Shaun Squad Society
The Shaun Squad Society Podcast is a podcast written, produced and hosted by three women who want to keep the Magic of a Midnight Sky alive!
Cindy, Dorese and Dame became friends at a Shaun Cassidy concert and immediately decided to form "The Shaun Squad." Soon after, the Shaun Squad Society Podcast was conceived to discuss and reminisce about all-things Shaun Cassidy, from his first years as a teen idol to his current career as a writer and producer.
This podcast brings together a community of Shaun's devoted fans, the ones who played his albums non-stop, and who tuned into The Hardy Boys Mysteries every Sunday evening. And now, 46 years later, Shaun's story-telling tour has delighted fans again. So, join us for the stories, fun-facts, and fascinating interviews as we take you down memory lane with our Teen Dream, Shaun Cassidy.

Shaun Cassidy has returned to the stage with his largest tour ever – aptly named "The Road to Us." His recent kickoff performance at the legendary Grand Ole Opry marked a triumphant re-emergence for the beloved pop icon, who captivated the Nashville audience with reimagined versions of his classic hits.
Musically, Shaun showed remarkable evolution, surprising fans by playing bass rather than his usual guitar. His three-song set featured refreshed arrangements, including a clever mash-up of his signature "Da-Doo-Ron-Ron" with The Police's "Da-Do-Do-Do, Da-Da-Da-Da." Most exciting for longtime fans, he's released two brand new original songs – "My First Crush" and "The Last Song" – his first recorded original material in decades.
The 50-city North American tour runs through 2026. Don't miss your chance to experience this new show – get tickets now and download Shaun's new songs on your favorite streaming platform to hear how his artistry has evolved while maintaining the charm that made us fall in love with him in the first place.

Shaun's New Tour
Speaker 1I took a little break from performing my last concert was in 1980 at the Houston Astrodome and I didn't really go out on the road again until 2020, so I took a little 40-year break but again writing and producing. So I was working, but I wasn't doing this and I really did miss this and I missed you, and that's the reason our tour, our new tour, biggest tour ever, is called the Road to Us.
Speaker 2Welcome to the Sean Squad Society podcast with your hosts myself, cindy, doris and Madonna, where we invite you to share in our enthusiasm and reminisce about all things Sean Cassidy.
Speaker 3From his teen idol days to his recent adventures back on the road again.
Speaker 4Please join us for the stories and memories that connected us to those happy days that helped create the Sean Squad Society podcast.
Speaker 3Well, Sean kicked off his roadtrip tour. He sure did. It is in full swing now.
Speaker 2Yeah, wasn't that exciting, that was so exciting, he's excited.
Speaker 3He was in Nashville at the Grand Ole Opry Yep and he did a great job.
Speaker 2Oh my gosh, it was so, so amazing. It was exciting. It was exciting Just like the tour is starting.
Speaker 3Yeah, just the fact that a 50-city North American tour is starting.
Speaker 4Yep, he's on cloud nine girls. Yeah, he's on cloud nine girls.
Speaker 3Yeah, he's on cloud nine.
Speaker 2I'm sure he was nervous but I think he did a great job, so nothing to be nervous about Nothing at all to be nervous about.
Speaker 3It's on its way. It's 50 cities Coming to our town soon, coming to a town near you soon.
Speaker 2And you.
Speaker 3And you, and you.
Speaker 2And you get, and you and you and you get a town and you get a town. Luckily. Illinois gets two shows. Yeah, so I think other places might have two shows also. But yes, illinois does have two shows.
Speaker 3But about the Opry, about that show, About that show. Well, I think Dame has a little bit she wants to say about the start of it.
Speaker 2Yeah, there was a new announcer, at least for him there was.
Speaker 3There were two announcers a lady and a man and Sean. The announcer was the gentleman.
Speaker 4A guest host. Yes, his name was Matthias Hansen, something like that, and he's the host of like the country Swedish national radio and he's helping to grow country around globally. But before presenting Sean, he wanted to introduce his own girlfriend. He said he wanted to borrow that circle you know that Grand Ole Opry is known for right there. And he and then I heard Sean in the background going OMG. But he said the words and he was stunned. So even Sean was surprised that this man, this introducer, was proposing to his own girlfriend before introducing him. And he then said the introducer said to his girlfriend Enva, I love you so much, will you marry me? And then there was some wedding music that was played in the background. That was unexpected.
