1:26
SPEAKER_01: It's been a minute.
1:28
SPEAKER_01: Um, so since our last episode, we have had what I would call uh you could probably argue this, but I think most most of the people in our band, the Star City Syndicate, would agree.
1:41
SPEAKER_01: Our best gig ever.
1:43
SPEAKER_01: Oh, I agree.
1:45
SPEAKER_01: Uh and I don't know.
1:46
SPEAKER_13: Well, I mean, it was best gig, best venue.
1:48
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, definitely best venue.
1:50
SPEAKER_01: You know.
1:50
SPEAKER_01: Um we felt like we were moving up in the world.
1:54
SPEAKER_13: For a second, for it it really felt like being a rock star.
1:58
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it did.
1:59
SPEAKER_01: And and uh for for a couple different reasons.
2:02
SPEAKER_01: Right.
2:03
SPEAKER_01: So let's let's go back.
2:06
SPEAKER_01: So uh every year uh the Maine Music Educators Association puts on a conference uh called the All State Music Festival.
2:16
SPEAKER_01: And it meh like that better.
2:26
SPEAKER_13: What party are you with?
2:27
SPEAKER_13: Who are you with?
2:28
SPEAKER_13: Meh.
2:31
SPEAKER_01: And so what it is, it's a I think we've talked about this a little bit, it's professional development for the music teachers around the state.
2:37
SPEAKER_01: So they bring their you know that some of their their their students audition uh to to take part in the Allstate um festival.
2:48
SPEAKER_01: They have a orchestra, uh, they have a band, like a like a high school band, and then they have two choirs, and a treble choir, which is soprano, soprano, alto, alto, and uh and SATB, Soprano, Alto Tinder Bass.
3:03
SPEAKER_01: And the SATB choir alone is 260 kids, 265 kids.
3:08
SPEAKER_01: Um so essentially it's over it's probably like 600 kids in all.
3:13
SPEAKER_10: Right.
3:14
SPEAKER_01: Um and then while they're rehearsing for this big concert that they're gonna do on on a Saturday, um, all the music teachers uh are going to workshops and and you know for professional development.
3:28
SPEAKER_01: And so part of this conference, uh the MMEA or the um they bring performers.
3:38
SPEAKER_01: And this is my third conference since becoming a music teacher.
3:41
SPEAKER_01: And uh last year they had a motivational speaker.
3:47
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
3:48
SPEAKER_01: And I'm not saying not taking anything away from the motivational speaker, but this was after a long day of rehearsals.
3:56
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
3:56
SPEAKER_01: These these these kids were stuck in these rehearsal rooms.
3:59
SPEAKER_01: Granted, they're doing a lot of great work and it sound amazing, um, but it's a long day.
4:05
SPEAKER_01: You know, they're in they're in these rehearsals for an hour and a half or something.
4:08
SPEAKER_13: You want your motivational speaker to be at the beginning of the day.
4:11
SPEAKER_13: Yeah, exactly.
4:12
SPEAKER_13: To get everybody pumped up for the day.
4:14
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so last last year, after they had rehearsed all day long, their entertainment that night was somebody up on stage talking to them, and it was I'm not gonna t like I said, not taking anything away from the motion motivational speaker, but it's n was not the right choice.
4:27
SPEAKER_01: No, no, that's definitely um and no bueno.
4:30
SPEAKER_01: In years past, they've had uh or uh other performers um and they've been okay.
4:37
SPEAKER_01: I mean, they the kids have liked them.
4:39
SPEAKER_01: And so they hired our band.
4:42
SPEAKER_01: Well, uh full disclosure, uh our own John Simonoff is on the board.
4:47
SPEAKER_13: Yeah, I think I think I think he strong armed it into it.
4:51
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he's like, we should we should bring my can we bring my band down?
4:54
SPEAKER_01: And they're like, Well, I don't know.
4:56
SPEAKER_01: And so they agreed and uh and brought us down.
5:00
SPEAKER_01: And so we play got to play the Collins Center for the Arts, which is at the University of Maine at Orno.
5:06
SPEAKER_01: Fantastic room.
5:07
SPEAKER_13: Oh my word.
5:08
SPEAKER_13: Uh amazing room.
5:10
SPEAKER_01: Great sound, great acoustics, just and and lots of seating, uh, you know, balcony seating and everything, and um more importantly, professional sound.
5:20
SPEAKER_01: Nothing to take away from OJ.
5:22
SPEAKER_01: Oh no, OJ OJ does well, man.
5:24
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, OJ does amazing uh for us, but OJ's not a trained sound person.
5:29
SPEAKER_01: Yeah he's he's kind of learning as he goes.
5:31
SPEAKER_13: Oh, we basically were like, we need a sound guy.
5:34
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
5:34
SPEAKER_01: OJ.
5:35
SPEAKER_01: And he's doing a great job.
5:36
SPEAKER_01: Don't you know not to take anything away.
5:38
SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
