1
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:27.480
You're number one for classic radio listening.

2
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:30.760
If you're listening to back to the eighties.

3
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:38.000
You're like Nixon. Okay, Nixon across the table from me. Everybody,

4
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:42.240
I didn't record a thing. They wouldn't Matchane, you said

5
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:44.920
I did. You made a joke about us that we

6
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:48.200
fucked on the radio.

7
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:53.039
Ladies and gentlemen with me is a man who claims

8
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:58.520
loyalty to Meddle, but somehow owns not one, not two,

9
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:02.719
but the entire hitting collection of the Cure albums and

10
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:03.280
the Smiths.

11
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:05.079
Oh my, Ladies and gentlemen.

12
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:11.040
He is the man, the myth, the mascare resistant mystery,

13
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:16.040
the only guy who will be headbanging in Republic, but

14
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:20.200
emotionally he will be Diane seeing the spiral, just like

15
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:24.439
Dave Gone from depeche Mode, My best friend in the world,

16
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:25.640
the chag.

17
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:27.280
Like that.

18
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:32.599
No, I enjoy a good lie every now and then. Yes,

19
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:35.400
I enjoy a bad movie every now and then. Yes,

20
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:38.760
But that was a bad lie, worse than any bad

21
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:43.239
movie or lie put upon me by a good friend. Well,

22
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:48.400
I have not been desecrated as bad as that within

23
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:54.760
the few seconds of a car commercial time as you well,

24
00:01:54.840 --> 00:02:01.719
and my response to you is if I could climb

25
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:05.439
over the board and beat you, beat you with your

26
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:10.960
own hands, I would do that, but I cannot because

27
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:16.199
I am suffering from trump itis. Oh, I have been

28
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:22.080
devastated by the lies. Just like Trump, You, my friend,

29
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:29.280
have now become the Donald Trump, Dick Nixon, all forever

30
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:39.639
spreading numerous faltism and recording only to where you are

31
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:44.280
the champion. You, my friend, are probably the kind of

32
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:51.680
guy that records Bohemian Rhapsody, sings every part, and then

33
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:55.800
patch yourself in the back. That's who you are listening to,

34
00:02:55.879 --> 00:03:00.520
Boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, Back to the eighties

35
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:09.639
radio family. Let not your enemy sling one rock. Let

36
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:13.439
your enemy sling many rock to tire themselves out, and

37
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:17.199
then you will pick up those same rocks and knock

38
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:19.560
the beast down. Wisdom.

39
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:24.360
Very good, my friend, and ladies and gentlemen. That's right,

40
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:29.199
Welcome to back to the eighties race.

41
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:32.039
Right Friday Friday party A right time.

42
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:38.360
Right we get.

43
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:45.879
Quinn time if you're ready.

44
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:51.840
Now, Toscano, before we start the show, I I I

45
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:54.560
want to say something. I think you're like snow white

46
00:03:55.960 --> 00:04:01.639
to think of all the preposterous events, situations, likes and

47
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:07.240
dislikes of myself. You must be sleeping in a land

48
00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:10.960
of hate. And you know that's not the mushrooms talking either.

49
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:14.639
Well, ladies and gentlemen, we like to give Chang pats

50
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:17.519
on the back once in a while, even when he

51
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:22.360
is yes, we're sorry to say because of age.

52
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.600
Now wait a minute, I am going to sue you

53
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:29.839
for that. That's a defamation right there, and you were

54
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:31.519
the king of defamation.

55
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:33.920
Well, ladies and gentlemen, did you ever get that feeling

56
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:37.079
like you've like you've seen this before, Like the world

57
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:40.600
is moving forward, but somehow it keeps looking back. I mean,

58
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:44.600
look around, turn on the radio, those synths of the past,

59
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:47.720
those melodies, and then compare it to the new sound

60
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:52.519
that everybody's so called is talking about. Yeah, we were

61
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:55.439
already there, at least Chang was when Depeche Mode and

62
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:59.279
Duran durand were doing it and doing it better. But

63
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:02.680
today you walk into a store, there are no Neon colors,

64
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:06.759
no oversized jackets, no bold prints. And yet they're calling

65
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:11.920
it fresh, they're calling new energy. You could crank up Metallica,

66
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.560
you can crank up Take on Me with the windows down,

67
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:17.319
you put on your mixtape.

68
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:17.959
And you bought it.

69
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:21.959
Well yeah, okay, yeah, don't don't make it sound like

70
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:26.079
you're not a lover of new wave and and alternative.

71
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:26.600
You are.

72
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:29.399
You are that record that says the smith's in the

73
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:32.800
back with a little candle next to pet shop boys.

74
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:35.680
You know, yes, I don't know what you're looking at it.

75
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:40.480
I think you needes so drinking the homemade wine that

76
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:42.680
you and your sons make, because I know you're those

77
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:48.519
crazy Italians. You guys are making wine and you're taking

78
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:49.800
beds at horse races.

79
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:54.199
We are circling back to a time that wasn't so

80
00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:57.560
hard to be anything. It was just a time when

81
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:01.439
we were diving into the sound of music and the

82
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:08.040
artistry of the creativity of how bands used to be,

83
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:11.519
even the stuff Dad Chang pretends to hate. Somehow it

84
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:15.399
became the blueprint for the world for what the world

85
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.360
is calling new in twenty twenty six. So we're gonna

86
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:19.720
break it down. We're gonna have a little fun with

87
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:23.399
it and expose a few people along the way, especially

88
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:28.079
my co host Deer, because coming up, coming up, we're

89
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:33.360

that song on that album and then take us where

121
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:15.919
you want to take us. How was that sounded like

122
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.000
a smart guy? Instead was smart ass?

123
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:19.039
Oh?

124
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:22.120
I see you don't want to sound like you. I see.

125
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:30.080
Oh, wait, perfect the NFL. How am I sitting in

126
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:33.679
the NFL all of a sudden flagged that there there's

127
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:36.039
no fall, there's no fall. I don't know what you're doing.

128
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:39.000
You want to get back to the eighties, Back to

129
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:42.279
the eighties radio that was, wait, are we doing one

130
00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:42.919
or two songs?

131
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.799
Let's just do the one because you're already loved?

132
00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:49.840
Okay, the one final drink in the morning.

133
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:51.799
I'm drinking wine in the morning.

134
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:55.960
All right, here we go back to the eighties radio.

135
00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:02.440
Prince with the song that he originally gave to a

136
00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:07.799
band called Mazarati, and when he heard what they did

137
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:11.039
with it, he took it back and made it his own.

138
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:14.000
Bet you didn't know that chang and turned it into

139
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:17.720
the number one hit we all know on the Billboard

140
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:21.639
Top one hundred of nineteen eighty six, a song called

141
00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:24.600
kiss You Gotta Love Prince Man.

142
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:27.559
Dude, you gotta love Prince. You know what's funny? I

143
00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:30.320
think a good topic. One day we should battle Prince

144
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:35.679
against Michael and both of us love and appreciate both artists.

145
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:39.399
I think both artists are equal in their own type

146
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:47.360
of genre of music, similar strengths, similar talents. I myself

147
00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:50.600
you know, I love the King of Pop, Michael Jackson

148
00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:53.399
Jackson five. I grew up with the Jackson five and

149
00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:58.200
then the xerox copy the Osmonds. But that's another show.

150
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:05.080
But Prince, come on, Prince. Prince, you know, was laughed at,

151
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:08.759
not taken serious, you know, for his height, the way

152
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:14.600
he dressed. And then he just like Prince came upon

153
00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:20.840
us in the eighties like a Mohammed Ali comeback where

154
00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:23.919
you're getting pounded, pounded, pounded, and then all of a

155
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:26.679
sudden you do the ropodope, dope, dope dope, and you

156
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:30.720
start swinging for the fences. I mean, and Prince took

157
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:35.320
it to a limit that no one had seen. Awesome music.

158
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:39.320
He crossed the pond where it could be. It's funkadelic,

159
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:43.000
it's dance worthy, a lot of rock and roll, a

160
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:47.360
lot of comparison to like a funky dance type Jimmy Hendrix.

161
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:52.639
Oddly enough, he was a badass guitar player. I mean,

162
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:54.840
the dude grew up role.

163
00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:58.120
Prince is one of the Believe it or not, Prince

164
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:02.320
is registered as one of the greatest guitars of all

165
00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:07.360
time and for every single good reason. By the way,

166
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:10.799
when in eighty six, he came out with Kiss, which

167
00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:14.039
became a number one hit. He basically stripped things down

168
00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:16.360
in eighty six, but he had already broken all the

169
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:19.120
rules in eighty four when he came out with the

170
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:22.480
album Purple Rain. And not only did he come out

171
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:25.159
with the album Purple Rain, which by the way, had

172
00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:28.320
my favorite song of all time from Prince, which is

173
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:31.399
when Doves Cry, but he also came out with the

174
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:35.440
movie Purple Rain. So Prince and Apollonia, you got to remember,

175
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:37.559
remember that Prince and Apollonia.

176
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:41.639
Oh yeah, he was also with Vanity and Sheila. Sheila,

177
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:47.600
what's her name? She lay Shea, Sheena Easton. I mean,

178
00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:50.399
you know, the dude was banging hot chicks and banging

179
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:55.600
out you know, great songs and hit poppers, you know,

180
00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:58.919
and he was banging out fashion. There was a time

181
00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:00.600
that Prince banged everything.

182
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:01.279
You know.

183
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:04.360
He was a chang banger, I'd like.

184
00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:09.600
To say, including his including his six inch heels. Listen.

185
00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:12.279

We'd love to read all about it now. If you

192
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:32.720
want to understand nineteen eighty six, you didn't just listen

193
00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:37.399
to it, you also watched it. As Chang will always deny,

194
00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:40.559
MTV was at its peak.

195
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:41.440
Now.

196
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:44.720
Videos weren't just promotion. They made this song and some

197
00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:47.200
of the songs that were really really hitting it big

198
00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:51.759
in nineteen eighty six with their videos. Chang the videos

199
00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:54.840
that everybody was talking about in eighty six Number one

200
00:14:55.320 --> 00:15:01.480
Peter Gabriel with Sledgehammer Robert Robert Palmer was addicted to

201
00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:06.240
love Take on Me by Aha, Why I Don't Know?

202
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:12.320
And your favorite of all time bon Jovie with Living

203
00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:13.200
on a Pray.

204
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.279
Holy crap, the shittiest song I ever heard of.

205
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:22.519
All and there it is. It wasn't too long, ladies

206
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:25.600
and gentlemen, before I knew the hater was coming. Unseene.

207
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:29.039
I'm proud to say that, I'll say it again, one

208
00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:33.200
of the shit shittiest rock and roll songs of all time.

209
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:37.360
Why Me, Okay, I want you to be dead honest

210
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:40.840
with me and with everybody listening. Why do you hate

211
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:44.080
bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet.

212
00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:48.120
Album so much because I cannot tell me the truth though,

213
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:51.519
what I'm gonna sit here and lie why I hate something.

214
00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:54.399
If I'm gonna I'm gonna lie, it's gonna be like, Oh,

215
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:56.720
it was the greatest song of all time. I loved

216
00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:01.919
everybody's hairstyle. Richie said, Borow was also now I would

217
00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:08.679
be lying. I did not like I don't like soft rock. Uh.

218
00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:18.000
I don't like music that caters more to what the

219
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:21.799
radio wants. So you have to kind of right find

220
00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:25.639
different emotions or make them up and then be classified

221
00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:28.399
just like obscurity of a metal you.

222
00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:29.320
I love you.

223
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:33.799
You're like my psychologist talking over me as I lay

224
00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:37.200
on the couch. I was kicked in the ball, I said,

225
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:41.000
by a one legged man. I see you kicked yourself.

226
00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:42.360
So you've been kicking.

227
00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:43.679
Are you listening to me?

228
00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:44.240
Doctor?

229
00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:49.279
So I just said you love obscurity. That's great. You

230
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:54.000
know there is a continue How can I how.

231
00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:58.039
Are you allowed to make that progm? I love obscurity?

232
00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:01.120
What the what the heck does that mean?

233
00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:06.200
I think you're angry because you had a wig. Taylor

234
00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:10.039
made like bon Jovi and Richie Sambora and you would

235
00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:14.240
wear that out. And you know what rockers don't wear, yeah,

236
00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:22.400
peny loofers like bon Jovii. Rockers don't carry aquinet like

237
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:23.039
bon Joe.

238
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:25.200
Oh no, they just wear wigs like kiss.

239
00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:26.240
No.

240
00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:28.680
Wait a minute here, I'm not a wait are you

241
00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:32.960
suggesting I'm a huge like just span and like I

242
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:36.039
dress up like that and oh I go to Aeron?

243
00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:39.839
Is that what you're suggesting? Now wait a minute here, Well.

244
00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:42.000
Your Dragonhels would say otherwise.

245
00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:47.960
Dragon Hills. Yes, yes, I wear those step on people

246
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:50.960
that claim bon Jovi is a great rock and roll Then.

247
00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:55.839
There I said. Okay, all right, so deep down inside,

248
00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:58.359
can we can we just lay one argument to rest?

249
00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:03.000
Can we do this chrse the fact that you hate

250
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:07.000
any music that's not obscure metal everything else you hate.

251
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:10.400
You even hate Metallica because they they were heard on

252
00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:13.039
the radio. Can we just put that argument around?

253
00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:17.359
No, no, no, no, that is all untrue. I do

254
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:21.839
not like certain bands in heavy metal. I believe heavy

255
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:32.039
metal was created from the foundations of Black Sabbath Judas Priest. Yes, okay,

256
00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:35.880
this goes back to the seventies. You know, you have

257
00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:39.920
groups like Thin Lizzy, kiss. You could put kiss in

258
00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:45.319
that type of a plateau too, But to me, kiss

259
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:48.640
was like watching the monkeys or hr puff and stuff.

260
00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:53.359
Oh my god, how did I just say?

261
00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:53.680
Wrong?

262
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:55.519
Ladies and gentlemen, I did not know.

263
00:18:55.720 --> 00:19:00.200
How could you? How could you knock kiss down? If

264
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:03.480
Gene Simmons, Gene, if you're if you're listening to the show,

265
00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:07.759
could you please? I think I think Gene Simmons has

266
00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:12.720
some words to say here for you. Look, everybody's exactly

267
00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:15.920
in the same kiss business as kisses in I went

268
00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:17.400
not like kiss, Yes you are.

269
00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:17.880
You do?

270
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:20.400
I admire more than myself nobody.

271
00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:21.680
Oh I'm stunning.

272
00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:23.920
There you go, from Jean's lemons, from.

273
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:29.480
Gen Lemmonds jeans. You know what I think his wife? Okay,

274
00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:32.960
you know Shannon Tate would say his nuts are like lemons.

