Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vord, Did you say I got a lot to learn? No,
I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
I well, don't say I'm trying not to learn to learn?
Speaker 1 (00:12):
What have you got in mind here?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Since this is the perfect spot to sit.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Right here on the couch now.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Teach from and Margaret's Born to Be Wild album released
a couple of years ago. That is the great Ann
Margaret with the legendary and patriotic Pat Boone, who joins
us now on news radio eleven ten kfab mister Boone,
good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Well it's Pat to you, Scott, and because we've talked before,
and I get a kick out of that, and I'm
so tickled that. And Margaret did too that song because
she was anything but wild and I'm anything but heavy metal.
But we came together and we did that song not
long ago for her fairly current album, and I couldn't
(01:05):
take it. Seriously. She had already recorded her part, and
I was just supposed to, you know, find some harmony
and sing it with her. But as I was trying
to do it, I thought, wait a minute, we are
both over eighty years old. What is she supposed to
teach me? What am I going to learn here? And
so We had fun with it, and thankfully she has
(01:28):
such a great sense of humor that she thought we
would have taken it seriously. But then when she heard
the way I did it, she got a big laugh
out of it. She says, you know, that's the way
keep it. We are both over eighty and we know
as much as we need to know.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Well, that's it was really fun. Take kind of a Baby,
It's cold outside riff on that song, and we're going
to be so thrilled to have you in Omaha. An
Evening with Pat Boone and a Margaret coming up on Friday,
May twenty third at the new Fairly New Relevant Center
in Elkhorn. This is the latest event from Patriotic Productions,
(02:05):
and all the details about tickets, which go on sale
this week at Patrioticproductions dot org. You're going to be
here that evening and then for the Memorial Day, the
fifth annual Patriotic Parade, the following morning. So it'd be
great to have you in Omaha for a couple of days.
But I want to ask you not so much about
that song right now, Pat, but this past year you
(02:28):
released a song called where Did America Go? What were
your thoughts on that song in that era before the election,
and maybe your thoughts on it since, well.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
I'm so glad you asked me about it, and that
it went crazy on TikTok at this stage in my life.
It was in the millions on TikTok, people hearing it,
loving it, streaming it, And it was my plea like
Bob Dylan's. And I think the sixties when or seven
he's sixties, one decade seems like another to me now.
(03:03):
But where he called out to the nation and blowing
in the wind, how many miles must the man walk
down before he can be called a man? And he
was bringing our attention, the nation's attention as he did
brilliantly to the inequities and the need for people to
(03:25):
respect each other and help each other. And that song
was so brilliant, and I knew he needed a song
like it. I tried to get Bob to help me
with my song, but he was going through a representative.
He said, he was out there on the road with
the outlaws singing and he just didn't have time to
get with me on it. So I wrote it myself,
(03:45):
wrote the whole song like blowing in the wind. But
and then Mike Lloyd, a wonderful director and conductor and
ranger producer, lives across the street from me and he
has his own studio, and he wanted to put an
orchestra and chorus with the song and said, no, I
want to do it just like blowing with the wind,
blowing in the wind. I want to have just a
(04:06):
guitar and harmonica and just like he did, keep it
that simple. I want to remind people of blowing in
the wind with where did America Go? And so Michael
Lloyd did it brilliantly. The guitarist is a guitarist, Paul
McCartney's guitarist, Larrence Juber. So we got a pretty good
(04:26):
guitarist and the harmonica player equally adept the harmonica player.
And that's it. It's I wanted it to sound like
it was running in a garage, just a demo, and
it does. It sounds like that.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yeah, And it's a it's a it's a beautiful lyric
and a beautiful video that A companies that you can
find it online. Pat Boone's had his own YouTube channel
and it's up there called where did America Go? Now?
As soon as you espouse any patriotic principles. People immediately say, oh,
you're some mega conservative evil person, But this song pays
(05:02):
tribute to President Kennedy, to a reverend, doctor Martin Luther King.
