  SPEAKER_09: He hadn't seen, he didn't know that we had that uh big cutout.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_09: The big head.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_09: And so he's a relatively popular kid in eighth grade, and so I walk out, and the trolley wasn't there yet, and I walk out with the head, and the place just erupted.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_09: Right?
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_09: Just this is just outside because I was just waiting for the trolley to show up, and I was gonna go, hey, Eli.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_09: And uh, but my daughter wanted to go inside, she wanted to see all the decorations, right?
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_09: And there were a bunch of people already there, you know, that that didn't take the trolley.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_09: Sure.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_09: And so I walked in w with this giant head just to show her the decorations, and I mean, you would have thought that I don't know, Justin Bieber walked in.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_03: Dude, that's scary.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_09: I just thought that because I held up the head, they're like, Oh my word, can I have that?

• 4:41
  SPEAKER_09: I was like, I'm sorry, no, no, this is destined for my yard.
• 4:44

• 4:47
  SPEAKER_09: I said, Yes, he's almost here.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_09: So that was that was pretty funny.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_09: And they had they had a good time, and it it reminded me of because then you know there were a lot of parents there that were chaperoning uh that put it all together, and I thank them for that.

  SPEAKER_09: Um, because not everybody was able to help.
• 5:05

• 5:15
  SPEAKER_03: Absolutely.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_09: And that's what I'm, you know, that's what I thought as well.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_09: Uh according to the parents, they all gathered, and then as soon as the music started, they all gathered in a group in the middle of the room and were and were just bouncing and dancing and just hooping it up, and it was they're like nothing they've ever seen.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_09: Oh wow.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_09: Um, which was pretty cool.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_09: And you know what I attribute it to?
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_09: Because the the pandemic has affected us in different ways.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_09: Most of it negative.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_09: Um I think this class got closer.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_03: That could very well be.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_09: You know, because um they just and I've got videos to prove it, they just had a ball all night long.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_09: Good.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_09: And and personalities came out that you didn't know about.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_09: Like there's this one kid that was really quiet.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_09: I have video of him standing on the stage singing Hey Jude, and all the crowd has their phones up going with lighters.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_09: Oh, wow! It was pretty cool.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_09: Nice, nice.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah, yeah, it was pretty cool to see.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_09: So that was Friday.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_09: No, that was no, that was Friday night, I believe.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_09: Yes, that was Friday night.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_09: Then Saturday, and I've told you um the whole history with my my in-laws and the way they they just kind of operate the way they want to operate.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_09: Have I told you this about like the shed?
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_09: Remember the shed?
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah, yeah.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah, so when we first bought our house.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_03: Well, your your in-laws are kind of like the Illuminati.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_03: Not no no offense, ma'am, but uh that's always the vibe I get.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_09: They kind of do what they want to do when they want to do it.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I think there's something not sinister, but something secret.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_09: I don't know about that.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_09: You know what I mean?
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_09: But but they do uh kind of you know, um, don't care what you think.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_09: No, no, I I just no, I totally know what you're doing.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_09: I'm talking about that.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_09: Me, you know, like so here's an example.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_09: So when we first bought this house, um mm I came home from work one day and and there was wood on my yard, and my father-in-law said, I'm gonna build you a shed.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_09: I said, Okay.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_09: Uh thank you.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_09: And uh yeah, I'm gonna put it right here.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_09: Okay.

  SPEAKER_09: I don't know why, but I'm sure you do.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_09: So okay.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_09: So now I have a shed where the door faces back, so I have to go around to get my lawnmower and stuff instead of I don't know what the purpose of that was.

  SPEAKER_03: Well that's the in the Illuminati handle, which you don't have.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_03: So I'm sure it makes sense.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_03: It has to be facing a certain direction in cardinal directions.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_09: I am completely grateful, you know, for it.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_09: Uh I you know, you don't look a gift horse in the mouth, I guess.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_03: No, absolutely.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_09: And I mean he built it out of his, you know, I mean he he built it.
• 8:25

  SPEAKER_03: Well, we still did how to do our uh Michael McDonald's.
• 35:27
  SPEAKER_03: That's what we were talking about.

