I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Well, Jeffrey does have I not showed you any of
Jeffrey's Jeffreysons lots, so he's always wanted us to do
a porn episode, so he s he sent one that
had like all kinds of seventies when women didn't shave.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Oh no, I haven't seen that.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Oh I'll have to. I'll have to or that email

Speaker 2 (03:01):
You keep yeah, you keep hoarding all these juicy pictures, man,
what's up with that?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Well, speaking of Jeffrey, Jeffrey did email. He said, hallo,
Jeffrey here, how are you all doing. I'm doing great.
I'm one hundred and twelve kilograms now and I have
no idea what that.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Is, but that's what he is. Cool, he says, whoo.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
He said, it's freezing here, and I love it. I
hope spring keeps away and it stays winter. Yes, yes,
me and he and I are going back and forth
on Twitter about that, because I want summer By the way,
I have an idea for an episode, things from the
seventies that are still popular.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Oh, I don't think we I don't know that.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
I don't think we've tackled that. That'd be a good one.
We'd have to come up with a list of things
that are still around from the seventies or.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
That have come back. I suppose it would work too,
kind of like bell Bottoms kind of came back.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Did you know? Okay, as that was his message. Did
you notice they're not calling them bill bottoms?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Well, they call them so.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
On the Super Bowl, Kendrick Lamar wore bell bottoms. Everybody
made a big deal out of them. I guess they're
like two hundred dollars jeans, and so they were making
all the and I and I. As soon as I
saw him, I said, those jeans are going to sell out. Well,
it's all the races, but nobody's calling them bill bottoms.
(04:28):
The flares flairs they're bill bottoms.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, well call him flairs a little bit, but not
so much.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Well now they're now that's all they call them is flares,
not bill bottoms. But yeah, he made a big splash
with with the bill bottoms.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yeah, Let's go with Gretchen first, because Dave wanted an
update on Gretchen. So Gretchen called called, she's preparing. She
is coming this Thursday, Thursday eight, So we The plan
(05:04):
that I had in my mind was that you and
I were going to cruise over their Thursday night pick
her up. We're gonna have a big sign that said
welcome to Oklahoma, blockhead, Glad you're out of jail. But
unfortunately Todd's uncle is having some health issues, so Todd's
probably gonna have to zip over there tomorrow Wednesday, spend
(05:25):
the night and pick up Richen alone. So I won't
be there to welcome her. I won't be there to
welcome you off the plane. Gretchen.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Well, I won't either. You don't let you get off
the plane?
Speaker 4 (05:36):
What?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah, pick them up at the curb, now you do?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, in Tulsa.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
When's the last time you picked somebody up in the
airport a lot?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I mean we went to California.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I mean yeah, they just they you got to sit
in the car lot, the phone lot.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Well if not, well, I mean you can part No, No,
you don't, you don't have to.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Oh yes, it's just easier.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
We can go to parking and yeah, I mean if
it depends on yeah, I mean no, we usually go
to find a parking spot and go in and greet
them as they come off the Oh yeah, but yeah,
but no, Yeah, they do have those new parking where
the people just text you and say I'm here and
then you pull up to the curb. Yeah, but we don't.
I don't know. For some reason, we never do that.
I guess we like to hug and high five and
(06:23):
help grab luggage.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
And I don't know, Well it's okay, yeah, I'll do that.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Sure you don't want to go, you have to hang
out with my uncle.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
For say, yeah, I don't want to go Wednesday is
the problem.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Well maybe I'll go Thursday. I'm either going late Wednesday
or depends on what all I get done tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Well, we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens. So anyway,
so Gretchen will be here this Thursday, Dave and leave
the next Thursday. So Gretchen is coming. So tomorrow in Oklahoma,
we will we will pro we break every known record
on coldness and coldness this late in the season, and
(07:07):
then it's gonna be not quite as cold on Thursday,
but it's gonna be in the teens. So Gretchen will
arrive in Oklahoma when at night, so it will be
either single digits or teens on Thursday night. But then
by Monday it'll be seve andy, I don't know, seventy
something degrees. Yeah, so she's only gonna have I think
(07:28):
Friday will be a cold day and then it warms
up and like next week will be all sixties and seventies.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, it's gonna be nice next week. So she picked
a pretty good time. Actually, yeah, Monday, seventy one degrees.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yeah, seventy one on Monday. But teens, well, I don't
even know if we'll reach teens tomorrow. It's gonna be
like they're guessing it might be minus twenty wind chill
in Oklahoma Tomorrow Wednesday a nineteen what and that? Okay,
So then that leads to Dave's question days. He says,
(07:58):
when is it ever too much for me to go running?
That'd be tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Oh yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Like this morning I probably would have gone. But on
the mornings when it's like actually snowing and stuff's coming
out of the air and it's icy, I usually can't
go running because I have to stay in the studio
and update all of the school closings and business closings,
and that takes like two hours. You know, It's like
(08:27):
they keep coming in all morning. Whereas because this thing
was so expected that a lot of the cancelations and
closings were done the night before, but there were some
this morning. And then I like to go drive around
the town and show people what the traffic's like. So
when those mornings happen, I don't get hit the trail,
(08:50):
except for like two weeks ago, when it happened, I
went running later in the day. But tomorrow, so Dave,
I don't skip a day. Literally, there's no there's no
day that's too bad that I can't go run. But
tomorrow will probably be the only day that I'm not
going to run because of the weather. If it was
(09:10):
minus two degrees tomorrow, no wind, I'd go run. But
I think tomorrow is going to be like thirty mile
an hour wind with forty mile an hour gusts.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
You're gonna be out there all by yourself and slip
and break a hit.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Well, I've thought about that. Yeah, if I slip and
fall out there I will die. I mean if I
can't get the phone, and I won't if I slipped
and fell, I probably wouldn't. It's hard enough to control
the phone when I'm running and able, and.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I'll get you on them black alert bracelets.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
The thing is, though, it's not really ever slick. How
is it not the true? I don't know, Like when
I went when it was crunchy, it's crunchy. It's not slick.
It's crunchy. There's no and then the areas that sometimes
that are slick. I just you just shuffle and you
literally it's almost safer to shuffle than to try to run.
(10:03):
So anyway, yeah, maybe I better. I don't know if
my phone will go off if I like did one
of those like when you slip on a banana, if
I went up in the air and hit the ground,
it might set my phone off.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
It might. It might thanks you're in a car wreck
or something.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah, Well question is, could could I somebody find me
quick enough before I froze to death?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Okay, so be careful out there your.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Fart Okay, So there you go, Dave, that's okay. And
then he asked, well, he asked about people driving in Oklahoma.
It's a mixture. We get enough snow in Oklahoma that
half the people have no problem driving on it, but
then we have people that move in from states that
don't get snow and so they don't know how to drive.
So it's probably fifty to fifty.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Yeah, I didn't se any accidents today. I was out
all day.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Yeah. No, well, there wasn't a whole lot of people out.
Traffic was really light today. And then last question, he
asked about Shaggy Duck studio as you and I, Well,
you had built the new Shaggy Duck studio on my
back yard. So, Dave, I've always had a Shaggy Duck
studio in the house that I've lived in. So when
we lived there the first time, it was in a bedroom.
