- 4:08SPEAKER_04: I can't remember what oh no, yeah, I know we were gonna play St.
- 4:10SPEAKER_04: Patrick's Day.
- 4:11SPEAKER_04: So we should we should back up.
- 4:12SPEAKER_04: We played a gig this uh weekend.
- 4:14SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 4:15SPEAKER_04: At the lounge.
- 4:16SPEAKER_04: It was fun.
- 4:17SPEAKER_04: It was fun, it was different.
- 4:18SPEAKER_04: Mostly.
- 4:18SPEAKER_04: Yeah, mostly.
- 4:19SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 4:20SPEAKER_04: It was different.
- 4:20SPEAKER_04: Um it was um nice layout.
- 4:24SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it was very the atmosphere is nice.
- 4:26SPEAKER_04: The vibe was pretty cool.
- 4:27SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 4:27SPEAKER_04: Although I told my wife, and I don't know if I should say this on the podcast, but I got a there's something I didn't like about it.
- 4:43SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 4:44SPEAKER_04: Um it reminded me so so the way it's set up is it's just this large rectangular room, right?
- 4:52SPEAKER_04: We're in the corner, you have uh sofas and tables around the sides of the of the room.
- 4:59SPEAKER_04: The bar is in the middle of the room.
- 5:01SPEAKER_04: So if you don't get a table or a sofa chair, or what I mean, it was very relaxing atmosphere, it's very cool.
- 5:08SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 5:09SPEAKER_04: Um if you don't get a table, you're standing in the middle of the room.
- 5:14SPEAKER_04: Big crowd in front of the bar.
- 5:16SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 5:17SPEAKER_04: I got a whole you remember, I mean, you were there a couple times.
- 5:21SPEAKER_04: I got a whole rock docks vibe.
- 5:23SPEAKER_04: Um that whole, you know, just drinking and and and not our crowd.
- 5:34SPEAKER_02: But no, it's definitely not our crowd.
- 5:36SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 5:36SPEAKER_02: But they were appreciated.
- 5:38SPEAKER_04: They were, and it was nice.
- 5:39SPEAKER_04: So I don't that's why I'm saying I don't want to knock it.
- 5:41SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 5:42SPEAKER_04: But like for me alone, I was just like, that's one of the reasons I got out of that band, was because just the whole atmosphere of that turned me off.
- 5:51SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 5:52SPEAKER_04: You know, I like the acoustic stuff, you know, and and and and it's because we're kind of more intimate, although oftentimes we're playing for ourselves.
- 6:00SPEAKER_04: Um but that aside, I thought it was a great gig.
- 6:06SPEAKER_04: And I would love to play there again.
- 6:07SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, I liked it.
- 6:09SPEAKER_02: I mean, it was like uh it reminded me of something out of John Wick.
- 6:13SPEAKER_02: You know, I was just waiting for him to like burst in and like shoot shooting somebody.
- 6:18SPEAKER_02: Is that because of the lighting?
- 6:19SPEAKER_02: The lighting, yeah, yeah.
- 6:20SPEAKER_02: You know, it was like it was like that darkish, right, bluish, and uh, you know, there was just like and of course no offense to this guy, but the boun bouncer, I'll put that in quotes.
- 6:34SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 6:36SPEAKER_02: What do you think a bouncer in a in a in an establishment?
- 6:39SPEAKER_02: You think of somebody that's you know, you're gonna be able to, you know, okay, you need to take care of, you know, that there's a something going on.
- 6:47SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 6:47SPEAKER_02: You need to be.
- 6:49SPEAKER_02: I don't think this guy is it.
- 6:51SPEAKER_04: I don't think so either.
- 6:52SPEAKER_02: I've you know, God love him.
- 6:53SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you know, he was I think he's a buddy of somebody and said, Hey, you need a job?
- 6:57SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he was like I I think they just found him.
- 7:00SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 7:01SPEAKER_02: You know, they're like, uh hey, you stand here and count people as they come through the door.
- 7:06SPEAKER_02: Okay, okay.
- 7:07SPEAKER_02: And yeah.
- 7:08SPEAKER_02: You know, nice guy.
- 7:09SPEAKER_02: I mean very nice guy.
- 7:10SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
- 7:10SPEAKER_02: But he just just, you know, because when things went down, it was like, hmm.
- 7:16SPEAKER_02: He's not gonna, he's not gonna handle it.
- 7:19SPEAKER_04: No, he's not.
- 7:19SPEAKER_04: He's not gonna be able to handle it.
- 7:21SPEAKER_04: He and maybe four of his friends.
- 7:24SPEAKER_02: Maybe five.
- 7:26SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 7:28SPEAKER_02: But it was just I was like, uh, maybe you want to rethink your uh your security.
- 7:33SPEAKER_02: Yes, yeah.
- 7:35SPEAKER_02: I'm not saying you need it, but you do.
- 7:37SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 7:37SPEAKER_02: You know, we got people and alcohol, there's gonna be a lot of times there's gonna be a problem.
- 7:42SPEAKER_04: There's gonna be a problem.
- 7:43SPEAKER_02: We we have been at many gigs where there have been problems.
- 7:46SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 7:46SPEAKER_04: So we know.
- 7:47SPEAKER_04: We know what of what we speak.
- 7:48SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 7:49SPEAKER_04: So um, but that that being said, um, I think that they're doing a good thing with this.
- 7:55SPEAKER_02: Well, the whole place has a different vibe.
- 7:58SPEAKER_02: It it used to have this like I don't know, like, this like um it kind of reminds you know, remember in the first Blues Brothers movie?
- 8:09SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 8:10SPEAKER_02: When they they're living in this like hotel.
- 8:13SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 8:13SPEAKER_02: That's the vibe I used to get from that place.
- 8:16SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I suppose.
- 8:17SPEAKER_02: You know, not not quite to that extent.
- 8:19SPEAKER_02: Right, right.
- 8:19SPEAKER_02: You know, but that's the kind of thing.
- 8:21SPEAKER_02: They fixed it up nice, it looks it's it's completely different.
- 8:24SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 8:25SPEAKER_02: You know, yeah, like where we thought we were gonna play is now like business conference rooms.
- 8:31SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 8:31SPEAKER_02: And I was like, whoa, this is this is different.
- 8:33SPEAKER_02: Because I hadn't been in there since they've neither have I uh you know, transformed it.
- 8:37SPEAKER_02: So but but the downstairs looks the same, but it's got a different vibe.
- 8:41SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I do like the seating, you know.
- 8:44SPEAKER_02: You gotta get there early to get good seating.
- 8:46SPEAKER_04: And I think maybe I think it and of course they had some of those tables that stand up in the middle and yours, like the stand-up tables.
- 8:52SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 8:53SPEAKER_04: And I think maybe more seating.
- 8:55SPEAKER_04: Yeah, a little more seating wouldn't be better.
- 8:57SPEAKER_04: Some wouldn't hurt some of those couches or tables or something in the middle of the room or whatever.
- 9:02SPEAKER_02: Well, I think I was talking to the the manager earlier, and they said, you know, eventually they want to knock out that wall and put the bar inside where that kitchen area is, so there's more room for people.
- 9:14SPEAKER_02: So hopefully that'll that'll transport.
- 9:17SPEAKER_04: But all in all, I thought pretty good.
- 9:19SPEAKER_04: And interestingly enough, and I don't know if you knew this, but apparently they they used a couple of pictures to promote us, and some of those people that came to see us thought it was the full band.
- 9:31SPEAKER_02: Yeah, a couple people had said that.
- 9:33SPEAKER_04: Yeah, they thought it was the full band.
- 9:34SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
- 9:35SPEAKER_04: I think the full band would have been too loud.
- 9:37SPEAKER_02: We would have blown them out of there.
- 9:39SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I think that I don't think I don't think that's a place to have a full band.
- 9:43SPEAKER_02: You can't have a band in there.
- 9:44SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 9:44SPEAKER_05: And uh Acoustically have we played there before?
- 9:48SPEAKER_02: As Common Crossing?
- 9:50SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 9:52SPEAKER_04: Like if we did, it was a long time.
- 9:54SPEAKER_02: It must have been like ages ago, but I don't Yeah.
- 9:56SPEAKER_04: No, we would blow the roof off that.
- 9:58SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 9:58SPEAKER_02: Maybe back when we were a trio.
- 10:00SPEAKER_02: I don't think we ever played there with Joker.
- 10:01SPEAKER_04: No, I don't think so either.
- 10:02SPEAKER_02: So but maybe, maybe, maybe like a wedding reception or something.
- 10:05SPEAKER_04: But acoustically, I think it's fine.
- 10:07SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it it doesn't, you know, the room sounds good.
- 10:10SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 10:11SPEAKER_02: You know, I I we had no problem sound-wise, I don't think.
- 10:14SPEAKER_02: Everybody could hear everything just fine with that one speaker.
- 10:18SPEAKER_05: Yep.
- 10:18SPEAKER_04: So um and so the reason I bring that up is to to they say we had a pretty good gig and um they wanted us for St.
- 10:26SPEAKER_04: Patrick's Day, so we were kind of like, oh yeah, we don't have a gig for St.
- 10:29SPEAKER_04: Patrick's Day because normally we play at the pub.
- 10:32SPEAKER_04: And there's no pub.
- 10:32SPEAKER_04: And there's no pub, although the replacement for the pub is gonna be opening soon.
- 10:37SPEAKER_04: Uh Valentine's weekend, I think.
- 10:38SPEAKER_04: Oh really?
- 10:38SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I believe so.
- 10:39SPEAKER_04: Good.
- 10:39SPEAKER_04: Something like that.
- 10:40SPEAKER_04: About time.
- 10:41SPEAKER_04: Um but yeah, so we didn't have a St.
- 10:44SPEAKER_04: Patrick's Day gig, which we love.
- 10:47SPEAKER_04: Uh we usually try and get Shane to come up, but we do a bunch of Irish songs and whatnot.
- 10:51SPEAKER_04: So we're like, yeah, oh, and we're gonna book you.
- 10:54SPEAKER_04: Okay, we're and it was like it was set.
- 10:56SPEAKER_04: And then I'm like, uh, hold on, I should probably check.
- 11:00SPEAKER_04: And so I looked at my my calendar, my schedule, and I have one of those damn tournament or travel basketball weekends.
- 11:06SPEAKER_02: Wh when is St.
- 11:08SPEAKER_02: Patrick's Day this year?
- 11:09SPEAKER_02: St.
- 11:09SPEAKER_04: Patrick's well, it is on a weekend.
- 11:11SPEAKER_04: St.
- 11:11SPEAKER_04: Patrick's Day is on a Sunday.
- 11:13SPEAKER_04: Uh they would have had us on the 16th on a Saturday.
- 11:16SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 11:17SPEAKER_04: So uh I think it's Finn and Eli.
- 11:21SPEAKER_04: They both have basketball tournaments that weekend.
- 11:25SPEAKER_04: So we'll be staying in a hotel two nights again.
- 11:28SPEAKER_02: On St.
- 11:29SPEAKER_02: Patrick's Day weekend?
- 11:30SPEAKER_04: On St.
- 11:30SPEAKER_04: Patrick's Day weekend.
- 11:31SPEAKER_02: Ah, God love you.
- 11:32SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I know, right?
- 11:33SPEAKER_02: That's gonna be interesting.
- 11:34SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so but I've got one coming up this weekend.
- 11:38SPEAKER_04: Um, and I almost think I almost think the weekend after too, there's another one.
- 11:45SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
- 11:45SPEAKER_04: It's costing us a lot of money.
- 11:47SPEAKER_02: I'm about to say, you mean do you want to sell one of the kids to pay for this?
- 11:52SPEAKER_04: You know and you know it's not really expensive to participate in the in the the basketball, it's just it's the hotel.
- 11:59SPEAKER_04: It's everything else.
- 11:59SPEAKER_04: It's everything else.
- 12:00SPEAKER_02: The driving, the gas, the hotel, right, you know, eating and it's true.
- 12:04SPEAKER_04: So I hope they appreciate it.
- 12:05SPEAKER_04: Yeah, they better when they're older, dang it.
- 12:07SPEAKER_02: When they get rich and you know, they're gonna put, you know.
- 12:10SPEAKER_04: When they get in the NBA.
- 12:11SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 12:13SPEAKER_02: You never know.
- 12:14SPEAKER_04: Stranger things have happened.
- 12:15SPEAKER_04: This is true.
- 12:16SPEAKER_04: This is true.
- 12:16SPEAKER_04: So yeah, so so that was uh that was a good uh good gig this weekend.
- 12:20SPEAKER_04: Also, what I forgot was happening um on Sunday last night.
- 12:25SPEAKER_04: Practice?
- 12:26SPEAKER_04: Uh yeah.
- 12:29SPEAKER_04: I did.
- 12:30SPEAKER_04: Well, the fun so in my defense, and I and I've used this defense, and you you guys said there was no big deal.
- 12:37SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it wasn't a big deal.
- 12:38SPEAKER_04: Was that so we're talking about Skinny Elvis, which is a side project of ours, which we love.
- 12:44SPEAKER_04: Um we originally were going to rehearse on Thursday at John's house in Mapleton.
- 12:52SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 12:52SPEAKER_04: And it was gonna be seven o'clock.
- 12:54SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 12:55SPEAKER_04: And then there was a storm.
- 12:56SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it was pretty messy.
- 12:58SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 12:58SPEAKER_02: So it wasn't a storm storm, but it was messy enough that it would have been and where they live is very hilly and curvy.
- 13:05SPEAKER_04: So it was So we thought it best to just move it to Sunday evening.
- 13:09SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 13:09SPEAKER_04: Well, I forgot that we said Sunday at six.
- 13:12SPEAKER_04: So I'm like, I got time, and I'm at my mother-in-law's birthday party and just had a couple pieces of pizza about ready to have some cake and ice cream, and you text me and you say, Everything good, man?

