one at only Back to the Eighties

9
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:03.799
Radio Welcome everybody, Thank you for
joining us on another Friday. It has

10
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.040
been a long week without you,
so thank you for taking the time to

11
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.439
join us here. Of course,
we can't do the show alone, because

12
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:15.040
this is the type of show that
brings back those nostalgic memories that make that

13
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.480
decade all the more worthwhile to talk
about with me as he is every single

14
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:23.599
time we get together. It is
said that he has been seen drinking a

15
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:27.480
twelve pack of Jolt Kola only because
he likes to hear his hard play handball

16
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:32.799
against his chess cavity. He says
that the meaning of life is written on

17
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:38.239
each one of his split ends.
But here add back to the eighties radio.

18
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.920
We call him the chang Ola said
the one night Chola. Hello do

you guys for taking the time to
listen to Back to the Eighties Radio.

44
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:34.080
Back to the eighties. It is
going to be right back. And that's

45
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:38.759
a thread. Ladies and gentlemen.
I'm shoutout Stevens and you must listen to

46
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:46.080
Back to the Eighties Radio. It's
the law. He was a coke,

47
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:52.759
she was a Pepsi together. They
were a coke and a Pepsi. It's

48
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:55.159
the story of a much older,
older Pepsi and a much younger coke.

49
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:59.719
She offered him a thrill. He
went along for the ride until one day

50
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.199
jealousy took over. Pepsi found out
her friends like the new coke for his

51
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:09.680
better taste, and that's when they
fell out. Well that's when Pepsi fell

52
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:15.759
out. This is Mcmcmmacidrum Cat's the
wave coke. If they were a laxative,

53
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:21.319
they'd be so powerful you could stand
on your head and on the ceiling.

54
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:28.639
That position will not only but also
undignified. And now back to the

55
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:32.120
eighties with Tiscano and Chang, Boys
and girls and Ladies of the eighties.

56
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:38.079
You are back to Back to the
Eighties hosted by yours truly Tiscano and Whoah

57
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:42.600
the Chang. I want to remind
all of you out there too, if

58
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:45.600
you could possibly do it. I
know times are tight, but any little

59
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.759
thing can help. Hit us on
our Patreon page and you'll get a special

60
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:54.680
surprise if you do right. Tusky
our Patreon pages patron dot com and hit

61
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:59.399

62
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:03.519
No, we're not asking for clothing
donations or broken toys, just a little

63
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:10.680
bit of a federal reserve to help
preserve radio from the past, to bring

64
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:14.240
it back at last for a little
bit. Ladies and gentlemen, if you're

65
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:17.079
used to the stupidity that we continuously
give you, whether you like it or

66
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:21.920
not, please take solace and knowing
it's going to be a little bit serious,

67
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:25.519
but every now and then you're going
to get punched in the ears with

68
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:30.279
some stupidity. Today is a very
important show because we are going to be

69
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:35.199
discussing charity events from back in the
eighties. Now, if you just joined

70
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:39.319
us, I wouldn't let you know
that. A little bit later on in

71
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:42.600
the show, we have a special
guest interview that we're going to be doing

72
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:47.399
once a month with you the eighties
fan, especially if you have something that

73
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:51.680
has to do with the eighties.
For example, our guest today, Susan

74
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:56.879
Freeman, is involved with a very
special event that we're going to talk about

75
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:00.319
in a little while. We just
want you to join us and listening to

76
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:05.800
today's show because the importance of the
charitable work and the contributions that were done

77
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:12.600
in the eighties. It seems to
me that although they've probably gotten higher and

78
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:16.279
money, I haven't seen as many
charities as well I used to. When

79
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:20.879
I was a kid or a teenager. You'll remember there were so many commercials.

80
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:26.600
There were so many infommercials to help
out charitable institutions. Do you remember

81
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:30.480
that. Oh? Yeah, they
were continuous, both on the radio,

82
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:36.600
they were on television, especially later
in the evenings. A lot of infommercials

83
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:40.680
came out. Now, it always
blew my mind when it would be an

84
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:46.920
infomercial about something very serious or a
cause or a crisis, and you know,

85
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:49.839
they would show pictures and you just
tear your heart out late at night,

86
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:54.199
and then you're sitting there crying and
you're at your checkbook and then the

87
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:57.439
next thing, some dumb blonde comes
on and says, Hi, are you

88
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:00.600
alone? I remember that a minute. I don't want to talk to you,

89
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:03.439
Kim. I'm writing a check so
I can go ahead and fight his

90
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:09.439
battle with the multiple scurosis. That's
right, if you hold on right there,

91
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:11.399
Kim, let me write this check
and then I'll get back you.

