Love4oneanother Episode 2

Song Breakdown and being true to ourselves.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome back, y'all.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
This is Jeff Luna and the Love for one Another Podcast.
I want to welcome you back to this wonderful journey
through music life and how we navigate through it all together. No,
we do not talk about hate here, but we do
not act like we are blind to those amongst us
filled with hate. So strap yourselves in as we take
this musical journey and learn to have love for one another. Hey,

(00:32):
and here we are and show number two. This is
the Love for one Another podcast. And I am coming
to live while live in the recording from the Eclip
six studios, and I'm trying something new. I'm gonna try
and record which I don't care for the way it's
coming out. And I'm also getting a click which I

(00:52):
canna turn that off. So I'm recording live and I'm
going to try and do some put this on YouTube also,
and trying to cover all platforms because the last time
I did this, I used to do this for my
phone and not from a studio. So this is going
to be a little different now. And we're going to
try and keep this real so I can put it

(01:15):
on different platforms. So that way, however you would like
to watch or listen. You have different options. And we
are also broadcasting live on Real Music Radio and on
the Minneapolis Sound Radio. It is also on podcasts. We
got iHeartRadio on Spreaker, on Apple podcasts, so we are

(01:36):
all over the place. And it's something you were also
getting ready if you weren't aware of it. I announced
it that we are getting ready to launch the Jellybean
Johnson Joint. And that's with eight AM and Jellybean of course,
and with John DJ Jedi and with Chris Arnell. So

(01:58):
we got some things coming out with this thing to
shake it up all over the place.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
What am I doing.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
I'm gonna be probably recording from different areas, so on
the video you're going to see different things and also
from different sources. So when we talk about the love
for one another podcasts, there's different things.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
Man.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
We got different things that we're going to do. And
I'm excited about it because the last time I came
on for my first show back, I talked about some
it looks weird because I'm not looking at the camera.
Why is that if I put the camera, if I
turn it, it's going to be I had it switched

(02:40):
back the other way, but it is what it is,
I suppose, right anyway, So I talked about listening to
music and what it does for you and how it
how it helps you get through times and different times
in your life, and what it does sometimes we just

(03:01):
need to take that break, right, So we talked about
taking time to listen and sometimes with all the craziness
going on in the world, and there's a lot of it,
And what we did talk about was that we're not
going to ignore the things that are going on in life,
because there's a lot. But part of the problem is

(03:21):
that we tend to get too involved in it, into engulfed,
and it's just every day it's hitting us from left
and right, and it's hard to learn how to navigate
and learn how to get by in what do I do?
What do I do to get through this craziness? And
a lot of times we add to it. I know

(03:43):
I do because I talk about it, and I talk
about it a lot on different platforms, and I'm not
going to do that here unless that's the subject for
the day, but it's not today. So what we do
is we try to learn how to get through it,
and a lot of it. What I go to a
lot of times is music. Different people go through different things,
And I know for a lot of people that I

(04:03):
speak to, and a lot of Prince fans, we go
to Prince music, so and there's so not just Prince
Prince relating music, and then sometimes the world evolving around
him where he got his influences from, and a lot
of that just happens to be the same as me,
because not because I'm copying them or something like that,
but because I grew up in a time when I

(04:25):
was listening to him and to those same influences. So
there's a lot of similarities, and then there's a lot
that aren't. But I noticed that there if you go
through and this and the people tell their stories and
and this and that and read books and stuff, that
there is a lot of similarities similarities, and a lot
of it has to do with the style of music,
you know. So so we'll dive deep into that. We're

(04:47):
gonna actually today, I would like to pick a part
a song. And it's interesting to me, so to some
people it might not be. To me, it is. So
I took a song like just as long as We're together,
and it broke it apart, and we're going to play
that and listen to a couple of different aspects of

(05:10):
it to see what he was doing. It's not going
to be exact, it's not perfect, but it breaks apart
the song and I think it's great. And before we
do all that, let's what I'm gonna try and do
is be careful how I do this. Because the first
episode went through perfectly. Nobody said nothing about the music
being played yet, and I want to be careful because

(05:32):
I still want to respect the music. So We're only
going to be playing portions of the songs to make
sure we do that. I'm not sure I really, to
be honest with you, as long as I've been doing
this keeps changing. So what I'm gonna do is we'll
play some of a song and to get things started
and then we'll get into where we go from there.

