It's now time for the final hour fun fast. It's
fun in effect, it's the yeah We're three fun fact.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Well, in nineteen fifty two, the US Federal Highway Administration,
I should have seen more of this today had I
not got off at Hawthorne developed their own font, a
San Serah typeface that they called Highway Gothic. It was
developed to maximize legibility at a distance and at high speed.
(04:22):
They use it and have used it since then on
every roadway sign. It is so popular a number of
other countries adopted that specifically for highway signed font. Highway
Gothic Mexico, Canada are neighbors Australia named saland most of
South America, Portugal, South Africa, Philippines, Thailand, Taiwan, to name
(04:44):
a few, and many many more, all thanks to the
Federal Highway Administration coming up with Highway Gothic.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Well, not everything's a civic failure.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I guess most is, but not everything.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Quick kits, everybody come to MS quick hitch, come make
it quick, y'all. Yeah, Dodgers are in San Diego to
take on the Padres. Jack Flaherty is on the pregame show.
The Dodgers with a five and a half game lead
(05:17):
in the NL West ahead of the Padres. Clayton Kershaw's
on the mountain is.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
A big night.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Dylan Seis goes with the Padres. Dodgers are three and ten.
What month of July on the road.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
The Dodgers are a hot mess. Dylan Cees is coming
off a no hitter. Clayton Kershaw is old and is
desperate for an exceptional performance tonight as they do not
want to lose this game.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Dave Assay told us earlier.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
If they lose, then the Padres have the tiebreaker, which essentially,
instead of having the Dodgers be three and a half up,
they would be three up and would have to finish
with at least a one game better than the Padres
record in order to win the NL West On the
road with the Dodgers, brought to you by valve Lean
Instant Oil Change. Before you hit the road, be sure
to stop by your nearest Valvelen Instant Oil Change home
(06:06):
with a fifteen minute oil change.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
And Matt, here's a public service announcement written into the
quick kits. Would you like to take it?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
For those Dodger fans who are upset the Dodgers didn't
do more at the deadline or think the Dodgers don't
have enough to make a postseason run, keep in mind
the Dodgers are right now without Freddy Freeman, Mookie Betts,
Bruce Dargraderol Michael Grove, Ryan Brazier, Tommy Edmund, Ahmed Rosario,
(06:35):
and Jack Flaherty has not even pitched yet. Plus Max
Mounsey and Yoshi Yamamoto are expected back in the next
month or so. And here's here's the phrase to remember.
That's a lot of fresh arms and bets coming back.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
And now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
The more you know better about yourself.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Everybody brother takes a sting out of losing last night
and Dave Roberts not knowing the rules up. The Angels
are thirteen games under five hundred. They host the Colorado
Rockies tonight at the Big A, but they've won two
in a row. Ain't learning much an Andy Matt, You
you got sweat at a training camp today?
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yeah, I would have loved to have watched a little
bit of training camp as we get off the air
here in the next couple of minutes, might have been
able to run out there see the fourth quarter period.
The Chargers and Rams, though, have their first preseason games
next weekend Hall of Fame game is actually tomorrow and
Canton Bears taking on the Texans, and the Chargers and
Rams will have a joint practice on Sunday at the
(07:40):
Chargers facility for that Bears game tomorrow. If you're expected
to see former USC Heisman Trophy winner and the number
one overall pick, Caleb Williams, you won't. You will see
Tyson Bagen instead. Caleb Williams is not scheduled to play well, he's.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Got so much NFL experience, you know, right, It's like
JJ Reddick in the Summer League and Matt no more
broken femurs on the sideline soon, at least when it
comes with the chain gang. Looks like they might be
getting rid of the chain gang at the highest levels
of football.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Did seem a little bit archaic considering the amount of
technology we now have, But I love the chain gang.
I'm gonna miss the referee or the side judge holding
that single link that was on that specific spot of
the line and then resetting in the middle of the
field to determine whether or not a play was able
to reach the line to gain. The NFL, though, is
(08:32):
going to test the Sony Hawkeye technology to measure first
downs in some preseason games this year. NFL told the
AP that it will not likely be fully implemented in
all stadiums until the twenty twenty five season. There But
beyond the technology for line to gain measurement and new
headsets for coaches communications, Sony is now partnering with the
(08:53):
NFL to enhance sideline photography, broadcast cameras production, and more so,
just more and more tech coming into a primitive brutal
sport slash activity slash physical competition.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Great Cyborgs Men's basketball beat South Sudan today they're now
two and oh in Paris. They played the right anthem
for the South Sudan guys, so they weren't that upset. Uh.