In fact, you are not only friends with President Reagan,
but our recently departed President Jimmy Carter. So it's not
a political song per se, but it seems like anytime
you wave the American flag, some people in this country,
Americans in this country, get mad about it, don't.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
They, Well, they do they somehow we're shamed. People have
gotten almost ashamed to be patriotic. I mean, it's just despicable.
We should and we should all be so grateful for
this land and not take it for granted and not
(05:44):
actually do things and say things and espouse things that
are contradictory. That's why in my song, I say, can
America still rise again? And I say, yes, that old
family Bible, that old constitution still hold. In fact, I
was happy with the rhyme, with the can it still
writing in that old family Bible still holds our survival.
(06:08):
The rhyming and in the lyrics I'm quite proud of.
But they're very explicit that we need to get back
to the very principles that made us who we are,
because if we don't, we will cease to be the
people that we wanted to be and were. And I
tell you, the folks that made this country great were
(06:28):
not ashamed to be proud and to fight for and
to stand up in every way for those principles that
made us who we were. We were based on the Bible,
and that's a fact of historical fact. And of course
the Constitution lay down the ground rules that made us
the single greatest nation as a nation in history. And
(06:53):
yet we're trying to give it up by going with
every stupid trend that people come up with and forsake
even morality and decency in the process. So we cannot
continue to be corrupt and unlike the nation that was
created and still expect to be blissed by the God
(07:16):
who you know, thetokeful. The historian in the early days
of America's growth was asked why is America? What makes
them so great? What's so strong? He said, America is
great because America is good. And if America ceases to
be great, she will cease to be good. And that
goodness came from the Bible and the Constitution came from
(07:41):
the Bible, and the founders were all Bible people. Thomas
Jefferson included, who did not ever mean that there should
be a separation and you should separate the Bible and
the government. No, he said, the law was Congress shall
make no law. Now what part of naw? No don't
(08:02):
you understand? No pro no con no, keep your hands
off people's religion. Government has nothing to do with it.
And you cannot make laws that prohibit or encourage anybody's religion.
Just forget religion. That people be religious the way they
want to be. And so this is I'm talking a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I know, I do want to jump in here. I
think it's so funny that once again Pat Boone is
a controversial artist and he's our guest here with us
on eleven ten KFAB with the song where did America Go?
You haven't been this controversial since you mentioned the heavy
metal album No More Mister Nice Guy, which was a
very great Pat Boone take on songs from Metallica and
(08:47):
Ozzy Osbourne that made a lot of people mad. So yes,
when you think of controversy and music, you think Pat Boone.
But I said tongue in cheek. When you started your
career as one of the most popular entertainers of the
nineteen fifties, could you have imagined it being controversial to
sing the national anthem, or say the Pledge of Allegiance,
(09:08):
or decide no issues related to gender and so forth.
I mean, if that's where we've gotten here in the
last seventy years, where do we go from here?
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Well, listen, Scott, I'm glad you mentioned that too, because
in the fifties, while I was still in college at
Columbia University, having hit record after hit records, I had
forty one chart records in the fifties Elvis at forty
I had one more than Elvis, and because I had
a six month hit start on him.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Still competitive. Pat Boone here.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Oh yeah. But then I found that the school kids
were not singing God Bless America in the beginning of
the school day, which they had when I started the school,
we'd sing God Bless America or America the Beautiful at
the start of a school day. Well, no, that was
no longer done, so much so that kids they were
(10:02):
making jokes about Jose Can you see, I mean the
people didn't even know the kids didn't know the words
of the national anthem. So I recorded to this day
the only album by any noted personality of all the
great patriotic songs of America. I've recorded them all, including
(10:23):
the national Anthem, in my album called American Glory, and
now that is sixty or seventy years old, and it's
the only album to this day with full orchestra and chorus,
thrilling arrangement every one of those songs, only album of
those songs by any artists that you've ever heard of.
