Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Hey, Discos, need a little more Disgraceland in your life,
- 0:05Speaker 1: just to touch to get you through. Yeah, me too.
- 0:08Speaker 1: This is the podcast that comes after the podcast. Welcome
- 0:12Speaker 1: to Disgraceland, the after party. Welcome to the Disgraceland bonus episode,
- 0:30Speaker 1: a little thing we like to call the after party.
- 0:32Speaker 1: This is the show after the show, the party after
- 0:35Speaker 1: the party of the bridge to get you from one
- 0:36Speaker 1: full episode of Disgraceland to the other, the backyard to
- 0:39Speaker 1: dig into the dirt. On this bonus episode, we are
- 0:42Speaker 1: talking about this week's full episode subject, Beastie Boys. We've
- 0:46Speaker 1: got gnarly stories of rock and roll animalism from you guys,
- 0:49Speaker 1: artists who want to control their stories and how they
- 0:52Speaker 1: do it, and well your voicemails, text DMS emails and
- 0:56Speaker 1: as always, a whole lot of rosie. All right, Discos,
- 0:59Speaker 1: let's get into it all right, big thanks to everyone
- 1:13Speaker 1: who got in touch with praise for the Basti Boys
- 1:15Speaker 1: episode that we just released. Who I had to say,
- 1:19Speaker 1: this was not an easy episode to write. It was
- 1:22Speaker 1: super hard. Actually, one of the hardest stories to tell
- 1:25Speaker 1: of all the episodes that we've done. I don't know
- 1:28Speaker 1: if you guys have seen Beastie Boys Story on Apple
- 1:30Speaker 1: TV Plus or if you've had a chance to read
- 1:32Speaker 1: Beastie Boys Book, the book Mike D and Adrock published
- 1:35Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, and the accompanying live performance.
- 1:39Speaker 1: They're both great. They're both essentially the same thing. Both stories.
- 1:44Speaker 1: The Beastie Boys Story which is again the live thing
- 1:47Speaker 1: they did for Apple, and Beastie Boys Book. They're essentially
- 1:49Speaker 1: the same story. The Apple things like an adaptation of
- 1:52Speaker 1: the book. Both great, both awesome, So if you haven't
- 1:55Speaker 1: seen it or read it, do both. Highly recommend. Calling
- 2:00Speaker 1: Beastie Boys Book a book isn't accurate because it's so
- 2:05Speaker 1: much more. This thing is like an exploding artifact of
- 2:08Speaker 1: eighties and nineties culture with the story of the Beastie
- 2:11Speaker 1: Boys weaved throughout it. It's Mike D an ad Rock
- 2:15Speaker 1: telling their story, along with contributions from friends of theirs
- 2:18Speaker 1: who are there telling added supplemental stories to fill in
- 2:21Speaker 1: the gaps, and then there's all the amazing photography and
- 2:25Speaker 1: artwork that documented the Bac Boys career that's all peppered through.
- 2:28Speaker 1: It's just truly, truly great. But the thing that's really
- 2:33Speaker 1: special about Beastie Boys Book and Beastie Boys story is
- 2:36Speaker 1: Mike d in ad Rock's storytelling. These guys are thoroughly
- 2:42Speaker 1: in command of their own voice. When they're writing, it
- 2:45Speaker 1: sounds exactly like they speak. They are natural gifted storytellers,
- 2:52Speaker 1: as you can imagine. Usually, I get an autobiography from
- 2:55Speaker 1: an artist to use for my research for a podcast episode,
- 2:58Speaker 1: and I am salivating. Autobiographies are the best, especially ones
- 3:03Speaker 1: from the artists who are active before two thousand. They
- 3:05Speaker 1: tend to feature the musician flexing, either overtly or low
- 3:09Speaker 1: key flexing all their shitty behavior, I should say, trying
- 3:13Speaker 1: to live up to their rock and roll behavior. The
- 3:16Speaker 1: Beasties are, of course too classy for that. They acknowledge
- 3:20Speaker 1: their shitty behavior generally speaking, and they have pretty much
- 3:24Speaker 1: complete humility about it and are sincerely contrite, and thus
- 3:28Speaker 1: they absolve themselves pretty good. So it's hard to find
- 3:32Speaker 1: those moments in their story where I could be like, guys,
- 3:34Speaker 1: can you believe these fuckers admitted to adopting their fourteen
- 3:36Speaker 1: year old girlfriends? Their holy shit, Miked was in a
- 3:39Speaker 1: threesome with Sam the Butcher and Alice from the Brady Bunch.
- 3:42Speaker 1: None of that kind of stuff is in the book.
- 3:44Speaker 1: Now you read like you know, the Rick James autobiography.
- 3:47Speaker 1: That's a different story. Okay, not to say that there
- 3:50Speaker 1: aren't wild stories in Beastie Boys book. That there are,
- 3:54Speaker 1: but nothing really rises to the level of crime. So
- 3:58Speaker 1: for the London crime wave and the Columbus George obscenity
- 4:01Speaker 1: charges that are in the episode, all that stuff, I
- 4:03Speaker 1: had to go outside the book to find that information.
