Tim seen a little bit of it. It's very lengthy

and very highly acclaimed by many people so far. I
got some shows coming up in the next month or so.
Busy time for me going to shows Wilco played recently,
and I know so many enthusiastic will Co fans who
were very happy to have a two set no opener
show at the Midland recently. I get to experience and
(01:37):
dive down a little bit a hole of Frank Zappa,
which I really have never done and just wanted to
experiment for a few minutes, and I liked it quite
a bit. Record labels are doing some videos of old
music that was never videoed or never had the video
treatment in the past, and it's getting some traction. We'll
visit on a couple of passings in the world of music,
(01:58):
such as Bobby Whitlow, who was from Derek and the
Dominoes and a very influential musician, and Tim will have
a Get Off My Lawns segment about treatment of Paul

(05:29):
know if the Kaufman Center for the Performing Arts is
the proper forum for the Happy Together tour this Friday,
but I bought tickets on a whim to this a
long time ago, about eight months ago, and here it
will come. It's a summer staple these days with the
musical acts from the sixties, most of whom do not
include original members. But I'm gonna give it a spin anyway.
(05:52):
I've seen some videos of it. Looks pretty good. Some
of the replacements are good or at least some connection
to it. There's one Turtle out of two. There's three
cow Sills out of six. There's no Vogues left. There's
no Jay from Jay and the Americans, but there's a
good singer and Gary Puckett in the Union Gap. I
think Gary's still kicking around anyway. That's how I'm going
(06:13):
to experience things this Friday. Also have Marty Stewart next
month and thirty eight special, but Happy Together to her
you just have to investigate and decide to you know,
put down your fifty bucks and see what you're going
to get.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
Tim Well, I would pushpect a little that given the
demographic that's probably going to show up, the coffee center
is probably the best place for it. The seats are
very comfortable.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah, yes, but all those.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
All those actually you mentioned, I heard or listened to
or bought their records. I love the Turtles growing up.
They're very good, so many and they were they turned
into flowing Eddie and I guess that. Yeah, and the Cowsles.
My brother got that for Christmas one year and we
just totally destroyed it by playing it too much. And
(07:05):
and if you want to, you want to watch a
documentary that will end up disturbing you. Watch what happened
to that family? It was right, It's it's dark and tragic.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
But amazing that three of them are still getting along
well enough, you know, to tour.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
Yeah, well, I mean I think the father's dead the start.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Yes, so there's that.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
But I just think, you know, because I have songs
in my in my loop that come from that era.
When I hear like Spanky in Our Gang or Young Rascals,
and I think of the turtlesen and just how the
whole songwriting was the world was, and how you had
to be you had to be someone who could write
a two and a half minute pop song and make
(07:48):
it entertaining because or it's just going to get ignored
or overwhelmed. So and they are definitely among that. So
I'm just I mean, I guess it has to be
this kind of enterprise because I don't know if there
are young cover bands out there who want to do that,
right are back? Yeah, right, So I think it's a
way too, you know, like I will probably enjoy that show.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Yeah, well see, and I will talk about it the
next time around and see how it went and what
was good and what was not so good. Hey, they
only have to get out there and do a few songs,
three or four songs, so they will have the energy
to do that. And the lead singer of the Turtles
it will go out there. I know that, and he's
still around, so that's good. And the vogue at five
o'clock world, I'll watch you know you and me sing
(08:33):
that song. So I like that song a lot, So
that's cool. Well, certainly, somebody who's a greater purveyor of
good music to some, to many, to millions, not so
much to other people like my wife is one Billy Joel.
Obviously the last calendar year for him has been a
roller coaster. It looked like he was making a bit
of a comeback and getting in better health, and now
that's not the case as well. And part of this
(08:56):
whole process was the documentary that was come out and
then called and so it goes, and maybe it's even
more telling now as a reflection on his life and
times and maybe a chance for people to explore his
earlier music, which is his favorite, my favorite of his music.
I said it to you before we started. I texted
a friend the other day and send him a song
(09:18):
from the album Piano Man, and I said, by the way,
there's ten songs on Piano Man, and Piano Man itself
is the eighth best song. That's my opinion. But anyway,
you started to watch the documentary and a lot of
people have said good things about it. I'm going to
have to find some creative way to watch it.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
Yeah, it's five hours, so each episode is, you know,
two and a half hours. I got about almost ninety
minutes through the first one, which seemed to me because
I've read reviews of it and they're all really supportive.
And I have friends in this town who are filmmakers,
(09:58):
who were talking about how great the filmmaking was and
the story was and how it was orchestrated. But also
at least at least one of them, but I think
both of them are music fans, and one of them,
friend Joe, is like, I just kind of dismissed the Leejoy.
I mean, I knew he had some songs I like,
but wow, he's got more good songs than I realized.
(10:19):
And I think that comes up. But the first part
is heavily focused on the start of his career, the
first wife, who was married to the longest, and who
was his manager, and who really was the one who
got him together and got his career, you know, off
the runway and into you know, into a cent and
he's you know, he it was that didn't work. I
(10:43):
guess you know, well.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
All you have to do is listen to Big Shot
and you'll figure out what was going on at the
end of that marriage.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Yes, it was. Yeah, he took it. He took a
definite swerve and he got insanely popular. I mean the
Stranger was when it was my freshman year and it
was on and like two out of three dorm rooms
all the time. So it's a great record. I think
it's one of the perfect start to finish records, so
(11:12):
so I plan on finishing it. But yeah, it's been.
