about a very special project includes the
possibilities of a serious XM channel for Steve

35
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:08.240
Perry, so stay tuned for that. Man. It's been a roller coaster

36
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:13.680
since we started back to the eighties
radio back in May, and I'm floored

37
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:19.719
when I think about the overwhelming response
that people have had with the program and

38
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.800
with our social media as well.
We have grown so much, and I

39
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:27.960
just you know, I can't thank
you enough for being with me, but

40
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:32.080
I can't thank the fans enough.
Let's throw some shout outs now, Discoto

41
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:39.960
and I of a very special surprise. Many months ago, we asked everybody

42
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:45.879
if you can have a very special
tape produced, you know, with your

43
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.479
favorite songs, what would it be? And so we took some of those

44
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:53.360
songs and we've added them to this
special show. Now. Granted, I

45
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:57.919
do want to give you, guys
of an important announcement, and that is

46
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:03.479
that today's show is a special show. It's a special edition program because we're

47
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:08.960
going to be adding music that can
only be played through Spotifying. So if

48
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:15.240
you're listening through Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio, Itune, or any other streaming service

49
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:18.439
and you want to hear the music, then just make sure to follow the

50
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:24.560
link to our show through Spotify so
you can hear the music and just reminisce

51
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.600
on the tunes of the eighties.
So we're going to take some of the

52
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:32.399
songs that you've requested to be a
part of today's special show. This is

53
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:38.079
something that I've been looking very forward
to doing once again, you know,

54
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:42.480
to let a little secret be known
to our new listeners or some of our

55
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:46.519
old listeners. When we were doing
Tuscano and Chang, it was a comedy

56
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:53.680
show, try to enlighten people,
raw edgy comedy, but we played great

57
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:58.319
music, and I think that's one
thing that I do miss and I would

58
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.600
love to bring back to the airwave. A couple of guys that love music

59
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:10.879
can create just a musical ear gasm
on top of the stupidity and the shenanigans

60
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:15.319
we may pull along the way.
Our listeners are going to find this captivating

61
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:20.399
because we're going to hit you with
every genre of rock and roll to pop,

62
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:27.000
to rhythm and blues to soul.
That you want some Luther Vandros,

63
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:29.839
Hey, you're gonna get some Luther
Vandros. Do you want some Whitney Houston.

64
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.160
We're gonna slap you with Whitney Houston. We're gonna slap you with B

65
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:36.439
fifty two, Metallica, Guns N'
Roses, We're gonna slap you with the

66
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:41.759
Dexys, Midnight Runners. We're gonna
slap you within excess. Hit us on

67
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:45.879

68
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:49.240
it straight up, and we will
have you dancing in the bathrooms. Yeah.

69
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:53.879
I want to take a moment right
now because it's a very special Christmas

70
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:58.000
show, and I want to take
a very special moment to give some shout

71
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:01.040
outs, especially for those that are
listening in Southern California, throughout California,

72
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:05.839
Washington, Ohio, Texas, Florida, New Jersey, Michigan, New York,

73
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:11.560
everywhere in the United States. But
even if you're listening to us from

74
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:15.120
abroad, I want to mention some
countries that really deserve a very special shout

75
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:20.120
out because their followers. The following
is gaining ground in these particular countries,

76
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:25.720
and one of them is in Germany. Germany's our second most listened to country.

77
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:30.800
People from Bavaria, North Rhine Westphalia, Hamburg, from Saxony, Lower

78
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:36.439
Saxony, from Baden Wurtenburg region and
Berlin were just very very thankful for those

79
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:40.800
people, were grateful that those people
take the time to listen to back to

80
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:45.480

many places. We're in Australia. I

83
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:02.639
want to mention one thing, people

84
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:06.000
so make it go Bacca California,

of that this is back to the eighties.

90
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:39.000
We never stopped when it hurts,
didn't hurt, it didn't hurt,

91
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:45.000
didn't hurt, non stop, unforgettable
memories from the eighties. Start back to

92
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:53.360
the eighties. You're listening to back
to the eighties to Skanawa. Chang here

93
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:58.000
with you on Christmas Day twenty twenty. Man, you know, Chang,

94
00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:03.360
I can't believe everything there has happened
in twenty twenty. And I know this

95
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:07.680
is an eighties show, but mine
goodness, gosh, dang it. And

96
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:13.360
the rest you can fill in those
those asterisks, the pound, the hashtags,

97
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:18.439
the pound signs, and the dollar
signs. Oh my gosh, twenty

98
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:24.600
twenty, Get me out of here. You know what twenty twenty replicates On

99
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:28.720
Christmas? When you get that bad, crappy gift from a family member that

100
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:33.440
you haven't seen or lives across the
cross the states, and they come over

101
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.039
and they bring you this gift,
the worst gift possible, the worst gift

102
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.480
that anyone could get, and you
have to open it that night because they're

103
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:46.360
leaving the next day. So you're
opening this piece of crap on Christmas Eve

104
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.639
and you open it up. In
your life, what is the worst gift

105
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:56.440
you have ever received at any Christmas
in the eighties, I'll never forget.

106
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:01.559
An aunt of mine got me a
member's only jacket and this was for Christmas.

107
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.679
Yes, and this was that that
kind of burdendy looking one. Oh

108
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.720
yes, my dad had a few
of those. Now get this now,

109
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:15.519
the the gift, it was like
an a vinyl paper. It was a

110
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.399
beautiful package, right, and the
you know you open up you have the

111
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:22.960
tissue paper was kind of a velvet
red. So I thought, who an

112
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:28.080
offensive shirt? And I could make
it look pretty cool because I'm a heavy

113
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.399
metal guy. And I opened it
up right, and I pull out his

114
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:37.039
jacket and I'm like, what a
member's only jacket? I'll over it right

115
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:39.240
at my mom and I looked like, hey, who is this? Bro?

