He's got the feeling in his toe-toe.
Speaker 2:He's 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 88. As always, I'm thrilled to be here with you. Let's learn something new or remember something old, jimmy. Back on episode 73, 15 episodes ago already, I spoke about listening to 95.5 FM WPLJ in New York in the spring of 1980. And the impact that it had on me in my musical learning journey. I guess that's what I would call it Okay.
Speaker 2:My musical learning journey, because I don't have a musical journey, I'm not a musician.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Musical learning journey. How about that? There you go. So the other night, while I was online, I was looking for something and I came across an hour of PLJ recorded on July 18th 1980. Oh fun, with Carol Miller as the DJ so great DJ. She's on SiriusXM still. And it was cool because while I made a lot of cassettes I never included the commercials and I got to actually hear the commercial. It was a real hour of what was happening.
Speaker 1:That's great. You know, was there a little like nobody beats the whiz in there? Was there a?
Speaker 2:Stay tuned. There was not, but that's good that you know that, Because that was a commercial that I would hear many times back in the day. So it starts off with a live version of you Really Got Me by the Kinks on the One for the Road album, yeah, and followed up by Accidents Never Happened by Blondie Walk this Way, Aerosmith and it's funny because this is pre-Run DMC Aerosmith, you know and it's just this true rock song at this time. The Legend of Woolly Swamp, Charlie Daniels Band, which was an album I can't remember what his album was, but he had an album out the summer of 1980. That was one of the songs that they played. Didn't go very far, but it was being played. And then a commercial for the movie Honeysuckle Rose, and Carol says starts today in select theaters. So this hour that I'm listening to is the same day Honeysuckle Rose comes out, which is a film starring Willie Nelson, Diane Cannon and Amy Irvin.
Speaker 2:And other people. I don't remember everyone else, so Diane Cannon. She was married to Cary Grant at one time in the 60s, he was 33 years older than her and Amy Irvin was married to Steven Spielberg at one point. Okay, just to give you an idea of who they may be.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:So I mostly remember the movie for the song On the Road Again.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Not that I would normally listen to that kind of music, and I don't mean anything. That just wasn't what I was listening to 45 years ago. I wasn't listening to any sort of country really at all, maybe a little Johnny Cash I would hear once in a while through you know, my father or something. But this song On the Road, again, it was infectious. It was like man, it's like just had this, like you know, like you, just like, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:It's like a road song it's chugging along.
Speaker 2:I still love it. I still love this song from the first time that I heard it 45 years ago. And if you told me that 45 years ago, that you would be telling people 45 years in the future, I'd be like you're crazy. There's no way On the road again. Just can't wait to get on the road again. The life I love is making music with my friends and I can't wait to get on the road again. I'd be proud to go on the road with you, Jimmy.
Speaker 1:Let's do it. Let's take this thing on the road.
Speaker 2:I like it. Maybe we should. I like that. So out of the commercial, back to music. Good Love and Gone Bad by Bad Company, betty Lou's Getting Out Tonight by Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band. Betty Lou's Getting Out Tonight by Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band.
Speaker 2:And I've definitely taken some abuse from some people that I'm not a huge Bob Seger fan. I didn't say that I disliked him. I just one time said I'm not a huge Bob Seger fan and I've heard a lot from people regarding that. I like this song. It wasn't a single but it was one of those songs they played on the radio a ton and I really liked it and so I kind of looked. I tend to like his songs that weren't singles a lot more than I like the singles that were released. It just happens to be that way. So for anyone who thought that I didn't like Bob Seger, there you go. Betty Lou's getting out tonight. Restless Heart by Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. They were one of the bands that would play at the Stone Pony. So you know you talk about Bruce Springsteen, southside Johnny. You know all of these bands that made the Stone Pony Southside.
Speaker 2:Johnny was one of them Ain't Too Proud to Beg the Rolling Stones Coming up the live version by Paul McCartney and Wings. The good version, right the good version and then a commercial for the Devo album and tape Freedom of Choice.
Speaker 1:Oh cool.