(11:15):
Then when we moved on to Woodlands, there was an
office in the garage and that was the studio. And
then when we moved back to the house, Todd built
the studio in the back. So I've had a Shaggy
Duck studio since two thousand, way back, way back.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
When there's always been a Duck studio there you go,
so always been what else any else before we go?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I think that's uh, start before we get started.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Okay, I see you guys eleven minutes later.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
No. So, uh so there's all everything on TV is
Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
I mean TikTok, like.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Five thousand different specials. I can't even keep up with
all the specials they had. But uh, you watched the
SNL concert, which was really cool, and then I watched
the SNL actual fifty year anniversary, which was like three
in a freaking half hour.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Special concept was three hours two Oh it was okay, yeah,
it went fast because of music. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Yeah. So anyway, so we have done an episode on
Saturday Night Live, but it was like seven years ago, seventeen,
twenty seventeen. So if you want to hear that one,
that one we talked more about skits and the actors
and guests. Tonight, we're going to talk about the musical
(12:36):
guests on Saturday Night Live in the seventies.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Now, there was a whole bunch of them that I
wanted to mention that were in eighty eighty one and
eighty two, but I thought, no, no, no, no, no,
I'm not going to touch him. And there was none
of them in the sixties because the show wasn't even
on in the sixties seventy five, but the best musical
groups were in the seventies. And why is that, mister Wheeler, because.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
That was the greatest decade not to men.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Oh and by the way, Philip, we did not forget
last week. He thought he caught us.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Oh really, yeah, did he say something?
Speaker 1 (13:12):
He texted me or messaged me on Facebook and said,
I think you guys forgotten. I was like, oh, no,
I remember specifically, yeah, because we didn't live Well, no,
I guess it was a week before then. So yeah,
so anywhere anywhere for all you out there. Sunday Night
Live did premiere on October eleventh, nineteen seventy five. So
(13:36):
when I go through some of my stuff tonight, be
aware that Saturday Night Live was only on in half
of the seventies, and then it's been on for fifty years.
The original cast included John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Gilda Radner.
George Carlin was the first host back in nineteen said five,
(13:56):
if you guys have not watched the movie Saturday Night,
that's good too. And I guess Jim Henson must have
been one of the Oh yeah, I guess because he
was all over the movie. Yeah, with that was really funny.
Yeah was all of the SNL people were making fun
of the puppets. It was before anybody really knew what
(14:17):
the muppets were and everything, but that was. Yeah, that
was a great part of the movie. And then so
the musical guests on the very first episode were there
was two three, three, Billy Preston and Janis Ian.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
If he count, Andy Kaufman he sung Let's not count.
He was more comedic, and that's another deal. I mean,
there were so many but they crammed so many people
in on that first.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Yeah episode, it was crazy.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah, and a lot of the musical guests right nowadays
they all do two songs.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
I was gonna say they only do two songs, yeah,
in the middle and then one at the end, exactly.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
These guys were doing three and four.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
They were doing like thirteen minute sets.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Yeah, so it was a lot cooler getting your music
on Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
In the seventies. Yeah, speaking of Billy, Oh Where's My Day?
This is a song you did? I was going to
(15:26):
go through and find the actual.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Music from the show.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Yeah, but it was it's a lot easier.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I was gonna say, the sound quality probably wouldn't have
been super good.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
And I did not find Andy Coppin doing here. I
come to say the day.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
You almost have to like record that off a video
on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Yeah, a little bity right there now.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
If you didn't know, except for why can't Simpson not
Jessica Simpson but her little sister, oh other than her,
if you didn't know, all groups and songs on Saturday
Night Live are actually sung on the show. They don't
(16:17):
lip sync except for her. She I think she was
sick that night and they had and she felt she
didn't feel good enough to sing, so they opted to
have her lip sync, and they screwed it up. On
the second song, the drummer started playing one song, the
guitar players were singing, We're doing a different song. Her
(16:40):
voice started singing and she wasn't singing, and the whole
thing fell apart and her her career kind of collapsed
after that.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Well, yere was that?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Oh had to be in the nineties or the odds
probably oughts.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
I never know what to call those guys, Yeah, whatever,
the jealousy, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
The loves men for degreens.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
In high soul glos with cloves and smiles married young
and then so it's kind of a depressing song, yeah,
but it's kind of its.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Yeah, she looks like she could have been on Warriors
or or Welcome Back Odder. Yeah, seventeen.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
She could just say Warriors gonna have to play it.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Okay. So Rolling Stones did a Top fifty greatest Musical performances.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
They sure did.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
And I've got the list now, of course, Uh you
know there were I don't I I was going to
try to find the number of acts, and I don't
know how many different acts over the years there have been,
but it's got to be like probably over six hundred,
maybe because I think they've had like eight hundred hosts,
so musical guests has to be like way up there.
(18:15):
But anyway, so here is now. Remember when I said
that Saturday Night Live was only on in half of
the seventies. They were on all of the eighties, nineties,
everything else. But out of the top fifty that Rolling
Stone picked, thirteen were in the seventies. And I'll read
(18:36):
them backwards real quick, and these I'm not going to
give you much information. I'm just going to tell you
their list. At number fifty, they snuck in there. The
Blues Brothers soul Man in seventy eight, number forty five.

ever on there.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
And it's so when the first episode of that the
Blues Brothers were on, did they do soul Men? Because

And so Ranker is one of those websites where it's
the people that come to the website, they vote either
up or down. And so the people voted Abba number one,
(26:44):
Linda Ronstadt number two, George Harrison came in three, Paul
Simon at four, Blondie at five, Gordon Lightfoot at six,
Carly Simon at seven, Art Garfuncle at eight, Nelson at nine,
James Taylor at ten, Chicago at eleven, Nitty Gritty Band,
(27:04):
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, twelve, and meat Loaf. We had
to have seen meat Loaf on there thirteen, Billy Joel
at fourteen, Bob Dylan at fifteen, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
I guess they did have some seventies rock and roll
on there. We just don't remember sixteen. David Bowie's seventeen.
They got him way down there. Bet Middler at eighteen,
(27:27):
the band at nineteen, and there were Stones at twenty
and I'll stop there.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
They had some pretty and they still to this day
have some an eclectic.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Yeah, I think he well because the whole punk thing
in the seventies, they always wanted to try to get
something that was cutting edge or that everybody. It wasn't
like they were trying to get the number one song person,
you know, where they kind of do that. They kind
of mix it up now like if somebody's on a
(27:59):
hot streak, they'll have them on now, or they'll have
somebody that you you have no idea who they are,
what their music is.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
So this is devo.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
So divo. Devo was like shocking because you know we
had I don't think before Saturday Night Live anybody had
seen Now.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
That's where they got their future. That's how they got
to start. Uh And Lord Michaels did not want to
book them, but their their manager promised that if he
booked them, he would get Neil Young later, so deal
Young's the only reason DEVO got on Saturday. Laugh.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
So I learned some stuff about DEVO. I didn't know
where their name came from. I never thought about it.
I just.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Devolution, de evolution, de evolution.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Yeah, and it was because of the Kent State massacre.
The members of DIVA were convinced that humanity was devolving
rather than evolving, so they called themselves DEVO, short for
de evolution. They used their robotic movements and off kilter
music is an art piece to show what people would
(29:11):
look like when a fully devolved herd mentality took over society.
And so when they were on Saturday Night Live, they
started out with their yellow suits on and their dog
dish looking hats and barely moved and then they ripped
them off and they all looked like they were a
(29:32):
roller derby team had shorts on and T shirts that
I can't remember what it said on their T shirts,
but yeah, sopped, they literally ripped their I don't know
why we don't remember that. Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
That was October fourteenth, nineteen seventy eight. Yeah, it was
the week after the Rolling Stones. This is Jack Ohomo,
which they did on the show Are We Not Men?
That's definitely.
Speaker 7 (30:08):
Man.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
They were strange and they were and they played at
this at the the thing Friday night, the concert, uh huh,
and man, they were jumping around.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
I mean they were right now, they got to be
getting up there in age.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
They got to be, Oh, well they're old or us.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Well we got to be yeah, probably late late sixties,
early seventies some of them.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Yeah, I mean they were looking good, all gray, but they're.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
Looking good que.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Yeah. So anyway, that exposed Devo to the world and
their theatrical weirdness, and it rocketed them to fame, and
then MTV came along and really helped them out in
the eighties. So yeah, so they were on my list
of most controversial.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
And then Elvis Costello pulled his stut.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Elvis Costello, which he didn't Lauren didn't want on either,
but couldn't find another. I guess they asked the Ramones.