5:38
SPEAKER_01: But these are these guys are professional guys, and he would say the same thing.
5:40
SPEAKER_13: Yeah, oh yeah.
5:41
SPEAKER_13: He he was like he was like he was like job shadowing these guys.
5:45
SPEAKER_13: Yeah, he was like he was just like, I don't know.
5:48
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he was taking it all in.
5:49
SPEAKER_01: He wasn't feeling good either.
5:50
SPEAKER_01: So that's it.
5:51
SPEAKER_01: No, he wasn't uh but he was taking it all in and and and taking notes, I think, mental notes, and but I mean we had um we had a monitor mix and then a monitor.
5:59
SPEAKER_13: Yeah, we had a separate sound guy for the monitors, and I which the sound guy for the book never had.
6:03
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we were I was like we did this whole sound check thing, and uh as soon as the horns started playing through the speakers, I was just like, wow.
6:13
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was this is gonna be this is gonna be amazing.
6:16
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
6:17
SPEAKER_01: And we did a full sound check with the full band, and it sounded just fantastic.
6:22
SPEAKER_01: And you know, before you know then we went up to the green room, which was actually green.
6:27
SPEAKER_13: Yeah, was actually green.
6:28
SPEAKER_01: Yep, and um we found a Bob Ross Monopoly game.
6:32
SPEAKER_01: That was cool.
6:33
SPEAKER_01: Uh and they had a record player, so we put a Chicago record on and we all just kind of chilled a little bit.
6:38
SPEAKER_01: It was nice, man.
6:39
SPEAKER_01: And then it was time to go and play.
6:41
SPEAKER_01: So we went down and the kids filed in, over, like I said, over 600 of them, plus their teachers.
6:48
SPEAKER_01: And were I would imagine it was a long day.
6:52
SPEAKER_01: They were probably tired, but it was that time kind of tired where you know they're ready to just go crazy and just let loose.
6:59
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, just let loose a little bit.
7:00
SPEAKER_01: It had to be because the from the first note, uh actually, when we walked out on stage, they started freaking out.
7:06
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
7:07
SPEAKER_01: And they don't know who we are.
7:08
SPEAKER_01: No, they don't have a clue.
7:10
SPEAKER_01: No, they've never seen us before, they've never heard of us before, but they were cheering for us as we walked out on stage.
7:15
SPEAKER_01: And and that part that made you, you know, feel like a rock star, you know, like wow, maybe they know us.
7:20
SPEAKER_13: Oh no, they don't know us, they can't know us.
7:22
SPEAKER_13: They can't they can't possibly know who we are.
7:24
SPEAKER_01: Right, but they were just happy.
7:25
SPEAKER_13: Yeah, I I totally get that.
7:27
SPEAKER_01: And so we put on our instruments and we went right into the first song, Hold On I'm Comin' by Sam and Dave.
7:32
SPEAKER_01: And they lost it.
7:34
SPEAKER_01: They were just just on board the entire time, waving, and and we we did uh I mean we didn't.
7:41
SPEAKER_13: Well it was fun.
7:42
SPEAKER_13: The funny thing is that the the front of the stage to the first row of seats is less than three feet.
7:49
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
7:49
SPEAKER_13: So I mean they were they basically like maybe a minute in the song, they already filled that space.
7:55
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they already came, they all came up.
7:57
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
7:58
SPEAKER_01: And on the songs like um, well, does anybody really know what time it was?
8:03
SPEAKER_01: It is from Chicago we were doing that song.
8:05
SPEAKER_01: Was that the first one that they took their phones out?
8:07
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
8:07
SPEAKER_01: And they were swaying their arms.
8:11
SPEAKER_13: It was bright too.
8:11
SPEAKER_13: It was like yeah, it was like little spotlights.
8:14
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
8:14
SPEAKER_01: And I I don't know if it's because of the room, because of this we were happy with the sound and we everybody could hear each other and everything.
8:22
SPEAKER_01: I don't know if that's why I think we played the best we've played.
8:25
SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
8:26
SPEAKER_01: It was just it was it it was a nice energy.
8:28
SPEAKER_01: It was a nice energy.
8:29
SPEAKER_13: I mean the kids are really into it, so of course we get really into it, you know.
8:34
SPEAKER_13: So it's a cyclical thing.
8:36
SPEAKER_01: And here's the other thing, and I don't want to hear an excuse from our horns, because the reason we had that energy level is because we designed the set to go from one song to the next.
8:48
SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
8:49