- 13:31SPEAKER_05: Oh, crap.
- 13:33SPEAKER_02: Not your words, but right, right, right.
- 13:36SPEAKER_04: Luckily, luckily, I had already packed my car because I was gonna go from the birthday party straight to practice at seven, which I thought it was.
- 13:45SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 13:46SPEAKER_04: Um, so I said, I'll be there in ten minutes, and I think I was there in less than ten minutes.
- 13:49SPEAKER_02: Now, yeah, I was about to say it was like probably eight minutes, maybe something.

- 15:17SPEAKER_04: Uh it's like, uh, I didn't even I've completely forgot because you know, A, I thought life got easier as you got older or less busy.
- 15:26SPEAKER_04: No, it's m it's busier than ever.
- 15:29SPEAKER_04: Um I used to watch a lot of TV.
- 15:32SPEAKER_02: You used to love award shows.
- 15:35SPEAKER_02: I used to love award shows.
- 15:37SPEAKER_02: It was to the point where I was like, how can you stand these?
- 15:41SPEAKER_02: Because they are so boring.
- 15:43SPEAKER_04: I I don't anymore.
- 15:45SPEAKER_04: I mean it's something has happened.
- 15:47SPEAKER_04: I'm not I'm not sure.
- 15:48SPEAKER_04: But I used to I used to watch the Grammys, I used to watch the Country Music Awards, I used to watch uh the American Music Awards, all these award shows, I used to love them because I've was like, I'm gonna be up there someday, you know, as a songwriter or whatever.
- 16:01SPEAKER_04: I've kind of completely given up on that dream.
- 16:03SPEAKER_04: Um but um yeah, but I and I would not that I would have watched them, the Grammys, I mean, but I I didn't even know that like I guess I don't listen to the radio per se, so I didn't hear any advertisements for it.
- 16:20SPEAKER_04: I don't watch TV, so I didn't see any advertisements for it.
- 16:23SPEAKER_02: I only knew it was on because I because I was watching the AFC and NFC championship games last weekend and they were advertising it.
- 16:30SPEAKER_02: You know, next Sunday Grammy Award, you know, you know.
- 16:33SPEAKER_02: I did see that, but that's the only reason I knew they were on.
- 16:35SPEAKER_04: It didn't register, yeah.
- 16:37SPEAKER_04: But I did I did see that.
- 16:38SPEAKER_04: But I um so I was like, well, and then you see some people are posting things about the Grammys, and a couple of the things would have been cool to see.
- 16:49SPEAKER_04: Um, you know, Luke Combs, uh, the country singer had a big hit with Tracy Chapman's Fast Car.
- 16:55SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 16:56SPEAKER_04: Well she came out and she sang.
- 16:56SPEAKER_04: Yeah, she came and sang it with it.
- 16:57SPEAKER_04: She sang it with him, which was which would have been cool to see.
- 17:00SPEAKER_04: Um Joni Mitchell came out and sang.
- 17:02SPEAKER_04: You know, I appreciate uh Joni Mitchell for what she's contributed to music.
- 17:06SPEAKER_04: I'm not really I'm not a fan.
- 17:09SPEAKER_04: Well, I I'm a fan of her songwriting.
- 17:12SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm not just not a fan of her.
- 17:13SPEAKER_04: I'm not a fan of her singing much.
- 17:15SPEAKER_04: But um Billy Joel, I wanted to play this.
- 17:19SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah, he was uh because Didn't he play his new song?
- 17:22SPEAKER_04: He did play his new song.
- 17:24SPEAKER_04: Um and I want to play a little bit more of it because we played the beginning of it, like the teaser.
- 17:30SPEAKER_04: So I want to play a little bit more of it and then tell uh talk about what's the wrong one.
- 17:35SPEAKER_04: Kind of what uh kind of what Shane uh had to say about it too.
- 17:40SPEAKER_09: Open the door, nothing is there.
- 17:43SPEAKER_04: I'll turn the lights back on.
- 17:45SPEAKER_04: This is not the live performance.
- 17:48SPEAKER_09: Trying to talk over the silence.
- 18:50SPEAKER_04: Okay, so um actually hold on a second.
- 18:53SPEAKER_04: I want to type in let's see, turn on because I have a I have a theory about this.
- 19:00SPEAKER_04: Um, but I also want to talk about Shane had posted in our thread.
- 19:04SPEAKER_04: What do you think of the new Billy Joel song?
- 19:06SPEAKER_04: So I said, I like it.
- 19:08SPEAKER_04: Sounds like Billy Joel, a bit underwhelming, but I'm not complaining.
- 19:11SPEAKER_04: Twenty years since his last single, which was like a Sinatra thing.
- 19:14SPEAKER_04: Shane says, Yeah, it's not the greatest song he's ever written, but it's new Billy Joel, I like it too.
- 19:19SPEAKER_04: The piano is classic Billy Joel, very much in his style, his milieu, as Doug might say.
- 19:24SPEAKER_04: That is what I would say.
- 19:25SPEAKER_04: It is what you would say.
- 19:27SPEAKER_04: So um I have let's see, did they give me lyrics?
- 19:33SPEAKER_04: They did.
- 19:35SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 19:36SPEAKER_04: So what do you think this song is about?
- 19:41SPEAKER_05: Uh the price of electricity.
- 19:45SPEAKER_05: Hold on.
- 19:51SPEAKER_04: Um it's it's a love song.
- 19:53SPEAKER_04: Is it a love song?
- 19:55SPEAKER_02: I think he wants us to think that, but I think it's something deeper than that.
- 19:58SPEAKER_04: Well, here's my theory.
- 20:00SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 20:00SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 20:02SPEAKER_04: This is a love song to us.
- 20:05SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I was kind of thinking that.
- 20:07SPEAKER_04: Because, you know, he hit he wrote his last song that he wrote was Famous Last Words.
- 20:12SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 20:13SPEAKER_04: Uh on his River of Dreams album, which these are the last words I have to say.
- 20:16SPEAKER_04: We talked about that before.
- 20:18SPEAKER_04: Um, and if you look at if you listen to the words of this song, uh please open the door.
- 20:22SPEAKER_04: Like, would would you let me back in your life?
- 20:25SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 20:26SPEAKER_04: As a as a songwriter, as a singer, you know, I know because his Madison Square Garden thing has been going bonkers.
- 20:31SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 20:31SPEAKER_04: Um, would uh please open the door.
- 20:33SPEAKER_04: Nothing is different.
- 20:34SPEAKER_04: We've been here before, pacing these halls, trying to talk over the silence, and pride sticks out its tongue, laughs at the portrait that we've become, stuck in a frame, unable to change.
- 20:43SPEAKER_04: I was wrong.
- 20:44SPEAKER_04: I was wrong to just drop my songs, drop, drop songwriting.
- 20:49SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 20:50SPEAKER_04: And this is just my theory.
- 20:53SPEAKER_04: This is and this is him testing the waters, right?
- 20:56SPEAKER_04: This is him dipping his foot in the you know, uh, I'm late, but I'm here right now.
- 21:01SPEAKER_04: Though I used to be romantic, I forgot somehow.
- 21:03SPEAKER_04: Time can make you blind.
- 21:05SPEAKER_04: But I see you now as we're laying in the darkness.
- 21:07SPEAKER_04: Did I wait too long to turn the lights back on?
- 21:08SPEAKER_02: Did I wait right there?
- 21:09SPEAKER_02: Is where that's when I was like, Right.
- 21:12SPEAKER_02: I don't think he's talking about a person.
- 21:13SPEAKER_02: He's talking about did I wait too long to come back and write more songs?
- 21:18SPEAKER_04: Am I still am I still relevant?
- 21:21SPEAKER_04: Yes, yes.
- 21:21SPEAKER_04: You know what I mean?
- 21:22SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's that was the that's when I was like, oh, ding.
- 21:25SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 21:25SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 21:26SPEAKER_04: Here, stuck on a hill.
- 21:28SPEAKER_04: Over the hill.
- 21:29SPEAKER_04: I mean, he's older, right?
- 21:30SPEAKER_04: Here stuck on a hill.
- 21:31SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah.
- 21:32SPEAKER_04: Outsiders inside the home that we built.
- 21:34SPEAKER_04: The cold settle settles in.
- 21:36SPEAKER_04: It's been a long winter of indifference.
- 21:38SPEAKER_04: And maybe you love me, maybe you don't, maybe you'll learn to, and maybe you won't.
- 21:41SPEAKER_04: You've had enough, but I won't give up on you.
- 21:44SPEAKER_04: His fans.
- 21:45SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 21:46SPEAKER_04: Right?
- 21:46SPEAKER_04: And then there's the chorus again.
- 21:49SPEAKER_04: And the chorus again and the chorus again.
- 21:51SPEAKER_04: Uh so those two verses.
- 21:53SPEAKER_04: It's just two verses in the chorus.
- 21:54SPEAKER_04: Now he, as far as I know, as far as I th I he did not Uh write this alone.
- 22:02SPEAKER_04: I don't think.
- 22:03SPEAKER_04: But I could be wrong.
- 22:05SPEAKER_04: I could be wrong.
- 22:07SPEAKER_04: It doesn't say uh whether it was it was solely written by him or not.
- 22:11SPEAKER_04: But it's definitely uh Billy Joel song.
- 22:15SPEAKER_04: You know, just a song.
- 22:16SPEAKER_02: Yeah, Shane, I mean Shane, you know, nailed it on the on the on the head because the piano that is c that is quintessential, right?
- 22:25SPEAKER_02: Billy Joel.
- 22:27SPEAKER_09: Stuck on a hill.
- 22:29SPEAKER_09: Outsiders inside the home that we built.
- 22:33SPEAKER_09: The cold still is in.
- 22:35SPEAKER_04: That chord change right there is very Billy Joel.
- 22:37SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 22:38SPEAKER_04: Almost like a different like one of his songs already.
- 22:41SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 22:42SPEAKER_09: Maybe a love man.
- 22:44SPEAKER_09: Maybe a dumb.
- 23:07SPEAKER_04: I'm not gonna lie, I still love the song.
- 23:09SPEAKER_02: Oh, it's a it's a great song.
- 23:10SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 23:11SPEAKER_02: I mean, I I mean, I'm I'm looking forward to this album.
- 23:14SPEAKER_02: I well, see, that's a thing.
- 23:15SPEAKER_02: Has he has he is it gonna be on an album?
- 23:17SPEAKER_02: I have no idea, but it better be.
- 23:18SPEAKER_02: Because I I unless this was just like a one-off to, you know, like you said, test the waters and you know, see if there's still like Is there is there a market for me?
- 23:28SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 23:29SPEAKER_02: You know?
- 23:29SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 23:31SPEAKER_04: It's funny that you say that because I was reading an article today.
- 23:34SPEAKER_04: There's a big time producer who produced like the Scorpions and and a bunch of other big rock bands, and he said there's no use in making albums anymore.
- 23:42SPEAKER_04: No.
- 23:42SPEAKER_04: He says nobody's buying them because every week there's like 10,000 new albums that come out.
- 23:49SPEAKER_04: Every week, 10 across the world.
- 23:50SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah.
- 23:51SPEAKER_04: 10,000 new albums.
- 23:53SPEAKER_04: And he says the money is in live music.
- 23:56SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 23:57SPEAKER_04: You know?
- 23:57SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's not like the old days where you put out an album, people waiting online to get the album.
- 24:02SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 24:02SPEAKER_04: You know, it's it's you know it's just people consume music differently.
- 24:06SPEAKER_04: And I'm and uh you know, I've fallen into it.
- 24:08SPEAKER_04: I I of course I was listening to a record when you got here.
- 24:11SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 24:11SPEAKER_04: And I still listen to CDs once in a while, and you know, but I have most of the things I get on CD are in my iTunes, so I can play whatever I want, whenever I want, just at the click of a button.
- 24:22SPEAKER_04: I I I hate to say this, but I do have Spotify because it's the only place where you can if I want a particular song or songs from a particular artist, I can go there, type it in, and it comes up.
- 24:36SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 24:37SPEAKER_04: I I don't pay for it, it's the free one because I refuse to give Spotify any money.
- 24:41SPEAKER_02: Um but I Well, they're so generous with their, you know, what is it, like point zero zero zero zero two cents per download?
- 24:51SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah.
- 24:51SPEAKER_02: I mean come on.
- 24:52SPEAKER_02: I mean, these people are throwing up Yes.
- 24:59SPEAKER_02: What you said.
- 25:00SPEAKER_02: There's like there's like Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King, Leo Spotify.
- 25:07SPEAKER_02: I mean, these people are just saint.
- 25:10SPEAKER_02: I mean, he should be he he should be sainted.
- 25:12SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 25:14SPEAKER_04: Um you know, as far as streaming services, that's really the only one that I can think of that you can pull up an artist that well you can make like a playlist, correct?
- 25:23SPEAKER_04: Right, you can make a playlist.
- 25:24SPEAKER_04: Um and and you can't necessarily pick the song you want.
- 25:28SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 25:29SPEAKER_04: It's like, you know, yeah, you're just gonna get that artist.
- 25:31SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you'll get that artist, and hopefully one of those songs will hit.
- 25:35SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 25:35SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 25:36SPEAKER_04: Um you can go to YouTube, right?
- 25:39SPEAKER_04: You could type in a song on YouTube and and listen to that one song, but then you gotta type in something else.
- 25:45SPEAKER_02: Well, see, I have I have Sirius XM on my phone.