Speaker 2:I was in shock, to be honest, because that necessarily wasn't what they were playing. You know they were playing just rock. It wasn't called classic rock then, it was just called rock music. And to hear this commercial where you know it's one I don't know if it's Mark Mothersbrough or who it is, but it's somebody from Devo talking about you got to get the album and the tape and it's just crazy Whip. It would enter the Billboard chart on August 30th and peak at number 14 on November 15th 1980. Another one of those songs that was all over radio Album includes Girl. You Want Gates of Steel and my favorite Devo song I've talked about this before Freedom of Choice.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's my favorite Devo album.
Speaker 2:Is it?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I love that record.
Speaker 2:It's so good I mean it's a really good album to listen to. And it's kind of funny because the record company threatened them, saying you need to have some hits, you need to do something. And you know they did. They came across.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they still kept it in their style, though. Yes, very much so.
Speaker 2:No, not at all. And I heard the commercial on WPLJ Back to the music with Don't Do Me Like that by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Hold the Line by Toto Gonna Get Ya by Pete Townsend. I think it's the second best song on the album. Empty Glass was the album that was out after Let my Love Open the Door and again wasn't released as a single, but it received radio airplay. It's a really good song. I love it, you know.
Speaker 1:I need to look that one up. I don't know if I know it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, check it out, it really is good. 10th Avenue frees out Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band Mm-hmm. And finishing off the hour is another who member Free Me by Roger Daltrey, released prior to the August 1980 movie McVicar, and that starred Roger Daltrey also, as I think it was John McVicar was the guy's name. It's a true story about a guy that stops robbing places and then needs money and goes back into it and gets caught, and it's this whole thing. And Roger stars in it. He does the soundtrack, and another song from the movie is Bitter and Twisted, and that was on the radio a bunch as well. So there was these two songs that I would hear all the time, I think, listening to this WPLJ Hour. It just kind of reinforced what I thought the summer of 80 was at times when I would listen to rock radio because they played a ton of the songs that you know. I'm sure you haven't heard a bunch of these songs that I just mentioned, but to me they are part of the summer of 1980.
Speaker 2:Speaking of the summer of 1980, I mentioned the Kinks album One for the Road. Well, five days after that hour of WPLJ, Lola was released as a single, and that was July 23rd 1980. I've mentioned before it's in my top five favorite live albums of all time. Double album has a group of classic and newer songs and they just did the right mixture of everything and played them in an order where you could just listen to all four sides and just kept you, you know, engaged the whole entire time. Really, Really, really good. Where have all the good times gone? All day and all the night. Stop your sobbing Till the end of the day. Victoria, you really got me. I mean I'm going to continue, but just that list right. There is fantastic Celluloid heroes.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star and everybody's in movies. It doesn't matter who you are. Man talks about Greta Garbo, betty Davis, rudolph Valentino, bela Lugosi, and then the single that was released, lola so Lola. The studio version was released 10 years earlier, June of 1970, and August 70 hits Billboard peaks at number nine in October of 1970. And the song was originally recorded with the lyrics. I met her in a club down in Old Soho where you drink champagne and it tastes just like.
Speaker 1:Coca-Cola.
Speaker 2:Right, but that wouldn't work because the BBC wouldn't play a song. If you're putting a brand out, there.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's why they changed it to Cherry Cola.
Speaker 2:That's why because on June 3, 1970, the Kinks are on tour in America and Ray Davies, the singer, hops on a plane, goes to London and does the one song, one line cherry cola, one line, I mean tastes like cherry cola. They get it, hops back on a plane and the next night arrives just in time for the kink show in New York City 6,000 miles, because back then they didn't have the type of technology that we have today. I mean, if you think about the way that we do the podcast, I mean I'm here, you know, you're 10 feet away from me, you know, if I go out of town, I can do it from wherever I am. It's simple, not a lot involved.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean there were other ways they could have done that. I, I know, when I first started in the studio business, things were still kind of being done the old way, like there wasn't as much technology. So people were fedexing tapes and things everywhere and uh, you know, what they could have done is they could have had him go to a studio in New York and record, but I guess they would have had to have the track for him to record to and they didn't have it there.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, I guess popping him on a plane was the thing to do. They needed to make sure that they had it all good and ready to go, especially on this tour. Now, again, today, it's a piece of cake to do that. You know the way that technology is. You can just. You know it tastes just like cherry cola and England can have it. Just that quick, right. The newer songs included Catch Me Now I'm Falling Pressure Misfits. Low Budget. Wish I Could Fly Like Superman and I have to go back to Lola. The live version of this is just awesome and it just sounds like a rock song compared to the original studio when it kind of came out.