92
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:15.680
So and now, during the eighties, it was, don't you remember it

93
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.360
kind of being like that you would
get hit with something serious and then it

94
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:25.040
would be something scandalous. It was
something either a nine seven six number following

95
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:30.680
the charitable contribution, or it was
some advertisement for something sexual. You know,

96
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:34.560
it was just interesting at certain times
of the eighties. But if you

97
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:41.279
recall some of the most popular charities
back then and they still continue today,

98
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:45.000
but you don't hear about him as
much, at least I don't know.

99
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:48.839
For example, I remember the United
Way. Do you remember the Salvation Army.

100
00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:54.920
There were also so yeah, the
Red Cross, YMCA, the Boys

101
00:07:54.920 --> 00:08:01.360
and Girls Club. I remember other
foundations like the American Cancer Society, Doctors

102
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:05.240
Without Borders, the American Heart Association. One of those organizations in particular that

103
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:09.360
I remember, and we have here
in my family in my home, we

104
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:15.920
have personal experience with. And that's
World Vision. I remember as a kid.

105
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:20.879
If you remember when they used to
show their infomercials, it was the

106
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:26.160
saddest images. You would see little
children pretty much that were on their deathbed,

107
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:30.879
children dying, they were starving,
they didn't have clean water, they

108
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:33.679
didn't have anything there. Yeah,
it was it was just the saddest thing.

109
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:37.480
My dad always had his doubts.
He always used to say, I

110
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:43.279
wonder how many of those organizations are
actually giving the money to the right people.

111
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.960
I wonder how many of these organizations
are actually helping people right well.

112
00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:52.600
The first hand experience that we have
with World Vision is the following that when

113
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:56.039
my wife was a child, Now
she grew up in Guatemala, but as

114
00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:01.120
a very young child, World Vision
came to her neighborhood and fed the children

115
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:05.879
and gave them blankets and just basically
took care of them for a season.

116
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:11.799
And my wife was one of those
World Vision children. And although she wasn't

117
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:16.759
starving, but she had need,
and they took care of her needs.

118
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.480
They gave her blankets, they gave
her toys, they gave her clean water,

119
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:26.159
things like that. And she also
tells me that she had a sponsor,

120
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:28.919
so she would receive like once a
month, she would receive a letter

121
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:33.399
from the sponsor, and that she
will never forget. She doesn't know the

122
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.080
name of the sponsor, but she
wishes that she did so she can think

123
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:41.639
her now that she's an adult and
her life has changed around. But a

124
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:46.360
lot of these organizations, they showed
such a sad picture of what the world

125
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:50.320
was going through and isn't an interesting
that this thing still happens today, and

126
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:54.720
we here in the United States have
so many people thinking that they have depression

127
00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:58.879
and problems when these organizations, the
real ones that are ones that are helping

128
00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:05.879
see the real bad side humanity is
going through. On the same merit,

129
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:11.200
my friend, we also have starving
families and starving children here, and children

130
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:16.720
living on the streets, children that
were born of drug addiction and don't have

131
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:20.960
parents, that are living in foster
care, of bad adoption to homes,

132
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:28.200
and yet we cease to see any
type of aid for any of our citizens

133
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:33.080
here, children that are going through
that. And it just the reason I

134
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:37.039
bring that up because everything you just
said is is so dear to my heart

135
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:39.279
and yours. And to know the
success that your wife has had. Your

136
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:45.279
wife is now a schoolteacher, you
know, helping kids become better people,

137
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:48.240
smarter people, after going through the
hardship that she went through. And it's

138
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:54.840
just sad that we don't have very
many programs now that are aiding not only

139
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:58.799
other countries but our own country,
because it just seems like nowadays a lot

140
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:03.159
of these big wealthy corporations, it's
all about me, It's all about my

141
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:09.000
own personal greed, and not many
people are rooching out to do really anything

142
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:13.799
about it. And I hate to
bring that up and throw that into the

