Speaker 3 (00:41):
Even if you're kind of happy about it.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Well, we got many different things to talk about as usual.
Tim had a very eventful weekend musically in a couple
of different ways, which kind of reminded me of my
wife and I's impromptu, crazy decision to go to Nashville
to see the Zombies a couple of years ago, and
then we found out it was Nashville, Indiana. I've told
(01:03):
that story many times. The Zombies were featured on CBS
Sunday Morning with a nice piece about the fiftieth anniversary
release of their Odyssey and Oracle album, which has gained
over the years at a tremendous respect and adoration. As
a matter of fact, within the two weeks since we
last saw you, as we talked about on My wife
and I's podcast, last week, we saw Marty Stewart at
(01:26):
a Maristar. That venue was a little bit different. Speaking
of venues, last Friday, I did my now annual pilgrimage
to see my Guilty Pleasure Ban thirty eight special. They
were in a three band bill, which the other two
I didn't really care very much about, and I was
justified in that it was at Zori Amphitheater, Sandstone. I'll
(01:50):
talk a little bit about that, maybe marginally better. Sad
news for concert fans in Kansas City have made an
annual pilgrimage to see the Mavericks and that show is
coming up on October ninth through eleventh. Row Mollow has
some significant health issues. We'll talk about that. Kat Stevens
can't get into the country because he's got a visa problem.
(02:10):
Tina Turner has a bad statue put up. We got
lots of things to talk about, as usual, Let's get
into it, including no tate for the Super Bowl It's
going to be Bad Bunny.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
All that and more with Tim.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Coming up next, It's Arts and Lifestyle Wednesday, Presented by
Strategic Partners, Inc. And Danny and Tim's Music Scene.

investments have their peaks and valleys. How do you help
your clients with the ups and downs?
Speaker 4 (02:42):

opportunities for you as an investor. However, the closer we
get to retirement, the more challenging these market swings can become.
I would like to get to know you and your
goals for the future. I offer financial planning services across
the United States, focusing mainly on Kansas in the miss area.

set your retirement date. Growing up in a tight knit community,

part of a healthy lifestyle and something to make you happy.

We all want to perform better, whether we're ten moving
on to our next level of sports or whether we're
fifty wanting to maintain those sports. Staying in motion is
the key, but that motion isn't just the only part.
If our motion isn't balanced with our muscles, with our
joints and communicating through the nervous system, we are not
staying well. And that's where chiropractic can change your life.

clinics to do that.

the road to see a musical group or act is
kind of a nice pilgrimage. Makes you feel like you're dedicated,
(05:41):
like maybe going to a road game as a sports
fan or something like that. And you did that this weekend,
Tim So tell us about sojourneying to Minneapolis.
Speaker 7 (05:52):
All right, I'll try to give the cliff Notes version
of this. We went to see a Canadian sung called
Ron Sexsmith. I was introduced to him when I was
writing for The Star. His first record came over and
it wasn't the album cover or anything. I just played it,
(06:14):
and from the minute I heard it, this was like,
this is my stuff. He sounds a little bit. He's
got so many overlaps in comparisons. I compare him to
like Lyle love It. It's Nick Drake. It's a little
bit of John Prime's. He's an elite lyricist and he
writes great melodies. So he's a really smart and inventive songwriter.
(06:38):
Not for everyone, but I listened to his first record
in the second and then just by chance, I saw
Coldplay for the first time in two thousand and three,
and they played at Memorial Hall, which was way too
small for them, but they had just broken right and
he opened with a band. Ron opened with a band,
(06:58):
and it just confirmed affirm everything I thought about him.
It was great. He was a perfect opener. So anyway
about I don't know two years ago or three years ago,
five two years ago, I had played Ron Sexsmith for
my wife, but just on playlist and she might have
noticed the song. But anyway, we played several of his songs.
(07:20):
And she is the perfect fan for him. She's she's
got music theory in her in her education, she got
a vocal minor vocal degree in college. She's all about music,
and she loves the way he writes songs and he's
a he's an elite songwriter. So ever since she like
fell for that, she's like, we got to go see
(07:42):
him somewhere. I'd seen him twice. I saw my South buy,
you know, and at that first show, so he wasn't
on my bucket list. But she's pretty fercious when it
comes to we're going to figure it out, and we did.
Like two weeks ago, she goes, I got his tickets.
He's playing this place, it's called the Dakota down to Minneapolis.
(08:04):
It's a jazz club. But you know, anyway, it turned
out to be a great show. It's a weird one,
you because it's like the distance from the back road
to the stage is like one third of the distance
or I went forth from the left side of the
stage to the right, so it's very you know, it's
not shotgun, it's the opposite. Like so we had a
(08:26):
side view. But someone was great. Anyway, great show and
it was worth the trip. And it's funny. He like
I say, he's got some lyle love it in him
because he's so bone dry, witty, droll humor. He's kind
of a weird looking guy. He's got this you know,
(08:46):
like firestorm. Harry's sixty years old, but he's kind of doey.
He's got jowls. So and he says, you know, stuff
like I know I got a face for radio, but
you gotta look at me anyway. Stuff like that. Right,
he's funny.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Anyway, he seemed to have like a dedicated following of
people who probably have seen him multiple times at this place.
Speaker 7 (09:04):
Or the place was full and it was sort of like,
you know, we sat they served food, so we sat
next to this couple from they were from Omaha, but anyway, yeah,
the guy a mother, a gad and a manor of
white goad and mother. Anyway, yeah, he was that. They
(09:26):
were both like and they were probably in there, you know,
late thirties. So we posted something about it and Michelle said, like,
he's not really well known, and a couple of our
Canadian friends said, oh, yeah, he is just up here,
you know.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Yeah, I've heard his name.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I don't know why, maybe because it's a very unique name,
so it kind of sticks in your head.
Speaker 7 (09:46):
So well, it's kind of like, based on his looks,
he's the opposite of a sex myth, but it's kind
of like a Charles Dixon or Dickinson. But yes, he's
he's very comfortable with himself and he's entertaining beyond the song.
So it reminded me of the first time I saw him.