Speaker 7 (11:17):
There.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
It's you know, there's been a like a cloud over
it's because of the condition he's in and he's probably
done touring and we're seeing too much of that now.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, we are, indeed and something. So I'm looking forward
to to consuming that in some way, shape or form.
I got a couple of flights coming up and my
wife's not on them, so maybe i'll be due watching.
That might be a perfect time time for it. But
people are always trying, you know, in this day and age,
it's it's difficult to make money in the music industry
(11:49):
for various reasons, for the artists, for you know, anybody
except for the very tip top of the corporations and
some record labels. You read an article in the Times
about how they're taking sort of vintage or rather unknown
songs from back in the day and putting videos or
maybe some well known songs that didn't have videos associated
(12:10):
with them, and they're getting a lot of traction.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
Yeah, so the title of the article was the song
was a hit twenty years ago, it just got a video,
and the name of the band is called Clap your
Hands Say Yeah, which is you know, I'd give you
an idea who the band was. They run a small
indie label. I think it was a Matador. Their music
was very sort of do it yourself. It was rough,
(12:34):
it was melodic, it was creative. The lead singer sounded
like he was in pain all the time. It was
you really have to like the voice. But just the
songs are so quirky and rhythmic, and it was easy
to fall into them. I went to see them at
the Bottleneck and Lawrence it was it was fine, it
was entertaining, but after like sixty minutes, I'm like, all right,
(12:54):
I think I'm done with this. But that was in
two thousand and five. I think, so this record is
twenty years old. I bought the second record, and my
reaction to it was when I wrote about it was
it's kind of like clap your hands and say hmmm,
because it was it was like the novelty had worn
off for me, like how many times can you do this?
(13:15):
So but that first record had a lot of traction.
It was a hit on some charts, radio charts anyway
went away, and then the label is like figuring out
ways to make money. And they remembered that the band
refused to do a video back then, like well, we're
going to do on now, and so they summoned the
director and they got the treatment. In any way, the
(13:35):
band was behind it because like, hey, we're not making
money off that music anymore. Let's let's see what we
can get. Yeah, and they put it out there. They've
got so many platforms now music platforms that it can
go out on. And yes, it's getting traction, like many
hundreds of thousands, and it's kids and they're late teens
and in the early twenties who are discovering it. And
(13:57):
I mean, it just seems like it's an obvious thing
now because that's who they were appealing to when they
became popular in two thousand and five. It's just sort
of innate to that, to that demographic, Like it doesn't
sound like anything on the radio. So but then is
also it also talked about how the Tucking Heads Psycho Killer,
which is off their first record seventy seven, got a Yeah,
(14:21):
they made a video of it and that's gotten like
across the planet, like you know, six million visits or whatever.
So it's another way for labels to to repurpose songs
and make money off of work that's already been done.
So it's a thing, and like I mentioned before, but
it also means we only have so many hours in
(14:43):
a day and so many platforms, and when old music
creeps in, it sort of takes over or eclipses new music.
So that's just something you know, new bands are gonna
have to do with again.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
They are, indeed, and I can't imagine that there won't
be a few videos associated with the rerun release of
the album Buckingham Knicks, which just proceeded really by a
couple of years, Buckingham and Nicks joining Fleetwood Mac. It's
a good record. I haven't heard it in a while,
and it's hard to imagine that they would make a
bad record together. And it had a lot of very
(15:16):
influential musicians on it and such, and I can't imagine
it's not going to get not going to get some
traction fifty years down the road.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
Right it had I'm pretty sure that had Landslide on it,
and maybe another song that made it to the first
Sleet of Mac record or another record. But yeah, I
bought that record it's got a really sexy picture on
the front of a tople of Stevie Nicks who's covered
by the shoulders of Linday Buckingham. But it just showed you,
(15:49):
like what the appeal was for Fleetwood Mac, like, well,
this dashing, sexy couple and the writing good songs and
this British blues band that was sort of lost because
Bob Welsh left and you know, didn't really know where
it was going. And of course what happened was they
put out the Fleetwood Mac record which is celebrating its
fiftieth anniversary, and there's a great story in the Times
(16:12):
about that too. But yeah, that was like one of
the most i don't know, prolific or explodesive pivots that
a band that's ever done. They became way more than
what they had been.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
You know before they wait, and way different what they
had than what they had been.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
Completely. Yeah, in those first three records they were so
different from each other, Fleetwood Mac, Rumors and Tusk and yeah,
they you know, became a stadium band almost in a minute.
So it's an interesting tale like that, and that that
Rumor's album was just you know, it was the biggest
(16:52):
seller for a long time.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
M hm, absolutely the case, so that should be interesting
and by the way, for the ladies as it were,
or whoever's interested. Lindsey Buckingham also has no clothes on,
although he's only breath No, he's only shown from the
chest up so anyway, glorious hair for both of them.