143
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:18.879
mix, but I just thought really
quick that the exact points that you brought

144
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:22.279
up, and the tremendously great story
you just shared with our listeners and myself

145
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:26.120
about your beautiful wife, I just
thought that I would have to direct some

146
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:31.799
attention to that. That way,
if anybody like Karen or any of these

147
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:35.720
political backers, you know, want
to find it in their heart to really

148
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:39.480
see the other side of the kaleidoscope, you know, you'll have to remember

149
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:45.639
it starts at home with everything.
On the statistical note, I want to

150
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:50.440
let you know that if you have
ever wondered how much money has been given,

151
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:52.200
for example, in the eighties compared
to now and things like that,

152
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.639
there was a decline in two thousand
and eight and two thousand and nine in

153
00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:01.559
the money that's been received by all
these organizations. But let me give you

154
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:07.480
a number. These numbers used to
be twenty point seven billion dollars is what

155
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:13.159
these organizations as a whole used to
receive during the eighties. Now they are

156
00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:16.480
receiving as a total. Check this
out. This number is huge, but

157
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:24.159
since twenty seventeen, four hundred ten
billion dollars and that's a big chunk of

158
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:28.600
change. That's a big chunk of
change. That's a few pockets full of

159
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:33.840
chunks of change. Now right now, forgive me for saying this. It

160
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:39.200
has been said that with the money
that the wroth Child's family has, now

161
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:46.000
this is the richest family in the
entire history of the world. This family's

162
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:52.120
estimated net worth or money that they
have in what they call liquid, which

163
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:58.600
is on hand, okay, is
into the several trillions of dollars. It

164
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:05.879
is said by sources that they have
underground I mean complete places underground with just

165
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:15.759
storage units packed with gold bullion and
in an amount of way over in the

166
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:18.600
trillions and trillions of dollars. But
here's what gets me bro It is said

167
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:26.240
that this family alone has enough money
to provide every single human being on the

168
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:33.399
face of this earth with a home
fully paid for and one million dollars cash

169
00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:39.360
in a bank account for every single
human and still have more money than they'll

170
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:46.519
ever be able to spell. That
is just disgusting that people have that type

171
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:50.919
of cash flow and do nothing for
their fellow man. But I'm sure,

172
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:54.320
that's not the only family brought.
I mean, look at the Koch brothers.

173
00:13:54.519 --> 00:14:01.039
If you put that family and all
the multibillionaire corporations together, all of

174
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:05.960
them, to just give out a
percentage to every single human being unearthed,

175
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:09.879
there would be no debt. Every
single person would have a home, a

176
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:15.159
roof over their head, food,
a car, and money in the bank

177
00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:20.399
for the rest of their life.
And the money would still not be spent.

178
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:22.240
Wow. Now, bro, it
is a sad thing. Bro,

179
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:28.879
And that just that takes me off. Now, how about this, now,

180
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:33.200
when we were talking about all these
billionaires millionaires, I'm gonna take it

181
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:35.440
on a side note, but I'm
gonna get out of really quick because we

182
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:37.279
have a whole show to do and
we have a lot more interesting things,

183
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:43.039
important things to discuss. Talking about
these millionaires that have more than enough money

184
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:48.279
to live on their own and their
families decently. What about all these overpaid

185
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:52.960
entertainers. Are athletes that are getting
millions of dollars and then they're getting all

186
00:14:54.039 --> 00:15:00.360
kinds of sponsorships for more millions,
and they have all this collateral and money,

187
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:05.960
yet they seem not to be doing
very much for the public and fallow

188
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:11.080
mankind with it. But then you
also have certain sports teams and athletes that

189
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:15.039
give, give, give, And
I will bring up one of the late

190
00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:18.679
great Kobe Bryant, who was always
doing charitable events. His wife continues to

191
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:24.200
do a charitable events for under privilege
and people that go without, people that

192
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:30.039
need scholarships and need a hand up. You know, very few are doing

193
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:33.879
that. And also another one Andrew
Whitworth, former Los Angeles Ram Yes super

194
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:39.879
Bowl champ Andrew Whitworth. He is
also another individual that does such work like

195
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:43.639
that. So there are few athletes
that do it, but I think I

196
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:48.960
would love to see a great percentage
more of them do more for the people

197
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:52.679
out there. So everybody can go
to sleep at night knowing they're safe,