(10:08):
And I recommend you, I say, the early records because
those are the ones I'm find us though, But if
you're like really good songwriting and I'm all love it,
it's a good comp But there are others, so yeah,
and explore.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Him well in that vein somebody who I guess would
you say is no sex myth either, but as a
fine songwriter as Jeff Tweety, and I guess he is
stretching the bounds of his fandom with a three album
set you listened to on the way back.
Speaker 8 (10:40):
Yeah, so he he put this out.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
It's like Jeff Tweety, if I didn't say his name, you.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
Did from Loco. So it's called Twilight Override. It's three
albums or whatever. I don't even know what. We listened
to it on the way home. It didn't sound like
it sounds like like if you were recording on vinyl,
like forty five each side. Didn't sound like you know,
(11:10):
Sadie was seventy five minutes.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
So right.
Speaker 7 (11:13):
But so he recorded with his two sons and a
couple of other musicians and it was sort of his
side project out of Loco, and he had a lot
to say. We listened to every song. I'm been a
local fan since since Uncle Tupelo, and I guess I would,
(11:34):
I would say listen to it. There were several moments
that were really arresting or exciting, and otherwise it's just
it's just kind of a Jet Tweety album with the
sons behind him, and some of it, you know, my
wife to look at me that next Yeah, okay, we're
(11:56):
not right. I'm driving. I'm getting a little snoozy like.
But it got a really good review in the New
York Times, and I think he's just someone who's like
kind of like for me. I'm not comparing their music,
but like Neil Young, you want to anticipate the next record,
and it's like, ooh, what is this? No, okay, I'll
pick the three songs I like off of it, so
(12:19):
I note of it's bad. It's just it's a little redundant.
But there's, like I said, four or five songs they
jump out because they're very different.
Speaker 8 (12:28):
So if you love Looko, and I think we all
know people who do, I'm sure those people will jump
on it because you can buy it in many packages
in many ways.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
But I'll just figure out the songs I like and
put them on the playlist.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Sounds good. And speaking of making pilgrimages, my wife and
I did that a couple of years ago, as we
ended up going to Nashville, Indiana to see the Zombies
at a venue which turned out to be very nice
and that any prominent artists were playing at. We had
no idea we were going to Nashville, Indiana, but we
ended up turning it into a driving trip. And that
(13:08):
was a couple of years. A few years after they
were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,
and their performance there was what inspired us to explore
them because their performance, and this is twenty nineteen so
it's fairly recent, was tremendous and they played She's Not
There in Time of the Season and the show ended
up being tremendous too, and it was nice. A couple
(13:29):
of people who heard me tell that story actually reached
out to me Sunday Morning because they were featured in
a nice lengthy piece on CBS Sunday Morning. They recently
have had a gigantic mura put up in their hometown
north of London, and they are also releasing the fiftieth
anniversity anniversary of their album Odyssey and Oracle, which they
(13:50):
recorded themselves after they broke away from a record company.
The album did absolutely nothing at the time, and it
does have Time of the Season on It only became
a hit about three years after Odyssey and Oracle was released,
and Osse and Oracle has gone on to become kind
of an iconic record in late British and Beasian music.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
Yeah, and it's not really British invasion. I can't think
of it. The band that's were so abruptly like they
did with that record, from who they were and who
they became because they were listening, they were aware of,
you know, the whole Psychondelia thing going on, and I
(14:33):
think they figured that their earliest sound, the earlier sound
was a little obsolete or you know over I saw
them at south By when they were talking about this record,
and I mean, I love that record is so everything
and it's influential, and you know, the hear bands, like
(14:56):
the bands thirty years later saying they heard that and
it was not quite Sergeant Pepper, but it was like yeah,
like what they did with their sounds. So it's it's
a fabulous record. I have a vinyl and I'm gonna
have a news record store and I play it, you know,
probably a couple of times a year, but it's it's yeah.
(15:20):
They they deserve recognition, not only for the music, but
how they adapted to what was going on or like
we got to become more adventurous and we can't just
do these you know, three minute garage rock songs. Yeah,
so I just want to say, yeah, go ahead, Well
I'm just going to say that whole story about Oops,
(15:41):
it's not Nashville, Tennessee. It's Nashville, Indiana. It should be
like a like an episode or something that it's like
like a film, like sorry, honey, work going.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
It was perfect, It's like that, but you know, especially
because it turned out it was a lovely place and
it was there a nice venue, but it was in
a state park. I mean, it couldn't have been nicer.
But I mean at first, it was like what And
I didn't even know Nashville, Indiana existed.
Speaker 7 (16:09):
So that's what they call serendipity, right, yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Exactly exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
And the album was actually recorded in Abbey Road Studios,
which is part of where the interview was done. Rod
Argent now has retired and doesn't tour anymore. He had
a stroke and another near stroke and he said, yeah,
I can't risk this anymore being on stage.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
He does speak.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
My wife said Rodd Argent didn't talk in the interview,
and she saw it separately from me. I was like,
do you know which one Rod Argent is? Because he
spoke a lot in this. So I'm gonna have to
talk to her about that. But anyway, so let's do
something completely different before the first time out, and that
is Bad Bunny is going to play the Super Bowl.
This is going to infuriate. It already has parts of
(16:51):
the NFL football audience. Bad Bunny, of course, is a
Spanish language rapper. His first couple of albums, or among
the first albums all in Spanish that have cracked the
Billboard Top ten, and he collaborates with quite a few people.
He sort of plays I would call them often melodic,
slow tempo romantic rap if that is a thing. And
(17:15):
we'll see what happens when with the reaction to Bad Bunny.
But he the NFL is reaching out to a different audience.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
Okay, i'swy your first question. I know what's going to happen.
I know what the response is going to be. And secondly,
I know about him only because I work in a
place where I work with a lot of Hispanics and
Latinos and music is on and I love it. I
don't understand the lyrics, but I just love I kind
(17:47):
of I embrace this, That's all I'm going to say.