Speaker 3That is a little bit blatant, though, to take another person's moment, and you know it's kind of like going to a wedding and announcing you're getting engaged.
Speaker 2Yeah, I think that's not right either Somebody else's wedding.
Speaker 4At least Sean's a romantic. So he understood and he said you know, I may not be country, but what I do sing about is, you know, a story, and country is a story and I'm a storyteller. And so he said okay, this works, but this is a story that Sean will never forget, when he was supposed to be introduced the second time around.
Speaker 3That is true. That made history right there.
Speaker 4I wish I could have seen his faces.
Speaker 2This is Sean's second time at the Opry. He was there a few years ago.
Speaker 3Two years ago he was there.
Speaker 2December of 23. Yes.
Speaker 3During his Magic of a Midnight Sky tour. Yes, during his Magic of a Midnight Sky tour.
Speaker 4Yes, well, the other guy was there to represent international country radio from around the world.
Speaker 2Yes, he was from Sweden.
Speaker 4Yeah, yes, southern, from southern Sweden. And then that's when he was talking about that. Sean was just now kicking off his tour since 40 years. I'm like no, that can't be true, because I went to 10 of his shows and I know my credit card proves that I.
Speaker 3Yeah, the guy made a little bit of a faux pas. He said his first tour in 40 years. Maybe he meant to say his first big tour in 40 years.
Speaker 4Well, sean fixed that later on. Later on Sean fixed it, but you know that guy's mind was on something else Later on later on.
Speaker 3Sean fixed it, but you know that guy's mind was on something else. He was reading from the notes he had. That's true, and that's true. That's what he knew, so I gave him a little break. And the fact that they are making country music international, that's pretty big. And the fact, you guys, that they let a pop sensation on the stage yes, and he had a story about that yes, that's you guys that they let a pop sensation on the stage twice, yes, and he had a story about that.
Speaker 2That's humongous, Huge. He does talk about that. He does say that you know, I listened to the radio station and they did play pop up until, I think, 1980, they said so they did play Sean's music before. So he was on their station before and when they asked him to come to the apri, he's like, well, you know, I'm more pop. And they're like, yeah, but you're a storyteller.
Speaker 4Yes. He said hey, that fits. Yeah, that fits. Ironically, he sings the song about rock and roll.
Speaker 2Yeah, but it's a storytelling thing. So.
Speaker 4I know, I thought that was cute, though I think I think he was also trying to convert some people over to rock. Now, I'm just kidding, just kidding, no.
Speaker 3Dame, seriously, if you watch any country music special today, they do bring a lot of rock and roll into the songs now and the songs have a lot of more not as country twangy as it used to be. It's getting more crossover to it.
Speaker 4That's true.
Speaker 3But they still have that bottom line they are stories. Country songs always have been stories, and Sean's songs are stories, so that's the connection.
Speaker 4Yeah, that's what Sean said, so that was pretty neat.
Speaker 3And it was great. And you know his big hit hey Dini. That song tells a great story and it's a love story.
Surprising Proposal at the Grand Ole Opry
Speaker 2And that's what he said after the proposal. He's like this song fits right in. This works.
Speaker 4Yeah, this works and that's why and I think that actually made him feel a lot more comfortable because, instead of going on there nervous, he was excited. He felt like, yep, that's his place, and we all know that Sean's a romantic, and so he just felt like he was meant to do that.
Speaker 2Yeah, he went along with it and sang his song.
Speaker 3So, with Haydini being a great story, I think he changed a little bit of the beginning lyric and I thought I wanted to talk to that about it.
Speaker 2Yeah, let's play a little bit of it and we can hear what he changed. Okay.
Speaker 6I was a fool for your love. From the moment I saw you Like a vision in the darkness of a thousand lost and lonely nights. But my heart threw away the key. I was blind as a man could be. Oh darling, can't you help me see the light here and now? After so many long years of waiting, I'm reborn alive, in a dream come true. And this old heart hasn't changed. You'll always be the spark that lit the flame. Oh, darling, you know I'm still in love with you Okay.
