• 2:57
  SPEAKER_16: And I said, Well, that sounds like a good plan.

  SPEAKER_14: That is the Brian O'Brien and Doug five year podcast.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_14: That's enough.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_14: That's enough of that's enough adulation for you.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_10: Alright, so what's happened since our last podcast?
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_10: Well, uh, let's see.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_10: Last Saturday, I went down to Holton and Yeah, you played in uh you didn't play.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_10: I didn't play, no.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_10: I was in uh they have this thing called Modern Band.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_10: Have I we talked about this at all?
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_14: We've mentioned it, but we never really went in depth about it.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_10: I'm I'm I'm trying to start one at my school.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_10: Several schools up here in University County have have it.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_10: Uh especially Holton.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_10: Holton has like five or six.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_14: Well, that's because they have Kevin Maney.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_14: This is true.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_14: And and the last name fits because that dude is crazy.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_10: I have to tell you about what he did for these kids.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_10: And I think he's done it every year uh that they've had this.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_10: Um what it is basically is uh band is band in high school has a stigma.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_10: Right?
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_10: Well, yeah, it's not everybody wants to play trumpet or saxophone or whatever.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_10: So to reach those kids that maybe want to do music but not play in the band.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_14: Play a trumpet or trombone or something.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_10: Uh this idea of modern band is started.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_10: So so they they have these these little ensembles uh within each modern band class.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_10: Uh a band, basically.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_10: And they learn cover songs.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_10: Like they learn how to play guitar, they learn how to play bass, they learn how to play drums if they don't already know.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_10: And they just work and work all through the year on learning these songs, maybe even writing their own songs.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_10: Uh and then at the end of the year, which was last Saturday, not the end of the year, but you know, in the end of that year.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, the end of the towards the end of the year.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_10: Right.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_10: There's a big concert.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_10: And so this was the first state modern band festival.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_10: So it wasn't a competition, but it was you you could have modern bands from all over the state come to Holton and take part.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_10: Uh it may basically was just bands from Arusta County.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_10: There were a couple that that were downstate that were going to come, but whether Well, they can't find their way up here.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_14: That's true.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_14: They're like, there's nothing north of Bangor.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_14: Why why where Holton?
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_14: Is that part of Canada?
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_14: Do we need a passport?
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, exactly.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_10: So, yeah.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_10: So uh so we got a bunch of the modern bands together and I did the guitar clinic, which my workshop was essentially what they wanted me to do.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_14: Why did you just snort?
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_14: Was that part of your cold, or were you just like That was part of my cold?
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_14: I was because it sounded like I did a guitar clinic.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_14: That was dumb.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_18: You know, like I don't even know when I'd play guitar.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_18: I told you to prepare because that But it was it was just the timing because you were just like, Yeah, I did the guitar clinic.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_16: I mean it was just classic, that was just like perfect.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_10: So um what they wanted me to do was have the because in eight in each workshop I had f uh four workshops, four forty-minute workshops.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_17: Is this at the festival?
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_17: This is at the festival.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_17: Okay.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_10: Um and they wanted uh to have the bands play through their songs, they actually played two songs, and have me give the guitar players tips, you know.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_14: Okay, so like you suck, you're okay, you well.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_10: Here's the thing, and there were uh there was a you know, after one of these festivals is there's always uh a way to uh kind of see what could be done better.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_10: And we we actually did that.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_10: So because what would happen is I'd get through all of the bands songs, and then I would uh reserve time at the end for them to ask me guitar questions.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_10: Right.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_10: But by the time they got through their songs, there was no time at the end.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_10: So that needs to be changed or s or adjusted to a little more time for it.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_10: Either more time or um maybe not play the whole song.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_10: Maybe just maybe just have the guitar players there and you know.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_14: Oh, you had the whole band.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_14: Oh, yeah, so that doesn't make any sense.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_14: And the whole band.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_14: It was just about if it's just about guitar, yeah, you know.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_10: And the whole band went to every workshop.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_10: The whole band went to the bass workshop.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_10: The whole band went to the and I say it should be individuals.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_14: Like guitar players go to this one, you know, bass players go to this one.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_10: Right.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_14: And not only not only that all the dr all the drummers go to the kindergarten room, start eating crayons, you know.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_14: So there we go.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_10: So uh not only that, uh maybe based on ability, and here's the reason I say that.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_10: One of the very first bands that I had in my first workshop was really tight and really good.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_10: Uh the uh lead singer had a lot of charisma.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_10: You you could tell that they were an actual band.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_10: Right.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_10: They play outside the school.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_10: Oh, yeah.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_10: Um they were playing like a song by Chevelle.