SPEAKER_01: There was no space in between.
8:50
SPEAKER_13: No, no, it was great.
8:51
SPEAKER_01: And we went we finished one song, they cheered, we went right into the next song.
8:55
SPEAKER_01: Right.
8:56
SPEAKER_01: That's what we have to do every show.
8:58
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
8:59
SPEAKER_01: It's hard to do every show because you know, we play two hour shows probably sometimes.
9:04
SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
9:05
SPEAKER_01: And I understand that the horns, you know, it's hard for the horns.
9:11
SPEAKER_01: Um, but they did it.
9:13
SPEAKER_01: We played an hour.
9:14
SPEAKER_01: It was only an hour show down at the Collins Center.
9:16
SPEAKER_13: And that and that might have something to do with it.
9:17
SPEAKER_13: I'm sure.
9:18
SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
9:18
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
9:18
SPEAKER_01: And they actually said, let's just keep trudging through.
9:20
SPEAKER_01: Let's just keep going through.
9:21
SPEAKER_13: Yeah, we didn't even have any uh non-horn.
9:23
SPEAKER_13: Non-horn songs.
9:24
SPEAKER_01: Nope.
9:24
SPEAKER_01: We didn't have any non-horn songs.
9:26
SPEAKER_01: But uh if we put some non-horn songs in there, there's no reason we can't do that every time.
9:34
SPEAKER_13: Oh, absolutely.
9:35
SPEAKER_13: I mean that that's the reason for the non-horn song is to give them a break.
9:39
SPEAKER_13: Right.
9:39
SPEAKER_13: And they should be ready by the time the next song instead of waiting, you know, you know, because they t they tend I mean, they're like, you know, they're like cats.
9:47
SPEAKER_13: They, you know, once you let them go, they just mill off.
9:51
SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
9:51
SPEAKER_13: You know, they're over here, they're over there, they're outside, you know.
9:54
SPEAKER_13: And then by the time the song's done, you gotta wait for them all to come back and you know.
9:58
SPEAKER_01: So yeah, so so I that's what I'm gonna lobby for at the next rehearsal.
10:03
SPEAKER_01: It's like we need to make every show like that.
10:06
SPEAKER_01: We need to make every show five songs in a row, and then a non-horn song, and then another five songs in a row, non-stop, one read after another.
10:16
SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
10:16
SPEAKER_01: We're not taking time in between because the energy is there, it makes a difference.
10:21
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
10:22
SPEAKER_01: So that's what I'm gonna say.
10:23
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna get shot down, but Oh, absolutely.
10:26
SPEAKER_13: Yeah, yeah.
10:28
SPEAKER_13: You're gonna be persona non-gravity.
10:29
SPEAKER_13: Yeah, it's probably probably and oh that's okay.
10:33
SPEAKER_13: I'll take it.
10:34
SPEAKER_13: We should we should chain the horn section to their stands, then they can't wander off.
10:40
SPEAKER_01: Right.
10:41
SPEAKER_01: All right, so here's the that would fly here.
10:43
SPEAKER_01: Here's the other thing that happened.
10:44
SPEAKER_01: So what we didn't know is at the Collins Center, the very edge of the stage is uh on hydraulics.
10:54
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
10:55
SPEAKER_01: Because it it it can be lowered for the orchestra pit.
10:59
SPEAKER_01: Correct.
11:00
SPEAKER_01: Uh lowered and raised, actually.
11:02
SPEAKER_01: So uh, but we didn't know that at the time.
11:04
SPEAKER_13: Yeah, nobody said anything.
11:05
SPEAKER_01: No, nobody said anything.
11:05
SPEAKER_13: You think you think that would have been one of the things, you know, for a new a new act coming into your your place and be like, hey, listen, this part is hydraulic, so you can't put a lot of weight here.
11:17
SPEAKER_01: Well, here's the thing they had us set up back further.
11:21
SPEAKER_01: I don't think they expected anybody to go out onto that section.
11:25
SPEAKER_01: True.
11:25
SPEAKER_01: All of our monitors were back behind that hydraulic section.
11:28
SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
11:29
SPEAKER_01: You know, so we were we were on the stage, and there's no reason for us, unless I was doing somebody was doing a solo, they would go out there.
11:36
SPEAKER_01: Right.
11:37
SPEAKER_01: Um we never expected what happened to happen.
11:41
SPEAKER_01: No, no, but not not in our wildest dreams.
11:43
SPEAKER_01: No, so so we started, was it Footloose?
11:46
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was the very last song.
11:48
SPEAKER_01: The very last song.
11:49
SPEAKER_01: So we started doing Footloose.
11:52
SPEAKER_01: And and I have you seen the video of the performance.
11:58
SPEAKER_13: I've only seen the bits that came to the.
12:00
SPEAKER_01: Oh no, I have the whole video.
12:01
SPEAKER_01: How'd you get the whole video?
12:02