275
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:36.559
Now, okay, all right, ladies, gentlemen, you heard it here first,

276
00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:41.880
from Jean Simmons mouth to your ears chain. All right,

277
00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:46.359
so we let's let's skip this. On a serious note,

278
00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:52.440
I I really enjoy bon Jovi's albums from back then.

279
00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:55.960
I feel really bad that he lost his voice. I

280
00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:59.519
feel really bad, but I have to admit, even though

281
00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:02.039
it was pop, yes, it was popular for a reason.

282
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:07.799
So is that your argument against that type of music

283
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:11.559
just because it's popular you don't like it? Yeah, that's it.

284
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:13.720
I was not a poppy guy.

285
00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:16.880
And the reason so you don't care about the musicality,

286
00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:19.279
you don't care about the lyrics, you don't care how

287
00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:21.559
good it sounds. You just okay, it's on the radio.

288
00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:24.599
I wait a minute, the last how good it sounds?

289
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:30.000
How good it sounds? It's poppy. Yes, when an artist

290
00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:36.559
goes poppy, it sounds good. It's catchy. When something is catchy,

291
00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:40.240
it becomes poppy. People won't get used to hearing it.

292
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:42.880
I believe there's a lot of parents out there that

293
00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:45.319
play certain music for their children, and then when their

294
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:47.599
children are out of the vehicles, they play the same

295
00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:51.920
damn music. I believe some parents get tricked on some

296
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:54.119
of the music their kids listen to, and they find

297
00:20:54.160 --> 00:20:57.920
themselves liking those artists and changing their ways. That does

298
00:20:58.039 --> 00:21:02.440
not mean I am not taking away that they are

299
00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:06.039
a talent to make it where every genre they are.

300
00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:10.559
But my dislike of pop is you don't have to

301
00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:16.480
have true talent or a true raw emotional song instrumental

302
00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:21.839
wise or really emotionally balanced wise, as long as you

303
00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:27.200
come up with the certain quirks that is catchy toe tapping,

304
00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:29.799
something that's going to pull on the hard strings, and

305
00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:31.839
there you have poppy.

306
00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:33.200
Okay, all right.

307
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:36.720
I come from a school where life is not poppy.

308
00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:40.119
Life is in your face, brutal. Anything could happen. You

309
00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:43.440
have to be ready for it. So I found that

310
00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:47.160
rock and roll, hear me out, blues, rock and roll,

311
00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:54.160
hip hop, metal, certain types of alternative would stem from

312
00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:58.079
punk rock. To me, I would favor all that. I

313
00:21:58.240 --> 00:22:02.359
even go back to Motown. I'm an Elvis kind of guy,

314
00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:06.279
because to me, that's like brutal, that's hardcore. I'm breaking,

315
00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:09.599
I'm breaking the chains. I don't like what's going on.

316
00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:11.839
So I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna roll this way.

317
00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:15.839
So the difference on why I like the music genres

318
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:18.000
I do in comparison to what I think of pop

319
00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:24.319
are to me with not hate of it being because

320
00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:29.319
it's that My hate is you sold out and it's

321
00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:33.880
a disgrace in society. My God has to be the

322
00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:35.640
same instead of.

323
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:41.079
So you're calling bands that had hits on the radio,

324
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:48.160
like Genesis, like Journey, like Chicago, like the Police, you're

325
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:50.440
calling them sellouts. Very nice.

326
00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:53.480
Okay, okay, okay, let me hold on.

327
00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:54.240
Is this on?

328
00:22:54.519 --> 00:23:01.039
Okay? Yes, groups like that are sellouts. Yeah, ah, sir,

329
00:23:01.880 --> 00:23:06.480
you know what, ladies and gentlemen on that note. This

330
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:08.359
is the one and only back to the eighties here

331
00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:11.599
from the album Slipper You Went Wet in honor of

332
00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:16.319
the most valiant Chang and his commentary here is living

333
00:23:16.359 --> 00:23:18.240
on a prayer bon Jovi.

334
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:05.559
For Dona the day, working both of man to bring

335
00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:06.640

00:24:13.960 --> 00:24:18.920
He says he got a old to know we got it.

337
00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:22.079
Doesn't make a different till we making that.

338
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:26.720
We got it each other, and that's an over.

339
00:24:28.599 --> 00:24:30.519
We'll get me a shock.

340
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:42.200
Wave to my man. We'll make a friend.

341
00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:44.400
Man.

342
00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:52.480

00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:55.279
Now he's old man?

344
00:24:55.839 --> 00:24:58.279
What is the tag of tops of true?

00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:29.599
But God can tell like a temper, no we got

00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:31.920

349
00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:46.000
We shad man?

350
00:25:46.599 --> 00:26:55.559
What yeah?

351
00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:58.960
What I thought that this country, you've got to make

352
00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:02.240
the money for us. Then when you get the money,

353
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:05.200
you get the power. Then when you get a fowl,

354
00:27:05.960 --> 00:27:07.039
then you get the woman.

355
00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:11.720
Fresh sippid fresh.

356
00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:15.599
I'd like to take this opportunity to say a few

357
00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:16.960
words about squirt fruit.

358
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:17.799
Squat fruit.

359
00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:20.519
Squirtfruit the delicious spirits of juice that makes.

360
00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:22.000
Squirt so refreshing.

361
00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:23.000
Okay, go ahead.

362
00:27:23.079 --> 00:27:25.240
Squirt fruit is the delicious spirits of juice that make

363
00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:27.000
squirt so refreshing.

364
00:27:27.119 --> 00:27:28.440
I had a feeling you're gonna do this.

365
00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:37.599
Cool SENSI squirts stand.

366
00:27:39.240 --> 00:27:41.440

367
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:42.680

00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:45.359
I don't know, but here's how you got it out.

369
00:27:46.920 --> 00:27:52.960

you must listen to Back to the eighties radio. It's

376
00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:14.680
the Law.

377
00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:16.839
Did you record that?

378
00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:17.200
Oh?

379
00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:19.559
Yes, I did, and I'm gonna put that during the break.

380
00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:22.119
Don't you come on?

381
00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:23.720
People will hate me.

382
00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:26.279
I'm going after somebody, all right. It's supposed to be

383
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:28.240
all about peace, isn't it funny?

384
00:28:28.839 --> 00:28:29.000
Yeah?

385
00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:30.920
You make me hate during the show, and then I

386
00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:33.799
tell everybody to go out there and love it, love

387
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:36.279
each other. I like bon Joey, go out there and

388
00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:37.960
hug him anyway and then punch him in the back

389
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:43.119
of the head and you walk away. Tape that tape that. Yeah,

390
00:28:43.559 --> 00:28:46.319
next time you're in the elevator listening to bon Jovi,

391
00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:49.440
reach over, hug that person and then shove your thumb

392
00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:50.000
up their ass.

393
00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:52.000
You're back to the eighties radio.

394
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:53.680
You just heard.

395
00:28:55.079 --> 00:28:57.680
West End Girls from the Pet Shop Boys went number

396
00:28:57.720 --> 00:29:00.519
one in the US and UK. Before that, you heard

397
00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:03.759
Living on a Prayer by bon Jovi. And as you

398
00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:07.720
can hear, the hater in the background is protesting, slamming

399
00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:11.680
his fist down while we get to enjoy music of

400
00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:14.160
all kinds. We don't just like what kind of music.

401
00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:18.079
We love it all wow, and we love it all wow.

402
00:29:19.160 --> 00:29:22.079
Well, you see you said it. But how come we

403
00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:25.880
can never talk about your hate of country? Why do

404
00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:26.599
you hate country?

405
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:27.759
Because I don't.

406
00:29:28.119 --> 00:29:28.599
I don't know.

407
00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:34.039
Now you can try to expose me and say that

408
00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:36.559
I am a hater of pop, but I am a

409
00:29:36.720 --> 00:29:41.440
disliker and I gave you valid, valid reasons on why

410
00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:46.279
I do not favor pop. I didn't knock it totally down,

411
00:29:46.359 --> 00:29:50.960
but I gave you valid reasons. Now I want three

412
00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:55.480
valid non prejudicial reasons.

413
00:29:56.079 --> 00:30:03.799
Why you, my friend, do not appreciate No? Why you? Hey,

414
00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:09.400
don't let hate be your face?

415
00:30:09.400 --> 00:30:09.720
All right?

416
00:30:09.880 --> 00:30:12.519
All right, are you ready? Are you ready? I'm gonna

417
00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:13.960
tell you why. First of all, I.

418
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:21.519
An I noticed that you did the Pam Bondy. You

419
00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:22.880
started looking at these notes.

420
00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:27.680
No, I'm not looking through that. I'm going to tell you.

421
00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:29.079
I'm want to tell you.

422
00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:32.839
His new name is a real BONDI.

423
00:30:36.359 --> 00:30:38.720
I'm want to give you very easy I used to

424
00:30:39.119 --> 00:30:47.480
like eighties with bands like the Oakridge Boys, Alabama America.

425
00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:51.200
There was other bands like that, but it was still

426
00:30:51.279 --> 00:30:55.720
rooted in country, not crossover trends like today. You had

427
00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:59.960
steel guitar, you had fiddle. Uh, you have this traditional structure.

428
00:31:01.200 --> 00:31:02.759
In the eighties, you didn't have to guess if it

429
00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:05.559
was country. You knew it within three seconds? Am I right?

430
00:31:05.640 --> 00:31:06.039
Am I right?

431
00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:06.240
No?

432
00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:12.720
You are on correct? Okay? Number two, number two storytelling

433
00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:20.000
in country music, all right was deeper. It was more

434
00:31:20.160 --> 00:31:23.359
human and less formula driven. Okay. And it wasn't written

435
00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:29.839
by forty five people. Okay, Okay, Wow, that's two number

436
00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:35.079
three artists for country music. My friend, they had a

437
00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:40.640
stronger How can I put this individual identity, both vocally

438
00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:46.160
and musically. You had people like Randy Travis, Hank Williams, Junior,

439
00:31:46.920 --> 00:31:52.200
George Strait. It was incredible, Dolly Parton, Reba McIntyre. I mean,

440
00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:55.400
the list goes on and on. Back then we followed

441
00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:57.880
the artist. Today they just follow playlist. They don't care

442
00:31:57.920 --> 00:32:00.519
about the artist, and the artists don't care about the artist,

443
00:32:01.119 --> 00:32:01.640
simple as that.

444
00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:04.799
Yeah, and I okay, now I agree with you. But

445
00:32:06.079 --> 00:32:10.519
that only answers the question of why you're old and

446
00:32:10.680 --> 00:32:11.759
you hate a new country?

447
00:32:11.799 --> 00:32:13.279
Oh my god, what is it?

448
00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:16.079
All of.

449
00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:21.200
A sudden word of hearing and the Mario Bondie He

450
00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:27.240
doesn't want to answer the question years did you dislike

451
00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:28.240
country music?

452
00:32:28.279 --> 00:32:30.079
Because I do? I just like it today?

453
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:34.160
You wait, no, early on, Well, no, I call hater.

454
00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:39.680
I know, I like, I like, I like Waylon Jennings, Yes,

455
00:32:39.839 --> 00:32:44.720
wal yes, you know. I wanted to bang uh Daisy

456
00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:48.920
do allipark that's daisy dude.

457
00:32:48.799 --> 00:32:51.119
No, I get it to stop it. I did, so

458
00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:54.119
did everybody else. You know, the question who doesn't like

459
00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:57.960
listening to uh? The devil went down to Georgia. I mean,

460
00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:01.599
come on, well, come on now, okay, who doesn't? So

461
00:33:02.200 --> 00:33:04.680
the point is it used to be good. I don't

462
00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:08.000
like country music anymore for those reasons they gave you,

463
00:33:08.279 --> 00:33:10.960
and I'm not going to go back on that period.

464
00:33:11.200 --> 00:33:14.559
I don't like it because it just doesn't have the

465
00:33:14.839 --> 00:33:17.039
soul that it once did. Period.

466
00:33:17.240 --> 00:33:19.720
I agree, just like there's not a lot of people

467
00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:23.039
that were going around with white hoods and white cheets anymore.

468
00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:25.480
Well, they're still around. Those are still Oh.

469
00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:28.079
Yeah, that's wait a minute, that's the name they use

470
00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:32.240
when you're cooling your drink. Ice ain't nice. You are

471
00:33:32.359 --> 00:33:35.640
listening back to the eighties radio with Tuscano and Chang.

472
00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:40.200
We're getting hard and heavy tonight. I have exposed Tuscano

473
00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:47.039
to be a minimal hater oh the country music genre. Although,

474
00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:51.160
ladies and gentlemen, please hit us at all our social networks,

475
00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:54.640
hit us on our Patreon page, and I'll give you

476
00:33:54.759 --> 00:34:00.920
the real answer behind his mask explanation to him why

477
00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:02.519
he did not like country music.

478
00:34:03.079 --> 00:34:06.200
Oh you you're gonna convent something out of thin air there?

479
00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:07.640
Do you see that?

480
00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:08.480
Boys and girls?

481
00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:14.840
It is very trump regimous. Yeah, okay, I didn't say that.

482
00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:19.880
I don't recall. Yeah, everybody had else hastily but me,

483
00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:24.440
because I don't like new country. Chang has no merit

484
00:34:26.039 --> 00:34:29.800
on putting me to hate old country. Oh dare he

485
00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:32.480
pull a Joe Biden card on me?

486
00:34:32.519 --> 00:34:35.119
To say, Ladies and gentlemen, we are talking about nineteen

487
00:34:35.239 --> 00:34:37.719
eighty six and all the good, bad and the ugly.

488
00:34:38.599 --> 00:34:41.800
The top three movies that I remember from nineteen eighty

489
00:34:41.960 --> 00:34:50.280
six Chang, Top Gun, Faris Wheeler's Day Off, which from

490
00:34:50.519 --> 00:34:52.880
nineteen eighty six was one of my favorites, and The

491
00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:55.760
Karate Kid Part two, which I couldn't care less for.

492
00:34:56.079 --> 00:34:57.719
You know what, I agree with you on that. I

493
00:34:57.800 --> 00:34:59.880
mean the Karate Kid. I mean, come on, I just

494
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:02.639
I couldn't do it. I mean that was to me,

495
00:35:02.800 --> 00:35:05.440
that was Arnold in Happy Days. All of a sudden,

496
00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:07.320
You're a coming. But the first one was good. The

497
00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:11.280
first one was good because it took us. That was

498
00:35:11.320 --> 00:35:13.840
a good family movie. And I thought that was a

499
00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:16.440
good movie to show kids that you can stand up

500
00:35:16.519 --> 00:35:19.280
to anything, just put your heart and your soul on

501
00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:22.239
it and have no fear. And it also gave that

502
00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:25.719
to where you listen to your elders. Elders can teach

503
00:35:25.760 --> 00:35:27.880
you something. We're in a way different.

