Speaker 1:
ZAR electrodes Natasha.
Speaker 2:
You've got the feeling and it's out there growing. Hey everybody, this is Jim Boge and you're listening to Music in my Shoes. That was Vic Thrill kicking off Episode 16. As always, I'm thrilled to be here with you. Let's learn something new or remember something old.
Speaker 2:
I saw that the movie Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure was turning 35 years old. If you don't remember, alex Winter is Bill, keanu Reeves as Ted and George Carlin as Rufus. If I remember correctly, bill and Ted are failing their history class and they go back in time to meet historical figures in a telephone booth time machine. One of the people that they went to see was Socrates, about 23-. Socrates, socrates, yes, 23-2400 years ago. They interrupt him while he's speaking to some people, kind of in like a courtyard, and Bill says that Ted philosophizes with Socrates, socrates. So Ted quotes the Kansas song with all we are is dust in the wind, dude. Bill picks up dirt and says dust, blows it off his hand and says wind. And then Ted points to Socrates and says dude, I think that's funny as heck. I just absolutely love that. So it all makes sense to Socrates and he utters his famous line yes, like sands of the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.
Speaker 2:
I could watch that over and over and over and I'm going to be honest, I did. When I saw that this was turning 35 years old, I went on YouTube and I kept watching it and I just kept laughing and it's tough for me to say this with a straight face. That movie is a really good movie. It's so silly, it's good. It's one of those type of movies. That's what I really like about that.
Speaker 2:
So if we move on, recently I was at the National Hockey League Stadium series game where the New York Islanders and the New York Rangers played. Outdoors at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, I ran into a friend, robin. I had not seen her since 1984, 40 years since I saw her. She posted on Facebook that she would be up from Florida to see the game. As my brother and I are walking to our seats, I realize she's about three feet ahead of us. I see her husband and his last name is on a jersey and I'm like I think that looks like Robin. So we talk a while, we catch up, and I know you're saying what's that have to do with music? Because this is called music in my shoes, not hockey in my shoes.
Speaker 1:
Or music in my skates.
Speaker 2:
Not at all. It is not. But I'm going to tell you and I'm glad you asked so. Back on September 25th 1980, a bunch of us had met up at our house after school and that's where I heard that Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham had died earlier that day, and it's always stuck with me. I remember that. I know that that's not a huge thing.
Speaker 1:
Sounds like our Kennedy.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, I was 13. And you're 13 and someone you know that happens. You're like, oh my Lord, how can that be? What's going to happen with Led Zeppelin? And for those of you that don't know, he fell asleep, ended up choking on his own vomit after a heavy day of drinking alcohol and again, being 13, not, you know, knowing too many rock stars at that time. You know, I know that you know Jim Morrison and Janice Joplin and Brian Jones and there's a whole list of people, Jimi Hendrix, but being alive and getting the news that day of it actually happening, being someone that loved music, you know we've talked about Led Zeppelin and different things about when I was of that age that I loved listening to and playing agaritar and air drums. You know it has an effect on you. It definitely does. And to think, you know I've never forgotten that. You know I talked about it the other day. You know like it was. You know 1980, all over again. And little do we know that just a few months later John Lennon would be slain in New York and to me that was, you know, a much bigger deal than you know with with John Bonham. Nevertheless, it was good to see her and it was good, after 40 years, to actually see someone and recognize them.
Speaker 2:
So on February 27th 1984, queen the Works album came out and it had that song, radio Gaga. Do you remember that song, jimmy? Yeah, radio Gaga came out. It actually came out as a single in January of 84. And it's kind of an ode to how radio once was and how it's going to be missed and how videos are being watched and the visual has become more important than the song itself. While I didn't really like it when it came out because, I'm gonna be honest, I didn't, I didn't like it at all it was a worldwide hit and a highlight for Queen during their live aid performance in 1985. And I couldn't understand. If you watch live aid, I watched it live and all these people at Wembley were absolutely going bonkers when he started singing Radio Gaga.
Speaker 1:
It was their most recent hit at the time right.
Speaker 2:
It was. It was probably their most recent, Actually, no, they actually had I Want to Break Free had come out after that.