116
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.480
Doesn't you know who I am?
And you know, I had to

117
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:48.240
pretend that I really liked it,
and I ended up selling it at a

118
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:54.440
yard sale bro for like two bucks. Oh my gosh. Yeah, I

119
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:58.600
can't. I could picture you with
members only jacket today. You know what,

120
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:05.080
if I wore a member's only jacket
today, I would look probably like

121
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:09.120
Hunter Thompson. But I'm not wearing
a wig. I have hair like,

122
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.360
you know, like Tommy Chong.
That's right, probably smell like and I

123
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:18.120
usually smell like Tommy Chong. Roll. Yet I can tell you I can

124
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:22.480
attest to that, Yes you do. Let me tell you the worst gift

125
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.120
I've ever gotten in the eighties.
Now, I was a teenager back in

126
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:30.840
the eighties. So I remember we
had this gift exchange, some family thing,

127
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:35.399
somebody I don't even remember who decided
to give a fifteen year old a

128
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:41.279
something from Princess House. Now,
Princess House was the maker of crystal crystal

129
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:46.120
stuff. And she gave me like
a little bowl, a very tiny like

130
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:52.559
salsa bowl. It was in a
box that was just completely completely filled with

131
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:56.679
dust on the top. The box
was yellow. Okay, you can tell

132
00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:00.639
that at one point that box was
white and it turned yellow because it must

133
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:05.440
have been under the bed or something
inside when I when I took out the

134
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.799
little bull, the bowl itself was
used and put back in there. It

135
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:15.080
was never washed. And they gave
me a fifteen year old kid back in

136
00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:18.120
the eighties. And oh here's the
kicker. The box said Princess House.

137
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:22.679
But inside it was just a little
glass jar like what you would get at

138
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:28.279
the ninety nine cent store man,
but used and yellow. I mean the

139
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:33.480
glass had turned yellow. Brother.
You know what, Bro, I remember

140
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:37.679
a gift that I got that really
sucked really bad when I was a kid.

141
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:43.519
Bro. This was probably in the
seventies. I got a replica of

142
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:50.320
a g I Joe doll, a
replica. It had a funky little name,

143
00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:54.279
and the clothes were probably coming apart, the feet would come apart.

144
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:58.759
Oh yeah. It was kind of
made like a cheap Barbie doll. You

145
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.360
know it was. It was the
site for sore eyes. I remember I

146
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:05.759
seen that and that was like the
first action figure that ever got blown up

147
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:09.039
with firecrackers on the side of my
house when I was a kid in the

148
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:13.080
seventies. Bro, Jeez, I
tell you, man, there's some people

149
00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:18.440
that don't know when to not give
anything. I would have been happier.

150
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:20.399
I would have been happier with a
remember back in the eighties, a five

151
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:26.559
dollars gift certificates from McDonald's. I
would have been happy. Those were great

152
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:31.240
gifts. Those are the greatest gift
ever, especially for a team exactly just

153
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:33.840
giving McDonald cash up ahead. We
have two special guests that are going to

154
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:37.320
be doing everything that they can to
get singer songwriter Rock and Roll Hall of

155
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:43.000
Fame Steve Perry on Serious XM satellite
radio. So don't miss it ever.

156
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.639
Wish you could go back to the
eighties with the crazy clothes and those wacky

157
00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:52.000
hair dues. Well, let Tescano
and Chang transport you back in time,

158
00:12:52.559 --> 00:13:09.919
back to the eighties. Join to
the world, the world. Hey,

159
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:13.240
welcome back to back to the eighties. This is Chang from the stan Win

160
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:18.039
Chang. How's everybody doing out there? Did you just make up words to

161
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:22.320
the famous Christmas song? Yes,
you like the way I did that?

162
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:26.399
You're gonna get hit by the lightning
down that one. I think that was

163
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:30.879
pretty pretty quick, pretty witty.
I'm sure our listeners are brought out there

164
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:33.639
were probably the same thing. They're
probably going, Wow, that was pretty

165
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:39.240
clever. He doesn't know the real
word, No, he doesn't. What

166
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:43.159
so like a fake SATA clause at
a store. We are the one and

167
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.879
only back to the eighties. Thanks
for joining us. Hey, I want

168
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:48.440
to remind you guys that if you
want to drop us a note, or

169
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:52.960
you want to maybe share something for
the Chang or myself, or you even

170
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:56.840
want to maybe share an idea for
a future show, Go ahead and send

171
00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:01.480
us a direct message to our Facebook
page and chang. I think we also

172
00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:03.840
have a Patreon page right that people
can join us. I'm looking into my

173
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.399
Christmas balls on my Christmas tree and
it says yes, hit us on our

174
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:11.039
Patreon page. Every little bit helps. I know right now times are tough

175
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:16.559
and not it's not always in the
best way for anybody to give. Bod

176
00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:18.559
if you can give, please give
a little bit, because a little bit

177
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:24.480
helps and help us create the best
musical show that we can for you to

178
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:28.159
enjoy. So we were talking about
the worst gifts ever. This show is

179
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:33.159
a changry in itself. Oh my
god, tonight we don't even need to

180
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:37.000
give changers because it's at changry throughout
the show. Now, speaking of bad

181
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:41.120
gifts, I gotta tell you I
received as a kid. I used to

182
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:45.440
love action figures, but somebody thought
it was this I'm talking about maybe nineteen

183
00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:48.039
eighteen, nineteen eighty one, so
it was very I want to know your

184
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:52.120
specific age so I could get into
that mindset. Oh okay, okay,

185
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:56.799
must have been ten years old,
and somebody decided it was a good idea

186
00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:01.559
to give me action figures that were
presidents. I had an action figure of

187
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:07.120
Ronald Reagan, believe it or not. He had a little suit and you

188
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:09.639
can change his suit and you can
dress him up as a cowboy as well.

189
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:15.360
Yes, and you have one of
Obama na and it's not even a

190
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:18.799
bobblehead either. No. Apparently my
action figure came in a set. His

191
00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:24.039
companion was Donald Trump, believe it
or not, a young Donald Trump.

192
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:28.279
You mentioned Santa Claus. Do you
remember the age that you stopped believing in

193
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:31.399
Santa Did you ever believe in Santa
or did your folks always tell you the

194
00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:37.480
truth? You know what? When
I was a I'd say probably at the

195
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:43.679
age of eight was probably the last
time I believed in the story of Santa

196
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:46.960
Claus. Yeah, and then you
know, I grew up in the typical

197
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:54.000
Mexican style family, Chicano style family, old school, you know what I

198
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:58.240
mean. If anybody's familiar with the
George Lopez Show when he was doing that

199
00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:03.720
sitcom, that's kind of like my
family line. You know, we're every

200
00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:07.080
Christmas, there was parties, someone
was drunk, a lot of dancing at

201
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:12.200
all hours. Tomales Manoulo, you
know, the whole nine yards yeah,

202
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:17.759
everybody was pretty real, so everybody
would pop off, you know, and

203
00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:22.360
there's no Santa Claus and their whole
Santa Claus. Santa Claus don't play the

204
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:23.879
bills. I hope you liked that, and if not, your mom could

205
00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:27.279
take it back tomorrow at seris no
Sweat. I think I stopped believing in

206
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:30.960
Santa Or when I was around eight
as well. I remember that I was

207
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:36.440
looking forward to Christmas and under the
tree was a gift that I had opened.