Like I embrace this decision. It's good and you know
a lot of people will tune in to watch and
see but yeah, that's my verdict.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yeah, it'll be interesting to see who he's a Rappers
generally collaborate a lot with the other arts, and we'll
see who he will collaborate with. And so Bad Bunny
will be your super Bowl act. And if you want
to embrace something new, or if you just want to
go get some more beers at halftime, then you can
do that at the Super Bowl nights with Bad Bunny.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
Welcome back, and oftentimes coalesces that I will be reading
my Friday sleeve notes from the Guardian newspaper. And there
was a lengthy interview with Sarah McLaughlin, who of course
is a big part of Lilith Fair. And there's a
new documentary out which I have not seen, but I
guess you have about Little Affair right.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
It's I don't remember if this is an anniversary or not,
but it's close to it. Yeah, that came out like
ninety six, ninety seven or ninety eight, so it's approaching
the thirtieth year that So two things struck me. First
of all is the footage of all the artists mingling
(21:27):
with each other who were basically they were commiserating as
women in the music industry. And we've talked about this
so many times, what they fight against, what some of
it has to do with their the business and someone
has to do with other shit that's not good, you know, right, so,
(21:52):
and you can just see, even though they might be
some artists who are doing different things, it was just
like we're in this together, this sisterhood. It's just you
can feel it, like what a great idea and how
they pulled it together. I know, I was there for
three of them and it was such a great thing.
(22:14):
And like other things that have happened since then, it's like,
well we figured this out. Women deserve a place in music.
You know, Well it didn't happen, but this, it's an
immersion and what that brought to the scene, and how
(22:35):
it brought together not just artists, but audiences you know,
who were there for one person and not the other,
but they all they just embrace and you look at
the crowd scenes and of course there are men there.
I was there, but it's mostly it's going to be
you know, conservative and say it's like sixty forty women,
(22:57):
but it's probably more eighty twenty. You know. Like I
loved it. I just loved being there and the stars
that were there. I mean, that's the first time I
was up here and Apple, Who's I adore? I love
Sarah McLachlan, you know. Just so it was a very
important moment and it lasted for three years. They brought
(23:18):
it back again. But it's also like, well have we
you know, how far did we go or have we regressed?
I don't know. So that's that was my take, like
a lot of like juice and pride for like what
that meant and what it did. But also like in
(23:40):
the Chicks, the Dixie Chicks were there, like it was
there was and then you know, after the first one,
women wanted to get get on it and get into it,
you know, so because it was so it was so
important and so powerful. So yeah, but like everything, it's
like is it different now? I don't know right that
(24:02):
it'll make a difference, And there's sort of that the
PostScript is like we tried.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Yeah, yes, how's they do? What's the approach of the documentary?
Speaker 7 (24:13):
It's just very like they're not preaching. It's just like
you're watching something. It's very Yeah, it's not there's no
real narrative. You infer your narrative. Yeah, right, the artists
are speaking. That's that's kind of a narrative. That's like,
(24:34):
that's why this is important.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Well, that sounds cool to me.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
And a couple of cool shows I've been able to
see over the last couple of weeks. Marty Stewart and
his fabulous superlatives who are just that they played at
Amra Star.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
I sometimes you're just a little.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Disappointed that somebody who was so good, No, four guys
who are so good. The drummer for the Marty Stewart,
his name is Harry Handsome Harry, that's what they call him.
His name's Harry Harry Stintson. Most might be the most comfortable,
fantastic drummer I've ever seen. It looked like it looks
like he was born to drum. He's up there. It
(25:09):
just totally relaxed and looked like he could actually fall
asleep if need be. And he plays like Charlie Watt
place fantastic. Yeah, I would say he's kind of like that,
maybe a little more anybody. He's also he is handsome,
it's not just you know backwards. And then Chris Scruggs
is the bass player. He is the grandson of Earl Scruggs.
(25:31):
And then Kenny Vaughan, who was a rather legendary guitarist,
is the other guitarist besides the unbelievable Marty Stewart. Place
was only you know, that's not a big, super big venue.
A couple thousand, maybe it was only two thirds full.
I was like, come on, man, but I don't care.
We had great seats, We saw it, we enjoyed it.
(25:52):
That pavilion is a lot different than what the venue
they used to have out there, and it's better, I
would say, for sure. And anyway, Marty Stewart's just reliably excellent.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
I've only been to the whole venue, but you know,
a sobully. And also they're a sell Merle Haggard there.
I saw either Chrissy Hyde or their pretender is there,
like so they brought in a lot of people. I
don't so it's not a different place.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
They were brought the same place.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Yeah, it's it's sort of you sit in rather you know,
nice folding chairs, and then there's a permanent seating area.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
We were on the floor. Yeah, we had about ten
before tenth throw.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
I was there to see Todd Rungren in the past,
and it was, like you say, it was smaller. There
was rising sort of risers on each side or sat
at tables. That was the other time I saw it,
So this is a completely different It was more just
like a standard auditorium basically, and.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
It was good.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
The sound was that three of the three of the
four members of the band and the sound man are
in the Country Music Hall of Fame, and the sound
was impeccable.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
I mean, it was fantastic.
Speaker 7 (27:02):
Why wasn't that at the Folly? Was there something that
was going on?
Speaker 3 (27:05):
I don't know, I don't know, or.
Speaker 7 (27:07):
The uptown Yeah, that's like, I mean, there's no Like
I said, I saw Willie there, so it's not right.
You know, Loretta Lynn was there. Yeah, so you you know,
you sign a contract and play where you're going to play.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
But yeah, he's probably playing the ameristars all over the
country or something like that.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
You know, Yeah, maybe, Well, just my little story about
that place. Vince Neil from Molly Career played there once,
like it's been fifteen years. It was the worst show
I've ever seen, but in a funny way, like talking
about you could do a skit or something about this.
(27:44):
It's like he was he was as prepared as usually is,
which is like he's probably gonna forget half the lyrics.
But he was also not happy with the size of
the crowd, and he was it was like, you know,
you feel like you're being abused by the the artist
because he's so upset that more people aren't there to
see him do this crappy show like it was. I
(28:07):
think it lasted seventy minutes, barely put a lot of
it was crumbling about it. So that's the breadth of
shows I've seen there, because the Wily show I saw
there was one of my favorite Wily shows ever, so great.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
That's a good memory.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Well, I got to return to a place I really
don't want to return to very often, which is Sandstone.