(05:53):
So let's get into a song right now. And I'm
gonna have to pick a song. I had one ray
last week we played Clouds and then we went into
some Marvin Gay and George Benson, and a lot of
that had to do with trying to get through some
music that makes you feel better, right, So we're gonna
still keep that energy going with some feel good music

(06:14):
this morning or today, and then we'll go from there.
So I'll see you on the other side, and I'll
announce the song just a minute, but until then, we'll
see you in just a second. And we are back,
and I moved some stuff around, I changed the camera
and gonna try it. I still feel like I'm looking
all over the place, but I think I need to

(06:35):
just look into the camera and that might change that anyway.
So let's get into it. We're gonna play a song
by Prince off the same album that I'm gonna be
working with. Just as long as you're together, just as
long as we're together, I should say. And this song
is one of his big hits off the album, and
everybody knows that. Everybody's heard all about it, and it's

(06:57):
like kind of trying to now that so many people
have so much information about Prince and what he was doing.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
It makes it a.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Little difficult to try and tell you guys something. You
guys are all smart Prince fans that you don't already know.
And like I said, this this show is not We're
not going to go down the same path we went before,
because before it was a little different. So I want
people that aren't that are just kind of like in

(07:28):
dated with Prince to not sit here and go man,
there's just another Print show and we're just hearing the
same things we've heard over before. So what we're trying
to do, like I said, is to get that feel good.
We want you to feel good about music, feel good
about what this stuff does for you, and hopefully take
you to the same place. So this is what's in
my mind right now. And we're going to get into

(07:50):
some Soft and Wet by Prince and we hope that
you enjoy it. We're only going to play a little
bit of it. We're going to move on because we've
got some cool stuff to do tonight. And I hope
you alloy the Prints assumption.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
We shout out what.

Speaker 5 (08:18):
You say, what you do, she said.

Speaker 6 (08:50):
Somewhere and we are back.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
That was Soft and Wet by Prince and what a
great song. Just like I said, this is for me
the show. And I had to record it again because
I forgot to hit record the last time. So for me,
this show is to it's to feel good. It's to
feel good. Like there's a lot of bad stuff going
on in the world. There always has been, and there
always will be. And this is the show to make

(10:05):
you feel good. It makes me feel good and I
hope it makes you feel good too. That's the point,
right We want to get to where everybody can just
get through your day and if something like this can
make you enjoy your day. I know that a lot
of people listen to podcasts. I listen to myself. Sometimes
you just want to hear somebody talk about something good

(10:26):
because there's so much bad and there's always room to
talk about the bad stuff. We have that room all
the time. But you know, sometimes how do we get
to a good feeling? You know, sometimes it's music. Like
I said, music for me makes me feel good, and

(10:46):
we play some good songs. Princess music always made me
feel good. And there's a lot of other ways to
get through it too, and that's something that we try
to do. So again, if you can, if you can
find a place, what is the whole purpose of this
of If you look at the title of my show,

(11:08):
love for one Another? And we know prints promoted love
for one another too, but what.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Is it about?

Speaker 6 (11:14):
What is it about?

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Is it about just the saying or a song or
something that sounded cool. No, of course, it's about trying
to find a place where we can have love for
another person. I love for another human being, to look
at somebody without judging them. And that's hard to do.
It's very difficult to do because we've been doing that

(11:36):
for so long. I mean, think about it. Through throughout
your day. You see people, you see people everywhere you go.
There's always gonna be people. There's gonna be people of
all different nationalities, of all different people that are financially
they're different thing with you are right, so they might

(11:57):
either be better doing, better off or doing And it's
even if you don't mean to, you're constantly kind of going, oh,
you know that person doesn't have this, they don't have that,
or why are they living in the street, or why
they got a better card than me? Or this and that,
and it's always like sometimes it can get very hard
to get through your day because you not only are

(12:19):
you dealing with your personal problems, but it's also that
status of why am I struggling or why are they struggling?
How do we help people? How do I not help people?
I Mean, you can go through the whole day of
all these thoughts and by the time you get home
by the time you get home, you're stressed out and
you got a lot of stress. You got the pressure

(12:41):
on your shoulders and your back, and you're like, man,
why am I my heart? Why do I feel? Why
do I feel so so so much pressure?

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Right?