Speaker 1:
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:
I Want to Break Free. That came out later in 84. It was not as big a hit as Radio Gaga, but it's shown up in some commercials over the last couple of years. I can't think of you know any off the top of my head, but there's been some commercials while the TV's on that all of a sudden you hear Freddie Mercury say I want to break free and you know something's happening. But Radio Gaga, I'd like it. Now it comes on, I don't turn it off. I'm not sure what's happened because I just was like this is not Queen, this is not anything like Queen whatsoever, but for some reason it's kind of grown on me and now I kind of like listening to the live aid performance and you know I've mellowed out a little bit, you know, after all these years. I guess it is.
Speaker 1:
I'll have to revisit it.
Speaker 2:
Please do revisit it and tell me what you think. Check out the video as well, from Live Aid, july 13th 1985.
Speaker 1:
They, they recreated that really well in that Queen movie.
Speaker 2:
I'm going to be honest, I have not seen that. I might be the only person who has not seen that movie, and it's for no reason that I haven't seen it, I just haven't seen it at all. I need to check that out as well, and you know, we can kind of reconvene. But I heard they did a great job making Live Aid. Look like it was really live aid in the movie.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, they obviously went kind of like shot by shot and made sure they were doing everything exactly the way it happened.
Speaker 2:
Nothing wrong with that. There's a lot of movies or documentaries where they, you know, redo something and it's nothing like what it originally was and you have in your mind oh, that's how it was, but it really wasn't like that at all. So the next thing we're going to talk about is something that I don't have to do a whole lot. But in February of 1994, we go back 30 years Pavement had the song Cut your Hair. That came out, so it's probably one of the best indie songs of all time. And my interpretation and tell me, jimmy, what you think you know once I tell you my interpretation, the song, my interpretation is it's about the music industry putting image over quality and that you need the right look instead of substance. That, to me, is really what the song comes down to. Your thoughts.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, I think so, you know. And whether it's about the industry or whether it's just about people that feel that way, you know, I don't care. Did you see the drummer's hair?
Speaker 2:
There you go, that type of thing.
Speaker 1:
I love that album, though it's Crooked Rain. Crooked Rain and Pavement's second album. It's just a masterpiece. So many great songs on that.
Speaker 2:
So I know that that is considered, you know, one of the best albums you know of indie bands of all time. What's the difference between that? What was the first one? Slightly enchanted? Was it slanted and enchanted? What's the difference between the two of them?
Speaker 1:
I would say that, slanted and enchanted. First of all, pavement was kind of unlike any band that had come before them. So for me that was a really big album that, wow, these guys are doing something. They've got a totally new angle on things and by Crooked Rain they had grown. You know, is that sophomore album right, right, and so instead of being a collection of all these disparate songs that I felt like the first record was more like, oh, they made a single and they threw that on the record. They made this other single and there were a lot of different styles that they had on the first record. I liked it all, but Crooked Rain was like an album, you know, that really just held together, and the songs that it opens with a song called Silence Kit elevate me. Later it's got gold sounds, which is one of their.
Speaker 2:
I do like gold sounds. I do like that.
Speaker 1:
And then the last song is Fillmore Jive and it's the chorus is I need to sleep, why won't you let me? And when I saw Pavement last year at the Brooklyn Theater they were coming out for an encore and I was like I feel like they should play Fillmore Jive right here. That would be like the perfect way to end this show. And they played it and I thought, oh well, they must like close every show with that. And I looked up their set list and it's like that was the only show that they even played that song. So I called Fillmore Jive. I wished it into existence at the Brooklyn Theater.
Speaker 2:
Where is the Brooklyn Theater?
Speaker 1:
Somewhere in Brooklyn, new York oh so actually in Brooklyn?
Speaker 2:
Yeah, oh, very nice yeah.
Speaker 1:
I didn't get tickets to the Atlanta show I spaced out on, you know, going on at Friday at 10am and Ticketmaster and everything and resale tickets were crazy expensive. My daughter lives in New York Good reason to go to New York. Took the family to see Pavement.
Speaker 2:
Now that is a family trip if I've ever heard of. Oh yeah, it was awesome. So we moved back to 1984, three big rock songs that came out in February Bon Jovi, runaway, dun dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, yeah, yeah, actually, that is it. I do appreciate that, jimmy. Great job. Yes, that is it. So anybody that doesn't know what song we were talking about, I hope you do now, okay, because that was really good.
Speaker 1:
That wasn't a recording of the song. That was actually me doing that with my mouth.
Speaker 2:
I wasn't sure. I mean, even though I'm looking at you, I didn't know what was going on. But that was great. It's impressive.
