- 1:24SPEAKER_09: Supposedly.
- 1:25SPEAKER_09: Supposedly, and I think they're using chicken wire.
- 1:30SPEAKER_09: Which, you know, doesn't work.
- 1:32SPEAKER_12: Maybe maybe they're using one of those electric fences that people use for their dogs.
- 1:38SPEAKER_12: They're just like, yeah, that'll work.
- 1:40SPEAKER_12: Yeah, right.
- 1:41SPEAKER_12: It's a it's a thousand-pound animal.
- 1:43SPEAKER_12: They'll be stopped by some invisible fence.
- 1:46SPEAKER_09: So uh yesterday, there's a debate on how many, it was either three or four of them, got out and were loose and running around the streets.
- 1:56SPEAKER_12: Running amok.
- 1:57SPEAKER_12: Right.
- 1:58SPEAKER_09: And they wrangled two or three of them back, but there was one still on the loose.
- 2:02SPEAKER_09: Yeah.

- 2:15SPEAKER_09: No, it's a buffalo.
- 2:19SPEAKER_09: Uh luckily I was able to avoid hitting the the bison.
- 2:23SPEAKER_09: It was right in the middle of the road.
- 2:25SPEAKER_09: And um he got scared and went, tried to go over the snow bike, didn't make it, fell on his hind legs, and then jumped back up and then tried again and he made it.
- 2:36SPEAKER_09: So he made it over the snowbank and onto a uh snow covered potato field and started running off into the woods.

- 5:55SPEAKER_12: Yeah, you know, the the barn is now an event center and the house you can use as a right, you know, when you could I think I think you can like stay there.
- 6:04SPEAKER_12: But I mean, like Joko and Allison used it as a place to change for the wedding and stuff like that.
- 6:09SPEAKER_09: So what was the what was the joke I made?
- 6:11SPEAKER_12: I don't remember.

- 6:35SPEAKER_09: Uh we were happy to to get a few minutes with Josh.
- 6:38SPEAKER_09: We only I only got to meet Allison very, very briefly, but like I said, she's she had a lot of people there that she had to visit with.
- 6:45SPEAKER_09: So we understand.
- 6:47SPEAKER_09: Um so yeah.
- 6:49SPEAKER_09: So and they seemed right in love.
- 6:51SPEAKER_12: There was lots of tears and oh it was it was a really nice uh it was really nicely done.
- 6:56SPEAKER_12: I I'm still confused by the tag team officiating.
- 7:01SPEAKER_09: Yeah, me too.
- 7:02SPEAKER_12: But I mean I'm sure there's a reason for it and I'm sure one of them maybe Josh will let us know someday.
- 7:07SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 7:08SPEAKER_09: Maybe one is uh an apprentice.
- 7:10SPEAKER_09: I don't know.
- 7:10SPEAKER_12: I don't know.
- 7:10SPEAKER_12: Maybe it was like a on-the-job training, you know.
- 7:13SPEAKER_12: Could be.
- 7:13SPEAKER_12: This this is how you do a wedding.
- 7:14SPEAKER_12: Well, you know.
- 7:15SPEAKER_12: I'm dearly beloved.
- 7:16SPEAKER_12: Dearly beloved.

- 7:24SPEAKER_12: We we're we're gathered.
- 7:26SPEAKER_09: So what I gathered from it because thank you very much.
- 7:30SPEAKER_09: So uh it was a it was a male and female.
- 7:32SPEAKER_09: Yeah, and I think the female had ties to Alison because she was in tears when she was.
- 7:39SPEAKER_12: She was yeah, she kept breaking up and I think the the guy, I think that's Josh's old pastor from up here.
- 7:46SPEAKER_12: Is it really?
- 7:47SPEAKER_12: I think because he looks really familiar.
- 7:49SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 7:49SPEAKER_12: So I I kept looking, I was like, I know that dude from somewhere, but I couldn't quite place him.
- 7:54SPEAKER_09: So we got s uh to sit at the table with the was the common crossing table, basically.
- 7:59SPEAKER_12: Well, out of ten tables, it was number ten, right?
- 8:02SPEAKER_11: It's like, oh yeah, we probably should invite them.
- 8:05SPEAKER_11: So that's what it kind of felt like.
- 8:07SPEAKER_12: I was like, what was the joke we kept making about from the wedding singer?
- 8:11SPEAKER_12: All the T the all the mutants of table nineteen.
- 8:14SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 8:17SPEAKER_09: Except they had a sitting with uh actually one of my co-workers.
- 8:22SPEAKER_09: She's a first-grade teacher at the time.
- 8:23SPEAKER_12: Yeah, I thought that was weird that she she knows Allison.
- 8:26SPEAKER_09: It's such a small world.
- 8:27SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 8:28SPEAKER_09: So uh so she's married to a pastor.
- 8:31SPEAKER_09: Uh it's his second marriage, his first marriage, sh his uh he was was a widower.
- 8:37SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
- 8:37SPEAKER_09: Um but his first marriage, they babysat Allison um uh when she was young, really young.
- 8:45SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
- 8:46SPEAKER_09: And I think uh I think they did a bunch of other, you know, I mean, their families were pretty tight, and he was their pastor as well.
- 8:52SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 8:52SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
- 8:53SPEAKER_09: So I got down there and I was like, wow, uh this, you know, they're sitting there why are they here?
- 8:58SPEAKER_09: And then we got told the story.
- 8:59SPEAKER_09: It's just a small world.
- 9:00SPEAKER_09: I know, right?
- 9:01SPEAKER_09: You know, yeah.
- 9:02SPEAKER_12: And the first person we met there was Alison's mom.

- 9:05SPEAKER_12: Who's a lovely lady.
- 9:06SPEAKER_11: Yes, lovely lady.
- 9:06SPEAKER_11: So uh that was really interesting.

- 9:15SPEAKER_12: What do we know?
- 9:16SPEAKER_12: Where's the food?
- 9:17SPEAKER_09: She's probably felt bad for us because she's like, oh actually, she's like, so hi.
- 9:21SPEAKER_09: Um I'm Allison's mother.
- 9:24SPEAKER_12: Are you supposed to be here?
- 9:27SPEAKER_12: So but she was she was a really nice lady.
- 9:30SPEAKER_09: Actually, yeah, everybody was very nice.

- 9:34SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 9:34SPEAKER_09: I had the steak tip.
- 9:35SPEAKER_09: So did I.
- 9:36SPEAKER_09: You did?
- 9:36SPEAKER_09: Didn't I?
- 9:36SPEAKER_12: I thought you had the chicken.

- 9:39SPEAKER_09: Yeah, both Teresa and I had steak.
- 9:40SPEAKER_09: Oh, okay.
- 9:41SPEAKER_09: Yep.
- 9:41SPEAKER_09: Oh, Shane and Kimmy had the chicken.
- 9:44SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 9:44unknown: Yeah.
- 9:45SPEAKER_09: Um, so yeah.
- 9:47SPEAKER_12: But it was a fun wedding.
- 9:48SPEAKER_12: It was a nice it was a meaning it was an it was a short ceremony, so it wasn't, you know, drawn out and everything like that.
- 9:53SPEAKER_12: It was very short and sweet to the point.
- 9:55SPEAKER_12: And uh I mean Josh looked uh I mean, dude looked good.
- 10:00SPEAKER_09: He did.
- 10:00SPEAKER_09: That suit was amazing.
- 10:02SPEAKER_09: Well, here's the thing.
- 10:02SPEAKER_09: So we so we were everybody was asked to wear black, which is kind of weird for a wedding.
- 10:06SPEAKER_12: It was a little weird, yeah.
- 10:07SPEAKER_09: But I guess the reason was he had that suit specially made.
- 10:11SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 10:12SPEAKER_09: It was like a green.
- 10:13SPEAKER_09: It was like a dark green.
- 10:14SPEAKER_09: Yeah, and he they wanted it to pop in the pictures and everything.
- 10:18SPEAKER_09: And uh it was made by the same tailor that does Patrick Mahomes.
- 10:25SPEAKER_09: Yeah, Patrick Mahomes' suits.
- 10:27SPEAKER_09: Suits, yeah.
- 10:27SPEAKER_09: So that's kind of cool.
- 10:28SPEAKER_12: Yeah, his manager hooked him up with him, so yeah.
- 10:30SPEAKER_12: Yeah, yeah.
- 10:31SPEAKER_12: So yeah, uh from what I understand, the the their wedding date is stitched into the collar of the jacket.
- 10:38SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 10:38SPEAKER_12: And their initials, his and Allison's initials are stitched into the cuffs of the jacket.
- 10:44SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 10:44SPEAKER_12: So it's like, you know.
- 10:46SPEAKER_12: I mean, that's I mean, who would have thought of that?
- 10:48SPEAKER_12: Because most grooms are like, ah, I'll just run a tuxedo and blah blah blah, turn back in.
- 10:53SPEAKER_12: Not Josh.
- 10:54SPEAKER_12: He's gonna buy a suit for life.
- 10:57SPEAKER_12: Right.
- 10:58SPEAKER_12: So you know this marriage is, you know, you know destined.
- 11:00SPEAKER_12: Destined to last till death do they part.
- 11:03SPEAKER_12: Yep.
- 11:03SPEAKER_12: You know what I mean?
- 11:04SPEAKER_12: Yep.
- 11:04SPEAKER_12: Which I think I thought I thought was brilliant.
- 11:06SPEAKER_09: I thought it was Which also something also that was really cool.
- 11:09SPEAKER_09: First time, of course, we hadn't seen Josh in a long time, and and he looked a lot different than when he left to go to that show.
- 11:16SPEAKER_12: Oh yeah, yeah.
- 11:17SPEAKER_09: So he's he's had full, I mean like his hair was down to his shoulders, I think.
- 11:22SPEAKER_09: He just really recently got a cut, but it's still longer.
- 11:25SPEAKER_09: And he's got a full beard.
- 11:26SPEAKER_09: Yep.
- 11:26SPEAKER_09: And one thing we noticed was he looks like George Harrison.
- 11:31SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 11:32SPEAKER_09: And funny enough, he got married on George Harrison's birthday.
- 11:37SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 11:38SPEAKER_09: And he played George Harris.
- 11:39SPEAKER_09: And he played George Harrison in the Beatles tribute band.
- 11:41SPEAKER_09: It's so cool.
- 11:42SPEAKER_09: So it's so and he didn't even know that.
- 11:44SPEAKER_12: I know, that's what's funny about it.
- 11:45SPEAKER_12: Yeah, he didn't even know.
- 11:47SPEAKER_12: And then the and then the best man speech kept talking about Michael McDonald.
- 11:52SPEAKER_12: Oh, yeah.
- 11:53SPEAKER_12: And they were like, I know I'm gonna get a table and reaction from that table.
- 11:58SPEAKER_12: It was us.
- 11:59SPEAKER_12: Yes, it was.
- 12:00SPEAKER_12: Because we were all like, yeah, Michael and uh we had discussions on how Michael McDonald's uh backing vocals on Peg are amazing.
- 12:09SPEAKER_12: And we all looked at each other and we were like, yes.
- 12:13SPEAKER_12: We raised that boy well.
- 12:14SPEAKER_09: Yeah, it was a great best man speech.
- 12:16SPEAKER_09: It was both speeches were fantastic.
- 12:18SPEAKER_12: You know, if I ever get married, I want him to do it.
- 12:19SPEAKER_12: Yeah, right.
- 12:20SPEAKER_12: I don't even care who the best man is, I'm just gonna have him come and do the speech.
- 12:24SPEAKER_09: As I take a swig off my tea.
- 12:26SPEAKER_09: Sorry.