- 4:05Speaker 1: But that that wasn't really the problem. The problem is
- 4:09Speaker 1: that of all the incredible stories in the book that
- 4:12Speaker 1: make up the Beastie Boys backstory, their upbringing, their rise
- 4:16Speaker 1: to fame, Mike d and Ad Rock tell their story
- 4:20Speaker 1: better than anyone else could ever possibly tell their story,
- 4:25Speaker 1: so it was really hard trying to find a way
- 4:28Speaker 1: to do their history justice. I spent two weeks just
- 4:33Speaker 1: gleefully researching this episode because I love this band so much,
- 4:37Speaker 1: and when I was done, I felt completely fucked. I
- 4:40Speaker 1: felt like what am I going to do now? And
- 4:42Speaker 1: thankfully there were those crime elements that I could lean into,
- 4:46Speaker 1: the crime wave, the Georgia thing I mentioned. There was
- 4:48Speaker 1: also the Liverpool riot that's in the book. I found
- 4:51Speaker 1: that Puerto Rican street gang fight story with John Joseph
- 4:54Speaker 1: and the Cromags. I found that elsewhere and I was
- 4:57Speaker 1: able to stitch together something for a narrative that I
- 5:00Speaker 1: wasn't sure was going to be compelling enough for a
- 5:02Speaker 1: podcast episode. But it seems that you guys liked it
- 5:05Speaker 1: a lot, so I am very very happy about this.
- 5:08Speaker 1: I love this band, I pretty much always have, and
- 5:12Speaker 1: I know from your feedback that that love of mine
- 5:16Speaker 1: comes across in the episode and that makes me happy. Okay,
- 5:20Speaker 1: that's all I just wanted to say that. But back
- 5:21Speaker 1: to the idea of artists telling their own story, that's
- 5:24Speaker 1: the main point. Zeth and I were talking about this
- 5:27Speaker 1: last week. Zeth works, he writes a bunch of episodes, researches,
- 5:31Speaker 1: does all kinds of stuff for Disgray Sand and we
- 5:33Speaker 1: were talking about this last week and how this relates
- 5:36Speaker 1: to what we do here in Disgraysan. The whole artists
- 5:39Speaker 1: telling their own story thing. Artists are, as you can imagine,
- 5:42Speaker 1: supremely interested. Not just the Beastie boys. Most artists who
- 5:45Speaker 1: reach a certain point in their career become very interested
- 5:48Speaker 1: in their legacies and they get real interested in the
- 5:51Speaker 1: telling of their stories. They want their story out there,
- 5:54Speaker 1: not someone else's version of their story. The Beastie Boys
- 5:57Speaker 1: story is one of three friends who loved each other
- 6:00Speaker 1: and loved great music and made great music with a
- 6:03Speaker 1: lot of love that a whole lot of other people love.
- 6:06Speaker 1: That's a beautiful story. Sure, they fucked up a lot
- 6:09Speaker 1: of kids, but they've come clean about it, so we've
- 6:11Speaker 1: forgiven them, and their honesty makes all the wild shit
- 6:15Speaker 1: that they're on record is having done easier for us
- 6:18Speaker 1: to swallow. That's the story the Beastie Boys want out there.
- 6:22Speaker 1: That's the story the Beastie Boys want us to know.
- 6:25Speaker 1: It also has the benefit of being true, so that helps.
- 6:28Speaker 1: But nevertheless, the Beastie Boys are responsible for this story
- 6:31Speaker 1: being the story. They framed this story, and they told
- 6:34Speaker 1: it perfectly, a story that very well could have been
- 6:36Speaker 1: a much different narrative. If they didn't get out ahead
- 6:39Speaker 1: of it and shape our perception of their past, their
- 6:42Speaker 1: story very well could have been something much different like story.
- 6:45Speaker 1: Three friends who are alcoholic, misogynistic homophobes invented the dreaded
- 6:50Speaker 1: rap rock genre. It gave us limp fucking biscuit, and
- 6:52Speaker 1: then made an obscure record no one bought before taking
- 6:55Speaker 1: over alternination in the nineties by appropriating black music and
- 6:58Speaker 1: then banged a lot of chicks, did a lot of drugs,
- 7:00Speaker 1: one dude died, and they faded into irrelevance. Okay, it
- 7:04Speaker 1: would take a lot of collective ignorance for that to
- 7:07Speaker 1: be the story, but it's not completely out of the
- 7:09Speaker 1: realm of possibility. With enough framing and enough sort of
- 7:13Speaker 1: readjusting of a lens, that very well could have been
- 7:15Speaker 1: the Beastie Boys story. So you can understand why Beastie Boys,
- 7:20Speaker 1: like most artists, want to control their story. They understandably
- 7:24Speaker 1: have an interest in getting the story they want to
- 7:26Speaker 1: be told about themselves to be the official narrative. Can
- 7:30Speaker 1: you blame them? I cannot, But I've seen egregious versions
- 7:35Speaker 1: of this motivation with artists in the past, Artists offering
- 7:38Speaker 1: to collaborate with their biographers so they can control their story,
- 7:42Speaker 1: catch and kill efforts, litigation, massive gazillion dollar pr efforts,
- 7:48Speaker 1: pathetic big budget Hollywood biopics that service massive whitewash campaigns,
- 7:53Speaker 1: and what happens is a very dubious version of the
- 7:58Speaker 1: artist's history then become helms the public record, the official narrative. Well,
- 8:03Speaker 1: we're here to disrupt that narrative. Now, we didn't need
- 8:08Speaker 1: to do that with the Beastie Boys, in large part
- 8:10Speaker 1: because they owned all their bullshit, like I said, which
- 8:13Speaker 1: is commendable, and they also told their story, like I
- 8:16Speaker 1: also said, better than anyone else could. The story I
- 8:20Speaker 1: told is a love story in a lot of ways.
- 8:23Speaker 1: It's about my love for this band despite their fuck ups. Okay,
- 8:28Speaker 1: And I think that resonated with some people, which is
- 8:30Speaker 1: awesome and I'm happy. But I didn't know it was
- 8:32Speaker 1: going to work. I was going to resonate, and I'm
- 8:33Speaker 1: happy it did. Okay, But again back to the artist
- 8:37Speaker 1: controlling their story and the more egregious versions of this,
- 8:40Speaker 1: not the Beastie Boys version of this. Okay, consider this.