Speaker 2:
A little bit about that song is Radio Station WAPP. We actually mentioned them a couple of episodes ago when we were talking about the 96 Rock Card and someone had sent in the mailbag about WAPP in New York doing the same thing. So WAPP in New York City had a best unsigned band contest in the summer of 1983. And the stories are different. I always thought that Runaway won the contest, but there's other people that said they didn't. I researched and it's all over the place. He came in first or he came in second and I can't get anything consistent as to what happened. But what I do know is it ended up being the lead single off Bon Jovi's debut album when it was released nationally in February 1984. So living on Long Island in 83 WAPP being one of the big stations around we heard that for quite some time before the song actually was released and it's kind of infectious. You just did that beginning keyboard part there.
Speaker 2:
It kind of gets you into the whole thing. So the opening keyboard notes were played by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band's keyboardist, roy Bitten. He also played piano on Meatloaf's Bad At a Hell, which we've talked about before, and he also played on Dyer Straits' Making Movies album which came out in 1980. One of my favorite songs of all time in my top 100 is Skate Away, and he does just a fantastic, unbelievable job playing piano on that song. Love it. And that's just the name of few. I mean, he's done so much besides playing for Bruce Springsteen. Great keyboard play. If you ever get the opportunity to listen to him, check him out.
Speaker 1:
All right.
Speaker 2:
Rat round and round. All right, I like this song. I'm not going to hide it. I've liked it since the first day it came out. It's got that hair metal guitar beginning, but without the heavy rotation on MTV I don't think it would have been a hit. It was on MTV, it just seemed round the clock all the time. Do you remember Milton Burrell? Milton Burrell was in the video.
Speaker 1:
Oh really.
Speaker 2:
Yes, so Milton Burrell was in the video. He was the uncle of Rats manager Uncle Milti. Uncle Milti, and that was the connection to get him into the video. You hadn't seen Uncle Milti in quite some time but he was a famous comedian. He was really really popular in the 1950s. This was a little bit later in his life but he kind of dressed as two different people. There was a dinner going on and the people that Milton Burrell was portraying didn't like the heavy hard rock music and were kind of getting bothered by it and rats playing in a different room and the ceiling starting to come down on the dinner table.
Speaker 1:
That's a familiar theme in heavy metal videos is like somebody's trying to do something respectable and this heavy metal band is messing it all up.
Speaker 2:
It truly is. You are right about that, you really are. And then the last band song that we'll talk about here Scorpions Rock you Like a Hurricane. Another one from February 84. It actually hit number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles. And again, another heavy rotation on MTV had that guitar sound in the beginning that you knew that it was this 80s hard rock type music. Again, another song that I like. I still like them. I think they're really good songs, not for everybody, but I thought that we would at least mention them here. On Music in my Shoes, because again, it's music in my shoes. Hey, jimmy, you know what time it is.
Speaker 1:
Music in my shoes Mailbag.
Speaker 2:
Yes, it is Music in my shoes Mailbag time. Hey, from Tom in Florida. He writes fun memories, great photos and great job with the podcast. So he's talking about photos. If you go to the Facebook page Music in my Shoes, each week when we release an episode, we try and put up a few pictures that relate to the episode, and I actually put up some pictures from my senior variety show for people to check out. Your co-host, jimmy, is fun and knowledgeable as well.
Speaker 1:
Hey, I like that A little shout out to Jimmy.
Speaker 2:
I like that. You know people love Jimmy. We talked about that before.
Speaker 1:
Thanks, people.
Speaker 2:
There you go, moving on Kathy and Hartwell Georgia.
Speaker 1:
Oh, kathy and Hartwell yes.
Speaker 2:
I wanted to reach out and let you know how my husband and I are enjoying the show. We especially liked when you and Jimmy G started naming your favorite live albums. We have really enjoyed the Spotify playlist for each episode so we can hear the songs Y'all mentioned in each show. Did I do good with that? Because I don't say Y'all that often.
Speaker 1:
You did really well.
Speaker 2:
Thank you, I appreciate that. And again, the Spotify playlist is on the Music in my Shoes Facebook page that after every episode we posted there so you can actually listen to the songs that we talked about. Maybe you know some of them, Maybe you don't. You can hear them again or hear them for the first time. She writes we listen to them in the car and sing along while we air guitar and air drum to them. Sounds like someone that I know. So it says two questions for you both who is your all-time favorite guitarist and what are your thoughts about Prince? So we're gonna start with you, Jimmy. Put you on the spot. All-time favorite guitarist.