198
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:56.559
warm, they've got something to eat, and maybe they don't have cable,

199
00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:00.919
but they can want something at home
of some type of entertainment and enjoy a

200
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:04.840
normal family life. Let me give
you a few names of athletes alone to

201
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:08.960
start off. Okay, then we'll
touch on business executive. Don't talk about

202
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:11.720
Lebron James. I hate that.
Okay, Well, now that you brought

203
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:17.360
him up, Lebron James has over
five hundred million dollars. Okay, Tiger

204
00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:22.480
Woods has over he's a net worth
of over eight hundred million. Lionel Messi

205
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:27.279
who plays in Spain and he's the
Argentine superstar, the greatest player on earth

206
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:33.519
along with Christiano Ronaldo, both have
over one billion dollars. Now, David

207
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:37.720
Beckham four hundred and fifty million.
And the list goes on and on and

208
00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:47.039
on and on with players and sports
athletes that have way over what any human

209
00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:52.440
being that we can't even imagine.
Now, yes, here's one Vince McMahon,

210
00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:57.080
who is the former professional he was
a former well he's a chairman CEO

211
00:16:57.159 --> 00:17:03.039
of WWE and and you know he's
been around since the eighties. His net

212
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:07.279
worth is over one point six billion. That guy's a water of Yeah,

213
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:11.839
that's not even For example, Michael
Jordan, who has been long since retired

214
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:17.480
of his professional athletic days with the
Chicago Bulls and the Washington Wizards. He's

215
00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:22.839
at two over two point two billion
dollars just this year, making him the

216
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:27.559
world's richest athlete. Although Steel retired. Look at the shoes Air Jordan,

217
00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:30.680
I mean, look at the price
of Eric Jordan's a goal for bro.

218
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:36.640
Yeah, I was telling I was
telling my son, isn't an incredible They're

219
00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:38.240
back in the eighties you were tooking
a look at These were shoes that were

220
00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:41.880
about one hundred bucks one hundred and
twenty dollars back in the eighties, and

221
00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:48.920
now they're in the several hundreds of
dollars. Being realistic, that is taking

222
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:53.440
advantage of society in such a disgusting
and gross way, because they're not even

223
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:59.480
they're not even comfortable shoes. They
look okay, they look okay, They're

224
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:03.720
just look regardless, they could be
the most beautiful shoes on earth. They're

225
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:08.279
just shoes, okay. Do you
remember one of the Do you remember one

226
00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:15.400
of the very first basketball shoes of
notoriety that were somewhat expensive, yet they

227
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:22.880
were both for the hoop and the
hardwood and looking pretty cool outdoors. Do

228
00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:30.359
you remember the first leather converse worn
by Julius Irving, Doctor J the the

229
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:37.200
New Jersey Nets and Philadelphia seventy six
ers. They were the white patent leather

230
00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:41.039
with the red arrowhead and the red
star. Yeah, I remember I bought

231
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:45.960
myself a pair of those when I
was growing up. I think I was

232
00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:49.079
like fifteen when I got my first
pair I was working at Sound's Liquor,

233
00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:52.160
but I bought my own. I
got those things for a cool sixty five

234
00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:56.960
bucks. Dude, I pay close
to sixty bucks for my Chuck Taylors nowadays.

235
00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:00.880
Now you understand why I wanted to
beat the crap out of the axel

236
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:04.319
Rows for throwing a cigarette butt at
my brand new white Chucks. There.

237
00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:07.839
I just got. I had to
get it up. Like I mentioned previously,

238
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:11.039
it's just disgusting to me the amount
of money that is out there,

239
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:15.559
regardless, I don't care how short
of a career they have. And then

240
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:18.680
it goes on. They go on
to do other stuff, but they're always

241
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:23.319
going to be making millions and millions
of dollars for people who are just entertaining

242
00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:29.759
other people. Now jumping over to
the billionaire's list on the business side,

243
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:33.440
of course, we all know Elon
Musk number one at over two hundred and

244
00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:38.799
sixty four billion, Jeff Bezos from
Amazon over one seventy seven, the Arnall

245
00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:42.440
and family one sixty eight, to
Bill Gates over one thirty two, and

246
00:19:42.440 --> 00:19:48.880
the list goes on. So you
put all these salaries together, Okay,