- 14:08SPEAKER_12: It's overwhelming.
- 14:10SPEAKER_12: Well, no, it's not overwhelming, it's the vibe.
- 14:12SPEAKER_09: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 14:13SPEAKER_09: No, I get that.
- 14:14SPEAKER_09: I get that.
- 14:15SPEAKER_09: It's like I'm out of place.
- 14:16SPEAKER_09: Oh me too.
- 14:18SPEAKER_12: You know?
- 14:18SPEAKER_12: Yep.
- 14:18SPEAKER_12: But you know, it's a music store, it's eclectic.
- 14:22SPEAKER_12: I get it.
- 14:23SPEAKER_12: But it's the only music store, it's one of the only music stores left.
- 14:26SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 14:26SPEAKER_09: And they just closed the one in Sanford, which is crazy.
- 14:28SPEAKER_09: Which is stupid.

- 14:58SPEAKER_12: Really?
- 14:58SPEAKER_12: There's only three songs on the whole album.
- 15:02SPEAKER_12: One is one side.
- 15:04SPEAKER_13: So I got that.
- 15:06SPEAKER_12: I was like, I don't have it, so I got it.

- 15:20SPEAKER_12: Made in Germany.
- 15:21SPEAKER_09: Oh, that's so awesome.
- 15:22SPEAKER_09: You know.
- 15:23SPEAKER_12: I'm glad the Germans got away from uh the whole, you know, trying to take over the world thing and started making albums.
- 15:27SPEAKER_12: Right.
- 15:28SPEAKER_12: So that's an is a nice thing.
- 15:29SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 15:30SPEAKER_09: Um I also um I made my my wife and and son uh drive back to Bangor because we left we we were we had to go to church on Sunday morning in a in a town that's right next to Old Town.
- 15:44SPEAKER_09: So we were on our way home.
- 15:47SPEAKER_12: We went to Old Town, which they don't have churches in Bangor?
- 15:50SPEAKER_09: Not at the time that we need that we not in the we wanted to go.
- 15:53SPEAKER_09: Oh, you know what?
- 15:54SPEAKER_09: We want there's a specific priest that we wanted to see.
- 15:56SPEAKER_09: Oh because he used to be up here and now he's down there.
- 15:58SPEAKER_09: So we went that's why we went to to his church in a place called Bradley.
- 16:03SPEAKER_09: Oh, yeah, I've been there.
- 16:04SPEAKER_09: So we went to church and then um I I told my wife, I said, Don't say that we're you know, we're above Bangor, we're on our way home, because I'm going back.
- 16:14SPEAKER_09: I want I haven't gone to Bull Moose in in like two weeks.
- 16:19SPEAKER_09: You know because we have so deprived.
- 16:22SPEAKER_09: We've had all these basketball um uh trips and I I've gone to Bull Moose, but I've only been in there for like ten minutes.
- 16:28SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 16:29SPEAKER_09: And that's not good.
- 16:30SPEAKER_09: And so I said I'm going back to Bull Moose, and I I got to spend probably 40 minutes, 30, 30, 40 minutes in there.
- 16:37SPEAKER_09: And I picked up a few things, um, and I wanted to preview a couple of um the this one I'm not gonna preview, but again, it's the Foo Fighters, right?
- 16:46SPEAKER_09: Uh nothing left to lose, it's just one that I didn't have.
- 16:48SPEAKER_12: So yeah, they made it in the uh his basement.
- 16:51SPEAKER_09: Yes, in Virginia, yeah, yep.
- 16:53SPEAKER_09: Uh so and that's the one with Learn to Fly on it and uh Generator and Next Year, which is a great song.
- 16:59SPEAKER_09: Yep.
- 16:59SPEAKER_09: Um I picked up because I love the blues and I love Gary Moore.
- 17:05SPEAKER_09: Um Gary Moore, of course, uh played with Thin Lizzie for a long time.
- 17:09SPEAKER_09: And then he just he just became this awesome blues guy, you know, and just his this Les Paul that he's got or had because he's he's not with us anymore, but um his sound is just uh the tone that he gets is amazing.
- 17:25SPEAKER_09: Um well you know this one.
- 17:27SPEAKER_09: Uh let's see.
- 17:29SPEAKER_09: No, not this one, not this one.
- 17:31SPEAKER_09: Where is it?
- 17:32SPEAKER_09: This one.
- 17:35SPEAKER_09: Still got the blues.
- 17:36SPEAKER_09: Oh yeah.
- 17:36SPEAKER_09: Yeah, yeah.
- 17:37SPEAKER_09: That's it's a good okay.
- 17:39SPEAKER_09: So this is what I was expecting.
- 17:42SPEAKER_09: This this album originally was done.
- 17:44SPEAKER_09: This is called A Different Beat.
- 17:46SPEAKER_09: And this one was originally done in like 1999 before he died, obviously.
- 17:50SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 17:51SPEAKER_09: Uh, and he supposedly according to the liner notes, and this was released, the the the copyright on this is 2022.
- 17:58SPEAKER_09: So something's fishy.
- 17:59SPEAKER_09: Um but apparently he was going in a different direction.
- 18:04SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 18:05SPEAKER_09: And there's quotes in in this um in the liner notes of this that says he he was really doing this kind of direction, and he was he likes to change things up.
- 18:16SPEAKER_09: Um and so I I I just put this in my iTunes and I started listening to it.
- 18:20SPEAKER_09: And it's drums and bass.
- 18:35SPEAKER_08: Like you know that's a good thing.
- 18:56SPEAKER_09: So it mentions drums and bass, it mentions dance and electronica.
- 19:03SPEAKER_12: I mean it's oh that's that's a red flag right there.
- 19:06SPEAKER_09: His guitar is there, obviously.
- 19:08SPEAKER_09: And he wrote the songs.
- 19:11SPEAKER_12: Is this a remix album?
- 19:12SPEAKER_12: I don't know.
- 19:13SPEAKER_12: That's that's what it sounds like.
- 19:16SPEAKER_09: Well, uh he's got there's some blues songs on here.
- 19:19SPEAKER_09: Uh you know the song Worry No More.
- 19:23SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 19:23SPEAKER_09: Yep.
- 19:23SPEAKER_09: This is Worry No More.
- 19:32SPEAKER_09: I don't know if some DJ got a hold of it and destroyed it?
- 19:36SPEAKER_09: I don't know.
- 19:42SPEAKER_09: I mean, was he really going in this direction before he passed?
- 19:46SPEAKER_09: Something tells me no.
- 19:52SPEAKER_09: This is the blue song.
- 20:12SPEAKER_09: It's like uh what was that?
- 20:14SPEAKER_09: Uh fat voice limb?
- 20:16SPEAKER_09: That's what it sounds like.
- 20:18SPEAKER_09: It sounds like or or um what did it do with that BB King song?
- 20:22SPEAKER_09: I've been down hearted, baby.
- 20:24SPEAKER_09: Ever since the day we met.
- 20:26SPEAKER_09: Who was that?
- 20:26SPEAKER_09: Was that Fat Voice Limb?
- 20:28SPEAKER_09: I have no idea.
- 20:35SPEAKER_09: Okay, now hold on.
- 20:36SPEAKER_09: Let's see if you recognize this one.
- 20:43SPEAKER_12: Cover.
- 20:44SPEAKER_12: Oh fire, right by Hendrix.
- 21:06SPEAKER_09: I did well.
- 21:07SPEAKER_09: I I like the I mean I don't even dislike the other ones that I've played, but because I like Gary Moore.
- 21:15SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 21:15SPEAKER_09: Uh but I don't know, this one's called House Full of Blues.
- 21:25SPEAKER_09: Where?
- 21:27SPEAKER_09: Which neighborhood?
- 21:28SPEAKER_12: Uh is it one of those tiny houses?
- 21:44SPEAKER_12: It's not blue space, no, of course.
- 21:46SPEAKER_12: Of course.
- 21:46SPEAKER_12: But the the drumming is what's throwing.
- 21:50SPEAKER_09: Well, it's throwing it all out of wax and machines.
- 21:53SPEAKER_09: Yeah, you know, it's the drum machine.
- 21:56SPEAKER_08: But it's that's a
- 22:00SPEAKER_12: Yeah, no, I I I mean Muddy Waters and John Lee Hookard and Howm Wolf and you know T Bone Walker, they're all spinning in their graveyard.
- 22:08unknown: Right.
- 22:09SPEAKER_12: You know what I mean?
- 22:10SPEAKER_09: I don't know if I go that far, but yeah, I mean it's it's d definitely um an acquired taste.
- 22:15SPEAKER_09: The whole drums and bass and and electronica thing.
- 22:18SPEAKER_12: Well, I mean if it's done well, right then it's not a problem, but that's just it's just trying to like I don't know, be trendy.
- 22:26SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 22:28SPEAKER_09: What the hell was that?
- 22:29SPEAKER_09: Is it was it Moby that did um that thing with the BB Kings on?
- 22:36SPEAKER_09: Um was it this right here?
- 22:45SPEAKER_09: Primitive radio gods.
- 22:50SPEAKER_09: Was this it?
- 22:52SPEAKER_09: No.
- 22:55SPEAKER_09: I don't think it is.
- 23:03SPEAKER_09: What?
- 23:03SPEAKER_12: I was supposed to say that's maybe big.
- 23:08SPEAKER_12: Well, they're basically sampling it.
- 23:10SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 23:11SPEAKER_12: Yep.
- 23:18SPEAKER_09: And the name of this song is uh by primitive radio gods.
- 23:26SPEAKER_09: I think it was a one-hit wonder because this was a minor hit.
- 23:28SPEAKER_09: It was?
- 23:29SPEAKER_09: Yep.
- 23:29SPEAKER_09: It's called Standing Outside a Broken Boat Phone Booth with Money in My Hand.
- 23:33SPEAKER_09: That's the name of the song.
- 23:36SPEAKER_09: Yeah, I know.
- 23:39SPEAKER_09: I remember playing this on on uh What am I listening to?
- 23:42SPEAKER_09: Channel X Radio.
- 23:45SPEAKER_12: You played this on Channel X?
- 23:47SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 23:47SPEAKER_12: No wonder you don't work there anymore.
- 23:49SPEAKER_09: No, it was uh it was it was a Was it a hit?
- 23:53SPEAKER_09: Well it was a minor hit.
- 23:54SPEAKER_09: Really?
- 23:54SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 23:55SPEAKER_09: Yeah why?
- 23:56SPEAKER_09: I I it's it was a it was the time.
- 23:59SPEAKER_09: It was like the the 90s.
- 24:01SPEAKER_09: I guess um so the other uh album that I picked up I haven't heard yet.
- 24:07SPEAKER_09: And I got it because it's kind of a I don't say if it's a collector's item, but it's relatively rare, I think.
- 24:17SPEAKER_09: Okay um it is actually where where did it uh what is it filed under?
- 24:22SPEAKER_09: Let's see, because I'm not sure where I just I just oh there it is, there it is.
- 24:30SPEAKER_09: Um no, um so let's see.
- 24:34SPEAKER_09: The career of one of the greatest vocalists in rock history, in my opinion.
- 24:47SPEAKER_09: Um when you think of great rock vocalists, great one of the semi heroes, actually.
- 25:14SPEAKER_09: Um was in uh band in the late sixties, early seventies, or Paul Cossack.
- 25:20SPEAKER_09: You're close.
- 25:22SPEAKER_12: Bad company?
- 25:23SPEAKER_09: Uh Paul Rogers.
- 25:24SPEAKER_09: Paul Rogers, yeah.
- 25:25SPEAKER_09: So Free was his first band.
- 25:27SPEAKER_12: Oh yeah, yeah.
- 25:27SPEAKER_09: And then of course Bad Company.
- 25:30SPEAKER_09: Um and then he was in um he had he had some solo records out in the 80s and he teamed up with Jimmy Page for the firm.
- 25:38SPEAKER_12: Oh, right, all right, yeah.
- 25:39SPEAKER_09: Uh uh radioactive radioactive radioactive well then in the 90s, right around the time when um his old band, Bad Company, was coming out with Holy Water.
- 25:51SPEAKER_09: Do you remember that?
- 25:52SPEAKER_09: We actually talked about that.
- 25:53SPEAKER_12: Yeah, we talked about it not too long ago.
- 25:54SPEAKER_09: He had a band with the drummer, former drummer of The Who, Kenny Jones, and Kenny Jones was also in um The Faces.
- 26:05SPEAKER_09: He was in with Faces with Rod Stewart and Rodwood and Um so they put out an album called The Law.
- 26:15SPEAKER_09: So have you heard anything from this album?
- 26:18SPEAKER_09: I don't think I have.
- 26:19SPEAKER_09: Supposedly, and I'm looking at uh Wikipedia, and I don't remember this song, but it was a number one AOR chart hit.
- 26:28SPEAKER_09: AOR is album-oriented rock.
- 26:30SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 26:31SPEAKER_09: Uh laying down the law.
- 26:34SPEAKER_09: Never heard it.
- 26:36SPEAKER_09: So I just wanted to sample it together to see what it sounded like.
- 26:39SPEAKER_09: So let's listen to the number one AOR radio hit from The Law, which is Paul Rogers and Kenny Jones.
- 26:46SPEAKER_09: And you're wondering who the other musicians are.
- 26:48SPEAKER_09: Kenny Jones obviously is playing drums and Paul Rogers' vocals.