Speaker 2:The original studio to me is almost a little folky. This one is just rocking.
Speaker 1:It's just ready to go, yeah, well. Well, they'd become a rock band by that point they were arena rock by then.
Speaker 2:You know that's what they were. But I love them. I mean, I like their 60s, the early 60s stuff. I like their early 70s stuff. There's a part there that you know I'm so so about. But then when they come back with those albums in 77, 78, 79, oh, they're just fantastic, just love them.
Speaker 2:So I'm looking at old reviews. I decided let me go look at some old reviews of the album, and there was one by music critic Dave Marsh, for Rolling Stone magazine. Now Dave Marsh was known for being harsh on people, that he didn't like the band and he just would say things that were extremely harsh. This is what he had to say when he wrote an article about this album. This set is so hot I'm prepared to renounce my skepticism and admit that this is the great rock band its partisans have always claimed. That's a lot for Dave Marsh, because he doesn't normally do that. Once he dislikes you, from what I have seen and reading a bunch of his reviews over the years, it doesn't usually change a whole lot. Two days after the Lola single comes out, the movie Caddyshack is released on July 25th 1980. Now, while it's a film about golf and nothing to do with music. The beginning and the end of the movie crack me up. The film starts off with a gopher burrowing. That's one of those words that I struggle with.
Speaker 1:You did pretty well.
Speaker 2:I appreciate that it's way through a golf course, pops out of a hole in the ground and starts dancing the gopher dance.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You're not as thrilled with it as I am. I can see the look in your face.
Speaker 1:No, I think it was one of the parts of Caddyshack that I don't remember as fondly. I love that movie, but the gopher come on.
Speaker 2:And then at the end, jimmy Carl, the groundskeeper, who's played by Bill Murray and he's been dealing with the gopher and, you know, creating the gopher holes, you know, throughout the beautiful golf course all movie long. And unable to get rid of the gopher, carl blows up with plastic explosives all around the golf course and the gopher survives and comes out of the ground dancing to Kenny Loggins' I'm Alright, doing the gopher dance, yeah great song.
Speaker 1:Great theme song for the movie.
Speaker 2:I'm all right, nobody worried about me. Why you gotta give me a fight, can't you just let it be? Wow, the song peaked at number seven on billboard. I'm telling you I love watching the gopher dance, jimmy, I love that more than I love the whole movie. Okay, and everything else that goes on. I know at the end there there's a contest and the explosions make the ball fall in the hole.
Speaker 1:And then something happens.
Speaker 2:I don't even know what it is.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I know You're just there for the puppet.
Speaker 2:I am. I know the gopher is all right.
Speaker 1:I'll tell you. Another great song in that movie, though, is when Rodney has his tricked out, you know golf bag and he says let's dance. And he turns on a stereo and it's like super loud and they're playing uh journey. Any way you want it, that's a fun scene that is a good and that's rodney dangerfield what did I say? You said rodney, just for those that don't know.
Speaker 2:Rodney Dangerfield I really liked Rodney Dangerfield in general. I just found him funny. I just you know what was he. He was in that movie where he went like back to school and you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I like that one too.
Speaker 2:He was a comedian. He was on Johnny Carson.
Speaker 1:Was your favorite thing in back to school his son. That was in the movie.
Speaker 2:Was that because I couldn't stand his son and back to school? No, no, not at all. We agree on that, we agree on that part.
Speaker 1:Yes, rod, you remember what he had to do? The the special dive. Do you remember what that was called? No, the triple lindy yes, the triple lindy.
