sides now. And I
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: just want to mention that Joni Mitchell you mentioned, thinks
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: of herself as a poet, but she also spent a
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: lot of years as a painter.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, beautiful painting.
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: Yes, which I think is a segue to mention that
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: you are not only a film producer, but you have
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: recently taken up quite quite extensively painting.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Oh thank you, Matt.
• 33:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Another you know, another source of gratitude to Laguna for me.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: I my second husband passed away almost five years ago,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: and uh, the week of the lockdown, and faced with
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: that combination of events, I just started painting.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: It came out of nowhere.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: I'd never done any painting or art work before and
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: just kept painting. And through this community. My my art
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: work came in front of Peter Blake and and Genvieve
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Genevieve Williams and and Uh and Gianna Wurtzel really helped
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: me and Mohonker and I ended up having a a
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: gallery show at the beautiful Honker Gallery on Broadway, which
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: I highly recommend anyone listening go to this gallery. It's
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: one of the most beautiful galleries. It's really special. It's
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: such a great part of the community now and dedicated
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: to local artists. And it was just a beautiful experience
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: for me and an opportunity for me to share, you know,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: share the experience that something beautiful can come from grief
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: and that we can survive with the help of community, art, music, friendship.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: There's so many avenues open to you if you know,
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: if you're open open to that. So it was a
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: really beautiful experience in the community. Really, the town really
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: came out for me and it was wonderful.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: You know, you mentioned about inspiration.
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: I was going to ask you, what if you had
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: a specific aha moment when you said, I'm gonna I'm
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: going to see if I can paint.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: No, it was the weirdest thing.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: I just I'm a meditator and my meditation practice was
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: helping me, but but not enough. And I thought, you know,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: I just had an urge to do kind of meditative
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: drawings of little, tiny mosaic type drawings, and it was
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: something that I think rested my mind and gave me
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: an expression for my emotions through color and shape. And
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: I live next door to Noel who owns our amazing
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: art store.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: On Ocean, and.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: You know, I was able to go in there and
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: get some paint and canvas and I just started painting.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: And I don't know where it came from or what
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: I was doing, but it's you know, people connect to
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: it in some level.
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: So well, like you say, sometimes inspiration you don't know
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: where it comes from. But as Elizabeth Gilbert said in
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: Big Magic, you know, when there's an idea, it's energy
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: and you just have to harness it and ride that thing.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's what I feel like.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know where it came from, and I just
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: kind of went, you know, it was a wave and
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: I rode that, rode that wave.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: And are you still painting?
• 36:58
  Speaker 14: Oh?
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's because it's a part of my life.
• 37:01
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: Wow, amazing. So nice chapter. Nice change.
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and now you can call yourself a multi hyphen it. Yeah,
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: I couldn't get that other song. We were going to
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: do the Wakefield song. But we have a few other
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: songs we can play. We have your Longer Boats, Cat
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: Stephens song.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Donovan, you know, Donovan Isn't was an example to me
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: of of an album because you know, I had like
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: a mad crush on Donovan and as and for years,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: and his albums to me were kind of all of
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: a piece and.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: So of the time.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: And again, his lyrics and the music were such a
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: perfect kind of you know, he was so unique in
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: his approach and the kind of lyrics he wrote were
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: very kind of elliptical and magical in a way, and
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: even his voice. And I think every album that he
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: did was I loved the album, you know the album.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: I would listen to the entire album over and over again.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: So and you know, sometimes I didn't even know what
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: the song meant. I remember hearing longer Boats and thinking like,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: what's a longer boat?
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: Like what the hell does that mean?
• 38:24
  Speaker 17: You know?
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: And as the years went by, I think I kind
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: of figured it out. But it's there's something that works
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: on the subconscious, I think with a lot of his songs.
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: Anyway, Well, quick question, because the theme I'm hearing here
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: in your musical selection today is a lot of songs
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: that sort of were part of your youth. Yes, And
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: my question is are these still the songs you listen
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: to today?
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: You know, I have to admit, I think we all
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: have get a comfort it's comfort food to listen to
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: the music that were when we were young. And you know,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: for me, I came to Laguna from the San Fernando Valley.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: I guess I was almost fifteen and ninth grade and
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: I had been coming here with a friend and I
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: actually talked to my parents. My dad's a jazz musician,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: so he could kind of live anywhere. I talked him
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: into moving here.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Believe it or not, you did it. I did it.
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: And I took them down here and I said you
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: have to see this place. And my parents were like
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: they were kind of hippies, and they were like, I'm in.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: We're moving here. And we got a little house. We
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: rented a little house on went Terrace. And the first
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: night I went to sleep and I had a terrible
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: nightmare and I woke up and the nightmare was that
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: I wasn't allowed to live in Laguna. That somebody came
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: and said, oh no, you can't live here. You have
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: to go back to the San Fernando Valley. And I
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: was crying the horror, Oh my god, and I realized
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: I felt like the luckiest person in the world.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: I felt like I had moved to paradise and I
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: was safe.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: You hear that everybody.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: Beautiful and the people were nice. In Laguna Beach High School,
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, come.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: On, you were immediately taken in and except.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like the greatest kids.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: And you know, I'd walk to school every morning, I'd
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: walk home down Park Avenue seeing the ocean.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: And go, and you still do and I still do.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: And it was you know, I was so afraid it
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: would end, like I was dreaming or something.
• 40:18
  Speaker 16: You know.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: So those years of being in high school here and
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: then the years after coming here, and you know, it
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: just is a very special touchstone for me. So the
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: music that I that I loved during that period, I thought,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: you know, if I'm talking about lagun I'm going to
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: talk about the music that helped me become a person
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: as a teenager.
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: Awesome.
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: And I must say, having heard that you convinced your
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: parents to move here, definitely establish your destiny as a
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: film producer. Let's listen to Where Your Love like Heaven

  Speaker 1: I'm so happy you're doing this and then we have
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: this in our community, and and you know, I think
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: the reason I chose that last song is that, as
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: you mentioned earlier, loneliness is epidemic, and that song brings
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: tears to my eyes.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: You know, that's what we have to do for each other.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: And you know, I'd love to end on one of
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: my favorite songs, Bob Dylan, the Great Great Bob Dylan,
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: Shelter from the Storm, because no matter you know what
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: is going on, there is always somewhere to go, you know,
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: and it can be far away, it could be very
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: hard to find. But you know, I think we have
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: to do that for each other, is give each other
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: shelter and be shelter from the storm in any way
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: we can for anyone who crosses our path.
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: So I would love to end with that song thank you.
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: You know, we can look at this as a death,
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: and we could also look at it as a rebirth
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: and really kind of come to terms with what is
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: important in life. And just as COVID was was a reboot,
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: I think we have to really think about the things
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: that are important to us. And it's honoring each other
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: and being part of a community that supports one another.