- 26:52SPEAKER_09: That's all the law is.
- 26:54SPEAKER_09: Just those two?
- 26:55SPEAKER_09: According to this, I mean, they have uh, let's see.
- 26:59SPEAKER_09: Was it just some studio guys?
- 27:01SPEAKER_09: Dave Gilmore played guitar in a couple songs, Brian Adams played guitar in a couple songs.
- 27:05SPEAKER_09: Really?
- 27:06SPEAKER_09: Um there was somebody else.
- 27:08SPEAKER_09: Chris Rhea.
- 27:09SPEAKER_09: Uh fool, if you think it's over.
- 27:12SPEAKER_09: He played guitar in a couple songs.
- 27:13SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 27:14SPEAKER_09: I'm just re-going to the liner notes.
- 27:15SPEAKER_09: I haven't heard the album.
- 27:16SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 27:17SPEAKER_09: So I just want to preview.
- 27:18SPEAKER_09: Um one of the things that also turned me on to it was they did a cover of a Def Leopard song that was written by Phil Collin.
- 27:28SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 27:29SPEAKER_09: Called Miss You and a Heartbeat.
- 27:30SPEAKER_09: Oh.
- 27:31SPEAKER_09: That's a good song.
- 27:31SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 27:32SPEAKER_09: But I want to play the single.
- 27:33SPEAKER_09: So this is Laying Down the Law.
- 27:36SPEAKER_09: I once again, I I've not heard this.
- 27:39SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 27:40SPEAKER_09: It says it's playing.
- 27:42SPEAKER_09: Oh, here we go.
- 27:43SPEAKER_09: It's a fade in.
- 27:44SPEAKER_09: Apparently.
- 28:23SPEAKER_09: You remember hearing this at all?
- 28:24SPEAKER_09: Nope.
- 28:25SPEAKER_05: One back.
- 28:32SPEAKER_09: 1991.
- 28:44SPEAKER_04: Sounds like bad company.
- 28:47SPEAKER_12: 1991 was a bad year to bring out new albums because that was the year of the black album, Pearl Jam, Nirvana.
- 28:56SPEAKER_12: Oh, you know, you were getting buried.
- 28:58SPEAKER_12: Yep.
- 28:59SPEAKER_12: You know, if you weren't one of those guys.
- 29:01SPEAKER_12: So but this was the number one AR hit.
- 29:06SPEAKER_12: I don't remember it.
- 29:07SPEAKER_12: I don't remember it all either.
- 29:11SPEAKER_12: I do, I will say this, I like the drum sound.
- 29:14SPEAKER_12: Yep.
- 29:22SPEAKER_09: I love Paul Rogers and I love that company.
- 29:24SPEAKER_09: And it really doesn't sound much like Paul Rogers though.
- 29:28SPEAKER_09: But does it sound is it?
- 29:29SPEAKER_12: It's kind of boring.
- 29:30SPEAKER_12: It it is, it's kind of blocked.
- 29:34SPEAKER_12: It's like he did it on a bet.
- 29:36SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 29:38SPEAKER_12: Okay, there's a little light there, but yeah.
- 29:43SPEAKER_12: Yeah, it's it's bad company now.
- 29:46SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 29:47SPEAKER_12: You know, earlier it was like, I mean.
- 29:54SPEAKER_09: 91.
- 29:55SPEAKER_09: I was I was a junior in high school, but I was in radio.
- 29:59SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 30:00SPEAKER_09: Of course I was I was a country radio at that time, yeah.
- 30:03SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 30:04SPEAKER_09: But I listened to rock radio.
- 30:06SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 30:06SPEAKER_09: Or as much rock radio as I could.
- 30:08SPEAKER_09: Uh, so let's preview their version of Def Leopard's Miss You in a Heartbeat.
- 30:14SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 30:15SPEAKER_09: And this was before Def Leopard did it, I think.
- 30:17SPEAKER_09: Oh, right.
- 30:17SPEAKER_09: I think Phil Collin had written it.
- 30:19SPEAKER_09: They didn't put it on an album.
- 30:20SPEAKER_09: They didn't put it on an album, I think.
- 30:22SPEAKER_12: Yeah, but this was uh, you know, between uh hysteria and adrenalized.
- 30:27SPEAKER_09: Actually, it would have been between adrenalized and retroactive.
- 30:31SPEAKER_09: Oh really?
- 30:32SPEAKER_09: Which I believe it's on retroactive.
- 30:34SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 30:36SPEAKER_09: I don't know that for sure, but I'm pretty sure.
- 30:39SPEAKER_04: I believe there is something deep inside shouldn't be from time to time.
- 30:51SPEAKER_12: I don't know if that big timpy sound in the background.
- 30:57SPEAKER_12: So far so good.
- 31:01SPEAKER_04: The more you care, the more you go.
- 31:08SPEAKER_04: No need to work.
- 31:11SPEAKER_04: No need to turn away, cause it doesn't matter.
- 31:30SPEAKER_09: I like Def Leppard's version better.
- 31:33SPEAKER_12: I do too, but this is a bad.
- 31:35SPEAKER_09: No, no, I th I I like it.
- 31:37SPEAKER_09: Here's Def Leppard's version.
- 31:50SPEAKER_06: I believe that there's something deep inside that shouldn't be from time to time.
- 32:10SPEAKER_09: I know it doesn't sound like that flepper, but it's just piano and joilet.
- 32:15SPEAKER_12: Well you know, but you can tell by that voice.
- 32:17SPEAKER_12: Oh yeah.
- 32:17SPEAKER_12: You know, it's pretty distinctive.
- 32:22SPEAKER_06: And the vocals, like the when the when all the vocals don't let it on you, Phil Collin.
- 32:46SPEAKER_09: Yeah, good tune.
- 32:47SPEAKER_09: It's a good song.
- 32:48SPEAKER_09: And you know, most of that uh new album that they have, Diamond Star Halos.
- 32:51SPEAKER_09: Yeah, Phil Collins responsible for.
- 32:53SPEAKER_09: Really?
- 32:54SPEAKER_09: Most of it.
- 32:54SPEAKER_09: Oh, that's cool.
- 32:57SPEAKER_09: Uh so one more song from the Law album I want to listen to.
- 33:01SPEAKER_09: Because as I'm you know reading the liner notes, I know that Brian Adams uh co-wrote this song.
- 33:07SPEAKER_09: Yeah, Brian Adams and Jim Valance, the two guys that were responsible for Reckless and a lot of other Brian Adams stuff, early Brian Adams stuff.
- 33:15SPEAKER_09: They wrote this song and Brian Adams plays guitar on it.
- 33:17SPEAKER_09: So I'm curious what this sounds like.
- 33:19SPEAKER_09: This is Nature of the Beast.
- 33:43SPEAKER_09: Yeah, doesn't it?
- 33:45SPEAKER_09: Of course it was ninety one, it's true.
- 33:47SPEAKER_09: So it's like on the top.
- 34:26SPEAKER_09: Yeah, I can hear it.
- 34:28SPEAKER_09: Ryan Adams.
- 34:29SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 34:30SPEAKER_12: Not a bad song at all.
- 34:32SPEAKER_12: No, it's good.
- 34:32SPEAKER_12: I like it.
- 34:32SPEAKER_12: It's good.
- 34:33SPEAKER_09: Okay, so I mean, I'm glad I picked it up because I th I don't know how rare it is.
- 34:37SPEAKER_09: It's I mean uh there is a there is a um Law 2 album out there somewhere, but um it was kind of thrown together, and they s a lot of people think that it was left over from from these sessions.
- 34:53SPEAKER_09: So but I'm glad I have it now.
- 34:55SPEAKER_09: You know, so it's that little in-between between uh the firm and you know, bad company and what they're what bad company's doing now.
- 35:03SPEAKER_09: Sure.
- 35:03SPEAKER_09: And uh so it's it's nice to have.
- 35:05SPEAKER_12: I I liked it because it gave me another idea for drum sound.
- 35:09SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 35:09SPEAKER_12: You know, I like that drum sound and I I like Robert Sweet's uh Oh from Striper, yeah.
- 35:15SPEAKER_12: Yeah, I like his drum sound.
- 35:16SPEAKER_12: Oh, you know, I forgot to look for Stryper.
- 35:17SPEAKER_12: I actually the last time.
- 35:18SPEAKER_12: No, there was none there, trust me.
- 35:20SPEAKER_09: I was gonna say, and the last time I went there I looked and I didn't have a there was none, trust me.
- 35:24SPEAKER_12: I looked for Bad Religion, there was one album.
- 35:27SPEAKER_09: It was the uh The Grey Race.
- 35:29SPEAKER_12: Well I already had it.
- 35:30SPEAKER_09: I had a whole list.
- 35:31SPEAKER_12: Couldn't find any Rollins band, couldn't find any Henry Rollins, couldn't find there was Metallica, but it was all like it was like early without nothing.
- 35:42SPEAKER_12: I was there was a live album I was looking for.
- 35:44SPEAKER_12: Uh live at uh it was a it's a bar in Nashville.
- 35:48SPEAKER_12: Oh smiley?
- 35:50SPEAKER_12: Okay or something like that.
- 35:51SPEAKER_12: They they made an album, they did like ten songs, it's all like you know, old stuff.
- 35:56SPEAKER_12: It's actually a really cool live album.
- 35:58SPEAKER_12: I've been looking for it, but I couldn't find it.
- 36:00SPEAKER_12: Uh what else did I look at?
- 36:01SPEAKER_09: I went looking for Dawkins, they didn't have any Dawkins.
- 36:03SPEAKER_12: No, they didn't have any Dawkins.
- 36:05SPEAKER_09: No.
- 36:05SPEAKER_12: Uh what else did I look for?
- 36:07SPEAKER_12: Looked for something else.
- 36:09SPEAKER_09: Have you noticed that the the in the album?
- 36:12SPEAKER_09: Well I looked for an album.
- 36:13SPEAKER_09: Did you find it?
- 36:14SPEAKER_09: No.
- 36:14SPEAKER_09: No.
- 36:16SPEAKER_12: It said local, I was like, because I know when it first came out it was there.
- 36:19SPEAKER_10: Yep.
- 36:20SPEAKER_12: Because I remember I went there shortly after and uh they had like three or four copies there, so I kinda like I put the you know, I pulled them out so they stood out, you know.
- 36:29SPEAKER_09: So I was like, hey, buy the uh so yeah, so um d have you noticed their inventory has shrunk a little bit?
- 36:35SPEAKER_12: Yeah, yeah.
- 36:36SPEAKER_12: Yeah, it's it's not like it was.
- 36:38SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 36:38SPEAKER_09: They moved a lot of empty space around.
- 36:40SPEAKER_09: Move some stuff around.
- 36:41SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 36:41SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 36:42SPEAKER_09: Which I mean it's it's the nature of the beast, I guess.
- 36:44SPEAKER_09: It is what it is.
- 36:45SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 36:45SPEAKER_09: So, you know.
- 36:47SPEAKER_09: I wonder if the uh I wonder if the closing of the Sanford one ownership.
- 36:51SPEAKER_12: Well, I was wondering if they took the stock and like spread it out among the other people.
- 36:55SPEAKER_09: Yeah, that's what I was gonna ask.
- 36:56SPEAKER_12: Yeah, because I thought there'd be a little bit more.
- 36:57SPEAKER_09: You can go online and order things and and and if they don't have it like at the Bangor store, they can get it from one of their other stores.
- 37:04SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 37:05SPEAKER_09: So uh I would imagine they spread it out somehow.
- 37:08SPEAKER_09: Oh, I'm sure, yeah.
- 37:10SPEAKER_12: Speaking of striper, yeah.
- 37:11SPEAKER_12: I I forgot to mention this last week.
- 37:14SPEAKER_12: Uh Michael Sweet hosted another listing party on the side.
- 37:17SPEAKER_09: I saw that he was gonna do was it Against the Law album?
- 37:18SPEAKER_09: Against the Law album.
- 37:19SPEAKER_12: Yeah, which is probably my least favorite.
- 37:21SPEAKER_09: That's what I thought I was gonna ask you about that because I knew that it that you didn't care for that one.
- 37:25SPEAKER_12: I didn't I did not care for it.
- 37:26SPEAKER_12: But it was interesting to be part of that.
- 37:29SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 37:30SPEAKER_12: Because he was very frank about what was going on.
- 37:35SPEAKER_09: Was it not his favorite album either?
- 37:36SPEAKER_12: He likes it, but they weren't in a weird it was it was because they've been, you know, they've always been Christian rock.
- 37:45SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 37:46SPEAKER_12: Christian heavy metal.
- 37:47SPEAKER_12: That album was their kind of rebellious stage.
- 37:50SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 37:51SPEAKER_12: Like the first album, the first song is called uh Against the Law or something like that.
- 37:55SPEAKER_10: Yeah, which is the title cut.
- 37:57SPEAKER_12: Yeah, which is actually just like he said this was his words, our middle finger to the church.