  SPEAKER_09: Appreciation episode.

  SPEAKER_09: We were gonna do like a whole episode on it.

  SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
• 35:31

  SPEAKER_03: I mean, it would never happen, but it would be cool.
• 35:35
  SPEAKER_09: Right.
• 35:36
  SPEAKER_03: So uh the question was so good at getting interviews.
• 35:39
  SPEAKER_09: Why is it interesting?
• 35:40
  SPEAKER_09: What is interesting to you about Michael uh um working with Michael McDonald and uh versus doing your own versions?
• 35:45
  SPEAKER_09: And Kenny Loggan says the main thing I learned that is when you record a song that you've written with Michael, he has to be on the piano.
• 35:52
  SPEAKER_09: No studio piano player comes anywhere near what he does because he's self-taught and he learned from a direction of black gospel, an artist like Ray Charles.
• 35:59
  SPEAKER_09: With Michael, the feel of the tune is always in his hands.
• 36:02
  SPEAKER_09: Even when David Foster and I had the chorus of 1982's Heart to Heart, when I went to Michael for the verses, he set the vibe of the song.
• 36:10
  SPEAKER_09: It was that part, Loggins imitates the section, uh, which set the whole uh loop of the tune from that point on.
• 36:18
  SPEAKER_09: Um let's see.
• 36:20
  SPEAKER_09: It really is in Michael's hands with the way he plays.
• 36:24
  SPEAKER_09: Uh how does Michael push you artistically?
• 36:29
  SPEAKER_09: Um, to simplify.
• 36:31
  SPEAKER_09: I think his melodic forms are all about pocket and all about the essential elements of that melody.
• 36:35
  SPEAKER_09: Okay, I want to get to the whole uh where did yacht rock come from?
• 36:39
  SPEAKER_09: But before I do that, um did you know that Michael McDonald is back touring with the Doobie Brothers?
• 36:46
  SPEAKER_03: I think I heard that.
• 36:47
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah, and I'll there he's not like back in the band or anything.
• 36:49
  SPEAKER_09: No, he's just he's just right, just yeah.

  SPEAKER_09: And so I picked up the Doobie Brothers, uh, One Step Closer, which has let's see, Real Love is on here, which was a hit for them.
• 37:36
  SPEAKER_09: One step closer.
• 37:37
  SPEAKER_09: Um I think those are the only hits from this album, but uh anything with Michael McDonald, man.
• 37:44
  SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah, absolutely.
• 37:45
  SPEAKER_09: So that's one step closer.
• 37:47
  SPEAKER_09: I also picked up uh taking it to the streets.
• 37:49
  SPEAKER_09: Nice.
• 37:50
  SPEAKER_09: Which has Wheels of Fortune taking it to the streets, uh It Keeps You Run.