Whenever it's called now is the Amphitheater, and I had
second roast heats I bought months and months ago. It's
easier to get a second row seat when you go
by yourself, which is what I did.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Then.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
The purpose of my visit was to see the always
reliable thirty eight Special. Tried out the same show that
I basically see every time, and they do an excellent
job of it. Donny Barnes, the songwriter and singer, is
the only original member of thirty eight Special. I timed
it perfectly. Starship was the opening act. I was in
line and didn't really hear. I can only hear it
(29:04):
when I was in line, and they were done before
I get inside. Thirty eight Special was second. That was perfect.
A some kind of version of Kansas was third, and
that wasn't very good to me. I'll just describe it
this way, tim thirty eight Special is what they are.
They have many, many familiar songs, and they play them
super professionally. And it's the same singer and the same
(29:25):
lead guitarist, and the other guitarist is a very well
known session type of guitarist. I don't like his on
stage persona, but that's okay. They're very good Starship. I
think you know how most people would feel about that,
and this Kansas.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
They were professional.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
But for instance, you know, the fiddle player had a
bowler hat on. I mean, so it looked like I was,
you know, in Dublin seeing I mean, come on, you know,
the other guy was had a bushy beard and long hair. Whatever.
They played professionally. They opened with point of No Return,
which is like what so And it was just like
(30:04):
seeing a standard rock show where if you like Kansas,
it's a little more est cover band, right yeah, yeah,
it was more like a cover band, not even a
tribute band. But the fans, the fans who were there
who had their Kansas t shirts on, seemed to like it.
So good for them, And I'm sure some people feel
the same way about thirty eight Special. But anyway, I
had a good time. But I will say that Sandstone
(30:24):
seemed a little bit better to me. I don't know,
it was a beautiful night. Maybe it was maybe because
I had excellent seats, I get to go through a
better entrance. Whatever, it seemed a little better to me.
They had the same you know, twelve by twelve video
boards out there, but the place was mobbed.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
It was a huge crowd, So it was a good night.
Speaker 7 (30:45):
Really well, I mean, I'm glad to hear that I
know people who will manage them on that, and I've
known them for a long time, so I'm glad they're
getting crowds. But it's like a trip back in time
for me, like going back to my old middle school
or something like, because it's always the same. Like but
(31:05):
that's fine.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
It was good and the people were happy and I
was happy. So and like I said, the timing was
absolutely what I absolutely wanted for. I said, I hope Starships.
First they were, I hope Create Special second they were.
I got to sample the Kansas version.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
And then and then leave. So it was just outstanding.
Speaker 7 (31:29):
Well, I appreciate your affection for thirty especial because I've
seen them a few times and they've got I will say,
five songs that I really like. Yeah, that was good stuff.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Fantasy Girl is one of my favorite songs of all time,
and they do a rip roaring version of that always,
so that always makes me happy and that's cool. Well,
a band that makes many people happy every year at
Knuckleheads is The Mavericks. And unfortunately, ever since he got
colon cancer and it's gotten worse, Real Malow has fun
an amazing fight, taking chemotherapy and playing most of the
(32:05):
shows that they are scheduled. They would occasionally take some
time off, and I would say that they were doing
probably seventy five percent of their shows and they're busy.
But he's finally decided he has to shut it down.
He has a rare brain disorder now that's a complication
from cancer called LMD. It's very rare and there's not
(32:29):
many treatments for it. He's going to explore alternative ones
and it's a shame, but you know, I can say,
I'm just hoping for it good health for Raoul. We've
met him on a couple of occasions at the signings
they usually do at Renaissance Records. He's a wonderful man
and really personable and seems very very appreciative of the
(32:49):
success that they have had. They've had various waves of
you know, big success and then other times when they
were sort of just and he tours and does solo
shows himself. He just loves music, and they've done all
Spanish albums and put on a show that everybody who goes,
they just keep going over and over again because they
(33:09):
love it. So here's to hoping that someday I will
see Raoul Malo and the Mavericks again, which would mean
that he was healthy.
Speaker 7 (33:19):
Yeah, it's we've discussed this, how the U sidi that
the rock stars died earlier young from excess excess to
whatever addiction drugs, alcohol, and now they're getting older. But
you know that cats us up with you too. They're
(33:40):
one of my favorite live bands. I have not seen
him as many times as you have, but it's not
double digits, but it's close, and it's it's an event.
It's it is a drug in itself because you they
share your exiberance. They may you say, they're so happy
(34:01):
to be there, and they loved the audience as much
as the audience loves them. It's like a two AA thing.
And it's as exhilarating. I mean, they're to me as
as a Springsteen show is right of the same kind
of moment. So and he is, you know, a more
than a live guy like he is beyond I've better
(34:21):
viewed him on the phone, but yeah, it's well.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
This is the type of guy he is.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
My wife at one point and was exploring the idea
of having of doing a music school for disadvantaged youth,
and she was trying to raise funding for it and
whatever and she just mentioned it to him when we
were doing a little you know, wandering by with our
album and and he said, and he and Eddie Perez,
the guitarist there, and they said right away, they said,
(34:49):
if you do and needed somebody to do a little event,
we'll be there. Of course they never this first time
I ever met her. Now this is renix project never
really got off the ground. But it's just the type
of guy Raoul is and hoping. He's yeah, yeah, hoping
for the best for him. And let's close with that.
It will make you anybody who is of a certain
(35:13):
age and can't watch the opening of any Mary Tyler
Moore episode and not enjoy the song that is the
theme song to the Mary Tyler Moore Show. I don't
think they have a heartbeat, or they're just in a
sour mood whatever. The man who wrote and performed that
song has passed away at the age of eighty eight.
(35:33):
His name is Sunny Curtis. He wrote many, many songs
in his career for many artists, mostly country artists, but
more than that as well. But he also wrote one
of the most influential and Rolling Stone has it in
their top two hundred songs of all time. I fought
the law, which has been done when everybody but from
the Bobby Fuller four, the original hit to the clash anyway,
(35:57):
here's to Sonny Curtis eighty eight years old. That's a
good law run. And he gave us not only I
fought the law, but the hat in the air moment
in Minneapolis where you just were. That you can watch
on any repeat of the Mary Tyler Moore Show anytime
you like.