I guess they had sex pistols. He wanted sex pistols.
But they were in a lot of trouble and everybody
was scared of what they would do if they made
(31:26):
it on the show. But they couldn't get on the show.
Because they were like in jail or something.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yeah, some of them were someone couldn't get visas or
something like that.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Yeah. So then they called up the Ramones, and the
Ramones said, we don't substitute for anybody, so no, we're
not coming on. And so then I guess they had
they wanted punk rock for some reason. You know, he
had to have punk rock. So they resorted to Elvis Costello,
who you know, when you come on the show, you
have to give them a set list, and they deviated
(31:57):
from their set list, which really pissed Lorne Michael's often,
so he said they could never come back, but.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
They did, but Elvis did twelve years later.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
They basically stopped in the middle of the song and.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
They not even five seconds. They said, whatever it was,
it was they were supposed to do, uh less than zero,
and then he stopped and then immediately played radio Radio,
which I'll play next year. This is watching the Detectives.
I always liked Elvis Costella.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
I've always wondered why he never became mainstream, I mean Superman.
I guess because I guess punk rock never really I
guess at the time there was no punk rock in
our area. There's no punk rock radio stations so huge.
(32:54):
He was always just not even super punk rock. He
was kind of like, yeah, whole bunch of genres mixed together.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Yeah, I don't know why they call it. I'd never
thought about him being to reading this stuff. Come on,
maybe Santa Claus will bring me a new machine on
the days. Let's play radio radio real quick. Where to go,
Where to go? Where to go?
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Where to go?
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Where to go?
Speaker 6 (33:17):
There?
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Not there, dummy. So this is the song got him
in trouble.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
It's an anti establishment track that rallies against media censorship
of bands. Radio advist with every one of those states.
This is this is eighties music.
Speaker 7 (33:42):
I don't I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Why he never really made it big on radio switch
because it's old.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Not that he didn't or doesn't that have a good career. Career,
you guys, let us know.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Is there anybody out there that has Elvis Costello albums
and like, has seen him in concert before? I'm sure
I know that a lot of you have.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
You would think, so, do you remember Patty Smith?
Speaker 5 (34:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Only because wasn't she was somebody before she was Patty Smith?
Speaker 2 (34:22):
I don't know. I mean, my list has her at
number two as far as the uh.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
The memorable performance, uh huh, yeah she was.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (34:37):
Gloria Jesus died for Somebody's sins benw Mine.
Speaker 10 (34:52):
April seventeenth, nineteen seventy six. This is a fan Morris Si.
Speaker 6 (35:02):
Sick hant Stone, missins my they belonged to me?
Speaker 2 (35:12):
May she beware? I did not remember the song.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
I don't remember the song. And maybe she wasn't with
another band maybe and what let me say why I'm
trying to remember what made her controversial on there, or
maybe she wasn't really controversial. I see by the time
(35:40):
of her performance, she was alone in this field or
colleagues or moans wouldn't release their debut until a week
the next week. In so many ways, Smith not only
saying for herself but on behalf of all punk rock
during her SNL performance.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
See, I wouldn't she didn't sound punk to me. But
I guess, let's see, how do you define what's punk
and what's not punk?
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Well, I think like you have to take the band's
overall music. And it's kind of like the police. You
can't pull out breath every breath you take, every breath
you take, because if you just listen to that song,
you would know who please? You know, So some of
(36:24):
these songs aren't indicative of what they really sound like.
I think, but I think punk rock. I think, you know,
you know, you kind of know punk rock when you
hear it. But yeah, that song definitely wasn't a punk
rock song. So the number one on that list that
I think we both were looking at of memorable performances
was Simon and Garfunkle because they had broken up and
(36:48):
this was kind of like the first time they had
kind of gotten together. And actually Garfunkel was the musical
guest on the show.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
I think he was the host too.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
I think Simon was the host.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
Oh that's right, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
And Garfunkle was the guest, and those two were good together.
They had broken up five years earlier. It was a
historic reunionism and I guess they said you could you
(37:29):
could cut the tension with a knife when they weren't singing.
When they were singing, it was all she was like
this perfect. But then when they would stop and talk
a little bit in between songs, I guess you could
just tell there was a tension.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
There is our Garfunkle still around.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
I think so, gosh, Paul Simon look old.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Oh on the fifty year anniversary, I didn't see my Yeah,
well he'd I guess he was.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
He sang you didn't see it. So on the the
special Sunday Night, I think he sang the first song.
Oh and he was looking old.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
Really anyway, scarboroughfare, that's like early seventies stuff.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Yeah, yeah, so that was from they were on together
in seventy five, well, basically the first season.
Speaker 11 (38:30):
I am just a poor boy, though my story is
seldom too guys, squad Lin assistance or a pocket full
of mock books such dark Sens No No, all lies
and chest The man is what he wants to hear
this regards, and.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
They were on the second episode. Yeah, Simon Hosten.
Speaker 11 (39:00):
When I lived in my family gods, no more than.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
This is what the song was headphones.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
I was gonna say, I never noticed that before. But
what I just heard in my left ear, I've never
heard that before.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
I didn't know what that is. Almost says like a
cold zoo.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
It's almost it sounds like a weird twingy sing or somebody.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Juice arp movie, fairly juice arps.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
What that was?
Speaker 2 (39:33):
That's the box shot. Yeah, there's stuff was always kind
of deep.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Yeah, And then they got George Harrison on the show
November of seventy six, and again Paul Simon was there
for his second appearance as an SNL host. Why was
he on twice in the I guess seventy five and
then seventy six.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
That'd be a Fender road out there, mid mood. I got.
I like Paul Simon better than.
Speaker 5 (40:13):
She seems, so glad.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
I like Paul Simon smile fifty ways to.
Speaker 11 (40:20):
And we talked about some old time sandwa drink, also
some abuse. Still crazy, oldies, still crazy.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
We're gonna get a letter on these days. Get what
so we're gonna get a letter one of these days.
You know what?
Speaker 1 (40:43):
I off off topic real quick, I'll do I'll go
real quick. I guess. People on Spotify new new musicians
have been starting podcasts and during the podcast, all they
do is play their songs in the audience. It's their
way of getting on Spotify. I don't know. It must
(41:04):
be hard to get your music on Spotify or something.
So they sent a letter out to Spotify podcasters and said,
your whole episode cannot be your music or we will
shut your podcast down. So I guess all these new
artists have been well, it's their music, but it's a podcast.
The podcast can't just be music, or you got to
(41:24):
be in the music category anyway, So they were being sneaky.
They got caught though.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
I can't pull it. Why do you guess a cold
in here all of a sudden, I don't know, but well,
my legs got cold.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
Also, if it's blowing on you, maybe it does it
have a shut off, like when he has a certain temperature. Yeah,
I guess, oh, that probably just shut off. I'm not cold,
so but I haven't had it on my leg. Ray
Charles was on in November of seventy seven. He pulled
double duty as a host and musical guest. He can't see.
Speaker 2 (42:11):
Clearly, I got to say it.
Speaker 1 (42:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:21):
They said he did a really good job hosting. They
didn't know how he was going to come across, but
I guess he was like super funny.
Speaker 1 (42:31):
They asked him why he hosted. He said, when the
people from Saturday Night Live first asked me to host
this show, of course I said absolutely not. I knew
the show was tasteless and offensive and there was no
way I was going to let thirty years of my
career go down the drain. I might be blind, but
I'm certainly not stupid, he said. He was joking.
Speaker 2 (43:08):
You're saying one of that corls. We're making fun of.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
Noises what you say, a little bit of Charlie Brown there.
Speaker 2 (43:27):
Yeah, it does and Mamas a tribute wrong, come and
love you that all my mom.
Speaker 4 (43:51):
Do?
Speaker 6 (43:51):
Do do do?
Speaker 2 (43:53):
See the girl with the dom ray see no fighter
said that day?