- 38:03SPEAKER_10: Really?
- 38:04SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 38:05SPEAKER_12: Apparently, this was a period of time where Stryper tried to be like a regular mainstream secular band.
- 38:12SPEAKER_12: I mean, they were out partying, drinking, yeah, you know, you know, women and all this stuff.
- 38:18SPEAKER_12: And I was like, whoa, interesting.
- 38:22SPEAKER_12: Um he said he said it was a real strain on his career, a real strain on his marriage.
- 38:27SPEAKER_12: Um, you know, he he said it was yeah, but he he likes a lot of the songs on the album though.
- 38:33SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 38:34SPEAKER_12: And so he went, you know, like he usually does on the listening parties, he went track by track and talked about him.
- 38:40SPEAKER_09: Did you get a question in?
- 38:42SPEAKER_12: No, he wasn't, he couldn't, he you know, because he's still dealing with that eye issue.
- 38:45SPEAKER_12: Oh yeah.
- 38:46SPEAKER_12: So the chat, I mean he he he kind of he just kind of scrolls to the chat, but he's he's he he was he couldn't really read anybody's thing.
- 38:54SPEAKER_12: He was having a hard time reading people's comments and stuff, so he didn't really take any questions.
- 38:59SPEAKER_12: Which was but it but it was interesting to you know, it's still interesting because Shining their cover of Shining Stars, which was all right, which is awesome.
- 39:06SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 39:07SPEAKER_12: And he said that uh he had heard it was their favorite version of one of their songs.
- 39:12SPEAKER_09: Um I remember playing that.
- 39:14SPEAKER_09: I when I when I worked at Q ninety six point one, yeah, I that was uh they released that song and we played it on the radio.
- 39:22SPEAKER_09: Oh yeah.
- 39:22SPEAKER_09: Q ninety six point one.
- 39:23SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 39:24SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 39:24SPEAKER_12: So it was it was cool.
- 39:26SPEAKER_12: It was you know, it's you know, I I just I just love ha when he does these listening parties because it's so cool to listen, like hear the stories that he tells about you know making these albums and stuff like that.
- 39:37SPEAKER_09: So Yeah.
- 39:38SPEAKER_09: And I wish more people did that.
- 39:39SPEAKER_09: I don't I don't know how many other people do that.
- 39:42SPEAKER_12: Well, I wish more of the band was involved because I'd like to hear you know, not so much like Perry Richardson, but uh, you know, like Oz and you know Robert.
- 39:51SPEAKER_12: Right.
- 39:51SPEAKER_12: I wish they were more involved in these listening parties, but you know, but you know, it's still cool listening to Michael talk about these.
- 40:01SPEAKER_00: What your life can truly be.
- 40:28SPEAKER_12: So the whole album was Yeah.
- 40:29SPEAKER_12: I mean it was them, but it wasn't them.
- 40:31SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 40:31SPEAKER_12: You know what I mean?
- 40:32SPEAKER_12: Yep.
- 40:33SPEAKER_12: I mean and he he kind of because when you when you when you watch him like talk about the when he's playing the songs, he's usually like air guitaring along or air drumming, you know, and he's doing he really didn't do much of that at this time.
- 40:48SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 40:49SPEAKER_12: He was more like, you know, he I mean he was like headbanging to the songs, and you could hear, you could see his mouth moving, like he was talking to I think because his wife runs the uh like the you know the the technical side while he's doing the thing.
- 41:04SPEAKER_12: So it looked like he was talking to her a lot.
- 41:07SPEAKER_12: But apparently, but he's he can't he said at one point, he's like, Oh, I didn't realize you guys couldn't hear me.
- 41:12SPEAKER_12: I was trying to, I was trying to tell things about this about the songs, and I didn't realize nobody can, and this was like almost the end of it.
- 41:19SPEAKER_12: He thought we could hear him, but we couldn't.
- 41:21SPEAKER_12: All we could see is his mouth moving.
- 41:23SPEAKER_12: So uh yeah.
- 41:24SPEAKER_09: I don't know if anybody's ever heard this.
- 41:27SPEAKER_09: Um but Michael Sweet from Striper.
- 41:31SPEAKER_09: Um this is live.
- 41:35SPEAKER_09: Actually sang for Boston.
- 41:37SPEAKER_09: Yes, for a little while.
- 41:38SPEAKER_09: He talked about that too for a little while.
- 41:40SPEAKER_09: Yep.
- 41:40SPEAKER_09: So this is him doing more than a feeling.
- 41:42SPEAKER_09: Yep.
- 41:49SPEAKER_11: Playing guitar too.
- 41:50SPEAKER_11: Yep.
- 42:01SPEAKER_12: Yeah, what is this one?
- 42:03SPEAKER_12: Never heard this.
- 42:14SPEAKER_09: Great voice.
- 42:15SPEAKER_09: Oh yeah.
- 42:20SPEAKER_11: You can lie, that's not him.
- 42:23SPEAKER_11: That's that's two people.
- 42:28SPEAKER_11: That's him playing guitar though, right?
- 42:30SPEAKER_11: He's my rhythm guitar.
- 42:31SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
- 42:39SPEAKER_09: We got the bison.
- 42:43SPEAKER_09: Okay, so I we just have to interrupt the broadcast to uh say that my wife just came downstairs.
- 42:49SPEAKER_09: They they caught the bison.
- 42:50SPEAKER_09: Oh, good.
- 42:51SPEAKER_09: Thanks to our tip, right?
- 42:53SPEAKER_09: It was, it was thanks to our tip.
- 42:56SPEAKER_09: They did.
- 42:56SPEAKER_11: Uh-huh.
- 42:57SPEAKER_11: I think we should get a year supply of bison.
- 42:59SPEAKER_11: A year supply of bison.
- 43:01SPEAKER_11: Absolutely.
- 43:03SPEAKER_11: So uh bison meat for everybody.
- 43:05SPEAKER_13: Buffalo Doug.
- 43:06SPEAKER_12: Buffalo Doug.
- 43:07SPEAKER_12: Um Buffalo Doug won't come out today.
- 43:10SPEAKER_09: So yeah, that was a nice little detour into uh squirrel.
- 43:13SPEAKER_09: Uh into Michael's sweet.
- 43:14SPEAKER_09: Uh no, you actually we were talking about something else and you you brought that up.
- 43:17SPEAKER_12: So yeah, I I like I said, it was this was like two weeks ago and I I forgot to mention it last week.
- 43:22SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 43:23SPEAKER_12: Just because again, it's not my favorite striper album.
- 43:26SPEAKER_12: Yep.
- 43:27SPEAKER_12: I have it, but it's not my favorite.
- 43:28SPEAKER_12: Right.
- 43:28SPEAKER_12: And and now I realize why it's not my favorite.
- 43:32SPEAKER_12: So um but it's it's still cool to hear the stories.
- 43:35SPEAKER_12: Right.
- 43:36SPEAKER_12: You know, yeah.
- 43:41SPEAKER_09: I mean, these listening parties are like two hours long, but you're you're you're I mean the whole time you're like And that's because you subscribe to his Patreon that you get all that stuff.
- 43:49SPEAKER_12: Well, I get striper's um subscribe to Striper's Patreon.
- 43:52SPEAKER_12: Right.
- 43:53SPEAKER_12: And then he does it on that, so it's it's like a Zoom meeting, you know.
- 43:55SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 43:56SPEAKER_12: But uh it's still cool.
- 43:57SPEAKER_12: I mean it's just how many people were on the call, do you know?
- 44:00SPEAKER_12: I have no idea.
- 44:01SPEAKER_12: I don't I don't there's no numbers.
- 44:02SPEAKER_12: Oh, there isn't.
- 44:03SPEAKER_12: No.
- 44:03SPEAKER_12: You j you see the chat and you see him.
- 44:06SPEAKER_12: Yep.
- 44:06SPEAKER_12: And then they'll like like half the screen is like him and the other half is the screen of the like they'll show like pictures of like the album cover or the you know like they were showing they have videos for the a couple of those songs on that album.
- 44:19SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 44:19SPEAKER_12: And they were showing like clips of the the videos.
- 44:22SPEAKER_10: Oh cool.
- 44:22SPEAKER_12: Yeah, it was kinda it was kinda neat because they uh cause you know they're known for yellow and black striping.
- 44:28SPEAKER_12: Yep.
- 44:28SPEAKER_12: Well in these ones there was blue and black.
- 44:31SPEAKER_12: So it w again it was them trying to get away from striper and being, you know, something else.
- 44:38SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 44:38SPEAKER_12: Which I I thought uh because as soon as I saw it, I was like, I was gonna put in the into the chat, I was like, is the the the striping, the the ch the color change part of your was it part of the band's identity to try to get away from the you know the Christian identity?
- 44:53SPEAKER_12: Right.
- 44:54SPEAKER_12: And then he he you know, like two seconds later he he said that yeah, you could tell in the in the video that you know we had blue and black striping and that was part of our you know new identity, you know, things like that.
- 45:05SPEAKER_09: He knew that you were gonna ask it, that's okay.
- 45:06SPEAKER_12: Yeah, because we he and I are cosmically connected.
- 45:09SPEAKER_12: Right.
- 45:10SPEAKER_12: You know, he Mike, give me a call.
- 45:12SPEAKER_12: What would Buffalo Dugs think?
- 45:14SPEAKER_12: What would Buffalo Dugs think right now?
- 45:16SPEAKER_12: He wants to know about the blue and black thing.
- 45:19SPEAKER_12: Hey Doug, give me some buffalo meat, will you?
- 45:22SPEAKER_09: Uh I'm trying to think of what else um was happening this past weekend.
- 45:27SPEAKER_09: Uh I did say I did see a couple of things on ultimate classicrock.com.
- 45:31SPEAKER_09: We won't get too deep into them, but I thought one of them, and I think we may have touched on this a little bit, uh, Jeff Pilson of Foreigner and Dawkins and and Revolution Saints.
- 45:41SPEAKER_09: Revolution Saints and uh every other band going on.
- 45:44SPEAKER_09: Every other band, right.
- 45:45SPEAKER_09: Um, he said the headline is Foreigner could go on without Mick Jones, but won't.
- 45:54SPEAKER_09: And this kind of go leads to a discussion that we had, uh we'd started a little while back, I think, um about like if Foreigner went on, but there were no original members, even though these members uh of Foreigner have been in the band for twenty years?
- 46:12SPEAKER_09: Right?
- 46:13SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 46:13SPEAKER_09: Twenty years uh and and Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons of Kiss have always said that because of the makeup, KISS could go on.
- 46:25SPEAKER_12: Well they could until they went without makeup.
- 46:28SPEAKER_12: If they had stayed with the makeup all the way to the water.
- 46:31SPEAKER_09: Well, they don't have to go without makeup because it's about the show for Kiss, right?
- 46:34SPEAKER_12: Yeah, I mean you can still do a KISS show and you know be KISS, you know.
- 46:39SPEAKER_09: So we and we've talked about it before.
- 46:42SPEAKER_09: So when does it become a tribute band?
- 46:46SPEAKER_09: Well, I think when When there's no original members?
- 46:48SPEAKER_12: When there's no original members left?
- 46:50SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 46:50SPEAKER_12: Even though Now, if those if they were doing songs that the members wrote and performed, yeah, then it's really not a tribute band anymore.
- 46:59SPEAKER_12: It's actually the band, but it's gone in a different direction, maybe.
- 47:02SPEAKER_09: So what you're saying, like if Foreigner, if if Mick uh If they never write another new song, yeah, it's a tribute band.
- 47:07SPEAKER_12: Then it becomes a tribute band.
- 47:09SPEAKER_09: So if Mick Jones dies, and Well, he will die at some point.
- 47:14SPEAKER_09: Uh probably soon, actually.
- 47:15SPEAKER_09: He's not gonna say he's not in great health.
- 47:17SPEAKER_09: He's not not been well.
- 47:18SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 47:18SPEAKER_09: Uh so Jeff Pilson and and um Kelly Hansen, the lead singer, if they wrote some new music, foreigner type music, like stayed in the vein of foreigner, like arena rock.