504
00:35:27.599 --> 00:35:28.199
Era now, bro.

505
00:35:29.159 --> 00:35:32.199
You know, young people don't listen. They think we're crazy.

506
00:35:33.159 --> 00:35:35.639
So it was crazy. But I will agree with you

507
00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:39.719
Ferris Bueller. Dude, I love that movie. If I could

508
00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:45.280
have gotten away with what Ferris Bueller did, hell, we

509
00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:47.119
would be billionaires.

510
00:35:48.039 --> 00:35:48.760
Faris Bueller.

511
00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:53.440
Movies like Ferris Bueller, The Breakfast Club.

512
00:35:54.079 --> 00:35:56.800
Uh what, sixteen Candles, Weird.

513
00:35:57.280 --> 00:36:04.480
Candles, Weird Science, Pretty and Pink Mannequin. But Ridgemont High.

514
00:36:04.679 --> 00:36:06.679
Oh Fast Times at Ridgemont, Hi, Right.

515
00:36:08.119 --> 00:36:10.159
Movies like that, And they came out in the era

516
00:36:10.280 --> 00:36:13.960
where that was like totally grasped the mindset and the

517
00:36:14.039 --> 00:36:17.519
way it was in the eighties. And I think the

518
00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:22.000
storyline was perfect. We could all adhere to it. But

519
00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:25.440
it had a message. And I think, why move. That's

520
00:36:25.480 --> 00:36:28.199
why movies like that now we shared with our children.

521
00:36:28.719 --> 00:36:32.320
Why children look at them now? There's a good moral

522
00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:36.039
code to those movies. On top of being you know, insane,

523
00:36:36.360 --> 00:36:39.320
you go back into the nineties with mean girls. You know,

524
00:36:39.400 --> 00:36:41.760
I used to watch that with my girls, and you

525
00:36:41.840 --> 00:36:44.480
know they all learned a lesson not to be bitches.

526
00:36:44.800 --> 00:36:50.159
Okay, all right, but I mean, do you again? I agree?

527
00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:50.960
Pretty in Pink?

528
00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:54.519
Yeah, Look what about one of the most perfect eighties movies,

529
00:36:54.559 --> 00:36:56.679
although this came out in eighty five, not eighty six.

530
00:36:57.519 --> 00:37:00.159
That was Back to the Future, the very first one.

531
00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:03.679
Incredible flick out, one of the incredible, one of the

532
00:37:03.800 --> 00:37:09.480
few movies that Quentin Tarantino, the director, calls a perfect film.

533
00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:13.880
I would agree with him. I totally would agree with him.

534
00:37:13.960 --> 00:37:17.440
You know, the uh uh, all the work they put

535
00:37:17.480 --> 00:37:19.840
into it, you know what I mean, to make that

536
00:37:20.039 --> 00:37:22.599
car look like it's flying, you know what I mean,

537
00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:25.199
it was ahead of its time.

538
00:37:25.800 --> 00:37:28.079
The way that you know it looked believable.

539
00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:32.559
The settings of scenery, you know, as we both know,

540
00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:35.840
it was filmed in La of course, uh La Puente

541
00:37:35.840 --> 00:37:37.679
and Maul was a favor, and that a lot of

542
00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:42.320
streets in La Punta Cerritos were used. But it fed

543
00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:45.159
us because all of us could be that guy. That's

544
00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:49.000
the way the eighties were, you know. Uh, it took

545
00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:52.280
us on another level. It was like sci fi sci

546
00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:57.840
fi meets reality of a teenage kid. Yeah, it's classic, true.

547
00:37:58.159 --> 00:38:00.679
I mean, look at his outlook on him, his parents

548
00:38:01.000 --> 00:38:05.800
in that movie. It's funny, right, But he tripped out. True,

549
00:38:06.320 --> 00:38:08.360
he went back and saw that Wow, you know, my

550
00:38:08.480 --> 00:38:11.079
parents were dorks and this is what they were you

551
00:38:11.159 --> 00:38:15.840
know whoa it's a shock. It's almost like real quick

552
00:38:16.360 --> 00:38:20.079
when your kids see you and your wife or your

553
00:38:20.159 --> 00:38:24.800
spouse being a little hanky panky or talk about certain

554
00:38:24.920 --> 00:38:26.840
things or kiss in front of each other, you know,

555
00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:31.360
they trip out. That movie captured that without going full throttle.

556
00:38:32.159 --> 00:38:36.039
That was an epic movie. The Breakfast Club row epic

557
00:38:36.719 --> 00:38:40.599
that hit every kind of class of individual growing up

558
00:38:40.679 --> 00:38:44.840
in the eighties. All of us could adhere and understand

559
00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:49.679
and exactly like, man, that's the way I feel pretty

560
00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:51.840
in pink. Another movie, like you mentioned, was like that

561
00:38:53.559 --> 00:38:54.119
dating film.

562
00:38:54.159 --> 00:38:55.119
Did you ever see a movie?

563
00:38:55.800 --> 00:38:56.000
Yeah?

564
00:38:56.079 --> 00:38:59.400
Did you ever see a movie called Class with Rob

565
00:38:59.519 --> 00:39:06.360
Lowe and Andrew McCarthy from Mannequin You know what? No, No,

566
00:39:08.280 --> 00:39:11.000
So if you get a chance, and if you're listening

567
00:39:11.079 --> 00:39:13.400
out there and you haven't seen this film, it was

568
00:39:13.519 --> 00:39:19.320
Andrew McCarthy's first film. Rob low stars it as his

569
00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:25.360
co star, and it's about a lesser fortunate young man,

570
00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:30.079
you know, less money. That's Andrew McCarthy's character goes to

571
00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:34.559
makes it to this ivy league high school of sorts,

572
00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:38.840
and Rob low who is the rich kid, is his

573
00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:43.360
roommate and they both become best friends. And it happens

574
00:39:43.400 --> 00:39:48.440
to be that Rob low wants to have Andrew McCarthy's character,

575
00:39:49.280 --> 00:39:52.840
you know, unvirginized, so he sets him up to go

576
00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:57.599
to New York. And Andrew McCarthy meets a lady there

577
00:39:58.480 --> 00:40:01.920
that you know he'd be comes intimate with later to

578
00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:04.079
find out, and here's a spoiler alert. If you don't

579
00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:06.480
want to know about it, spoiler alert, turn it off.

580
00:40:06.760 --> 00:40:10.519
Go rent the movie, ah Rent, Go download the movie

581
00:40:10.760 --> 00:40:13.559
if you can find it, or buy it on DVD.

582
00:40:14.159 --> 00:40:18.480
But here's a spoiler alert. Andrew McCarthy sleeps with Rob

583
00:40:18.559 --> 00:40:23.239
Lowe's mom. So if you get a chance, check out

584
00:40:23.239 --> 00:40:27.519
the movie. It's called Class. It's a great eighties flick

585
00:40:28.440 --> 00:40:32.039
and it has a strong, strong message about friendship and

586
00:40:32.159 --> 00:40:37.920
overcoming big, big challenges. There was another movie in the

587
00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:41.480
eighties about college life, and that was Saint Elmo's Fire.

588
00:40:41.599 --> 00:40:45.519
Remember was a good movie. Yeah, that was like most

589
00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:47.719
of the brad Pack in that movie.

590
00:40:48.599 --> 00:40:51.280
Yes, that was exactly what I always.

591
00:40:50.960 --> 00:40:55.199
Thought that The television show Cheers kind of got a

592
00:40:55.320 --> 00:40:59.719
glimpse of that as a strug. Yeah, I guess Friends

593
00:40:59.840 --> 00:41:01.920
was not I mean, not Cheers but Friends.

594
00:41:04.079 --> 00:41:05.320
Yeah, Oh, I know what I mean.

595
00:41:05.440 --> 00:41:09.039
Yeah, kind of captured the essence of the bonds of

596
00:41:09.159 --> 00:41:16.039
friends growing up uh you know, high school, uh college,

597
00:41:16.360 --> 00:41:18.159
And if you think back, a lot of the great

598
00:41:18.280 --> 00:41:22.119
movies of the eighties captured that essence. A lot of

599
00:41:22.199 --> 00:41:25.079
them had to do with the bond of growing up

600
00:41:25.119 --> 00:41:29.360
with individuals, which is cool because most of us do that.

601
00:41:30.280 --> 00:41:35.239
Life itself and its situations events carry us off. But

602
00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:39.360
yet it's crazy. If you're very blessed or fortunate to

603
00:41:39.639 --> 00:41:42.199
encounter people you grew up with at the time before

604
00:41:42.280 --> 00:41:46.760
you knew who the fuck you really were, it's magical there.

605
00:41:48.159 --> 00:41:52.280
It is freaking freaking no I thought you were gonna

606
00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:53.079
go bom.

607
00:41:56.480 --> 00:41:57.280
Bomb coming.

608
00:41:59.679 --> 00:42:04.360
Then you're blessed to have that. Many people have that

609
00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:08.039
fortune of that blessing bro to be able to still

610
00:42:08.159 --> 00:42:11.639
keep in contact with people that they grew up with

611
00:42:11.840 --> 00:42:15.400
before they became who they are now, or people that

612
00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:18.599
were there in their life that helped them create who

613
00:42:18.719 --> 00:42:23.159
they are now. So movies like that are epic. Me

614
00:42:23.239 --> 00:42:27.440
and the old lady always watched eighty movies with the kids,

615
00:42:27.800 --> 00:42:30.239
and I got lucky. You do the same with yours.

616
00:42:30.679 --> 00:42:33.679
I got lucky. You know, I've got kids that think

617
00:42:33.840 --> 00:42:36.719
like they're from the eighties, born in the eighties, raised

618
00:42:36.760 --> 00:42:40.039
by eighties parents, and you know, they're good people. I

619
00:42:40.159 --> 00:42:42.639
know there's a lot of listeners out there that share

620
00:42:42.719 --> 00:42:47.079
the same thing. I think in the eighties we learned

621
00:42:47.119 --> 00:42:51.960
from our music, our acceptance, our movies to be better people.

622
00:42:53.679 --> 00:42:57.719
Absolutely one of the things that really made the eighties great.

623
00:42:57.760 --> 00:43:00.280
And since we're talking about eighty six in particular here,

624
00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:03.400
but this goes for all of the eighties. You know,

625
00:43:03.760 --> 00:43:07.559
we for the most part, for the most part, we

626
00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:11.760
didn't have cell phones. They were around, and the rich

627
00:43:11.800 --> 00:43:14.360
people did have them, but for the most part, we

628
00:43:14.440 --> 00:43:16.480
didn't have to worry about being on the cell phone

629
00:43:16.519 --> 00:43:19.679
all the time. We didn't have we didn't all have

630
00:43:19.920 --> 00:43:27.159
beepers until we got a little bit older. Yeah, identity

631
00:43:27.280 --> 00:43:31.159
was everything. People didn't follow trends. People were the trend,

632
00:43:31.360 --> 00:43:35.800
the big hair, the bold clothes, loud personalities. Speaking of

633
00:43:35.880 --> 00:43:41.559
loud personalities, how you doing chang Nobody nobody was. Nobody

634
00:43:41.639 --> 00:43:44.960
was trying to fit in. They were trying to stand out.

635
00:43:47.320 --> 00:43:50.400
The eighties were the best, but in eighty six, eighty

636
00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:53.840
six was one of those great years. Coming out from

637
00:43:55.199 --> 00:43:59.480
a great year of movies, a wonderful year of radio.

638
00:44:00.760 --> 00:44:03.920
I mean, come on, you had Madonna at her peak,

639
00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:12.000
Michael Jackson coming out with incredible music. Rock was still rock. Man,

640
00:44:12.039 --> 00:44:13.039
what a great year, you know.

641
00:44:13.159 --> 00:44:19.480
Touching upon what you said how trends started individualism, let

642
00:44:19.519 --> 00:44:21.400
me add this and let me see if you agree.

643
00:44:22.159 --> 00:44:29.559
I think that music was the ignition for people not

644
00:44:29.880 --> 00:44:35.159
being followers to one another on an everyday basis, but

645
00:44:35.440 --> 00:44:40.639
becoming free to be who they are with the musical

646
00:44:40.920 --> 00:44:43.440
artists and the music and the type of music the

647
00:44:43.480 --> 00:44:46.639
way it made them feel. Because you know me, bro

648
00:44:46.840 --> 00:44:50.800
I'll die a musical DJ. I mean, to me, music

649
00:44:50.920 --> 00:44:54.639
is everything. It captivates me, It heals me. It talks

650
00:44:54.719 --> 00:44:57.360
from my anger, my sadness, my worry.

651
00:44:58.320 --> 00:44:59.440
It puts me in.

652
00:45:01.119 --> 00:45:05.440
An intelligent mode. And I think that the eighties music

653
00:45:06.400 --> 00:45:12.360
kind of transcended to everybody out there a vibe of feeling,

654
00:45:12.639 --> 00:45:17.280
an emotion, and an open invitation for them to join

655
00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:22.000
be who they are, dressed like you want, love who

656
00:45:22.079 --> 00:45:28.440
you want, go where you want, treat others the way

657
00:45:28.519 --> 00:45:35.599
you want. And to me, that was the most captivating

658
00:45:35.719 --> 00:45:38.280
thing of the eighties, which I think made us transcend

659
00:45:38.480 --> 00:45:43.559
into becoming innovators and not imitators and real quick oh

660
00:45:43.599 --> 00:45:50.199
add you know our parents and were Elvis was kicking ass,

661
00:45:51.199 --> 00:45:54.559
you know, right. Also our parents came up from a

662
00:45:54.719 --> 00:45:58.079
big band. My grandparents came from the big band era.

663
00:45:58.719 --> 00:46:03.280
And if you break it down in generation genres of music,

664
00:46:04.679 --> 00:46:08.800
back then everybody was kind of captivated but stayed in

665
00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:12.239
the guidelines of the norm. You had the big band era,

666
00:46:12.440 --> 00:46:16.039
the brass true then you had kind of a little

667
00:46:16.079 --> 00:46:18.760
bit of a country gospel sound. You didn't step out

668
00:46:18.800 --> 00:46:23.480
of those bounds. You lived and dressed and your retired.

669
00:46:23.599 --> 00:46:28.000
That was of that type of following.

670
00:46:29.559 --> 00:46:32.519
Yeah, and also there wasn't too many genres of music.

671
00:46:32.840 --> 00:46:33.599
You got to remember.

672
00:46:33.639 --> 00:46:37.599
It wasn't until Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard you know,

673
00:46:38.239 --> 00:46:43.880
and James Brown that Alvis Presley came and shook things up.

674
00:46:44.320 --> 00:46:47.239
But even in those where it shook people up and

675
00:46:47.360 --> 00:46:51.199
made people feel a little free, everybody still stayed to

676
00:46:51.320 --> 00:46:51.920
that form.