Speaker 1 (44:01):
What I say, Ray Ray Ray? Going back to the
Blues Brothers real quick, the sketch that they did, so
they were before they were the Blues Brothers. They were
the Howard Shore and his All Be band, And that's
where it started. Yeah, Blushy hated wearing the bubble Bee.
(44:23):
I guess it was almost like a weekly thing there
for a while. They were sticking him in the bumble
bee costume.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
Yeah, yeah, I guess he was.
Speaker 1 (44:30):
He hated it. Yeah, but that is where the Blues
Brothers came from. And I remember during the show they
talked about Ackroyd and Blushi in their blues suits did
the skit for Lorn and he hated it and told
(44:53):
him they couldn't do it. That night they rehearsed it
and had everything going, and he said, nobody's going to
like it. And so he said, and I think they
had like a I don't know, three minute song or
something or no, there was like another skit that was
like three minutes, and Lauren told them, nobody's gonna like it.
You can't do it because I guess all the time
(45:13):
they're shooting down skid ideas and stuff. And then something
happened with one of the skits and it got cut
down to a minute, and they were trying to figure
out how to fill like at the last minute, that
extra two minutes or whatever. And then those two were like, hey,
let us try and he said what he goes okay,
but just to prove you guys wrong, I'm going to
(45:35):
let you go out there and embarrass yourselves. And they
went out there and the rest is history.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
It's amazing how much talent that guy's gone through, you know.
Speaker 1 (45:47):
Yeah, And it's also funny thinking about before, you know,
before there were Saturday Live, before there was the Blues Brothers,
you didn't know if that stuff was going to work. Yeah,
at the time, it just as easily could have failed, right,
But you know, now we look back on it, We're like,
how could you ever thought that the Blues Brothers wouldn't
(46:09):
make it? But at the time you're like, no, that's stupid.
Speaker 2 (46:13):
I mean Devo made it.
Speaker 1 (46:14):
Come on, come on. Yeah. So Rolling Stones, which you
talked about, was on there, and I guess those guys
they drank and snorted cocaine all week long with John Belushi,
and so they were so wasted by the time the
show got there that Mick Jagger could hardly sing right,
(46:36):
and so I think he was on a bing or too,
and so that's why he was licking ron Woods. And
at one point they were afraid Jagger was gonna take
all his clothes off.
Speaker 2 (46:55):
Yeah, because yeah he did. He started undressing and he
was then he went back for some reason he was
smacking ron Wood again with this shirt. Yeah, like whipping
even he just ignored him. He just kept playing. You know,
back then, I wasn't really a big fan of The Stones.
Speaker 1 (47:13):
Back then, I wasn't either. It took me till about
eighty three before I discovered because I hadn't heard I
had only heard the radio songs by The Stones. I
hadn't heard songs that didn't really ever make the radio,
and then when I heard some of those, I was like,
holy crap, I really like the Stones.
Speaker 2 (47:32):
Yeah you've told that story. It was what was the
name of that song?
Speaker 1 (47:36):
You can't always get what you want?
Speaker 2 (47:38):
And it's about the devil?
Speaker 1 (47:41):
Yeah? Who who? I can't think of the name of
it anyway, Yeah, some of those longer.
Speaker 2 (47:55):
So they did this song too. Look at that. Can
you imagine those that group in John Belush, I bet
(48:19):
Lord Michaels pulling the hair out.
Speaker 1 (48:25):
Yeah. So according to that list, the last great one
of the seventies was the David Bowie and they showed
one of his performances on the show Sunday Night and
he was dressed in this weird, stiff costume where he
(48:45):
couldn't move his legs and it looked like he had
like a big puffy dress on and these guys had
to like carry him out to the microphone. Very very
strange costume.
Speaker 2 (48:58):
So he did this song it's called TVC fifteen. I've
never heard of it.
Speaker 1 (49:21):
He was all about performance art. He was, you know,
he was glam rock, which we talked about a couple.
Speaker 2 (49:26):
Of weeks ago, very much. So let me see what
one other song he did.
Speaker 1 (49:32):
What was it he did The Man Who Sold the World.
Speaker 2 (49:36):
Yeah, and I played the ol Ago Boys Keep Swinging.
Speaker 1 (49:42):
Yeah, and again. In the seventies they all got to
play a lot more than just two songs.
Speaker 2 (50:15):
Did I remember the songs Boys Keep Swinging? Interesting?
Speaker 1 (50:29):
Here's a few other people. I don't know if you
guys remember these. I don't remember Martha Reeves, she was
on the Chieftains. I don't remember the Chieftains. I remember
Rita Coolidge. Lily Tomlin was a musical guest.
Speaker 2 (50:46):
Yeah, I didn't know she was musical.
Speaker 1 (50:49):
I didn't either. She had an album out called twentieth
Century Masters, The Millennial Collection and the Best of Lily Tomlin.
Huh did she sing in the movie with Sylvester Stallone
Not Sylvester Stallone.
Speaker 4 (51:10):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (51:10):
John Travolta remember they did? Remember they dated?
Speaker 7 (51:15):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (51:15):
Yeah they did. They did like a serious movie together,
did that? I wonder if they had a song in
that movie?
Speaker 2 (51:21):
Shoot? I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (51:23):
Anyway, you guys, anybody out there remember when Lily Tomlin
and uh John Travolta dated. Judy Collins was a musical guest.
Anne Murray, Talking Heads, Jimmy Buffett, Van Morrison, Bonnie Raitt,
The Kinks, Brian Wilson. What's your cueuing up? Over there?

Speaker 2 (52:30):
I was looking she got a bunch of recordings, but probably.
Speaker 1 (52:33):
Just it was moment by moment. I wonder whose I
wonder if there was.
Speaker 2 (52:39):
A song I'm over my feet are freezing anyway?

Speaker 2 (02:38):
I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Well, Jeffrey does have I not showed you any of
Jeffrey's Jeffreysons lots, so he's always wanted us to do
a porn episode, so he s he sent one that
had like all kinds of seventies when women didn't shave.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Oh no, I haven't seen that.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Oh I'll have to. I'll have to or that email
to you.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
You keep yeah, you keep hoarding all these juicy pictures, man,
what's up with that?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Well, speaking of Jeffrey, Jeffrey did email. He said, hallo,
Jeffrey here, how are you all doing. I'm doing great.
I'm one hundred and twelve kilograms now and I have
no idea what that.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Is, but that's what he is. Cool, he says, whoo.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
He said, it's freezing here, and I love it. I
hope spring keeps away and it stays winter. Yes, yes,
me and he and I are going back and forth
on Twitter about that, because I want summer By the way,
I have an idea for an episode, things from the
seventies that are still popular.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Oh, I don't think we I don't know that.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
I don't think we've tackled that. That'd be a good one.
We'd have to come up with a list of things
that are still around from the seventies or.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
That have come back. I suppose it would work too,
kind of like bell Bottoms kind of came back.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Did you know? Okay, as that was his message. Did
you notice they're not calling them bill bottoms?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Well, they call them so.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
On the Super Bowl, Kendrick Lamar wore bell bottoms. Everybody
made a big deal out of them. I guess they're
like two hundred dollars jeans, and so they were making
all the and I and I. As soon as I
saw him, I said, those jeans are going to sell out. Well,
it's all the races, but nobody's calling them bill bottoms.
(04:28):
The flares flairs they're bill bottoms.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, well call him flairs a little bit, but not
so much.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Well now they're now that's all they call them is flares,
not bill bottoms. But yeah, he made a big splash
with with the bill bottoms.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yeah, Let's go with Gretchen first, because Dave wanted an
update on Gretchen. So Gretchen called called, she's preparing. She
is coming this Thursday, Thursday eight, So we The plan
(05:04):
that I had in my mind was that you and
I were going to cruise over their Thursday night pick
her up. We're gonna have a big sign that said
welcome to Oklahoma, blockhead, Glad you're out of jail. But
unfortunately Todd's uncle is having some health issues, so Todd's
probably gonna have to zip over there tomorrow Wednesday, spend
(05:25):
the night and pick up Richen alone. So I won't
be there to welcome her. I won't be there to
welcome you off the plane. Gretchen.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Well, I won't either. You don't let you get off
the plane?