208
00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:40.720
We've celebrated Christmas like they do a
lot in Europe as well, and

209
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:45.360
also like to do in Argentina and
in Mexico, where you open usually gifts

210
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:48.679
at midnight. I didn't open gifts
for some reason, I fell asleep.

211
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:52.559
So the next morning I opened this
little gift and it was a toolbox,

212
00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:56.840
right, and it came with real
tools, real tools. There was a

213
00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:02.000
little hammer, there was a little
saw, and everything was real. I

214
00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:06.000
loved it. So I started using
it that very next day, and I

215
00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:07.960
said, Santa Claus brought me this, you know, And I start using

216
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:12.720
it and I start hammering the tools
that I had just gotten. So I'm

217
00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:15.680
ruining the tools that I had just
gotten, and my dad sees this,

218
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:18.759
and my dad says, hey,
is that how you treat the stuff that

219
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:27.359
I buy? You can? I
go, what the hey? My dad

220
00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:33.079
knew he had screwed up, and
as a classic Italian, my dad goes,

221
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:36.400
what Sena Claus? What Santa Claus? Your mom and your dad is

222
00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:41.319
Santa Claus. You know what's funny? I caught on one year when my

223
00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:45.920
mom and dad bought me an electric
football game, and that's that game you

224
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:53.039
know that vibrates the seventies, and
I saw it in the garage. Broad

225
00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:59.200
with Christmas came in the morning.
It was wrapped there in Santa Claus paper

226
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:04.599
was a big old from Santa I
claim, bullshit. I saw that the

227
00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:11.119
gage. What's that doing in the
garage? I decided, you know,

228
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:14.119
when I get older, I'm not
gonna lie to my kids. I'll teach

229
00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:17.599
him about Santa Claus and the story, but I'm not going to tell him

230
00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:19.400
that he's real, because it's only
going to let them down. And because

231
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:23.960
I felt so bummed out that that
fantasy that I had created in my head,

232
00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:26.640
or that was created for me,
that it was all a lie.

233
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:32.240
And literally it was a shock,
and I was going, like what the

234
00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:34.759
heck, Mom and Dad, how
could you? How could you do this

235
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:38.119
to me? Now your boys still
believe in Santa Claus, right, because

236
00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:45.680
they did not. My kids are
fifteen and seventeen and they have never believed

237
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:49.160
in Santa Claus. They know the
story and they know some of the stuff,

238
00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:52.640
but they say, you know what
they always tell me, Dad,

239
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:57.480
Seriously, how can how can parents
be so cruel and build this fake world?

240
00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:02.599
And then they don't the parents don't
tell the kids you know what Santa

241
00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:06.480
Claus isn't real. Kids find out
on their own, which is even worse

242
00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:10.039
because then they say, you know
what, my parents, who I looked

243
00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:12.160
up to all my life, who
were the ones that taught me never lie?

244
00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:15.559
Who were the ones that taught me, you know, always be truthful

245
00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:19.680
and honest? They were the worst
liars of all. Yeah. Man,

246
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:23.960
Now, in the Changa household,
me and my wife, we've portrayed Santa

247
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:26.599
Claus to the tea, you know. Now, we had four girls.

248
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:30.880
Three of them were a year apart, and then the baby came later,

249
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.240
you know, Jennifer came later.
So our girls, we had them fooled,

250
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:36.200
you know. But sometimes they would
wake up in the middle of the

251
00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:38.839
night with me and my old lady
A or wrapping presents or putting stuff together,

252
00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:42.079
you know, trying to pass it
off for Sava. So we would

253
00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:47.960
do that, you know, for
years, and they grow up, you

254
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:49.440
know, fively relighting. It wasn't
joke, you know what I mean.

255
00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:53.160
They would make jokes. Everybody in
the family, in my in the households

256
00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:56.720
was a jokester. So they started
making jokes. And I'll never forget they

257
00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:02.599
broke the youngest daughters when they were
making jokes at the dinner table. Santa

258
00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:07.599
Claus. There is those Santa Claus, Santa Claus mom and dad drinking alcohol

259
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:12.960
and Billy Toy Jeffer. It's like
that, you know, the cruel reality

260
00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:18.039
of there is no Santa Claus bears
us all Merry Christmas to all. I'm

261
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:22.559
going to go out and go on
the limb and we're gonna give you something

262
00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:26.000
that says Christmas, just like Christmas
was said back in the eighties. Here

263
00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:30.839
is everybody's favorite Billy Squire with Christmas
is the time to say I love you

264
00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:38.920
right here with the Scuttlewood chang and
back to the eighties you're listening to.

265
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:42.200
Back to the eighties, back to
the eighties radio that was Christmas is the

266
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:45.599
Time to Say I Love You by
Billy Squire. Not too many people know

267
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:52.960
that song chang you know what?
Not too many people remember Billy Squire.

268
00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:56.279
Not too many people know the song
you know What. Not too many people

269
00:20:56.319 --> 00:21:00.079
know who even who's the singer.
As a matter of fact, I think

270
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:06.480
we're just reminding people that there was
an actual Billy Squire in the nineteen eighties

271
00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:11.799
and not only created that song,
but the Great Masturbation Song, which was

272
00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:15.000
like what this dude thought of his
mind? And then he's worried a pink

273
00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:21.519
blazer. Billy Squire got kind of
crazy back in the eighties in the when

274
00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:25.200
video came out. I remember that
one time he was rolling around on the

275
00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:30.839
floor with like a netted blouse.
I was like, whoa bro. He

276
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:33.079
had a few singles that were big
heads, you should be high in Love,

277
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:37.400
and the big Heat that was from
nineteen eighty in the Dark Lonely as

278
00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:42.279
the Nights, my kind of lover, everybody wants you emotions and emotion and

279
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:49.119
forget stroked me, stroke me baby. He had some interesting, interesting songs

280
00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:53.720
there, from nineteen eighty all the
way to nineteen eighty nine, and then

281
00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:56.359
he went, of course to the
nineteen ninety three and stuff like that with

282
00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:00.279
only nine albums. Believe it or
not, I would probably like to see

283
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:07.160
what Billy Squire would create nowadays if
he came back out on maybe some type

284
00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:11.079
of tour with somebody else from the
eighties. Who would you like to see

285
00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:18.279
Billy Squire do a quick show with? Nostalgically? How about Tommy Tutone?