On the cover of this particular album, well, tales we
(17:16):
tell and tales will continue to tell. Coming up after
this says it's Arts and Lifestyle Wednesday, presented by a

Speaker 3 (20:17):
Here?
Speaker 2 (20:17):
TIM i like this little rant you went on before
we started recording about a. Remix we've been talking about
a lot of, remixes, reconfigurations repurposements of. Music and some
artists that WE i guess are going to remain nameless
has done a mashup Of cecilia The Great Paul simon's
(20:38):
song and you were not.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
Impressed, No i'm gonna name Her, okay, Good i'm gonna
shame her.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
Now her name Is Priscilla. Block and it showed up
somewhere in my in my, scroll AND i saw that
it was the name of the song That you're breaking
my heart Parentheses, cecilia AND i, thought, wait what are you?
Doing SO i listened to it and it Is it's
(21:07):
just it's like they did everything wrong with the. SONG
i love that, SONG i love that. Record it's an. Abomination,
sorry but it's what she's done is completely rewritten the
lyrics she, uses the. Chorus you know that we all,
know but instead of in the, song you, know there's
(21:27):
a guy with his girlfriend or his, WIFE i don't,
know you, know dre in. Bed he gets up to
go to the bathroom wash his, face.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
And then someone's taking his.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
Place, yeah which which WHICH i. LEARNED i guess he
was On Dick habot and he, said why did you
get up to wash your face after having? Sex and he,
goes oh it was it was the, SIXTIES i don't
remember so so but so it was just a really
kind of jaunty it. Was it was a farce of a,
lyrically you, know but it was. Them it was first.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Of, all it looked like a playful original song that
just they probably were sitting in the studio and knocked it.
OFF i mean it sounds like to, me you, know
it was they had great musicians on, it so our
great musicians were, there so, Right, well.
Speaker 6 (22:15):
It was just LIKE i Heard Paul salmon say, once you,
know sometimes you just write a song because people like
to sing along to a, melody and you, know everything
doesn't have to have meaning. Lyrically so this was kind
of one of. Those it. Was it, was you, know
kind of, farcical but it WAS i love the, song
but the REASON i do is the production was their
guys hitting empty guitar cases and now playing just playing.
(22:37):
Drums there's ANOTHER i, mean it was Just Roy holley
was a mastermind of a musician an. Engineer so so
that's why that song is so great to. Me it's
it's it always reaches. Me but this was just SO
ai auto. Tuned the production is just it's just so,
(22:57):
nothing and these lyrics are just. Insipid it's about she
turns it into A Joe lene, song like she's the
one who's afraid her man's gonna leave. Her and but
it's just you, know BECAUSE i was heard it at,
First i'm, like, oh this sounds very country and she's
twangy but, Right and ONCE i started reading, LYRICS i
JUST i just hated. IT i was, like this is.
Speaker 7 (23:20):
WELL i was LIKE i wanted to, scream, like So
Paul simon doesn't need the, money let's say.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Right, Right, well it's so glad that that you get
to get that off your. Chest and you were mentioning
great production values AND i was listening to The greater
The Bakersfield beat channel and Whenever Dwight yoakam appears and
speaks or he has an occasional interview show on. There
mostly it's A bakersfield type music and you, know two
(23:49):
thirds of THAT i don't necessarily like that, much but
there's some real gems. There, anyway he did a in
twenty twenty, two he did a two parts you, know
law long interview With Peter, asher who of course started
off As peter And, gordon but then went on to
become an incredible Producer Linda, Ronstadt James, taylor on and
on at a fascinating. Conversation you can find it on your serious.
(24:12):
App it's really worth it Because Dwight yoakum can turn
any interview into some circular exploration of his, mind which
is an active. One And Peter asher is an incredible.
STORY i mean it was a Huge he was a child.
Actor He Claude Ed colbert played his mom and one
of his first. Movies and then he became a great pop,
star AND i think he realized, that you, Know i'm
(24:34):
not a pop, star look at, me you, know and
you KNOW i have good, songs but. Whatever and then
he had a great musical ear and liked that aspect
of it and produced many of the greatest artists in the,
world and he was involved With Abbey Road studios and
on and. On it's a magnificent conversation and also allowed
me to explore some more Fantastic Linda ronstadt, singing which
(24:54):
we've talked about many. Times But Peter asher is just
kind of a cool. Thing it reminds me a little.
Bit his story reminds me Of Ron, howard somebody WHO
i think was had the self awareness to, realize you,
KNOW i was like fantastic child actor In Ron howard's,
case and Now i'm going to be a bald man
of twenty three years, Old let's find out something else to.
(25:15):
Do when he became one of the great directors of his.
Generation so it's kind of that's kind of.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
Story, yeah it's also parallels Like Ti vo And, burnette
who put out some studio. RECORDS i didn't get lots of,
traction but he became well, known you, know as a
as a producer and as a backup. Musician my son
was our plant And Alison. Krause he was a nutman
(25:40):
and he used Raising sand. Records but also this is
a coincidence BECAUSE i started he was married to a
woman Named Sam, phillips so not The elvis, guy but, right,
yes good, records and the first record is the Indescribable.