- 25:48SPEAKER_02: Yes, so do I and in my vehicles.
- 25:50SPEAKER_02: And I I find that if I want to listen to like like one day I typed in Stevie Ray Yeah and started playing some Stevie Ray songs, but then uh played some other blues songs and then it it interspersed with Stevie Ray.
- 26:04SPEAKER_04: No, you could do that.
- 26:04SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I mean I think it's only online though.
- 26:07SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 26:07SPEAKER_02: Because they have so many more channels available online than they do on the actual satellite.
- 26:14SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 26:14SPEAKER_04: So um so I don't know where I was going with this.
- 26:18SPEAKER_04: I have no idea either.
- 26:19SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 26:21SPEAKER_04: Oh no, because that's how we consume music.
- 26:23SPEAKER_02: Oh, right.
- 26:24SPEAKER_04: And I have fallen into that as well.
- 26:25SPEAKER_04: I still have my records, I still have my CDs.
- 26:27SPEAKER_02: Well, I mean, if I like an album, I'm gonna get it, I'm gonna download it immediately so I can have it.
- 26:32SPEAKER_02: Same.
- 26:32SPEAKER_02: But I'm also gonna buy the CD.
- 26:34SPEAKER_02: Same.
- 26:35SPEAKER_02: You know?
- 26:36SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 26:36SPEAKER_02: So I can have both.
- 26:38SPEAKER_04: Much to my wife's chagrin.
- 26:39SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I mean, it's not it's not popular.
- 26:41SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 26:42SPEAKER_02: Uh it's not easy on your pocketbook, but I mean, that's just the way it is.
- 26:45SPEAKER_02: It's honest.
- 26:46SPEAKER_02: I like that's the way I want to do it because they're not making any money.
- 26:48SPEAKER_02: When I download it, they're not making crap off that.
- 26:50SPEAKER_04: Right, that's true.
- 26:51SPEAKER_02: If I buy the CD, then they're gonna get some money off of it.
- 26:54SPEAKER_04: They're probably still making crap, but they're making more crap.
- 26:56SPEAKER_02: Well, they're making more crap than regular crap.
- 26:59SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah, for sure.
- 27:00SPEAKER_04: Um so as far as other um things that happened over the weekend, John Bon Jovi was the Music Cares person of the year.
- 27:11SPEAKER_04: Um they every every year Music Cares is a is a um organization that uh helps to provide medical insurance and things like that for musicians.
- 27:21SPEAKER_04: Oh, okay.
- 27:21SPEAKER_04: Who um obviously, you know, their money comes from live, you know, from touring and things like that.
- 27:29SPEAKER_04: And um not everybody is selling out arenas and not everybody is even even doing theaters, you know.
- 27:36SPEAKER_04: People are still struggling to live uh as musicians, as traveling and touring musicians.
- 27:43SPEAKER_04: And a lot of them can't afford insurance.
- 27:46SPEAKER_04: So music cares kind of um is a buffer for for those kind for those kind of musicians that are like in the trenches.
- 27:55SPEAKER_04: And so Music Cares picks a person every year to honor for their um philanthropy and for their you know, yeah.
- 28:03SPEAKER_04: Yeah, philanthropy.
- 28:04SPEAKER_04: And so this year they chose John Bon Jovi.
- 28:06SPEAKER_04: Now John Bon Jovi, he's got that soul kitchen um, you know, where he you you which I think you pay whatever you can.
- 28:13SPEAKER_04: You pay whatever you can, yeah.
- 28:15SPEAKER_04: And if you can't pay, then you don't pay.
- 28:17SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 28:18SPEAKER_04: So uh which is an interesting um an interesting way to do it.
- 28:24SPEAKER_02: That's not something you could make a chain of because you would just bleed money.
- 28:28SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 28:29SPEAKER_02: If you have one, yeah.
- 28:30SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you can do it.
- 28:31SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and and Bon Jovi John Bon Jovi can do it.
- 28:34SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I mean it's it's no skin off his back.
- 28:36SPEAKER_04: Right, exactly.
- 28:37SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
- 28:38SPEAKER_02: I mean, if he loses money, it's it's it's not gonna hurt him.
- 28:41SPEAKER_04: And so I think I think John Bon Jovi was a worthy candidate for Music Cares Person of the Year.
- 28:46SPEAKER_04: So anyway, they ha uh all the people came out uh to celebrate John Bon Jovi.
- 28:51SPEAKER_04: Uh Richie Cimbor did not.
- 28:54SPEAKER_04: Richie uh apparently his m um mum fell, so he had to go back to New Jersey.
- 28:59SPEAKER_04: Because everybody was talking about how John and Richie are gonna get back up on stage together.
- 29:03SPEAKER_04: You know, but they didn't.
- 29:05SPEAKER_04: Uh Bon Jovi's working on a new album.
- 29:07SPEAKER_04: I think we talked about that last week.
- 29:08SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 29:09SPEAKER_04: Um well they debuted a song um on the at the Music Cares event.
- 29:15SPEAKER_04: And there's a video of it I have, and it is called Legendary.
- 29:22SPEAKER_04: Um I'll just play it until you tell me what you think.
- 29:27SPEAKER_04: So this is this is live.
- 29:29SPEAKER_04: And the and the band, including Phil X, Phil X did an interview with um drummer.
- 29:35SPEAKER_04: Uh he's got his own podcast.
- 29:36SPEAKER_04: Kenny Arnoff.
- 29:37SPEAKER_04: Kenny Aronoff.
- 29:38SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 29:38SPEAKER_04: Uh did a did an interview with Kenny Aronoff and he said that he was the whole band is just jazzed about this new album.
- 29:45SPEAKER_04: What else are they gonna say?
- 29:47SPEAKER_04: This album's a piece of crap.
- 29:51SPEAKER_04: I should know.
- 29:52SPEAKER_04: Um of course you're gonna be jazzed about the new album because you want to sell the new album.
- 29:56SPEAKER_04: Exactly, yeah.
- 29:57SPEAKER_04: But Phil X, you know, he's honest in what he does.
- 30:00SPEAKER_04: Exactly.
- 30:00SPEAKER_02: If Phil X says it's he's jazzed about it, then Phil X is a good one.
- 30:04SPEAKER_04: He's not gonna he's not gonna put on uh so this is the first they they they did this song at the Music Cares event.
- 30:13SPEAKER_04: So I'm just gonna play a piece of it and you we'll talk about it.
- 30:16SPEAKER_04: So and the quality is not great, it's on a cell phone video.
- 32:02SPEAKER_04: So I don't know what to think.
- 32:05SPEAKER_04: Well, I mean I do know what I'll I'll tell you what I think.
- 32:08SPEAKER_04: Nope, I'm not gonna tell you what I think.
- 32:09SPEAKER_04: I want to hear what you think.
- 32:10SPEAKER_04: What is your initial impression?
- 32:11SPEAKER_02: Um, it's eh.
- 32:15SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
- 32:17SPEAKER_02: I I'm I found it interesting that during the voice uh during the verse, it's you can hear John very, very, very well.
- 32:26SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 32:27SPEAKER_02: They get to the chorus, all of a sudden he's buried.
- 32:29SPEAKER_04: He's buried, and the other guys are the other guys are singing.
- 32:33SPEAKER_02: They're trying to cover up that he's lost his range.
- 32:37SPEAKER_04: And I don't know if you've ever seen footage of him lately, like when he's just singing with his guitar.
- 32:43SPEAKER_04: Um I don't and and he hasn't always sung like this, but he enunciates everything now, and like his it's like um you know, he moves his mouth a certain way.
- 32:59SPEAKER_04: Just he just kind of enunciates and and he's got more of an accent, more of a Jersey accent now, or s or maybe it's not Jersey, but it's the way he says words now compared to like something from New Jersey or Slippery One Wet or even you know even later albums.
- 33:17SPEAKER_04: But it's just it's just and I I don't know how I know he's been struggling with his voice.
- 33:24SPEAKER_04: Yeah Richie Sambora even said that.
- 33:26SPEAKER_04: He said, uh he said, you know, I'm ready for a reunion, I'm ready to come back, and even in a small capacity, he said, uh, but John's John's got a thing with his voice.
- 33:34SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 33:35SPEAKER_04: He's he's working on that.
- 33:36SPEAKER_04: So you know, and the song you ever notice that the last three or four albums that Bon Jovi has done without Richie.
- 34:00SPEAKER_04: Um and even the even the last couple albums with Richie is the same format.
- 34:06SPEAKER_04: Yeah, the song is the same format.
- 34:08SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 34:08SPEAKER_04: You know, a a verse.
- 34:11SPEAKER_04: Uh kind of a milk toast verse.
- 34:15SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 34:16SPEAKER_04: A big catchy chorus that's inspiring.
- 34:20SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 34:20SPEAKER_04: And then at the end of that chorus is the title of the song.
- 34:24SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 34:24SPEAKER_02: No, it it's pretty formula.
- 34:26SPEAKER_04: It is very formula.
- 34:27SPEAKER_02: You know, and and I think maybe that's just I don't want to say they've lost it, but maybe that's just where they are.
- 34:36SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 34:39SPEAKER_02: Maybe he's gotten maybe he's running out of, you know, the tank's running on empty.
- 34:43SPEAKER_04: Well, I don't know.
- 34:44SPEAKER_04: I will say that you you mentioned you had you said a word earlier when we're talking about Billy Joel.
- 34:49SPEAKER_04: Uh relevant.
- 34:51SPEAKER_04: So I do think John Bon Jovi has a desire to stay relevant with his music.
- 35:02SPEAKER_02: I I'm I I I hate to say this, but I think that ship is sailed.
- 35:07SPEAKER_02: Well, if you notice the beginning I mean, they'll always be I mean, when anybody thinks of Bon Jovi, what do they think of?
- 35:15SPEAKER_02: Living on a prayer.
- 35:16SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 35:16SPEAKER_02: They live on they they they bring up the old stuff.
- 35:19SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 35:20SPEAKER_02: They're not talking about anything lately.
- 35:23SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 35:23SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
- 35:24SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 35:25SPEAKER_02: So so if you if he if you if you just base it on uh the first album, Slippery When Wet, New Jersey, uh maybe um the neck the one after that.
- 35:37SPEAKER_04: Um Keep the Faith.
- 35:39SPEAKER_04: Keep the Faith, yeah.
- 35:41SPEAKER_02: That body of work, that's what everybody talks about.
- 35:43SPEAKER_02: That's that's the song's I think maybe up till Crush.
- 35:47SPEAKER_04: It's it's interesting that you say that.
- 35:49SPEAKER_04: First of all, I want to I want to we'll come back to that.
- 35:51SPEAKER_04: Uh this part.
- 35:53SPEAKER_04: When this song starts, and they start going Yeah, that's a modern rock thing.
- 36:02SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 36:02SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 36:03SPEAKER_02: I was about to say, I've been I've I've heard that a lot before.
- 36:07SPEAKER_04: But Bon Jovi has done that on the last album or two.
- 36:09SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 36:10SPEAKER_04: The big, the big um, it's it's a it's a new thing.
- 36:13SPEAKER_04: It's not a it's not a uh a rock thing, it's a like a pop thing.
- 36:18SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 36:18SPEAKER_04: Um and and he's embraced that.
- 36:21SPEAKER_04: So the reason I was uh I was gonna you were talking about how they concentrate on the older stuff.
- 36:26SPEAKER_04: So they had a bunch of guest artists come out, you know, who's who uh of today um and yesterday uh come come and pay tribute to John Bow Jovi.
- 36:37SPEAKER_04: Sure.
- 36:38SPEAKER_04: So uh people like uh Springsteen was there, Melissa Etheridge, Jelly Roll, uh Laney Wilson, Pat Monahan from Train, Shania Twain, Jason Isbell, Goo Goo Dolls, The War and the Treaty, uh Wolfgang Van Halen.
- 36:53SPEAKER_04: Really?
- 36:54SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 36:55SPEAKER_04: Um uh Marcus King, Sammy Hagar, uh Brandy Clark.
- 36:59SPEAKER_04: I mean Sammy Belcher.
- 37:00SPEAKER_04: Sammy Belcher, yep.
- 37:02SPEAKER_04: Um, but so so these are the songs that they did.
- 37:06SPEAKER_04: Okay?
- 37:07SPEAKER_04: So Melissa Etheridge did Blaze of Glory, which is old from Young Guns 2.
- 37:13SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 37:13SPEAKER_04: Jelly Roll did Bad Medicine from New Jersey.
- 37:17SPEAKER_04: Uh Pat Monaghan and Pat Monaghan did It's My Life.
- 37:22SPEAKER_04: But then later Wolfgang also did It's My Life.
- 37:25SPEAKER_04: So there were two, yeah, I guess so.
- 37:28SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 37:28SPEAKER_05: But It's My Life is 24 years old.
- 37:31SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I was gonna say that's a that's 2000.
- 37:33SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 37:33SPEAKER_04: That's crazy.
- 37:34SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 37:34SPEAKER_04: That's hard to believe.
- 37:35SPEAKER_04: Um, which is my daughter's new favorite song, actually, for some reason.
- 37:39SPEAKER_04: Um Shania Twain, uh Bed of Roses, which comes from Right, which comes from uh um Keep the Faith.
- 37:47SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 37:48SPEAKER_04: Uh Wante Dead or Alive, Jason Isabel, uh D Damiano David, uh Keep the Faith.