Speaker 3So there's a verse After so many long years of waiting. How many of us can relate to that? Like? There's so many people years of waiting. How many of us can relate to that Like? There's so many people that have been waiting years. Yeah, he wrote this for us To see Sean in concert life.
Speaker 2Yeah, toward his fans.
Speaker 3He said that and the whole. I think that whole new verse is like meant to say I'm here, I'm back and this is my love letter to you.
Speaker 4Yes, and he said that's what's good about all of these shows. He said we're all getting back together in one room and he said that's what I love about what I'm doing.
Speaker 2I look out and I see all of you and that's what this is all about getting us back together the connection he loves, the connection with the fans, and put those phones down and have a good time.
Speaker 4Yeah, well, you know. Yeah, that's what I said. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3And he kind of rearranged Taye Denny a little bit, you know yeah but then he did start into the whole song.
Speaker 2Right, he did the whole song, as usual.
Speaker 3But I'm just saying the tempo. He rearranged it a little bit and it's a different key and a different tempo, but he's not 21 anymore either.
Speaker 2Right, right, right, but also, too, there was a difference. Did you notice the difference? Which difference With the song? Well other than what I just said. Well, he started playing the bass now. Oh, that's right.
Speaker 4He's playing the bass. Yes, he was showing off his new guitars and stuff too, during the song.
Speaker 3He was not playing the guitar, nope.
Speaker 2He played the bass. Cole was playing the guitar.
Speaker 4Yeah. And he said hey, Coley, yeah, hey, coley Hit it, yeah. Yeah, that was cute. You could tell he was in a good mood, or he wouldn't have said coley yeah, maybe that's his nickname yeah get it, we're having fun here.
Speaker 3Yeah, so during hey dini. Yeah, he opened it with the opening uh, riff the bass. That was Sean playing bass. For all of you out there that didn't know, he's now playing the bass on this tour.
Speaker 2Yeah, and I think he's still learning because I saw him looking at it a lot. You know like make sure he's hitting the right key.
Speaker 3Yes, it did look like—we were lucky enough to see some video from it and you could tell that it's all new to him. Playing the bass is still new to him, but he did so good. I think he likes it. Yeah. Yeah, he did really well. He's going to, as this tour progresses, he's going to get more natural with it, sure.
Speaker 4He's having fun.
Speaker 2Right? No, I think he'll get better as he goes along. It'll just be continuous. He'll be continually playing it for all the shows.
Speaker 4And having fun yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah, It'll be great. I can't wait to hear the next one. I think the next show. Well, we'll talk about that later, but you want to talk about the next song?
Speaker 3So, yeah, it was a three-song set. Yeah, you got to let everyone know that it's like 15 minutes, 15 minutes. He opened it with hey Deeny. Yeah, and what was next?
Speaker 2I think it's. That's Rock and Roll. Let me play a little bit of it. Here it goes.
Hey Deanie
Speaker 6Well, I was 16 and sick of school. I didn't know what I wanted to do. I bought a guitar. I got the fever. That's rock and roll. I played at parties, played in bars, spent money buying new guitars, screamed my heart out. But I loved it. That's rock and roll.
Speaker 2Okay, hey, he did scream his heart out.
Speaker 4He did scream his heart out.
Speaker 3So yeah, the second song was that's Rock and Roll. You know it was the same song a little bit of a different arrangement.
Speaker 2I like it with the band. Though you can hear the drums, you know it keeps to the beat like in the song.
Speaker 3Yes.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 4I have to tell you something about. That's Rock and Roll. Last night I told my mom you got to get on there, you have to get on there, you need to hear him live. And my mom said, yep, I just heard, that's Rock and Roll.
Speaker 3Oh, she was listening. That's nice. I thought it was cute. That's great. I'm sure a lot of moms were listening. Yeah, Even at 80. So yeah, he, you know that's rock and roll is a great song. He, I'm glad he did it and he didn't do a whole lot different with it, right?