677
00:46:52.719 --> 00:46:52.920
You know.

678
00:46:53.119 --> 00:46:55.719
It was like a taboo to step out, you know.

679
00:46:55.880 --> 00:46:58.199
Then you have the Beatles come in and the Rolling

680
00:46:58.320 --> 00:47:01.719
Stones and the Who and then things kind of took

681
00:47:02.679 --> 00:47:07.519
a step fashion wise, freedom wise, it standing up for

682
00:47:07.519 --> 00:47:11.440
your individualism pretty much on the basis of music. Would

683
00:47:11.440 --> 00:47:12.400
you not agree.

684
00:47:14.000 --> 00:47:18.440
Yeah, no, absolutely, I mean. And then fast forward to

685
00:47:18.519 --> 00:47:25.559
the to the eighties. Radio ruled. Okay, radio ruled, and

686
00:47:26.000 --> 00:47:29.760
if you're like changing myself that we are from Los Angeles.

687
00:47:30.920 --> 00:47:34.519
You had the biggest stations in the country competing against

688
00:47:34.599 --> 00:47:38.639
each other from New York and l A competing against

689
00:47:38.760 --> 00:47:41.719
the other side, which is you know, Florida. But it

690
00:47:41.880 --> 00:47:46.519
was mostly La. LA was King and New York stations

691
00:47:46.679 --> 00:47:50.599
like you know k M E T, Kiss FM, k

692
00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:55.039
R o Q Power one of six koos, and you

693
00:47:55.159 --> 00:48:01.400
had others. Radio rule. DJs were personalities. They weren't just

694
00:48:01.719 --> 00:48:05.000
they weren't playlists. People drove on the freeway on the

695
00:48:05.039 --> 00:48:08.239
four or five to hear their favorite stations sound better

696
00:48:08.280 --> 00:48:14.440
in the car. So radio ruled. Beach culture was incredible

697
00:48:14.480 --> 00:48:19.119
in eighty six. But here's one of them in eighty six. Hollywood.

698
00:48:19.159 --> 00:48:19.360
Brother.

699
00:48:19.480 --> 00:48:23.639
You remember this probably more than way more than I do. Hollywood,

700
00:48:23.719 --> 00:48:27.639
the city of Hollywood was larger than the life Hollywood Boulevard,

701
00:48:27.960 --> 00:48:33.119
which is glowing at night from actors being seen on

702
00:48:33.199 --> 00:48:40.320
the blocks of Hollywood and Sunset. The cruising culture was

703
00:48:40.360 --> 00:48:46.440
everywhere from Whittier Boulevard, Sunset pch windows down, music up,

704
00:48:47.480 --> 00:48:51.079
no texting, friends that would wasn't a thing, but you

705
00:48:51.280 --> 00:48:55.440
hung out together. The freeway wasn't traffic. It was at

706
00:48:55.559 --> 00:48:57.199
night cruising culture.

707
00:48:56.960 --> 00:49:01.239
My friend, you know, back in eighty six, during the

708
00:49:01.360 --> 00:49:04.960
cruising culture. I mean, and this I think goes for

709
00:49:05.119 --> 00:49:09.320
every community or every highway that allowed cruising, or anybody

710
00:49:09.400 --> 00:49:14.400
that ever experienced cruising. Cruising to me was like it

711
00:49:14.559 --> 00:49:16.800
was a time that it didn't matter what you look like,

712
00:49:16.920 --> 00:49:19.559
what you like, where you came from. It was the

713
00:49:19.679 --> 00:49:24.159
time to go out there, be noticed, admire everybody, appreciate everybody,

714
00:49:24.880 --> 00:49:28.800
try to make a connection on the sheer fact that

715
00:49:28.920 --> 00:49:32.519
you're all being free, being who you are, and you're cruising.

716
00:49:33.039 --> 00:49:36.239
You know, you're checking out rides, you're checking out bikes,

717
00:49:36.719 --> 00:49:40.039
you're checking out each other for how you look. You're

718
00:49:40.119 --> 00:49:43.400
actually looking for other people that you think you could

719
00:49:43.519 --> 00:49:46.800
gel with. And then it becomes a friendship kind of

720
00:49:48.199 --> 00:49:53.639
a meeting place. You know, cruising opened up, loud music,

721
00:49:53.800 --> 00:49:58.320
cars park, people gathering right there, admiring everything, lapping with

722
00:49:58.480 --> 00:50:01.000
each other, you know what I mean, amiring each other,

723
00:50:01.639 --> 00:50:04.679
just the essence of being with each other, free, where

724
00:50:04.679 --> 00:50:05.519
there's no friction.

725
00:50:08.440 --> 00:50:10.840
How would you describe to somebody who's out of the

726
00:50:10.880 --> 00:50:14.440
country that listened to the show. The simplest way that

727
00:50:14.519 --> 00:50:18.159
you could explain cruising to somebody who never experienced it

728
00:50:18.360 --> 00:50:22.760
and maybe let them know what what what was so

729
00:50:22.920 --> 00:50:23.800
cool about cruising?

730
00:50:24.760 --> 00:50:27.480
You know? A nice question to put me on the

731
00:50:27.519 --> 00:50:31.199
spot and make me feel old. The son of a monkey,

732
00:50:32.480 --> 00:50:33.159
Jesus Christ.

733
00:50:33.199 --> 00:50:38.719
I want, Well, I'll give you, I'll give you my

734
00:50:38.880 --> 00:50:42.760
point of view. Okay. Cruising was when people all right,

735
00:50:42.840 --> 00:50:47.159
Cruising was usually the young, younger crowd. They drive up

736
00:50:47.239 --> 00:50:51.920
and down the same street, whatever street. Waited on the

737
00:50:52.039 --> 00:50:54.960
younger crowd. Are you talking from the are you talking

738
00:50:55.079 --> 00:50:57.800
with the age mind or in the essence of do

739
00:50:57.880 --> 00:51:00.280
you when you were old enough to remember that you're

740
00:51:00.280 --> 00:51:02.480
talking about now? You don't like people to step on

741
00:51:02.559 --> 00:51:03.000
your yard?

742
00:51:04.599 --> 00:51:04.920
No? No.

743
00:51:06.320 --> 00:51:09.880
When cruising back in the eighties, it was usually young

744
00:51:09.960 --> 00:51:13.559
people doing the driving, hanging out in their cars. They

745
00:51:13.719 --> 00:51:17.079
drive slowly up and down the same street, whatever boulevard.

746
00:51:17.159 --> 00:51:20.000
It was for hours, not to get anywhere, but just

747
00:51:20.119 --> 00:51:22.559
to see people, to meet people and to be seen.

748
00:51:23.880 --> 00:51:26.480
And then you'd probably park your car somewhere along with

749
00:51:27.079 --> 00:51:30.039
tons of other people, have something to eat and hang

750
00:51:30.159 --> 00:51:35.800
out in parking lots, meet people and checking checking girls out,

751
00:51:36.000 --> 00:51:40.039
girls checking guys out, and uh, you know, then you

752
00:51:40.199 --> 00:51:42.400
jump jump back in the car and get back into

753
00:51:42.440 --> 00:51:42.800
the floor.

754
00:51:42.920 --> 00:51:46.760
I mean, what's more perfect than that? Is that not

755
00:51:46.880 --> 00:51:47.760
a perfect world?

756
00:51:48.440 --> 00:51:48.599
Is that?

757
00:51:48.840 --> 00:51:52.679
Not a world where it doesn't matter what you politically think.

758
00:51:52.920 --> 00:51:55.679
It doesn't matter if you're gay or straight, don't matter

759
00:51:55.719 --> 00:52:00.360
if you're brown, white, black, yellow, red, It don't matter.

760
00:52:01.000 --> 00:52:04.039
You're in the vibe. You're accepting of each other. You're

761
00:52:04.119 --> 00:52:06.079
willing to put your heart on the sleeve and go

762
00:52:06.159 --> 00:52:11.119
out there and communicate, come to an understanding, come to

763
00:52:11.199 --> 00:52:15.159
a unity, bond, an agreement. I accept you on no

764
00:52:15.400 --> 00:52:18.719
malice or nothing that you bring to the table except

765
00:52:18.760 --> 00:52:21.199
that you're being free. We're having a good time. Hey,

766
00:52:21.280 --> 00:52:24.119
we like the same music. WHOA we like the same clothes?

767
00:52:24.199 --> 00:52:26.400
WHOA we like the same cars? WHOA we like the

768
00:52:26.440 --> 00:52:29.679
same food? I mean to me, if we could go

769
00:52:29.840 --> 00:52:32.119
back to the era where I grew up with cruising,

770
00:52:33.079 --> 00:52:35.960
I wouldn't be seeing a war and Iran, I wouldn't

771
00:52:35.960 --> 00:52:38.840
be worried about this bullshit that they're going to come

772
00:52:38.920 --> 00:52:44.320
in and my grandson, my nephews, your sons are automatically

773
00:52:44.400 --> 00:52:46.679
going to have to go to a draft for a war.

774
00:52:46.800 --> 00:52:50.159
We're fighting for lithium, we're fighting for oil.

775
00:52:50.280 --> 00:52:50.440
Yeah.

776
00:52:50.519 --> 00:52:52.199
I put that out there real quick, and I'll get

777
00:52:52.199 --> 00:52:56.239
away from it. But if we all were be able

778
00:52:56.360 --> 00:52:58.239
to live in the essence of what it used to

779
00:52:58.360 --> 00:53:01.239
be like in eighty six and you cruise and the

780
00:53:01.400 --> 00:53:05.360
true kind of feeling that it gave us and kind

781
00:53:05.440 --> 00:53:10.119
of like the nonchalan being that we were, it seems stupid,

782
00:53:10.559 --> 00:53:13.880
it seems ridiculous. It seems like you're wasting time. But

783
00:53:14.159 --> 00:53:18.639
really were we No, we were connecting on one level.

784
00:53:19.480 --> 00:53:23.119
To me, yeah, f bomb. Nobody gave a fuck who

785
00:53:23.239 --> 00:53:26.400
you were where you came from. It was all about

786
00:53:26.480 --> 00:53:28.679
I accept you right now, right on.

787
00:53:29.320 --> 00:53:31.239
I agree with you. That was cool.

788
00:53:31.440 --> 00:53:33.679
I like this song you want to make out in

789
00:53:33.719 --> 00:53:37.920
the back of a car that's Unit broy We don't

790
00:53:37.920 --> 00:53:39.599
have It was this.

791
00:53:40.400 --> 00:53:46.039
It was a social media of that day, and for

792
00:53:46.159 --> 00:53:51.360
those listening outside the US, cruising wasn't just it wasn't traffic.

793
00:53:52.199 --> 00:53:54.840
It was a moving party, a rolling community, where the

794
00:53:54.920 --> 00:53:59.559
street was the meeting place. In your car was your

795
00:53:59.639 --> 00:54:00.559
identity exactly.

796
00:54:00.880 --> 00:54:03.320
You were listening to back to the eighties radio with

797
00:54:03.480 --> 00:54:06.599

Extory, you can dispense with the pleasant traits. You're listening

to Disco and Chang. You don't know the power of

841
01:02:51.480 --> 01:02:52.639
back to the eighties.

842
01:03:20.440 --> 01:03:21.159
The doll.

843
01:03:22.800 --> 01:03:38.880

846
01:03:51.159 --> 01:03:52.639
Se five.

847
01:03:57.280 --> 01:03:57.920
My other.

848
01:04:05.960 --> 01:04:06.960
I'm going to tell.

849
01:04:09.599 --> 01:04:43.679
So steps stop stop stuff, Tom's time this play, so.

850
01:04:46.639 --> 01:04:59.559
What talking about its so.

851
01:05:02.480 --> 01:05:02.719
Step?

852
01:05:05.679 --> 01:06:40.199
What says says? Stop stands step son Sun stops by

853
01:06:40.400 --> 01:06:44.800
size Star steps.

854
01:06:48.119 --> 01:07:45.320
Start Welcome back to back to the eighties. Radio Tuscano

855
01:07:45.440 --> 01:07:48.000
and Chang took you off bang in your head because

856
01:07:48.039 --> 01:07:52.840
that's what you gotta do sometimes. Metallica, Master of Puppets,

857
01:07:53.000 --> 01:07:58.079
Iron Maiden. That's right, brothers wasted years and boy, all

858
01:07:58.119 --> 01:08:01.679
the wisdom we have now we all think about some

859
01:08:01.840 --> 01:08:05.840
of those years wasted. But no, it's not Tuscano. Nothing

860
01:08:05.960 --> 01:08:09.480
we do is wasted real quick. My old man always

861
01:08:09.480 --> 01:08:13.320
told me one thing. Every experience in life, whether it's

862
01:08:13.519 --> 01:08:18.680
negative or positive, gives you wisdom. You cannot move ahead

863
01:08:19.439 --> 01:08:20.479
unless you do both.

864
01:08:21.159 --> 01:08:26.279
I sincerely think that that song Wasted Years hits home

865
01:08:26.439 --> 01:08:32.720
for me. Specifically, when I hear that song done slowly, slowly,

866
01:08:32.880 --> 01:08:36.439
like if it was a ballad, it hits me even harder. Yeah,

867
01:08:37.680 --> 01:08:41.560
because it makes me think now about my life even

868
01:08:41.720 --> 01:08:46.720
more now that I'm at a certain age, and it

869
01:08:47.000 --> 01:08:50.000
just it hits me hard. That's one of the strongest

870
01:08:50.079 --> 01:08:52.840
songs that I've ever heard.

871
01:08:54.680 --> 01:08:58.960
You know what, bro, I will always testify to music.

872
01:09:00.039 --> 01:09:02.399
You know, That's what I was basically brought up on.

873
01:09:03.520 --> 01:09:08.800
And to me, music is that one release, well, that

874
01:09:09.000 --> 01:09:12.479
one break to where you can be shy and an

875
01:09:12.680 --> 01:09:17.920
introvert and a song will cleanse you or help you

876
01:09:18.199 --> 01:09:22.520
or help you relate to somebody. And then if you're

877
01:09:22.520 --> 01:09:27.520
an extrovert it could be even more powerful. You can

878
01:09:27.680 --> 01:09:35.359
learn how to play an instrument, you could be all

879
01:09:35.399 --> 01:09:39.960
to be blessed with stinging so a magnifive times five

880
01:09:40.960 --> 01:09:44.840
and reason you exclaim yourself in those forms because connection.

881
01:09:45.439 --> 01:09:49.079
You're frustrated, you know you're at a certain peak or

882
01:09:49.359 --> 01:09:53.319
a certain awareness or questionable portion of your life, and

883
01:09:53.439 --> 01:09:57.520
you utilize music to connect with others. And that sometimes

884
01:09:58.239 --> 01:10:00.600
is your own voice, your own mind and said it

885
01:10:00.720 --> 01:10:04.199
even can change your mindset and gear you to a

886
01:10:04.880 --> 01:10:10.039
more better place. So what better form did we not

887
01:10:10.279 --> 01:10:14.359
learn from in the eighties? I think that helped the generation,

888
01:10:14.720 --> 01:10:18.880
helped the world the way it is now than the eighties.