(10:44):
So I just don't get it why we think we
can leave the very things that made us great and
encouraged our kids and taught our kids who we are,
who we aspire to be, and all of these new
things that have found their way into the educational system
that are wrong, historically false, but they just they appeal
(11:08):
to some people with political views. But we need to
just teach a true American history so kids know who
we are and how we got to be America, or
we will cease to be America.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
We have just a couple of minutes left here with
Pat Boone, and I've got I've got a million questions
for you, and some of these I get a chance
to ask you. I'll be a part of an evening
with Pat Boone and and Margaret on Friday, May twenty
third at the Relevant Center in Elkhorn. Patriotic Productions dot
org for details on this event and ticket information. And
I hope to have Ann Margaret on the program here.
(11:42):
If not this week then perhaps next.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
But I'm gonna be I'm gonna be singing with her.
Do you know? Has anybody told you?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Yeah, I heard that. We're trying to get that done.
Are you guys gonna sing teach me tonight?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yeah? No, No, we're gonna We're gonna do the song
Richard Rodgers wrote for me and then she joined me
in it and in State Fair and uh and it's
the most erotic song that Richard Rogers had written lyrically.
Uh and and we'll sing those words and we'll sing
that song at some point along the way. I don't
(12:14):
know where, but but we're going to do She's committed
to do it, and I am too. We'll sing Willing
and Eager, the Richard Rogers song that he wrote for
me and for that for that movie version of what
had been the successful.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
So this so this is not a this is not
a kid show, then, don't bring the kids to see
Pat boon and and.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Dennis. But the scene in the film in State Fair
was me without my shirt on and a motel where
I was going about to propose to her to marry me.
I was a kid on a pig farm and she was,
and she was already becoming a much sought after performer
(12:58):
at the fair States, and she was getting ready to
break my heart and tell me that she was not
about to go out on a pig farm with me,
and she was leaving and going about with her singing
career and just leave me with a broken heart. But
there was a very emotional, romantic scene in which she
was playing Tic Tac toe in my chest with her
(13:20):
fingernails while while we both sang. I sang most of it,
but she sang part of willing and eager, hungry and
thirsty for each other.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
But in nineteen sixty two, Yeah, that's that. And then
you hear what's on the radio. Do you hear what's
on the radio today? Pat?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
No? But I see what's played then on television and
all on all the shows, and I just can't believe it.
I what in the heck was the halftime at the
Super Bowl about I mean, it looked like, from a distance,
it looked like human ants roaming around the stage doing
(14:03):
I don't know what. And this I couldn't understand one
word of this guy's song.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
They were willing and eager is what they were. So
last question, last question for you, Pat, and this is
this is a big one. I have lots of question.
I mean, I could ask you about President Reagan, Johnny Carson,
all the rest of the stuff. But oh yeah, last
question for you, Pat. Do you still play basketball?
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Well, it's been a while. I had the goal outside
and I do practice shooting. But about a year and
a half ago, I broke my femur in a crazy
accident with my dog, Shadow and I and it snapped
and I had to hip surgery. So I'm recovering from
that now. And I had a walker and a cane.
(14:44):
I'm not using either, but no, I can get back
on the court, maybe either to play horse or perhaps
half court. But I love the game. I'm ninety and
I can still play golf. I played golf since I
broke the hip, and so I'm very active. I work
out with a trainer twice a week, very very difficult stuff.