- 47:32SPEAKER_09: Well, they haven't to this point.
- 47:34SPEAKER_09: Is that what you're saying?
- 47:35SPEAKER_09: They have one original album with Kelly Hansen.
- 47:40SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 47:41SPEAKER_09: Um and it but it had McJones.
- 47:43SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 47:44SPEAKER_09: Um, and it's actually, I think, a fantastic album.
- 47:49SPEAKER_09: Um, and I wish they would do more, but they don't have to.
- 47:52SPEAKER_09: And a lot of bands are saying that these days because they don't need to put out new music because people don't buy it.
- 48:00SPEAKER_09: It's they stream it, you know.
- 48:02SPEAKER_09: And um they make their money touring.
- 48:07SPEAKER_09: So if Foreigner is gonna tour, they're gonna play the hits.
- 48:10SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 48:10SPEAKER_09: You know, they're gonna play all the songs but.
- 48:12SPEAKER_12: Well, that's where the money is now.
- 48:13SPEAKER_12: Right.
- 48:14SPEAKER_12: It's touring, it's not making albums anymore.
- 48:16SPEAKER_09: So, like, you remember we we talked about this one.
- 48:20SPEAKER_09: Um this is their only original album with Kelly Hansen on vocals.
- 48:30SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 48:31SPEAKER_09: Um and it's it's very foreigner, it's pop rock, you know.
- 48:42SPEAKER_09: Actually, a better one to play would be this one.
- 48:47SPEAKER_09: Yeah, that's foreigner, right?
- 48:50SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 48:50SPEAKER_09: So you're saying if Mick Jones passed away and wasn't in the band, and they've had these guys in the band who've been in the band for 20 years at least.
- 48:59SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 49:00SPEAKER_09: And they put up new music, they would still be Foreigner.
- 49:06SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 49:08SPEAKER_06: I don't know.
- 49:09SPEAKER_12: It's a gray area.
- 49:10SPEAKER_09: I don't disagree with you.
- 49:11SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 49:12SPEAKER_12: Um, I mean, they're in the band.
- 49:14SPEAKER_12: I mean, they didn't write the hits.
- 49:15SPEAKER_12: They didn't write uh, you know, they weren't on the Agent Provocator album.
- 49:20SPEAKER_12: Right.
- 49:20SPEAKER_12: You know?
- 49:21SPEAKER_12: But they've been in Foreigner so long that, you know, maybe people don't even realize that they're not the original members.
- 49:28SPEAKER_09: True.
- 49:29SPEAKER_09: Well, the younger fans probably.
- 49:30SPEAKER_12: Yeah, you know, the new generation.
- 49:32SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 49:32SPEAKER_09: And the older generation, do they really care?
- 49:35SPEAKER_12: I don't think so.
- 49:36SPEAKER_12: As long as long as you're still playing, you're staying true to the hits, right?
- 49:40SPEAKER_12: And you're not changing them up, then they're gonna be okay with it.
- 49:44SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 49:44SPEAKER_12: Like, you know, like I said, the uh you said the kiss, you know, kiss could go on with it, you know, and I I agree with that to a certain extent, but I mean it's gonna be.
- 49:52SPEAKER_12: But if it's not Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons and you know, uh who's Eric Carr now?
- 49:59SPEAKER_09: Eric Carr.
- 50:00SPEAKER_09: Uh no, uh uh is he still dormant for them?
- 50:02SPEAKER_09: No, it's Eric Singer.
- 50:04SPEAKER_12: Oh, it's Eric Singer, yes.
- 50:05SPEAKER_09: I knew it was an Eric.
- 50:06SPEAKER_09: And uh I'm trying to think of the guitar player's name.
- 50:09SPEAKER_12: It's not Ace.
- 50:10SPEAKER_09: Nope.
- 50:10SPEAKER_12: No, I don't remember him.
- 50:11SPEAKER_12: Uh it's some guitar player.
- 50:13SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 50:13SPEAKER_12: Um if it's not them, but they go back to the makeup, I mean, and then they're playing the hits.
- 50:20SPEAKER_09: I'm I'm sure it's they're playing the hits and they're putting the the show that Kiss puts on.
- 50:24SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 50:24SPEAKER_09: With the explosions and everything.
- 50:25SPEAKER_12: Then I guess it's it's still Kiss to a certain extent.
- 50:29SPEAKER_09: Even if they don't put out new music.
- 50:32SPEAKER_12: I mean, if they don't put out new music, then you just become a tribute band, right?
- 50:36SPEAKER_12: If you're not writing new KISS albums, ask Kiss.
- 50:39SPEAKER_12: Right.
- 50:40SPEAKER_12: Then yeah, then you're just a tribute band I at that point.
- 50:43SPEAKER_09: And I I well, I guess here's it doesn't really matter.
- 50:47SPEAKER_09: You know, because the music is what's important.
- 50:50SPEAKER_12: Yeah, no, I I don't think so.
- 50:52SPEAKER_12: I mean, as long as they're still I mean, if you're a fan of KISS, yeah, as long as KISS is still putting out music, you're not gonna really care who's doing it.
- 51:03SPEAKER_12: Okay, as long as the entity that is KISS is doing it.
- 51:07SPEAKER_09: Okay, so let's poke a hole in that.
- 51:10SPEAKER_09: So, Eddie Van Halen's gone.
- 51:13SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 51:14SPEAKER_09: Can you still have Van Halen?
- 51:17SPEAKER_09: You got Alex.
- 51:18SPEAKER_09: You still got Alex.
- 51:19SPEAKER_09: You got Wolfgang.
- 51:20SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 51:21SPEAKER_09: You got Roth or Hagar, you got Mike Anthony.
- 51:24SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 51:24SPEAKER_09: What if they went out on tour with a new guitar?
- 51:26SPEAKER_09: Actually, Wolfgang could play guitar.
- 51:28SPEAKER_11: Wolfgang could really play it.
- 51:29SPEAKER_09: Is that Van Halen?
- 51:30SPEAKER_09: Sure.
- 51:31SPEAKER_09: Yeah?
- 51:32SPEAKER_09: Without Eddie?
- 51:34SPEAKER_12: He's got Eddie's genes in him, so yeah.
- 51:37SPEAKER_12: It's the DNA.
- 51:39SPEAKER_09: And they're playing Van Halen.
- 51:41SPEAKER_12: So as far as I'm concerned, it would be Van Halen.
- 51:43SPEAKER_09: And I it doesn't look the same.
- 51:46SPEAKER_09: I agree with that.
- 51:48SPEAKER_09: But I think A, it would never happen.
- 51:51SPEAKER_09: No, it's not gonna happen.
- 51:52SPEAKER_09: I'm just gonna.
- 51:53SPEAKER_09: And and and B, I don't know.
- 51:57SPEAKER_09: It's weird because as a fan, you want to see it happen.
- 52:02SPEAKER_09: Just because it would be cool.
- 52:03SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 52:04SPEAKER_09: As a tribute to Eddie.
- 52:05SPEAKER_12: It's like if Alex Lifeson and Getty Lee went out and you know, got Mike Portnoy.
- 52:12SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 52:13SPEAKER_09: To drum for him.
- 52:14SPEAKER_09: Is that Rush?
- 52:16SPEAKER_09: Is it?
- 52:16SPEAKER_09: That's a quick question.
- 52:18SPEAKER_09: Well, okay, so Neil Peart was not the first drummer for Rush.
- 52:21SPEAKER_09: He was not their first drummer.
- 52:22SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 52:22SPEAKER_12: He's their most famous drummer.
- 52:24SPEAKER_12: Right.
- 52:24SPEAKER_12: But he wasn't the first drummer.
- 52:25SPEAKER_12: Like the first album is not Neil Peart.
- 52:28SPEAKER_12: Right.
- 52:28SPEAKER_12: So if they go out with Mike Portnoy and they just put on, you know, they're just doing the hits.
- 52:34SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 52:35SPEAKER_12: It's Rush.
- 52:36SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 52:37SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 52:38SPEAKER_12: You know.
- 52:39SPEAKER_12: Yeah, it's not Neil Peart, but.
- 52:41SPEAKER_09: They're playing rush songs.
- 52:43SPEAKER_12: They're playing rush songs.
- 52:44SPEAKER_12: Two of the original.
- 52:44SPEAKER_12: I see Getty.
- 52:45SPEAKER_12: I see Alex.
- 52:46SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 52:48SPEAKER_12: And I love Mike.
- 52:50SPEAKER_12: So there's Mike playing.
- 52:53SPEAKER_09: So was Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and Jason Bonham.
- 53:01SPEAKER_09: Was that Led Zeppelin?
- 53:03SPEAKER_12: I would say so.
- 53:04SPEAKER_12: Yeah, me too.
- 53:05SPEAKER_12: I mean, that's John Bonham's son.
- 53:07SPEAKER_12: I mean, I mean that's I mean that's as close as you're gonna get to John Bonham.
- 53:11SPEAKER_12: Yeah, I would too.
- 53:12SPEAKER_12: You know, he's not he didn't come up with the the drum tracks on those albums, right?
- 53:16SPEAKER_12: On those songs.
- 53:17SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 53:17SPEAKER_12: But he can play them.
- 53:19SPEAKER_12: Like his dad.
- 53:21SPEAKER_09: Um Pete Towns.
- 53:23SPEAKER_12: Because he was what, 13 when John passed away?
- 53:25SPEAKER_09: Something like that.
- 53:25SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 53:26SPEAKER_12: He was a teenager.
- 53:26SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 53:27SPEAKER_12: So I mean, you know.
- 53:28SPEAKER_09: Pete Towns and Roger Daltrey.
- 53:30SPEAKER_09: With a different bass player and a different drummer.
- 53:33SPEAKER_09: Is that the who?
- 53:34SPEAKER_12: Yeah, because I I I think.
- 53:36SPEAKER_12: Well, I mean, they're not gonna replace the personality that was Keith Moon.
- 53:40SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 53:40SPEAKER_09: But they did replace Kenny Jones.
- 53:42SPEAKER_09: I was just I was just playing you Kenny Jones.
- 53:43SPEAKER_12: Yeah, exactly.
- 53:46SPEAKER_12: They're still doing who songs.
- 53:48SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 53:48SPEAKER_12: There's Roger Daltrey, there's Pete Townsend.
- 53:50SPEAKER_12: There's, you know.
- 53:52SPEAKER_12: As far as I'm concerned, that's the Who.
- 53:54SPEAKER_12: Right.
- 53:54SPEAKER_09: Just it's just not the same guys.
- 53:56SPEAKER_09: And you know, it's funny.
- 53:58SPEAKER_09: The older I get, then you know, the more.
- 54:01SPEAKER_12: Where it would get weird if it was like, you know, if you're gonna, you know, there's a band out there calling themselves the Who, but it's like nobody that you've ever heard of.
- 54:12SPEAKER_12: Right.
- 54:12SPEAKER_12: And they're playing completely different music, then you're like, well, is this the Who?
- 54:18SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 54:18SPEAKER_12: It doesn't look like doesn't sound like the Who.
- 54:20SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 54:22SPEAKER_09: As a the older I get, the more I don't care.
- 54:25SPEAKER_09: Because I and I see I see because as a music lover, I see why a lot of people don't care.
- 54:32SPEAKER_09: Like for example, um one of our friends, um, Sean in Fort in Fort Fairfield.
- 54:38SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 54:39SPEAKER_09: Uh I remember not too long ago he went to a um Pink Floyd uh show that was a tribute band.
- 54:49SPEAKER_09: But he said it was it was amazing.
- 54:54SPEAKER_09: The music was perfect.
- 54:55SPEAKER_09: Okay, the light show was perfect, the smoke was perfect, he was entertained, he loves the music of Pink Floyd, it sounded like Pink Floyd, and it's the music that matters.
- 55:07SPEAKER_09: Yeah, you know?
- 55:08SPEAKER_12: Well well, take Joko.
- 55:10SPEAKER_12: He was in that uh Beatles show.
- 55:12SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 55:13SPEAKER_12: I mean, it's four guys, it's not the Beatles, not the Beatles, right?
- 55:16SPEAKER_12: But they were playing Beatles songs, they looked like you know, they were dressed up as the Beatles as as they progressed.
- 55:21SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 55:22SPEAKER_12: It was a great show.
- 55:23SPEAKER_12: It was.
- 55:24SPEAKER_12: It was a really great show.