US women's soccer team defeated the Matildas of Australia. Ut
(09:30):
do you know what the English nickname is for those chicks?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I was going to say the Limetts.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
It is not the Limetts. I thought Australia would be
the Sheilas, but it's not. It's the Metilla. It should
be the US faces Japan the Geishas in the quarterbrooms.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
It's exactly right.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
The US women's volleyball team bounced back from a five
set win over Serbia.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
The Blockheads and blockheadades.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Sorry, you're right, Blockets. Japan's Shinnosuke Oka won the gold medal,
and the men's individual all around in gymnastics looks like
a nice, well primped individual. Americans Paul Judah and Fred
Richard placed fourteenth and fifteenth respectively. Way to go, guys,
(10:26):
I guess that's why did.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
You have to includecades.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Well, that's why they were so cheap to win the bronze.
I guess exactly gives us perspective. That's how much they
suck individually. So they were able to come together and
win the bronze.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
That's good ya that Clark Kent dude took his glasses
off on a pommel horse and got after and the
U bronze finandulations to them.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
The funnel funnel horse. After days of delays and uncertainty
over water quality in the Poop River, send the women's
and men's Olympic triathlon races took place after organized said
organizers said the latest tests of the water showed compliance
with quality standards. It was right up to the minute,
like getting our show on today, Like the second they
(11:04):
pulled that thing out there, like jump jump, get it
there now.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
I mean, I'd feel really good about this as you're
standing there like oh yeah, yeah, here it is, here's
here's the water. Well yeah, I just I just saw
you pour that out of that aquapena bottle right there.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
It's not the water from the sand.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
No, it is.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Of course, it is the river, of course.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
And of course there was a an anor clean. I
will drink it inordinate amount of vomiting afterwards, and I'm
not even kidding. So great way to go. Yeah, the
Big ten announced that the Big Ten basketball tournament will
head west in twenty twenty eight to be played in
Las Vegas. So we can all hang on for that.
And you see LA comping for me. Yeah, that's great
(11:46):
man twenty twenty eight, Man, you better hold that job old.
UCLA held their first practice today. As speaking of a hold
in a job, that's the Sean Foster. One month from
the season opener, he wore a shirt that said we're
in La, like he said at the Big Ten Meetia.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Good for him.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
It's us an SCA. Now I wish you would have
been on the back. It's not just as we're in
LA with a picture of California and a star where
LA is. He also said the players are staying at a
hotel off campus in Woodland Hills during training camp for
camaraderie camaraderie purposes. I was the Yankee doodles that I
(12:31):
saw the UCA football team. They nothing brings people together
like Woodland Hills. Matt, as you know, okay, then your
dead guy Birthday of the day, Matt beating out Confederate
Gorilla and the author of the Lawrence, Kansas Massacre, Captain
William Quantrille is another pretty bad guy, super Mafio soul.
(12:55):
This guy's pretty bad, real bad.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Sicily.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Salvatore Marizano aka Little Caesar born in Mar de Gulfo
in Sicily, the youngest of twelve, only five lived to adulthood.
He studied to be a priest but got into the mafia.
(13:22):
And he had a commanding presence and the culture personality
and a fascination with Julius Caesar, hence the name Little Caesar.
He came to Brooklyn from Sicily in the twenties. He
was sent to seize control of some organized crime mop
in New York. His legitimate business front real estate broker.
(13:44):
Don't trust the real estate guys. He got into bootlegging,
got into toots, got into drugs, was mentored by Joe Bondanoon,
and he went after the Coppo de Copy Joe Maserla
in nineteen thirty and he got Lucky Luciano to kill him.
(14:06):
They sent him up to a restaurant and Coney Lucky
Luciano left, went to the bathroom. Four gunman came out
of the bathroom shot everybody. Luciano came up from Marizano
and he became the boss, the boss of all bosses,
and he created Little Caesar, the mob hierarchy of New
(14:30):
York City, the five Families in New York, the made
men thing, the Boss, the Underboss, the capos that Lebron
likes to talk about, or the capos and the capas
and the capas, the capa logos. He was an arrogant man,
and he loved putting people down, making him feel small.