Speaker 2 (12:56):
And not realizing it. It's your day, your day of
all the things that you went through in that particular day,
and you might not be a bad person, but sometimes
you're just like, man, it's just too much and I
don't want to see it no more. I'm just tired.
I'm tired of it. But it's always going to be there, right,
So what do we do to get round it? For me,

(13:20):
this took a while to get to. I'm not going
to lie. It's not like all of a sudden I
knew what to say and what to do, and he
had all the answers. I don't have all the answers.
I'm still trying to figure out my way. This is
helping me get through it and try and figure out
my way of how do I make it through every day?
And sometimes it's really knowing and remembering and trying to

(13:42):
lock into I just need to love that person. They
might be going through a hard time, they might be
going through some struggles. But if in my day I
can smile at them, I can wave. Maybe you don't
want to draw their attention. You can just go on
with your day without passing bad judgment. Sometimes you want

(14:06):
to help a little bit more than usual, so you
try and give it any hand or help or something
like that, and deep inside, I'm going to tell you something.
What happens, and what happens for me, is that you
start to get through your day and feel a little better.
You start to feel a little better about yourself, You
feel a little bit better about the situation. And the

(14:28):
next day comes and you go, man, maybe I can
do something more. Maybe there's more that I can do
to help because it helps me. If it helps me,
maybe I can help them. Because let's face it, and
I know a lot of people will say you need
to just go help people and forget about yourself this
and that, and at this age we should already know

(14:50):
that that's not true. If you're not doing good yourself,
you're unable to help other people. You've got to be
able to be in a good spot yourself to help
other people. Very important that if you don't have self love,
if you don't have a good energy about yourself, then
the energy you portray to others is going to be

(15:10):
negative and they're not gonna listen. They're not going to
feel good about you, and it's going to come off
as like they don't like you, but it's really because
they're going through enough stuff themselves. Then now they got
your negative energy. So it's important to have a good
positive energy in the beginning.

Speaker 6 (15:26):
So that way.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
You're giving off that positive energy. And I'm telling you
positive energy can go a long way. It's positivity, right.
I have that on my truck because why because it
might remind somebody that having that positive energy will help
you in the long run. So anyway, those are the
thoughts of the day, and that's what we're gonna not

(15:51):
only focus on, but we're also going to do this
with just as long as we're together. I wanted to
pick the song apart. I wanted to give you some
cool things about it. Let's get into that. And it's
a little difficult because I'm doing audio. Some people are
really good at this. Man, I'm terrible because I'm doing
it all I'm separating it and once I figure out
how to do it from my computer, everything. I think

(16:12):
it'll be a lot better. So right now, I'm also
using one of my dogs, and I'm and I got
my We're gonna play the music from there, and I'm
going to edit it and put it in here. So
we're gonna get into just as long as we're together.
We're gonna have it broken down, bringing some of the
some of the vocals, and then we're gonna bring in

(16:34):
the keyboards and synthesizers and stuff so we can hear
the differences. I really think it's cool. We're not gonna
do the whole song. We'll do a little bit of it.
And then one of the things I really liked about
it was the percussion. I'm a percussionist myself, and I
love drumming, so it's kind of cool to hear what
he did with this in the pocket. So it's pretty cool.

(16:55):
So let me pause this and we're going to get
right back into it with just as long as we're together,
by Prince, we're gonna break it down, and I hope
you enjoy it. We'll talk to you a minute, all right.

Speaker 6 (17:08):
You got the drums face and I'm gonna bring in
the vocals.

Speaker 5 (17:23):
Guys trying to drink it down. See so long the time,
so don't shine.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Enough results.

Speaker 4 (17:46):
Drop out, So lord, these things all round, and when
you would.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Come lovely share nothing. Let the break us upon.

Speaker 7 (18:07):
Girl like that always had you in my hair.

Speaker 5 (18:10):
I could always have you in my heart.

Speaker 6 (18:13):
And come back in with the baskay so.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
Bod, I don't get the music, baby, you bring the.

Speaker 8 (18:21):
Wine gables, gather.

Speaker 5 (18:36):
Everything outside.

Speaker 6 (18:43):
Let's drop out the bass, say h ring the face

(19:05):
back here.

Speaker 4 (19:12):
Is there is you? You loll you show it's very
crazy love.

Speaker 5 (19:22):
You well seem.

Speaker 4 (19:26):
Just you know you.

Speaker 5 (19:31):
Hadn't pretty dollars.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
Trying to make.

Speaker 4 (19:35):
You. Drums were.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
The things you don't know.

Speaker 4 (19:49):
They didn't know that.

Speaker 6 (19:59):
Because you coming in. We'll bring a little bit of
sense back in.

Speaker 3 (20:14):
So what I really like is yourself. It doesn't percussion
for the successful. For them, a little bit of bass

(20:36):
to get back to percussion.

Speaker 6 (20:54):
M cut a base out for a second. What did

(21:30):
it say? He's got some days? All right, we know

(21:54):
what he's been here said, Yeah you're bad. It's a

(22:48):
basic drums map.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Printmas let's ship.

Speaker 3 (22:54):
Let's bring it in.

Speaker 6 (23:19):
All right?