Speaker 4 (05:36):
What?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah, pick them up at the curb, now you do?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, in Tulsa.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
When's the last time you picked somebody up in the
airport a lot?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I mean we went to California.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I mean yeah, they just they you got to sit
in the car lot, the phone lot.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Well if not, well, I mean you can part No, No,
you don't, you don't have to.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Oh yes, it's just easier.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
We can go to parking and yeah, I mean if
it depends on yeah, I mean no, we usually go
to find a parking spot and go in and greet
them as they come off the Oh yeah, but yeah,
but no, Yeah, they do have those new parking where
the people just text you and say I'm here and
then you pull up to the curb. Yeah, but we don't.
I don't know. For some reason, we never do that.
I guess we like to hug and high five and
(06:23):
help grab luggage.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
And I don't know, Well it's okay, yeah, I'll do that.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Sure you don't want to go, you have to hang
out with my uncle.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
For say, yeah, I don't want to go Wednesday is
the problem.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Well maybe I'll go Thursday. I'm either going late Wednesday
or depends on what all I get done tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Well, we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens. So anyway,
so Gretchen will be here this Thursday, Dave and leave
the next Thursday. So Gretchen is coming. So tomorrow in Oklahoma,
we will we will pro we break every known record
on coldness and coldness this late in the season, and
(07:07):
then it's gonna be not quite as cold on Thursday,
but it's gonna be in the teens. So Gretchen will
arrive in Oklahoma when at night, so it will be
either single digits or teens on Thursday night. But then
by Monday it'll be seve andy, I don't know, seventy
something degrees. Yeah, so she's only gonna have I think
(07:28):
Friday will be a cold day and then it warms
up and like next week will be all sixties and seventies.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, it's gonna be nice next week. So she picked
a pretty good time. Actually, yeah, Monday, seventy one degrees.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yeah, seventy one on Monday. But teens, well, I don't
even know if we'll reach teens tomorrow. It's gonna be
like they're guessing it might be minus twenty wind chill
in Oklahoma Tomorrow Wednesday a nineteen what and that? Okay,
So then that leads to Dave's question days. He says,
(07:58):
when is it ever too much for me to go running?
That'd be tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Oh yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Like this morning I probably would have gone. But on
the mornings when it's like actually snowing and stuff's coming
out of the air and it's icy, I usually can't
go running because I have to stay in the studio
and update all of the school closings and business closings,
and that takes like two hours. You know, It's like
(08:27):
they keep coming in all morning. Whereas because this thing
was so expected that a lot of the cancelations and
closings were done the night before, but there were some
this morning. And then I like to go drive around
the town and show people what the traffic's like. So
when those mornings happen, I don't get hit the trail,
(08:50):
except for like two weeks ago, when it happened, I
went running later in the day. But tomorrow, so Dave,
I don't skip a day. Literally, there's no there's no
day that's too bad that I can't go run. But
tomorrow will probably be the only day that I'm not
going to run because of the weather. If it was
(09:10):
minus two degrees tomorrow, no wind, I'd go run. But
I think tomorrow is going to be like thirty mile
an hour wind with forty mile an hour gusts.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
You're gonna be out there all by yourself and slip
and break a hit.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Well, I've thought about that. Yeah, if I slip and
fall out there I will die. I mean if I
can't get the phone, and I won't if I slipped
and fell, I probably wouldn't. It's hard enough to control
the phone when I'm running and able, and.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I'll get you on them black alert bracelets.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
The thing is, though, it's not really ever slick. How
is it not the true? I don't know, Like when
I went when it was crunchy, it's crunchy. It's not slick.
It's crunchy. There's no and then the areas that sometimes
that are slick. I just you just shuffle and you
literally it's almost safer to shuffle than to try to run.
(10:03):
So anyway, yeah, maybe I better. I don't know if
my phone will go off if I like did one
of those like when you slip on a banana, if
I went up in the air and hit the ground,
it might set my phone off.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
It might. It might thanks you're in a car wreck
or something.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah, Well question is, could could I somebody find me
quick enough before I froze to death?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Okay, so be careful out there your.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Fart Okay, So there you go, Dave, that's okay. And
then he asked, well, he asked about people driving in Oklahoma.
It's a mixture. We get enough snow in Oklahoma that
half the people have no problem driving on it, but
then we have people that move in from states that
don't get snow and so they don't know how to drive.
So it's probably fifty to fifty.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Yeah, I didn't se any accidents today. I was out
all day.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Yeah. No, well, there wasn't a whole lot of people out.
Traffic was really light today. And then last question, he
asked about Shaggy Duck studio as you and I, Well,
you had built the new Shaggy Duck studio on my
back yard. So, Dave, I've always had a Shaggy Duck
studio in the house that I've lived in. So when
we lived there the first time, it was in a bedroom.
(11:15):
Then when we moved on to Woodlands, there was an
office in the garage and that was the studio. And
then when we moved back to the house, Todd built
the studio in the back. So I've had a Shaggy
Duck studio since two thousand, way back, way back.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
When there's always been a Duck studio there you go,
so always been what else any else before we go?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I think that's uh, start before we get started.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Okay, I see you guys eleven minutes later.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
No. So, uh so there's all everything on TV is
Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
I mean TikTok, like.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Five thousand different specials. I can't even keep up with
all the specials they had. But uh, you watched the
SNL concert, which was really cool, and then I watched
the SNL actual fifty year anniversary, which was like three
in a freaking half hour.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Special concept was three hours two Oh it was okay, yeah,
it went fast because of music. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Yeah. So anyway, so we have done an episode on
Saturday Night Live, but it was like seven years ago, seventeen,
twenty seventeen. So if you want to hear that one,
that one we talked more about skits and the actors
and guests. Tonight, we're going to talk about the musical
(12:36):
guests on Saturday Night Live in the seventies.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Now, there was a whole bunch of them that I
wanted to mention that were in eighty eighty one and
eighty two, but I thought, no, no, no, no, no,
I'm not going to touch him. And there was none
of them in the sixties because the show wasn't even
on in the sixties seventy five, but the best musical
groups were in the seventies. And why is that, mister Wheeler, because.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
That was the greatest decade not to men.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Oh and by the way, Philip, we did not forget
last week. He thought he caught us.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Oh really, yeah, did he say something?
Speaker 1 (13:12):
He texted me or messaged me on Facebook and said,
I think you guys forgotten. I was like, oh, no,
I remember specifically, yeah, because we didn't live Well, no,
I guess it was a week before then. So yeah,
so anywhere anywhere for all you out there. Sunday Night
Live did premiere on October eleventh, nineteen seventy five. So
(13:36):
when I go through some of my stuff tonight, be
aware that Saturday Night Live was only on in half
of the seventies, and then it's been on for fifty years.
The original cast included John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Gilda Radner.
George Carlin was the first host back in nineteen said five,
(13:56):
if you guys have not watched the movie Saturday Night,
that's good too. And I guess Jim Henson must have
been one of the Oh yeah, I guess because he
was all over the movie. Yeah, with that was really funny.
Yeah was all of the SNL people were making fun
of the puppets. It was before anybody really knew what
(14:17):
the muppets were and everything, but that was. Yeah, that
was a great part of the movie. And then so
the musical guests on the very first episode were there
was two three, three, Billy Preston and Janis Ian.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
If he count, Andy Kaufman he sung Let's not count.
He was more comedic, and that's another deal. I mean,
there were so many but they crammed so many people
in on that first.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Yeah episode, it was crazy.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah, and a lot of the musical guests right nowadays
they all do two songs.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
I was gonna say they only do two songs, yeah,
in the middle and then one at the end, exactly.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
These guys were doing three and four.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
They were doing like thirteen minute sets.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Yeah, so it was a lot cooler getting your music
on Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
In the seventies. Yeah, speaking of Billy, Oh Where's My Day?