• 8:37
  SPEAKER_10: Uh really.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_10: And then uh Mastodon.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_10: Right?
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah, yeah.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_10: Really?
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_10: Okay.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_10: And so uh so they went and I didn't really have a whole lot to tell them.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_14: And they're like, you guys are pretty good.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_10: I said basically, I said, you know, during the rhythm parts, you're you're you're playing the same thing, but maybe switch it up.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_10: Maybe you play the rhythm part and you add to it and maybe add some color.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_10: You know, stupid comments like that.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_10: Sure.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_10: And so, but then the the other bands are sitting there waiting to to play and they're seeing this really good band.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_10: Oh yeah.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_10: And they get up there and they were all great.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_10: I'm not saying they weren't uh intimidation.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah, I mean, yeah, there's there's different levels of talent there.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_10: So I don't know, maybe maybe that's something we can look at.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_10: So this this band's been doing this and they play outside the school, so maybe they should be in like an advanced type thing.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_10: I don't know.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_10: I but anyway, so what Kevin Mania did is we put on this big rock concert at the end of the day.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_10: Uh each band got up, we introduced them one by one, and there's the light show and the smoke show.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah, I saw that.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_14: I saw some pictures.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_10: Cool, and these kids felt like rock stars.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_10: It was it was a really, really cool thing to see.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_10: Nice.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_10: So um happy to be a part of that.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_10: Uh and I think uh music in and of itself is in a good place in Rosley County.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_10: Uh not necessarily I shouldn't say that.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_10: Musicians are are in a good place because Well, musicians around here are good.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_14: It's just that it's a musical wasteland.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_10: That's just true.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_14: And there's no place to showcase your talent, really.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_10: I guess that's what I'm saying.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_14: You know what I mean?
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_14: I mean there's there used to be, now there's not so much.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_14: They're talking about And everybody but and the and the problem with that is nobody wants to hear nobody wants to hear Mastodon.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_10: Right.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_14: You know?
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_14: They want to hear this, Freeber, you know, they want to hear the classics like you're a freaking iPod.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_10: Right.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_14: So I mean it's it's frustrating as a as a band that has original music that would like to put it out there, but there's no place to do that.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_10: Right.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_10: So I and I guess also what I'm saying is it's not really uh and I don't want to say this because my school to a degree supports the music program, but not as much as the sports program.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_14: Well it's like none of them support that music as far as yeah, I mean they're all that way.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_10: Right.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_14: So I mean sports are up here, music is you know in the basement somewhere.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_10: And and statistics show that if you are involved in music, you excel in these other subjects.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_10: It's crazy that they that's such a low priority.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_10: But anyway, I digress.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_10: Uh there's they're actually trying to cut one of the chorus programs in uh I think I don't know if it's Brewer.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_10: Uh just cut it to like half time.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_10: It's like so they can play more football?
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_10: I guess.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_10: I don't know.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_10: Why?
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_10: I I don't know.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_10: Anyway.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_10: Losers.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_10: Uh hey Brewer.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_10: You're full of losers.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_10: I hope it's Brewer.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_14: If that'd be funny, they'd be like, hey.

• 50:25
  SPEAKER_14: Turner and the song we're doing this week is I'm so tired and judging by the picture John Lennon is very tired or hung over who knows during the Beatles stay in Rishikesh there were two 90 minute lectures each day and much of the rest of the time was taken up with meditating students were expected to build up their periods of meditation slowly as their technique improved.
• 50:54
  SPEAKER_14: One person on the course reportedly claimed to have clocked up clocked up to a 42 hour session that's just insane that's really boring man I couldn't I can't imagine meditating for 42 hours straight.
• 51:15
  SPEAKER_10: You gotta think they fell asleep.
• 51:17
  SPEAKER_14: You gotta man that's a long time dude John found that this life of stillness and inner absorption meant that he couldn't sleep at night and consequently he began feeling tired during the day.