- 8:43Speaker 1: Last week I noticed a comment on one of our
- 8:46Speaker 1: episodes on Spotify where a listener claimed I was lying
- 8:49Speaker 1: about an anecdote in one of our Beatles episodes. It's
- 8:53Speaker 1: the story of a maid in one of the hotels
- 8:56Speaker 1: they were staying in on tour being slashed by a
- 8:58Speaker 1: crazy fan. Stabbed. So we dove back into the research.
- 9:03Speaker 1: I wanted to see where I got this info. That
- 9:05Speaker 1: episode originally came out years ago. I don't you know,
- 9:08Speaker 1: we obviously traffic in a lot of information. I didn't
- 9:11Speaker 1: know exactly where that came from, but I knew I
- 9:13Speaker 1: didn't make it up, so we went back in to
- 9:15Speaker 1: check it out. It came from a book written about
- 9:18Speaker 1: the Beatles by Peter Brown, who's the band's press agent,
- 9:21Speaker 1: essentially their publicist. The book was written after the Beatles
- 9:25Speaker 1: broke up. This part of Peter Brown's story also featured
- 9:29Speaker 1: an anecdote that I incorporated into my story about having
- 9:33Speaker 1: something to do with Japanese assassins wanting to kill the Beatles. Now,
- 9:36Speaker 1: Peter Brown was there for both events. Now, I don't
- 9:40Speaker 1: know if he was actually, you know, physically, and I
- 9:43Speaker 1: believe the mad thing happened in Houston, and the assassin thing,
- 9:46Speaker 1: like I said, happened in Japan. I'm not sure if
- 9:48Speaker 1: he was actually physically there. I presume he was, but
- 9:54Speaker 1: he was definitely part of the Beatles camp at that time.
- 9:57Speaker 1: So he recounts these stories in his book, Great book.
- 10:01Speaker 1: Then I recounted the stories in our podcast episodes on
- 10:05Speaker 1: the Beatles, and I did this to disrupt the narrative
- 10:07Speaker 1: that the Beatles stopped touring because they got too big
- 10:10Speaker 1: and the fans were too loud and they could no
- 10:12Speaker 1: longer hear themselves playing over the screaming and touring and
- 10:15Speaker 1: become creatively unsatisfying. Now, of course that's part of the story, sure,
- 10:20Speaker 1: but Peter Brown's stories are part of the story as well.
- 10:23Speaker 1: The Beatles were freaked out, they were scared to play live, okay,
- 10:29Speaker 1: and you can understand why I would be too. There's
- 10:31Speaker 1: no shame in that, and that is more interesting to
- 10:35Speaker 1: me than the official narrative that the Beatles put out
- 10:38Speaker 1: there back in the sixties and then cemented into the
- 10:40Speaker 1: historical record when they released their anthology documentary back in
- 10:43Speaker 1: the nineteen nineties. The Beatles Documentary became the Beatles' story.
- 10:48Speaker 1: Anything else that came after it, or hasn't been sanctioned
- 10:51Speaker 1: by the band, anything else that doesn't meet that criteria.
- 10:56Speaker 1: It is deemed to be heretical by most casual music fans.
- 11:00Speaker 1: A guy who was there at the time, like I said,
- 11:02Speaker 1: A guy who has zero incentive or had zero incentive
- 11:05Speaker 1: to lie, A guy in fact, who was incentivized to
- 11:08Speaker 1: do the opposite for fear of losing his credibility. Publicists
- 11:12Speaker 1: need credibility, They need it to work to thrive. This
- 11:16Speaker 1: guy's story is discarded from history, while Paul McCartney's whitewashed true,
- 11:21Speaker 1: whitewashed story, but true story, sure, but not the whole
- 11:25Speaker 1: story is regarded as absolute gospel. If you go outside
- 11:30Speaker 1: the lines of that narrative, people call bullshit. This to
- 11:34Speaker 1: me is ridiculous. I've researched enough artists in my life
- 11:38Speaker 1: to know that the past is hazy at best. Oftentimes
- 11:42Speaker 1: most times, actually the artist version of went down is
- 11:45Speaker 1: far from the whole story. Those weird little anecdotes, Peter
- 11:49Speaker 1: Brown's Japanese assassins, The Village Voice is archived record of
- 11:53Speaker 1: ad Rock and MCA's offensive comments that I put in
- 11:57Speaker 1: my episode that weren't in Beast Boys. Those are the
- 12:01Speaker 1: stories that not only disrupt the narratives, but that preserve
- 12:05Speaker 1: the real history, or for our purposes here, preserve the
- 12:08Speaker 1: real spirit of rock and roll, or of twentieth century music,
- 12:11Speaker 1: for better or for worse, warts and all all the grime,
- 12:15Speaker 1: all the crime. It's all there. You just gotta look
- 12:18Speaker 1: for it and have an open mind and not blindly
- 12:21Speaker 1: accept the spoon fed narrative, even if that narrative is
- 12:24Speaker 1: from an artist that we love so speaking, of the Beatles,
- 12:28Speaker 1: both those Beatles episodes Parts one and Part two, story
- 12:32Speaker 1: of their come up, story of Beatlemania, but also the
- 12:36Speaker 1: story of drug smuggling, tax fraud, Like I said, assassins, assaults.
- 12:41Speaker 1: All of that is coming in this week's rewind slots
- 12:44Speaker 1: on Friday and Saturday. Next up in your feed. It's
- 12:46Speaker 1: going to be a Beatles weekend to cap off a
- 12:48Speaker 1: Beastie Boys week that we are having. Check these episodes
- 12:51Speaker 1: out if you haven't already, and if you have, give
- 12:53Speaker 1: them another listen for these stories that disrupt the narrative.