SPEAKER_01: He emailed it to uh to me and who I don't know whoever whoever else.
12:07
SPEAKER_01: He emailed they they emailed Chris the video and the audio.
12:12
SPEAKER_10: Okay.
12:12
SPEAKER_01: And the full concert.
12:14
SPEAKER_01: And he emailed it to me, and I think whoever's email he had, he emailed it to them too.
12:19
SPEAKER_11: Oh, okay.
12:20
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'll show it to you.
12:21
SPEAKER_01: But I think you are the reason they came up on stage.
12:27
SPEAKER_01: I don't know how that is possible.
12:29
SPEAKER_01: I'll tell you, I'll tell you how that is possible.
12:31
SPEAKER_01: Well, let's let's tell what happened first.
12:32
SPEAKER_01: Alright.
12:33
SPEAKER_01: So we so we started playing footloose, and all of a sudden two guys come up on stage and they're running around.
12:40
SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
12:40
SPEAKER_01: And doing the worm.
12:42
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
12:42
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
12:42
SPEAKER_01: And then this cute girl comes up on stage and she does this, starts doing this really cool dance, and then a guy comes up and they're dancing together.
12:49
SPEAKER_01: And at first it's like, this is really cool.
12:52
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
12:52
SPEAKER_01: You know, and we didn't think anything of it.
12:55
SPEAKER_01: And before you knew it, the whole front of the stage was full of people.
13:00
SPEAKER_01: I mean, they all jumped up on the stage and were dancing while we played footloose.
13:05
SPEAKER_01: So much so you couldn't see the band.
13:07
SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
13:07
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you're literally, we weren't even there.
13:09
SPEAKER_01: Right.
13:10
SPEAKER_01: And so all of a sudden the lights went out.
13:12
SPEAKER_01: And in the back of my head, I'm thinking, oh, they're getting into this.
13:15
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
13:16
SPEAKER_01: Even the sound crew are getting into this, right?
13:18
SPEAKER_01: And then the lights came back on.
13:20
SPEAKER_01: And then they went out again.
13:21
SPEAKER_01: And then they came back on.
13:23
SPEAKER_01: And then they lowered them and they left them low.
13:26
SPEAKER_01: And then they came back up.
13:27
SPEAKER_01: And so I'm like, well, this is kind of kind of cool, I guess.
13:30
SPEAKER_13: Yeah, I wasn't, you know, I I wasn't really sure what was happening.
13:33
SPEAKER_13: I was like, I was like, is there a problem?
13:36
SPEAKER_13: And is there a light issue?
13:38
SPEAKER_01: So what what what they were doing was signal signaling us to stop playing because there's too many people on the stage.
13:47
SPEAKER_01: We had no idea.
13:48
SPEAKER_01: We had we we had we were clueless.
13:51
SPEAKER_13: Yeah, well they didn't never nobody said anything.
13:52
SPEAKER_01: Nobody said anything.
13:54
SPEAKER_01: So we just kept playing.
13:55
SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
13:56
SPEAKER_01: And um eventually we finished the song and and made them think that that was the last song.
14:04
SPEAKER_01: Technically it was.
14:05
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
14:06
SPEAKER_01: And so everybody got off the stage, and then the organizer came out, and I looked at her and and we're like putting our hands up, and she's like, one more song.
14:15
SPEAKER_01: And so we did one more song.
14:16
SPEAKER_01: Nobody came up, nobody came back up on the stage.
14:18
SPEAKER_13: I don't remember doing one more song.
14:20
SPEAKER_01: Maybe did give me some love.
14:21
SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah, that's right.
14:21
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
14:22
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's right.
14:23
SPEAKER_01: So so yeah, um, and I talked to John after, and he's like, I don't think they're gonna have us back because of that.
14:32
SPEAKER_01: You know, but well, that was really not our fault.
14:34
SPEAKER_01: We didn't we didn't know.
14:35
SPEAKER_13: We didn't know the stage was hydraulic.
14:37
SPEAKER_01: And we didn't know that you were going that that was a signal to to stop playing.
14:41
SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
14:42
SPEAKER_01: Um and once they got we had you gave you told us to play we could play one more.
14:48
SPEAKER_01: So obviously you weren't that upset.
14:50
SPEAKER_13: Yeah, I mean, if they'd been really upset, they would have been like, all right, everybody off now.
14:54
SPEAKER_01: Luckily, we avoided uh any disasters.
14:58
SPEAKER_01: Disasters.
14:59
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
14:59
SPEAKER_01: There was no damage done to the stage, nobody got hurt or anything like that.
15:02
SPEAKER_01: So we were lucky in that realm.