Speaker 2:You're right, that is it thornton mellon wow, you remember a lot and caddyshack.
Speaker 1:He was Al Chervik.
Speaker 2:You definitely. You know what? Not only am I all right, you're all right, the gopher's all right, we're all all right. Oh, now we sound like a cheap trick 35 years ago. I saw the B-52s at Lakewood Amphitheater on July 21st 1990. 35 years 1990. I know we talk about it probably too much, but yes, it's hard to believe.
Speaker 2:90s, 35 years ago, my second concert since I moved to Atlanta I've probably been living here five weeks somewhere around there and that was like, like I said in 1990, ziggy marley and the melody makers open up, playing some of ziggy's uh dad songs. You know, bob marley, um, get up, stand up. Could you be loved as well as ziggy and the melody makers? Big song tomorrow, people, I I actually hum that a lot. That's one of the songs, like if I'm just kind of doing stuff, or even if I'm at work and I'm working on my computer, all of a sudden I'll just start to hum it, maybe sing it a little bit. I'm not sure why, but I do. It's a good song it is. You know, two years earlier on Billboard it reached number 39 in July of 1988.
Speaker 2:So the B-52s were touring for the album Cosmic Thing and I had seen them at Radio City earlier in the year, before I had moved here, and I want to say the Violent Femmes opened up for them. I'm not 100% positive but I believe that they did and you know, of course they played the title song, Cosmic Thing. They played that song, Dry County, Deadbeat, Club, Rome, Love Shack. You know, if I remember correctly. I don't remember exactly everything that they played, but I remember some of the classics Give Me Back my man, Dance this Mess Around, Private Idaho, Strobelight, Planet, Claire Rock, Lobster, Whammy, Kiss and, I think, 52 Girls, which is one of my favorite B-52 songs, and it was just so cool seeing them in Atlanta.
Speaker 2:Now I know they're an Athens Georgia band but when I first moved here I didn't know the difference between Athens and Georgia and Savannah and anywhere else. Just to me it was Georgia. But it was cool seeing them here, kind of you know their home turf, Like I felt like man, this is like, this is something big to talk about and I didn't really have anything to talk about it until 35 years later 35 years later.
Speaker 2:On this episode.
Speaker 1:Well, that same year did Cosmic Thing come out in 90?.
Speaker 2:It came out in 89, I believe.
Speaker 1:Shortly after that came out they played. It might have been the opening of their tour. They played at Legion Field in Athens, georgia. A free show for you know, mainly the students were there but this big field and it was a really fun show to see and I was really proud of them because I had stuck with the B-52s through the lean times. You know B-52s had their big albums in the late 70s, early 80s and then they had a few that people were thinking OK, maybe the B-52 should hang it up. And then they come out with Cosmic Thing and it's like, oh yes, they're back.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean in their defense. It's really tough to be able to do that party, just kind of different sound of music, for a long time.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And be successful with your popularity you know, and I think that you're right. I mean, this album came out and you're like man, I've missed the B-52s. Because, you're right, they did have some lean years.
Speaker 1:Well, and also they lost Ricky Wilson, their guitar player, and then Keith Strickland was the drummer and he moved over to guitar and they just got like a sitting-in kind of session player guy to play the drums. So the B-52s are really just four people now and they used to be five and they had to kind of reinvent themselves to work without Ricky.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I think he only played some songs with, you know, not the full six strings, I think that you know. I heard that sometimes he played some of the songs with less than six strings because that's the way he could get the sound that he wanted to get.
Speaker 1:He got such incredible sounds and some of the things that he plays as a guitar player. I'm wondering did he play that all at once or did he have to play the one part on the low strings and the part on the high strings separately, because he was very precise and you know just all these like if you listen to something like private idaho you know, it's, it's just got all these very precise notes in it and, uh, he was. He was incredible yeah, great band.