Speaker 7 (36:13):
It reminds me that TV shows used to have theme
songs that you sang along to, right, so many of them,
Like that's a that's a bygone thing too, Like think
about those Yeah, you know, I don't even know what
they do now, probably instrumentals, but and that was that
was iconic for sure.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Yeah, we might just make it after all, and we
make it happen every couple of weeks here me and
Tim I certainly enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
I know the audience does as well. Tim.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Thanks as ever, We'll see you in a couple of weeks.

Even if you're kind of happy about it.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Well, we got many different things to talk about as usual.
Tim had a very eventful weekend musically in a couple
of different ways, which kind of reminded me of my
wife and I's impromptu, crazy decision to go to Nashville
to see the Zombies a couple of years ago, and
then we found out it was Nashville, Indiana. I've told
(01:03):
that story many times. The Zombies were featured on CBS
Sunday Morning with a nice piece about the fiftieth anniversary
release of their Odyssey and Oracle album, which has gained
over the years at a tremendous respect and adoration. As
a matter of fact, within the two weeks since we
last saw you, as we talked about on My wife
and I's podcast, last week, we saw Marty Stewart at
(01:26):
a Maristar. That venue was a little bit different. Speaking
of venues, last Friday, I did my now annual pilgrimage
to see my Guilty Pleasure Ban thirty eight special. They
were in a three band bill, which the other two
I didn't really care very much about, and I was
justified in that it was at Zori Amphitheater, Sandstone. I'll
(01:50):
talk a little bit about that, maybe marginally better. Sad
news for concert fans in Kansas City have made an
annual pilgrimage to see the Mavericks and that show is
coming up on October ninth through eleventh. Row Mollow has
some significant health issues. We'll talk about that. Kat Stevens
can't get into the country because he's got a visa problem.
(02:10):
Tina Turner has a bad statue put up. We got
lots of things to talk about, as usual, Let's get
into it, including no tate for the Super Bowl It's
going to be Bad Bunny.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
All that and more with Tim.

fifty wanting to maintain those sports. Staying in motion is
the key, but that motion isn't just the only part.

joints and communicating through the nervous system, we are not
staying well. And that's where chiropractic can change your life.

the road to see a musical group or act is
kind of a nice pilgrimage. Makes you feel like you're dedicated,
(05:41):
like maybe going to a road game as a sports
fan or something like that. And you did that this weekend,
Tim So tell us about sojourneying to Minneapolis.
Speaker 7 (05:52):
All right, I'll try to give the cliff Notes version
of this. We went to see a Canadian sung called
Ron Sexsmith. I was introduced to him when I was
writing for The Star. His first record came over and
it wasn't the album cover or anything. I just played it,
(06:14):
and from the minute I heard it, this was like,
this is my stuff. He sounds a little bit. He's
got so many overlaps in comparisons. I compare him to
like Lyle love It. It's Nick Drake. It's a little
bit of John Prime's. He's an elite lyricist and he
writes great melodies. So he's a really smart and inventive songwriter.
(06:38):
Not for everyone, but I listened to his first record
in the second and then just by chance, I saw
Coldplay for the first time in two thousand and three,
and they played at Memorial Hall, which was way too
small for them, but they had just broken right and
he opened with a band. Ron opened with a band,
(06:58):
and it just confirmed affirm everything I thought about him.
It was great. He was a perfect opener. So anyway
about I don't know two years ago or three years ago,
five two years ago, I had played Ron Sexsmith for
my wife, but just on playlist and she might have
noticed the song. But anyway, we played several of his songs.
(07:20):
And she is the perfect fan for him. She's she's
got music theory in her in her education, she got
a vocal minor vocal degree in college. She's all about music,
and she loves the way he writes songs and he's
a he's an elite songwriter. So ever since she like
fell for that, she's like, we got to go see
(07:42):
him somewhere. I'd seen him twice. I saw my South buy,
you know, and at that first show, so he wasn't
on my bucket list. But she's pretty fercious when it
comes to we're going to figure it out, and we did.
Like two weeks ago, she goes, I got his tickets.
He's playing this place, it's called the Dakota down to Minneapolis.
(08:04):
It's a jazz club. But you know, anyway, it turned
out to be a great show. It's a weird one,
you because it's like the distance from the back road
to the stage is like one third of the distance
or I went forth from the left side of the
stage to the right, so it's very you know, it's
not shotgun, it's the opposite. Like so we had a
(08:26):
side view. But someone was great. Anyway, great show and
it was worth the trip. And it's funny. He like
I say, he's got some lyle love it in him
because he's so bone dry, witty, droll humor. He's kind
of a weird looking guy. He's got this you know,
(08:46):
like firestorm. Harry's sixty years old, but he's kind of doey.
He's got jowls. So and he says, you know, stuff
like I know I got a face for radio, but
you gotta look at me anyway. Stuff like that. Right,
he's funny.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Anyway, he seemed to have like a dedicated following of
people who probably have seen him multiple times at this place.
Speaker 7 (09:04):
Or the place was full and it was sort of like,
you know, we sat they served food, so we sat
next to this couple from they were from Omaha, but anyway, yeah,
the guy a mother, a gad and a manor of
white goad and mother. Anyway, yeah, he was that. They
(09:26):
were both like and they were probably in there, you know,
late thirties. So we posted something about it and Michelle said, like,
he's not really well known, and a couple of our
Canadian friends said, oh, yeah, he is just up here,
you know.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Yeah, I've heard his name.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I don't know why, maybe because it's a very unique name,
so it kind of sticks in your head.
Speaker 7 (09:46):
So well, it's kind of like, based on his looks,
he's the opposite of a sex myth, but it's kind
of like a Charles Dixon or Dickinson. But yes, he's
he's very comfortable with himself and he's entertaining beyond the song.
So it reminded me of the first time I saw him.
(10:08):
And I recommend you, I say, the early records because
those are the ones I'm find us though, But if
you're like really good songwriting and I'm all love it,
it's a good comp But there are others, so yeah,
and explore.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Him well in that vein somebody who I guess would
you say is no sex myth either, but as a
fine songwriter as Jeff Tweety, and I guess he is
stretching the bounds of his fandom with a three album
set you listened to on the way back.