44:46

SPEAKER_01: As the best song from Bon Jovi.
44:58

45:09
SPEAKER_01: One of three star-making singles off the diamond selling Slippery When Wet.
45:12
SPEAKER_01: Wanted Dead or Alive is a masterclass in self-mythology.
45:16
SPEAKER_01: Bon Jovi don't just view themselves as pop metal pretty boys, they're rock and roll outlaws up against the world, triumphing over adversity to bring their music to the masses.
45:24
SPEAKER_01: When I think Wanted Dead or Alive, I think of uh Turn the Page.
45:28
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
45:28
SPEAKER_01: From Bob Seeger.
45:29
SPEAKER_01: It's about it's kind of the same thing.

SPEAKER_01: I would too.
45:49
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
45:50
SPEAKER_13: Because even like Gen Z knows that song now.
45:52
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
45:53
SPEAKER_13: You know what I mean?
45:54
SPEAKER_01: I would say prayer would be would be bigger than Dead or Alive.
45:58

SPEAKER_01: Even uh even off Pyromania, I would put Die Hard the Hunter over the over Photograph.
47:36
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, yeah.
47:37
SPEAKER_01: But again, that's that's just a stage fright.
47:39
SPEAKER_13: I would put stage fright over that.
47:40
SPEAKER_01: That's just a taste, you know.
47:41
SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
47:42
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
47:43
SPEAKER_01: Um Dawkin, in my dreams.

48:10
SPEAKER_13: That's the only thing I can think of.
48:12
SPEAKER_13: No, it's just me.
48:12
SPEAKER_01: Kickstart My Heart, Motley Crue.
48:15
SPEAKER_13: It's definitely great, but it's not the best.
48:17
SPEAKER_01: I wouldn't say it's their best either.
48:18
SPEAKER_01: Uh let's see what they read.
48:20
SPEAKER_01: For better or worse, I felt like Motley Crue's entire career led up to Kickstart My Heart.
48:24
SPEAKER_01: The band had gotten progressively bigger and more polished throughout the decade, even as they their ramped up depravity threatened to destroy them.
48:31
SPEAKER_01: Eventually it did.
48:32
SPEAKER_01: Nikki Six overdosed on heroin and was declared clinically dead for two minutes before Paramedics revived him ad revived him adrenaline.
48:40
SPEAKER_01: That's great writing.
48:42
SPEAKER_01: Um The ordeal inspired Kickstart My Heart.
48:46
SPEAKER_01: He's got good read.
48:47
SPEAKER_01: He got good read.
48:48
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.