Speaker 2 (23:20):
All right, I wasn't gonna play the whole thing, but
my goodness, it's something about that. Man, let me mute this.
The bassline and the drums.

Speaker 6 (23:32):
For me, is what does that.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
I know, everybody's different. You got people that want to
hear the vocals, people that want to hear the all
the keyboards and the strings and all that stuff. But
those bass and drums in this song is just hitting in.
This is the best I could get. I probably could
get it better, but it's just amazing to me, man.
And to hear the way he was playing that percussion.

(23:55):
You gotta remember back in this time, this wasn't like
I can't come in here and use my machine and
this and that.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
And even though.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
I would prefer to record live, which I'm hoping that
once my drum room was done, I can do that,
and that's going to take some time, don't get me wrong.
But Prince was doing it. Prince was doing it and
to that level, and it's amazing to me because the
what it takes to do that is just amazing. So

(24:28):
I just wanted to display that for you and give you,
like to do a song breakdown. I want to like
to bring some other people, some guests in that that
may be recorded back in the day that can talk
more about it. And what it takes to do that.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
Excuse me, but it's just.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
Amazing to me. I think it's very It can show
you something when you break a song down and listen
to it. We all we all listen to music. We
all listen to the song and we know how amazing
they are and what they've done for us and this
and that, but to really break its song down and listen,
especially depending on what your preference is, Like I didn't

(25:11):
actually play the vocals by themselves, but I've been breaking
other songs down and listening and I'm just amazed at
the vocals and what it took to do these vocals man.
And we've all heard the stories and we know how
I used to lay on his back in the dark
and this and that at that time to be able
to get those vocals out. But just amazing in itself.

(25:34):
So there you have it. That's just as long as
we're together, broken down and I'm sorry I talked to it.
Just couldn't help it. But that's this is a podcast.
As a show, we don't want to I can go
on the radio station just play songs, but here we
want to talk about them a little bit and get
into them a little bit deeper. And also, again, what

(25:55):
does the songs do for you? These particular songs from
this period of time really did something because it's amazing
at his age at it. It gave you that feeling
like I can do anything because of what I heard
him do at that and never gonna be at that level.
But you can be something, you can be somebody, you

(26:18):
can do something because of what he presented in that
musical world. And there's people that all over you pick
any form of entertainment that people look up to as
an inspiration to say, I can do something more. I
don't have to just be what I am today. And
even though that's good enough and that might be the best,

(26:38):
but you can always strive to do more.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
You can be better.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
You can take what you're doing and be better at it.
So sometimes we look at these songs and this music
and got to find it that that's what it does
for me. It makes me want to strive to do better.
So I'm gonna go to the next segment and we'll
talk to the other side. I gotta switch this so
I hope you're enjoying it. This is Love for one

(27:02):
another podcast. I'll be right back, all right, and here
we are. That was a quick break. It's always nice
to be able to pause stuff and come on back.
But we are going to do this half hour show
because it's a song breakdown. We are talking about love
for one another and we touched on that a little bit,
and this is the song breakdown version. We took care

(27:24):
of that with Just as long as We're Together by
Prince off his first album for You, and we'll be
talking more about that in the coming future. But we also,
like I said, we also want to touch on other
music that made you feel good, songs that we remember
from the past, if you weren't around at the time,
if you weren't around in the eighties, and maybe you're

(27:47):
kind of listening here, like this is a lot of
old stuff. It's a good you know, just take take
the venture with us. It's to make you feel good,
it's to make you feel positive. It's also to showcase
what was around and what was good and make have
hopefully turn you on to something maybe weren't familiar with,

(28:08):
or maybe you heard your parents play it in the
past and you're like, I remember those songs, but it's
not something that you're into. That's okay, But when we
play these songs, we break them down and we talk
about feeling good about music. Maybe you can listen to
it and just say, you know what, those to be
honest with you, they were good songs, and I understand

(28:30):
today's music it may not be everything that we feel
us older people is something to compare to its generations change.
Music changes, and that's a good thing. It's okay. It's
a positive thing. There's nothing wrong with it. If it's
what makes you feel good, listen to it, love it,

(28:51):
learn everything about it. It may not be as technical
as in the past because nowadays things are changing, but
that's technology. It's going to change. In fact, one of
the topics we're going to talk about in the future
is about how music changes and with the times and
with technology, and a lot of people talk bad about it,

(29:13):
and I'm one included. Sometimes I'm just like, because the
substance isn't there, or the or the the years it
took to learn an instrument or the time it took
to learn to produce a song and put things together.
But this is the world we're living in. You can't
go back, you can't go backwards. You've got to be
able to learn how to go forward and how do

