  SPEAKER_02: I haven't heard of either having a CD, have you?

  SPEAKER_02: No.
• 0:22
  SPEAKER_02: Speaking of updates.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 0:25
  SPEAKER_02: You know who has become a very fan-friendly artist?
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_02: A guy who was part of selling millions upon millions of albums, records.
• 0:39
  SPEAKER_02: And he is very social media conscious about updating his...
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_02: I guess he does it like in WordPress or something.
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_02: But he puts constant updates and,
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_02: very upbeat,
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_02: friendly, you know, always thanking everybody for coming to the shows and whatnot.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_01: Sure.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_01: No idea.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_01: It's not Don Dokken.
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_02: No.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_02: No, that's your job.
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, exactly.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_01: Who?
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_02: Former lead singer for Chicago, Peter Cetera.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_01: Really?
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_02: Every time,
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_02: just since I was watching his website,
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_02: I never really looked at it before until the whole discussion came down that
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_02: when Chicago got nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as to
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_02: whether he was going to perform with them or not.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_02: And there was a note on his front page saying that he would make his announcement
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_02: after the new year.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_02: So I kind of kept an eye on it just to see what his take was going to be and
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_02: if he was going to play or not, blah, blah, blah.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_01: Sure.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_02: But then I started reading his posts and after he does a show,
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_02: you know, he does a lot of, you know, theater type shows now as a solo artist.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_02: He always has photos, says, you know, we had a great time.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_02: I want to thank so-and-so and so-and-so for making it a good evening for us.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_02: Thanks for everybody coming out.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_02: I had a real good time meeting all of you.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_02: Thanks for this.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_02: Thanks for that.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_02: I'll look forward to seeing you tomorrow night at such and such a place.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_02: It's like, all right, already.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_02: No, but I like that, though.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, if you're a big fan of somebody, this guy is very interactive.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I got a letter from so-and-so.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_02: He wanted to know this and that.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_02: Well, to tell you the truth, yada, yada, yada.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_01: He's probably just working toward forgiveness for ruining Chicago.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_01: How did he ruin Chicago?
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_01: Because they were good until he took over all the lead vocals
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_02: and then they were shit.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_02: Well, he was with the band from the very beginning, though.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but once he stepped
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_01: up as the main singer.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but that wasn't him.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_02: That was Foster who directed that.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_01: Foster wrote those bad songs.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_01: That's an awful album.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but regardless of that,
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_02: I like that because at one time, he was not known to be the most sociable guy.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_02: And I had read a post.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_02: He had like a message board or something like that.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_02: And he was just like, hey, listen,
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_02: if you guys want an autograph and you want me to autograph something,
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_02: just send me your thing and here's the address and please,
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_02: include a self-addressed stamped envelope and I'll autograph your shit
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_02: and I'll send it back to you.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_02: No charge.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_02: You know, just,
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_02: here, send me your record record album, send me your CD cover, whatever it is.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_02: I'll sign it for you.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_01: Nothing wrong with that.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_02: But then he goes, well, some people can't follow directions.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_02: Some people can't appreciate a good thing when they have it.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_02: People got to abuse the privilege.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_01: Send them all 20 albums.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_01: They did.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_01: That's exactly right.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_02: Didn't send anything to send the freaking things back.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_02: People did not include postage.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_02: They didn't include a box or an envelope to send their thing back.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_02: So until further notice, I'm not doing this anymore.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_01: So in other words, fuck you, pal.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's it.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_02: You know,
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_02: and if you didn't have anything to sign,
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_02: he would sign an 8x10 provided you sent him an envelope.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_01: All right, so that's fair.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_01: You know,
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_01: send an envelope,
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_02: have your name,
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_02: address,
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_02: everything stamped on it, send your request, say, hey, can I have a picture?
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_02: I'll be glad to sign a picture and send it to you,
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_02: but you've got to send me an envelope with your address and stamp and all that,
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_02: and I'll sign it, put it in the envelope, and mail it.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah,
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_01: he doesn't need to be trying to find the envelope and make sure that it came out
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_01: of this one.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_02: So there's a guy who's had a long career,
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_02: still out there performing and whatnot,
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_02: and he wanted to do something cool for the fans, and they just fucked it up.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_02: Of course.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_01: Well, that's what fans do, isn't it?
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_02: That's what they do.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_02: So, all right.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I think it's time for a break.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_02: It's been a good opening monologue.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_01: I actually have a music topic I want to get to tonight, too, so...
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_01: Are you going to play one song or two?
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_01: Two.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_01: All right, I'll tell you.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_01: You pick the first one, and I'll tell you what I'd like you to play for the second one.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_01: Okey-doke.