(14:56):
He loved comparing his organization to the Roman Empire. He
was a to Luciano's ties with Jewish gangsters like Meyer
Lansky and Bugsy Siegel, and Luciano eventually had Little Caesar
killed in nineteen thirty one, shot and stabbed by four
Jewish gangsters that he didn't recognize. The assassination was called
(15:16):
the Night of the Sicilian Vespers. Now there's a lot
of books and a lot of movies Matt about this man,
Little Caesar Salvatore Marizano, but there's only one true depiction
of him, and that is Edward G. Robinson's Little Season.
(15:39):
So somebody finally put one in you heah, and they
guess raised me. Though the old man will be glad
to hear it. He takes such an interest in you.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Now you telling him the cops.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Couldn't get me in all the way, so they hired
a couple of gunmen. I wasn't on the force. I
had done the job sheep have. Did you ever stopped
to think how you look with a lily in your hand? No?
I never did. I've been in this game a good
many years, and I put the cups.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
On a lot of the mode.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Someday you and I are going to take a ride Rico,
and when we do, I'll have the cups on you too. No,
buzz like you. We'll ever put any cups on Rico.
Come on, boys, any other things I'm going to get
that one that isn't love if it's the nurst thing
(16:26):
I ever do.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yes, that's what I'm gonna do. Now you're seeing that's him.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
That's where it all came from the same say, one
hundred and forty four today he would have been our
one hundred and thirty four assassinated in nineteen thirty one
at forty five years old.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
You're a live guy, p percussion show record, William Thomas Berry,
Bill Barry. They got Grammys. At one point, they were
in the conversation as the biggest rock band in America,
but still feels like for me and maybe it's my
age and the pack they had kind of was one
of the first cool bands I felt like I was
listening to because I was young enough when Reckoning came
(17:06):
out and Fables of the Reconstruction that I thought it
was a lot cooler than my friends were listening to
Bon Jovie.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
But ari Em Wow, Phil Berry, yeah, you kind of were.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yeah, and then Everybody Hurts came out and that hurts you.
That got your cause swimming. I love that.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Born in Minnesota, Shiny Happy People's the one that really
did it for me.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I apologies to Kate Born of Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Moved around a lot as a kid, said, that's why he
kind of got so invested in music. It's kind of
hard to make friends when you're in Saint Paul one day,
Milwaukee the next year, Sandusky. Eventually the family settled in Macon, Georgia.
That's where he went to high school Northeast. He met
Mike Mills there. They were fast friends, started playing together,
started a bunch of bands, the most popular of which
was called Shadow Facts, but not popular enough to make
(17:50):
it full time, so they got jobs kept at the
grind and then decided to move to Athens when Bill
got into law school at the University of Georgia and
would keep kind of trying the music scene while Bill
was going to school, Mike went to school as well,
and of course, as he's leaning into the idea of
being a lawyer. In January of nineteen eighty, mutual friend
(18:13):
Kathleen O'Brien introduced Bill and Mike Mills to Michael Stipen
Peter Buck. He drops out. They figure it all out
their rehearsal space Jackson Street and Athens, and they played
their first show April fifth, nineteen eighty.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I was supporting a band called The Side.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Effects, and their success was immediate, and that led to
a pretty healthy amount of resentment in what was a
virgining Athens music scene that these newcomers, all of a
sudden were kind of making noise. Touring was tough, there
was not a market for what they did. There was
a market back then for punk rock and hardcore, but
(18:51):
just kind of like alternative rock bands didn't really exist yet.
April nineteen eighty one, they record their first single, Radio
Free Europe, still one of their best, released July eighty
one and on a local independent record label hiptone initial
pressing one thousand copies six hundred cent out as promotional
and to say it took off as an understatement. They
(19:13):
had to do an emergency pressing of an additional six
thousand copies and somehow with just that it found national
critical acclaimed in New York Times, named Radio Free Europe
one of the ten best singles of the year. RCA
came after the major tried to sign them, but they
wanted to go indie label, so they signed with IRS.