247
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:53.119
you put all of them together,
and guess what the money that the Rothchowel

248
00:19:53.240 --> 00:20:00.000
family has is still more than that. Amazing. Now, it's funny because

249
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:07.519
you you mentioned the ass monkeys Musk
and jet bezos. These cats are so

250
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:11.599
concerned. Oh, let's let's I'm
going to have so much money. I'm

251
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:14.880
going to build aircraft so I can
go to the Moon and take some more

252
00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:18.599
of my wealthy friends. True.
Now, yeah, why don't these ass

253
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:22.759
monkeys go ahead and instead of wasting
that money on going to space that we've

254
00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:26.839
already done, and we have a
lot of technology from our our acts of

255
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:30.680
going to space, why don't you
just let the government throw money into that

256
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:33.839
program, and why don't you do
something great as a human being with that

257
00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:37.359
money instead of you ask clowns getting
a bunch of other wealthy has been actors

258
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:41.519
or who have it, who can
afford to go fly around the moon for

259
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:47.039
absolutely nothing. You're bringing nothing of
substance back to us. I mean,

260
00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:51.440
good lord. I was appalled at
Captain Kirk when I heard that he was

261
00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:53.559
going to take a trip with one
of these ass clowns to the moon.

262
00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:56.839
I mean, come on, you
have all that money, yeah, I

263
00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:02.279
mean, these people are planning for
way pass their lifetime. And I understand,

264
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:04.759
I trust me, I understand.
But the fact that I understand doesn't

265
00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:12.079
mean that it's right together. If
they united forces and their capital in just

266
00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:21.000
one goal to end world hunger and
homelessness, just that goal, there are

267
00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:26.319
many more, like ending cancer,
like ending all these diseases for which we

268
00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:32.680
have all these and these agencies like
the Salvation Army, like feeding America,

269
00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:37.960
like direct relief, like Habitat for
Humanity. These companies are there people because

270
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:41.079
the billionaires and all the other companies
don't want to do jack about it.

271
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:45.880
Sure, of course they must contribute, but contribution from these people is a

272
00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:49.519
tax right off. They're gonna get
it back. So it's it's really it's

273
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:52.960
really nothing. Like I said,
it's really disgusting. When we come back,

274
00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:59.599
we're going to talk a lot more
about charitable events of the nineteen eighties.

275
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:03.759
And I got something to tell you. A lot of great eighties music

276
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:07.680
was involved. Oh yes, great
artists with a great cause. Don't you

277
00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:10.279
go anywhere. You keep it locked
and loaded right here at back to the

278
00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:14.599
eighties and will come back with a
smile. He where are you holding my

279
00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:30.400
hand? There's your other hand between
two pillows. Those aren't pillows. Oh

280
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:45.799
oh oh, see that Bears game
last week? Hello game, Hello game.

281
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:51.000
Bears got a great team this year. They're gonna go all the way.

282
00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:53.240
Oh yeah, I ever wish you
could go back to the eighties with

283
00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:59.720
the crazy clothes and those wacky hair
dues. Well, let Tscano and Chang

284
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:08.319
transport you back in time, back
to the eighties. Welcome back to back

285
00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:12.200
to the eighties, Siskonno and Chang
here sitting in. Hopefully we're not getting

286
00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:15.680
you a little bit too somber.
We're just trying to throw some things out

287
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:18.400
there that need to be brought out. That way, everybody is aware and

288
00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:22.240
we can all get on the same
page. But on a lighter note,

289
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:27.359
we're going to dive into some entities
that did great things and helped so many

290
00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:34.160
families and people with musical programs that
delighted our senses and had us crying,

291
00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:38.759
laughing, hugging, and singing along. I'm talking about one, of course,

292
00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:44.559
not one, but two. Live
Aid is one that comes to mind.