286
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:27.079
How about the Cure? That wouldn't
mix cure? You know, I've got

287
00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:32.000
some cure music for you. I've
got some cure music for you. Just

288
00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:33.960
for that. That's good because that's
not the kind of cure I'm looking for.

289
00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:37.680
But right here you can get anything
you want it. Back to the

290
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:41.880
eighties. Yeah, that's right,
here's the cure with boys. Don't cry

291
00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:49.880
back to the eighties. We'll be
right back. This will Oh my god,

292
00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:52.480
Hey some of you remember the eighties? Five right? Well, it

293
00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:59.279
lives loud and proud on back to
the eighties with my pals to Scotto and

294
00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:11.200
Chain. No, no disrespect to
any fan of the Cure, but hey,

295
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:14.680
like that's not my cup of What
are you gonna do? You know

296
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:17.400
what? I love The Cure.
That was my I told you it was

297
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:22.480
my first concert ever at the Los
Angeles Forum. Wow. I've seen many

298
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:25.720
of the great concerts in basketball games
at the Forum. But the Cure,

299
00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:29.720
I have to tell you, I
think I missed that because I wanted to

300
00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:36.200
hate time. I hate me.
Every time I see the guy from The

301
00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:40.359
Cure, the movie saw pops into
my head and I don't know this.

302
00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:44.240
I want to see the guy,
you mean, the guy writing the Little

303
00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:48.920
Puppet, the little puppet writing the
tricycle. I want to see Michael Smith,

304
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:55.799
Robert Smith, whatever. I want
to see that guy right out on

305
00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:59.640
the tricycle, and I want to
be there with you. The only reason

306
00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:03.039
I would ever go to that concert
is to see your face when he actually

307
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:10.240
rides out on a tricycle. That
was That's hilarious. That's hilarious. We're

308
00:24:10.279 --> 00:24:15.240
talking about the worst gifts ever received
back in the eighties. Let's get into

309
00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:18.319
some of the better gifts. What
was some of the some of the gifts

310
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:21.839
that you said, Oh man,
I enjoyed that gift so much. It

311
00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:25.319
wouldn't be a Cure cassette. That's
I was gonna say. I was gonna

312
00:24:25.359 --> 00:24:30.440
say it was it a cure album. Oh man, let's see. One

313
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:37.640
of the best gifts I ever got
in the eighties was a bonga. You

314
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:41.400
know, how come that does not
surprise me at all. Change. One

315
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:45.960
of my best buddies that I grew
up right there in my neighborhood gave me

316
00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:52.480
a bong, and man, we
shared that bong all the way through life

317
00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:56.119
itself. As a matter of fact, I still hold ownership to that bong,

318
00:24:56.759 --> 00:25:02.160
but I don't use it anymore.
It's just something that I have that

319
00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:07.839
I decorate my bar with. It's
a little part of the old me that

320
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:11.839
goes with me everywhere I go.
You know, you truly are the embodiment

321
00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:15.759
of the offspring of Chee Ching Chong. Yes, thank you very much.

322
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:22.079
That's if you get the chat I
can't remember. I think the best gift

323
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:25.279
I got back in the eighties was, of course my first bike, my

324
00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:30.759
first BMX bike. In love with
it. Man, I went everywhere on

325
00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:34.359
my bike as teenagers usually did back
then. Dude. BNX was a badass

326
00:25:34.400 --> 00:25:37.279
bike back in the eighties. Man, it was a step up from from

327
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:41.880
Schwinn. Oh. This is the
one and only back to the eighties radio.

328
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:42.920
Let's take a quick break. When
will you come back? There's more

329
00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:48.400
mattness here with to Skyto and Chang. Don't go away, Merry Christmas.

330
00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:52.200
Hey, if you listen to rock
and roll radio in the eighties, then

331
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:57.559
listen to this Toscato and Chang.
They will transport you back in time,

332
00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:02.799
back to the eighties. You're listening
to a special edition of Back to the

333
00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:06.039
Eighties Chang. Before the break,
we told everybody that we were going to

334
00:26:06.119 --> 00:26:08.440
have two special guests, and that
we do. My brother, They're doing

335
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:14.640
everything they can to get singer songwriter, rock and roll Hall of Famer,

336
00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:18.960
your friend and mine, Steve Perry
on Sirius XM satellite radio with his own

337
00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:22.759
channel. Can you believe it?
But what nowadays? I can believe just

338
00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:30.599
about anything that anybody will do in
the music era because everybody right now needs

339
00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:33.319
a little bit of unity. They
need a little bit of peace of mind.

340
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:36.880
People need to get their mind up
of all the tragedy and crap going

341
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:38.240
on. Yeah. Now, remember, you're not going to be a hater

342
00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:41.559
today because I love Steve Perry and
I know you do too. Brother.

343
00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:45.680
No, I'm not going to hate
because I notice you're wearing a shirt that

344
00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:51.119
has a Steve Perry on duct tape
on the back of your shirt that says

345
00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:57.640
I Love Steve. Yes, okay, I'm very okay with that. As

346
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:02.519
you all know, SERI SEXM has
a bunch of channels dedicated to a certain

347
00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:07.160
artists such as Elvis, The Beatles, the E Street Band with Bruce Springstein,

348
00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:10.960
YouTube, Grateful Dead, Ozzie's Bone
Yard, the Cover's channel, will

349
00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:14.279
Believe It or Not, and a
bunch of others. Now, a great

350
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:18.079
group of people are now on board
for a very special project, and that

351
00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:23.400
would be the Steve Perry Classic Journey
Serious XM Station. And with us today

352
00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:27.839
is Karen Riley, who is the
team leader for the Petition project, and

353
00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:33.079
project manager Devita Williams, who say
that their mission is to come together as

354
00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:40.880
one and act harmoniously as they promote
Steve Perry's music and legacy. Karen and

355
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:45.839
DeVito, welcome to Back to the
Eighties Radio and thank you. Thank you

356
00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:51.079
gals for taking the time to share
this awesome project with all eighties fans.