48:52
SPEAKER_01: Kickstart My Heart is pretty up there.
48:55
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's definitely up there.
48:56
SPEAKER_01: But as far as the best, I I don't think it's I would put it in the top three.
49:01
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
49:02
SPEAKER_01: I really would.
49:02
SPEAKER_01: For Motley Crew.
49:04
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
49:04
SPEAKER_01: I would put it in the top three.
49:05
SPEAKER_01: But I yeah, I don't think it's their best.
49:07
SPEAKER_01: I don't.
49:08
SPEAKER_01: Poison.
49:09
SPEAKER_01: Nothing but a good time.
49:10
SPEAKER_01: No.
49:11
SPEAKER_01: What would you say is is a better song from Poison?
49:14
SPEAKER_01: Fallen Angel?
49:15
SPEAKER_01: Fallen Angel.
49:16
SPEAKER_13: That's that'd probably be their best song.
49:18
SPEAKER_01: I agree.
49:18
SPEAKER_01: I like that song.
49:20
SPEAKER_01: Um, I like um Something to Believe In.
49:22
SPEAKER_01: The ballad.
49:23
SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah, that's pretty good.
49:24
SPEAKER_12: Something to believe in.
49:25

49:26
SPEAKER_01: Uh yeah, that's a good one.
49:27
SPEAKER_01: Rat, Round and Round.
49:29
SPEAKER_01: Of course, that was their biggest hit.
49:32
SPEAKER_13: I actually would say that's probably.
49:33
SPEAKER_01: Would you?
49:34
SPEAKER_13: Uh that actually probably is their best song.
49:36
SPEAKER_13: I mean, they got some good songs, but don't get me wrong.
49:39
SPEAKER_13: But that's probably their best one.
49:42
SPEAKER_01: Again, subjective.
49:43
SPEAKER_01: Subjective.
49:44
SPEAKER_01: I like uh What's the one I'm thinking of?
49:51
SPEAKER_01: Holy cow.