293
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:48.160
Sisconno and the US festival Live Aid
was nineteen eighty five. The US

294
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:52.000
festival was nineteen eighty two and eighty
three, correct, but Live Aid was

295
00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:56.599
if you remember Live Aid for those
of you who were never fortunate enough to

296
00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:02.039
attend, but it was a benefit
concert. It was held on Saturday,

297
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:07.200
July thirteenth, nineteen eighty five,
and of course it was a fundraising event

298
00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:12.440
and it was organized by yeah,
definitely, it was organized by Bob Geldof

299
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:18.319
and Midge Urie to raise further funds
for the relief of the nineteen eighty three

300
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:21.960
through eighty five famine in Ethiopia.
And as you know, we just talked

301
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:26.599
about this how all these different you
know, like World Vision and all these

302
00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:32.359
charitable agencies were trying to help Africa. It is said the Live Aid has

303
00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:37.680
been the greatest concert event in the
history of the world. For those of

304
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:41.240
you who also don't know, Live
Aid took place in two different parts of

305
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:44.960
the world at the same time and
they could see each other via a close

306
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:49.079
circuit you know satellite in London at
Wembley Stadium, and it was also held

307
00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:53.160
at John F. Kennedy Stadium in
Philadelphia. And by the way, as

308
00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:57.799
far as crowds on MTV, Chisconnell, yep. The crowds that were there.

309
00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:03.440
London had a capa city of seventy
two thousand people live and Philadelphia had

310
00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:10.920
almost ninety thousand people at that stadium, and that is not counting the one

311
00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:15.480
point nine billion people that actually saw
it throughout the world, over one hundred

312
00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:19.480
and fifteen nations, forty percent of
the world population. We're watching this event

313
00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:25.279
on television. Oh yes, I
know. I was. Me and my

314
00:25:25.279 --> 00:25:30.319
buddies. We're you know, in
high school. Then we watched it from

315
00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:34.799
my house and as I mentioned,
it was televised by MTV. And I

316
00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:37.759
gotta tell you, at a very
young age, you know, I was.

317
00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:41.319
I was very aware of the good
and bad in the world, and

318
00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:47.400
the has and the havenots and the
higher aboves. So as I gathered with

319
00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:51.359
my buddies and we watched live aid
I was taking at a very young age

320
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:56.759
by tears because to see the power
of music and how it brought people together,

321
00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:03.839
and the love of music and that
vibration that that just tickles your soul

322
00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:07.160
and makes the hair stand up on
the back of your neck and makes makes

323
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:11.720
tears drop out of your eyes,
makes you want to hug a perfect stranger,

324
00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:18.039
sing even if you can't sing along. And the money and the vibration

325
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:22.519
that it just it went through everybody, I think like an electrical shock,

326
00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:26.640
as it did for me, because
that was the very first, one of

327
00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:32.119
the very first times that I saw
the power of music creating a prosperity and

328
00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:38.200
bringing a unity that very very few
entities or things do it. It opened

329
00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:44.599
our eyes, it opened our hearts. It brought us to one goal doing

330
00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:48.640
for somebody that doesn't have what we
have, and even if we have little,

331
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:53.480
what part can we do to make
sure everybody is equal? Live aid

332
00:26:53.519 --> 00:27:00.039
I witness some of the greatest musical
acts, heroes of mine, people that

333
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:03.359
I had all their albums and cosettes, and I got to see them live

334
00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:08.319
and every message that you could feel
from their music as they sung out and

335
00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:17.200
played, just to touch that spine
of everybody at the concert or at home.

336
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:22.119
It was chilling, I think to
have experienced it. It's even more

337
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:27.119
chilling when you understood why it was
getting done, and it's even more tear

338
00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:33.839
wrenching when you understand the great individuals
that did what they did for one reason.

339
00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:38.519
Help follow man. I mean to
me, Freddie Mercury is the face,

340
00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:45.319
the face of a hero, the
face of human struggle and fight through

341
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:49.680
tragedy. As you hide your truth
but you're there away from your own fears

342
00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:55.960
and your own problems and your own
demons, because you're there for their minum

343
00:27:56.000 --> 00:28:00.880
mankind. What other great individual could
do that? No other than Freddie Mercury.

344
00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:03.400
I remember seeing led Zeppelin and it
brought tears to my eyes because led

345
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:08.920
Zeppelin they were okay, but they
weren't great. But I mean, such

346
00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:14.559
great bands, bro that were there. Everybody there was sensational. George Michael.

347
00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:18.680
I mean the list goes around,
Duran, Duran, the Rolling Stones.

348
00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:21.799
Yeah, let me mention a few
of the bands, just a few,

349
00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:25.400
because there were so many that were
playing there. They got to play

350
00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:29.079
at least a few songs, or
some even just one or two songs.