- 56:22SPEAKER_09: Oh yeah.
- 56:23SPEAKER_12: Uh yeah, I mean I I I mean it's just you're right.
- 56:26SPEAKER_12: The music it's the music that matters, and it doesn't really matter who's playing as long as they're staying true to the music that you think it's supposed to be.
- 56:34SPEAKER_09: I mean you that you don't want you do want them to have some sort of connection.
- 56:38SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 56:38SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 56:38SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 56:39SPEAKER_09: So I I I get that.
- 56:40SPEAKER_09: Yeah, I get that.
- 56:41SPEAKER_09: So uh anyway, I just saw that headline that Jeff Pilsen said for it could go on, but they're not going to.
- 56:46SPEAKER_12: Yeah, and I get that too.
- 56:48SPEAKER_09: Kind of like Led Zeppelin.
- 56:48SPEAKER_09: Led Zeppelin's like they they could get a different drummer.
- 56:51SPEAKER_09: They could have got Jason.
- 56:52SPEAKER_12: Yeah, they could have yeah, a long time ago.
- 56:54SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 56:54SPEAKER_09: And and um kept going.
- 56:56SPEAKER_09: Kept going, but you know, they didn't want to do it without without Bonzo.
- 57:00SPEAKER_09: I get that.
- 57:01SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 57:01SPEAKER_09: You know, so right.
- 57:04SPEAKER_09: So um yeah, that's that.
- 57:07SPEAKER_09: That's it.
- 57:07SPEAKER_09: I can't think of any other uh the there weren't any other headlines really that I was interested in.
- 57:12SPEAKER_09: A couple of people announcing tours, Doobie Brothers going out on tour.
- 57:15SPEAKER_09: That's cool.
- 57:16SPEAKER_09: Um oh a Megadeth reunited with Marty Friedman.
- 57:19SPEAKER_09: Oh, really?
- 57:19SPEAKER_09: Yeah, interesting.
- 57:20SPEAKER_09: I think it was a one-time thing.
- 57:22SPEAKER_09: Um this was uh they released this yesterday.
- 57:26SPEAKER_09: I think it was, let's see, uh, on stage in Tokyo over the weekend, marking his first live performance with the Thrashers in more than two decades.
- 57:33SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 57:34SPEAKER_09: Um the reunion took place at the famed Nippon Boudicon and was live streamed to fans who purchased tickets.
- 57:40SPEAKER_09: Um I'm trying to say, see if it was I think it was just a one-time thing because he lives in Japan.
- 57:45SPEAKER_12: Yeah, I was about to say he lives there.
- 57:47SPEAKER_09: So I think Megadeth must be on must have been on tour and he's right.
- 57:51SPEAKER_12: But he was my favorite uh Megadeth guitarist.
- 57:53SPEAKER_09: Yeah, I think so too.
- 57:54SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 57:54SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 57:55SPEAKER_09: Um there's a story on here about how uh did Mr.
- 57:59SPEAKER_09: Roboto really end Styx Classic Era?
- 58:02SPEAKER_09: Uh why Dennis DeYoung never wanted Mr.
- 58:04SPEAKER_09: Roboto to be a Styx single.
- 58:06SPEAKER_09: Um I don't know.
- 58:10SPEAKER_09: Twenty-five under the radar albums from 1973.
- 58:15SPEAKER_09: 1973, I think, was a good year for music, but uh yeah.
- 58:19SPEAKER_09: Not the one that I think of.
- 58:21SPEAKER_09: You know, like when you think of great years for music, 73 wasn't one of them.
- 58:25SPEAKER_09: No.
- 58:25SPEAKER_09: Uh not really, no.
- 58:26SPEAKER_09: There were some some good.
- 58:27SPEAKER_09: Of course, I was only one at the time, so I was uh well, I was born.
- 58:31SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 58:32SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 58:32SPEAKER_09: So um yeah, so that's all I can think of for uh for ultimate classic rock uh stories.
- 58:38SPEAKER_09: So let's on that note, let's do this.
- 58:42SPEAKER_12: Let's uh let's let's let's let's read stuff.
- 58:46SPEAKER_09: Let's hear from Beck Finer.
- 58:49SPEAKER_12: Yes, because it's always interesting to what Becky's gonna say.
- 58:52SPEAKER_09: Uh do you know what letter we're on?
- 58:54SPEAKER_09: We are on uh is it S?
- 58:57SPEAKER_09: No eight.