This is a song you did? I was going to
(15:26):
go through and find the actual.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Music from the show.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Yeah, but it was it's a lot easier.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I was gonna say, the sound quality probably wouldn't have
been super good.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
And I did not find Andy Coppin doing here. I
come to say the day.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
You almost have to like record that off a video
on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Yeah, a little bity right there now.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
If you didn't know, except for why can't Simpson not
Jessica Simpson but her little sister, oh other than her,
if you didn't know, all groups and songs on Saturday
Night Live are actually sung on the show. They don't
(16:17):
lip sync except for her. She I think she was
sick that night and they had and she felt she
didn't feel good enough to sing, so they opted to
have her lip sync, and they screwed it up. On
the second song, the drummer started playing one song, the
guitar players were singing, We're doing a different song. Her
(16:40):
voice started singing and she wasn't singing, and the whole
thing fell apart and her her career kind of collapsed
after that.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Well, yere was that?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Oh had to be in the nineties or the odds
probably oughts.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
I never know what to call those guys, Yeah, whatever,
the jealousy, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
The loves men for degreens.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
In high soul glos with cloves and smiles married young
and then so it's kind of a depressing song, yeah,
but it's kind of its.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Yeah, she looks like she could have been on Warriors
or or Welcome Back Odder. Yeah, seventeen.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
She could just say Warriors gonna have to play it.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Okay. So Rolling Stones did a Top fifty greatest Musical performances.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
They sure did.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
And I've got the list now, of course, Uh you
know there were I don't I I was going to
try to find the number of acts, and I don't
know how many different acts over the years there have been,
but it's got to be like probably over six hundred,
maybe because I think they've had like eight hundred hosts,
so musical guests has to be like way up there.
(18:15):
But anyway, so here is now. Remember when I said
that Saturday Night Live was only on in half of
the seventies. They were on all of the eighties, nineties,
everything else. But out of the top fifty that Rolling
Stone picked, thirteen were in the seventies. And I'll read
(18:36):
them backwards real quick, and these I'm not going to
give you much information. I'm just going to tell you
their list. At number fifty, they snuck in there. The
Blues Brothers soul Man in seventy eight, number forty five.
Joan Joan ar Armor Trading.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I ever heard of it?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
I meant to look that song up. Love and Affection
from seventy seven, Yeah, I don't know. Forty two was
Devo with Jock Ohomel in seventy eight.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
That's weird. I got a totally different list.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Well, this is from Rolling Stone. Yeah. Did you get
a Rolling Stone list too?
Speaker 7 (19:13):
No?
Speaker 2 (19:13):
I got the New York Music Dot.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Com Okay, thirty nine Brian Wilson, Good Vibrations in seventy six.
Thirty seventh place was the Rolling Stones Shattered in seventy eight.
Number thirty four was Talking Heads Take Me to the
River in seventy nine, number thirty one. They had Leon
Redbone Shine on Harvest Moon in seventy six at number
twenty five, or Nett Coleman Times Square in seventy nine.
(19:38):
I don't remember that when either. Carly Simon came in
at twenty one You're So Vain in seventy six, and
then they had George Harrison on in seventy six, and
he did a song with Paul Simon Homeward Bound that
came in in sixteenth place, and at number six was
Patty Smith Group with Gloria in seventy six, Elvis Costello
(19:59):
with Radio Radio in seventy seven, that was a big
controversy at number three, and then David Bowie out of
all of the out of fifty years, number one was
David Bowie, the man who sold the world from the seventies,
nineteen seventy nine.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
My list, I ain't play the Stupid Machine the state
of Poit. I don't remember this song.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
He spoke.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I mean I remember it, I didn't hear.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
It alng See my list had him at number ten.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Watts Game, Yeah, there's a lot of lists, but I
figured Rolling Stones, Jared, I'm kind of being a music magazine.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Yeah, big one the Mountain sold the world.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
So real quick? Do you remember any Do you remember
any specific shows in the seventies that like really like
stand out like you can remember them today.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I mean musical guests, Yeah, musical guests, Uh except for Bros.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
I was gonna say, yeah, the Blues Brothers. I'm trying
to think if anybody like Blue like I don't know
that like groups like that we listened to, like Kansas
or Kiss. I don't think they ever I don't know
that they ever Yeah, I don't know that they were
ever on there.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
And it's so when the first episode of that the
Blues Brothers were on, did they do soul Men? Because
my listen, they didn't.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Know because I when they So when they started the
Blues Brothers, John Belushi was in a b costume. Oh
that's right, that's right, and so they they didn't. Yeah, no,
they did do Hate Bartender.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Night stop bringing all the friends?
Speaker 1 (22:19):
That was so good I had.
Speaker 7 (22:24):
About them.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
It's a long time.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
April twenty second, nineteen seventy said.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
That friends.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Also did.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Yeah, isn't that crazy? Because I can remember skits and
and we can repeat lines from all those skits, but
I don't really remember Chee Cheeboger, any memorable bands.
Speaker 7 (23:10):
Sick and Tide, by the way you do.
Speaker 8 (23:13):
Your time, Papa going to pause of you. He's break
a group of dust styles around your old bed. Bring
up one of these days, find your own self, dish.
You shouldn't say that. I said, what did I say
to make you mad this time?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
She said, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
I don't know. Actually don't remember that song.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
The Blues brother Okay, I got all kinds of fun lists.
Here is a list of seventies musical groups from Saturday
Night Live that were only that were what they call
one timers. They only performed one time in the last
fifty years. Abba Oh in seventy five, The Band in
seventy six. I guess they broke up like right after
(24:05):
their SNL.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Here's the band, go Ahead.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Blondie in seventy nine, Jimmy Buffett in seventy eight, Ray
Charles in seventy seven, Chicago in seventy nine, Judy Collins
in seventy nine, Doobie Brothers in seventy nine, Bet Midler
in seventy nine, and Van Morrison in seventy eight.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
This is the band. Life is a carnival. They also
did what else did they do? I got it here?
This is the water famous for this is the one everybody.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Remembers sixty.
Speaker 8 (25:07):
Just barely.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
They Yeah, they didn't do much after this.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I think they I think they knew they were disbanding.
I think so yeah. I think they did some big
concerts and then they did Saturday Night Live, and then
I think they kind of knew that they were disbanding.
Foot up from what I remember reading, I wonder what
or what I don't remember.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
So did you did you catch the stone? I do
remember the stones on there. Actually when David Bowie was
licking uh, what's his face?
Speaker 1 (26:03):
You mean Mick Jagger.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Yeah, sorry, Mick Jagger was licking ron Woods. I do
remember that.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Yeah, I don't really. Yeah, I've got a whole list
of the most controversial.
Speaker 9 (26:17):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
But then I've also got a list from Ranker. Ranker.
They ranked the top I don't know, like fifty, and
I didn't get all fifty, but their top of the list.
And so Ranker is one of those websites where it's
the people that come to the website, they vote either
up or down. And so the people voted Abba number one,
(26:44):
Linda Ronstadt number two, George Harrison came in three, Paul
Simon at four, Blondie at five, Gordon Lightfoot at six,
Carly Simon at seven, Art Garfuncle at eight, Nelson at nine,
James Taylor at ten, Chicago at eleven, Nitty Gritty Band,
(27:04):
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, twelve, and meat Loaf. We had
to have seen meat Loaf on there thirteen, Billy Joel
at fourteen, Bob Dylan at fifteen, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
I guess they did have some seventies rock and roll
on there. We just don't remember sixteen. David Bowie's seventeen.