351
00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:32.680
But I'm gonna mention some bands that
were there. That's gonna you're gonna say,

352
00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:36.000
really they played there. I had
no idea of Black Sabbath, Run,

353
00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:41.000
dmc rick, Springfield, Ario Speedwagon, Shot Day was there, Howard

354
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:44.880
Jones, Paul Young, Bryan Adams
to be to go without that guy,

355
00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:48.400
well, yeah, well that's a
dick hater of course. The Dire Straits,

356
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:55.160
Simple Minds, the Pretenders, Carlos
Santana, The Who, Phil Collins,

357
00:28:55.599 --> 00:29:00.440
Elton John Paul McCartney and of course
Tom Petty, the Hart Breakers,

358
00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:03.279
Neil Young and I'm Gonna keep going
for a little bit more that Thompson Twins,

359
00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:07.519
Eric Clapton, Crosby Stillson, Nash, Patti LaBelle Holland Notes, Mick

360
00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:15.799
Jagger, Bob Dylan, Keith Richards
and of course David Bowie, You two

361
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:21.759
and Queen to name just a few, but there were so many. They

362
00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:26.039
played either at London at Wembley Stadium
or at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia. It

363
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:33.160
was just something so radical because the
world had gotten together to help out a

364
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:37.480
certain part of the world that was
in need. There was another event,

365
00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:41.119
of course, the US Festival in
eighty three was put together by Steve Wozniak

366
00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:45.000
and Bill Graham, and they brought
it together because they wanted to encourage the

367
00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:51.039
nineteen eighties to be more community oriented
and to combine technology with rock music.

368
00:29:51.640 --> 00:29:55.880
So that was maybe a little bit
different, but definitely Live Aid was an

369
00:29:55.880 --> 00:30:00.759
event that the entire world witnessed.
Over one point nine billion people on Earth

370
00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:06.759
saw this event. We're very grateful
to people that organize them. They have

371
00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:08.759
the ability to organize them, you
know. One of the things that I've

372
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:14.920
started to think what about here?
What can we do as as a community,

373
00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:19.000
And even if it's just to be
on board, and in this case,

374
00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:25.759
we could do something for Ukraine,
you know, maybe not be over

375
00:30:25.799 --> 00:30:29.240
there, maybe not go over there. Maybe we don't have the connections to

376
00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:34.880
get everybody together, but certainly we
can do something here for the good causes.

377
00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:38.960
And one of those is after the
break, we have a very special

378
00:30:38.960 --> 00:30:42.400
guest. We have Susan Freeman who's
here with us. She is going to

379
00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:48.200
be talking to us about an organization
that hits home to you personally. Chang,

380
00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:51.039
maybe you can tell us a little
bit a little bit about that.

381
00:30:51.319 --> 00:30:55.319
She is going to be talking about
an event that she is doing in Canada.

382
00:30:55.440 --> 00:31:00.519
So all you Canadians listening to Back
to the Eighties radio, there's information

383
00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:03.720
regarding the Michael J. Fox Foundation
for Barkinson's Research that is going to be

384
00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:08.720
talked about in just a few Also, a live age sparked off another concert.

385
00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:12.319
I don't know if you remember maybe
some of our listeners. Do some

386
00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:18.480
of you listeners that enjoy country music, Farm made in nineteen eighty five,

387
00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:22.400
Sisconno, do you recall Farm?
Maaide, Yeah, whatevery call is.

388
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:27.319
I believe the people that founded Farm
Maaide was Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp and

389
00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:32.559
Neil Young and Neil Young, Yeah, and they had started they wanted to

390
00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:37.359
help out family farmers here in the
States because they were losing their farms because

391
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:41.160
of mortgage debt. So basically they
wanted to help these farmers because they were

392
00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:45.119
helping a billion people and they weren't
getting the help. Now you know,

393
00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:49.240
it was first brought out about the
devastation to the farmers by Bob Dylan.

394
00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:52.240
Yes, Bob Dylan. He was
the first one that had made statements and

395
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:57.799
comments about family farmers within our own
United States in danger of losing their farms

396
00:31:57.799 --> 00:32:04.680
through mortgage debt. Disgusting that the
backbone of America, hard working people that

397
00:32:04.759 --> 00:32:10.400
work the land that depend on them
getting great food out and vegetables and being

398
00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:15.599
able to take care of America and
themselves, were being denied by our own

399
00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:19.799
government, our own bank entities,
willing to take everything that they had worked

400
00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:24.640
for away because they weren't getting their
almighty dollar. So I think music and

401
00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:30.960
these great causes that were brought up
were with the music put a change.