49:58
SPEAKER_01: No guitar?
49:59
SPEAKER_01: What it's uh what it's uh called.
50:03
SPEAKER_01: Because obviously, you know, I it can't be that good because I can't remember the name of it.
50:09
SPEAKER_01: Um let's see.
50:12
SPEAKER_01: Compilation albums uh singles.
50:15
SPEAKER_01: Here we go.
50:16
SPEAKER_01: Uh for rat uh I liked see I'm I'm more of a pop guy.
50:25
SPEAKER_01: You know, I'm more of a pop c a big chorus guy, even though Round and Round is has a big chorus.
50:32
SPEAKER_01: I liked I Want a Woman, um Way Cool Jr.
50:37
SPEAKER_00: Way Cool Jr.
50:39
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
50:40
SPEAKER_01: That's a good song.
50:40
SPEAKER_01: I would think I I like that better than Round and Round, even though I I like Round and Round.
50:44
SPEAKER_01: Right.
50:45
SPEAKER_01: Uh Skid Row, Youth Gone Wild.
50:50
SPEAKER_01: Their best song?
50:51
SPEAKER_13: I wouldn't say it's their best song.
50:52
SPEAKER_13: It's pretty darn good.
50:54
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
50:54
SPEAKER_13: But I wouldn't say it's their best song.
50:56
SPEAKER_01: Uh name another one.
50:58
SPEAKER_13: Slave to the Grind.
50:59
SPEAKER_13: That was a great that whole album was pretty great, even though nobody really knows about it.
51:03
SPEAKER_01: Waste wasting time or wasted time?
51:05
SPEAKER_01: That's not that same album.
51:07
SPEAKER_01: I think so, yeah.
51:08
SPEAKER_01: That was a good ballad.
51:08
SPEAKER_01: 18 in Life.
51:10
SPEAKER_01: I Remember You.
51:10
SPEAKER_13: Yeah, I remember you, yeah.
51:12
SPEAKER_01: So Yeah, I yeah.
51:13
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
51:14
SPEAKER_01: This is kind of hard because again, it's it's all subjective.
51:17
SPEAKER_01: Twisted Sister, we're not gonna take it.
51:19
SPEAKER_13: Yeah, probably that's probably the pinnacle of their career.
51:22
SPEAKER_13: You think so?
51:23
SPEAKER_13: I mean, can you can you name any other Twisted Sister songs off your top of your head?
51:27
SPEAKER_01: I wanna rock.
51:28
SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah.
51:30
SPEAKER_01: But I still think You can't stop rock and roll?
51:33
SPEAKER_13: I I still think that would be that would be nose.
51:36
SPEAKER_01: It's probably their top song.
51:38
SPEAKER_06: I wanna rock rock.
51:40
SPEAKER_01: Uh Warrant, I'm so glad they chose Uncle Tom's Cabin instead of Cherry Pie.
51:45
SPEAKER_13: That that may be that might be one of their greatest songs.
51:48
SPEAKER_01: Uncle Tom's Cabin, yeah.
51:49
SPEAKER_01: I think so.
51:49
SPEAKER_13: Absolutely.
51:50
SPEAKER_13: That is a fantastic song.
51:51
SPEAKER_01: I agree.
51:52
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
51:52
SPEAKER_01: Uh let me read what they wrote because they mentioned Cherry Pie here.
51:55
SPEAKER_01: Poor Janie Lane, forced to live in the shadow of Cherry Pie, the boneheaded hit single that made him very rich and very miserable.
52:02
SPEAKER_01: The song gave Warren a bad rap, but if anybody listened past the first track on Cherry Pie, they quickly discovered the album's true masterpiece.
52:09
SPEAKER_01: I agree.
52:10
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
52:10
SPEAKER_01: Uh Uncle Tom's Cabin.
52:12
SPEAKER_01: From its eerie acoustic intro to its soaring chorus, the song is m master stroke of evocative storytelling and moody metal-edged hard rock.
52:21
SPEAKER_01: Would it have performed as well as Cherry Pie?
52:23
SPEAKER_01: Probably not, but it's proof that Lane was one of the hair metals era's most gifted singers and songwriters.
52:29
SPEAKER_13: Yeah, it's probably the best song on that album.
52:31
SPEAKER_13: Yeah, yeah.
52:32
SPEAKER_01: I would agree.
52:32
SPEAKER_01: I would agree.
52:33
SPEAKER_01: Uh Whitesnake, Still of the Night.
52:36
SPEAKER_01: That's pretty, pretty up there.
52:38
SPEAKER_13: That's pretty darn close to the song.
52:40
SPEAKER_01: Um I mean, they got so many great songs, but I mean that's that's definitely a lot of people will probably say, Here I go again.
52:47
SPEAKER_13: Yeah, but that's just that's more of like an anthem, you know.
52:50
SPEAKER_13: Okay, because everybody knows it.
52:51
SPEAKER_13: Yeah, you know.
52:52
SPEAKER_01: But still of the night.
52:53
SPEAKER_01: Still the nights.
52:54
SPEAKER_01: With that, with that string thing in the middle, that string section.
52:56
SPEAKER_01: That whole breakdown.
53:00
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
53:00
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's classic.
53:01
SPEAKER_01: I would say that's I agree with that one probably.
53:03
SPEAKER_01: Still of the night.
53:04
SPEAKER_01: And the still of the night.
53:06
SPEAKER_01: I hear the wolf how, honey.

53:08
SPEAKER_13: That's a great that's a great song.
53:09
SPEAKER_13: It's one it's one of my favorite, personal favorite white snake songs.
53:12
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
53:12
SPEAKER_01: So yep.
53:13
SPEAKER_01: Um, I said we we uh we disagreed with a lot of that, but there's some that we can get behind.
53:18
SPEAKER_00: Sure.
53:19
SPEAKER_00: That's cool.
53:19
SPEAKER_00: Sure.
53:20
SPEAKER_01: Sure.
53:21
SPEAKER_01: That's cool.
53:22
SPEAKER_01: Um before I go any further, I have to, you know, uh get something ready before I say anything further, just because I don't have it ready.
53:31
SPEAKER_01: Because, you know, sometimes we we think about these things and sometimes we completely forget about these things.
53:36
SPEAKER_01: Um the latter.
53:38
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but it's it's time to um uh remember uh that it is.
54:03
SPEAKER_01: So we're gonna do past, present, and future.
54:06
SPEAKER_01: Today's past, not forget to do the future.