- 37:59SPEAKER_04: Born to Be My Baby, Marcus King.
- 38:01SPEAKER_04: Sammy Hagar, did You Give Love a Bad Name?
- 38:04SPEAKER_04: Uh so the only two the two newest songs were Lainey Wilson, she did We Weren't Born to Follow.
- 38:13SPEAKER_04: Which have you ever heard that song?
- 38:16SPEAKER_02: Probably.
- 38:17SPEAKER_04: Um, and Brandy Clark did You Wanna Make a Memory, and the Google Dolls did This House Is Not for Sale.
- 38:25SPEAKER_02: Yeah, see uh that I'm that just proving my point.
- 38:30SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 38:30SPEAKER_02: You know?
- 38:31SPEAKER_02: Most of them stuck to stuck to old, you know, like pre you know, pre-2000 era stuff.
- 38:40SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 38:40SPEAKER_04: This is the uh but this is like it's formulaic.
- 38:52SPEAKER_04: It's it's a good song and it's catchy.
- 38:55SPEAKER_10: So he's gonna start singing in a cool da, it's wonderful, it's a thing, it can't stay like this anymore.
- 39:27SPEAKER_04: Yeah, big course.
- 39:34SPEAKER_04: It's my live This is from 2009.
- 39:48SPEAKER_04: And then this one, you want to make a memory?
- 39:51SPEAKER_04: Who did this?
- 39:52SPEAKER_04: Brandy Clark did this one.
- 39:54SPEAKER_04: And you probably never even heard this.
- 40:14SPEAKER_04: This was on their country album.
- 40:16SPEAKER_04: That's why I never heard that.
- 40:17SPEAKER_04: Well, I saw I lost IWIC.
- 40:20SPEAKER_10: If you don't but this is still Richie.
- 40:23SPEAKER_04: Richie's in the band.
- 40:32SPEAKER_04: And then this one, the Google dolls did it.
- 40:37SPEAKER_04: But again, same formula.
- 41:24SPEAKER_02: Now, it's it's it's it's predictable.
- 41:28SPEAKER_02: It is predictable.
- 41:30SPEAKER_02: But that's what sells.
- 41:31SPEAKER_02: I'm not saying it's bad.
- 41:32SPEAKER_02: No, it's not bad.
- 41:34SPEAKER_02: It's just predictable.