Speaker 8 (10:40):
Yeah, so he he put this out.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
It's like Jeff Tweety, if I didn't say his name, you.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
Did from Loco. So it's called Twilight Override. It's three
albums or whatever. I don't even know what. We listened
to it on the way home. It didn't sound like
it sounds like like if you were recording on vinyl,
like forty five each side. Didn't sound like you know,
(11:10):
Sadie was seventy five minutes.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
So right.
Speaker 7 (11:13):
But so he recorded with his two sons and a
couple of other musicians and it was sort of his
side project out of Loco, and he had a lot
to say. We listened to every song. I'm been a
local fan since since Uncle Tupelo, and I guess I would,
(11:34):
I would say listen to it. There were several moments
that were really arresting or exciting, and otherwise it's just
it's just kind of a Jet Tweety album with the
sons behind him, and some of it, you know, my
wife to look at me that next Yeah, okay, we're
(11:56):
not right. I'm driving. I'm getting a little snoozy like.
But it got a really good review in the New
York Times, and I think he's just someone who's like
kind of like for me. I'm not comparing their music,
but like Neil Young, you want to anticipate the next record,
and it's like, ooh, what is this? No, okay, I'll
pick the three songs I like off of it, so
(12:19):
I note of it's bad. It's just it's a little redundant.
But there's, like I said, four or five songs they
jump out because they're very different.
Speaker 8 (12:28):
So if you love Looko, and I think we all
know people who do, I'm sure those people will jump
on it because you can buy it in many packages
in many ways.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
But I'll just figure out the songs I like and
put them on the playlist.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Sounds good. And speaking of making pilgrimages, my wife and
I did that a couple of years ago, as we
ended up going to Nashville, Indiana to see the Zombies
at a venue which turned out to be very nice
and that any prominent artists were playing at. We had
no idea we were going to Nashville, Indiana, but we
ended up turning it into a driving trip. And that
(13:08):
was a couple of years. A few years after they
were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,
and their performance there was what inspired us to explore
them because their performance, and this is twenty nineteen so
it's fairly recent, was tremendous and they played She's Not
There in Time of the Season and the show ended
up being tremendous too, and it was nice. A couple
(13:29):
of people who heard me tell that story actually reached
out to me Sunday Morning because they were featured in
a nice lengthy piece on CBS Sunday Morning. They recently
have had a gigantic mura put up in their hometown
north of London, and they are also releasing the fiftieth
anniversity anniversary of their album Odyssey and Oracle, which they
(13:50):
recorded themselves after they broke away from a record company.
The album did absolutely nothing at the time, and it
does have Time of the Season on It only became
a hit about three years after Odyssey and Oracle was released,
and Osse and Oracle has gone on to become kind
of an iconic record in late British and Beasian music.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
Yeah, and it's not really British invasion. I can't think
of it. The band that's were so abruptly like they
did with that record, from who they were and who
they became because they were listening, they were aware of,
you know, the whole Psychondelia thing going on, and I
(14:33):
think they figured that their earliest sound, the earlier sound
was a little obsolete or you know over I saw
them at south By when they were talking about this record,
and I mean, I love that record is so everything
and it's influential, and you know, the hear bands, like
(14:56):
the bands thirty years later saying they heard that and
it was not quite Sergeant Pepper, but it was like yeah,
like what they did with their sounds. So it's it's
a fabulous record. I have a vinyl and I'm gonna
have a news record store and I play it, you know,
probably a couple of times a year, but it's it's yeah.
(15:20):
They they deserve recognition, not only for the music, but
how they adapted to what was going on or like
we got to become more adventurous and we can't just
do these you know, three minute garage rock songs. Yeah,
so I just want to say, yeah, go ahead, Well
I'm just going to say that whole story about Oops,
(15:41):
it's not Nashville, Tennessee. It's Nashville, Indiana. It should be
like a like an episode or something that it's like
like a film, like sorry, honey, work going.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
It was perfect, It's like that, but you know, especially
because it turned out it was a lovely place and
it was there a nice venue, but it was in
a state park. I mean, it couldn't have been nicer.
But I mean at first, it was like what And
I didn't even know Nashville, Indiana existed.
Speaker 7 (16:09):
So that's what they call serendipity, right, yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Exactly exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
And the album was actually recorded in Abbey Road Studios,
which is part of where the interview was done. Rod
Argent now has retired and doesn't tour anymore. He had
a stroke and another near stroke and he said, yeah,
I can't risk this anymore being on stage.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
He does speak.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
My wife said Rodd Argent didn't talk in the interview,
and she saw it separately from me. I was like,
do you know which one Rod Argent is? Because he
spoke a lot in this. So I'm gonna have to
talk to her about that. But anyway, so let's do
something completely different before the first time out, and that
is Bad Bunny is going to play the Super Bowl.
This is going to infuriate. It already has parts of
(16:51):
the NFL football audience. Bad Bunny, of course, is a
Spanish language rapper. His first couple of albums, or among
the first albums all in Spanish that have cracked the
Billboard Top ten, and he collaborates with quite a few people.
He sort of plays I would call them often melodic,
slow tempo romantic rap if that is a thing. And
(17:15):
we'll see what happens when with the reaction to Bad Bunny.
But he the NFL is reaching out to a different audience.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
Okay, i'swy your first question. I know what's going to happen.
I know what the response is going to be. And secondly,
I know about him only because I work in a
place where I work with a lot of Hispanics and
Latinos and music is on and I love it. I
don't understand the lyrics, but I just love I kind
(17:47):
of I embrace this, That's all I'm going to say.
Like I embrace this decision. It's good and you know
a lot of people will tune in to watch and
see but yeah, that's my verdict.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yeah, it'll be interesting to see who he's a Rappers
generally collaborate a lot with the other arts, and we'll
see who he will collaborate with. And so Bad Bunny
will be your super Bowl act. And if you want
to embrace something new, or if you just want to
go get some more beers at halftime, then you can
do that at the Super Bowl nights with Bad Bunny.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
Welcome back, and oftentimes coalesces that I will be reading
my Friday sleeve notes from the Guardian newspaper. And there
was a lengthy interview with Sarah McLaughlin, who of course
is a big part of Lilith Fair. And there's a
new documentary out which I have not seen, but I
guess you have about Little Affair right.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
It's I don't remember if this is an anniversary or not,
but it's close to it. Yeah, that came out like
ninety six, ninety seven or ninety eight, so it's approaching
the thirtieth year that So two things struck me. First
of all is the footage of all the artists mingling
(21:27):
with each other who were basically they were commiserating as
women in the music industry. And we've talked about this
so many times, what they fight against, what some of
it has to do with their the business and someone
has to do with other shit that's not good, you know, right, so,
(21:52):
and you can just see, even though they might be
some artists who are doing different things, it was just
like we're in this together, this sisterhood. It's just you
can feel it, like what a great idea and how
they pulled it together. I know, I was there for
three of them and it was such a great thing.