357
00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:55.559
Well, thank you for having us. We really appreciate this and yes,

358
00:27:56.240 --> 00:28:02.839
are to be part of your first
program to feature music. Excited Yeah,

359
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:11.480
Yeah, Lady it's great to have
you both. Thank you and a previous

360
00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:15.799
happy New Year. Yeah, we
are. We are definitely hoping that the

361
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:18.839
new twenty twenty one year will be
that we will be in a different world

362
00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:23.599
literally, just that the challenging times
will will be behind us, ladies.

363
00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:26.880
Steve Perry, just to let you
know, is one of my favorite singers

364
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:32.440
in all the world. He's touched
so many lives with with his lyrics and

365
00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:36.839
with his unmistakable voice. How did
you two meet and how did this idea

366
00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:38.759
come into fruition? How did it
come to be? Um? Well,

367
00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:45.240
we came to meet through a group
called the Steve Perry Legacy Group. And

368
00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:48.880
Um, first, I'm with the
owner of the group and her name is

369
00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:53.799
pat Tricia, And so we were
part of another group at one point time

370
00:28:55.240 --> 00:29:00.920
and we helped to make that group, that previous group positive claps that would

371
00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:04.359
help to elevate the music. So
we came up with a mid statement that

372
00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:08.799
we focused on like I like you
have how you had previously mentioned and so,

373
00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:12.559
um, we were part of that
group at that time. Karen wasn't

374
00:29:12.559 --> 00:29:18.000
on a part of that previous one, but when we started this one,

375
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:22.920
the Steve Perry Legacy group. Karen
was one of those to join us,

376
00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:26.079
So that's how we met. What
are some of the emotions that arise from

377
00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:32.039
listening to Steve perry songs? And
does it require special canceling? From the

378
00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:37.079
love Hate doctors here on back to
the eighties. For me, it's soulful.

379
00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:44.039
I mean, his music touches my
heart. I soul and when I'm

380
00:29:44.079 --> 00:29:47.640
happy, I listened to him.
When I'm you know, sad, I

381
00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:52.039
listened to him. There's so much
soulful emotion. That's how I let it.

382
00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:56.480
You know, in his music it
touch issues and for me it does

383
00:29:56.559 --> 00:30:03.119
touch my heart and touches really my
spirit. He has a really soulful way

384
00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:07.960
of singing those songs and the vernacular
of the R and B the great art,

385
00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:15.039
the great R and B artist.
Immediately I remembered him. I didn't

386
00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:18.640
know who he was, but back
in the eighties when we were the world

387
00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:21.519
came along. Yes, it's funny
because I was about to mention that,

388
00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:26.200
yeah, I knew everybody in that
in that crowd, but I didn't know

389
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:30.240
his name. His voice took out
Wow, Cyndi Lauper and Tina Turner and

390
00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:34.359
James Ingraman I knew him, and
then it was like, who's that five

391
00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:40.079
with the big nose? But who
can really sing right? Right? So

392
00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:44.279
I really didn't know who that was. I wasn't exposed to that kind of

393
00:30:44.359 --> 00:30:48.039
music at that age, but his
voice stood out. I loved Michael Jackson

394
00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:52.920
hands down seeing a turnist and they
lauper Huey Lewis. I knew him all

395
00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:56.240
by name. I just didn't know
who he was. But his was the

396
00:30:56.400 --> 00:31:03.680
favorite part we because we sang his
We sang that song when we graduated in

397
00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:06.440
your high school, Oh we Are, we Are the world song, we

398
00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:11.119
have the World? Yeah, And
that was the um. That section that

399
00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:15.160
he sang was a section I was
me and my grade class was assigned to

400
00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:19.160
say and chang, what about you? What kind of emotions does that stir

401
00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:22.559
up in you? Chang? That
stirred up is like Wow, there must

402
00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:27.880
be a lot of hairspray smell in
that room about right now? My god,

403
00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:33.279
how how do so many people fit
in one room with five hundred eight

404
00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:38.480
thoughs on top of it? Incredible? Ladies. I have a question,

405
00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:45.640
what is your favorite Journey or Steve
Perry solo song? I addressed the question

406
00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:52.240
to both of you. Number one
would be San Cassie Journey and that's off

407
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:56.640
of their Dream After Dream album.
It was brilliant, and that was a

408
00:31:56.680 --> 00:32:01.960
soundtrack to the unreleased Dream After Dream
Japanese import movie. It was brilliant because

409
00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:07.680
it sounded like Philly International. Yeah, um, I don't know Pink Floyd

410
00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:15.599
and I got a chance to tell
Steve about that. And number two faithfully

411
00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:22.480
okay, three separate Ways, Oh, excellent choices. Excellent choices, And

412
00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:29.799
that was the B side I believe
of o' sherry. What what's involved in

413
00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:34.640
getting an artist on Sirius XM Karen. It seems like it's not an easy

414
00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:37.480
task. No, it's a lot
of work. I'll tell you. We

415
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:43.640
started a year ago and we sent
a press statement out to everybody, you

416
00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:46.480
know, to all the radio stations, anybody that we could to let them

417
00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:51.799
know that we were doing this,
and we really didn't get a good response,

418
00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:55.359
which was kind of disappointing. But
one of the one of the biggest

419
00:32:55.359 --> 00:33:01.640
things we found out was we started
going to the fan other fan groups other

420
00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:07.240
than Legacy, and we start reaching
out and I started doing, like ah

421
00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:14.400
a challenge for them to like get
people to sign the petition and then I

422
00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:16.279
would do a shout out at the
end of the week, and I did

423
00:33:16.319 --> 00:33:20.680
a power point with a shout out
with all their names, and they seem

424
00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:22.920
to love it. We really started
to rule, you know, to get

425
00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:28.039
you know, the signatures. I
commend you ladies for doing that. So

426
00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:30.799
many people out there that are not
in touch or not aware of the artists

427
00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:37.400
music, and we need true fans
that have the goal and are going to

428
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:43.319
go through the proper channels to get
that music exposed to them because when you

429
00:33:43.359 --> 00:33:45.279
know, when you break it all
down, music and comedy are the only

430
00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:53.039
two things that unify people in a
positive manner other than having sex. But

431
00:33:53.119 --> 00:34:00.079
even that transition. I love the
eighties. That's what I was raised in

432
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:05.640
and you know, we all were. We Legacy really has a passion,

433
00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:09.119
you know, and we do things
right. We're professional. We just don't

434
00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:13.000
you know. We have a lot
of rules that we go by, but

435
00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:16.400
we do things right. And I
come from a very professional background. I'm

436
00:34:16.440 --> 00:34:22.199
retired now, but I'm using all
my skills that I you know, went

437
00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:25.000
to school for and did and in
the business world, and I'm using them

438
00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:30.239
now with Legacy and Davida and it's
exciting. I mean it is exciting because

439
00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:36.000
we love Steve Perry and we love
classic Journey and we want this channel.