Wow if you love pop, music it sounds like this
fusion of The bengals and The Go, gos and the
(26:04):
songwriting is just. Spectacular it's so poppy and. Invented my
WIFE i played it for her and she had heard
it for the first. Time she's, like probably not heard of. This,
well it was like you were ten years old when
it came, out but it's Uh. So he was one
of my first introductions to, him but then regularly AND
i got to interview him for one of something he was.
(26:24):
Doing maybe it was The Raising shan, tour but he's
it was kind of the same. Track he's, like my
music writing isn't isn't as exceptional as my as my
production and studio. Work so he he's made his name
bigger than him as it.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Says that maybe there's a little theme to this as,
well Because Peter asher now actually who was In peter
And gordon now actually tours occasionally With chad From chad
And jeremy Or, JEREMY i can't, know It's. Jeremy he
tried these tours With jeremy and they Play peter And,
gordon's they Play chad And jeremy song. Song, yeah they
(27:04):
did great pop songs on the other side of the.
Spectrum is somebody always worth talking about in some regard
and probably in my musical, worldderappreciated. UNDERVISITED i went to
the many times aforementioned listening room on a Recent saturday
and they had the open spin AND i was listening
to some of the RECORDS i brought and you can
have them. Fixed i've done this many. Times you should
(27:25):
go there and it's. Fantastic but now they're doing a
feature album at four o'clock and they really just do
a short introduction then just play the album and it's.
Full and the album Was Frank Zappa's Hot, rats AND
i have absolutely No i'm not a fan Of Frank,
zappa AND i didn't know enough About Frank. ZAPPA i
know of, him so who doesn't know Of Frank zappa
(27:48):
and Weasels zappa And Moon. Zappa but This Hot rats
was and it is the album that has Watch out
where The Huskies, Go Don't You eat The Yellow? Snow
but that is the only song with any lyrics on.
It the rest of us all, instrumental AND i listened
to one side of. IT i, Said i'm going to
stay for one little, tune AND i stayed for the whole.
Thing it's fabulous guitar. Playing there's many famous musicians on,
(28:10):
it and late gave me a little rabbit hole Of
Frank zappa to go, down who was an incredibly prolific
and odd person in many many. Ways he died at
age fifty. Two he made sixty two albums in his,
Career and just to give you Another Frank, zappa one
of the songs on this was an instrumental, song a
BEAUTIFUL hamm AND b three organ and a lot of
(28:31):
guitar and. Everything it was a cool. Song it was
nine minutes long and it was called The son of
Mister Green. Jeans So Frank zappa is one of a,
kind that's for. Sure or was one of a.
Speaker 6 (28:42):
Kind, YEAH i was introduced to him through. Friends The
husky song was was the first big, one but it
was the seventy three he released an album Called Overnight,
sensation and it was the very salacious song Called, dynamhome
which is you, know probably he probably sit for radio.
(29:05):
Now it was SAFER Fm radio back. Then BUT i
was just looking this. Up and when he released, this
he was thirty three and this was his seventeenth, Album
like what are you? Doing but there's a documentary out
there about him and his. Genius it almost impaired him
because he had brilliant people around him who eventually kind
(29:29):
of found him intolerable because he had a vision that
he that was you, know he had that was his
and only. His but he brought in great. People he
was also not the best. Husband there's a. Documentary if
you don't know anything about, him it's a it's a
perfect introduction to, him and you get a pretty panoramic
(29:53):
view of who he was and what he.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Did and, well he fired the mothers of invention right
when they became, famous you, know like bye. Bye you
know they weren't, texting but like by, letter you guys
couldn't believe.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
It well and also he, was you, know savagely critical
of The. Beatles he hated The, beatles but he just
he didn't want to do anything that was. Commercial he
wanted you to work to, like WHICH i can. Respect but,
MAN i can't listen to him. Much where's the.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
SONG i CAN i can recommend twenty five minutes of
instrumental brilliance From Hot. RATS i will just say, that.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
And, well there's a there's a great. Video it's pretty
well now he And Mike Nest smith playing each, other,
right look it.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Up it's.
Speaker 6 (30:41):
Hilarious Mike mike Mes. SMITH i, mean you wouldn't put
those two.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Together, yeah and they both had, yeah their Own Mike
nessmith didn't want really eventually didn't want to be a
monkey or it didn't want to be known as a.
Monkey SO i guess, that's, uh that's the sort of
fits for that and a show THAT i really had
gotten excited. About and THEN i went to look up
what the date was AND i, Realized i'm going to
be out of. Town Is Howard jones is playing The
(31:05):
uptown On september, Thirteenth AND i had recently gone down
Some Robert Howard jones rabbit, holes AND i think he's
a very underappreciated. Musician i've talked to several people SINCE
i DISCOVERED i can't go who have seen him multiple
times and say he's really. Great so just giving a
little heads up for anybody who wants to explore a
Little Howard jones very, esoteric jazzy. POPPY i Think Howard
(31:30):
jones is as. COOL i like.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
Him what was this big? SONG i can't think of it.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
He, Had he had four or five rather Big there
was the one that goes oh that one.
Speaker 6 (31:42):
Right he was a lot one of Those british band
musicians that really blew up ON. Mtv he took advantage OF.