- 12:56Speaker 1: Next week. Okay, finally, speaking of disrupting the narrative, speaking
- 12:59Speaker 1: of heretical thinking. Next week, our Blink one eighty two
- 13:03Speaker 1: episode is coming out. I am pumped for this one.
- 13:07Speaker 1: All right. If any of you know Tom DeLong, and
- 13:10Speaker 1: I'm sure that some of you out there listening, do
- 13:13Speaker 1: get in touch with me on Instagram or email or wherever.
- 13:16Speaker 1: I'd like to get Tom to come on the episode,
- 13:18Speaker 1: to come talk to us on the after party. All right.
- 13:22Speaker 1: This episode, the Blink one eighty two disgrace Land episode,
- 13:24Speaker 1: was supposed to come out in November. We made a
- 13:28Speaker 1: little video documentary to accompany the podcast episode which some
- 13:32Speaker 1: of you, the Patreon All Access members, you've already you've
- 13:35Speaker 1: already heard this story. You've seen this story. I should say,
- 13:37Speaker 1: we're releasing it in podcasts form next week with the
- 13:40Speaker 1: whole sound design. It'll be it'll be different than what
- 13:43Speaker 1: you saw slightly. It'll be the same story, it'll be
- 13:45Speaker 1: a different production, if that makes sense. Anyways, this podcast
- 13:49Speaker 1: episode was supposed to come out I believe in November,
- 13:51Speaker 1: early November, but uh, that release got pushed because of
- 13:56Speaker 1: the hurricane. So now this episode is coming next week,
- 14:00Speaker 1: and I feel this might be divine intervention because it
- 14:04Speaker 1: feels like some big UAP disclosure might be happening between
- 14:07Speaker 1: now and the release of this Blink one eighty two
- 14:10Speaker 1: episode on Tuesday, at least, if you believe UFO Twitter,
- 14:13Speaker 1: UAP Twitter. Everybody's freaking out. They think something's coming now
- 14:17Speaker 1: the Trump's in office, they think something's coming soon. We
- 14:20Speaker 1: shall see. I'm not convinced. I'm not convinced, but if
- 14:23Speaker 1: it does happen, I'm gonna be freaked out. I tell
- 14:27Speaker 1: you that right now. So hold on to your hats,
- 14:28Speaker 1: boys and girls, when you're listening to this Blink one
- 14:31Speaker 1: eighty two episode. I want you to be thinking about
- 14:33Speaker 1: the existence of NHI non human intelligence, and I want
- 14:36Speaker 1: to know if you believe Tom's assertion that aliens exist.
- 14:39Speaker 1: You're gonna hear it. You might, you might be already
- 14:41Speaker 1: rolling your eyes, don't, Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna lay
- 14:45Speaker 1: some real facts on you about Tom Delong's efforts. Yes,
- 14:49Speaker 1: the Blink one eighty two guy, Yes, the Dick Joke guy. Yes,
- 14:52Speaker 1: that Tom DeLong. Okay, So I want to know after
- 14:55Speaker 1: you listen to the episode, do you believe non human
- 14:58Speaker 1: intelligence exists? Sub question? Every time I do that, every
- 15:02Speaker 1: time I say subquestion side note, I think of I
- 15:06Speaker 1: think at Jack Black and high fidelity asking questions about music.
- 15:11Speaker 1: Sub question are you experienced? Have you ever been experienced?
- 15:16Speaker 1: Says something anomalous in the skies ever appeared for you?
- 15:21Speaker 1: Have you ever been touched? Have you ever been contacted? Okay,
- 15:25Speaker 1: I'm saying all this, I swear to God with a
- 15:27Speaker 1: straight face. All right, I am open minded. Okay, If
- 15:32Speaker 1: you have been, then you know that they say that
- 15:34Speaker 1: those who have experiences have multiple So if you've had one,
- 15:38Speaker 1: if you've had two, whatever it is, I want to
- 15:40Speaker 1: know hit me up. Let me know whether you believe
- 15:44Speaker 1: Tom and why, whether you think Tom was right and
- 15:47Speaker 1: why and sub question. Like I said, if you've had
- 15:50Speaker 1: UFO UAP experience, NHI experience, I want to hear about it.
- 15:54Speaker 1: The creepier the better. Six one seven nine oh six

- 16:50Speaker 2: Hey Jake, it's height again. I probably should have waited
- 16:56Speaker 2: like an hour after listening to the VAT Boys episode.
- 17:00Speaker 3: Before I called, because I was like overstimulated and who
- 17:04Speaker 3: were excited?
- 17:05Speaker 2: Because you did a fucking fantastic job. I loved the
- 17:08Speaker 2: way he told their story. It brought back a lot
- 17:11Speaker 2: of memories to me because I'm an old school hardcore
- 17:15Speaker 2: punk rock kid. I came from the Leinhatte Valley in Pennsylvania,
- 17:20Speaker 2: but I spent a lot of time in the Lower
- 17:21Speaker 2: East Side growing up. I was at pretty much every
- 17:25Speaker 2: Sunday Matt Days. And then when you talked about the
- 17:29Speaker 2: one seven one Day in the Rat Cage, that brought
- 17:32Speaker 2: back so many memories. And you know, my all time
- 17:35Speaker 2: favorite Beaf albums. I actually loved Paul's boutique and I
- 17:40Speaker 2: loved Check your Head. But Yeah, you did a great
- 17:44Speaker 2: job representing all the different genres they went through. And
- 17:49Speaker 2: thank you for saying how much they sucked with fighting
- 17:54Speaker 2: for your right to party, because that was just fucking horrible.