- 59:25SPEAKER_09: It's all country.
- 59:26SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 59:28SPEAKER_09: If I picked from that, would it even be worth you trying to guess who it is?
- 59:32SPEAKER_09: Maybe.
- 59:33SPEAKER_09: So you want to try that and do that just to mix it up?
- 59:34SPEAKER_12: Yeah, why not?
- 59:35SPEAKER_09: Okay.

- 1:01:42SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 1:01:43SPEAKER_09: And then there's pop culture.

- 1:01:45SPEAKER_09: And she's they've become mixed, you know.
- 1:01:49SPEAKER_12: Yeah, and and as anybody knows me knows that if it's popular, I'm probably gonna hate it.
- 1:01:56SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 1:01:56SPEAKER_09: And you know the funny thing is, is my daughter uh had a big Taylor Swift kick.
- 1:02:00SPEAKER_09: She had a poster and everything, and she has had every Taylor Swift album, I think, up until Red or whatever that album was.
- 1:02:07SPEAKER_09: Um she's lost interest in Taylor Swift.
- 1:02:09SPEAKER_09: She got she just got too big and just, you know, um she's not a doer anymore.

- 1:03:31SPEAKER_12: This song opens the legendary album of the same name.
- 1:03:35SPEAKER_12: Certainly a thrill.
- 1:03:37SPEAKER_12: It mixes rock and roll, marching band, brass, and theatrics to set the scene for 1967's so-called Summer of Love.
- 1:03:45SPEAKER_12: We hope you will enjoy the show.