• 51:30
  SPEAKER_14: Right there I haven't slept away I'm so tired written after three weeks in India was also about the things he was beginning to miss.
• 51:40
  SPEAKER_14: The Academy of Meditation was alcohol and drug free and John's mind was turning to his beloved cigarettes and the possibility of a drink.
• 51:50
  SPEAKER_14: Sometimes a friend of his would smuggle in some wine most of all he was missing Yoko I can't I can't abide by that.
• 52:00
  SPEAKER_14: Who is gonna miss that friggin' fire breathing dragon should I go the couple had not yet begun an affair because John was unsure of how to end his marriage.
• 52:15
  SPEAKER_14: He had briefly entertained the idea of inviting her to India but realized the complications of having both Cynthia and Yoko under the same roof would be too great.
• 52:25
  SPEAKER_14: You think John would give you everything I've got you think I'm so yeah like I I just I don't get that period of John Lennon man.
• 52:40
  SPEAKER_16: Well I mean Cynthia I mean have you seen pictures of her she was gorgeous and then you got Troll living under the bridge Yoko Ono hey you know to each his own beauty is in the eye of the beholder yeah that's why he wears those thick glasses he obviously was not wearing them when he met her he was like oh that's a gorgeous woman and then he put his glasses on like oh my god what have I done for a little piece of mind for a little piece of mind alone yeah exactly that about sums it up right there I just I just I don't get it man I just don't get it you know if he had never met her we would know nothing about her that's probably true.
• 53:43
  SPEAKER_10: You know what I mean?
• 53:44
  SPEAKER_14: She became who she was because of because of John Lennon yeah yeah if if he had never met her never seen her we would not be like we would not have to deal with that I would be I would my life would be I bet I bet if we had never heard of Yokohono we would have like free nuclear energy and it's safe and the Beatles would still be together and still playing and you know I bet I bet there would be world peace you know I mean there would be no like you know Vietnam never would have happened it would have just been like a big tickle fight eventually you know if there were no Yoko it would be so much better I wouldn't have to be talking about her stupid butt.
• 54:44
  SPEAKER_14: She really sucks and she can't sing just ask just ask Chuck Berry if there's no YOKO you suck Yeah so oh my goodness yeah I just I think the world would be a better place if we'd never heard of her we might still have the Beatles that's what I'm saying man they would still be together and playing amazing music and they would be like you know they would be like there would be no Taylor Swift either.
• 55:23
  SPEAKER_14: She'd just be like I can't top these guys.
• 55:25
  SPEAKER_14: She would just be like nah I'm gonna I'm just gonna go you know work at the gap you know or whatever she was doing before she became famous.
• 55:33
  SPEAKER_14: I don't know what she was doing.
• 55:35
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah I wasn't there.
• 55:37
  SPEAKER_10: That's something to ponder though.
• 55:39
  SPEAKER_14: Really?
• 55:39
  SPEAKER_14: I mean it's like one of those what ifs you know it's like what if the South had won the Civil War?
• 55:43
  SPEAKER_14: What if what if j you know Germany had won World War II.
• 55:46
  SPEAKER_14: It's like one of those kind of you know you know far reaching conundrums that you just like you you know you just think about you know you know you know it's like you know you get drunk at a bar and you're like hey hey hey hey do you think you could beat up all the Spartans with a a pencil?
• 56:05
  SPEAKER_14: I don't know.
• 56:06
  SPEAKER_14: You think John Wick could beat the Spartans with a pencil?
• 56:09
  SPEAKER_14: Because he killed three men in a bar with a pencil according to the movie.
• 56:14
  SPEAKER_14: You know it's one of those questions, right?
• 56:18
  SPEAKER_14: You know?
• 56:18
  SPEAKER_10: But if you think about it, arguably she was the wedge between them.
• 56:23
  SPEAKER_10: I mean no it's pronounced which ego had a lot to do with it.
• 56:26
  SPEAKER_10: You know McCartney has has quite an ego Leonard had not Paul had quite an ego.
• 56:32
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah so well they both did yeah they really of course but I think if she hadn't been there they may have been able to work it out we can work it out right seriously we can work it out without Yoko Alright we're playing one of the I have an album so let the guess in beginning is it a band yes currently there's a lot of all those Chicago so the album and I don't know if we've done this yet but we're gonna do it again.