- 17:57Speaker 3: Then I got really sad. We started talking about a
- 18:01Speaker 3: Yeah and his passing away. I was just recently diagnosed
- 18:07Speaker 3: with cancer a month ago, so that hit me hard.
- 18:11Speaker 3: And he was a great man and he's a legended
- 18:14Speaker 3: to this day. So I'm going to ramble on, but hey,
- 18:18Speaker 3: I wanted to also say you should seriously think about
- 18:21Speaker 3: doing some sort of episode.
- 18:23Speaker 2: About the hardcore scene in New York, the Lower east Side.
- 18:30Speaker 2: All right, gotta go to work.
- 18:33Speaker 4: Have a great day, Heidi.
- 18:36Speaker 1: A lot in that text there, First and foremost, I
- 18:39Speaker 1: hope you're doing okay. I I hope your your fight
- 18:43Speaker 1: is going in the direction that you wanted to do.
- 18:46Speaker 1: Just know that I'm thinking of you, and I'm sure
- 18:48Speaker 1: everybody listening to this right now I was thinking of you.
- 18:50Speaker 1: So I just want to wish you good luck in
- 18:52Speaker 1: the trenches there, good luck with your battle. As for
- 18:57Speaker 1: your note about a hardcore episode, I'm sure you heard
- 19:02Speaker 1: the John Joseph and the Agnostic Front and I even
- 19:05Speaker 1: managed to work in Gorilla Biscuits, not the band, but
- 19:08Speaker 1: the actual gorilla biscuit thingy thing of a jiggy into
- 19:12Speaker 1: the episode. Those are, all, of course, homage to my
- 19:15Speaker 1: love of New York hardcore. I would love to do
- 19:17Speaker 1: a New York harcore episode. Frankly, I don't know where
- 19:21Speaker 1: to start, and I don't there's a lot of beef there,
- 19:24Speaker 1: I know, and I don't want to be divisive, and
- 19:25Speaker 1: I got a lot of friends connected to that world,
- 19:29Speaker 1: and I want to piss people off. I'm very careful
- 19:31Speaker 1: when I talk about it. Let's put it that way.
- 19:33Speaker 1: So perhaps someday, if I can find the right ankle.
- 19:36Speaker 1: In the meantime, you're gonna have to just deal with me,
- 19:39Speaker 1: sort of sort of casually working in my love for
- 19:42Speaker 1: the genre into these other episodes, perhaps a Bad Brains episode.
- 19:45Speaker 1: I know they're not New York, but so they're connected enough. Anyway,
- 19:48Speaker 1: Thank you for the call, Hot, you appreciate you. All right,
- 19:50Speaker 1: Let's check out Clint in the four one two.
- 19:53Speaker 5: Hey Jay, my name is Clinton, And I would have
- 19:56Speaker 5: to say the musician that instead gotten to me the
- 20:00Speaker 5: most would.
- 20:02Speaker 4: Be Eddie Muney. Really liked Eddie Muney. He's been accused
- 20:05Speaker 4: of looking like Eddie Money. Had a drink with Eddie
- 20:08Speaker 4: Money one time.
- 20:09Speaker 3: He was a cool guy. I'm going with Eddie Money.
- 20:12Speaker 4: Bro, thanks a lot, have good night. I'm from the
- 20:15Speaker 4: four one two.
- 20:16Speaker 1: All right, Eddie Money, just like Ronnie says, love it, Clint,
- 20:19Speaker 1: be my little baby. Just love the Eddie Money love.
- 20:22Speaker 1: And I played this message because Eddie Money is just
- 20:24Speaker 1: one of those dudes who I feel like nobody talks
- 20:26Speaker 1: about enough. And Baby Hold onto Me is an incredible song.
- 20:29Speaker 1: I mean, come on, why has no one sampled that
- 20:32Speaker 1: for a hip hop song. By the way, I mean,
- 20:35Speaker 1: I shouldn't have said that. I should have done that.
- 20:37Speaker 1: Put that song on, Put baby hold onto me on
- 20:39Speaker 1: out in the backyard on a sunny day with a
- 20:41Speaker 1: cold beer, and try not to feel good. It's impossible
- 20:45Speaker 1: to do that. You're gonna feel good. All right, Thank
- 20:47Speaker 1: you Clint for reminding us of that.
- 20:49Speaker 4: All right.
- 20:49Speaker 1: I want to do one more message on last week's topic,
- 20:52Speaker 1: Bill Murray, because you guys just want to talk about
- 20:54Speaker 1: Bill Murray, and I don't blame you before putting the
- 20:56Speaker 1: Bill Murray subject to bed. This is a good said Matt.
- 21:00Speaker 1: Let's hear from Paul b in the eight four to three.
- 21:04Speaker 5: Hey Jake, it's your boy. Paul Bee from the eight
- 21:07Speaker 5: four to three Friendly neighborhood, sports therapist and personal train arms.
- 21:12Speaker 5: As usual, I've listening to your podcast in the Red
- 21:14Speaker 5: Light Therapy Machine. Barrin Murray. Well, I live in Harry
- 21:22Speaker 5: where Bill Murray lives down in South Carolina. He has
- 21:25Speaker 5: a house here in Charleston. He actually owns the local
- 21:28Speaker 5: baseball team, a minor league River Dogs. The stadium is awesome.
- 21:33Speaker 5: Been featured on Food Network several times. I've had the
- 21:37Speaker 5: privilege of meeting Bill on many occasions, drank lots of
- 21:41Speaker 5: beers with him, shared the occasional left handed cigarette.
- 21:47Speaker 4: Bill seems to be.
- 21:50Speaker 5: He's an amazing talent, no doubt. Love Bill Murray to death.