(19:33):
They released Murmur Sell about two hundred thousand copies. Letterman
puts them on an eighty three South Central Rain. First
single from Reckoning was launched number one at college radio,
did some damage at the cooler rock stations like the k.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Rocks, Xrts of the World and our Man.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Bill plays everything guitar, bass, mandolin, keys, piano. Obviously was
the drummer, and he's done a ton of backing vocals
on all their studio records.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
He's a writer.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
He's written their best songs, Can't Get There from Here,
drive a eight man on them and then and then
he's also written some of their biggest hits, Man on
the Moon, Everybody hurts and a weird story with with
Bill in Switzerland. He's playing on stage March first, nineteen
ninety five, has a brain aneurysm on stage, survives and
(20:23):
is able to rehab back with the band until like
nineteen ninety seven, and said he just couldn't do it anymore,
that he was Type A hyperactive and for whatever reason,
the aneurysm just kind of put an end to that.
It was just too hard for him to play. So
he bought a farm in Georgia. He retired and he
farms hey and he still does. Yeah, that's the farm guy.
So one of the great drummers. Happy sixty six, Bill Barry.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
And Shakey's brings you to the end of the show.
Shakys dot Com Kershaw on the mound tonight taken on cease.
A great matchup and remember it's a great matchup to

do more at the deadline or think the Dodgers don't
have enough to make a postseason run, keep in mind
the Dodgers are right now without Freddy Freeman, Mookie Betts,
Bruce Dargraderol Michael Grove, Ryan Brazier, Tommy Edmund, Ahmed Rosario,
(06:35):
and Jack Flaherty has not even pitched yet. Plus Max
Mounsey and Yoshi Yamamoto are expected back in the next
month or so. And here's here's the phrase to remember.
That's a lot of fresh arms and bets coming back.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
And now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
The more you know better about yourself.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Everybody brother takes a sting out of losing last night
and Dave Roberts not knowing the rules up. The Angels
are thirteen games under five hundred. They host the Colorado
Rockies tonight at the Big A, but they've won two
in a row. Ain't learning much an Andy Matt, You
you got sweat at a training camp today?
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yeah, I would have loved to have watched a little
bit of training camp as we get off the air
here in the next couple of minutes, might have been
able to run out there see the fourth quarter period.
The Chargers and Rams, though, have their first preseason games
next weekend Hall of Fame game is actually tomorrow and
Canton Bears taking on the Texans, and the Chargers and
Rams will have a joint practice on Sunday at the
(07:40):
Chargers facility for that Bears game tomorrow. If you're expected
to see former USC Heisman Trophy winner and the number
one overall pick, Caleb Williams, you won't. You will see
Tyson Bagen instead. Caleb Williams is not scheduled to play well, he's.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Got so much NFL experience, you know, right, It's like
JJ Reddick in the Summer League and Matt no more
broken femurs on the sideline soon, at least when it
comes with the chain gang. Looks like they might be
getting rid of the chain gang at the highest levels
of football.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Did seem a little bit archaic considering the amount of
technology we now have, But I love the chain gang.
I'm gonna miss the referee or the side judge holding
that single link that was on that specific spot of
the line and then resetting in the middle of the
field to determine whether or not a play was able
to reach the line to gain. The NFL, though, is
(08:32):
going to test the Sony Hawkeye technology to measure first
downs in some preseason games this year. NFL told the
AP that it will not likely be fully implemented in
all stadiums until the twenty twenty five season. There But
beyond the technology for line to gain measurement and new
headsets for coaches communications, Sony is now partnering with the
(08:53):
NFL to enhance sideline photography, broadcast cameras production, and more so,
just more and more tech coming into a primitive brutal
sport slash activity slash physical competition.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Great Cyborgs Men's basketball beat South Sudan today they're now
two and oh in Paris. They played the right anthem
for the South Sudan guys, so they weren't that upset. Uh.
US women's soccer team defeated the Matildas of Australia. Ut
(09:30):
do you know what the English nickname is for those chicks?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I was going to say the Limetts.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
It is not the Limetts. I thought Australia would be
the Sheilas, but it's not. It's the Metilla. It should
be the US faces Japan the Geishas in the quarterbrooms.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
It's exactly right.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
The US women's volleyball team bounced back from a five
set win over Serbia.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
The Blockheads and blockheadades.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Sorry, you're right, Blockets. Japan's Shinnosuke Oka won the gold medal,
and the men's individual all around in gymnastics looks like
a nice, well primped individual. Americans Paul Judah and Fred
Richard placed fourteenth and fifteenth respectively. Way to go, guys,
(10:26):
I guess that's why did.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
You have to includecades.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Well, that's why they were so cheap to win the bronze.