889
01:10:19.119 --> 01:10:21.000
I think the eighties is way more.

890
01:10:22.479 --> 01:10:27.720
Should be noticed as an innovative decade. What do you

891
01:10:27.760 --> 01:10:28.279
think about that?

892
01:10:28.439 --> 01:10:32.520
Oh, one hundred percent, man, one hundred percent. We lived

893
01:10:32.840 --> 01:10:39.119
through the beginning of the technological age. We lived through it.

894
01:10:39.920 --> 01:10:42.640
Nobody can tell it. You know the kids today that

895
01:10:42.800 --> 01:10:45.640
they think that they that they have it all, that

896
01:10:45.800 --> 01:10:48.560
they know it all because they have all the technology.

897
01:10:49.680 --> 01:10:53.560
We lived it since its inception. Now we may not

898
01:10:53.880 --> 01:10:56.880
know as much as them. We may not want to know.

899
01:10:57.039 --> 01:11:00.880
I personally don't want to know, you know. I avoid

900
01:11:01.079 --> 01:11:04.439
social media like the plague. When it comes to on

901
01:11:04.520 --> 01:11:07.920
a personal level, will do it for the show, but

902
01:11:08.079 --> 01:11:12.479
on a personal level, I avoid social media. I try

903
01:11:13.239 --> 01:11:17.600
to avoid all forms of technology as we have it today,

904
01:11:17.760 --> 01:11:21.079
not because it's not convenient and not because I don't

905
01:11:21.319 --> 01:11:24.520
like it. I do enjoy it. Who doesn't enjoy having

906
01:11:25.359 --> 01:11:28.520
any movie they want, any song they want at their fingertips?

907
01:11:29.279 --> 01:11:32.560
But I choose not to do not to do it

908
01:11:32.720 --> 01:11:37.000
all the time. I do stream music, I do stream movies.

909
01:11:38.279 --> 01:11:42.520
But I once in a while I will do it manually.

910
01:11:43.119 --> 01:11:45.720
I will put on a movie on DVD. I will

911
01:11:45.760 --> 01:11:48.000
put on a movie on VHS, believe it or not,

912
01:11:48.880 --> 01:11:51.399
I'll put on a cassette, I will put on a

913
01:11:51.520 --> 01:11:56.600
vinyl because I still want to be connected to that

914
01:11:56.920 --> 01:12:04.520
age where my explans of those things made made all

915
01:12:04.560 --> 01:12:09.199
the difference in the world. Remember how giddy we felt

916
01:12:09.920 --> 01:12:14.479
going into a music shop and browsing through the different

917
01:12:14.680 --> 01:12:19.640
albums and just dreaming that we would buy, and dreaming

918
01:12:19.720 --> 01:12:22.760
how much we wanted to have all these albums. Remember

919
01:12:23.039 --> 01:12:25.079
when we got one, How giddy we were when we

920
01:12:25.159 --> 01:12:25.760
got Yeah.

921
01:12:26.840 --> 01:12:32.199
I remember those days, you know, where you waited for

922
01:12:32.319 --> 01:12:36.600
the news on the radio, or in the music session

923
01:12:37.279 --> 01:12:41.560
section in the newspaper, or on whatever favorite nag you

924
01:12:41.640 --> 01:12:45.079
were checking out of the music that you like for

925
01:12:45.199 --> 01:12:48.680
the dropping of a band's new album, of the dropping

926
01:12:48.760 --> 01:12:52.920
of a band's concert or appearance somewhere, and you know,

927
01:12:53.680 --> 01:12:56.640
now the crazy thing was okay, Now you had to

928
01:12:56.680 --> 01:12:59.239
figure out a way to spend the cash to get

929
01:12:59.279 --> 01:13:02.880
a cassette, to get an album. And before that, cats

930
01:13:02.880 --> 01:13:05.039
were playing paying for a track, which is like what

931
01:13:05.239 --> 01:13:08.680
the f is an a track? But you know, back

932
01:13:08.800 --> 01:13:11.399
then you had to pay for it. So I think

933
01:13:12.640 --> 01:13:16.920
you had more appreciation of the music, the artist and

934
01:13:17.119 --> 01:13:20.560
really what it meant, and kind of like that Christmas

935
01:13:20.720 --> 01:13:25.119
excitability that you had when you went and purchased his music,

936
01:13:25.680 --> 01:13:28.479
or the anticipation you had when you knew they were

937
01:13:28.520 --> 01:13:31.760
coming out because you dug everything that that artist made.

938
01:13:32.920 --> 01:13:37.199
And I think being able to get music the way

939
01:13:37.279 --> 01:13:40.960
we do now is cheapen that taking that feeling away

940
01:13:42.039 --> 01:13:45.039
and kind of made it more of a normalcy than

941
01:13:45.159 --> 01:13:47.079
an anticipation.

942
01:13:48.399 --> 01:13:53.560
And yeah, and the same thing happened with movies. There

943
01:13:53.680 --> 01:13:58.399
was a point where we looked forward to seeing a

944
01:13:58.479 --> 01:14:01.439
movie on cable. At first, there was a moment where

945
01:14:01.479 --> 01:14:04.159
we when we got that VCR, when we were excited

946
01:14:04.199 --> 01:14:07.880
to record that program or that sporting event or a

947
01:14:08.000 --> 01:14:13.319
movie and pausing or skipping over the commercials. That was excitement.

948
01:14:13.760 --> 01:14:16.439
It was excitement to go on Friday evenings to your

949
01:14:16.479 --> 01:14:21.199
local mom and pop shop video rentals store and get

950
01:14:21.279 --> 01:14:24.920
that movie that you were hoping that you probably reserved.

951
01:14:25.000 --> 01:14:25.600
You know.

952
01:14:25.720 --> 01:14:27.920
Then you got the person behind the counter writing your

953
01:14:28.000 --> 01:14:33.760
name in that in that in that just folder and

954
01:14:33.880 --> 01:14:35.720
writing your name in that eight and a half by

955
01:14:35.800 --> 01:14:39.199
eleven lined paper, and they wrote you know, your name

956
01:14:39.600 --> 01:14:42.239
and what movie you wanted, and they would reserve it

957
01:14:42.399 --> 01:14:48.119
for you. I mean, those are experiences that have been

958
01:14:48.199 --> 01:14:52.640
taken away from us for the sake of convenience. And

959
01:14:53.359 --> 01:14:58.920
I've said it hundreds hundreds of times here. I would

960
01:14:59.039 --> 01:15:04.880
rather have kept experience at the expense of convenience. I

961
01:15:05.159 --> 01:15:11.279
would have rather had the experience. Yeah, you know, I've

962
01:15:11.319 --> 01:15:15.840
been thinking about this lately. I remember us as kids thinking,

963
01:15:16.479 --> 01:15:20.600
imagine if we had the entire collection of every artist

964
01:15:20.720 --> 01:15:23.600
we could and just by the touch of a button.

965
01:15:24.479 --> 01:15:28.239
Now we have it, and you know what, it's not

966
01:15:28.359 --> 01:15:30.840
any better, you know what?

967
01:15:31.039 --> 01:15:33.159
To a certain degree, Yeah, I totally agree with you,

968
01:15:33.680 --> 01:15:40.720
But what you just said has me in agreement because

969
01:15:41.079 --> 01:15:45.439
we have lost that anticipation. We know that all we

970
01:15:45.560 --> 01:15:48.479
have to do is wait for buffering and we can

971
01:15:48.680 --> 01:15:54.279
instantaneously get that song. Uh, we could possibly download it.

972
01:15:55.359 --> 01:15:59.399
And that's cheap in the industry. It's killed radio, and.

973
01:15:59.479 --> 01:16:01.920
It's doesn't it cheapen the experience?

974
01:16:01.920 --> 01:16:05.159
I was just gonna say, And it cheapens that anticipation,

975
01:16:05.479 --> 01:16:09.920
that prematurity of what we anticipate in our hope and

976
01:16:10.600 --> 01:16:15.279
oh that adoration and all that adrenaline to get and

977
01:16:15.520 --> 01:16:19.359
experience what we've been waiting for. Another thing we're talking

978
01:16:19.359 --> 01:16:22.439
about that. I remember when you can go you had

979
01:16:22.479 --> 01:16:24.720
to get in line to go to a concert. You

980
01:16:24.800 --> 01:16:29.439
had the same feeling, the same emotions going through you,

981
01:16:30.359 --> 01:16:33.159
you know, and the whole thing was like, I hope

982
01:16:33.479 --> 01:16:34.000
they do this.

983
01:16:34.199 --> 01:16:35.039
I hope they do that.

984
01:16:35.319 --> 01:16:39.039
Man, And you know you're going on false pre limp.

985
01:16:39.079 --> 01:16:43.760
But I mean the the adrenaline, the love of that luss,

986
01:16:43.960 --> 01:16:50.119
that that enduring drive to like, yeah, I'll sacrifice you know,

987
01:16:50.319 --> 01:16:53.399
staying out there in line at night, you know, on

988
01:16:53.640 --> 01:16:56.760
lawn chairs or pillows, you know, doing what you have

989
01:16:57.479 --> 01:17:03.039
doing cocaine and mushrooms or whatever dope with. You know,

990
01:17:03.159 --> 01:17:05.560
we're going to be real on the radio show there,

991
01:17:05.760 --> 01:17:08.880
so you cannot dodge those things. You know. People back

992
01:17:08.960 --> 01:17:13.279
in the kid you were taking cross stops, and you know,

993
01:17:14.279 --> 01:17:15.319
is this what you used.

994
01:17:15.199 --> 01:17:17.439
To do right before going to see OMD.

995
01:17:19.159 --> 01:17:21.800
If I ever had to go wait for a concert. No,

996
01:17:22.880 --> 01:17:26.159
I would never take anything hallucino jetic like I wouldn't

997
01:17:26.199 --> 01:17:28.479
do ass. I was not a big fan of acid.

998
01:17:28.520 --> 01:17:32.279
I used to I like shrooms. But you know what

999
01:17:32.359 --> 01:17:36.399
I mean, back then in the day, I was very fortunate.

1000
01:17:36.600 --> 01:17:40.119
I was an athlete. I had stamina, you know what

1001
01:17:40.199 --> 01:17:42.479
I mean, kind of like a vampire. I lived for

1002
01:17:42.560 --> 01:17:44.159
the night. But you know what, man, I ain't going

1003
01:17:44.239 --> 01:17:46.319
to tell you right now, boys and girls, put your

1004
01:17:46.399 --> 01:17:49.399
kids to bed. I do not do not condone this,

1005
01:17:50.000 --> 01:17:53.960
but hell, cocaine back then was the shit. And a

1006
01:17:54.079 --> 01:17:57.720
lot of people that waited in line they did the

1007
01:17:57.880 --> 01:18:01.239
caffeine pills or the cross tops, or the you know

1008
01:18:01.439 --> 01:18:05.039
black beauties or the purple hearts. You know, they were

1009
01:18:05.079 --> 01:18:09.520
snorting coke. They were probably trying crank, which sounds like

1010
01:18:09.560 --> 01:18:14.399
a cereal, which was the first birth of math. I'm

1011
01:18:14.439 --> 01:18:17.399
talking that's street tie, that's real talk. You know, one

1012
01:18:17.479 --> 01:18:20.000
day we maybe we should talk about all that. If

1013
01:18:20.039 --> 01:18:22.760
you took a I'm sure you know. But then again,

1014
01:18:22.840 --> 01:18:26.079
Dean and I saw people on acid and mushrooms. You

1015
01:18:26.159 --> 01:18:28.960
know they're wide awake. But it was like this fucking

1016
01:18:29.000 --> 01:18:33.359
fool's gonna lay in the plants. Well, I'm getting three

1017
01:18:33.479 --> 01:18:36.079
tickets because I'm getting a wristband. That's what it was

1018
01:18:36.079 --> 01:18:37.560
all about. You got a wristband.

1019
01:18:39.119 --> 01:18:43.800
Yeah, And I remember the excitement when you had to

1020
01:18:43.920 --> 01:18:47.840
go to like ticket Master or music Land. Music you

1021
01:18:47.920 --> 01:18:51.840
mean one of those places too. No, there was music

1022
01:18:51.920 --> 01:18:54.439
Land and Music Plus and you had to buy your

1023
01:18:54.520 --> 01:18:56.079
tickets to go to the concerts there.

1024
01:18:56.319 --> 01:18:59.520
I used to buy them at Liquid Pizza, Uh, ticket

1025
01:18:59.560 --> 01:19:02.239
and Maks, Sir, And I used to get him from

1026
01:19:03.399 --> 01:19:07.319
Music Plus. Those were the outlets I got him unless

1027
01:19:07.479 --> 01:19:11.239
I decided to do massive amounts of cocaine and then

1028
01:19:11.399 --> 01:19:16.159
drive to the venue. You know what, Hey, how dare

1029
01:19:16.199 --> 01:19:18.960
you throw that in? But I will not deny or

1030
01:19:19.039 --> 01:19:22.680
you just said? And that's because I'm being real. Oh yeah, bro,

1031
01:19:23.720 --> 01:19:27.560
Oh my gosh. Back to the eighties radio. We're gonna

1032
01:19:27.560 --> 01:19:29.640
take one last break here and we're gonna go into

1033
01:19:29.720 --> 01:19:33.479
two songs that Chang absolutely adore those. And one of

1034
01:19:33.560 --> 01:19:38.319
those songs was a very powerful lyrical song from Madonna

1035
01:19:39.079 --> 01:19:43.319
called Live to Tell, followed by the Human League with

1036
01:19:43.439 --> 01:19:48.199
a song called human Gear. I'm back to the eighties

1037
01:19:48.319 --> 01:20:26.760
radio nice, but.

1038
01:20:33.239 --> 01:20:38.000

Hm.

1099
01:29:20.560 --> 01:29:24.039
Welcome back to back to the eighties Radio Human League

1100
01:29:24.119 --> 01:29:27.359
with being human, which we all should do now and

1101
01:29:27.600 --> 01:29:32.800
oh lord, everybody's wet dream back in eighty six, Madonna,

1102
01:29:34.039 --> 01:29:37.479
Lord have mercy now, Tuscano, we're going deep and we're

1103
01:29:37.520 --> 01:29:40.119
going heavy to night. It's no time to say you night.

1104
01:29:41.119 --> 01:29:43.760
Oh people that never lived through the eighties, you got

1105
01:29:43.880 --> 01:29:47.279
to be listening to this program, because this is how

1106
01:29:47.319 --> 01:29:47.640
it was.