- 41:35SPEAKER_02: You know it's coming.
- 41:36SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 41:37SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
- 41:37SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 41:38SPEAKER_04: So I'm hoping, although when we heard the first single Legendary, I'm hoping that the album doesn't sound like legendary.
- 41:46SPEAKER_04: Not that a legendary is bad, the new uh the new song Legendary.
- 41:49SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 41:50SPEAKER_04: I'm not that it's bad.

- 41:58SPEAKER_04: This will be the first studio album that he's on.
- 42:00SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so hopefully it will be different.

- 42:30SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 42:31SPEAKER_02: Because if you let Phil X go, man, he will do some amazing things.
- 42:34SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 42:35SPEAKER_02: Well, it's but I but I understand because you're under the um Bon Jovi umbrella.

- 46:57SPEAKER_02: She'll have a d she'll have a direct line from the stud from the stadium to the airport.
- 47:03SPEAKER_02: I mean, it's not like she's gonna have to wait in traffic.
- 47:07SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
- 47:08SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 47:08SPEAKER_02: If they don't have like police escort and like her own highway right from the stadium to the to the airport, they're gonna helicopter her from the stadium to the airport.
- 47:19SPEAKER_04: Well I remember seeing uh they did that for Paul McCartney when he was coming to a Billy Joel show at uh Shea Stadium or something like that.
- 47:25SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 47:25SPEAKER_02: I mean the Japanese are very efficient.

- 47:48SPEAKER_02: The plane, she doesn't have to wait for anybody.
- 47:51SPEAKER_02: It's her plane.
- 47:52SPEAKER_04: Right.