440
00:34:36.239 --> 00:34:37.519
Do you guys have a certain date
that you say okay, well, if

441
00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:42.639
it's not on by such and such
date, that's it? Or does serious

442
00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:51.159
XM say so okay, so so
we can continue and okay? Well that

443
00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:54.119
answers. That answers my question.
And so far from people from all the

444
00:34:54.159 --> 00:35:00.199
comments or calls or emails, what's
the reception for the petitian been like so

445
00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:04.920
far for you gals? Could I
read some of the comments, just a

446
00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:10.519
few that you know they left on
the petition? Steve Perry has a true

447
00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:15.239
inspiration to all his fans. We
can never get enough of hearing him or

448
00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:22.199
his voice. And one person said, I am so surprised that Steve Perry

449
00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:28.000
the voice has not got a serious
that sand channel. And I mean,

450
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:30.199
we're you know, I have no
words. I'm going this will be the

451
00:35:30.239 --> 00:35:34.599
last one. I don't want to
read them all, but I have really

452
00:35:34.679 --> 00:35:39.679
no words to express how much we
need Steve Perry's voice and Perry and Journey

453
00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:46.920
music in this crazy twenty twenty and
beyond world. I speaks good that speaks

454
00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:53.119
violence. And I have to also
say that we have UM international fans really

455
00:35:53.119 --> 00:36:00.079
behind. We have fans that UM
in Japan, Philippine sports with goal those

456
00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:07.960
doors where his immediate families from Australia, South America, Germany, UK,

457
00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:14.719
Talkey, South Africa, they've all
signed this and they're sharing this, so

458
00:36:14.880 --> 00:36:21.159
they're probably that's fantastic, trying to
amp the awareness for the baddest audience.

459
00:36:21.639 --> 00:36:27.840
We're joined here by Karen Riley and
Davida Williams. Has twenty twenty been challenging

460
00:36:27.880 --> 00:36:31.840
for the petition or has it given
it a boost like it's given a boost

461
00:36:31.880 --> 00:36:36.280
to podcasters. Well, I think
it's up and down. You know,

462
00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:43.800
UM lately we're booming now and thank
you guys for putting us on because this

463
00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:45.239
is what we need. We need
to get out there and this is what

464
00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:49.000
we want to get out there and
get the word out there. But I

465
00:36:49.039 --> 00:36:53.280
think twenty twenty there's more people at
home, more listening, and more willing

466
00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:58.880
and more time to be able to
go and share this petition with others.

467
00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:01.159
I think it's kind of helped them, you know. You know what I

468
00:37:01.199 --> 00:37:07.119
noticed there's a lot more nostalgia now, there's a lot more people sitting around

469
00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:09.840
going you know what, I want
to go back to, you know,

470
00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:15.159
the ladies or seventies or wherever they
were from, whatever their their most meaningful

471
00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:19.760
years were, because we know that
there were years that that you know,

472
00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:22.760
we were happy. No, not
everything was great, and we understand that,

473
00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:27.039
but we did have a great time. We didn't. You know what

474
00:37:27.079 --> 00:37:32.119
I'm noticing, ladies and Tusky,
we are kind of becoming almost like that

475
00:37:32.559 --> 00:37:38.559
David Bowie song, the young American. I think we're falling into the brink

476
00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:45.840
of that now that our generations are
becoming the wiser generations, the leaders of

477
00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:53.119
generations, the principles of the professors, the surgeons, the lawyers, the

478
00:37:53.199 --> 00:38:00.480
politicians. So I think with the
change of tides, with the age that

479
00:38:00.519 --> 00:38:06.079
we bring, we bring a new
flavor of of yes, of of hope,

480
00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:14.159
adoration, wise, but fun.
We're more open and prone to have

481
00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:21.719
discussions and get things done no matter
what somebody's ethnicity or social status is.

482
00:38:21.960 --> 00:38:25.960
Yes, So I think, yes, that is a very powerful in itself.

483
00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:30.159
And uh, it's what these ladies
have. And I think by them

484
00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:36.400
reaching out and us reaching out and
them going into the networks like this,

485
00:38:37.079 --> 00:38:42.159
it's going to be received a lot
better and it will be accepted because we

486
00:38:42.199 --> 00:38:45.400
are the generation calling the shots.
And I say that, and that's all

487
00:38:45.440 --> 00:38:50.840
across the board. Once the channel
goes up, what is your involvement going

488
00:38:50.880 --> 00:38:54.400
to be? Are you still going
to be doing something with the with the

489
00:38:54.480 --> 00:38:58.480
channel or you go on to the
next thing. Well, we're going to

490
00:38:58.639 --> 00:39:00.760
go on to the next thing,
you know. Serious extent says, Hey,

491
00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:08.440
would you like to be a part
of it? We have, Yeah,

492
00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:10.880
all right, We're gonna be heavily
involved in in our group. But

493
00:39:12.039 --> 00:39:15.920
I know that for me Um and
Karen of course, because she's like a

494
00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:21.119
right hand person as a team leader, you know, whenever they want to

495
00:39:21.119 --> 00:39:24.280
he sure. And Karen, what
about you? Are you gonna try to

496
00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:28.800
continue or do something else or what's
your next big venture? You know what

497
00:39:28.920 --> 00:39:34.119
the big venture is to get and
maintain that legacy for Steve Perry to me

498
00:39:34.480 --> 00:39:39.039
and legacy, that's what we're about. So that's the most important thing,

499
00:39:39.079 --> 00:39:45.880
whatever is next. Because here's how
I feel about the eighties music is it

500
00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:49.559
was great. I love it.
I love your station because I now listen

501
00:39:49.639 --> 00:39:53.920
to it and I love all that
music, and it's important for the people,

502
00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:59.360
the young people coming up to hear
this music, and to save this

503
00:39:59.480 --> 00:40:04.880
music for them to hear, because
I mean, this is the good music.

504
00:40:05.159 --> 00:40:07.880
I don't want to say bad things
about what's going on today with the

505
00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:12.480
music. Well, but you know
what, the eighties we have it.