• 57:48
  SPEAKER_14: I don't know if we've done that.
• 57:49
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah this is 16 18 that's 18 18 so this is the one that has the dreadful uh cover of uh oh yeah 25 more yeah I don't know who was consulting uh the Chicago camp I blame David Foster but this did not need redoing.
• 58:16
  SPEAKER_07: No what was wrong with it many that would be one of the only weak parts on the album I think I re I yeah I really think so uh because this album But I think when it came out I wasn't aware of the original 25 or 64.
• 59:28
  SPEAKER_14: Right so to me it was like oh wow this is you know yeah that's a good point yeah it's a good point because when I was it wasn't until we we deep dived into Chicago we realized that oh this is way better.
• 59:39
  SPEAKER_10: Right.
• 59:39
  SPEAKER_10: You know what I mean?
• 59:40
  SPEAKER_10: Um this album Chicago 18 came out in 1986.
• 59:44
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah.
• 59:44
  SPEAKER_10: So I was in sixth grade.
• 59:46
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah I was a freshman in high school now you had to be older in sixth grade man you had to be in junior high at least because I was in like no I was in like eighth grade.
• 59:55
  SPEAKER_10: I was well it came it says it came out in eighty six so it may have been technically eighty seven.
• 1:00:00
  SPEAKER_10: So if it was like like it was it came out in the end of eighty six and then we just got window's home by the way my son is home.
• 1:00:08
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah I saw a I can I see the reflection of the window outside and I saw a headlight oh good so yeah I just I I didn't mean to slow your roll I just I just kept seeing this flashing light I was like oh that's what that is so um so yeah it could have come out at the end of 86 and then we discovered it in 87 because 87 I was in seventh grade.
• 1:00:28
  SPEAKER_10: So that might be Okay that makes more sense that makes a little more sense but when it came out I remember us jamming to this album oh I played it to death yeah had it on cassette yeah we played the crap out of the top there are several several uh hit songs on it uh here's here's one do do do do do do and you know we make fun of David Foster but the guy can write songs the dude no I mean yeah I mean the dude David Foster is got a huge ego oh yeah no doubt about it I read his autobiography yeah I mean I'm reading it right now oh yeah yeah and and it's like yeah he's got a big ego but even he admits that he screwed up with Chicago yeah he does yeah he even he even admits it he was like yeah I made him way too soft yeah so but that being said for a middle school dude yeah we didn't know any better just discovering girls yeah you know oh this is this is ultimate like you know slow dance you know at the you know oh yeah and I think uh Jason Chef I don't know that I actually like his voice better than Sotera well here's the thing I don't know that Jason Schiff would have been the right choice in early Chicago not with what they were doing no right so in in like the mid 80s after Chicago was 17 yeah like hard habit to break you're the inspiration I think it was a smooth transition I think him taking over at that point yeah was perfect yeah yeah then of course this one oh yeah if she would have been faithful yeah yes it's another ballad of course eighty percent of Chicago songs that came out in the 80s were all ballads yeah is it's I think the only exception was Stay of the Night's trap still great songs oh yeah photograph build with me the first use I've ever heard so uh then they of course they had you know up tempo too this one has Bill Champlain's thing in lead called It's Alright album cut very easy oh yeah I don't like his voice better than I was well apparently according to David Foster's book he had worked with Bill Chaplin before right in you know before he had been in Chicago yeah so I don't know if he was instrumental in getting him into the band but very 80s but still and very nostalgic.
• 1:05:06
  SPEAKER_10: Yeah oh yeah this brings back memory oh yeah uh I don't know I always I always think it's later in the 80s this came out I always thought it was like 88 88 89 yeah but it's uh according to this it's 86 yeah of course we were up here at the time so maybe it was 88 before I got up here right you know this is true before they started carrying it at Zares holy cow Zers uh yeah because Bill Champlin was on a bunch of their uh hits after that uh what was the one uh oh this one Chase in the Wind that was on a Chicago 21 Chase in the Wind uh Chicago 19 the one after this had a bunch of big Bill Champlin hits yeah which was uh I don't want to live without your love right here
• 1:06:05