- 48:01SPEAKER_02: That plane's gonna take off.
- 48:03SPEAKER_04: How many times do you think they'll show her during the Super Bowl?
- 48:06SPEAKER_04: Too many.
- 48:07SPEAKER_04: Way too many.
- 48:09SPEAKER_02: I think.
- 48:10SPEAKER_02: Which you know, I think it bothers her.
- 48:12SPEAKER_02: It probably does because she's she's just there to watch Travis.
- 48:16SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 48:16SPEAKER_02: I get that.
- 48:17SPEAKER_02: I mean, I don't have a problem with them showing her.
- 48:20SPEAKER_05: I don't have a problem, to be honest with you, besides, you know, I mean it's not her.
- 48:25SPEAKER_02: It's not what she's doing.
- 48:27SPEAKER_02: It's what?
- 48:27SPEAKER_02: It's the NFL.
- 48:29SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 48:29SPEAKER_02: They are capitalizing on the fact and the media are capitalizing on the fact that she's there.
- 48:34SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 48:36SPEAKER_02: They're making buttloads of money off her just being there.
- 48:41SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 48:42unknown: Yep.
- 48:42SPEAKER_02: I mean, the Kansas City Chiefs are now the new Patriots because of her.
- 48:47SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 48:49SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
- 48:50SPEAKER_02: It's true.
- 48:50SPEAKER_02: It really is.
- 48:51SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 48:52SPEAKER_02: And you know, there's gonna be people watching the Super Bowl because of her.
- 48:56SPEAKER_02: Not for the halftime show.
- 48:58SPEAKER_02: Not for the commercials, not for the commercials, but because she is going to be there.
- 49:02SPEAKER_05: We're gonna see Taylor Swift.
- 49:03SPEAKER_02: We're gonna see Taylor Swift.
- 49:05SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 49:06SPEAKER_04: And you know, this is not we're not slamming Taylor Swift because I have I have a lot of respect for Taylor Swift.
- 49:12SPEAKER_02: Um I have I have no problem with Taylor Swift.
- 49:15SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 49:15SPEAKER_02: I don't I don't care for her music.
- 49:17SPEAKER_02: I don't care for her new music.
- 49:19SPEAKER_02: I don't care for any of her music.
- 49:20SPEAKER_02: I have one, I have one Taylor Swift song on my iPod.
- 49:23SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 49:23SPEAKER_02: One.
- 49:25SPEAKER_02: I like it.
- 49:26SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 49:26SPEAKER_02: It's that cheerleader one.
- 49:28SPEAKER_02: Uh um the cheerleader I I can't even remember what it is.
- 49:30SPEAKER_04: I don't either.
- 49:31SPEAKER_02: It was like forever ago.
- 49:32SPEAKER_02: It was back when she was still country.
- 49:34SPEAKER_04: Oh, uh You Belong With Me?
- 49:36SPEAKER_04: Yes, that's the song.
- 49:37SPEAKER_04: I I I don't know.
- 49:38SPEAKER_04: It's irritating to me.
- 49:39SPEAKER_04: I liked it.
- 49:40SPEAKER_04: That whole era, uh see what I did there?
- 49:42SPEAKER_04: Eras?
- 49:42SPEAKER_06: Yeah, yeah.
- 49:43SPEAKER_04: That whole era of Taylor Swift um before she went, and even some of her pop stuff is okay, her early pop stuff, but the whole era before that, I like all her stuff.
- 49:53SPEAKER_04: You know, she was she's a very talented writer, she's a great performer.
- 49:57SPEAKER_04: I saw her live, and I said after I saw her, I said she deserves everything that she's got because she puts on a good show.
- 50:03SPEAKER_02: She does.
- 50:04SPEAKER_02: She's a great performer, she's you know, and everything like that.
- 50:06SPEAKER_02: I'm not I'm not taking, I'm not trying to say that she sucks or anything.
- 50:10SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 50:10SPEAKER_04: I'm just saying over exposure.
- 50:13SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and it's not necessarily her fault.
- 50:15SPEAKER_02: And then and that that's the same way I felt about nickelback.
- 50:18SPEAKER_02: When nickelback was huge, that's all you could see was nickelback this, nickelback that.
- 50:22SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 50:23SPEAKER_02: Now it's Taylor Swift this, Taylor Swift that.
- 50:25SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 50:25SPEAKER_02: I just like, because you know me, if it's super popular, I'm totally against it.
- 50:31SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 50:32SPEAKER_04: Well, it's like so we were playing Saturday night, and we had we had a friend of ours come up to us and say, Do you know any any music from from this this artist?
- 50:42SPEAKER_04: And we're just like, oh no, we don't.
- 50:44SPEAKER_04: And I and I know this artist, and this artist is great.
- 50:47SPEAKER_04: Um but uh you know, and you had never heard of this artist.

- 55:18SPEAKER_02: Absolutely not.
- 55:19SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 55:19SPEAKER_02: Lulu is a piece of crap.
- 55:22SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 55:22SPEAKER_04: I don't think Metallica did that.
- 55:24SPEAKER_04: I think uh Lou Reed did that with Metallica.
- 55:26SPEAKER_02: But it's still a piece they put their name on it and it is crap.
- 55:29SPEAKER_02: I don't even own it.
- 55:30SPEAKER_02: I don't want anything to do with it.
- 55:31SPEAKER_04: It is crap.

- 55:36SPEAKER_02: There are some good moments.
- 55:38SPEAKER_02: There's some good moments, there's some really crap moments.
- 55:40SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 55:41SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 55:42SPEAKER_02: I.e.
- 55:43SPEAKER_02: Lars's snare drum.
- 55:44SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 55:45SPEAKER_02: It's terrible.
- 55:45SPEAKER_02: I think he even admits that now.
- 55:47SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's just awful.
- 55:48SPEAKER_02: The drum sound is awful.
- 55:49SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 55:50SPEAKER_02: But anyway, but you know, you know, I'm a huge rush fan.
- 55:53SPEAKER_02: I love Rush.

- 55:55SPEAKER_02: Is everything they do gold?
- 55:57SPEAKER_04: No.
- 55:57SPEAKER_04: Yeah, but with T Swift, you're saying their fan, her fans are like everything she does.
- 56:01SPEAKER_02: Everything she does, she's got the mightest touch.
- 56:04SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 56:04SPEAKER_02: It's amazing.
- 56:05SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 56:06SPEAKER_02: You know, the the I mean, I just want them to be a little more critical.
- 56:11SPEAKER_04: Realistic.
- 56:12SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 56:13SPEAKER_02: Yeah, there you there you go.
- 56:14SPEAKER_02: That's the word I'm looking for.
- 56:15SPEAKER_02: Be more realistic.
- 56:15SPEAKER_02: I mean, yeah, I mean, she's great.
- 56:17SPEAKER_02: Don't get me wrong.
- 56:18SPEAKER_02: She's good at what she does, but everything she does is not amazing.
- 56:21SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 56:22SPEAKER_02: It's not the best thing ever to happen to you.
- 56:24SPEAKER_04: I feel the same way about because we also got a request for Morgan Wallen.
- 56:28SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that's another guy I don't think.
- 56:30SPEAKER_04: Morgan Wallen is huge in in country circles.
- 56:33SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 56:33SPEAKER_04: I don't like his music.
- 56:34SPEAKER_04: I don't get it.
- 56:35SPEAKER_04: I don't get it.
- 56:35SPEAKER_04: I don't get what's so special about it.
- 56:37SPEAKER_04: I don't either.
- 56:37SPEAKER_02: I don't I don't know.
- 56:38SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 56:38SPEAKER_02: I mean, I mean, I'm not taking away from his talent or anything like that.
- 56:42SPEAKER_02: Me either.
- 56:42SPEAKER_02: He's very talented what he does, but I just I it's not my thing.
- 56:46SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 56:46SPEAKER_02: And that's okay.
- 56:47SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 56:48SPEAKER_02: And that's the way it should be.
- 56:49SPEAKER_02: I mean, if we all like the same thing all the time, how boring would we be?
- 56:53SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
- 56:53SPEAKER_02: You know?
- 56:54SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 56:54SPEAKER_02: So I mean, I don't know.