Speaker 1:
I am gonna say Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols.
Speaker 2:
Wow, did not see that coming. Yeah, did not see that coming yeah.
Speaker 1:
I mean I'm tempted to say other things, but that's, he's my guitar spirit animal. He invented punk guitar and I love it.
Speaker 2:
So, for those of you that don't know, jimmy has played in bands and, as a musician, probably looks at it much differently than I do, because I'm not a musician, I'm not a singer, but Jimmy is, so that's why he's kind of explaining it that way, which makes sense to me. I get that.
Speaker 1:
If we were saying best guitarist, if we were saying you know the technical and all that kind of stuff best solos, you know, maybe it's not Steve Jones, but best my favorite guitarist, steve Jones.
Speaker 2:
That makes sense. I like that. So for me, I'm not sure I can say my favorite. You know, I think with the show I hope people have seen that I've talked about a whole bunch of different bands and artists and all different years and genres and so forth and it's kind of like what I'm in the mood for at that time. If I'm in the mood for rock and I want to hear this, you know, maybe this is what I'm listening to and I'm like, oh God, you know, eddie Van Halen can really do this. But there's other times where I'm listening to New Wave and I'm like Johnny Maher is unbelievable and I can go through whether it's Pete Townsend or, you know, keith Richards or whatever. I don't think I can really say who my favorite is by any means.
Speaker 1:
Music's not a competition.
Speaker 2:
It's not. It is not a competition at all, but and that's not really meant to be a cop out by any means but I just enjoy music so much at different times. Different things is what I want to listen to, and I want to hear different type of guitar depending on what my mood is in, so I can't say a special, specific person by any means.
Speaker 1:
Who is a rock guitarist that you really like? Who pops to mind? You don't have to hold to this as your favorite.
Speaker 2:
I like Jimmy Page on the studio albums. I think he did a good job producing them, so the sound was pretty cool. Yeah, I like Pete Townsend. I love Johnny Maher. I really do. I didn't prepare for this. I really wanted it to come across, as you know, me answering the question really honestly, but that's kind of you know how it is. I mean, I really like Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, he's great.
Speaker 2:
I love his guitar playing and he still plays really, really well all these years later. He really does. So, speaking of guitar players, kathy asked us our thoughts on Prince and I'm going to go first on this one. So Prince, the song 1999 came out late 1982. Little Red Corvette in 1983. All over the radio, all over MTV. I liked them. I thought they were pretty good. I liked a few of the songs off of Purple Rain, especially the song Take Me With you For some reason, just really really like that song. It's my favorite song off the album and I like Raspberry Beret, paisley Park and Pop Life off 1985s around the world in a day. One of my favorite all time one off super group performances is from the 2004 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, I thought you were going to say that.
Speaker 2:
And it had-.
Speaker 1:
My guitar gently weeps.
Speaker 2:
My guitar while my guitar gently weeps and it had. It was a tribute to George Harrison, who had passed away and now has been inducted into the Hall of Fame as a solo artist, and his traveling Will Berry bandmates. Tom Petty, jeff Linn of ELO were in it, as well as Steve Winwood of Spencer Davis, group Traffic, blind Faith and Solo. He's a whole another episode just to talk about all the different things that he's done. And Prince with the sword and other musicians and they come out playing while my guitar gently weeps, as you mentioned. It's an all time instant classic.
Speaker 2:
From the first time I saw it I could not believe it. So the song starts with Prince. He's on the far end of the stage Like you're seeing him for a split second and then he's like gone, you don't know where he's at. The band plays does a great tribute to George Mark Mann, who was playing with Jeff Linn. He handles all the lead guitar parts and it's like he played them note for note. Did a great job. Only problem is that the solos in the original were done by Eric Clapton and not George Harrison, but that's not really a problem in the end Great, great version. So it gets near the end of the song and then, all of a sudden, prince takes it away, moves into view on stage and starts playing a jaw dropping solo. That is absolutely insane. It really is amazing. If you haven't seen or heard it, I really recommend that you do. You will not be disappointed.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, it makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up. It's like one of those guitar solos.