Speaker 2I think when you go to a place like this, you have to play your popular songs, because we know he wrote new songs. Well, yeah.
Speaker 3Well, when you go on any tour. So that's rock and roll was you know he did it, he performed it very well and the last song was his signature number one hit. Thank you.
Speaker 1Thank you very much. It's not quite country music, and I told them that. I said you know I'm honored, beyond honored, to have been invited back for the second time to this beautiful place, the Grand Ole Opry. But I did say you know more pop music, rock and roll music, and they said that's okay, you're a storyteller. That has been my main job for much of the last four decades writing and producing television, and country music is storytelling. So that's your pass key and I thank you, thank you all. What, uh, the newly engaged gentleman said is true.
Speaker 1I took a little break from performing. My last concert was in 1980 at the Houston Astrodome and I didn't really go out on the road again until 2020. So I took a little 40-year break, but again writing and producing. So I was working but I wasn't doing this and I really did miss this and I missed you, and that's the reason our tour, our new tour, biggest tour ever, is called the Road to Us, because this is so important all of us getting together and being in a room together and sharing this experience. So thank you for being here with me. This is the song that kicked it all off. The lyrics aren't very difficult. You can probably figure them out. Feel free to sing along if you like. I love you all. I love you all.
Speaker 6Who needs words anyway?
Speaker 2One, two, three, four, Okay, okay, that was the third.
Speaker 4I love when he says who needs words anyway? And here he's a writer.
Speaker 3Exactly. There's some irony in that Irony. I liked the very, very beginning, that little new intro to the song. You know it usually starts, but he rearranged it a little, played that, said who needs words anyway, and went right into the real intro of the song. Yep, I think you know the do-run-run. It's classic, it's Sean. You can't not like the do-run-run.
Speaker 2Everybody knows that one.
Speaker 4He made it more fun this time when he said it's all I want to say to you.
Speaker 2Yeah, he threw a little twist in there, so he got to the chorus.
Speaker 3And the chorus, you know, everybody knows it just repeats the do-run, run, run, the do-run run. So, he decided to mix it up a little and he threw in a little bit of I think it's the police da-do-do-do, da-da-da-da, and he threw. You know it's catchy. Everybody knows da-do-do and da-da-da and all that are just goofy words.
Speaker 2You're right. You're right. It's the same kind of line he said let's just mash them up. I was not expecting that.
Speaker 3Nobody was, and I'm like, oh, that was clever.
Speaker 4That was a surprise.
Speaker 3Let me see if I can catch it in here.
Speaker 2Hang on a second.
Speaker 6It's a true story. When the eloquence escapes me, the logic ties me up and breaks me. Do-do-do-do-da-da-da, it's all I want to say to you. Do-do-do-do-da-da-da is all I want to say to you. Do-do-do-da-da-da, it's meaningless. If you know that's true. Do-do-do-do-da-da-da is all I want to say to you. Do-do-do-da-da-da, innocence will pull me through.
Speaker 4I like that part.
Speaker 3All right, so we went back to his normal song Sean, one day was sitting at home having some of my first crushed wine.
Speaker 5I believe maybe.
That's Rock and Roll Performance
Speaker 3I'm just saying Right. I believe maybe I'm just saying Right. And he said you know this goofy da-do-do-da-da-da. I'm not the only one that sang those silly words in the song.
Speaker 2And he said let's just incorporate it. He's thinking how, yeah, how ironic that he's got a song with some words in it that don't really mean anything, and so does theirs.
Speaker 3The police. Now you got to wonder when the police wrote the do-do-do-da-da-da, were they thinking of Phil Spector's the do-ra-ra?
Speaker 2Oh well, that's interesting, Because the do-do-do-da-da-da came out in the 80s.
Speaker 3Yes, and the do-ra-ra was the 60s and they probably said we need some silly words. Oh, there was that, the do-do run-run song.
Speaker 2Let's use that. Yes, and you know, when we went into history, when the do-run-run was written, they didn't have any words for that part, so he just put in those da-do run-run.
Speaker 3Right. He said I don't know any silly Doesn't mean anything, it was just silliness.
Speaker 2Yes, know anything? It doesn't mean anything. It was just silliness.