Speaker 2:All of them are great in what you know they brought to the band to make them what they are. You know they needed every single one of those pieces and they all fit perfectly. And it all started, you know, not here but very close to here, in Athens, ga. Recently I went to see Kevin Kinney of Driving and Crying and Peter Buck of REM do a show together in Athens actually and we're waiting for the show to begin and a mutual friend of ours, robert, he's sitting next to me and he says something I don't remember exactly, but something like what's Bill Barry up to these days? Because we're seeing Peter Buck.
Speaker 2:You know I've talked about seeing Mike Mills with Gang of Four and you know he's doing some other projects. And you know I've talked about seeing Mike Mills with Gang of Four and you know he's doing some other projects. And you know he just was wondering what is Bill Barry up to? And you know I didn't really say much. You know, I'm not sure whatever, bill Barry being the REM drummer, I guess I need to say that the REM drummer, and like five minutes later, don't? You know Bill Barry, sits behind us, two people down from where Robert is. And I said to him immediately don't turn around. And he goes. I said don't turn around, but Bill Barry is sitting there. He goes. No, he's not. I said he is. This is literally like five minutes after he asked me about that.
Speaker 1:He conjured up Bill Barry.
Speaker 2:And I remember because I looked first and then I was staring and then he just kind of looked at me and I'm like that's Bill Barry. You know, that's him Right. And it was just so funny sometimes how things work out. You mentioned something and then boom, like you said there, he is there, he is.
Speaker 2:And then, you know, we turned around and then maybe five minutes later we turned he was gone. He didn't play with them, nothing. I guess he just came to watch the show and see what it was about, and it was interesting.
Speaker 1:Made an appearance.
Speaker 2:Made an appearance. Let's revisit some more good music, because that's what we do here. On Music in my Shoes Crosby, stills, nash, young, teacher Children. It peaked at number 16 on Billboard Hot 100, july 25th 1970. I remember this song from early elementary school years Not 1970, but not long after Like this is one of those songs, like one of the first songs I can remember hearing.
Speaker 2:So it just holds a little place in my heart. While it's a Crosby, stills and Nash and Young album, neil Young's not on it. It was recorded before he got with them on this particular album but that's Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead on pedal steel guitar right from the get-go. Oh, so to return the favor, the band worked with members of the Grateful Dead teaching them how to sing harmonies for the Working Man's Dead album, which we talked about a bunch of episodes ago, and American Beauty, which we'll talk about in November. And if you listen to those two albums, they're the only albums that really have serious harmonies where you could say, yeah, that does remind me a little bit of crossbeast stills, nash and young. So I always thought that that was pretty cool and I remember, like the first day that I found out that that was jerry garcia and I was like I have loved this song. It's one of the first songs that I've ever known in my life, but I didn't know that it was Jerry Garcia until I was 30-something years old.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't think I knew until right now.
Speaker 2:There you go. You were this many days old and that's zero.
Speaker 1:They must have had to really corral him in because it's not all noodley going on for 45 minutes like he is live. You know it's concise little guitar parts. I mean, I can think of the guitar part in my head right now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think it was because he needed them to teach them how to sing harmonies.
Speaker 1:He's like I'll do whatever you want me to do.
Speaker 2:I don't need any money. You don't even have to say I did it, just help us. Tick, tick, tick. It's Minute with Jimmy. It's time for a minute with jimmy. Minute with jimmy. Minute with jimmy. It's time for a minute with jimmy minute with jimmy when it was jimmy.
Speaker 1:So I went to a movie the other night called this is spinal tap, you know, from 1984. For some reason they did a 41st anniversary tour of it instead of a 40th, uh, but they put it into theaters a couple weeks ago for about a week and various, you know, select theaters around the country, and so I asked my son and my wife if they wanted to go see it and turned out they've never seen it. I'm very, you know, a deficient dad and husband for never having played spinal tap for them. My daughter did watch it with me once, but they said they'd never seen it. So we go to the theater and I'm wondering okay, how's this going to hold up? I probably literally saw the movie 50 to 100 times when I was in high school. We would just watch that over at people's houses all the time.
Speaker 1:We knew every line from it so it's hard for me to be objective, but really they really liked it. Like it got a bunch of laughs from them and from other people in the theater that may or may not have known it, and yeah, I really liked it too. It holds up.