  SPEAKER_09: Great song.
• 38:00
  SPEAKER_09: So those are my two new acquisitions.
• 38:02
  SPEAKER_09: So I wanted to get to what he was saying about um uh yacht rock.
• 38:10
  SPEAKER_09: Uh here we go.
• 38:12
  SPEAKER_09: Now that Michael is back touring with the Doobie Brothers, hopefully that will happen.
• 38:16
  SPEAKER_09: It will really be an interesting match.
• 38:18
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah, to put that rock edge of Tommy and the soul edge of Michael would be a fun thing to hear if they can marry it.
• 38:23
  SPEAKER_09: He's talking about um Tom Johnston, the for first lead singer for the Doobie Brothers.
• 38:27
  SPEAKER_09: Okay.
• 38:28
  SPEAKER_09: That when he left, Michael McDonald replaced him.
• 38:30
  SPEAKER_09: Right.
• 38:30
  SPEAKER_09: And they went in a different direction.
• 38:32
  SPEAKER_09: Right.
• 38:33
  SPEAKER_09: Um They wanted me to pick twenty-five of my of my favorite Yacht Rot Yacht Rot songs.
• 38:39
  SPEAKER_09: Well, I didn't have twenty-five of my favorite yacht rock songs.
• 38:42
  SPEAKER_09: Some of those are not great songs, but they have that smooth pop thing that became very popular for a period of time.
• 38:48
  SPEAKER_09: I don't know where it actually came from.
• 38:50
  SPEAKER_09: And the interviewer says, It's interesting because it seems like it started out with a little bit of humor about it all.
• 38:55
  SPEAKER_09: And then Kenny Loggan says, if you listen, they seem to have defined yacht rock as blue-eyed soul.
• 39:00
  SPEAKER_09: In other words, white guys' versions of black music, and that's going to be the death of it.
• 39:05
  SPEAKER_09: It's going to be that racist attitude towards the music that really is, you know, I could have picked out twenty-five Yacht Rock songs that were black artists doing offshoots of the Isley brothers.
• 39:14
  SPEAKER_09: I completely disagree with that.
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_09: I don't think I don't I don't think what he said was Well, why why does it have to be a racial thing?
• 39:22
  SPEAKER_03: I know.
• 39:23
  SPEAKER_03: That's what I mean.
• 39:24
  SPEAKER_03: You know.
• 39:25
  SPEAKER_03: Um music's for everybody, man.
• 39:27
  SPEAKER_09: Blue-eyed, so in other words, white guys' versions of black music.
• 39:31
  SPEAKER_09: Well, white guys have been doing black music forever.
• 39:34
  SPEAKER_09: Well, the Beatles did it.
• 39:36
  SPEAKER_09: Right.
• 39:37
  SPEAKER_09: You know?
• 39:37
  SPEAKER_09: Elvis did it.
• 39:38
  SPEAKER_09: And then he says that's going to be the death of it.
• 39:41
  SPEAKER_09: It's going to be that racist attitude towards the music.
• 39:44
  SPEAKER_09: That really is.
• 39:45
  SPEAKER_09: Uh I could have picked a 25-yard version of it.
• 39:48
  SPEAKER_09: Oh, is it racist?
• 39:49
  SPEAKER_09: That were black artists doing.
• 39:50
  SPEAKER_09: I guess I don't get that.
• 39:52
  SPEAKER_09: Ah, that just turned me off.
• 39:54
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah, everything has to be about race, and I don't understand why that is.
• 39:58
  SPEAKER_09: I really don't.
• 39:59
  SPEAKER_09: So thanks for picking that article, Doug.

  SPEAKER_09: Okay.
• 40:27
  SPEAKER_09: This was uh here we are on Tuesday night, almost eight o'clock.
• 40:31
  SPEAKER_09: This was posted ten hours ago.

  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 40:34
  SPEAKER_09: Vito Brata won't shut the door on performing.
• 40:40
  SPEAKER_09: I do miss it.

  SPEAKER_09: In quotes.
• 40:43
  SPEAKER_03: Wow.

  SPEAKER_03: Welcome back.
• 40:46
  SPEAKER_09: Should I read it?