1107
01:29:48.039 --> 01:29:54.359
What was one of your favorite guitar heroes in nineteen

1108
01:29:54.399 --> 01:29:54.840
eighty six?

1109
01:29:54.880 --> 01:29:58.239
I want to hear that. Well, I'll be honest with you.

1110
01:29:59.119 --> 01:30:03.760
I only had one guitar hero in eighty six, and

1111
01:30:04.640 --> 01:30:11.239
that is because I always knew that Eddie Van Halen

1112
01:30:11.520 --> 01:30:16.319
was the greatest of all time. But there was another guitarist.

1113
01:30:16.479 --> 01:30:20.520
He was not of rock. He was of blues. And

1114
01:30:20.720 --> 01:30:26.119
to me, when I heard Stevie ray Vaughn, holy moly,

1115
01:30:26.279 --> 01:30:27.199
what a guitarist.

1116
01:30:27.279 --> 01:30:27.840
A man.

1117
01:30:29.279 --> 01:30:32.199
Just blew me away. This guy could be on stage

1118
01:30:33.119 --> 01:30:38.279
having popped a string on his guitar and got a

1119
01:30:39.079 --> 01:30:44.239
He swings the guitar around his neck. The assistant grabs

1120
01:30:44.279 --> 01:30:47.840
the guitar, puts a new one and swings it back

1121
01:30:47.880 --> 01:30:51.159
in the front in the same song and starts and

1122
01:30:51.279 --> 01:30:56.199
continues playing. That guy was the eighth wonder of the

1123
01:30:56.239 --> 01:30:59.199
world in guitar. You know what, Bro, I gotta totally

1124
01:30:59.439 --> 01:31:02.760
agree with you. You know, I was very fortunate to

1125
01:31:03.079 --> 01:31:07.359
watch SRV five times in my lifetime. You saw him

1126
01:31:07.520 --> 01:31:11.159
live five time times, Bro, five times, Oh my gosh,

1127
01:31:11.199 --> 01:31:12.920
how can you You can never get that out of

1128
01:31:13.000 --> 01:31:13.359
your mind?

1129
01:31:13.640 --> 01:31:16.960
No, man, I seen him play with Jeff Beck. I

1130
01:31:17.039 --> 01:31:20.239
seen him play with his brother. Oh yeah, bro, I

1131
01:31:20.319 --> 01:31:25.199
seen him play solo. Now a trippy story. I got

1132
01:31:25.239 --> 01:31:28.560
hooked up with Stevie ray Vaughan in nineteen eighty three

1133
01:31:29.399 --> 01:31:33.359
when he did Shortly after before that, he did an

1134
01:31:33.399 --> 01:31:39.000
album with David Bowie Glass Spider. He did the one

1135
01:31:39.199 --> 01:31:43.239
song Let's Dance. Those are his riffs. So my best

1136
01:31:43.279 --> 01:31:45.640
friend at the time hooked me up with him and

1137
01:31:45.720 --> 01:31:48.600
he was like, hey, dude, this guy's badass. Eighty three,

1138
01:31:48.720 --> 01:31:52.239
he came out with the Couldn't Stand the Weather. When

1139
01:31:52.319 --> 01:31:55.439
I cranked that cassette in, dude, I was sold on

1140
01:31:55.560 --> 01:31:56.079
this cat.

1141
01:31:56.600 --> 01:31:56.960
After that.

1142
01:31:57.119 --> 01:32:02.359
I saw every tour up until he died. Stevie Rayvaughn

1143
01:32:02.600 --> 01:32:05.840
kind of was like they compared him a lot to

1144
01:32:06.039 --> 01:32:10.840
Hendricks and Clapton, but I think Stevie ray Vaughan was

1145
01:32:12.520 --> 01:32:15.520
a touch of both, a big touch of the past,

1146
01:32:16.520 --> 01:32:20.880
but I think he was more on the outskirts of

1147
01:32:21.840 --> 01:32:25.119
rock and roll, kind of like a Jerry Lee Lewis,

1148
01:32:25.880 --> 01:32:29.720
you know, kind of like a like a Chuck Berry

1149
01:32:30.279 --> 01:32:30.880
to where.

1150
01:32:33.479 --> 01:32:35.279
Like like oh those guys, I like.

1151
01:32:35.359 --> 01:32:39.560
He he like he like pumped things up. He pumped

1152
01:32:39.600 --> 01:32:42.920
the blues up. You know, it was like you didn't

1153
01:32:42.960 --> 01:32:44.760
know where he was going to go with his guitar.

1154
01:32:44.920 --> 01:32:47.840
I mean, dude, when I seen him, I seen him

1155
01:32:48.199 --> 01:32:52.119
play behind his back with his teeth under his legs,

1156
01:32:52.479 --> 01:32:56.239
roll it around. I mean, I seen that guy, and

1157
01:32:56.359 --> 01:33:00.399
I was like floored. I thought there was no going

1158
01:33:00.479 --> 01:33:03.560
to be anybody like him. And I thought at that

1159
01:33:03.720 --> 01:33:06.680
point he was the greatest guitar player in all the

1160
01:33:06.800 --> 01:33:11.359
years that I've ever watched any guitar player in rock

1161
01:33:11.399 --> 01:33:14.840
and roll or anywhere else. And I thought, at one

1162
01:33:14.920 --> 01:33:18.720
time George Benson was the greatest guitar player that I witnessed.

1163
01:33:19.600 --> 01:33:26.720
In seventy nine when they did the Weekend in La

1164
01:33:27.000 --> 01:33:28.520
I went to the tour with my mom.

1165
01:33:28.800 --> 01:33:30.039
I was floored by that guy.

1166
01:33:30.880 --> 01:33:36.720
But every genre of music has a captivating, intrivating classical

1167
01:33:36.880 --> 01:33:42.800
great of its own. Ray Vaughn, I think crossed blues

1168
01:33:43.600 --> 01:33:48.640
to kind of like rock and roll, even a little

1169
01:33:48.680 --> 01:33:54.520
bit of metal if you can know all his tunes, rockabilly.

1170
01:33:55.039 --> 01:33:59.119
He I mean, he represented Texas Austin rock and roll

1171
01:33:59.199 --> 01:34:03.319
to the tea. He took what Hendrix did, lit fire

1172
01:34:03.439 --> 01:34:06.640
on it, threw cocaine on it, put bourbon on it,

1173
01:34:07.000 --> 01:34:09.680
and the flames just went higher. So I agree with you,

1174
01:34:10.399 --> 01:34:16.720
probably one of the most dominating irregular guitar players we've

1175
01:34:16.800 --> 01:34:19.720
ever seen. Back in this year of eighty six or

1176
01:34:19.720 --> 01:34:22.000
any time in the eighties. You know, there's a lot

1177
01:34:22.079 --> 01:34:24.840
of cats coming up, but there is no SRV.

1178
01:34:25.119 --> 01:34:34.079
I know, I wholeheartedly agree there was. There was something

1179
01:34:34.159 --> 01:34:38.279
else in eighty six. But before I go there, because

1180
01:34:38.319 --> 01:34:42.600
it's dark, I can tell you that if you get

1181
01:34:42.600 --> 01:34:45.960
a chance and start learning about nineteen eighty six, because

1182
01:34:46.039 --> 01:34:50.840
it was it was a moment that music became identity.

1183
01:34:52.399 --> 01:34:56.319
It was the year when less technology could create more

1184
01:34:56.399 --> 01:35:01.199
connection than smartphones and streaming and instant access. These people

1185
01:35:01.279 --> 01:35:04.920
were gathering, sharing music, waiting for songs, and they, as

1186
01:35:05.000 --> 01:35:09.039
you put it, experienced things together. It was one of

1187
01:35:09.119 --> 01:35:17.399
the last truly unfiltered creative eras for artists because artists

1188
01:35:17.560 --> 01:35:23.119
like Prince and Peter Gabriel and others you know, sting,

1189
01:35:24.159 --> 01:35:28.239
they were coming up with the most creative experiments in

1190
01:35:29.199 --> 01:35:35.359
musical history, and it redefined culture a nineteen eighty six

1191
01:35:36.359 --> 01:35:41.039
was a moment in American culture. Energy and I don't

1192
01:35:41.079 --> 01:35:46.000
mean electricity, I mean the the energy, the electricity that's

1193
01:35:46.039 --> 01:35:50.760
inside the strip was a live radio stations were at

1194
01:35:50.840 --> 01:35:55.680
their peak, movies were at the peak LA. It didn't

1195
01:35:55.760 --> 01:35:59.039
just exist, It was pulsing like a living heart, if

1196
01:35:59.119 --> 01:36:04.720
that makes sense. So in you and I, I being

1197
01:36:04.840 --> 01:36:07.680
much younger, I couldn't experiment a lot of that because

1198
01:36:07.680 --> 01:36:12.600
I was still under twenty one. But I was able

1199
01:36:12.680 --> 01:36:15.399
to do a lot of those things that twenty one

1200
01:36:15.479 --> 01:36:19.720
year olds could do because there wasn't as much enforcement,

1201
01:36:19.840 --> 01:36:23.079
if that makes sense. You could still buy off a

1202
01:36:23.159 --> 01:36:29.520
bouncer back then. I remember going into places like Florentine Gardens,

1203
01:36:30.319 --> 01:36:35.319
Mister Jay's in Hollywood and with a fake ID, and

1204
01:36:36.279 --> 01:36:38.840
you know, just giving the guy a ten dollars on

1205
01:36:39.000 --> 01:36:42.840
the side got me in. You know, eighty six was

1206
01:36:44.000 --> 01:36:48.600
a great year for music, but it had a dark edge. Two.

1207
01:36:49.560 --> 01:36:51.640
This is the other side that I wanted to mention

1208
01:36:52.319 --> 01:36:56.279
because while music and movies and culture were exploding the

1209
01:36:56.439 --> 01:36:59.199
mid eighties, especially eighty five and eighty six, brother, and

1210
01:36:59.319 --> 01:37:04.920
you know, that was when crack cocaine spread like fire

1211
01:37:05.439 --> 01:37:10.000
in most major US cities. It hit LA, New York,

1212
01:37:10.159 --> 01:37:12.359
and Miami. That's where it all came from.

1213
01:37:12.640 --> 01:37:16.399
Yeah, But I also have read and did research that

1214
01:37:16.920 --> 01:37:22.960
America took the crack ingredients made it. Put it out

1215
01:37:23.039 --> 01:37:26.159
there to kill out the poor, to kill out the black,

1216
01:37:26.359 --> 01:37:29.760
to kill off the brown. That's another story, but it

1217
01:37:29.960 --> 01:37:33.279
is a true story. So you are totally one hundred

1218
01:37:33.319 --> 01:37:35.840
percent on what you bring up. You know, with the

1219
01:37:35.960 --> 01:37:39.319
epidemic of crack, you know, the epidemic of.

1220
01:37:41.199 --> 01:37:41.920
Quick death.

1221
01:37:42.840 --> 01:37:46.079
The way to eliminate anything that you think is baggage

1222
01:37:47.439 --> 01:37:51.000
eighty six. It had its greatness, but it had its ugliness.

1223
01:37:51.159 --> 01:37:54.239
Well, we were turning up the radio. Some people around

1224
01:37:54.279 --> 01:37:55.640
the world were just trying to survive.

1225
01:37:55.800 --> 01:37:58.039
The odd thing. I'll think about crack back then, roll

1226
01:37:58.319 --> 01:38:02.600
and drugs? Is is it not funny that we will

1227
01:38:03.000 --> 01:38:06.880
our politicians will wage war against it. The police and

1228
01:38:07.119 --> 01:38:11.439
justice system will attack it and use their power to

1229
01:38:11.520 --> 01:38:17.279
the highest force only against the user. The dealer sometimes

1230
01:38:17.560 --> 01:38:21.039
is made an example, I'd say maybe one out of

1231
01:38:21.119 --> 01:38:25.479
twenty five, but because they have the money or the power,

1232
01:38:25.760 --> 01:38:29.640
they usually you know, skip out of it. And the

1233
01:38:30.199 --> 01:38:33.159
whole thing I find asinine. Back in the eighties up

1234
01:38:33.279 --> 01:38:36.600
until even now, you know, will wage war on drugs.

1235
01:38:37.319 --> 01:38:41.520
Now we'll put all our revenue into the war on

1236
01:38:41.640 --> 01:38:45.600
drugs to make people pay and belittle them. But then

1237
01:38:45.640 --> 01:38:48.600
we'll also make money. If you're on drugs, you can

1238
01:38:48.680 --> 01:38:50.520
go if you can afford it, you go to a nice,

1239
01:38:50.640 --> 01:38:57.279
lavish rehab. Drugs are here because people can't cope. They medicate,

1240
01:38:58.039 --> 01:39:02.840
They kind of delude the problems of life. And the

1241
01:39:02.960 --> 01:39:08.199
higher ups will claim that they're against it only because

1242
01:39:08.239 --> 01:39:12.119
they're going to hide behind their evangelistic or they want

1243
01:39:12.119 --> 01:39:15.079
to jump in a Bible at that time, so they

1244
01:39:15.199 --> 01:39:18.119
look like they're doing the right thing. But they allow it.

1245
01:39:18.720 --> 01:39:21.359
They are the backbone and they know it's coming in here,

1246
01:39:21.880 --> 01:39:25.119
so they are the lesser of two evils. So as

1247
01:39:25.159 --> 01:39:28.359
you brought up the drug epidemic of crack in the eighties,

1248
01:39:29.239 --> 01:39:31.359
I mean, we can do another whole hour show on

1249
01:39:31.439 --> 01:39:35.279
the corruptness. You know, the one president that brought unity,

1250
01:39:36.079 --> 01:39:38.840
tear down a wall. But I got no problem with

1251
01:39:38.920 --> 01:39:42.359
you dropping bricks of cocaine and heroin off on a

1252
01:39:42.479 --> 01:39:46.560
plane or a helicopter, and then I'll kick you down

1253
01:39:46.640 --> 01:39:49.359
some weapons and everybody's a happy camper.