Mtv but, YEAH i can't think of that. Song it's
like she wants, you she wants.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
You, yeah no one's to, Blame no one's to.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
Blame, yeah yeh, yeah yeah that was a good.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Song, yeah very good. Song he put out some and
if you want to find a cool, video there's a he.
Does did a twenty fifth anniversary CONCERT i think it
was about ten years, ago and he calls up on
Stage Nick, kershaw who had was a one hit wonder

treatment in the past, and it's getting some traction. We'll

(05:29):
know if the Kaufman Center for the Performing Arts is
the proper forum for the Happy Together tour this Friday,
but I bought tickets on a whim to this a
long time ago, about eight months ago, and here it
will come. It's a summer staple these days with the
musical acts from the sixties, most of whom do not
include original members. But I'm gonna give it a spin anyway.
(05:52):
I've seen some videos of it. Looks pretty good. Some
of the replacements are good or at least some connection
to it. There's one Turtle out of two. There's three
cow Sills out of six. There's no Vogues left. There's
no Jay from Jay and the Americans, but there's a
good singer and Gary Puckett in the Union Gap. I
think Gary's still kicking around anyway. That's how I'm going
(06:13):
to experience things this Friday. Also have Marty Stewart next
month and thirty eight special, but Happy Together to her
you just have to investigate and decide to you know,
put down your fifty bucks and see what you're going
to get.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
Tim Well, I would pushpect a little that given the
demographic that's probably going to show up, the coffee center
is probably the best place for it. The seats are
very comfortable.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah, yes, but all those.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
All those actually you mentioned, I heard or listened to
or bought their records. I love the Turtles growing up.
They're very good, so many and they were they turned
into flowing Eddie and I guess that. Yeah, and the Cowsles.
My brother got that for Christmas one year and we
just totally destroyed it by playing it too much. And
(07:05):
and if you want to, you want to watch a
documentary that will end up disturbing you. Watch what happened
to that family? It was right, It's it's dark and tragic.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
But amazing that three of them are still getting along
well enough, you know, to tour.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
Yeah, well, I mean I think the father's dead the start.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Yes, so there's that.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
But I just think, you know, because I have songs
in my in my loop that come from that era.
When I hear like Spanky in Our Gang or Young Rascals,
and I think of the turtlesen and just how the
whole songwriting was the world was, and how you had
to be you had to be someone who could write
a two and a half minute pop song and make
(07:48):
it entertaining because or it's just going to get ignored
or overwhelmed. So and they are definitely among that. So
I'm just I mean, I guess it has to be
this kind of enterprise because I don't know if there
are young cover bands out there who want to do that,
right are back? Yeah, right, So I think it's a
way too, you know, like I will probably enjoy that show.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Yeah, well see, and I will talk about it the
next time around and see how it went and what
was good and what was not so good. Hey, they
only have to get out there and do a few songs,
three or four songs, so they will have the energy
to do that. And the lead singer of the Turtles
it will go out there. I know that, and he's
still around, so that's good. And the vogue at five
o'clock world, I'll watch you know you and me sing
(08:33):
that song. So I like that song a lot, So
that's cool. Well, certainly, somebody who's a greater purveyor of
good music to some, to many, to millions, not so
much to other people like my wife is one Billy Joel.
Obviously the last calendar year for him has been a
roller coaster. It looked like he was making a bit
of a comeback and getting in better health, and now
that's not the case as well. And part of this
(08:56):
whole process was the documentary that was come out and
then called and so it goes, and maybe it's even
more telling now as a reflection on his life and
times and maybe a chance for people to explore his
earlier music, which is his favorite, my favorite of his music.
I said it to you before we started. I texted
a friend the other day and send him a song
(09:18):
from the album Piano Man, and I said, by the way,
there's ten songs on Piano Man, and Piano Man itself
is the eighth best song. That's my opinion. But anyway,
you started to watch the documentary and a lot of
people have said good things about it. I'm going to
have to find some creative way to watch it.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
Yeah, it's five hours, so each episode is, you know,
two and a half hours. I got about almost ninety
minutes through the first one, which seemed to me because
I've read reviews of it and they're all really supportive.
And I have friends in this town who are filmmakers,
(09:58):
who were talking about how great the filmmaking was and
the story was and how it was orchestrated. But also
at least at least one of them, but I think
both of them are music fans, and one of them,
friend Joe, is like, I just kind of dismissed the Leejoy.
I mean, I knew he had some songs I like,
but wow, he's got more good songs than I realized.
(10:19):
And I think that comes up. But the first part
is heavily focused on the start of his career, the
first wife, who was married to the longest, and who
was his manager, and who really was the one who
got him together and got his career, you know, off
the runway and into you know, into a cent and
he's you know, he it was that didn't work. I
(10:43):
guess you know, well.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
All you have to do is listen to Big Shot
and you'll figure out what was going on at the
end of that marriage.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Yes, it was. Yeah, he took it. He took a
definite swerve and he got insanely popular. I mean the
Stranger was when it was my freshman year and it
was on and like two out of three dorm rooms
all the time. So it's a great record. I think
it's one of the perfect start to finish records, so
(11:12):
so I plan on finishing it. But yeah, it's been.