(29:34):
we go forward with the new technology, but respecting the
work that was done in the past. And this is
one of the avenues learn from learn from the old
stuff and uh and projected into the new stuff. And
and I'm not talking about just sampling and this and that,
but also what it took to make that music and

(29:58):
whether the style changes, whether it's something that we agree
with or not, that's okay. Like I said, music is
going to change, and that's just the way things go.
I mean, it's happened all through time. You can't stop it.
And I don't think we should stop it. We should
just remember it and respect it and and give me

(30:18):
just a second. I'm gonna pause this just for a second,
all right, and we are back. And that's what I
like about being able to take a break for a minute.
And like I was saying, this is feel good time,
feel good music. And for those that are wondering and
anybody that's ever DJed and wants to DJ. For you
youngsters out there, I'm going to give you a song

(30:39):
from the same time period that we've been playing the
print songs right now, and this song is always a
number one man, you got to play this, and you know,
it depends on what you're doing. Don't get me wrong.
If you're playing for a party and people want to dance.
And this is one of those old school songs. It
was from the same time period. Great song and great energy.

(31:02):
It makes you feel good. This is Taste of Honey
with bogg We're gonna get it started right now.

Speaker 6 (31:08):
And uh we'll see you right after this.

Speaker 9 (32:10):
In the thing, give me your to to Bogain. Oh boy,
got newsy.

Speaker 5 (32:26):
Bad man must lookin. Let's tell you you are no
exception to.

Speaker 10 (32:40):
You know, as we got a brigade again, get your
dass game, look in the bar, look in the mall.

Speaker 5 (32:54):
You again, Bargain?

Speaker 3 (33:09):
All right?

Speaker 2 (33:09):
That was Taste of Honey with Boogie ugi Ugie. Sounds funny,
but I'll tell you she was killer on bass. You
got to watch those videos and research the music. It's
all for a good time and that's what it made
you do. I'll tell you. When I DJed, that was
a given, just how to play it. And it was
one of those songs that always got the people dancing,

(33:31):
always had got them having a good time. Even though
it was a different time, it still worked and it
still works today. I believe good music is good music
can't beat it. So we've talked about about this whole
concept of love for one another and what it does
for people and what it can do for you. It really,

(33:54):
it really can. It really can change things. And I'm
telling you one of the things is how do you
be true to it and really really make it work
for you? Because one of the things that's the hardest
thing to do is that we lie to ourselves.

Speaker 3 (34:14):
Right.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
We can say we're going to do something, but we
really we really don't. It's just like dieting. I'm telling you,
one of the hardest things to do is to diet
and don't lie to yourself. There's people that get into it,
and they get in when you see them going to
the gym all the time and they're so focused. There's

(34:36):
a reason for that. They got to be focused. You
have to be because if you don't, you're gonna fail.
And it's okay to fail, but then you get back
on it. And I'll tell you for years growing up
when I was young man, you know, like everybody else

(34:56):
every other story, it's.

Speaker 3 (34:57):
Easy to do.

Speaker 4 (34:58):
Man.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
You can gain weight, lose weight. Some people weren't it
wasn't as easy but some people. I mean I used
to run, I used to ride bikes, I used to
work out, I was in the gym all the time,
and it was really a way of life. You had
to be in it. You had to keep doing it,
and you can't stop because once you stop, you just
start gaining weight or you get out of that shape
that you were in. And even in my forties when

(35:23):
I started boxing, and that was hard to get back
into because I was out of shape and it took time. Man,
I would telling you I was throwing up.

Speaker 6 (35:34):
I was.

Speaker 5 (35:36):
I was.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
It was hard because there's a lot of youngsters, you know,
and you get in a fitness class and like I
was fitness before you know it, you're pretty much boxing
because you can't really do one or the other. I
guess you can, but you got the main group you're
with has to be doing the same thing. In the
main group I was with was boxing, so me and
this other guy. The other guy was in his fifties
and at the time I was in my forties and

(35:58):
he was. I took him as an inspiration because I
was trying to keep up with him. So so it
was a tough run but after about I did it
for about three almost four years of boxing, and I
was in the best shape. I can't say the best
shape of my life, but I was in great shape.