1254
01:39:49.800 --> 01:39:51.399
You know what I'm saying. For those of you who

1255
01:39:51.399 --> 01:39:54.039
aren't fully aware of what happened in nineteen eighty six,

1256
01:39:54.880 --> 01:39:56.560
and this is all brought to you by the government

1257
01:39:56.800 --> 01:40:02.279
of Ronald Reagan, that's right. They signed an act called

1258
01:40:02.319 --> 01:40:05.239
the Anti Drug Abuse Act of nineteen eighty six. It

1259
01:40:05.359 --> 01:40:08.279
was kind of the United States way of saying, we're

1260
01:40:08.319 --> 01:40:12.279
getting tough on drugs. What did it do well? It

1261
01:40:12.399 --> 01:40:17.359
created like prison sentences that were mandatory. Certain drug crimes

1262
01:40:17.840 --> 01:40:23.479
meant automatic jail time, right, no flexibility. It also this

1263
01:40:23.640 --> 01:40:26.560
law also put a lot more money into police into

1264
01:40:26.640 --> 01:40:30.159
drug prevention programs. You know, say no to drugs, this

1265
01:40:30.359 --> 01:40:33.720
is your brain on drugs, et cetera. But they targeted

1266
01:40:33.800 --> 01:40:37.720
both drug users and drug dealers. Now here's the controversial

1267
01:40:37.840 --> 01:40:42.439
part about all of this, because the law would punish

1268
01:40:42.560 --> 01:40:49.000
crack cocaine users and dealers much more harshly than powder cocaine,

1269
01:40:49.640 --> 01:40:55.319
So small amounts of crack long prison sentences, much larger

1270
01:40:55.359 --> 01:40:59.520
amounts of powder cocaine on the streets same sentence or less.

1271
01:41:00.399 --> 01:41:03.680
And this later became a big, big issue because it

1272
01:41:03.800 --> 01:41:06.119
was it was criticized. It's being unfair.

1273
01:41:06.600 --> 01:41:13.439
It is the exact definition of hypocrisy. However, what form

1274
01:41:13.560 --> 01:41:17.680
you want to put it in there? The world is

1275
01:41:17.760 --> 01:41:22.560
so full of hypocrisy. It goes from religion to politics,

1276
01:41:22.680 --> 01:41:29.520
to everyday structure to corporations, you know, every everything nowadays

1277
01:41:29.600 --> 01:41:34.079
is hypocrisy. Our country was built on hypocrisy. You know,

1278
01:41:34.720 --> 01:41:37.039
do what I write, do what I say, but don't

1279
01:41:37.079 --> 01:41:40.560
do what I do behind the closet doors. So it's insane.

1280
01:41:41.119 --> 01:41:46.079
The drug war ready six is a a true blue

1281
01:41:46.239 --> 01:41:52.239
definition of hypocrisy, you know. And and in eighty six

1282
01:41:52.920 --> 01:41:56.119
music was the one round that we all used to

1283
01:41:56.239 --> 01:41:59.800
get away from it spoke up against it. You know.

1284
01:42:00.479 --> 01:42:03.359
Look what it's taking nowadays a lot of older artists

1285
01:42:03.439 --> 01:42:07.720
to come out and make their peas about what they

1286
01:42:07.800 --> 01:42:11.600
don't like in this country. And it's sad that we

1287
01:42:11.760 --> 01:42:15.000
have to go to people and hear the everybody from

1288
01:42:15.039 --> 01:42:19.199
the outside box because we're not paying attention. We did

1289
01:42:19.239 --> 01:42:21.159
the same thing in the eighties. You don't pay attention

1290
01:42:21.920 --> 01:42:24.159
and then sit you know, shit hits the fan.

1291
01:42:24.359 --> 01:42:28.560
We're gonna be right back as a final segment before

1292
01:42:28.640 --> 01:42:31.840
the end of the show. In the meantime, I'm gonna

1293
01:42:31.920 --> 01:42:35.720
leave you with Grandmaster Flash and White Lines on the

1294
01:42:35.800 --> 01:42:38.680
one and only back to the eighties radio.

1295
01:43:10.079 --> 01:43:31.600
Face Vision, Dreams of Passion them all the while.

1296
01:43:31.760 --> 01:43:32.560
I think of you.

1297
01:43:34.760 --> 01:43:40.239
A very strange reaction. The more I see, the more

1298
01:43:40.399 --> 01:43:59.359
I do, Baby Along Rock, Ticket to Ride, White Line highway.

1299
01:43:59.439 --> 01:44:01.520
Tell all your friend and thinking my way.

1300
01:44:01.479 --> 01:44:03.239
Pay your toe, sell your soul.

1301
01:44:03.520 --> 01:44:05.279
Count for pound costs more than door.

1302
01:44:05.399 --> 01:44:08.079
The longer you stay, the more you paid. My white

1303
01:44:08.159 --> 01:44:11.239
eyes do a long way either up the nose or your.

1304
01:44:11.159 --> 01:44:13.479
Fame with nothing that game except killing your friend.

1305
01:44:31.079 --> 01:44:36.239
Higher baby, get hired, baby, get higher, baby.

1306
01:44:46.319 --> 01:44:48.760
Right right.

1307
01:44:50.399 --> 01:45:02.399
Right here as the driven snow and now having fun. Baby,

1308
01:45:04.359 --> 01:45:09.359
it's getting kind of low because I need some one

1309
01:45:09.439 --> 01:45:12.840
on one baby, baby.

1310
01:45:13.319 --> 01:45:16.159
Little home, because live.

1311
01:45:26.880 --> 01:45:31.520
A million magic crystals, painting pure and white, a mong time,

1312
01:45:31.600 --> 01:45:37.359
million dollars almost overnight, twice as sweet is sugar, twice

1313
01:45:37.399 --> 01:45:38.359
a cent of his salt.

1314
01:45:39.039 --> 01:45:42.399
And if you're getting look, baby, it's nobody else's faults.

1315
01:45:42.439 --> 01:46:03.000
And don't do it. Hire a baby, get high, a

1316
01:46:03.119 --> 01:46:06.960
baby getting high a baby, and don't ever come down.

1317
01:46:07.079 --> 01:46:16.960
Race too high.

1318
01:46:17.880 --> 01:46:19.199
Don't you get too high?

1319
01:46:19.199 --> 01:46:19.760
A baby?

1320
01:46:22.039 --> 01:46:23.640
Really turned me on it on.

1321
01:46:25.840 --> 01:46:26.920
My temperature is.

1322
01:46:27.039 --> 01:46:31.640
Risingne No, I don't want you to go.

1323
01:46:32.000 --> 01:46:36.239
A street kid gets arrested, gonna do some time. He

1324
01:46:36.399 --> 01:46:39.680
got out three years from now just to commit more crime.

1325
01:46:40.159 --> 01:46:44.279
A businessman is caught with twenty four g those. He's

1326
01:46:44.359 --> 01:46:46.760
out on bail and out of jail, and that's the.

1327
01:46:46.800 --> 01:46:47.960
Way it goes are.

1328
01:46:49.920 --> 01:46:54.520
Suck suck up.

1329
01:46:56.600 --> 01:47:01.399
At police rejected, got the nerds corrected, gains, the thugs

1330
01:47:01.439 --> 01:47:04.079
and mother loves are thoroughly respected.

1331
01:47:04.560 --> 01:47:09.199
The money gets divided, the women get excited. Now I'm

1332
01:47:09.279 --> 01:47:12.760
broken this no joke is hard and tells you don't buy.

1333
01:47:18.960 --> 01:47:23.239
Rock.

1334
01:47:29.880 --> 01:47:35.000
Get hired, baby, Get hired girl, Get hire a baby,

1335
01:47:47.840 --> 01:47:51.880
dreams of passion, and all.

1336
01:47:51.800 --> 01:47:53.119
The while I think of you.

1337
01:47:55.359 --> 01:47:56.880
A very strange reaction.

1338
01:47:59.520 --> 01:48:00.960
The more boy.

1339
01:48:03.239 --> 01:48:03.479
Baby.

1340
01:48:18.399 --> 01:48:21.640
This is a trick. Listen to the decade of decadents

1341
01:48:21.960 --> 01:48:22.520
right here.

1342
01:48:23.520 --> 01:48:24.800
Stot back to the eighties.

1343
01:48:26.439 --> 01:48:28.800
Back to the eighties radio. We are back and you

1344
01:48:29.039 --> 01:48:33.119
just heard Grand Master Flash with white lines reminding everybody

1345
01:48:33.239 --> 01:48:35.319
listening and thanking you for taking the time out of

1346
01:48:35.439 --> 01:48:37.399
your day to listen to back to the eighties radio.

1347
01:48:37.479 --> 01:48:41.079
On this extended show, we think that it was pretty

1348
01:48:41.079 --> 01:48:43.960
important to talk about some of the things that went

1349
01:48:44.000 --> 01:48:49.119
on in nineteen eighty six and kind of just slightly

1350
01:48:49.279 --> 01:48:54.600
dip your toes in the era of the nineteen eighties.

1351
01:48:55.720 --> 01:48:59.359
So chang one of the last things, and to leave

1352
01:48:59.479 --> 01:49:02.840
on a good note here, let's make it a funny note.

1353
01:49:02.960 --> 01:49:07.039
And speaking of funny notes, the big names dominating the

1354
01:49:07.199 --> 01:49:13.479
nineteen eighties on stand up comedy? How can we forget that? Howies?

1355
01:49:14.159 --> 01:49:17.800
We had some of the greatest comedians, if not the

1356
01:49:18.000 --> 01:49:23.920
greatest comedians that will have ever set foot on stage.

1357
01:49:24.920 --> 01:49:28.119
Number one is right here with me, ladies and gentlemen.

1358
01:49:28.239 --> 01:49:31.600
Who is going to talk about the rest of the comedians?

1359
01:49:32.359 --> 01:49:34.439
And that is the chang himself.

1360
01:49:34.479 --> 01:49:38.119
And I'll tell you stand up comedy was I think

1361
01:49:38.319 --> 01:49:42.920
at its peak it was at a stand up comedy

1362
01:49:42.960 --> 01:49:45.159
in the eighties. I think was on viagra.

1363
01:49:46.039 --> 01:49:47.359
You know you.

1364
01:49:48.439 --> 01:49:55.000
The more incredibly not political political, politically correct you could

1365
01:49:55.079 --> 01:49:58.600
be would be how many people are going to check

1366
01:49:58.640 --> 01:50:02.680
you out? The notice you're gonna get, uh, you know,

1367
01:50:02.840 --> 01:50:07.520
the fame, the feedback, and when you're a comedian, you're

1368
01:50:07.600 --> 01:50:11.159
on one level. I want to hit everybody in the

1369
01:50:11.319 --> 01:50:14.600
face like they've never been hit in the face before.

1370
01:50:15.479 --> 01:50:22.159
But I want that reaction of human testimony. Are you angry?

1371
01:50:22.560 --> 01:50:25.680
Are you sad? Did I spark a nerve? Did I

1372
01:50:25.840 --> 01:50:30.479
touch you with humor in an emotional way to make

1373
01:50:30.600 --> 01:50:34.279
you wake up and recognize something needs to be changed?

1374
01:50:34.920 --> 01:50:39.520
Comics back, I mean, dude, Eddie Murphy started banging the

1375
01:50:39.560 --> 01:50:42.520
eighty straight out. You still had George Cardon. Back then

1376
01:50:43.439 --> 01:50:47.199
you had comics come in like the Dice Man Andrew

1377
01:50:47.279 --> 01:50:50.880
Dice Clay was raw edgy, he said some shit that

1378
01:50:51.039 --> 01:50:56.239
was crazy. You know, Sam Sam Kinison. I always preferred

1379
01:50:56.359 --> 01:51:03.800
Kinnison over the Dice Man. I mean, comedy was at

1380
01:51:03.880 --> 01:51:05.199
its finest.

1381
01:51:06.000 --> 01:51:06.119
Uh.

1382
01:51:06.319 --> 01:51:11.520
You know you had Judy Tanuda coming out. The chick

1383
01:51:11.640 --> 01:51:14.840
looked kind of weird. She looked hot like Madonna.

1384
01:51:15.800 --> 01:51:15.960
Uh.

1385
01:51:16.479 --> 01:51:21.119
You know, Allen DeGeneres came out in the eighties, Rita

1386
01:51:21.359 --> 01:51:26.279
rudd H, Joe Joy Behar, who's on the view and

1387
01:51:26.880 --> 01:51:30.079
now she's just a pistol Whoopy Goldberg? Well, you know what,

1388
01:51:30.479 --> 01:51:33.079
Whoopy Goldberg? I would say, yeah, she made it in

1389
01:51:33.159 --> 01:51:37.600
comedy in the eighties. Me personally, I didn't find her funny.

1390
01:51:38.399 --> 01:51:43.920
I didn't find her uh over the top. You know,

1391
01:51:44.319 --> 01:51:48.279
that was the style of comic to me. That brought

1392
01:51:48.319 --> 01:51:48.720
the pain.

1393
01:51:49.479 --> 01:51:49.600
Uh.

1394
01:51:49.920 --> 01:51:53.000
You know, you know Jerry Seinfeldt busted out in the

1395
01:51:53.119 --> 01:51:53.720
late eighties.

1396
01:51:54.479 --> 01:51:59.199
Uh, right, Bill Cosby, you know, clean family humor, remember

1397
01:51:59.399 --> 01:51:59.960
Bill Cosby?

1398
01:52:00.079 --> 01:52:04.880
Yeah, The Cosby Show was a clean comedy stand up

1399
01:52:05.000 --> 01:52:07.479
It was kind of based on his stand up show,

1400
01:52:07.680 --> 01:52:10.760
but it was clean, which was great, and it painted

1401
01:52:10.880 --> 01:52:15.800
a perfect picture on breaking away from what people thought

1402
01:52:15.840 --> 01:52:19.640
of black people. I thought they did an exceptional job

1403
01:52:19.760 --> 01:52:24.920
on that. But you know what he did later, You know,

1404
01:52:25.039 --> 01:52:28.600
I can't get away from. But if we're talking about

1405
01:52:28.680 --> 01:52:32.520
stand up comedy, I think then we need to talk

1406
01:52:32.560 --> 01:52:39.640
about people like Robin Williams, Louis Anderson, you know, the

1407
01:52:39.840 --> 01:52:44.720
guys that you know they tested the water to be

1408
01:52:44.800 --> 01:52:49.880
a great comedian. I believe from my own experience. I

1409
01:52:49.960 --> 01:52:53.399
look at every time I told the joke I was fishing,

1410
01:52:54.279 --> 01:52:56.800
I would throw a lure out there, see who would bite.

1411
01:52:58.079 --> 01:53:00.680
I always used to like to stick around in the

1412
01:53:00.840 --> 01:53:06.520
background and observe the crowd as they gather the age

1413
01:53:06.640 --> 01:53:11.079
bracket kind of okay. I would like to notice who's drinking,

1414
01:53:11.159 --> 01:53:14.920
who's there for a party, you know, who's who's having

1415
01:53:14.960 --> 01:53:17.319
a party a little bit too quick, who's a little

1416
01:53:17.359 --> 01:53:21.239
bit rambunctious. I would always look at the race, you know,

1417
01:53:21.920 --> 01:53:26.560
the sexual uh kind of chemistry in there, and then

1418
01:53:26.640 --> 01:53:29.159
I would go, well, I would assess that. Then I

1419
01:53:29.199 --> 01:53:32.760
would go on stage and attack them like a kickboxer.