Speaker 7 (11:17):
There.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
It's you know, there's been a like a cloud over
it's because of the condition he's in and he's probably
done touring and we're seeing too much of that now.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, we are, indeed and something. So I'm looking forward
to to consuming that in some way, shape or form.
I got a couple of flights coming up and my
wife's not on them, so maybe i'll be due watching.
That might be a perfect time time for it. But
people are always trying, you know, in this day and age,
it's it's difficult to make money in the music industry
(11:49):
for various reasons, for the artists, for you know, anybody
except for the very tip top of the corporations and
some record labels. You read an article in the Times
about how they're taking sort of vintage or rather unknown
songs from back in the day and putting videos or
maybe some well known songs that didn't have videos associated
(12:10):
with them, and they're getting a lot of traction.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
Yeah, so the title of the article was the song
was a hit twenty years ago, it just got a video,
and the name of the band is called Clap your
Hands Say Yeah, which is you know, I'd give you
an idea who the band was. They run a small
indie label. I think it was a Matador. Their music
was very sort of do it yourself. It was rough,
(12:34):
it was melodic, it was creative. The lead singer sounded
like he was in pain all the time. It was
you really have to like the voice. But just the
songs are so quirky and rhythmic, and it was easy
to fall into them. I went to see them at
the Bottleneck and Lawrence it was it was fine, it
was entertaining, but after like sixty minutes, I'm like, all right,
(12:54):
I think I'm done with this. But that was in
two thousand and five. I think, so this record is
twenty years old. I bought the second record, and my
reaction to it was when I wrote about it was
it's kind of like clap your hands and say hmmm,
because it was it was like the novelty had worn
off for me, like how many times can you do this?
(13:15):
So but that first record had a lot of traction.
It was a hit on some charts, radio charts anyway
went away, and then the label is like figuring out
ways to make money. And they remembered that the band
refused to do a video back then, like well, we're
going to do on now, and so they summoned the
director and they got the treatment. In any way, the
(13:35):
band was behind it because like, hey, we're not making
money off that music anymore. Let's let's see what we
can get. Yeah, and they put it out there. They've
got so many platforms now music platforms that it can
go out on. And yes, it's getting traction, like many
hundreds of thousands, and it's kids and they're late teens
and in the early twenties who are discovering it. And
(13:57):
I mean, it just seems like it's an obvious thing
now because that's who they were appealing to when they
became popular in two thousand and five. It's just sort
of innate to that, to that demographic, Like it doesn't
sound like anything on the radio. So but then is
also it also talked about how the Tucking Heads Psycho Killer,
which is off their first record seventy seven, got a Yeah,
(14:21):
they made a video of it and that's gotten like
across the planet, like you know, six million visits or whatever.
So it's another way for labels to to repurpose songs
and make money off of work that's already been done.
So it's a thing, and like I mentioned before, but
it also means we only have so many hours in
(14:43):
a day and so many platforms, and when old music
creeps in, it sort of takes over or eclipses new music.
So that's just something you know, new bands are gonna
have to do with again.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
They are, indeed, and I can't imagine that there won't
be a few videos associated with the rerun release of
the album Buckingham Knicks, which just proceeded really by a
couple of years, Buckingham and Nicks joining Fleetwood Mac. It's
a good record. I haven't heard it in a while,
and it's hard to imagine that they would make a
bad record together. And it had a lot of very
(15:16):
influential musicians on it and such, and I can't imagine
it's not going to get not going to get some
traction fifty years down the road.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
Right it had I'm pretty sure that had Landslide on it,
and maybe another song that made it to the first
Sleet of Mac record or another record. But yeah, I
bought that record it's got a really sexy picture on
the front of a tople of Stevie Nicks who's covered
by the shoulders of Linday Buckingham. But it just showed you,
(15:49):
like what the appeal was for Fleetwood Mac, like, well,
this dashing, sexy couple and the writing good songs and
this British blues band that was sort of lost because
Bob Welsh left and you know, didn't really know where
it was going. And of course what happened was they
put out the Fleetwood Mac record which is celebrating its
fiftieth anniversary, and there's a great story in the Times
(16:12):
about that too. But yeah, that was like one of
the most i don't know, prolific or explodesive pivots that
a band that's ever done. They became way more than
what they had been.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
You know before they wait, and way different what they
had than what they had been.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
Completely. Yeah, in those first three records they were so
different from each other, Fleetwood Mac, Rumors and Tusk and yeah,
they you know, became a stadium band almost in a minute.
So it's an interesting tale like that, and that that
Rumor's album was just you know, it was the biggest
(16:52):
seller for a long time.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
M hm, absolutely the case, so that should be interesting
and by the way, for the ladies as it were,
or whoever's interested. Lindsey Buckingham also has no clothes on,
although he's only breath No, he's only shown from the
chest up so anyway, glorious hair for both of them.
On the cover of this particular album, well, tales we
(17:16):
tell and tales will continue to tell. Coming up after
this says it's Arts and Lifestyle Wednesday, presented by a

Speaker 2 (20:09):
You welcome, back because we like to you, know maybe
chwice the end end. On someone went of a lighter.
Note why don't we get the angry part out of?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Here?