Speaker 4Yes, they just put it in as empty words. Yeah, it was silly, but yet, like Sean says, sometimes you don't even need the words, you just need to hear the beat, the tune, just the tone, and that's exactly what we heard last night was. I am so happy to be starting this tour with you guys.
Speaker 3Right, yes, so yeah. So it's kind of cool that two artists from two different decades figured out let's just use these silly words and they are very big songs and I'm glad he incorporated it. It was a good mashup. I'm like I hope he does that on tour. Yes, remember, we did a mashup. I'm like I hope he does that on tour.
Speaker 2Yes, Remember we did a mashup of concerts before.
Speaker 3I hope he brings that mashup into his tour into the shows that he's going to now start. And speaking of starting, when is the very next show?
Speaker 2The very next show is in Waterville, maine, on September 17th. Okay, so Waterville, maine, prepare. So he's got like four days in between the Opry and the very first official full show. Opry was only three songs.
Speaker 3Right.
Speaker 2Maine's going to be the first full show, the first full show, so he's going to do about eight or nine shows a month.
Speaker 3Yes.
Speaker 2Like he said, it'd take a couple weeks off. Are they filling up?
Speaker 4pretty fast. Are they filling up pretty fast girls?
Speaker 2I bet they are. I don't know, I'm not sure I didn't look at them.
Speaker 3And he's going to kick it off and do about.
Speaker 2There's eight shows in September. Okay.
Speaker 3So he's gonna keep it to like eight a month.
Speaker 2Yeah, nine in November.
Speaker 4Oh that's it.
Speaker 2So yeah, seven to nine I'm just kidding, that's a lot. Well, like he said, he's gonna do like two weeks of shows and then he's gonna go home for two weeks. So he's trying to balance out home and work Like the rest of us do. Work-life balance, right, work-life balance, do two weeks of shows, two weeks of home life and hopefully it balances out for him. I'm sure it will. He'll get a break, he'll get more energized, come back to us and do more shows and then in December there are six shows in December.
Speaker 3Okay, December's the holiday month.
Speaker 2Yeah, so he stops mid-month until January 4th when he's in Arizona.
Speaker 3Oh, great See, he's no dummy.
Speaker 4Wouldn't you go to?
Speaker 3Arizona in January. In January yes.
Speaker 2I wouldn't go to Maine.
Speaker 3No, in January.
Speaker 2So Southern states in January Arizona, texas, louisiana, california, so you know, get to the warmer climate.
Da-Doo-Ron-Ron with a Modern Twist
Speaker 3I told that director, that tour director, you get me in the southern warm climate in January please.
Speaker 2Yes, so East Coast starts off, then in November starts Midwest, then, towards the winter, are the southern states. Well, I think you planned that out pretty good.
Speaker 3I would say so yeah, so yeah. It was a great kickoff.
Speaker 4Great kickoff. And, speaking of kickoff, this was great timing, because this was the kickoff to his two brand new songs. In how many years?
Speaker 3That's right was the kickoff to his two brand new songs. In how many years that's right he hasn't had a brand new recorded song, recorded song that he wrote Right, and years, decades, nevermind years, decades, and it's now available.
Speaker 2We're the reason he said yeah, everybody should download these. Yeah, people suggested that he record the songs, and he did. Yeah, everybody should download these. Yeah, people suggested that he record the songs, and he did.
Speaker 3And now they are available on Spotify, on all of the streaming iTunes, apple Music, itunes, amazon Music.
Speaker 2Yeah, there was another one too.
Speaker 3But it's all of them.
Speaker 2Yeah, we don't have to try to know them, and he'll be singing these at the shows, and one is called my First Crush.
Speaker 3My First Crush.
Speaker 2And the other one is called. It's called the Last Song. Yeah, hang on a second. I can play a little bit for you right now. Hold on.
Speaker 3Yeah, let's play a little bit of the two new songs.
Speaker 6Some, let's play a little bit of the two new songs. Some of us may have heard this before at the concerts. If this is the last song I write, I'll leave you with these words tonight Before we face the mystery, let's kiss the clouds. Make history, tell our story loud and clear. Leave our mark on every year. Raise our voice, take our stand, plant our flag in the promised land.