506
00:40:12.840 --> 00:40:17.039
You know, we did it,
and it's super and we want that legacy

507
00:40:17.079 --> 00:40:23.079
of that music to continue for generations
and generation. You know, that's the

508
00:40:23.119 --> 00:40:29.000
motto of our of our show.
It's we're introducing the eighties to a whole

509
00:40:29.039 --> 00:40:34.159
new generation. Yes, and and
but with our show, for example,

510
00:40:34.239 --> 00:40:37.239
it's everything, whether it be good
or bad. We want we want the

511
00:40:37.239 --> 00:40:40.960
new generation to know what we went
through, not just what our parents told

512
00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:45.880
us about it, or or what
are you know whoever you know said something

513
00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:51.800
about it. We want to give
the younger audience a chance to find out

514
00:40:51.840 --> 00:40:54.280
what it was all about. And
and that was you. You beat me

515
00:40:54.320 --> 00:40:57.480
to the punch, because our next
question was going to be what does the

516
00:40:57.519 --> 00:41:00.280
eighties? What does eighties music mean? I love it, I love it.

517
00:41:00.360 --> 00:41:05.119
I'm a dancer and I love and
so its Divita. We love to

518
00:41:05.199 --> 00:41:07.480
dance a whole lot, hurt.
We have something in common. We've danced

519
00:41:07.519 --> 00:41:13.440
our lives and she you know from
a little girl. In fact, my

520
00:41:14.400 --> 00:41:19.000
brother had a rock band. He
played in our house. He practiced.

521
00:41:19.360 --> 00:41:23.000
All I know is rock music and
dancing and how you know, and and

522
00:41:23.119 --> 00:41:29.159
Devita's the same way and that music. It's that's we lived for, that

523
00:41:29.440 --> 00:41:34.360
music. If you could go back
to the eighties to save one of your

524
00:41:34.440 --> 00:41:37.760
favorite items back then, whatever it
was, what would you bring with you.

525
00:41:38.280 --> 00:41:44.760
I would probably bring my albums from
the music that I had, like

526
00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:51.119
a whole thing of albums of different
music, especially Journey, and I bring

527
00:41:51.159 --> 00:41:55.920
all that because that was something that's
left behind the vinyl albums. Vinyl there's

528
00:41:55.920 --> 00:42:00.719
nothing like good old vinyl. What
have I? You dvida, same thing.

529
00:42:00.760 --> 00:42:06.400
I have my vinyl albums too,
So I was thinking something else,

530
00:42:06.440 --> 00:42:08.079
But I was like, when she
brought that up, I said, no,

531
00:42:08.280 --> 00:42:17.360
she's right, because I keep those
close to my Yeah, I definitely

532
00:42:17.400 --> 00:42:22.960
would take a sets uh and my
boom box and the number two pencil so

533
00:42:23.000 --> 00:42:29.360
I can tighten up the heads on
my rock and roll all through the night.

534
00:42:29.559 --> 00:42:32.880
And don't forget don't forget a qute
tip with some alcohol to clean the

535
00:42:32.920 --> 00:42:37.360
hands on your tape record. That's
right. What we're gonna do is We're

536
00:42:37.360 --> 00:42:44.199
going to put that petition on our
Back to the Eighties Facebook page, our

537
00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:50.559
our Twitter page as well, and
and on our Instagram. But we're definitely

538
00:42:50.559 --> 00:42:53.880
going to put that petition on our
social media. I'm having a heck of

539
00:42:53.880 --> 00:42:58.079
a time trying to get logged back
into my my Space. I don't know

540
00:42:58.119 --> 00:43:07.480
what's going on. I didn't even
know it. I don't. I think

541
00:43:07.519 --> 00:43:10.400
there is somebody. I heard that
this past week. Yeah, I think

542
00:43:10.400 --> 00:43:19.679
there is still uh people with their
MySpace accounts. Yeah. Wow. My

543
00:43:19.840 --> 00:43:23.599
beeper sits at my nightstand and no
one has beat me since nineteen eighty.

544
00:43:30.199 --> 00:43:34.400
Karen and Devita, it's been great
having you both on Back to the Eighties.

545
00:43:34.960 --> 00:43:37.840
Will you guys must both be on
with us again. And I hope

546
00:43:37.880 --> 00:43:43.199
that we can all get to hear
the Steve Perry channel because of awesome people,

547
00:43:43.480 --> 00:43:46.559
hard working people such as yourselves.
That's how you get things done.

548
00:43:46.840 --> 00:43:52.199
And so I really appreciate it because
I'm gonna love it. I want both

549
00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:58.519
of your favorite Journey song I love
Faithfully, I love that song and living

550
00:43:58.559 --> 00:44:04.920
Devita Williams, what's your yes?
Oh no, okay? I said,

551
00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:08.320
sand Castle, sand Castle yeah,
right on. Well, I'll tell you

552
00:44:08.360 --> 00:44:12.280
what this is. Back to the
eighties. Here's the great Steve Perry with

553
00:44:12.400 --> 00:44:16.079
journey Stone and love on back to
the ighties radio. If you can't wear

554
00:44:16.119 --> 00:44:22.239
a spandex jumpsuit, what can you
do? This? Back back to the

555
00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:30.840
eighties. All right, we are
back back to the eighties and you are

556
00:44:30.400 --> 00:44:37.320
gathered by the lovely to Scottowin Jack. How is everybody doing out there?

557
00:44:37.440 --> 00:44:43.119
Merry Christmas, Happy hot Aco,
Joy to the world. Hey, by

558
00:44:43.159 --> 00:44:45.480
the way, Chang, you know, we we're talking about the least favorite

559
00:44:45.480 --> 00:44:49.400
gifts, but that we still enjoyed
them. And I got the pair of

560
00:44:49.400 --> 00:44:53.280
tube socks. Well guess what I'm
still I'm still wearing those tube socks right

561
00:44:53.320 --> 00:45:01.679
now. Oh many easy. That
they still fit you when you got him

562
00:45:01.679 --> 00:45:04.920
when you were eleven, that is
a well, of course they fit me.