1420
01:53:33.720 --> 01:53:37.800
So right, what about you know you had some other ones,

1421
01:53:37.960 --> 01:53:42.000
what about like Richard Pryor and Rodney Danger.

1422
01:53:42.319 --> 01:53:48.039
Rodney Gangerville. Filled embarked, you know, on Johnny Carson, and uh,

1423
01:53:48.640 --> 01:53:50.960
you got to give it up. That's one of my idols.

1424
01:53:51.600 --> 01:53:51.760
You know.

1425
01:53:52.000 --> 01:53:54.399
Rodney hid it at a time where he was already

1426
01:53:54.399 --> 01:53:57.439
an older guy looking older. You know, he was kind

1427
01:53:57.479 --> 01:53:59.279
of guy like me. You know, he was busting his

1428
01:53:59.439 --> 01:54:04.359
ass working with tools. Now he embarked in stand up comedy,

1429
01:54:04.399 --> 01:54:08.159
and I think that gave uh stand up comedy the

1430
01:54:08.640 --> 01:54:12.880
comedy of the eighties kind of that. Like Bold, I'll

1431
01:54:12.960 --> 01:54:15.319
say whatever I'm gonna say, but the jokes are on me.

1432
01:54:16.359 --> 01:54:18.319
The way I look and the way I deliver them.

1433
01:54:18.359 --> 01:54:20.000
It's going to take you back to the era of

1434
01:54:20.119 --> 01:54:24.119
Don Rickles, you know, not like Lenny Bruce. God bless

1435
01:54:24.199 --> 01:54:24.720
Lanny Bruce.

1436
01:54:24.760 --> 01:54:25.760
I was one of my idols.

1437
01:54:26.279 --> 01:54:31.760
But or Red Fox also. Red Fox was very very upfront.

1438
01:54:31.800 --> 01:54:36.000
He was very derogatory. You know, if you listen to

1439
01:54:36.079 --> 01:54:39.800
Red Fox, anybody out there, that guy's Richard Pryor before

1440
01:54:39.920 --> 01:54:43.439
Richard Pryor. I mean he calls it as he sees it.

1441
01:54:43.600 --> 01:54:47.279
He you know, he makes reference to the anatomy the

1442
01:54:47.359 --> 01:54:51.640
way that street cats do. But as you got back

1443
01:54:51.680 --> 01:54:58.079
into the eighties, then you all you had Stephen Wright, h.

1444
01:54:59.640 --> 01:55:01.319
You what was his name?

1445
01:55:02.359 --> 01:55:05.239
He's Billy Joel's buddy Lewis.

1446
01:55:05.560 --> 01:55:07.000
Uh, what is his name?

1447
01:55:07.079 --> 01:55:10.520
Something? Lewis Jesus. I hate when I forget his name.

1448
01:55:11.960 --> 01:55:12.239
Louis.

1449
01:55:12.600 --> 01:55:18.560
I mentioned Louis Anderson, Richard Lewis, Richard Lewis. I mean,

1450
01:55:19.239 --> 01:55:25.079
what about the unknown comic Bob Goldway, Yes, Bob Goldway.

1451
01:55:25.680 --> 01:55:27.760
You know what I can't. I can honestly say, I

1452
01:55:27.800 --> 01:55:30.119
don't know if people I'm going to offend anybody. I

1453
01:55:30.239 --> 01:55:36.760
didn't find intelligence, I didn't find depth, and I really

1454
01:55:36.840 --> 01:55:39.399
didn't know concept of his humor.

1455
01:55:39.600 --> 01:55:43.840
I really don't, all right. And then there was John Candy,

1456
01:55:44.000 --> 01:55:44.800
Chevy Chase.

1457
01:55:44.680 --> 01:55:48.239
Oh wait a minute, Bill Murray stand up comedy, and

1458
01:55:48.359 --> 01:55:51.359
before we get off realms. Stand up comedy is different

1459
01:55:51.399 --> 01:55:56.520
than improv comedy. Individuals on sn L. That's improv comedy

1460
01:55:56.560 --> 01:55:58.000
and the only way, you know, I don't want to

1461
01:55:58.039 --> 01:56:02.720
offend anybody, but I did both. I started in stand up.

1462
01:56:02.800 --> 01:56:05.079
It was a truth or dare I got into improv.

1463
01:56:05.159 --> 01:56:08.399
I did some improv. I did a couple of gigs improv,

1464
01:56:08.920 --> 01:56:12.239
and when I did do stand up, I did improv.

1465
01:56:12.359 --> 01:56:14.319
I do I try to do improv whenever I crack

1466
01:56:14.359 --> 01:56:17.039
a my mic. If I have to, I just roll

1467
01:56:17.199 --> 01:56:21.439
the punches. But there's a difference. Improv comedy is acting.

1468
01:56:22.359 --> 01:56:25.520
You have to have topics, you have to have ideas

1469
01:56:25.600 --> 01:56:28.680
before you roll, but then you roll fresh. Stand up

1470
01:56:28.760 --> 01:56:33.680
comedy to me is like that individual's perspective on what

1471
01:56:33.880 --> 01:56:36.640
he sees in his life or in her life or

1472
01:56:36.720 --> 01:56:39.680
the things around it. Stand up comedy to me is

1473
01:56:39.760 --> 01:56:45.399
a question. You're question your you are questioning the realms

1474
01:56:45.439 --> 01:56:51.399
of normality. You're questioning your existence, what people think, and

1475
01:56:51.520 --> 01:56:56.319
you're questioning the similarities of people. But you're doing it

1476
01:56:56.560 --> 01:56:59.079
in your own way, you know what I mean, where

1477
01:56:59.119 --> 01:57:02.239
it could be a little bit like you're bagging on it,

1478
01:57:02.680 --> 01:57:06.600
you're harping on it, you're attacking it, or you're attacking

1479
01:57:06.720 --> 01:57:10.520
it to where you like everybody, everybody's human, we're on

1480
01:57:10.640 --> 01:57:11.640
the same page, right there.

1481
01:57:11.760 --> 01:57:14.079
No, No, I yeah, I know I get that. But

1482
01:57:14.479 --> 01:57:17.880
I only mentioned some of the people from SNL because

1483
01:57:17.920 --> 01:57:21.520
you had mentioned, uh, you know, some of the people

1484
01:57:21.600 --> 01:57:26.800
who were on Late Night as well. Don't forget there

1485
01:57:26.920 --> 01:57:31.880
was also other people that were stand up comics like

1486
01:57:32.039 --> 01:57:39.079
Sindbad remember you know, uh, Yakov Smirnov and Gilbert Gottfried.

1487
01:57:39.159 --> 01:57:43.920
So The list goes on and on, and I think

1488
01:57:43.960 --> 01:57:49.159
the eighties gave us, uh just a a perfect era.

1489
01:57:49.600 --> 01:57:53.319
My favorite I think of all time besides Robin Williams,

1490
01:57:54.680 --> 01:57:56.760
Eddie Murphy definitely is the one that probably made me

1491
01:57:56.920 --> 01:58:04.600
laugh the hardest. And I don't think anybody can top that.

1492
01:58:06.640 --> 01:58:12.279
But that's just of course, relative to uh, you know,

1493
01:58:12.399 --> 01:58:16.439
compared to today. So who was your favorite of all time?

1494
01:58:16.560 --> 01:58:17.800
Did you have a favorite?

1495
01:58:18.079 --> 01:58:21.520
We're talking of all time? My entire life from a child, because.

1496
01:58:22.600 --> 01:58:23.960
Yeah, who's your favorite? Comment?

1497
01:58:24.239 --> 01:58:26.479
I gotta tell you, man, because I know you're doing

1498
01:58:26.520 --> 01:58:29.359
it again. I love the way your sudden approaches to

1499
01:58:29.520 --> 01:58:31.359
tell the listeners how fucking old I am.

1500
01:58:31.479 --> 01:58:36.960
Yeah, Oh well, who are you gonna say? Jack Benny?

1501
01:58:38.119 --> 01:58:41.399
Come on, Honestly, Jack Benny was not one of my

1502
01:58:41.600 --> 01:58:45.560
favorites now, okay, So if we're going to go all

1503
01:58:45.600 --> 01:58:50.560
the way back to where, Yeah, well, I liked the

1504
01:58:50.720 --> 01:58:53.359
first comic I've ever seen on TV.

1505
01:58:54.439 --> 01:58:57.720
That I like, right, Oh my gosh, yeah, he went black?

1506
01:58:57.760 --> 01:59:02.840
And I gotta go with Don Rickles. Well, yeah, the

1507
01:59:03.039 --> 01:59:08.920
King of Roasting, the first comedian that I ever heard

1508
01:59:09.800 --> 01:59:15.640
X rated and not on TV by an album The

1509
01:59:15.720 --> 01:59:22.319
Godfather Lenny Bruce after that, Red Fox and George Carlin.

1510
01:59:22.880 --> 01:59:24.000
And these are your favorites.

1511
01:59:24.359 --> 01:59:27.079
These are my favorites that I grew up listening to,

1512
01:59:27.399 --> 01:59:32.520
and as I'm compiling my list, these are comedians that

1513
01:59:32.640 --> 01:59:38.159
my father allowed me to listen to, told me that

1514
01:59:38.279 --> 01:59:42.359
I would learn from them on certain aspects of life.

1515
01:59:42.920 --> 01:59:45.800
But this is from a dad that you know. He

1516
01:59:46.039 --> 01:59:49.760
was a He was a decorated four fucking year veteran

1517
01:59:49.840 --> 01:59:52.960
of Korea. That motherfucker killed people. My old man was

1518
01:59:53.000 --> 01:59:56.000
a badass head. But my my old man grew up

1519
01:59:56.039 --> 01:59:58.640
in East La well as he went to the service

1520
01:59:58.760 --> 02:00:03.000
to support my mom and my aunts at seventeen, so

1521
02:00:04.399 --> 02:00:08.760
he always had kind of like a sense of reality

1522
02:00:09.640 --> 02:00:11.520
my own man saw at an early age. You know,

1523
02:00:11.640 --> 02:00:13.560
my kid, he jokes around all the time. He's always

1524
02:00:13.560 --> 02:00:16.239
getting in trouble. He's and I had no problem getting

1525
02:00:16.279 --> 02:00:19.680
in trouble. The more checks on the border, my name meant,

1526
02:00:20.720 --> 02:00:23.279
I find that the more stupidity I could cause. If

1527
02:00:23.319 --> 02:00:25.439
I could stand on the desk and grab the attention

1528
02:00:25.560 --> 02:00:30.039
from the teacher, Bam bam, I win. So anyway, you're

1529
02:00:30.039 --> 02:00:32.359
asking me that question, and it goes back to the seventies,

1530
02:00:32.399 --> 02:00:33.640
and you know, and like I said, I got in

1531
02:00:33.720 --> 02:00:38.479
a George Cardon, you know, then Richard Pryor, you know

1532
02:00:38.640 --> 02:00:38.920
I was.

1533
02:00:40.239 --> 02:00:41.279
I was into.

1534
02:00:44.079 --> 02:00:50.880
Of course, Robin Williams, Jonathan Winters, you know, Nipsey Russell.

1535
02:00:53.079 --> 02:00:57.239
Then the unknown comic cats like that, you know, started

1536
02:00:58.239 --> 02:01:02.439
you know, feeding my mind. So I can't say who

1537
02:01:02.560 --> 02:01:06.159
is my most favorite. I could only list where it

1538
02:01:06.319 --> 02:01:09.319
took me mentally, and who is my favorite in each

1539
02:01:10.399 --> 02:01:11.479
era that I mentioned?

1540
02:01:13.000 --> 02:01:15.600
Okay, so you didn't have a favorite, You just mentioned

1541
02:01:15.640 --> 02:01:17.920
that I loved them all, all right.

1542
02:01:17.880 --> 02:01:21.439
You know? Of course, Yeah it's you sack a monkey too.

1543
02:01:23.800 --> 02:01:25.680
Ladies and gentlemen. As we get ready to close this

1544
02:01:25.840 --> 02:01:29.840
one out tonight, we've been talking about nineteen eighty six

1545
02:01:30.439 --> 02:01:34.560
and beyond and prior to the music, lights, the energy,

1546
02:01:34.720 --> 02:01:41.039
the life. But maybe what made it special wasn't just

1547
02:01:41.159 --> 02:01:44.920
what we heard, but it was what we felt inside.

1548
02:01:46.520 --> 02:01:48.840
Because we didn't carry the world like we do now

1549
02:01:48.960 --> 02:01:53.840
in our pocket. We carried and you carried those moments

1550
02:01:53.880 --> 02:01:57.960
in your memory. We waited for things, We waited for

1551
02:01:58.119 --> 02:02:01.800
people to show up, We waited for songs. We lived

1552
02:02:01.880 --> 02:02:05.399
things as they happened, not after they were posted. And

1553
02:02:05.640 --> 02:02:10.439
no it wasn't perfect. We had struggles, We had stories,

1554
02:02:10.960 --> 02:02:14.600
things that happened behind the scenes, and nobody knows that

1555
02:02:14.760 --> 02:02:19.359
some people saw, but it was what we went through.

1556
02:02:19.920 --> 02:02:23.079
And so tonight, as you head home from wherever you are,

1557
02:02:23.239 --> 02:02:25.000
or maybe you are at home, you sit there in

1558
02:02:25.079 --> 02:02:28.279
a moment, in the quiet, and you want you to

1559
02:02:28.319 --> 02:02:32.039
ask yourself something simple, When was the last time you

1560
02:02:32.199 --> 02:02:40.239
were fully there, there in a moment, without distractions, without

1561
02:02:40.399 --> 02:02:46.000
rushing to the next thing. Because I don't know about you, Chang.

1562
02:02:46.800 --> 02:02:50.479
Actually I do know. For both Chang and I, the

1563
02:02:50.600 --> 02:02:55.199
eighties if they left us anything, it wasn't just the music.

1564
02:02:57.039 --> 02:02:59.359
It was a reminder to be present and to be

1565
02:02:59.520 --> 02:03:04.600
real and to actually live life in front of us

1566
02:03:05.840 --> 02:03:08.520
on behalf of Tuscano and Chang. I'm Tuscano. This is

1567
02:03:08.960 --> 02:03:11.800
the one and only back to the eighties radio and

1568
02:03:11.920 --> 02:03:14.000
we'll see you next time when the music meant more

1569
02:03:15.199 --> 02:03:16.600
that somehow still does.

1570
02:03:18.039 --> 02:03:23.039
Chang. Before we release you to another changtastic week, remember

1571
02:03:23.840 --> 02:03:26.920
stand up straight, stand up for yourself, stand up for

1572
02:03:27.039 --> 02:03:31.560
something bigger than you, and remember you matter. Don't you

1573
02:03:31.640 --> 02:03:36.520
dare give up? Because quitters they're not bass hitters. Arios