Speaker 2That's the one song.
Speaker 3I really like that song, yeah, yeah. And then the other one is my First Crush. We'll play a.
Speaker 2I really like that song, yeah, yeah. And then the other one is my First Crush. We'll play a little bit of that one.
Speaker 6My first crush is a funny thing, a sweet, familiar reckoning Of what was once and suddenly is now A feeling that's forever that I can't disavow. A teenage dream, so it would seem. My first crush is a fairy tale. A once upon a time it's still a veil. Whenever I reflect and heed the call, I conjure up a memory of a face upon my wall and reminisce true love's first kiss.
Speaker 2All right, how'd you like that one?
Speaker 3So how many of you out there are envisioning like a small room with a piano and the guy sitting there with a martini on the piano playing this song? Yes, that's this song. That's this song. That's what this song was written like, like in a martini bar.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's this song.
Speaker 3That's this song, that's what this song was written like, like in a martini bar. Yeah, to me it's like a Jack Cassidy singing it at the piano song, exactly.
Speaker 4He actually sang it to us without the background music when we went to have a Valentine's banquet with him.
Speaker 2Yeah, but I love how he arranged this in the studio with the background music. I love how they collaborated with that.
Speaker 3It's such a great arrangement. It shows he evolved. He's not singing da-do-ron-ron-ron, da-do-ron-ron anymore and he's singing songs that are so mature and you can almost imagine yourself at this place listening to it.
Speaker 2Yes, you can, and there's more songs too that he wrote, not just these two, correct, there's like 20 songs he wrote, and I think when he goes on tour.
Speaker 3He's going to introduce a new one at every show, or?
Speaker 2maybe every. Well, I hope more than that, because he did the Midnight Sky Tour. He sang his popular hits Well, you have to, you have to. But he's rearranging things now and putting more new songs, new twists.
Speaker 3Well, any artist today you go see REO Speedwagon. They're going to play Riot in the Storm out in 157, but they're going to put in there new songs, new songs. But they know what the money is, they know what the ticket was bought for. Yeah, sean knows what we bought the ticket for.
Speaker 2Yes, but now there's new stories. He's a storyteller, he's putting new stories in there, so I can't wait to hear what the stories are.
Speaker 3It is just going to be mind-blowing. If you haven't gotten a ticket, go Go online and get your ticket.
Speaker 4There are still tickets available, but I just want to congratulate him at the Grand Ole Opry. It was neat to hear.
Speaker 2And for those of you who want to hear the full 14-15 minute set, stay tuned for that.
The Road to Us Tour Details
Speaker 5What an honor it is to be on this legendary stage as a guest announcer representing the international country radio community. When I was a kid in a small rural town in southern Sweden, country music was always playing on the radio. Also, many of the best songs from the 50s and 60s were played in new, upgraded versions. It was clear proof that great songs live forever. We just need the best talents to handle them with care and develop the classic songs while making them their own. One of the by far best at doing that back then is now performing again. He's kicking off his first tour in 40 years his biggest ever right here today at the Opry. He's an acclaimed writer, producer and creator of several hit TV series, including American Gothic, cold Case, cover Me and New Amsterdam. He has released three multi-platinum albums with several top ten hits. What a great honor for me to introduce to you back on stage at last the legendary and one of a kind, sean Cassidy.
Speaker 1Thank you and congratulations. I'm honored and humbled to be standing here for many reasons now, but, my goodness, I love you too. I'm grateful to be here. This is a love story, so it's fitting.