(36:19):
And still, you know, I never got my six pack back.
I never got all that back as to when I
was young. And that's okay, but I gave it a run.
Now I'm in my fifties and I'm like, man, I
got to do something again because I'm falling behind. So
this is what I mean by where's your dedication on
what you're going to do and how you're going to

(36:40):
do it. Something that's easy is it sounds love for
one another. If you got to force it, then something's wrong,
right like anything. If you got to force it, then
something's wrong. But if you find it in your heart
and you really find that you it starts becoming easy.
It starts becoming like a day thing, like wow, I

(37:01):
don't really have any animosity toward these people, toward my people,
toward somebody I see on the streets, toward getting cut
off on the freeway. Used to Oh my god, it
used to be the worst thing ever. I used to
just go crazy. Now it's a point of you know what, man,
he must want it more than me, and I'm still

(37:22):
going to say something, but I'm not gonna chase them
or get mad or yell at him and stuff like that.
And it's made my life easier. It took away that
stress of that anger. You know, angers are their angers.

Speaker 3 (37:39):
Are very.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
What's the word I'm looking for. It's a very easy
thing to get caught into. And it's a simple exit anger. Right, Man,
I got to extend this again. I'm you know, I
gotta get I gotta get my timing down on the
recording on different devices, so I'm not man, I got
a lot of editing to do. So anyway, I'm going

(38:05):
to pause this for a minute.

Speaker 6 (38:06):
I'll be right back with you.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
And I'm back. I tell you I'm trying to give
this is gonna be Bear with me, man, I'm telling you,
it's been a while since I've done this, so I
got to catch up with technology. So anyway, So, like
I was saying, it's something that you got to find
your space, you got to find how do I get
to this without lying to myself? Because I can go

(38:37):
out any day and say today I'm going to be
so love for one another. I'm really going to practice
what I preach, and throughout the day, I'm like, ah,
this and that and I forget about it and blah
blah blah. All this stuff happens. We all have lives
that we live that you get caught up and you're like,
I don't got time for that, right, But it takes

(38:58):
away from your own self being, Like, you know, do
I really have this anger toward people? We see it
all day long. We see it all day long. There's
a lot of anger out there. It's not healthy. It's
not healthy as for ourselves. It's not healthy as a society,
the anger in the in the laughing about things. I

(39:23):
love to laugh a a man. I love comedy. I
love slapstick. I love to laugh at things that happen
to myself throughout the day. But the one thing I
don't like is to laugh at other people's pain. Now,
mind you. I find things that I see funny on
social media, like people tripping and falling, and you know,

(39:43):
that's just comedy. I don't like when they get hurt,
like hurt hurt, Like there's videos where people Why am
I getting this on my social media? But comedy comedy
is okay. Comedy is funny. And here's the thing. Don't
get don't don't get me wrong. Whatever I'm saying is that,
oh well you should do that, you do whatever makes
you happy.

Speaker 3 (40:04):
Man.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
What I'm doing is trying to reach out to people
that are trying to find that ground of how do
I how do I live this life of acceptance and
stop trying to judge people and be more about the
love for one another, loving people as people because people
just trying to get by, trying to survive, and stop

(40:27):
having this animosity toward toward people and living their lives,
you know, because there's a lot of problems with that
that comes. We see it all day long, the judgment
of people of what they're wearing, what they're doing, who
they're with, if they're if they're in a same sex marriage,
if they're in a or they're in a biracial marriage,

(40:48):
or if they're in you got right now, we got
all this stuff in the streets. We got people rushing
to join.

Speaker 3 (40:59):
To go and.

Speaker 2 (41:03):
And kick people out of this country. And we see
that and it's like, man, I'm just I got my
heart hurts right and we have there's this issue right
now with when, especially for guys if you say that,
then you're looked at upon a certain way. So there's
some people that still live in that fear of I

(41:23):
can't be seen this way. I can't look like I'm
weak or somehow that that I'm giving into this woke.
You know, they got all these names that they give it, titles,
and it takes away from your just your basic feelings.
Just because I feel a certain way, it doesn't mean
that you got to put me in this category. And also,
and everybody's making fun of you and laughing at you,

(41:44):
and you get people calling you names and this and that,
and that's like, man, we don't we shouldn't be living
in that time no more. That was a time when
we were younger and and to be still doing that
just doesn't make any sense. So so sometimes it's okay
to say, you know what, I want to get past
that and beyond that. And you know, I get it.

(42:06):
It's a tough road to take and we we we're
not sometimes we're just not strong enough, myself included. It's just,
you know, it's a tough road. So here we are
back at music. How does it make music make us
happy and make us feel good and get us past
just get us through the day. Man, I want to

(42:26):
just get through the day. And a lot of us work,
we can't hear it. My phone keeps on making noice.

Speaker 1 (42:32):
What's going on anyway, So.

