Stop saying meshed potato?

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Who's who's coming over? Mark who's coming over?

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Some some of my relatives, some friends, like a typical
every every Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Dinner, you know, will will there be leather, plenty of leather.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
No, no, what do I keep? I keep the leather
when I tour. Who leather jacket? Yeah, I just you
know it's a little too warm to wear it yet here,
but uh you know, I'll have my jeans and stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
You got like a Peyton Manning three quarter zip up
for Thanksgiving marking.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Uh no, that's the wall. I have my effect go
my half half effect though.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Okay, marky A are you where they could tell you
an honorary member of the Ramones and what is the
technical title? I mean, you're a Ramone for crying out loud,
longest serving drummer, the.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Lucky guy who played the drums and was asked by
the Amounts to play with them, and the only I
never asked to play with them, They asked me. So
they must have seen something that after Tommy decided to
produce and lead the band. You know, we all know
each other from cb GBS, so they used to see

(02:33):
me play with Richard Hell and the boid OIDs and
my first band. Thus so they liked my drumming, and
we went to a rehearsal and then all worked out.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Foid OIDs were huge, weren't they.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Got good band? Good band, specially in England and New York.
Nice Well.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
The Ramones were ranked the second greatest band of all
time by Spin back in two thousand and two, trailing
only the Beatles and Marky Ramones. Coming to Bearsville Theater
in Woods for Let's Creak Live Tour, will you do
some of the stuff from the new EP at the show?

Speaker 1 (03:06):
We'll see, we'll see. I did it basically for New
York City because I played the gram Steel a lot
in New York. So that's why. One of the reasons
why he did the song to do that, well, we'll see,
because I'm doing a thirty six from own classic, so
I got to find the right time. After a while,

(03:27):
it's an hour, hour and twenty minutes of playing continue,
no stops, nothing, just one, two, three, four in deep long,
I'll see, Martin.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Is the art of the two minute song lost these days?

Speaker 1 (03:41):
Definitely, That's that's the problem. So much self indulgence, so
many guitar players trying to play the same leads and
the same thing that's been going on for the last
thirty years. You know, let's face it, Eddie Van Allen
isn't alive anymore, but he's the guy that everybody tries

(04:02):
to copy stuff like that. But it's been done already.
And you know, the self indulgence two minute guitar solos
and then you have the five minute bum solos. Get
back the rock two minutes saw.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
From the ramones. What do you think about? You think
about cooking a cow chung for Thanksgiving?

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Cow talk kow chung. They used to do that when
I went to bed boys uh school, when I and
when I'm a young little kid, they used to serve
tongue meet on white bread, not toasted, and then we
had a nap on army cots. So I remember that

(04:44):
and it wasn't too good.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Tongue on white bread, and what he came out punk?
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (04:56):
I mean, you know, the thing is that I know
a lot of people like it. That memory just turns
me off. But I like corn, beef, I like beef, jerky,
I like boy, I like uh roast beef, A lot
of things.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Still to me, that's that's fine.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Yeah, I mean, every time I look at it, Tom
like it brings back I love it though.