- 59:03SPEAKER_02: I have to say, I was gonna say this to you earlier.
- 59:06SPEAKER_02: Um, every time we play together, I I get more comfortable and I'm liking it more and more.
- 59:14SPEAKER_02: I was a little self-conscious when we first started.
- 59:16SPEAKER_02: Because I'm I'm not a lead singer at all.
- 59:19SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 59:19SPEAKER_02: But the more that we do every time we play and every time we nail a song, I'm like, this could happen.
- 59:26SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 59:26SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 59:26SPEAKER_02: You know, it's true.
- 59:28SPEAKER_02: This could work.
- 59:29SPEAKER_04: We're doing so our first gig is coming up uh in March.
- 59:33SPEAKER_04: Uh and it's kind of a well, I uh it's not a paid gig.
- 59:38SPEAKER_04: It's just one of those things we're we're just kind of testing the waters and we're playing for a high school.
- 59:42SPEAKER_02: Um and I'm not even sure they're all gonna be high school.
- 59:45SPEAKER_02: I think they're gonna be like little kids there.
- 59:46SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I I don't know that I don't this is John Simonov, who's the music teacher at this particular high school, uh, has arranged for his band to play for the student body.
- 59:57SPEAKER_02: Um we're just gonna Well the way he put it was he's like I was walking through the halls and the school secretary, whom I'm scared of, uh, was like You know her, right?
- 1:00:06SPEAKER_02: Yes, because she's she's seen us many times.
- 1:00:09SPEAKER_02: Oh yes.
- 1:00:10SPEAKER_02: Uh but yeah, he was like, What do you you got a band that can do this?
- 1:00:13SPEAKER_02: He was like, uh yeah.
- 1:00:17SPEAKER_04: So we're filling a void for their I guess it's their winter carnival type thing.
- 1:00:21SPEAKER_02: No, I I don't they're doing something every Friday because there's no school vacations in March.
- 1:00:26SPEAKER_04: Oh, okay.
- 1:00:27SPEAKER_02: So you got February vacation, you got April vacation, but March is just like a like a wasteland.
- 1:00:31SPEAKER_02: It's just it's a very long so they're doing something just to on Fridays in March just to break up, you know, so they don't hate their lives.
- 1:00:40SPEAKER_02: I didn't know that.
- 1:00:41SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that that's what John told me.
- 1:00:42SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 1:00:43SPEAKER_02: Because I had asked him about it.
- 1:00:44SPEAKER_04: So so we're doing we're doing well, I mean, we're you and I are born in the 70s, raised in the eighties.
- 1:00:51SPEAKER_04: Um but there's a si significant part of the nineties which was special for us, especially as musicians.
- 1:00:56SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:00:56SPEAKER_04: Because that's kind of when we got together and started playing music.
- 1:00:59SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 1:01:00SPEAKER_04: Right?
- 1:01:00SPEAKER_04: And so um and John is was I think probably born in the eighties and raised in the nineties.
- 1:01:06SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:01:07SPEAKER_04: Right?
- 1:01:07SPEAKER_04: Yeah, Chris Morton the same way.
- 1:01:09SPEAKER_04: Same way, yeah.
- 1:01:10SPEAKER_04: So this music is pretty special to them.
- 1:01:12SPEAKER_04: We're doing everything from from uh lit and collective soul and uh Green Day, Foo Fighters, Foo Fighters, um you name it.
- 1:01:24SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:01:24SPEAKER_04: I mean we're we're probably doing it.
- 1:01:26SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it's a couple things from the 80s, Tears for Fears from the 80s.
- 1:01:30SPEAKER_04: That's gonna be fun, yeah.
- 1:01:30SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so uh but I I don't know.
- 1:01:34SPEAKER_04: I I never thought that we could I don't know, it's just four of us, and we get together and it's like we play we we hear a song and we can play it after we hear it.
- 1:01:44SPEAKER_04: I know.
- 1:01:45SPEAKER_04: It's amazing, it's crazy.
- 1:01:47SPEAKER_04: It is crazy, and it's not perfect, no, but that's what's cool about it.
- 1:01:50SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's just fun.
- 1:01:51SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it's really fun.
- 1:01:53SPEAKER_05: Every time we play a song, it's like wow, that was cool.
- 1:01:55SPEAKER_03: That was fun.
- 1:01:56SPEAKER_03: That was fun.
- 1:01:56SPEAKER_05: Can we do it again?
- 1:01:57SPEAKER_05: Yeah, let's do it again.
- 1:01:59SPEAKER_05: So it's just a it's a fun band.
- 1:02:01SPEAKER_02: It is a fun band.
- 1:02:02SPEAKER_02: It's a really fun band.
- 1:02:02SPEAKER_04: We all have we're having a great time.
- 1:02:04SPEAKER_04: Yeah, we've we'll we'll see how it is when we play on stage.
- 1:02:07SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:02:07SPEAKER_04: Um, you know, but yeah, no, it'll be it'll be good.
- 1:02:10SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it'll be good.
- 1:02:11SPEAKER_04: I'm looking, I'm looking forward to it.
- 1:02:12SPEAKER_04: I'm excited.
- 1:02:12SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 1:02:13SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I'm excited about it.
- 1:02:14SPEAKER_04: Okay, so I'm gonna climb the wall.
- 1:02:15SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 1:02:16SPEAKER_05: And you got uh something from A Hard Days Right.
- 1:02:18SPEAKER_05: I got an entry from A Hard Days Right by Steve Turner.
- 1:02:23SPEAKER_02: Uh this is from the Hard Days Night album.
- 1:02:26SPEAKER_02: Oh, nice.
- 1:02:27SPEAKER_02: So the song is called I Should Have Known Better, which is one of my favorite ones.
- 1:02:32SPEAKER_02: Uh, released as the flip side of A Hard Days Night in America, I Should Have Known Better was the first song in the film and was performed in a sequence where the Beatles and Paul's quote grandfather, played by Wilfred Brambell, are on a train and banish to the mail van.
- 1:02:49SPEAKER_02: They start playing cards and several cuts later appear with the guitar, harmonica, and drums.
- 1:02:55SPEAKER_02: It is yeah, it is a little bizarre.
- 1:02:58SPEAKER_02: Um it just seemed the natural place to have the first number, said Alan Owen, who uh directed the movie.
- 1:03:05SPEAKER_02: Uh although much of the filming took place on trains traveling between London and the West Country, I should have known better was actually filmed on a set at Twickenham Film Studios.
- 1:03:17SPEAKER_02: Surprisingly, for a song by John, it is very optimistic.
- 1:03:21SPEAKER_02: He loves her, she loves him, and everything is fine.
- 1:03:25SPEAKER_02: Nice.
- 1:03:26SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 1:03:26SPEAKER_02: Nice.
- 1:03:27SPEAKER_04: That is one of my favorite Beatles songs, actually.
- 1:03:29SPEAKER_02: That's what of course it's one of my favorite movies.
- 1:03:31SPEAKER_02: It's one of my favorite albums.
- 1:03:33SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 1:03:34SPEAKER_04: I like the early Beatles stuff, you know, the catchy poppy stuff, you know.
- 1:03:37SPEAKER_02: Yeah, the poppy, the pop pop albums.
- 1:03:39SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I like them.
- 1:03:40SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 1:03:40SPEAKER_02: And I like the psychedelic albums.
- 1:03:42SPEAKER_02: I do too.
- 1:03:43SPEAKER_05: I do too, but I think I prefer, I almost prefer the earlier stuff.
- 1:03:46SPEAKER_02: It all depends on what you're feeling.
- 1:03:48SPEAKER_02: I mean, if you want something poppy and you know, snappy, you know, yeah, you're gonna put on the early Beatles.
- 1:03:53SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 1:03:53SPEAKER_02: But if you want something deep and like very, you know, very heavy, you're gonna listen to the later stuff, you know.
- 1:03:59SPEAKER_04: I have to say, I have to say.
- 1:04:01SPEAKER_04: So speaking of the later stuff, my my high school chorus is doing a Beatles song.
- 1:04:08SPEAKER_04: Sorry.
- 1:04:09SPEAKER_05: Tickle in my throat, tickle.
- 1:04:11SPEAKER_04: Um and they can't get over the lyrics because let's face it, the Beatles were not um choir boys.
- 1:04:22SPEAKER_04: Um, so we're doing a song called Because.
- 1:04:26SPEAKER_03: Oh, it's a beautiful song.
- 1:04:28SPEAKER_04: A beautiful song.
- 1:04:29SPEAKER_04: Almost classical.
- 1:04:30SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:04:31SPEAKER_04: Um but the lyrics because the world is round, it turns me on.
- 1:04:38SPEAKER_04: Because the world is round, because the wind is high, it of course I can't remember it now.
- 1:04:48SPEAKER_04: But the the lyrics don't make sense at all.
- 1:04:51SPEAKER_02: No.
- 1:04:52SPEAKER_04: And my kids, you know, the the high school kids are like, what does this even mean?
- 1:04:57SPEAKER_04: I was like, so the Beatles might have been on something when they did this one.
- 1:05:01SPEAKER_02: There might have been chemical enhancements.
- 1:05:04SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 1:05:05SPEAKER_04: But I will tell you that it is beautiful.
- 1:05:07SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that's awesome.
- 1:05:08SPEAKER_04: Such a beautiful song.

- 1:05:16SPEAKER_02: Um A lot of things happen when you're reading.
- 1:05:21SPEAKER_04: So I guess um I'm gonna say let the guessing begin.
- 1:05:26SPEAKER_04: Alright.

- 1:06:09SPEAKER_02: I know we've done Sean Colvin, but I know.
- 1:06:11SPEAKER_04: This is one of my favorite Sean Colvin albums.

- 1:06:18SPEAKER_04: She's a fantastic songwriter.
- 1:06:20SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 1:06:20SPEAKER_04: I like her voice.