Speaker 2 (42:38):
Just trying to navigate. And that's the point, right, So
we're gonna read some things that I got some other
stuff planned that we can get into and and really
get into how we feel as far as things that
people have wrote in the past and to help you,
you know, and a lot of it's just inspirational stuff.
It's not like they put it out and said, hey,

(42:59):
if you read this, you're going to be a better person. No,
it's just people's thoughts. Like a lot of this is
just thoughts and how do we feel about certain things.
If we get somebody today that we see changing their
way of thinking in real time. If you take somebody
like Joe Rogan. Here's a guy that I thought was

(43:20):
funny in the past, and he had some shows and
fear factor and stuff, and I was like, all right,
I kind of liked the guy. And then he got
kind of political and he started this podcast and he
started doing really well and became an entertainer in that form.
Didn't agree with what he was doing anymore and what
he was saying, and then recently you see him kind
of changing again because he's like, wait a minute, some
things are wrong. So you're watching this, you're watching people,

(43:45):
and depending on where you stood on it, like, wow, okay,
I liked him before, I don't like him now, i'd
like them. Why is he changing? I don't like what
he's saying now. So you're just instead of looking at
maybe him as a person, why he's changing and why
he's thinking a certain way and saying you know what,
Sometimes you separate what the person perceived what perception was,

(44:14):
and put in the human factor, and sometimes it takes
people time to figure that out. And I'm not judging
the dude. I don't know him from whatever. And I
don't listen to a show all the time. I listen
to some episodes to try and understand what I'm talking about.
But at the same time, I'm not a fan, but

(44:35):
I do like that he's showing some humanity, and that's
what we need everybody to show, just a little bit
of humanity.

Speaker 4 (44:44):
Man.

Speaker 2 (44:44):
If you can show a little bit of humanity, then
you can start getting we can start getting that change
we're looking for.

Speaker 3 (44:51):
Right.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
It might not be exactly what we want, but we
just want people to care about other people, care about
what's going on in their lives and what's happening and
what's happening around us, so we can try and have
a better society. I don't think we're going to see
it in our lifetime, to be honest with you, I
just don't. I think our time comes and goes. I'm

(45:13):
hoping that there's something more afterward. We'd like to believe
that because I feel like this is our chance to
try and learn right. I like to be like we're
learning right now so we can strive to be something better,
whatever it might be in the future. I don't know.
I don't know. I don't think there's a specific great answer.

(45:35):
But if we're failing now to just do the basic
basic thing of being there for each other, how do
we advance beyond this life? If we can't be here
right now for each other. We're living in a world

(45:58):
where we we're rather separate people and we're not caring
about how they're treated. That's not even a concern. I'm
not going to say everybody. I've seen a lot of
people out there that do care, but when you have
two different forces fighting against each other. Like if you
have nothing but positive energy, then you get a positive outcome.

(46:19):
But when you have positive and you have negative.

Speaker 6 (46:21):
What happens?

Speaker 2 (46:22):
They push each other away?

Speaker 3 (46:23):
Right, So you're.

Speaker 2 (46:28):
To think that we're going to reach this plateau of
some great future, great outcome. I don't see it happening
in this lifetime. But along the way, I think we
can try and strive to have something better for ourselves
or make ourselves better people. So it's a practice. It's

(46:50):
a practice. Let's just keep practicing it and maybe we
can get there.

Speaker 3 (46:54):
Right.

Speaker 2 (46:55):
So I'm hoping that somewhere in the future we can
see this that if we all push for it, if
we all aren't afraid to say it, if we're not
afraid to be part of it, Like, don't worry about
what side you're on, if you're you know, we've created
this is the worst I've seen it. There's nothing new though.

(47:17):
All through time, there's always been this side in that side,
red and blue. There's always been I mean, you can
you know you go through all through time, there's always
been the separation, and the easiest way for people to
get what they want is to keep people separated. When
people come together, it's not a positive thing for the people.
For people who want to benefit from it, right, and

(47:39):
I'm talking about benefiting financially. If somebody wants to benefit
it from it in their personal life to make them
feel better, then you want that unity. You want people
to be together. When you have people together, when you
have people coming together, you have something bigger. You have
something something that things can't change. You can't change to

(48:03):
a negative. When you have so much positive going on,
it takes time, and they got to break you down
and break you down until you just start people start
giving in. But when it's a natural occurrence, when things
are just happening and people are coming together, then it's
a stronger force than the negative side. I don't know
if you've experienced that. I've seen it in my own

(48:27):
personal life. When I had so much positive going on,
there's just I just had this feeling of positive. Everything
just kept on hitting man. It's like, Wow, I'm not
talking about like, oh I want a lot, oh and
I won at the casino and stuff like that, because
I wasn't concerned with with the positive things that happened
in my life to be of some type of personal