They got him way down there. Bet Middler at eighteen,
(27:27):
the band at nineteen, and there were Stones at twenty
and I'll stop there.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
They had some pretty and they still to this day
have some an eclectic.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Yeah, I think he well because the whole punk thing
in the seventies, they always wanted to try to get
something that was cutting edge or that everybody. It wasn't
like they were trying to get the number one song person,
you know, where they kind of do that. They kind
of mix it up now like if somebody's on a
(27:59):
hot streak, they'll have them on now, or they'll have
somebody that you you have no idea who they are,
what their music is.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
So this is devo.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
So divo. Devo was like shocking because you know we
had I don't think before Saturday Night Live anybody had
seen Now.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
That's where they got their future. That's how they got
to start. Uh And Lord Michaels did not want to
book them, but their their manager promised that if he
booked them, he would get Neil Young later, so deal
Young's the only reason DEVO got on Saturday. Laugh.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
So I learned some stuff about DEVO. I didn't know
where their name came from. I never thought about it.
I just.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Devolution, de evolution, de evolution.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Yeah, and it was because of the Kent State massacre.
The members of DIVA were convinced that humanity was devolving
rather than evolving, so they called themselves DEVO, short for
de evolution. They used their robotic movements and off kilter
music is an art piece to show what people would
(29:11):
look like when a fully devolved herd mentality took over society.
And so when they were on Saturday Night Live, they
started out with their yellow suits on and their dog
dish looking hats and barely moved and then they ripped
them off and they all looked like they were a
(29:32):
roller derby team had shorts on and T shirts that
I can't remember what it said on their T shirts,
but yeah, sopped, they literally ripped their I don't know
why we don't remember that. Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
That was October fourteenth, nineteen seventy eight. Yeah, it was
the week after the Rolling Stones. This is Jack Ohomo,
which they did on the show Are We Not Men?
That's definitely.
Speaker 7 (30:08):
Man.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
They were strange and they were and they played at
this at the the thing Friday night, the concert, uh huh,
and man, they were jumping around.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
I mean they were right now, they got to be
getting up there in age.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
They got to be, Oh, well they're old or us.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Well we got to be yeah, probably late late sixties,
early seventies some of them.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Yeah, I mean they were looking good, all gray, but they're.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
Looking good que.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Yeah. So anyway, that exposed Devo to the world and
their theatrical weirdness, and it rocketed them to fame, and
then MTV came along and really helped them out in
the eighties. So yeah, so they were on my list
of most controversial.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
And then Elvis Costello pulled his stut.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Elvis Costello, which he didn't Lauren didn't want on either,
but couldn't find another. I guess they asked the Ramones.
I guess they had sex pistols. He wanted sex pistols.
But they were in a lot of trouble and everybody
was scared of what they would do if they made
(31:26):
it on the show. But they couldn't get on the show.
Because they were like in jail or something.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yeah, some of them were someone couldn't get visas or
something like that.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Yeah. So then they called up the Ramones, and the
Ramones said, we don't substitute for anybody, so no, we're
not coming on. And so then I guess they had
they wanted punk rock for some reason. You know, he
had to have punk rock. So they resorted to Elvis Costello,
who you know, when you come on the show, you
have to give them a set list, and they deviated
(31:57):
from their set list, which really pissed Lorne Michael's often,
so he said they could never come back, but.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
They did, but Elvis did twelve years later.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
They basically stopped in the middle of the song and.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
They not even five seconds. They said, whatever it was,
it was they were supposed to do, uh less than zero,
and then he stopped and then immediately played radio Radio,
which I'll play next year. This is watching the Detectives.
I always liked Elvis Costella.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
I've always wondered why he never became mainstream, I mean Superman.
I guess because I guess punk rock never really I
guess at the time there was no punk rock in
our area. There's no punk rock radio stations so huge.
(32:54):
He was always just not even super punk rock. He
was kind of like, yeah, whole bunch of genres mixed together.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Yeah, I don't know why they call it. I'd never
thought about him being to reading this stuff. Come on,
maybe Santa Claus will bring me a new machine on
the days. Let's play radio radio real quick. Where to go,
Where to go? Where to go?
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Where to go?
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Where to go?
Speaker 6 (33:17):
There?
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Not there, dummy. So this is the song got him
in trouble.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
It's an anti establishment track that rallies against media censorship
of bands. Radio advist with every one of those states.
This is this is eighties music.
Speaker 7 (33:42):
I don't I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Why he never really made it big on radio switch
because it's old.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Not that he didn't or doesn't that have a good career. Career,
you guys, let us know.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Is there anybody out there that has Elvis Costello albums
and like, has seen him in concert before? I'm sure
I know that a lot of you have.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
You would think, so, do you remember Patty Smith?
Speaker 5 (34:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Only because wasn't she was somebody before she was Patty Smith?
Speaker 2 (34:22):
I don't know. I mean, my list has her at
number two as far as the uh.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
The memorable performance, uh huh, yeah she was.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (34:37):
Gloria Jesus died for Somebody's sins benw Mine.
Speaker 10 (34:52):
April seventeenth, nineteen seventy six. This is a fan Morris Si.
Speaker 6 (35:02):
Sick hant Stone, missins my they belonged to me?
Speaker 2 (35:12):
May she beware? I did not remember the song.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
I don't remember the song. And maybe she wasn't with
another band maybe and what let me say why I'm
trying to remember what made her controversial on there, or
maybe she wasn't really controversial. I see by the time
(35:40):
of her performance, she was alone in this field or
colleagues or moans wouldn't release their debut until a week
the next week. In so many ways, Smith not only
saying for herself but on behalf of all punk rock
during her SNL performance.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
See, I wouldn't she didn't sound punk to me. But
I guess, let's see, how do you define what's punk
and what's not punk?
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Well, I think like you have to take the band's
overall music. And it's kind of like the police. You
can't pull out breath every breath you take, every breath
you take, because if you just listen to that song,
you would know who please? You know, So some of
(36:24):
these songs aren't indicative of what they really sound like.
I think, but I think punk rock. I think, you know,
you know, you kind of know punk rock when you
hear it. But yeah, that song definitely wasn't a punk
rock song. So the number one on that list that
I think we both were looking at of memorable performances
was Simon and Garfunkle because they had broken up and
(36:48):
this was kind of like the first time they had
kind of gotten together. And actually Garfunkel was the musical
guest on the show.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
I think he was the host too.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
I think Simon was the host.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
Oh that's right, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
And Garfunkle was the guest, and those two were good together.
They had broken up five years earlier. It was a
historic reunionism and I guess they said you could you
(37:29):
could cut the tension with a knife when they weren't singing.
When they were singing, it was all she was like
this perfect. But then when they would stop and talk
a little bit in between songs, I guess you could
just tell there was a tension.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
There is our Garfunkle still around.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
I think so, gosh, Paul Simon look old.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Oh on the fifty year anniversary, I didn't see my Yeah,
well he'd I guess he was.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
He sang you didn't see it. So on the the
special Sunday Night, I think he sang the first song.
Oh and he was looking old.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
Really anyway, scarboroughfare, that's like early seventies stuff.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Yeah, yeah, so that was from they were on together
in seventy five, well, basically the first season.
Speaker 11 (38:30):
I am just a poor boy, though my story is
seldom too guys, squad Lin assistance or a pocket full
of mock books such dark Sens No No, all lies
and chest The man is what he wants to hear
this regards, and.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
They were on the second episode. Yeah, Simon Hosten.
Speaker 11 (39:00):
When I lived in my family gods, no more than.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
This is what the song was headphones.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
I was gonna say, I never noticed that before. But
what I just heard in my left ear, I've never
heard that before.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
I didn't know what that is. Almost says like a
cold zoo.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
It's almost it sounds like a weird twingy sing or somebody.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Juice arp movie, fairly juice arps.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
What that was?
Speaker 2 (39:33):
That's the box shot. Yeah, there's stuff was always kind
of deep.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Yeah, And then they got George Harrison on the show
November of seventy six, and again Paul Simon was there
for his second appearance as an SNL host. Why was
he on twice in the I guess seventy five and
then seventy six.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
That'd be a Fender road out there, mid mood. I got.