- 21:53Speaker 5: He's an awesome guy. The problem with Bill's he just
- 21:57Speaker 5: he just seems to be argumentative. Like, you know, you
- 22:00Speaker 5: might meet him at the local taco boy having some
- 22:02Speaker 5: tacos and killing out. He might follow you home to
- 22:05Speaker 5: a house party and do your dishes, you know, while
- 22:08Speaker 5: you're all party, but he'll argue with you about whether
- 22:11Speaker 5: the sky is blue, just just because. And I really
- 22:15Speaker 5: feel like that's probably if there's a flaw in his
- 22:19Speaker 5: his character, that's probably it's he can be overbearing, argumentative,
- 22:25Speaker 5: and he will have the last word. So I guess,
- 22:29Speaker 5: you know, that's kind of an asshole. But he brings
- 22:35Speaker 5: a lot of money into our economy down here, and
- 22:37Speaker 5: we love him. So he's our asshole and we love
- 22:40Speaker 5: you Bill. Thanks Jake, always a pleasure. Thanks for bringing
- 22:44Speaker 5: us the content really speeds along my workout, brother, enjoy
- 22:49Speaker 5: peace out rock a.
- 22:51Speaker 1: Roller, fascinating insight. Paul, appreciate it, you know, as you're
- 22:55Speaker 1: as I was listening to your message. You know, I
- 22:58Speaker 1: got to the word asshole before you did. But what
- 23:02Speaker 1: I love about your message is that it's honest and
- 23:04Speaker 1: it's nuanced, and we don't have a lot of that
- 23:06Speaker 1: these days. You know, people's behavior just sort of gives
- 23:10Speaker 1: them a scarlet letter and then we move on and
- 23:13Speaker 1: we don't talk about it, and we put them in
- 23:14Speaker 1: the box and that's it. And I love how you've
- 23:17Speaker 1: had firsthand experience with this guy and you have a
- 23:20Speaker 1: very nuanced assessment of him. So I thought that was
- 23:24Speaker 1: a great call on the red light therapy real quick.
- 23:26Speaker 1: I've done that before. Made me feel great. I understand
- 23:30Speaker 1: the benefits of sauna, and I do. I don't have
- 23:34Speaker 1: a sauna in my house, but I do have a
- 23:35Speaker 1: hot tub my pool jacuzzi, which I use regularly. Do
- 23:38Speaker 1: I get the same benefit from the hot tub as
- 23:40Speaker 1: I do in an actual steam sauna? Let me know,
- 23:43Speaker 1: by the way, I love that you're a stoned sports therapist.
- 23:46Speaker 1: I just wanted to say that six one seven, nine
- 23:49Speaker 1: oh six six sixty three eight voicemail and text eight
- 23:52Speaker 1: one eight right it say great episode of the Beat Boys.
- 23:54Speaker 1: Jake for the question of which musician slash musicians have
- 23:57Speaker 1: been influential to me. Well, coincidentally enough, it is the
- 24:01Speaker 1: Beastie Boys. One of the things I do is design
- 24:03Speaker 1: graphic T shirts, and I like to think that I
- 24:05Speaker 1: don't run out of ideas when designing, so a lot
- 24:07Speaker 1: of times I listened to the BC's when I'm creating,
- 24:10Speaker 1: not only because I love their music, but they're also
- 24:12Speaker 1: a constant reminder that creativity has no limit. Plus, Mike
- 24:16Speaker 1: d has one of the coolest voices and rhyme style.
- 24:19Speaker 1: The other influential artist would be Lenny Kravitz. The Mama
- 24:21Speaker 1: Said and Are You Going to Go My Way? Albums
- 24:23Speaker 1: were great, but Letty's transformation from Mama Set into are
- 24:26Speaker 1: You Going to Go My Way? Was incredible, both on
- 24:28Speaker 1: artistic and a life level. Be cool and I am out?
- 24:33Speaker 1: All right, I appreciate that. Eight poet eight thanks for
- 24:35Speaker 1: the text. All right Tony from the seven seven three
- 24:37Speaker 1: love the Bad Brains tattoo guys. Tony sent in this
- 24:40Speaker 1: tattoo and had a couple of other questions for me. Tony,
- 24:42Speaker 1: I'm gonna hit you up. You can email me on
- 24:45Speaker 1: your questions. I'll get back to you. Amazing tattoo work.
- 24:47Speaker 1: By the way four one six right saying hey, nineteen
- 24:51Speaker 1: ninety seven. Me and my girlfriend, Now why first time
- 24:53Speaker 1: together in New York City. It was a weekday. We
- 24:55Speaker 1: walked across the Brooklyn Bridge to Dumbo and then back.
- 24:58Speaker 1: Being the nineties, I had my trusting man ulta film camera.
- 25:00Speaker 1: On the way back across the Brooklyn Bridge, I realized
- 25:02Speaker 1: I was on a film. We were down near Broadway
- 25:04Speaker 1: and Chambers. I spotted a bodego with a Kodak sign
- 25:07Speaker 1: in the window on the other side of the street.
- 25:08Speaker 1: We crossed the street and there's a big gaggle of
- 25:11Speaker 1: people waiting to cross the other way. As usual, so
- 25:13Speaker 1: so many people it was hard to get through the crowd.
- 25:15Speaker 1: I guess I was in a grumpy mood because as
- 25:17Speaker 1: we were threading our way through the crowd, I said
- 25:19Speaker 1: to my girlfriend, why is it always such a pain
- 25:21Speaker 1: to try to get through? Holy shit, it's the beastly boys.