(22:14):
And like other things that have happened since then, it's like,
well we figured this out. Women deserve a place in music.
You know, Well it didn't happen, but this, it's an
immersion and what that brought to the scene, and how
(22:35):
it brought together not just artists, but audiences you know,
who were there for one person and not the other,
but they all they just embrace and you look at
the crowd scenes and of course there are men there.
I was there, but it's mostly it's going to be
you know, conservative and say it's like sixty forty women,
(22:57):
but it's probably more eighty twenty. You know. Like I
loved it. I just loved being there and the stars
that were there. I mean, that's the first time I
was up here and Apple, Who's I adore? I love
Sarah McLachlan, you know. Just so it was a very
important moment and it lasted for three years. They brought
(23:18):
it back again. But it's also like, well have we
you know, how far did we go or have we regressed?
I don't know. So that's that was my take, like
a lot of like juice and pride for like what
that meant and what it did. But also like in
(23:40):
the Chicks, the Dixie Chicks were there, like it was
there was and then you know, after the first one,
women wanted to get get on it and get into it,
you know, so because it was so it was so
important and so powerful. So yeah, but like everything, it's
like is it different now? I don't know right that
(24:02):
it'll make a difference, And there's sort of that the
PostScript is like we tried.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Yeah, yes, how's they do? What's the approach of the documentary?
Speaker 7 (24:13):
It's just very like they're not preaching. It's just like
you're watching something. It's very Yeah, it's not there's no
real narrative. You infer your narrative. Yeah, right, the artists
are speaking. That's that's kind of a narrative. That's like,
(24:34):
that's why this is important.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Well, that sounds cool to me.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
And a couple of cool shows I've been able to
see over the last couple of weeks. Marty Stewart and
his fabulous superlatives who are just that they played at
Amra Star.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
I sometimes you're just a little.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Disappointed that somebody who was so good, No, four guys
who are so good. The drummer for the Marty Stewart,
his name is Harry Handsome Harry, that's what they call him.
His name's Harry Harry Stintson. Most might be the most comfortable,
fantastic drummer I've ever seen. It looked like it looks
like he was born to drum. He's up there. It
(25:09):
just totally relaxed and looked like he could actually fall
asleep if need be. And he plays like Charlie Watt
place fantastic. Yeah, I would say he's kind of like that,
maybe a little more anybody. He's also he is handsome,
it's not just you know backwards. And then Chris Scruggs
is the bass player. He is the grandson of Earl Scruggs.
(25:31):
And then Kenny Vaughan, who was a rather legendary guitarist,
is the other guitarist besides the unbelievable Marty Stewart. Place
was only you know, that's not a big, super big venue.
A couple thousand, maybe it was only two thirds full.
I was like, come on, man, but I don't care.
We had great seats, We saw it, we enjoyed it.
(25:52):
That pavilion is a lot different than what the venue
they used to have out there, and it's better, I
would say, for sure. And anyway, Marty Stewart's just reliably excellent.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
I've only been to the whole venue, but you know,
a sobully. And also they're a sell Merle Haggard there.
I saw either Chrissy Hyde or their pretender is there,
like so they brought in a lot of people. I
don't so it's not a different place.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
They were brought the same place.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Yeah, it's it's sort of you sit in rather you know,
nice folding chairs, and then there's a permanent seating area.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
We were on the floor. Yeah, we had about ten
before tenth throw.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
I was there to see Todd Rungren in the past,
and it was, like you say, it was smaller. There
was rising sort of risers on each side or sat
at tables. That was the other time I saw it,
So this is a completely different It was more just
like a standard auditorium basically, and.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
It was good.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
The sound was that three of the three of the
four members of the band and the sound man are
in the Country Music Hall of Fame, and the sound
was impeccable.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
I mean, it was fantastic.
Speaker 7 (27:02):
Why wasn't that at the Folly? Was there something that
was going on?
Speaker 3 (27:05):
I don't know, I don't know, or.
Speaker 7 (27:07):
The uptown Yeah, that's like, I mean, there's no Like
I said, I saw Willie there, so it's not right.
You know, Loretta Lynn was there. Yeah, so you you know,
you sign a contract and play where you're going to play.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
But yeah, he's probably playing the ameristars all over the
country or something like that.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
You know, Yeah, maybe, Well, just my little story about
that place. Vince Neil from Molly Career played there once,
like it's been fifteen years. It was the worst show
I've ever seen, but in a funny way, like talking
about you could do a skit or something about this.
(27:44):
It's like he was he was as prepared as usually is,
which is like he's probably gonna forget half the lyrics.
But he was also not happy with the size of
the crowd, and he was it was like, you know,
you feel like you're being abused by the the artist
because he's so upset that more people aren't there to
see him do this crappy show like it was. I
(28:07):
think it lasted seventy minutes, barely put a lot of
it was crumbling about it. So that's the breadth of
shows I've seen there, because the Wily show I saw
there was one of my favorite Wily shows ever, so great.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
That's a good memory.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Well, I got to return to a place I really
don't want to return to very often, which is Sandstone.
Whenever it's called now is the Amphitheater, and I had
second roast heats I bought months and months ago. It's
easier to get a second row seat when you go
by yourself, which is what I did.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Then.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
The purpose of my visit was to see the always
reliable thirty eight Special. Tried out the same show that
I basically see every time, and they do an excellent
job of it. Donny Barnes, the songwriter and singer, is
the only original member of thirty eight Special. I timed
it perfectly. Starship was the opening act. I was in
line and didn't really hear. I can only hear it
(29:04):
when I was in line, and they were done before
I get inside. Thirty eight Special was second. That was perfect.