I like Paul Simon better than.
Speaker 5 (40:13):
She seems, so glad.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
I like Paul Simon smile fifty ways to.
Speaker 11 (40:20):
And we talked about some old time sandwa drink, also
some abuse. Still crazy, oldies, still crazy.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
We're gonna get a letter on these days. Get what
so we're gonna get a letter one of these days.
You know what?
Speaker 1 (40:43):
I off off topic real quick, I'll do I'll go
real quick. I guess. People on Spotify new new musicians
have been starting podcasts and during the podcast, all they
do is play their songs in the audience. It's their
way of getting on Spotify. I don't know. It must
(41:04):
be hard to get your music on Spotify or something.
So they sent a letter out to Spotify podcasters and said,
your whole episode cannot be your music or we will
shut your podcast down. So I guess all these new
artists have been well, it's their music, but it's a podcast.
The podcast can't just be music, or you got to
(41:24):
be in the music category anyway, So they were being sneaky.
They got caught though.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
I can't pull it. Why do you guess a cold
in here all of a sudden, I don't know, but well,
my legs got cold.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
Also, if it's blowing on you, maybe it does it
have a shut off, like when he has a certain temperature. Yeah,
I guess, oh, that probably just shut off. I'm not cold,
so but I haven't had it on my leg. Ray
Charles was on in November of seventy seven. He pulled
double duty as a host and musical guest. He can't see.
Speaker 2 (42:11):
Clearly, I got to say it.
Speaker 1 (42:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:21):
They said he did a really good job hosting. They
didn't know how he was going to come across, but
I guess he was like super funny.
Speaker 1 (42:31):
They asked him why he hosted. He said, when the
people from Saturday Night Live first asked me to host
this show, of course I said absolutely not. I knew
the show was tasteless and offensive and there was no
way I was going to let thirty years of my
career go down the drain. I might be blind, but
I'm certainly not stupid, he said. He was joking.
Speaker 2 (43:08):
You're saying one of that corls. We're making fun of.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
Noises what you say, a little bit of Charlie Brown there.
Speaker 2 (43:27):
Yeah, it does and Mamas a tribute wrong, come and
love you that all my mom.
Speaker 4 (43:51):
Do?
Speaker 6 (43:51):
Do do do?
Speaker 2 (43:53):
See the girl with the dom ray see no fighter
said that day?
Speaker 1 (44:01):
What I say, Ray Ray Ray? Going back to the
Blues Brothers real quick, the sketch that they did, so
they were before they were the Blues Brothers. They were
the Howard Shore and his All Be band, And that's
where it started. Yeah, Blushy hated wearing the bubble Bee.
(44:23):
I guess it was almost like a weekly thing there
for a while. They were sticking him in the bumble
bee costume.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
Yeah, yeah, I guess he was.
Speaker 1 (44:30):
He hated it. Yeah, but that is where the Blues
Brothers came from. And I remember during the show they
talked about Ackroyd and Blushi in their blues suits did
the skit for Lorn and he hated it and told
(44:53):
him they couldn't do it. That night they rehearsed it
and had everything going, and he said, nobody's going to
like it. And so he said, and I think they
had like a I don't know, three minute song or
something or no, there was like another skit that was
like three minutes, and Lauren told them, nobody's gonna like it.
You can't do it because I guess all the time
(45:13):
they're shooting down skid ideas and stuff. And then something
happened with one of the skits and it got cut
down to a minute, and they were trying to figure
out how to fill like at the last minute, that
extra two minutes or whatever. And then those two were like, hey,
let us try and he said what he goes okay,
but just to prove you guys wrong, I'm going to
(45:35):
let you go out there and embarrass yourselves. And they
went out there and the rest is history.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
It's amazing how much talent that guy's gone through, you know.
Speaker 1 (45:47):
Yeah, And it's also funny thinking about before, you know,
before there were Saturday Live, before there was the Blues Brothers,
you didn't know if that stuff was going to work. Yeah,
at the time, it just as easily could have failed, right,
But you know, now we look back on it, We're like,
how could you ever thought that the Blues Brothers wouldn't
(46:09):
make it? But at the time you're like, no, that's stupid.
Speaker 2 (46:13):
I mean Devo made it.
Speaker 1 (46:14):
Come on, come on. Yeah. So Rolling Stones, which you
talked about, was on there, and I guess those guys
they drank and snorted cocaine all week long with John Belushi,
and so they were so wasted by the time the
show got there that Mick Jagger could hardly sing right,
(46:36):
and so I think he was on a bing or too,
and so that's why he was licking ron Woods. And
at one point they were afraid Jagger was gonna take
all his clothes off.
Speaker 2 (46:55):
Yeah, because yeah he did. He started undressing and he
was then he went back for some reason he was
smacking ron Wood again with this shirt. Yeah, like whipping
even he just ignored him. He just kept playing. You know,
back then, I wasn't really a big fan of The Stones.
Speaker 1 (47:13):
Back then, I wasn't either. It took me till about
eighty three before I discovered because I hadn't heard I
had only heard the radio songs by The Stones. I
hadn't heard songs that didn't really ever make the radio,
and then when I heard some of those, I was like,
holy crap, I really like the Stones.
Speaker 2 (47:32):
Yeah you've told that story. It was what was the
name of that song?
Speaker 1 (47:36):
You can't always get what you want?
Speaker 2 (47:38):
And it's about the devil?
Speaker 1 (47:41):
Yeah? Who who? I can't think of the name of
it anyway, Yeah, some of those longer.
Speaker 2 (47:55):
So they did this song too. Look at that. Can
you imagine those that group in John Belush, I bet
(48:19):
Lord Michaels pulling the hair out.
Speaker 1 (48:25):
Yeah. So according to that list, the last great one
of the seventies was the David Bowie and they showed
one of his performances on the show Sunday Night and
he was dressed in this weird, stiff costume where he
(48:45):
couldn't move his legs and it looked like he had
like a big puffy dress on and these guys had
to like carry him out to the microphone. Very very
strange costume.
Speaker 2 (48:58):
So he did this song it's called TVC fifteen. I've
never heard of it.
Speaker 1 (49:21):
He was all about performance art. He was, you know,
he was glam rock, which we talked about a couple.
Speaker 2 (49:26):
Of weeks ago, very much. So let me see what
one other song he did.
Speaker 1 (49:32):
What was it he did The Man Who Sold the World.
Speaker 2 (49:36):
Yeah, and I played the ol Ago Boys Keep Swinging.
Speaker 1 (49:42):
Yeah, and again. In the seventies they all got to
play a lot more than just two songs.
Speaker 2 (50:15):
Did I remember the songs Boys Keep Swinging? Interesting?
Speaker 1 (50:29):
Here's a few other people. I don't know if you
guys remember these. I don't remember Martha Reeves, she was
on the Chieftains. I don't remember the Chieftains. I remember
Rita Coolidge. Lily Tomlin was a musical guest.
Speaker 2 (50:46):
Yeah, I didn't know she was musical.
Speaker 1 (50:49):
I didn't either. She had an album out called twentieth
Century Masters, The Millennial Collection and the Best of Lily Tomlin.
Huh did she sing in the movie with Sylvester Stallone
Not Sylvester Stallone.
Speaker 4 (51:10):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (51:10):
John Travolta remember they did? Remember they dated?
Speaker 7 (51:15):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (51:15):
Yeah they did. They did like a serious movie together,
did that? I wonder if they had a song in
that movie?
Speaker 2 (51:21):
Shoot? I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (51:23):
Anyway, you guys, anybody out there remember when Lily Tomlin
and uh John Travolta dated. Judy Collins was a musical guest.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
I was looking she got a bunch of recordings, but probably.
Speaker 1 (52:33):
Just it was moment by moment. I wonder whose I
wonder if there was.
Speaker 2 (52:39):
A song I'm over my feet are freezing anyway?