Speaker 6I was a fool for your love from the moment. I saw you Like a vision in the darkness of a thousand lost and lonely nights. But my heart threw away the key. I was blind, as a man could be. Oh, darling, can't you help me see the light here and now, after so many long years of waiting, I'm reborn alive in a dream come true. And this old heart hasn't changed. You'll always be the spark that lit the flame. Oh, darling, you know I'm still in love with you. One, two, three, four. I was a fool for your love from the moment. I saw you Like a vision in the darkness of a thousand lost and lonely nights. Like a vision in the darkness a thousand lost and lonely nights. For the heart to weigh the key I will find as a man to be. Oh, darling, can't you help me see the light? Hey, tv, won't you come out tonight? The stars are dancing like diamonds in the moonlight. We could never find a better time to be in love. Hey, jenny, won't you come out tonight? The sun was waiting. The moon was shining so bright. Hey, jenny, you're other one I'm dreaming of. I'm stabby cute. I believe in the forces of darkness, unincurable believer in the magic of the midnight sky and look at about a day. Well, I can't let it slip away. Oh, darling, can't you read between the lines? Yeah, hey, tina, won't you come out tonight? The stars are dancing like diamonds in the moonlight. We could never find a better time to be alone. Hey, jeannie, won't you come out tonight? The summer's waiting. The moon is shining so bright. Hey, jeannie, you're the one I'm dreaming of. Jeannie, love is all there is. Don't wanna lose it. I don't wanna let the feeling end. No, no, no, no, no, no. Hey, jeannie, won't you come out tonight? The stars are dancing like diamonds in the moonlight. We could never find a better time to be in love. Love, love, love, love, love, love. Hey, tina, won't you come out tonight? The sun was waiting. The moon is shining so bright. Hey, tina, you're the one I'm dreaming of.

Speaker 6Well, I was 16 and sick of school. I didn't know what I wanted to do. I bought a guitar. I got the fever. Let's rock and roll. I played at parties, played in bars, spent money buying new guitars, spit my heart out, but I loved it. That's rock and roll.
Speaker 6Well, come on, everybody, get down and get with it. Come on, everybody, get down and get with it. Come on, everybody, get down. That's rock and roll. It's when the smoking and the heat has got your heart pounding. Right with the beat. Don't try to fight it, just get excited. It's rock and roll. And don't you worry about being a star, it doesn't matter who or what you are, just get the rhythm and let it fill you. That's rock and roll. Well, come on, everybody, get down and get with it. Come on, everybody, get down and get with it. Come on, everybody, get down and dash rock and roll. Well, come on, everybody, get down and get with it. Come on, everybody, get down and get with it. Come on, everybody, get down and get with it. Come on, everybody, get down, let's rock and roll. And if you feel it, clap your hands. Let's see some sweat for the boys in the band.

Oh yeah, well, come on everybody. Well, come on everybody. Well, come on, everybody, get down, get down and rock and roll.
Speaker 1Thank you, thank you very much. It's not quite country music. And I told them that. I said you know I'm honored, beyond honored, to have been invited back for the second time to this beautiful place, the Grand Ole Opry. But I did say you know more pop music, rock and roll music, and they said that's okay, you're a storyteller. That has been my main job for much of the last four decades writing and producing television, and country music is storytelling. So that's your pass key and I thank you, thank you all. What, uh, the newly engaged gentleman said is true.
Speaker 1I took a little break from performing. My last concert was in 1980 at the Houston Astrodome and I didn't really go out on the road again until 2020. So I took a little 40-year break, but again writing and producing. So I was working but I wasn't doing this and I really did miss this and I missed you. And that's the reason our tour, our new tour, biggest tour ever, is called the Road to Us, because this is so important all of us getting together and being in a room together and sharing this experience. So thank you for being here with me. And this is a song that kicked it all off. The lyrics aren't very difficult. You can probably figure them out. Feel free to sing along if you like. I love you all. Who needs words anyway?

Did you run run? Yeah, my heart stood still. Yeah, her name was Jill. And when I walked her home, did you run, run, run? Did you run run? Well, I knew what she was thinking when she caught my eye.

Speaker 6Anyway, I'm a writer. I can still say that, really, all we need is each other. Hey, boys, let's prove it to them. When the eloquence escapes me, the logic ties me up and breaks me. Do-do-do-do-da-da-da Is all I want to say to you. Do-do-do-da-da-da, it's meaningless and all that's true. Do, do, do, da, da da. It's all I want to say to you. Do, do, do, da, da da. Innocence will pull me through when I'm mad. At a Monday, my heart stood still. To do run, run, run, to do run run. Somebody told me that her name was Jeff. To do run, run, run, to do run run.