I guess exactly gives us perspective. That's how much they
suck individually. So they were able to come together and
win the bronze.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
That's good ya that Clark Kent dude took his glasses
off on a pommel horse and got after and the
U bronze finandulations to them.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
The funnel funnel horse. After days of delays and uncertainty
over water quality in the Poop River, send the women's
and men's Olympic triathlon races took place after organized said
organizers said the latest tests of the water showed compliance
with quality standards. It was right up to the minute,
like getting our show on today, Like the second they
(11:04):
pulled that thing out there, like jump jump, get it
there now.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
I mean, I'd feel really good about this as you're
standing there like oh yeah, yeah, here it is, here's
here's the water. Well yeah, I just I just saw
you pour that out of that aquapena bottle right there.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
It's not the water from the sand.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
No, it is.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Of course, it is the river, of course.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
And of course there was a an anor clean. I
will drink it inordinate amount of vomiting afterwards, and I'm
not even kidding. So great way to go. Yeah, the
Big ten announced that the Big Ten basketball tournament will
head west in twenty twenty eight to be played in
Las Vegas. So we can all hang on for that.
And you see LA comping for me. Yeah, that's great
(11:46):
man twenty twenty eight, Man, you better hold that job old.
UCLA held their first practice today. As speaking of a hold
in a job, that's the Sean Foster. One month from
the season opener, he wore a shirt that said we're
in La, like he said at the Big Ten Meetia.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Good for him.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
It's us an SCA. Now I wish you would have
been on the back. It's not just as we're in
LA with a picture of California and a star where
LA is. He also said the players are staying at a
hotel off campus in Woodland Hills during training camp for
camaraderie camaraderie purposes. I was the Yankee doodles that I
(12:31):
saw the UCA football team. They nothing brings people together
like Woodland Hills. Matt, as you know, okay, then your
dead guy Birthday of the day, Matt beating out Confederate
Gorilla and the author of the Lawrence, Kansas Massacre, Captain
William Quantrille is another pretty bad guy, super Mafio soul.
(12:55):
This guy's pretty bad, real bad.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Sicily.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Salvatore Marizano aka Little Caesar born in Mar de Gulfo
in Sicily, the youngest of twelve, only five lived to adulthood.
He studied to be a priest but got into the mafia.
(13:22):
And he had a commanding presence and the culture personality
and a fascination with Julius Caesar, hence the name Little Caesar.
He came to Brooklyn from Sicily in the twenties. He
was sent to seize control of some organized crime mop
in New York. His legitimate business front real estate broker.
(13:44):
Don't trust the real estate guys. He got into bootlegging,
got into toots, got into drugs, was mentored by Joe Bondanoon,
and he went after the Coppo de Copy Joe Maserla
in nineteen thirty and he got Lucky Luciano to kill him.
(14:06):
They sent him up to a restaurant and Coney Lucky
Luciano left, went to the bathroom. Four gunman came out
of the bathroom shot everybody. Luciano came up from Marizano
and he became the boss, the boss of all bosses,
and he created Little Caesar, the mob hierarchy of New
(14:30):
York City, the five Families in New York, the made
men thing, the Boss, the Underboss, the capos that Lebron
likes to talk about, or the capos and the capas
and the capas, the capa logos. He was an arrogant man,
and he loved putting people down, making him feel small.
(14:56):
He loved comparing his organization to the Roman Empire. He
was a to Luciano's ties with Jewish gangsters like Meyer
Lansky and Bugsy Siegel, and Luciano eventually had Little Caesar
killed in nineteen thirty one, shot and stabbed by four
Jewish gangsters that he didn't recognize. The assassination was called
(15:16):
the Night of the Sicilian Vespers. Now there's a lot
of books and a lot of movies Matt about this man,
Little Caesar Salvatore Marizano, but there's only one true depiction
of him, and that is Edward G. Robinson's Little Season.
(15:39):
So somebody finally put one in you heah, and they
guess raised me. Though the old man will be glad
to hear it. He takes such an interest in you.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Now you telling him the cops.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Couldn't get me in all the way, so they hired
a couple of gunmen. I wasn't on the force. I
had done the job sheep have. Did you ever stopped
to think how you look with a lily in your hand? No?