(48:49):
financial gain. I was looking at it like what positive
things are going to happen in my life to just
make things better? Make things better? You got to stop,
like what's your expectation? Is your expectation that the better
life means that you're going to have more in your pocket?
Or is your expectation like I feel like something good

(49:10):
is going to come along, and you're waiting for this
big sign, Like we're all waiting for this big sign
from God and we're just we have this expectation that
when it comes, it's going to be so big that
it's just going to be blinding and you're gonna be
like you can't avoid it. But you know what, sometimes
you gotta think it might be happening now. Even as

(49:31):
bad as things are, man, as bad as this world is,
sometimes you got to look around you and say, man,
you know what, I'm walking, I'm waking up, I'm living,
I'm breathing, I'm doing things that some people can't do.
I'm living this life and sometimes it's really hard. Like

(49:51):
sometimes things are really hard, but I get through my day.
The next day comes, I'm still here, the people I
love are still around me. I'm like, you know and
then we lose people along the way. That's true, but
sometimes you got to take those those things that are happening.
And however, if you're if you're a if you're a
person of faith, and you take it as a blessing,

(50:12):
if you're a person that just believes in good karma,
then you take it as man, I've been positive in
my life. I feel good about other people. I got
to take the wins and push for more, Like just
be like, Okay, this was great. Don't look at it
as like like, man, why don't I have better? Why
don't I have more? Maybe the better is your health,

(50:34):
Maybe the better is the people around you. It doesn't
always have to be financial. We all would like that,
of course. And why I'm telling you money don't solve
Money solves the immediate problem, but it don't solve the
problem in your soul. It's not going to cure that
whatever you're is illing you. You know, money is something

(51:02):
that wasn't part of the plan, you know. I think
the plan was to see how people take care of
each other, See how you care for each other, see
how you love and one another. Can you do it?

(51:22):
Can we as people accomplish that goal?

Speaker 3 (51:26):
And they were.

Speaker 2 (51:26):
Throughout history, we've succeeded and we have failed, and we
have failed in a drastic way man to where we
are purposely hurting people on purpose all through the time.
It's been something that's happening if you look at it
right now, we are building camps to hurt people. Now

(51:50):
on what degree? Oh well, we're just holding them, you know.

Speaker 3 (51:55):
But that's.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
Putting people in a negative situation when they were already
in a negative situation to begin with. So we're not helping.
We're not lending that handout to help your neighbor, to
help somebody get through a difficult time. So where is
the positive going to come from this? What positive outcome

(52:20):
is going to come from the negative projection of what
you're doing? And we as people, we may not be
part of it, but it's happening right right at this time,
and everybody's gone through it throughout time. There's been atrocities,
there's been things. So how do we navigate that and

(52:41):
get to you know, we can all we can also
of course say things like oh that's the law of
this and that, but we need to get to a
place to where we go Wait a minute, these are people,
how do we want to treat others and be positive,
be positive, be a positive so anyway, so it's something

(53:02):
to think about. We're gonna keep touching on it through
every show, of course, because that's the topic of the show.
But we also want to talk about great music and
what music does for you in this aspect and how
it associates to being part of something bigger, something better.
So if you're here, you know, to listen and to
try and grasp to what we're saying and what I'm

(53:25):
talking about, but also to talk about the music. And
I'm glad we were able to break down a song.
It was only a do a half hour show and
I'm glad that it turned out to be more so anyway,
So this is the love for one another podcast YouTube.
Now I'm trying. I'm gonna try. I hopefully I can
edit this to make it look good and get it

(53:45):
up on YouTube and also put it on the radio
stations so people can listen and just happen to have
a radio station.

Speaker 3 (53:55):
What do you know?

Speaker 2 (53:55):
And I want to thank everybody on there, Chris Pharronow
for Real Music Radio and mister Dj Jedi from the
Minneapolis Sound Radio and everybody that's affiliated with all of this.
There's so many names, but of course Marty and jelly Bean.

Speaker 6 (54:11):
I thank you for.

Speaker 2 (54:14):
Really being part of what makes me push harder because
of how much you guys help people and have been
there for people and done things for people and in
this aspect and it means a lot. So and DJ Jedi,
which you've done, and Chris Farnow solid as a rock
just you know, can't say anything better about them, and

(54:37):
all the other people that have helped in the past.
There's so many people that have been part of this
and been part of making this grow. So I want
to thank you. And I usually end with a song,
but I think I'm running out of time, so if
I can check a song in here at the end,
something to again show that just feel good, feel good

(54:59):
for few minutes, man, why not? And I'm gonna put
something on here at the end for you and I
will see you next time, next show. Until then, you guys,
take care and for the people that are watching, I
don't know, was it okay watching me for was long?
