Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, look Chuck Berry's pants. It's one more thing. I'm
strong and one more thing. One of the good things
about the Republican Convention in twenty sixteen when we went
and Trump was the guy, and so we got to
go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which
I'd always wanted to go to all my whole life.
(00:21):
I found it underwhelming.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
I enjoyed it. I wouldn't go again. I wouldn't go
to any trouble to go again. If I was with
somebody wanted to, I'd go with them. But it was
it was fine.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
It's about Yeah, that's about it. It was fine. It
was better than not doing anything that day.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Yeah, for one day, I'm more rock guy than you,
I think.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
But I'm not knowing if that had anything to do
with it.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
But yeah, my memories of it, there are a few
things that it gave me a bit of a charge.
But again, it was fine. It's a it's a tourist attraction.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
To draw tour what what is some of It's kind
of cool? What are we hearing Jelly roll singing here?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (01:06):
What is he? He's a guy? Ozzy Osborne's classic Mama,
I'm Coming Home and Ozzy Osbourne got put into the
Hall of Fame, but is unable to sing. Could be
or something, It doesn't matter. Here we go all right
(01:39):
if you like that sort of thing, I guess. And uh,
here's Sharon. Whytt's so hard for her to get She
just got into the rock and Roll Hall of Fame
for some reason?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Here we go away. Sure, how's easier getting divorced from
two men than it was to get into the rock
and roll Hall of Fame? You know?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
So I I have just been really lucky and I
have had number one for seven decades, which surprises me.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Because I'm a good singer. You know, I'm a good singer.
I'm not a great singer, but you know what, I'll
take good. That's an old lady rambling about something.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
What is the joke it was easier to get divorced
from two men than to get into the rock and
roll Hall of Fame?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
It was just a poor attempted humor.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I don't know, you're younger. Does share have any meaning
for you in your life?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Not?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Really?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Look, it's you know, as I said, uh, you know,
tritely and idiotically a moment ago. It's a tourist attraction.
That's trying to attract tourists. They needed more gay guys
in their forties, that's what that's what that is is.
So you get in a share it's a fine song stress,
(02:55):
that's right.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
If you got a whole bunch of bands that all
get the same kind of guy, then you're not going
to have any any tourists. But you have gay dudes
who go just to see Shares outfits, They'll probably have
a bunch of Shares outfits that I could see that
being the biggest draw on the tired in the entire
damn place.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yeah sure, yeah, I've you know, I've hated the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame. I don't hate it. I
just thought it was stupid for a long time, partly
because of what I said about Taurus and the other thing.
It's just Yon winner of the Rolling Stone magazine in
his East Coast mostly music critty critic buddies who just
they have a particular taste and it's just I don't
(03:35):
know they and they didn't let Rush in for like
twenty years, which is idiotic. The greatest band ever existed
because critics hate Rush shaded. He didn't realize that's why
he hates the rock and roll hall, so his favorite
band didn't get in, So that's okay, But it's in
defensively the fourth biggest album act ever. They don't get
in because freaking New York skinny ty wearing chain smoking
(03:59):
a whole, don't like rush F you f you Yes,
stupid twits. Anyway, do you guys want to hear Share sing?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
No? No? All right?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Was that a rhetorical question?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I'd rather listen to Joe yell this is great. Go ahead,
play a little Michael. I don't. I don't give a crap.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Solid all right?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah, I was right the first time.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
She is an old woman. Now, yeah she sings like
an old woman.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah, good lord. No, wonder if Sonny hit that tree
that was that's distasteful?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
You think he Well, they'd been divorced for a long time.
It would have been odd to ski into a tree
on purpose.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Indeed, I don't understand your psychological assessment of the late congressman.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
That was the video that she had the assless chaps
on the aircraft carrier.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
The cruise ship. Yeah, literally swimming I'm not cruise ship,
troop ship. Literally swimming after troop ships.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
And we all learned. Words are like weapons. They wound sometimes,
is what we learned.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
All that as well, this neat So the class of
nineteen eighty six was the first R and R. Hof
class included Little Richard, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Robert
Johnson is an early influenced Buddy Holly, the Everly Brothers,
Fats Domino, Sam Cook, Ray, Charles James Brown, Chuck Berry.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Wow. So that's like the first Hall of Fame class
for baseball. That's Ty Cobb, Babe, Ruth, you know that
whole list. I mean, it's just like, yeah, of course
these people have to.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Be in right, the cream of the cream of the crop.
But let's skip ahead. I don't know, chosen at random
twenty twenty two, Carly Simon, Okay, Lionel Ritchie Rocker, Pat
Bennettar and their husband Neil Giralda oh is a big
part of the band.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
I don't understand the term rock and roll. I guess
as part of it. What do they just call it?
The Music Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Well, Dolly Parton, famous rocker, was inducted in twenty twenty
two uh judas Priest Musical Excellence, as opposed to performer.
I don't even know what that is. A bunch of executives.