I never did. I've been in this game a good
many years, and I put the cups.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
On a lot of the mode.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Someday you and I are going to take a ride Rico,
and when we do, I'll have the cups on you too. No,
buzz like you. We'll ever put any cups on Rico.
Come on, boys, any other things I'm going to get
that one that isn't love if it's the nurst thing
(16:26):
I ever do.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yes, that's what I'm gonna do. Now you're seeing that's him.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
That's where it all came from the same say, one
hundred and forty four today he would have been our
one hundred and thirty four assassinated in nineteen thirty one
at forty five years old.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
You're a live guy, p percussion show record, William Thomas Berry,
Bill Barry. They got Grammys. At one point, they were
in the conversation as the biggest rock band in America,
but still feels like for me and maybe it's my
age and the pack they had kind of was one
of the first cool bands I felt like I was
listening to because I was young enough when Reckoning came
(17:06):
out and Fables of the Reconstruction that I thought it
was a lot cooler than my friends were listening to
Bon Jovie.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
But ari Em Wow, Phil Berry, yeah, you kind of were.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yeah, and then Everybody Hurts came out and that hurts you.
That got your cause swimming. I love that.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Born in Minnesota, Shiny Happy People's the one that really
did it for me.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I apologies to Kate Born of Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Moved around a lot as a kid, said, that's why he
kind of got so invested in music. It's kind of
hard to make friends when you're in Saint Paul one day,
Milwaukee the next year, Sandusky. Eventually the family settled in Macon, Georgia.
That's where he went to high school Northeast. He met
Mike Mills there. They were fast friends, started playing together,
started a bunch of bands, the most popular of which
was called Shadow Facts, but not popular enough to make
(17:50):
it full time, so they got jobs kept at the
grind and then decided to move to Athens when Bill
got into law school at the University of Georgia and
would keep kind of trying the music scene while Bill
was going to school, Mike went to school as well,
and of course, as he's leaning into the idea of
being a lawyer. In January of nineteen eighty, mutual friend
(18:13):
Kathleen O'Brien introduced Bill and Mike Mills to Michael Stipen
Peter Buck. He drops out. They figure it all out
their rehearsal space Jackson Street and Athens, and they played
their first show April fifth, nineteen eighty.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I was supporting a band called The Side.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Effects, and their success was immediate, and that led to
a pretty healthy amount of resentment in what was a
virgining Athens music scene that these newcomers, all of a
sudden were kind of making noise. Touring was tough, there
was not a market for what they did. There was
a market back then for punk rock and hardcore, but
(18:51):
just kind of like alternative rock bands didn't really exist yet.
April nineteen eighty one, they record their first single, Radio
Free Europe, still one of their best, released July eighty
one and on a local independent record label hiptone initial
pressing one thousand copies six hundred cent out as promotional
and to say it took off as an understatement. They
(19:13):
had to do an emergency pressing of an additional six
thousand copies and somehow with just that it found national
critical acclaimed in New York Times, named Radio Free Europe
one of the ten best singles of the year. RCA
came after the major tried to sign them, but they
wanted to go indie label, so they signed with IRS.
(19:33):
They released Murmur Sell about two hundred thousand copies. Letterman
puts them on an eighty three South Central Rain. First
single from Reckoning was launched number one at college radio,
did some damage at the cooler rock stations like the k.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Rocks, Xrts of the World and our Man.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Bill plays everything guitar, bass, mandolin, keys, piano. Obviously was
the drummer, and he's done a ton of backing vocals
on all their studio records.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
He's a writer.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
He's written their best songs, Can't Get There from Here,
drive a eight man on them and then and then
he's also written some of their biggest hits, Man on
the Moon, Everybody hurts and a weird story with with
Bill in Switzerland. He's playing on stage March first, nineteen
ninety five, has a brain aneurysm on stage, survives and
(20:23):
is able to rehab back with the band until like
nineteen ninety seven, and said he just couldn't do it anymore,
that he was Type A hyperactive and for whatever reason,
the aneurysm just kind of put an end to that.
It was just too hard for him to play. So
he bought a farm in Georgia. He retired and he
farms hey and he still does. Yeah, that's the farm guy.
So one of the great drummers. Happy sixty six, Bill Barry.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
And Shakey's brings you to the end of the show.