563
00:45:04.960 --> 00:45:07.239
They were They were for a grown
man, and he gave it to

564
00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:24.400
me. Now that you could have
warmed like they were lag warmers, I

565
00:45:24.440 --> 00:45:29.199
did. They were. They went
up, They went up all the way

566
00:45:29.280 --> 00:45:38.519
through my crotch almost back then.
Man. That is that beats all the

567
00:45:38.559 --> 00:45:43.559
gifts. That's that's just that's just
that's some good stuff right there. Yeah,

568
00:45:43.599 --> 00:45:46.480
I would love to picture. That's
okay, that's okay. I still

569
00:45:46.519 --> 00:45:52.559
got to page from the Herald Examiner
too. That's good because that that newspaper

570
00:45:53.000 --> 00:45:58.199
bankrupt. I'm waiting for somebody who
I don't like to give him that same

571
00:45:58.239 --> 00:46:01.400
pair of socks, wrap him up
in that same paper and pass it along.

572
00:46:02.199 --> 00:46:06.119
Let me take a couple of seconds
here to say something serious on a

573
00:46:06.159 --> 00:46:09.239
serious note before we let you guys
go. And that's this chain. Nobody

574
00:46:09.320 --> 00:46:14.079
knew what twenty twenty was going to
bring in, nobody personally. We've lost

575
00:46:14.199 --> 00:46:16.880
some family members. I know that
you've lost some friends. And it's been

576
00:46:16.920 --> 00:46:22.039
a tough ride for everybody, everybody
listening. So much going on here in

577
00:46:22.039 --> 00:46:27.280
the United States, with politics,
so many people. In spite of all

578
00:46:27.440 --> 00:46:31.840
the death, the sickness, the
illness going on around us, the tragedies,

579
00:46:32.119 --> 00:46:37.239
we still have people backbiting each other. We still have people fighting each

580
00:46:37.239 --> 00:46:43.360
other wanting to put another human being
down because they believe in a specific leader

581
00:46:43.400 --> 00:46:46.599
of the country or because the other
one believes in another leader of the country.

582
00:46:46.880 --> 00:46:52.039
And you know what, I'm frankly
disgusted. I'm disgusted by the way

583
00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:55.239
our human nature is. I thought
to myself, I'm so happy. I'm

584
00:46:55.239 --> 00:47:00.480
so glad that we're doing back to
the eighties because this is a little bit

585
00:47:00.760 --> 00:47:04.559
of a relief. This is a
little bit of an escape for you and

586
00:47:04.639 --> 00:47:08.400
for me and for anybody listening to
where we can present another side to the

587
00:47:08.440 --> 00:47:12.559
coin. We can present the other
side of human nature, which is a

588
00:47:12.679 --> 00:47:15.360
kinder side, which is a side
of human nature where we used to care.

589
00:47:15.679 --> 00:47:20.079
It was an era that we used
to care so much for each other.

590
00:47:20.280 --> 00:47:24.199
Problems arose, and as a young
teen and even as a child,

591
00:47:24.360 --> 00:47:29.599
if you were back then, we
didn't know what problems our parents faced.

592
00:47:29.880 --> 00:47:35.000
We didn't know about the economy,
we didn't know the problems in politics,

593
00:47:35.159 --> 00:47:37.320
and you know what, we didn't
care. We were the happiest kids on

594
00:47:37.360 --> 00:47:42.320
earth back then. And if we
can take this time from our program,

595
00:47:42.559 --> 00:47:45.679
during our program to bring a smile
to your face, it's all worth it.

596
00:47:45.800 --> 00:47:51.119
Brother, and I could not be
doing this program if I didn't have

597
00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:54.320
my best bud with me. And
to all of you who are listening,

598
00:47:54.440 --> 00:47:58.880
the Chang has been with me since
day one, since we were at the

599
00:47:58.920 --> 00:48:02.840
Academy of Radio and Television in Los
Angeles. You know, There's nobody on

600
00:48:02.880 --> 00:48:07.039
earth that I'd rather do this program
with. So I appreciate your brother,

601
00:48:07.159 --> 00:48:09.719
and I wish you not only a
merry Christmas, but I wish you the

602
00:48:09.760 --> 00:48:15.400
best New Year, as I wish
everybody that's listening the best New Year possible.

603
00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:19.199
Thank you guys, Thank you guys
for making back to the eighties what

604
00:48:19.360 --> 00:48:22.840
it is, and I'd look forward
to doing so much more because we have

605
00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:28.960
so much more on back to the
Eighties. I am Toscano and I am

606
00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:34.760
wishing you a grand Christmas, and
let next year be way better than this

607
00:48:34.800 --> 00:48:38.000
one. Remember to do what you're
supposed to do. Call somebody, tell

608
00:48:38.039 --> 00:48:42.800
them you love them, and do
your best to be part of a solution

609
00:48:43.280 --> 00:48:45.320
and not the problem. Thank you
for listening to Back to the eighties,

610
00:48:45.800 --> 00:48:51.440
and thank you for being a part
of a generation that had the greatest music

611
00:48:51.519 --> 00:48:55.719
of all time. Toscano saying goodbye
to you and we'll see you next year.

612
00:48:57.000 --> 00:49:00.199
I want to wish you all very
merry Christmas, a happy hones and

613
00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:04.840
a very happy New Year. I
know it's tough right now. I know

614
00:49:05.239 --> 00:49:07.000
there's a lot of things we can't
go out there and do like we did

615
00:49:07.039 --> 00:49:12.679
before. Don't let that get you
down. Remember I bring you all the

616
00:49:12.719 --> 00:49:16.440
best wishes. Enjoy yourself as best
as you can. Get a hold of

617
00:49:16.480 --> 00:49:21.079
your loved ones that you can't sit
there personally with, get a hold of

618
00:49:21.239 --> 00:49:24.599
by social media, call them on
the phone. There's no reason just because

619
00:49:24.599 --> 00:49:29.400
you're not the same room you can't
be in the same vibe. Love somebody

620
00:49:29.440 --> 00:49:31.239
better than you can, love yourself. Go out there and stand up for

621
00:49:31.360 --> 00:49:36.639
something bigger than yourself. And remember, don't let this get you down.

622
00:49:37.039 --> 00:49:40.400
I know exactly how you feel.
This will be me and my missus Chang's

623
00:49:40.400 --> 00:49:46.159
first Christmas away from our children,
our grandchildren. But remember hope is always

624
00:49:46.559 --> 00:49:52.760
the guiding rope that is going to
get us to tomorrow. So from the

625
00:49:52.079 --> 00:49:55.920
Chang, with all of my love
in my heart, I bid you all

626
00:49:57.159 --> 00:50:02.039