  SPEAKER_03: Where has he been?
• 40:48
  SPEAKER_09: Should I read it?
• 40:49
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah.
• 40:49
  SPEAKER_09: Because we've talked about this a little bit.
• 40:51
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, he's like he's like the disappearing man.
• 40:54
  SPEAKER_09: Um uh guitar virtuoso, uh, let me do this while I'm while I'm uh while I'm reading.
• 41:04
  SPEAKER_09: So, Vitobrata, if you didn't know, you're hiding under a rock.
• 41:08
  SPEAKER_09: The Guitar Virtuoso who found fame in the 80s with White Lion, but has remained out of the public eye for over 20 years now.
• 41:15
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
• 41:16
  SPEAKER_09: I would say more than 20 years.
• 41:17
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah, uh, admitted he hasn't fully closed the door on performing again.
• 41:21
  SPEAKER_09: In a newly published interview in Guitar World, conducted in 2019, so this was a little while ago.
• 41:27
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
• 41:27
  SPEAKER_09: Brada said he couldn't ever, ever say no to the possibility of a return to performing because it hurts not doing it.
• 41:36
  SPEAKER_09: It's difficult, you know, because I do miss it, he explained, and I regret that I was given a certain amount of talent to do something, and I don't use it.
• 41:43
  SPEAKER_09: Brada co-founded White Lion with Mike Tramp in '83.
• 41:46
  SPEAKER_09: They had major success in the 80s with Wait when the Children Cry.
• 41:50
  SPEAKER_09: The biggest album was Pride in 1987.
• 41:53
  SPEAKER_09: Um his distinctive style and otherworldly soloing made him a fan.
• 41:57
  SPEAKER_09: Okay, we all we know all that.
• 41:58
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 41:59
  SPEAKER_09: I knew what decades mean to people, the guitarist admitted.
• 42:02
  SPEAKER_09: So I knew what was coming down the pipe.
• 42:04
  SPEAKER_09: Brada recalled one conversation in particular that infuriated him.
• 42:08
  SPEAKER_09: One of the record company guys says, You know what your problem is?
• 42:12
  SPEAKER_09: You play too good.
• 42:14
  SPEAKER_09: You need to start playing sloppy, because that's what the kids are into nowadays.
• 42:18
  SPEAKER_09: And I took that as my exit.
• 42:20
  SPEAKER_09: You gotta be kidding.
• 42:21
  SPEAKER_09: You want me to suck?
• 42:23
  SPEAKER_09: Um play too good.
• 42:25
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
• 42:26
  SPEAKER_09: Because record companies are geniuses.
• 42:28
  SPEAKER_09: Um, the experience soured Brata on the entire music industry.
• 42:32
  SPEAKER_09: No kidding.
• 42:33
  SPEAKER_09: White Lions classic lineup played its last show together.
• 42:35
  SPEAKER_09: Get this in 1991.
• 42:37
  SPEAKER_11: Wow.
• 42:38
  SPEAKER_09: And broke up in 92.
• 42:40
  SPEAKER_11: Shesh.
• 42:41
  SPEAKER_09: Right?
• 42:41
  SPEAKER_09: I didn't realize it was that long ago.
• 42:43
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
• 42:43
  SPEAKER_09: Five years later, Brata suffered a wrist injury that made guitar playing painful.
• 42:49
  SPEAKER_09: As a result, he stopped performing and stuck to playing only classical guitars around the house.
• 42:53
  SPEAKER_09: The interview noted that he started playing electric guitar again in late 2019.
• 42:58
  SPEAKER_09: He did take care of his dad, too.
• 43:00
  SPEAKER_09: I think his dad was ill.
• 43:01
  SPEAKER_09: Okay.
• 43:02
  SPEAKER_09: So for a number of years he was taking care of his dad.
• 43:04
  SPEAKER_09: He conceded that a lot would have to change for him to return to the stage, but he expressed appreciation that fans still enjoy what he recorded.
• 43:12
  SPEAKER_09: I'm just happy that I left it all out on the field, he declared while looking back on his influential career.
• 43:17
  SPEAKER_09: Sometimes I really feel like I exceeded my ability.
• 43:21
  SPEAKER_09: Now, just think for a second, because you know they were talking about um not too long ago one tribute concert.
• 43:32
  SPEAKER_09: Because if they did a tour, uh, I don't think it would work.
• 43:36
  SPEAKER_09: But if they did one tribute concert to the late great Eddie Van Halen.
• 43:39