A some kind of version of Kansas was third, and
that wasn't very good to me. I'll just describe it
this way, tim thirty eight Special is what they are.
They have many, many familiar songs, and they play them
super professionally. And it's the same singer and the same
(29:25):
lead guitarist, and the other guitarist is a very well
known session type of guitarist. I don't like his on
stage persona, but that's okay. They're very good Starship. I
think you know how most people would feel about that,
and this Kansas.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
They were professional.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
But for instance, you know, the fiddle player had a
bowler hat on. I mean, so it looked like I was,
you know, in Dublin seeing I mean, come on, you know,
the other guy was had a bushy beard and long hair. Whatever.
They played professionally. They opened with point of No Return,
which is like what so And it was just like
(30:04):
seeing a standard rock show where if you like Kansas,
it's a little more est cover band, right yeah, yeah,
it was more like a cover band, not even a
tribute band. But the fans, the fans who were there
who had their Kansas t shirts on, seemed to like it.
So good for them, And I'm sure some people feel
the same way about thirty eight Special. But anyway, I
had a good time. But I will say that Sandstone
(30:24):
seemed a little bit better to me. I don't know,
it was a beautiful night. Maybe it was maybe because
I had excellent seats, I get to go through a
better entrance. Whatever, it seemed a little better to me.
They had the same you know, twelve by twelve video
boards out there, but the place was mobbed.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
It was a huge crowd, So it was a good night.
Speaker 7 (30:45):
Really well, I mean, I'm glad to hear that I
know people who will manage them on that, and I've
known them for a long time, so I'm glad they're
getting crowds. But it's like a trip back in time
for me, like going back to my old middle school
or something like, because it's always the same. Like but
(31:05):
that's fine.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
It was good and the people were happy and I
was happy. So and like I said, the timing was
absolutely what I absolutely wanted for. I said, I hope Starships.
First they were, I hope Create Special second they were.
I got to sample the Kansas version.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
And then and then leave. So it was just outstanding.
Speaker 7 (31:29):
Well, I appreciate your affection for thirty especial because I've
seen them a few times and they've got I will say,
five songs that I really like. Yeah, that was good stuff.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Fantasy Girl is one of my favorite songs of all time,
and they do a rip roaring version of that always,
so that always makes me happy and that's cool. Well,
a band that makes many people happy every year at
Knuckleheads is The Mavericks. And unfortunately, ever since he got
colon cancer and it's gotten worse, Real Malow has fun
an amazing fight, taking chemotherapy and playing most of the
(32:05):
shows that they are scheduled. They would occasionally take some
time off, and I would say that they were doing
probably seventy five percent of their shows and they're busy.
But he's finally decided he has to shut it down.
He has a rare brain disorder now that's a complication
from cancer called LMD. It's very rare and there's not
(32:29):
many treatments for it. He's going to explore alternative ones
and it's a shame, but you know, I can say,
I'm just hoping for it good health for Raoul. We've
met him on a couple of occasions at the signings
they usually do at Renaissance Records. He's a wonderful man
and really personable and seems very very appreciative of the
(32:49):
success that they have had. They've had various waves of
you know, big success and then other times when they
were sort of just and he tours and does solo
shows himself. He just loves music, and they've done all
Spanish albums and put on a show that everybody who goes,
they just keep going over and over again because they
(33:09):
love it. So here's to hoping that someday I will
see Raoul Malo and the Mavericks again, which would mean
that he was healthy.
Speaker 7 (33:19):
Yeah, it's we've discussed this, how the U sidi that
the rock stars died earlier young from excess excess to
whatever addiction drugs, alcohol, and now they're getting older. But
you know that cats us up with you too. They're
(33:40):
one of my favorite live bands. I have not seen
him as many times as you have, but it's not
double digits, but it's close, and it's it's an event.
It's it is a drug in itself because you they
share your exiberance. They may you say, they're so happy
(34:01):
to be there, and they loved the audience as much
as the audience loves them. It's like a two AA thing.
And it's as exhilarating. I mean, they're to me as
as a Springsteen show is right of the same kind
of moment. So and he is, you know, a more
than a live guy like he is beyond I've better
(34:21):
viewed him on the phone, but yeah, it's well.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
This is the type of guy he is.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
My wife at one point and was exploring the idea
of having of doing a music school for disadvantaged youth,
and she was trying to raise funding for it and
whatever and she just mentioned it to him when we
were doing a little you know, wandering by with our
album and and he said, and he and Eddie Perez,
the guitarist there, and they said right away, they said,
(34:49):
if you do and needed somebody to do a little event,
we'll be there. Of course they never this first time
I ever met her. Now this is renix project never
really got off the ground. But it's just the type
of guy Raoul is and hoping. He's yeah, yeah, hoping
for the best for him. And let's close with that.
It will make you anybody who is of a certain
(35:13):
age and can't watch the opening of any Mary Tyler
Moore episode and not enjoy the song that is the
theme song to the Mary Tyler Moore Show. I don't
think they have a heartbeat, or they're just in a
sour mood whatever. The man who wrote and performed that
song has passed away at the age of eighty eight.
(35:33):
His name is Sunny Curtis. He wrote many, many songs
in his career for many artists, mostly country artists, but
more than that as well. But he also wrote one
of the most influential and Rolling Stone has it in
their top two hundred songs of all time. I fought
the law, which has been done when everybody but from
the Bobby Fuller four, the original hit to the clash anyway,
(35:57):
here's to Sonny Curtis eighty eight years old. That's a
good law run. And he gave us not only I
fought the law, but the hat in the air moment
in Minneapolis where you just were. That you can watch
on any repeat of the Mary Tyler Moore Show anytime
you like.
Speaker 7 (36:13):
It reminds me that TV shows used to have theme
songs that you sang along to, right, so many of them,
Like that's a that's a bygone thing too, Like think
about those Yeah, you know, I don't even know what
they do now, probably instrumentals, but and that was that
was iconic for sure.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Yeah, we might just make it after all, and we
make it happen every couple of weeks here me and
Tim I certainly enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
I know the audience does as well. Tim.
Speaker 2 (36:41):

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