(15:09):
I mean, I'm putting some of it on my internet
or social media pages, and I'm sure people can see
me working out at ninety and I'm doing exceptional weights
and stressful exercises because I can. And the doctor that
keeps tabs on my blood pressure and all those inner
(15:34):
checkups says you have the you seem to have the
metabolism of a teenager.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Yeah, I'd say this with all due respect. You are
a freak of nature. Bring your golf clubs with you
at Omaha in late May. The weather would be perfect,
and I'll carry your clubs for you. We'll get around
the boy.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I will try to make that happen. It feels like
it's going to be a busy time from what they're
wanting me to do. Put the parade, and I'm so
thrilled that they're such outward enthusiasm for America somewhere happening
in this country, just old fashioned patriotism, and of course
it happens in Omah.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
It's going to be a great weekend. I look forward
to having you and and Margaret here and hearing you saying, wow,
this is a great bit of Americana. Pat Boone and
and Margaret details at Patriotic Productions dot org. Pat will
see you on Friday, May twenty eighth, pardon me, may
make twenty third, and.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I'm going to try to send you some current records.
I'm on the charts right now, not just Where did
America Go, but other songs, and I'll send you some
of them. Because there's a song about grits and I
wrote the song.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I want to hear all of it.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
It's been a country hit. I'll send it to you.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Excellent. Thank you very much. Pat. We'll see you soon, okay.

break my heart and tell me that she was not
about to go out on a pig farm with me,
and she was leaving and going about with her singing
career and just leave me with a broken heart. But
there was a very emotional, romantic scene in which she
was playing Tic Tac toe in my chest with her
(13:20):
fingernails while while we both sang. I sang most of it,
but she sang part of willing and eager, hungry and
thirsty for each other.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
But in nineteen sixty two, Yeah, that's that. And then
you hear what's on the radio. Do you hear what's
on the radio today? Pat?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
No? But I see what's played then on television and
all on all the shows, and I just can't believe it.
I what in the heck was the halftime at the
Super Bowl about I mean, it looked like, from a distance,
it looked like human ants roaming around the stage doing
(14:03):
I don't know what. And this I couldn't understand one
word of this guy's song.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
They were willing and eager is what they were. So
last question, last question for you, Pat, and this is
this is a big one. I have lots of question.
I mean, I could ask you about President Reagan, Johnny Carson,
all the rest of the stuff. But oh yeah, last
question for you, Pat. Do you still play basketball?
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Well, it's been a while. I had the goal outside
and I do practice shooting. But about a year and
a half ago, I broke my femur in a crazy
accident with my dog, Shadow and I and it snapped
and I had to hip surgery. So I'm recovering from
that now. And I had a walker and a cane.
(14:44):
I'm not using either, but no, I can get back
on the court, maybe either to play horse or perhaps
half court. But I love the game. I'm ninety and
I can still play golf. I played golf since I
broke the hip, and so I'm very active. I work
out with a trainer twice a week, very very difficult stuff.
(15:09):
I mean, I'm putting some of it on my internet
or social media pages, and I'm sure people can see
me working out at ninety and I'm doing exceptional weights
and stressful exercises because I can. And the doctor that
keeps tabs on my blood pressure and all those inner
(15:34):
checkups says you have the you seem to have the
metabolism of a teenager.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Yeah, I'd say this with all due respect. You are
a freak of nature. Bring your golf clubs with you
at Omaha in late May. The weather would be perfect,
and I'll carry your clubs for you. We'll get around
the boy.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I will try to make that happen. It feels like
it's going to be a busy time from what they're
wanting me to do. Put the parade, and I'm so
thrilled that they're such outward enthusiasm for America somewhere happening
in this country, just old fashioned patriotism, and of course
it happens in Omah.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
It's going to be a great weekend. I look forward
to having you and and Margaret here and hearing you saying, wow,
this is a great bit of Americana. Pat Boone and
and Margaret details at Patriotic Productions dot org. Pat will
see you on Friday, May twenty eighth, pardon me, may
make twenty third, and.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I'm going to try to send you some current records.
I'm on the charts right now, not just Where did
America Go, but other songs, and I'll send you some
of them. Because there's a song about grits and I
wrote the song.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I want to hear all of it.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
It's been a country hit. I'll send it to you.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Excellent. Thank you very much. Pat. We'll see you soon, okay.