Speaker 2 (20:17):
TIM i like this little rant you went on before
we started recording about a. Remix we've been talking about
a lot of, remixes, reconfigurations repurposements of. Music and some
artists that WE i guess are going to remain nameless
has done a mashup Of cecilia The Great Paul simon's
(20:38):
song and you were not.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
Impressed, No i'm gonna name Her, okay, Good i'm gonna
shame her.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
Now her name Is Priscilla. Block and it showed up
somewhere in my in my, scroll AND i saw that
it was the name of the song That you're breaking
my heart Parentheses, cecilia AND i, thought, wait what are you?
Doing SO i listened to it and it Is it's
(21:07):
just it's like they did everything wrong with the. SONG
i love that, SONG i love that. Record it's an. Abomination,
sorry but it's what she's done is completely rewritten the
lyrics she, uses the. Chorus you know that we all,
know but instead of in the, song you, know there's
(21:27):
a guy with his girlfriend or his, WIFE i don't,
know you, know dre in. Bed he gets up to
go to the bathroom wash his, face.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
And then someone's taking his.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
Place, yeah which which WHICH i. LEARNED i guess he
was On Dick habot and he, said why did you
get up to wash your face after having? Sex and he,
goes oh it was it was the, SIXTIES i don't
remember so so but so it was just a really
kind of jaunty it. Was it was a farce of a,
lyrically you, know but it was. Them it was first.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Of, all it looked like a playful original song that
just they probably were sitting in the studio and knocked it.
OFF i mean it sounds like to, me you, know
it was they had great musicians on, it so our
great musicians were, there so, Right, well.
Speaker 6 (22:15):
It was just LIKE i Heard Paul salmon say, once you,
know sometimes you just write a song because people like
to sing along to a, melody and you, know everything
doesn't have to have meaning. Lyrically so this was kind
of one of. Those it. Was it, was you, know
kind of, farcical but it WAS i love the, song
but the REASON i do is the production was their
guys hitting empty guitar cases and now playing just playing.
(22:37):
Drums there's ANOTHER i, mean it was Just Roy holley
was a mastermind of a musician an. Engineer so so
that's why that song is so great to. Me it's
it's it always reaches. Me but this was just SO
ai auto. Tuned the production is just it's just so,
(22:57):
nothing and these lyrics are just. Insipid it's about she
turns it into A Joe lene, song like she's the
one who's afraid her man's gonna leave. Her and but
it's just you, know BECAUSE i was heard it at,
First i'm, like, oh this sounds very country and she's
twangy but, Right and ONCE i started reading, LYRICS i
JUST i just hated. IT i was, like this is.
Speaker 7 (23:20):
WELL i was LIKE i wanted to, scream, like So
Paul simon doesn't need the, money let's say.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Right, Right, well it's so glad that that you get
to get that off your. Chest and you were mentioning
great production values AND i was listening to The greater
The Bakersfield beat channel and Whenever Dwight yoakam appears and
speaks or he has an occasional interview show on. There
mostly it's A bakersfield type music and you, know two
(23:49):
thirds of THAT i don't necessarily like that, much but
there's some real gems. There, anyway he did a in
twenty twenty, two he did a two parts you, know
law long interview With Peter, asher who of course started
off As peter And, gordon but then went on to
become an incredible Producer Linda, Ronstadt James, taylor on and
on at a fascinating. Conversation you can find it on your serious.
(24:12):
App it's really worth it Because Dwight yoakum can turn
any interview into some circular exploration of his, mind which
is an active. One And Peter asher is an incredible.
STORY i mean it was a Huge he was a child.
Actor He Claude Ed colbert played his mom and one
of his first. Movies and then he became a great pop,
star AND i think he realized, that you, Know i'm
(24:34):
not a pop, star look at, me you, know and
you KNOW i have good, songs but. Whatever and then
he had a great musical ear and liked that aspect
of it and produced many of the greatest artists in the,
world and he was involved With Abbey Road studios and
on and. On it's a magnificent conversation and also allowed
me to explore some more Fantastic Linda ronstadt, singing which
(24:54):
we've talked about many. Times But Peter asher is just
kind of a cool. Thing it reminds me a little.
Bit his story reminds me Of Ron, howard somebody WHO
i think was had the self awareness to, realize you,
KNOW i was like fantastic child actor In Ron howard's,
case and Now i'm going to be a bald man
of twenty three years, Old let's find out something else to.
(25:15):
Do when he became one of the great directors of his.
Generation so it's kind of that's kind of.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
Story, yeah it's also parallels Like Ti vo And, burnette
who put out some studio. RECORDS i didn't get lots of,
traction but he became well, known you, know as a
as a producer and as a backup. Musician my son
was our plant And Alison. Krause he was a nutman
(25:40):
and he used Raising sand. Records but also this is
a coincidence BECAUSE i started he was married to a
woman Named Sam, phillips so not The elvis, guy but, right,
yes good, records and the first record is the Indescribable.
Wow if you love pop, music it sounds like this
fusion of The bengals and The Go, gos and the
(26:04):
songwriting is just. Spectacular it's so poppy and. Invented my
WIFE i played it for her and she had heard
it for the first. Time she's, like probably not heard of. This,
well it was like you were ten years old when
it came, out but it's Uh. So he was one
of my first introductions to, him but then regularly AND
i got to interview him for one of something he was.