- 1:06:27SPEAKER_04: Um and I love his production style.
- 1:06:32SPEAKER_04: So I love what he does to her music.
- 1:06:36SPEAKER_04: Um I think we we must have done Sunday Came Home at one point.
- 1:06:40SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah.
- 1:06:41SPEAKER_04: That was probably the one that we did.
- 1:06:43SPEAKER_04: Um But I love John Levithal.
- 1:06:46SPEAKER_04: And John Levithal actually just came out with his own, his very first album.
- 1:06:51SPEAKER_04: And he's like 70 something, I think.
- 1:06:53SPEAKER_04: But it was it's his debut album.
- 1:06:56SPEAKER_04: Uh and it's called This will be the third time we've done this.
- 1:06:59SPEAKER_02: No, it's not.
- 1:07:01SPEAKER_02: She has a check mark by her name already.
- 1:07:04SPEAKER_02: This will be number three.
- 1:07:07SPEAKER_02: I hope we didn't do this.
- 1:07:09SPEAKER_02: I don't remember doing this album.
- 1:07:10SPEAKER_02: Well, this was a long time ago.
- 1:07:11SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I don't remember doing this album, though.
- 1:07:13SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:07:13SPEAKER_04: This was a long time ago.
- 1:07:14SPEAKER_04: You can tell me whether like I'll play some songs from it, and you can tell me whether it's not that you care.
- 1:07:19SPEAKER_04: But um John Leventhal just came out with uh his own uh album and it is called Rumble Strip.
- 1:07:27SPEAKER_04: Uh and it's it's pretty cool.
- 1:07:30SPEAKER_04: Oh, I was thinking Rumble C by uh John Mental.
- 1:07:32SPEAKER_04: John Mellencamp, yeah.
- 1:07:33SPEAKER_04: Uh uh John Leventhal is now married to Roseanne Cash.
- 1:07:37SPEAKER_04: So she now he does all her albums.
- 1:07:39SPEAKER_04: And John Leventhal does like Mark Cohn, like his introduction.
- 1:07:44SPEAKER_04: So he's got a s a signature sound.
- 1:07:46SPEAKER_04: Uh and what he does to Sean Colvin's music is just really cool.
- 1:07:50SPEAKER_04: But she does a lot of stripped-down stuff.
- 1:07:52SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:07:52SPEAKER_04: Um acoustic.
- 1:07:53SPEAKER_04: And and but I love her songwriting.
- 1:07:56SPEAKER_04: It's very personal.
- 1:07:57SPEAKER_04: I just ordered her autobiography, actually.
- 1:08:00SPEAKER_04: I'm coming in the mail.
- 1:08:02SPEAKER_04: But so this album is called Um These Four Walls.
- 1:08:09SPEAKER_04: Um and I'm gonna play uh a couple pieces.
- 1:08:13SPEAKER_04: And you'll you'll know why I like it.
- 1:08:16SPEAKER_04: Or I already do.
- 1:08:21SPEAKER_04: Right?
- 1:08:21SPEAKER_04: Just that guitar.
- 1:08:22SPEAKER_04: She's an amazing guitar player, underrated guitar player.
- 1:08:40SPEAKER_07: Fill me up, fill me up, good of God.
- 1:08:44SPEAKER_04: This is the kind of album I'd like to make with my music.
- 1:08:46SPEAKER_04: Yeah, just sitting with the acoustic guitar.
- 1:08:49SPEAKER_04: Have a band.
- 1:08:50SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you know.
- 1:08:51SPEAKER_02: But that very minimal sound.
- 1:08:54SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:08:55SPEAKER_07: But this it gets bigger, but I love his production.
- 1:09:48SPEAKER_04: It gets bigger, obviously.
- 1:09:49SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:09:54SPEAKER_02: What I like about Sean Colvin is that you can't pigeonhole her.
- 1:09:57SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 1:09:58SPEAKER_02: Right?
- 1:09:59SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
- 1:10:00SPEAKER_02: It's right.
- 1:10:01SPEAKER_02: You never know what she's gonna do.
- 1:10:03SPEAKER_04: Um maybe it w maybe we did do this album because this doesn't sound familiar.
- 1:10:08SPEAKER_02: It doesn't?
- 1:10:09SPEAKER_04: No.
- 1:10:09SPEAKER_04: Well, well, and I'll tell you why here in a second.
- 1:10:11SPEAKER_04: I'm gonna play a couple more tracks.
- 1:10:13SPEAKER_07: So this is I'm gonna die in these four walls.
- 1:10:18SPEAKER_02: Just title drag, I take it.
- 1:10:19SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:10:37SPEAKER_07: Show me trouble, I'll take him down.
- 1:10:40SPEAKER_02: You know, it's funny you mentioned that.
- 1:10:42SPEAKER_07: I drew it on.
- 1:10:44SPEAKER_02: We had that on our our our album.
- 1:10:47SPEAKER_02: With which album with uh Elizabeth Street when we did it in the studio.
- 1:10:52SPEAKER_00: Uh-huh.
- 1:10:52SPEAKER_02: When you were playing the first part of it, you could hear you tapping your foot on the studio floor.
- 1:10:58SPEAKER_02: Really?
- 1:10:59SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:11:00SPEAKER_02: I don't know if it stayed in the final mix.
- 1:11:02SPEAKER_02: I can't remember if it's in the final mix, but I remember hearing it while you were playing that.
- 1:11:07SPEAKER_02: And then when we started mixing it, I was like, oh man, I hope he keeps that in there.
- 1:11:11SPEAKER_02: I can't remember if he did or not.
- 1:11:14SPEAKER_02: I don't remember either.
- 1:11:15SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:11:17SPEAKER_02: But I always I always like that because it's some there's something very natural about that.
- 1:11:23SPEAKER_02: I agree.
- 1:11:24SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
- 1:11:24SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 1:11:27SPEAKER_07: I was a tough kid.
- 1:11:28SPEAKER_07: You was a tough kid.
- 1:11:31SPEAKER_07: It took a lot of things.
- 1:11:32SPEAKER_02: Yeah, see now her voice is completely different than the last two songs.
- 1:11:35SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:11:36SPEAKER_02: See, that's why you can't be like, oh, that's a Sean Colvin song.
- 1:11:40SPEAKER_04: You don't know, but I'm just skipping around.
- 1:11:49SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah, summer dress.
- 1:11:51SPEAKER_04: This is a great song.
- 1:11:52SPEAKER_07: I put on my fine summer dress, so light and thin it was my best.
- 1:12:02SPEAKER_07: I brushed my hair, I held my breath, I went out to face the wilderness, I went out to face the wilderness.
- 1:12:21SPEAKER_07: The men in hats, the boys on bikes.
- 1:12:27SPEAKER_04: I just I just I love her stuff.
- 1:12:29SPEAKER_04: I mean it's so just natural.
- 1:12:31SPEAKER_07: Yeah, you know the stars.
- 1:12:33SPEAKER_04: This is one of my favorite too.
- 1:12:36SPEAKER_04: This has guest vocals from Mark Cohn and Patty Griffin.
- 1:12:45SPEAKER_07: That's where we will go to try to feel better.
- 1:12:54SPEAKER_07: Um hot summer breed tops to the treat of reaching forever.
- 1:13:06SPEAKER_07: So you'll take all the things that you felt I never did show With a picture in your head of somebody that you never did know.
- 1:13:18SPEAKER_07: You put them all in a box and you miss them on a row.
- 1:13:24SPEAKER_07: But all the money in the world is never gonna let you go.
- 1:13:40SPEAKER_04: That'll be Patty Griffin.
- 1:13:47SPEAKER_04: Just wanna play you the uh contribution that Mark Cohen does here.
- 1:13:54SPEAKER_04: Yes, I'm skipping.
- 1:14:18SPEAKER_04: So here's the reason I think we may have done this album.
- 1:14:21SPEAKER_04: Does that any of that sound familiar to you?
- 1:14:24SPEAKER_04: No.
- 1:14:24SPEAKER_04: Well no, it does not.
- 1:14:26unknown: Two, three, go.
- 1:14:28SPEAKER_04: She covered the Bee Gees words.
- 1:14:32SPEAKER_04: Have I ever played this?
- 1:14:38SPEAKER_04: Nope.
- 1:14:41SPEAKER_04: Doesn't sound familiar.
- 1:14:44SPEAKER_04: To me, this is one of Barry Gibbs' greatest songs.
- 1:14:54SPEAKER_04: Heard the original.
- 1:14:55SPEAKER_03: Yeah, well, yeah, yeah.
- 1:14:58SPEAKER_04: Back when people used to mistake them for the Beatles.
- 1:15:02SPEAKER_02: Well, I mean, it was that whole Sergeant Pepper thing.
- 1:15:04SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 1:15:09SPEAKER_04: This is you know, I say this a lot, but this might be one of my Desert uh Island albums.
- 1:15:14SPEAKER_02: You have a lot of those.
- 1:15:14SPEAKER_04: I do have a lot of those.
- 1:15:17SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:15:18SPEAKER_02: If you if you actually took all your desert albums, there'd be no more room for you.
- 1:15:24SPEAKER_00: It's true.
- 1:15:26SPEAKER_02: You'd have to live on a on a raft.
- 1:15:28SPEAKER_02: I love my music.
- 1:15:29SPEAKER_02: I love my music.
- 1:15:30SPEAKER_06: What can I say?
- 1:15:33SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:15:33SPEAKER_04: So Sean Colvin, uh, These Four Walls is the uh album of the week.
- 1:15:37SPEAKER_04: Um really anything from Sean Colvin.
- 1:15:40SPEAKER_04: Um I love her stuff.
- 1:15:41SPEAKER_04: There's a couple stinkers out there.
- 1:15:43SPEAKER_04: Actually, not really stinkers.
- 1:15:45SPEAKER_07: I'm here if you should come.
- 1:15:47SPEAKER_04: Well, not everything is gonna be Right.
- 1:15:50SPEAKER_04: And and I I say stinkers.
- 1:15:52SPEAKER_04: There's an album that she doesn't like very much.
- 1:15:54SPEAKER_04: Oh.
- 1:15:56SPEAKER_04: I don't even know.
- 1:15:56SPEAKER_04: Because I think it's because of um what was happening during the making of the album.
- 1:16:02SPEAKER_04: Oh sure, yeah.
- 1:16:03SPEAKER_02: Well, I mean, you know, that can always, you know, taint your feeling towards uh towards anything, you know what I mean?
- 1:16:10SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:16:11SPEAKER_04: Um but yeah, I highly recommend Sean Colvin.
- 1:16:14SPEAKER_04: Um I'll probably listen to that tonight, as a matter of fact.