- 25:24Speaker 1: I was standing shoulder to shoulder with all three of
- 25:27Speaker 1: them waiting to cross the street. MCA and Mike D
- 25:30Speaker 1: did not even turn their heads. Ad Rock turned looked
- 25:32Speaker 1: at me, then looked my girlfriend up and down, and
- 25:34Speaker 1: then they were crossing the street. I was busy trying
- 25:36Speaker 1: to pull my rewounds pool of film back into the
- 25:38Speaker 1: camera so that I could at least get some kind
- 25:41Speaker 1: of record of this experience as they walked away, but
- 25:43Speaker 1: within a few yards, the indifferent crowd closed around them
- 25:46Speaker 1: and that was it. No picture. I don't miss the
- 25:49Speaker 1: days before iPhones from the four to one six love
- 25:54Speaker 1: it four one six. You know, it's kind of a
- 25:56Speaker 1: better story because you're a photographer and you didn't get
- 25:59Speaker 1: a picture. Okay, I do miss the days before iPhones.
- 26:03Speaker 1: I'm sure you have lots of other grave pictures of
- 26:05Speaker 1: lots of other great rock stars, and I appreciate your story,
- 26:08Speaker 1: So thanks for texting it in six one seven nine
- 26:10Speaker 1: oh six sixty six three eight. You guys want to
- 26:11Speaker 1: text me at this Gray Slam pod. You want to
- 26:13Speaker 1: hit me up on the dms, or you can get
- 26:16Speaker 1: into the comments and some of the Beastie boys content
- 26:18Speaker 1: that we are serving up on Instagram and Facebook and X.
- 26:23Speaker 1: To that point, we posted a real detailing the Mike D.
- 26:26Speaker 1: It's like an you know, sixty second version of the
- 26:28Speaker 1: Mike D story about the the London crime waves and
- 26:31Speaker 1: the crime wave and the disappearing Volkswagen hood emblem badges
- 26:36Speaker 1: that Mike d inspired with his b boy style and
- 26:39Speaker 1: that Volkswagen emblem that he used to rock and got
- 26:42Speaker 1: a lot. I'm actually surprised that how many of you
- 26:45Speaker 1: commented about having taken part in this low level criminal
- 26:51Speaker 1: behavior back in the eighties over in the UK. So
- 26:55Speaker 1: we posted that, and Drone d Love says, yep was
- 26:58Speaker 1: the whole of the UK, thir teen year old me
- 27:00Speaker 1: and my mates going wild out stealing the badges of
- 27:04Speaker 1: cars all the time. You couldn't find a Volkswagen with
- 27:06Speaker 1: a badge anywhere, so we ended up taking anything we
- 27:09Speaker 1: could find, be it a Murk or a Ford anything.
- 27:12Speaker 1: And then a lot of people chime in as well.
- 27:14Speaker 1: They got into this action. I just I didn't expect that.
- 27:17Speaker 1: That was pretty interesting. You guys are straight hoods. We
- 27:20Speaker 1: also posted this little video on the on the homage
- 27:24Speaker 1: the Beastie Boys paid in their gratitude video. The homage
- 27:27Speaker 1: they paid to Pink Floyd and the Live at POMPEII
- 27:31Speaker 1: film and got a lot of good action this this
- 27:35Speaker 1: one guy comments. Shady NYC says, hey, thanks for posting this.
- 27:38Speaker 1: I wrote the concept, directed it and I shot the
- 27:41Speaker 1: helicopter footage for the video he's talking about. Cheers, David
- 27:45Speaker 1: Perez shady, pretty frickin' awesome. Thanks David, appreciate you chiming
- 27:49Speaker 1: in all right, guys. You know that in addition to
- 27:52Speaker 1: our Question of the Week, where every week you guys
- 27:54Speaker 1: answer question relative to the artists that we've covered, the
- 27:58Speaker 1: Beastie Boys, Bill Murray, whoever, we also have the Story
- 28:02Speaker 1: of the Week where you guys can call in text
- 28:05Speaker 1: or email or DM me with your story of rock
- 28:08Speaker 1: and roll animalism, your tale of rock and roll excess.
- 28:12Speaker 1: Could be anything related to the spirit of rock and roll,
- 28:16Speaker 1: the true spirit of rock and roll. Could be something
- 28:18Speaker 1: that happened to you, could be something you heard secondhand,
- 28:20Speaker 1: could be something you read of or saw in a
- 28:23Speaker 1: movie that you're hitting the rest of us too. And this,
- 28:25Speaker 1: of course is all done as part of our ongoing
- 28:27Speaker 1: effort here in Disgraceland to preserve, like I said, the
- 28:30Speaker 1: true spirit of rock and roll, to save rock and roll,
- 28:33Speaker 1: if we may be so grand, to save rock and
- 28:36Speaker 1: roll from going the way of jazz music or the
- 28:39Speaker 1: Dodo Bird. To document this wild history so that there's
- 28:42Speaker 1: a permanent record of the wildest of these stories that
- 28:46Speaker 1: as I mentioned earlier in the show, have a tendency
- 28:48Speaker 1: to be written out of history. This is our purpose.
- 28:50Speaker 1: And this is this week's story of the Week, which
- 28:52Speaker 1: comes from Chris and the seven eight to one and
- 28:54Speaker 1: Woe Nelly. I want to warn you it's gross.
- 28:57Speaker 4: Hey, Jake Chris from the seven eight to one, following
- 29:00Speaker 4: up on a message I sent you on IG So,
- 29:04Speaker 4: back in the eighties, I was in a band, and
- 29:07Speaker 4: I was lucky enough to work with the great producer
- 29:10Speaker 4: Jimmy Miller, who did everything from Exile on Main Street,
- 29:13Speaker 4: Sticky Fingers, just the best Stones work, the Mick Taylor error.