(26:24):
Doing maybe it was The Raising shan, tour but he's
it was kind of the same. Track he's, like my
music writing isn't isn't as exceptional as my as my
production and studio. Work so he he's made his name
bigger than him as it.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Says that maybe there's a little theme to this as,
well Because Peter asher now actually who was In peter
And gordon now actually tours occasionally With chad From chad
And jeremy Or, JEREMY i can't, know It's. Jeremy he
tried these tours With jeremy and they Play peter And,
gordon's they Play chad And jeremy song. Song, yeah they
(27:04):
did great pop songs on the other side of the.
Spectrum is somebody always worth talking about in some regard
and probably in my musical, worldderappreciated. UNDERVISITED i went to
the many times aforementioned listening room on a Recent saturday
and they had the open spin AND i was listening
to some of the RECORDS i brought and you can
have them. Fixed i've done this many. Times you should
(27:25):
go there and it's. Fantastic but now they're doing a
feature album at four o'clock and they really just do
a short introduction then just play the album and it's.
Full and the album Was Frank Zappa's Hot, rats AND
i have absolutely No i'm not a fan Of Frank,
zappa AND i didn't know enough About Frank. ZAPPA i
know of, him so who doesn't know Of Frank zappa
(27:48):
and Weasels zappa And Moon. Zappa but This Hot rats
was and it is the album that has Watch out
where The Huskies, Go Don't You eat The Yellow? Snow
but that is the only song with any lyrics on.
It the rest of us all, instrumental AND i listened
to one side of. IT i, Said i'm going to
stay for one little, tune AND i stayed for the whole.
Thing it's fabulous guitar. Playing there's many famous musicians on,
(28:10):
it and late gave me a little rabbit hole Of
Frank zappa to go, down who was an incredibly prolific
and odd person in many many. Ways he died at
age fifty. Two he made sixty two albums in his,
Career and just to give you Another Frank, zappa one
of the songs on this was an instrumental, song a
BEAUTIFUL hamm AND b three organ and a lot of
(28:31):
guitar and. Everything it was a cool. Song it was
nine minutes long and it was called The son of
Mister Green. Jeans So Frank zappa is one of a,
kind that's for. Sure or was one of a.
Speaker 6 (28:42):
Kind, YEAH i was introduced to him through. Friends The
husky song was was the first big, one but it
was the seventy three he released an album Called Overnight,
sensation and it was the very salacious song Called, dynamhome
which is you, know probably he probably sit for radio.
(29:05):
Now it was SAFER Fm radio back. Then BUT i
was just looking this. Up and when he released, this
he was thirty three and this was his seventeenth, Album
like what are you? Doing but there's a documentary out
there about him and his. Genius it almost impaired him
because he had brilliant people around him who eventually kind
(29:29):
of found him intolerable because he had a vision that
he that was you, know he had that was his
and only. His but he brought in great. People he
was also not the best. Husband there's a. Documentary if
you don't know anything about, him it's a it's a
perfect introduction to, him and you get a pretty panoramic
(29:53):
view of who he was and what he.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Did and, well he fired the mothers of invention right
when they became, famous you, know like bye. Bye you
know they weren't, texting but like by, letter you guys
couldn't believe.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
It well and also he, was you, know savagely critical
of The. Beatles he hated The, beatles but he just
he didn't want to do anything that was. Commercial he
wanted you to work to, like WHICH i can. Respect but,
MAN i can't listen to him. Much where's the.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
SONG i CAN i can recommend twenty five minutes of
instrumental brilliance From Hot. RATS i will just say, that.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
And, well there's a there's a great. Video it's pretty
well now he And Mike Nest smith playing each, other,
right look it.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Up it's.
Speaker 6 (30:41):
Hilarious Mike mike Mes. SMITH i, mean you wouldn't put
those two.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Together, yeah and they both had, yeah their Own Mike
nessmith didn't want really eventually didn't want to be a
monkey or it didn't want to be known as a.
Monkey SO i guess, that's, uh that's the sort of
fits for that and a show THAT i really had
gotten excited. About and THEN i went to look up
what the date was AND i, Realized i'm going to
be out of. Town Is Howard jones is playing The
(31:05):
uptown On september, Thirteenth AND i had recently gone down
Some Robert Howard jones rabbit, holes AND i think he's
a very underappreciated. Musician i've talked to several people SINCE
i DISCOVERED i can't go who have seen him multiple
times and say he's really. Great so just giving a
little heads up for anybody who wants to explore a
Little Howard jones very, esoteric jazzy. POPPY i Think Howard
(31:30):
jones is as. COOL i like.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
Him what was this big? SONG i can't think of it.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
He, Had he had four or five rather Big there
was the one that goes oh that one.
Speaker 6 (31:42):
Right he was a lot one of Those british band
musicians that really blew up ON. Mtv he took advantage OF.
Mtv but, YEAH i can't think of that. Song it's
like she wants, you she wants.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
You, yeah no one's to, Blame no one's to.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
Blame, yeah yeh, yeah yeah that was a good.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Song, yeah very good. Song he put out some and
if you want to find a cool, video there's a he.