55:27
SPEAKER_13: So uh this is what cousin Larry said.
55:30
SPEAKER_13: Mixtape.
55:31
SPEAKER_13: Well, first I thought about all the songs about rain out there, like Raindrop, Keep Falling on My Head, Rain by the Beatles, I Love Rainy Night by Eddie Rabbit.
55:41
SPEAKER_13: Shout out to Aunt Betty.
55:42
SPEAKER_13: She loves Eddie Rabbit.
55:43
SPEAKER_07: Yes, she does.
55:44
SPEAKER_13: But then I remembered O'Brien mentioning how he looks at the bigger picture, and I started thinking about what it would what I would be thinking about while looking out through a rainy window.
55:54
SPEAKER_13: I think I would be reflecting on my life, which has had its ups and downs like everybody's, but has been really good so far.
56:00
SPEAKER_13: Songs like In My Life by the Beatles, Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flats came to mind along with a slew of others.
56:08
SPEAKER_13: But a country song by one of my wife's favorite artists came to mind.
56:12

1:13:43
SPEAKER_13: Yes it is yes it is yes it is a little known song John spoke about having once written love songs purely for the meat market and yet it's hard to find the songs he was referring to Yes It Is, though, was one song he felt particularly embarrassed about in later years.
1:14:03
SPEAKER_13: Scoffing at the line for red is the color that will make me blue John claimed it was nothing more than an attempt to rewrite this boy as it had the same chords, harmonies and double Dutch words.
1:14:17
SPEAKER_13: The lyric is a warning to a girl not to wear red because this is the color of this is the color that the that the singer's baby always wore.
1:14:28
SPEAKER_13: John's final verdict on the song was that it didn't work.
1:14:32
SPEAKER_13: It was released as the B side to take it to ride in both Britain and America during April 1965.

1:28:02
SPEAKER_05: God in country music, they both never really change.
1:28:08
SPEAKER_05: You find them when you need them where you stand.

1:28:54
SPEAKER_05: God and country music.
1:29:02
SPEAKER_01: And country music.
1:29:05
SPEAKER_01: It's kind of neat.
1:29:06
SPEAKER_01: Kind of a neat neat music.
1:29:07
SPEAKER_13: Reminds me of that uh Brad Paisley one that he did with George Jones.

1:29:13
SPEAKER_01: Oh, uh two country?
1:29:15
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, two country.
1:29:16
SPEAKER_01: Two country, yeah.
1:29:17
SPEAKER_01: Um and George Strait's grandson is on the end of that.
1:29:21
SPEAKER_01: It's pretty kind of kinning.
1:29:22
SPEAKER_01: He's just singing two country music.
1:29:25
SPEAKER_01: Um but my favorite song with this album is one called Sometimes Love.
1:29:29
SPEAKER_01: And I I think it's because of the music.
1:29:32
SPEAKER_01: Um the lyrics are great too, but uh I just really like this song.
1:29:48
SPEAKER_05: She was a sometimes love, and every now and then touched that momentarily, brought out the best in me.
1:30:02
SPEAKER_05: I didn't think that much of my heart could easily love it or leave it.
1:30:12
SPEAKER_05: Told myself I didn't need it, and years have gone back, she's moved on so a bad chapter.
1:30:44
SPEAKER_05: I close my eye, but she's not gone.
1:30:51
SPEAKER_05: Oh, I am I still holding on.
1:30:59
SPEAKER_01: Sometimes love hangs around a little too long.
1:31:05
SPEAKER_01: I think it's that I think it's that uh chord change in the chorus.
1:31:12
SPEAKER_01: It's like a major seventh or min oh it's actually a minor seventh, I think, where it goes to.
1:31:17
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
1:31:17
SPEAKER_01: But it's it's musically.
1:31:18
SPEAKER_01: I just I dig that little transition there.
1:31:20
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:31:21
SPEAKER_01: So uh that's one of my favorite tunes on the album.
1:31:23
SPEAKER_13: So anyway, uh the album is the the songwriting is definitely changed from the eighties.
1:31:29
SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah.
1:31:30
SPEAKER_13: You know, it's it's I I don't want to say it's matured, but it's it's not the same.
1:31:36
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:31:37
SPEAKER_01: And it's it's uh writing about different things.
1:31:40
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:31:40
SPEAKER_01: You know, I mean, um there's a song on here called The Weight of the Badge, which is about uh police officers.
1:31:47

1:32:09
SPEAKER_01: This is all What Goes Up.
1:32:12
SPEAKER_05: I walked through the valley of the shadow death, caught a glimpse of him when I couldn't catch my breath, I felt his presence in the darkest today.
1:32:36
SPEAKER_05: I've asked for direction and I've been shown the way I believe when I pray somebody when I fall on my knees, my words aren't falling on death, and he has the answers when the answers can't be found I know without a doubt.
1:33:13
SPEAKER_05: What goes up comes down.