- 1:20:15SPEAKER_02: First time I heard Johnny Cat sing I walked alight.
- 1:20:20SPEAKER_09: That's kinda cool.
- 1:20:21SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I got my thrill behind.
- 1:20:25SPEAKER_09: This one's kinda neat, just the just the title alone.
- 1:20:33SPEAKER_02: Night after night, day after day.
- 1:20:41SPEAKER_02: I pass by the house that once was my home.
- 1:20:49SPEAKER_02: I'm looking for something to knock out the light till the sun comes up shining like new The chill in my bones just reminds me that light isn't bad attention A battle school surviving on hard not to fight in a world just as nasty as petty ish about the baby blue it's got a petty it is very petty, yeah.
- 1:21:36SPEAKER_09: Like literally petty and a petty vibe.
- 1:21:38SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 1:21:40SPEAKER_02: The curve of your hips and your black Irish hair.
- 1:21:44SPEAKER_02: Send a shiver that runs to me too.
- 1:21:49SPEAKER_02: You don't know how much I hate you.
- 1:21:52SPEAKER_02: I wish it was true.
- 1:21:55SPEAKER_09: That's great.
- 1:21:56SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 1:21:57SPEAKER_09: So anyway, that's not and that's not from the album that I that I chose.
- 1:22:00SPEAKER_09: The album that I chose is called Life is Messy.
- 1:22:04SPEAKER_09: Um it's not for me to judge what kind of love, loving all nights, life is messy.
- 1:22:09SPEAKER_09: Um hardly know how to myself.
- 1:22:14SPEAKER_09: Uh it don't get better than this.
- 1:22:16SPEAKER_09: Alone but not alone.
- 1:22:18SPEAKER_09: Let's make trouble.
- 1:22:19SPEAKER_09: The answer is yes, and maybe next time.
- 1:22:21SPEAKER_09: That's the track listing for Life is Missing.
- 1:22:24SPEAKER_09: Oh, by the way, did you hear the new song from Brad Paisley?
- 1:22:27SPEAKER_12: I have not.
- 1:22:28SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 1:22:29SPEAKER_09: I've been kind of avoiding it.
- 1:22:31SPEAKER_09: I wanted to avoid it.
- 1:22:34SPEAKER_09: Um just because why have you been avoiding it?
- 1:22:39SPEAKER_12: Well, because it's got the president of Ukraine on there.
- 1:22:41SPEAKER_12: Yeah, and that's I have no idea why.
- 1:22:44SPEAKER_09: And that's that's why I was trying to avoid it as well.
- 1:22:47SPEAKER_09: But I was really, really curious because he just switched record labels.
- 1:22:50SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 1:22:50SPEAKER_09: And he's got a new album coming out.
- 1:22:52SPEAKER_09: So I wanted to hear it.
- 1:22:54SPEAKER_09: And it does have President Vl Vladimir Zelensky on it.
- 1:23:00SPEAKER_09: Um it's not how you think it's very Brad Paisley.
- 1:23:07SPEAKER_09: Oh, I'm sure.
- 1:23:08SPEAKER_09: It's a very Brad Paisley song.
- 1:23:09SPEAKER_09: Um, I'm gonna play a piece of it.
- 1:23:12SPEAKER_09: Just since we're on a country track right here.
- 1:23:18SPEAKER_03: And when you Hour things in California, I hear the traffic's just insane, plastic people and paparazzi.
- 1:23:34SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I know all the left coast cliches.
- 1:23:39SPEAKER_03: Tell me there a bar on your corner where you buy each other beers, solve all the world's problems.
- 1:23:57SPEAKER_09: So I resisted because I saw his name too, only because, and this is this is not a political thing, um, you know, because what's going on in Ukraine is awful for the Ukrainian people, and and you know, you want to help out as much as you can, but there's just something that's not sitting well with me about the whole thing.
- 1:24:16SPEAKER_09: I don't know what it is, but about the whole situation over there.
- 1:24:21SPEAKER_12: It's very sus.
- 1:24:23SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 1:24:24unknown: Yeah.
- 1:24:24SPEAKER_12: As the kids would say.
- 1:24:25SPEAKER_12: Yeah, it is.
- 1:24:26SPEAKER_09: It is.
- 1:24:27SPEAKER_09: Um so I didn't want to listen to this because it it just seemed too soon and too um well I don't know how to put it.
- 1:24:38SPEAKER_09: Political.
- 1:24:39SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 1:24:40SPEAKER_09: You know.
- 1:24:40SPEAKER_12: Well, it's not it's not political, but it's it's like you're you're cashing in on Yeah, it's like it's like it's like it's like the cause du jour.
- 1:24:50SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 1:24:51SPEAKER_12: You know what I mean?
- 1:24:52SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 1:24:52SPEAKER_09: So well, the way he does it here is is not necessarily a bad thing.
- 1:24:57SPEAKER_09: Um let me just play this.
- 1:25:05SPEAKER_03: We went out to watch the sunset.
- 1:25:10SPEAKER_03: Our last night in Cazo Stumbled on some local wedding.
- 1:25:29SPEAKER_03: Recognized people crying.
- 1:26:13SPEAKER_09: Very Brad Paisley.
- 1:26:14SPEAKER_09: Oh, it's a classic Brad Paisley.
- 1:26:16SPEAKER_09: Very Brad Paisley.
- 1:26:17SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 1:26:17SPEAKER_09: I always uh kind of uh um somebody was asking me about it and I do like that line.
- 1:26:22SPEAKER_12: Uh I didn't recognize the language.
- 1:26:24SPEAKER_12: Er I didn't understand the language, but I recognized the tears.
- 1:26:28SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 1:26:28SPEAKER_12: That's a great line.
- 1:26:28SPEAKER_12: Yeah, great line.
- 1:26:30SPEAKER_12: Brad Paisley always likes you always got great lines.
- 1:26:32SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 1:26:33SPEAKER_09: Um, and so this next verse is about you know what you would assume is is Ukraine.
- 1:26:40SPEAKER_03: Uh I've got a friend across the ocean.
- 1:26:48SPEAKER_03: Seems like a million miles away.
- 1:26:52SPEAKER_03: He says our worlds are very different.
- 1:26:57SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that's true, but I gotta say he's got his own kind of football team that gets them down every year.
- 1:27:11SPEAKER_03: Wifey loves and a bunch of dreams for his country he holds so dear.
- 1:27:21SPEAKER_03: Praise for peace and freedom.
- 1:27:25SPEAKER_03: Sing.
- 1:27:28SPEAKER_09: So this is where it comes in.
- 1:27:31SPEAKER_09: It starts as like a zoom call, I think.
- 1:27:36SPEAKER_03: Hi, Brent.
- 1:27:37SPEAKER_03: Hello, Mr.
- 1:27:37SPEAKER_03: President.
- 1:27:38SPEAKER_03: Happy to see you.
- 1:27:39SPEAKER_03: What's the same here in Ukrainian?
- 1:27:41SPEAKER_01: Daksam.
- 1:27:42SPEAKER_01: We speak different languages in our life.
- 1:27:45SPEAKER_01: Yes, but I think we appreciate the same things: children, freedom, our flag, our soldiers, our people, the biggest treasure we have.
- 1:28:00SPEAKER_01: And friends, and we are proud of our army who defends our freedom and will defend our lives.
- 1:28:10SPEAKER_09: And that's uh and that's his his oh okay.
- 1:28:13SPEAKER_09: You know, so I mean it's very Brad Paisley, you know, he's yeah, just sending out a positive vibe and trying to bring the world back together.
- 1:28:20SPEAKER_09: So um but I was I was like, oh why what did he do there when he put the president there?
- 1:28:26SPEAKER_09: And just you know.
- 1:28:27SPEAKER_09: Um but it was it was good, I guess.
- 1:28:30SPEAKER_12: Yeah, it's it's it's well done.
- 1:28:32SPEAKER_12: Yeah, it's well done.
- 1:28:32SPEAKER_12: It's well done.
- 1:28:33SPEAKER_12: I wish they would explain these things better.
- 1:28:35SPEAKER_09: I know, right?
- 1:28:35SPEAKER_09: Instead of just saying Brad Paisley featuring President Zelensky.
- 1:28:40SPEAKER_12: What's he saying back up for you?
- 1:28:42SPEAKER_12: Right, exactly.
- 1:28:43SPEAKER_12: What's going on?
- 1:28:43SPEAKER_12: Yeah, is he is he some sort of like bass player?
- 1:28:47SPEAKER_12: Maybe maybe he's a bass player.
- 1:28:48SPEAKER_12: I don't know.
- 1:28:49SPEAKER_12: I don't know Zelensky.
- 1:28:51SPEAKER_09: So he does a lot, but I just what I just read somebody's comment on this because I played it off YouTube.
- 1:28:58SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 1:28:59SPEAKER_09: Somebody's comment on this is, and I think you'll get this.
- 1:29:03SPEAKER_09: You will listen to this song and be happy, Klaus Schwab, 2023.
- 1:29:13SPEAKER_09: Okay, yeah.
- 1:29:14SPEAKER_09: So we're just gonna drop it right there.
- 1:29:16SPEAKER_09: Good one.
- 1:29:18SPEAKER_09: But you know, I and I heard it, and yes, it's Brad Paisley, and it sounds like Brad Paisley.
- 1:29:24SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 1:29:25SPEAKER_12: And but I'm gonna be honest, I started tuning out after the uh Moonshine in the Trunk?
- 1:29:31SPEAKER_12: Yes.
- 1:29:32SPEAKER_12: Yes, that album was just I did not care for it at all.
- 1:29:36SPEAKER_12: And then after that, I just stopped paying attention.
- 1:29:38SPEAKER_12: Because up until then, I love Brad.
- 1:29:41SPEAKER_12: Every time Brad Paisley came out with an album, and I got it.
- 1:29:44SPEAKER_09: Yeah, me too.
- 1:29:45SPEAKER_12: You know, and then I got that Moonshine in the trunk, and I was like, ugh.
- 1:29:48SPEAKER_09: Yeah, it was it was a piece of crap.
- 1:29:50SPEAKER_09: It was uh it was definitely a departure, and he'd been uh he'd been hanging out with uh Hunter Hayes.
- 1:29:55SPEAKER_09: And Hunter Hayes.
- 1:29:57SPEAKER_09: Hunter Hayes is uh is a young, very, very talented country performer.
- 1:30:01SPEAKER_09: Well, I'm sure, bro.
- 1:30:02SPEAKER_09: Um but he was um he's a kind of like a uh kind of like an Ed Sheeran for the country format.
- 1:30:10SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 1:30:10SPEAKER_09: He cuts things up and and splices them and mixes and puts them back together and and it just it didn't work for Paisley.
- 1:30:20SPEAKER_09: Well, I mean, I shouldn't say that.
- 1:30:22SPEAKER_09: A lot of people like that album.
- 1:30:23SPEAKER_09: Well, I'm sure there were some good songs.
- 1:30:25SPEAKER_12: I just didn't care for it.
- 1:30:26SPEAKER_09: Well, I'll give you an example.
- 1:30:27SPEAKER_09: This is one of the songs from it.
- 1:30:32SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 1:30:33SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 1:30:33SPEAKER_09: That's just too much.
- 1:30:34SPEAKER_09: Yeah, I just here we go.
- 1:30:39SPEAKER_09: It's just too much.
- 1:30:40SPEAKER_03: It's like very one, two dollars on a scratch off ticket.
- 1:30:48SPEAKER_09: Now the songs themselves, by themselves, probably would be great.
- 1:30:51SPEAKER_09: If it was redone, like more like Brad Paisley's time.
- 1:30:55SPEAKER_09: Shane was saying that he's seen Brad Paisley in concert, and he when he does songs from Moonshining the Trunk, they don't have this production.
- 1:31:01SPEAKER_09: Obviously, you can't.
- 1:31:02SPEAKER_09: Yeah, because I'm sure it's way better.
- 1:31:03SPEAKER_09: Well, this song right here is a great song.
- 1:31:11SPEAKER_09: Crushing it.
- 1:31:12SPEAKER_09: Oh, yeah.
- 1:31:13SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 1:31:14SPEAKER_09: Probably the best song of the album.
- 1:31:15SPEAKER_09: One of the best albums.
- 1:31:22SPEAKER_03: But the I sure could use an atta boy or a big old high five.
- 1:31:30SPEAKER_03: I'd love to hear you're killing it, dude.
- 1:31:33SPEAKER_03: It's been a long time since I have out of the parker nailed it, as they say.
- 1:31:38SPEAKER_09: This was in 2014 that that one came out.

- 1:32:17SPEAKER_09: Yeah, I didn't like that one either.
- 1:32:18SPEAKER_09: Um but you know every it's subjective.
- 1:32:23SPEAKER_12: I mean, the But you know, I mean, but I still love Brad Paisley.