Speaker 2:
It's insane, it's absolutely insane. So I talked about that other stuff because I didn't want people to think that I'm like this huge Prince fan and everything Prince does is great. I'm not gonna say that. I told you some of the things that I liked, but I definitely think this is one of the greatest one-off supergroup bands ever put together and ever played and ever actually pulled something off. A lot of times you see these things and it doesn't work. They did such a wonderful job. I just thought it was fantastic.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, that was cool. I was not a huge Prince fan back in the day, you know I did. You couldn't avoid the songs Purple Rain. I was in the eighth or ninth grade when that came out, so it was the biggest deal out there and you know I had good songs on it but I wasn't into Prince. But I saw him live early 2000s. It was probably just before that Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on the Musicology Tour. Maybe I have the dates wrong, but it was sometime around year 2000. And it was amazing. Like he is such an incredible musician was performer, guitar player, piano player, singer, just everything that he does. And of course he writes all the music and yeah, it was an incredible show. I'm so glad I saw it.
Speaker 2:
That's awesome. I think that I could say about Prince today, looking back upon him, is that he was one of the rare people that he could have just been a Rock and Roll guitarist and would have done great. He could have been a R&B guitarist and would have been great. He could have been a pop star and would have been great, like he could have done just any of those genres or even others. And he chose to do all of them and he was successful at it.
Speaker 2:
Now, I didn't like all of the stuff that he did. I'm not saying it wasn't good by any means. I just talked about how great of a job he did with this solo and while my guitar gently weeps. But for me it would have been cool to see some more of the rock stuff that he could have accomplished, because when he played that song at one point it's almost you think Eddie Van Halen's playing, you think Jimi Hendrix is playing, you think Prince is playing. It's just, it's that good, it really, really is. And then at the end of the video I had forgotten about this, I totally did he throws the guitar up.
Speaker 1:
And it doesn't come down it doesn't come down, he walks away.
Speaker 2:
So I how did they pull that off?
Speaker 1:
Do you have a guy up there?
Speaker 2:
I did research, I I went through trying to find every article I could find about it and every single article all said I don't know what happened to the guitar, including guys that were on the stage. They don't know what happened. It just was gone. I mean, how does that happen?
Speaker 1:
If you're Prince, you make that happen.
Speaker 2:
I've heard some stories about him meeting people Dave Grohl and other people and the just craziness of what it's like to be with Prince and at the end then basically saying, well, it's Prince, so everyone accepts it, so well. Last thing Kathy said is I love learning something new or remembering something old with each and every episode, and that's kind of been our theme since the beginning, when we first started. So it's great to hear that and, kathy, we really appreciate it, tom, we appreciate it and everybody else that reaches out, we appreciate you know everything that you do.

Speaker 2:
So, jimmy, we've talked about the Beatles on Ed Sullivan before, but a couple of days after the Ed Sullivan show, back in February 1964, they actually played their first US concert, which was at Washington DC at the Washington Coliseum, and usually back then they were about a 30 minute performance that was considered like a full length show by a band. They would have a ton of people that would play in the headliners. 30 minutes was, you know really, where they would clock in. So this show was done in the round, and in the round means it's in the, they're in the middle and all the seats are circular, going all around them.
Speaker 2:
So after every third song they literally would take Ringo Starr's drum kit and turn it around 180 degrees, grab the mics and go on the other side and sing to the back half of the audience. And they would do that every third song up until the last song, when they just decided going all the way around was too much. They mentioned that they were already over time. So they just went to their left and they just looked at the audience on the left and they just started playing. It was just really really crazy to think about. You know, you too, just playing at the sphere and all the money and everything that goes into it. And the best the Beatles could do on their first concert in America was keep turning Ringo Starr's drum kit and dragging the microphones to the back side of the stage, just back to the front of the stage.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, they could have just put some other microphones back there.
Speaker 2:
I don't think that they could afford them at the time. Don't think they could. But one thing is they actually decided to have George Harrison open up. He started with Roll Over Beethoven, which was not necessarily the norm for them. You know, usually it would be John or Paul or a John and Paul song that would go. They decided to give George a go at it and let him go. You know they did a lot of the normal stuff.
Speaker 2:
You know, I saw her standing there. All my loving Ringo got a chance with I Want to Be your man till. There was you. She loves you. I want to hold your hand. And they finished up with Long, Tall, Sally. Like I said, they just moved everything to the left and that was the introduction for the first Beatles concert here in America. All right, All right. Hey, that's it for episode 16 of Music in my Shoes. I'd like to thank Jimmy Guthrie, show producer and owner of Arcade 160 Studios located here in Atlanta, Georgia, and to Vic Thrill for our podcast music. This is Jim Boge, and I hope you learned something new or remembered something old, because Kathy told you to We'll meet again on our next episode. Until then, keep the music playing.