Alan Grubman got the am Artigon Award. Congratulations, Rhythmics, fine
(06:39):
crafters of fairly original pop. There for a little while,
they had some great songs.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Well, yeah, I'm fine with all that. I like Leonel Ritchie, I,
I like a lot of this stuff, But I just
don't understand what rock and roll means. Eminem Duran Squared, Eminem,
Bella Fontine Rocker, Eminem.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, I what, ever.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
The most interesting thing I've learned about music recently. You
brought to us a couple of weeks ago that when
you hear a song from the fifties and they talk
about dancing, they mean sex. Ever since then, every time
I hear one of these songs like Wow, okay, I
want to dance with you all night long. When I
was a kid, I was like, man, these people like dancing.
I mean, I don't like dancing that much, and I
don't know anybody who likes that, but these people really
really like dancing.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
A large percentage at the time, Yes, they don't mean dancing,
they mean blanking. Now, if they say rock you, that's
one hundred percent means blank you, I.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Want to rock you all night long?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Sure, please? A child like a hurricane. No, no, it's
not getting a baby to sleep. No, indeed, it's it's
just you change a couple of letters and you get
what they're really talking about. And I find it disgusting.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Oh my god, what seems you do you like today, Joe?
But it seems kind of almost nothing. I mean, I'm
not I'm not, you know, a prude who denies the
reality of being a young man. But a song that
basically just says, man, I'd like to have sex with
you is not very artistic, so I'm glad they use
(08:13):
some euphemisms. She's hot, I'd like to have sex with
her is the name of this song. And then I'll
just repeat it over and over again. What is that kidding?
So and all the other guys?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
So whatever, Yeah, looking at this year's class whatever that means,
I don't even know.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Wow, this is the title. Just call this one Joe's
Onui will be the name of this podcast.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
A tribe called Quest really really interesting musically, just trying
to draw in a different constituency. I get it now,
Like I've been to the country mus school and the gang. Right.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
The Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville that I've
been to is fantastic. I loved that. I didn't get
much out of the rock and Roll Hall of Fame
for some reason. Songwriters Hall of Fame is very cool.
The museum they've got up in Seattle, the whatever it
is a Purple Experience or whatever they call it, because
that's Jimmy hendricks hometown. But it has really got some
really cool stuff too, not just Hendricks, just all kinds
(09:12):
of different stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Now, what if they call it the Museum of Pop
Culture Now or something? I do not know. Yeah, so, Katie,
the coolest stuff at the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame and this is Gone now is a special exhibition
was in the style the font of Pink Floyd's The
Wall album. All the cover art was Roger Waters explaining
(09:36):
why he wrote that, and it was about how he'd
become this giant rock star. And at one point there
was like a net separating them from the crowd, like
down below, and a guy was climbing up the net,
and for some reason he spit on the guy and
he had this enormous moment of oh my god, what
(09:57):
have I become? And so he wrote a story about
a guy seduced by fame and fortune in drugs who'd
become this fascist monster that sickened himself. And I thought, wow,
because that's always been one of my favorite albums. And
they liked that.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
That's the one cool thing and they took that out.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I think. So I'd love seeing Joe Strummer's telecaster because
I'm a huge clash freak. And then the only other
thing that left an impression was some of Keith Richards
and Mick Jagger's stage clothing that they used to swap
clothes with their girlfriends because they all had like twenty
three inch waists. Yeah, they were tiny, skinny little fellas.
(10:38):
Speed and cigarettes will do that, I guess.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Yeah. And pre McDonald's so, why did dude spit on
the guy? Why did he do that?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Because he'd become a monster that he didn't recognize. But well,
I kind of sick with his own power and cynicism.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Wow, it's hard to imagine getting to a point you'd
spit on your fans.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah, one of your own fans. Yeah, Well, it's sickened him,
of course. Now he's endorsing Vladimir Putin, so Rogers not
always at the best judgment.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
We were in I think we're in Idaho, and we
kept seeing signs for the Onion Hall of Fame, and
I kept threatening the kids that we were going to
go there.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Look, hey, hey, pipe down back there, or I'll take
you to the Onion Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Look, my job as a dad is to expose you
to a lot of different things. It going to be
a great learning experience. I kept hammering this for a
long time. They talked for sure I was going to
make them go to the Onion Hall of Fame. We
stayed in the night nearby, and so we got to
get up early because the Onion Hall of Fame, I'd
looked it up. It opens at eight, and I want
to get there before it gets crowded. I doubt it
(11:50):
ever gets crowded. Yeah, you gotta go. It opening right
when it opens otherwise. Yeah, it's just you don't have
to wait long for two hours to get it into
the Onion Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Lessiers Clash includes a pound and a half of Dalia
onion and a red onion that's said to have the
finest flavor profile of the last twenty years.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
They wouldn't allow grilled onions in until twenty fifteen, and
that was a huge controversy.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Oh I remember, I remember, well.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Join us next time.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
When Joel Air his complains about Chane restaurants of the
nineteen nineties, well I guess that's it.
Hey, look Chuck Berry's pants. It's one more thing. I'm
strong and one more thing. One of the good things
about the Republican Convention in twenty sixteen when we went
and Trump was the guy, and so we got to
go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which
I'd always wanted to go to all my whole life.
(00:21):