- 29:18Speaker 4: He did tell us some great Stone stories, but I
- 29:21Speaker 4: am going to save those for another time because their
- 29:25Speaker 4: third party and I cannot validate them. But what I
- 29:28Speaker 4: can't tell you is that we were doing a recording
- 29:30Speaker 4: session at Downtown Recordings in Boston. So this is like
- 29:35Speaker 4: nineteen eighty seven ish. Jimmy does not show up for
- 29:39Speaker 4: the session. Well, when we see him later, it turns
- 29:42Speaker 4: out that he was hanging out with Johnny Thunders in
- 29:45Speaker 4: New York. What were he and Johnny Thunders doing in
- 29:48Speaker 4: New York? They were scoring heroin, so they needed to
- 29:55Speaker 4: shoot up and the only water that was available was
- 30:00Speaker 4: this puddle of water that had that film of oil
- 30:04Speaker 4: on top of it. After Jimmy letchard Johnny about how
- 30:09Speaker 4: disgusting that water was, he said, hey, are you usually
- 30:14Speaker 4: use that, you know, kind of abscesss or whatever? That
- 30:17Speaker 4: will do well. Afterwards we asked him to go, well,
- 30:20Speaker 4: what did you do? He goes, yeah, I shot up too. Thanks.
- 30:24Speaker 4: Have a great one, Chris.
- 30:26Speaker 1: This story is surprising to me or gross to me,
- 30:29Speaker 1: I should say, even by Johnny Thunder's standards, true rock
- 30:34Speaker 1: and roll animal, Johnny Thunders. Did Jimmy Miller produce some
- 30:37Speaker 1: Johnny Thunder stuff? Should know that if he did, and
- 30:39Speaker 1: I apologize if I didn't know that. It's something that
- 30:43Speaker 1: I absolutely should know. I have an actual Johnny Thunder's
- 30:45Speaker 1: tattoo for God's sake, of course, you guys, Jimmy Miller.
- 30:49Speaker 1: Chris mentions who he is. He was great Stones collaborator
- 30:52Speaker 1: around for the best of the Stones records, so no
- 30:56Speaker 1: surprise that he was working with Johnny Thunders at least
- 30:58Speaker 1: hanging around with him. Great story, Chris, and Chris, I
- 31:02Speaker 1: just want to say happy to hear you're still alive,
- 31:04Speaker 1: I mean with friends like that. Yeesh, damn man, you
- 31:07Speaker 1: are a survivor. It sounds like you must have lived
- 31:09Speaker 1: a pretty rock and roll life yourself, and happy to
- 31:11Speaker 1: have you among the living. Okay, you, guys, I want
- 31:14Speaker 1: to hear your stories of rock and roll animalism. Give
- 31:16Speaker 1: me a call six one seven nine oh six six

- 32:48Speaker 1: around and if we do, you know, in your size,

- 33:07Speaker 1: So here you go. Apple Podcasts. Ryan Redd four fifty
- 33:10Speaker 1: one writes, the show is very well written with great
- 33:12Speaker 1: delivery of the story. Everyone that asks for something new
- 33:15Speaker 1: to listen to, Disgraceland is my first option for them.
- 33:18Speaker 1: To try keep up the great work, y'all. We're going
- 33:21Speaker 1: to do that. Ryan read over on Spotify. Now I'm
- 33:23Speaker 1: reading this one here on Spotify from Tyler Hall because
- 33:27Speaker 1: he points out this this element of the episode, the
- 33:30Speaker 1: BC Ways episode that I almost didn't include. I wrote it,
- 33:33Speaker 1: I recorded it, I listened to the mix, and I
- 33:35Speaker 1: started thinking, hmm, how can I cut that out and
- 33:38Speaker 1: keep the story, keep the form, the form of the story,
- 33:41Speaker 1: the structure in place, because there's a little too personal.
- 33:44Speaker 1: And I will say that most times when I get
- 33:48Speaker 1: personal like this, y'all seem to respond in a positive way,
- 33:51Speaker 1: and I don't seem to learn that lesson. It's always
- 33:53Speaker 1: my instinct to cut it. But anyways, Tyler Hall says, Hey, Jake,
- 33:58Speaker 1: this episode is killer. I found your show towards the
- 34:00Speaker 1: end of last year and have been binging it like crazy.
- 34:02Speaker 1: The part around eighteen minutes of this episode where you
- 34:04Speaker 1: talk about your dad's record collection gave me life. I've
- 34:08Speaker 1: got two young kids and a large record collection myself
- 34:10Speaker 1: I hope they find music like that in my collection
- 34:13Speaker 1: and that they connect with it. Man, that gave me
- 34:15Speaker 1: the most wholesome feeling. Thank you for all the gnarly episodes.
- 34:18Speaker 1: You're the man, Rocke Rolla, Tyler Hall, thank you. I
- 34:21Speaker 1: appreciate that, I really do. And hit me up and
- 34:24Speaker 1: we will send some merch your way. All right, Today,
- 34:27Speaker 1: it's Thursday. It's the last Thursday of the month. You
- 34:30Speaker 1: know what that means. That means if you're an All
- 34:32Speaker 1: Access member, you're getting an extra Disgraceland episode this week,
- 34:36Speaker 1: full episode, not a bonus episode, new exclusive, scripted, fully
- 34:42Speaker 1: sound designed episode. Okay, you get one per month if
- 34:46Speaker 1: you're an All Access member. This month's All Access episode
- 34:49Speaker 1: is on the late great Towns van Zandt, one of
- 34:53Speaker 1: the greatest and to use Tyler's word, gnarliest country singers
- 34:58Speaker 1: of all time songwriters, I should say country song writers.
- 35:01Speaker 1: He's saying too. But he's you know, his his thing