Speaker 2:It's funny that they do things like that. So, Jimmy, did you see it originally in a movie theater or only at someone's house?
Speaker 1:I think this was the first time I ever saw it in a theater. Yeah, Really. Yeah, because the first time I saw it was over at my older brother's house and he had rented it on a VHS, you know, back then, so it must've been out of theaters by then.
Speaker 2:Well, speaking of out of theaters, and you're out of time with Minute, with Jimmy, why don't we go just a little bit longer? Just give a quick little premise, a little plot of what goes on in the movie.
Speaker 1:So this Is Spinal Tap is really kind of the first mockumentary that I know of where they made a fake documentary about a fake band that is a hard rock band from England and it's supposed to be about following their big comeback, their their next tour, but really what it ends up documenting is their fall. They're already starting to lose popularity, and then there's infighting and there are all these comedic things that happen along the way and they, they kind of get down to to rock bottom and I don't want to give everything away, but yeah, yeah, a lot of, a lot of funny things, a lot of really great songs that they, they wrote. It's Christopher Guest and Michael McKeon and Harry Shearer are the three main guys in the band and so they're just comic geniuses and it spawned all those other mockumentaries that came from sort of the same nucleus of of people. Rob Reiner directed it, so all the movies like Best in Show and A Mighty Wind and lots of others came from that same crew.
Speaker 2:Very good. Hey, can you turn it up to 11 for me?
Speaker 1:Oh yeah. So that's one of the things that I thought most people the first time they see Spinal Tap. That's the one joke they come away with. Their amps go. Instead of just going to 10, they go to 11. And Rob Reiner says, well, why don't you just make 10 the loudest number and make that a little louder? And he says, well, these go to 11.
Speaker 2:It is still funny. I mean it really is the reaction of why? Because it goes to 11. I mean, rob Reiner makes all the sense in the world with the question, but the answer is great. Now, what I find is kind of cool about the movie is, as time has gone on you know, we're 41 years since the movie there's all of these heavy metal bands that say that this scene was, you know, inspired by us or this was about us, and it's so funny that everybody wants to be part of it in some way or another.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and one of the things that they say, especially Christopher Guest's character, nigel Tufnel, was pretty much directly based on Jeff Beck. So when Jeff Beck passed away, I think it was either last year, I think it was last year. Videos went around of interviews with Jeff Beck from the 70s that just looked exactly like the interviews in Spinal Tap.
Speaker 1:You know, he's chewing gum, he's smoking a cigarette, he's saying things that are a little bit goofy but very deep. He talks a lot about musical styles and jazz and classical and everything, and then a lot of times is just playing heavy rock.
Speaker 2:Right, well, that was cool, jimmy. That was a very good few minutes with Jimmy. It was worth it, definitely worth it. Now I'm turning it up to 11. Everybody turn it up to 11, because we're getting close to the end here. When it was Jimmy, summer Love by Friends of the Show APB was the WLIR Screamer of the Week, second week of July 1985. One of my favorite songs by APB Great bass, groove, great song, jimmy. It's hard to believe it's been 54 episodes since Ian and George joined us on Music in my Shoes, so right a little over a year ago yeah.
Speaker 2:That's how quickly time goes. It really really goes. That was fun. It was fun.
Speaker 1:Check that out, if you guys haven't. You know the listeners.
Speaker 2:Yes, please do. Apb is really good and you know, if you like 80s, you know danceable, funky bass and everything. Apb is the band for you. Listen, if you want to reach out to us not just about going up to 11, it could be going to volume five. If that's all you want to us, not just about going up to 11. It could be going to Volume 5. If that's all you want to do, you can reach us at musicinmyshoes at gmailcom. Please like and follow the Music in my Shoes Facebook and Instagram pages and share the podcast with your friends. That's it for Episode 88 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 Vic Thrill for our podcast music and those who are successful. Be always on your guard. Success walks hand in hand with failure along Hollywood Boulevard. This is Jim Boge, and I hope you learned something new or remembered something old. We'll meet again on our next episode. Until then, live life and keep the music playing. Thank you.