402
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:34.839
I would like to see in the
way people felt and thought. Maybe it

403
00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:38.480
didn't do much for the higher ups, but I think it did make awareness

404
00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:42.759
and do something for all of us
to be a little bit more aware and

405
00:32:42.839 --> 00:32:47.160
carrying of other people and their problems
rather than just about me. And it's

406
00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:51.759
sad because we could use a lot
more individuals like that, because we live

407
00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:58.119
in a society full of it's all
about me. Egomania is a disease as

408
00:32:58.119 --> 00:33:01.359
bad as cancer. And is that
is the disease that we are going to

409
00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:06.039
talk about in a couple of seconds, correct, my brother, believe it

410
00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:12.640
or not, We have a clip
from Farmaid two gentlemen who were discussing farmaid.

411
00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:15.599
Take a listen to yourself, and
I believe the two gentleman's name is

412
00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:19.039
Rusty and Zeke. So go ahead
and take a listen to this clip that

413
00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:27.799
we have all the way from nineteen
eighty five at Farmaid. Zeke, Hey,

414
00:33:27.839 --> 00:33:31.400
buddy, Yeah, Well, what
do you think of these great cos

415
00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:36.759
I'm gonna having a play. I'm
having the time of my life because Alabama

416
00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:39.519

guess what best in my life is.

417
00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:43.440
I'm gonna hear Ricky Lee Jones and
a little bit in a little while,

418
00:33:43.480 --> 00:33:46.319
followed by bb King, Man,
I just can't believe. I'm I'm scared

419
00:33:46.400 --> 00:33:50.359
to help, scared to the god
Neil Young there. I'm so glad he

420
00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:53.039
left that group of them do be
smoking hippies and all that harmony. I

421
00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:59.880
got tears coming to my eyes because
I with all these fanzy moll Pappy and

422
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:04.079
my mamma would be losing the farmers. That dirty trenches of the damn United

423
00:34:04.200 --> 00:34:07.400
States government. They rusty. This
this kind of remind me of music is

424
00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:10.960
great now. I'm you know,
the Grateful Dad is coming up, as

425
00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:15.400
well as Tom Patty and the Heartbreakers. But listen, this whole situation kind

426
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:22.960
of reminds me of that movie with
Van Damn Claude Damn where he was living

427
00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:28.880
in a farm. Remember that John
Goddamn Day. He boy could do the

428
00:34:28.920 --> 00:34:35.400
splits better than your sister. Man, I'll make your sister split. She's

I think which were Nelson hits the
stage and Patties is going to whoa

434
00:34:58.280 --> 00:35:02.440
like an eagle making the commando.
I feel all Arnold schwarzeneggered out. Let's

00:35:02.440 --> 00:35:07.719

Grateful dad. Hippies buck out.
They smell like a piegsrep. I'll

00:36:06.840 --> 00:36:10.639
tell you right now. All right, Rusty, you gotta be quiet well

450
00:36:10.679 --> 00:36:14.480
and Jemman is about to go on
and I've got to hear him saying,

451
00:36:14.719 --> 00:36:17.119
this is all we quiet. Let
me hold your hand, hold my hand,

452
00:36:17.159 --> 00:36:23.880
and hold my macromated shorts. There
was a clip from Rusty and Zeke.

453
00:36:24.519 --> 00:36:29.079
They attended you know, far made. That's the same two country boys

454
00:36:29.079 --> 00:36:32.000
that are always working on our fiarro
I noticed on this video clip there they

455
00:36:32.039 --> 00:36:35.639
got mullets. Don't go away.
This is back to the eighties radio.

456
00:36:35.960 --> 00:36:43.320
Now back to good, wholesome,
politically correct entertainment. Oops rog station Now

457
00:36:43.920 --> 00:36:53.280
back to the eighties with Tescao and
Cheng. Welcome back. This is back

458
00:36:53.320 --> 00:36:57.000
to the eighties radio. This is
just Kinda from just Kindo Chang and with

459
00:36:57.079 --> 00:37:00.400
us today we have a very special
guest, one of our lovely listeners,

460
00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:05.679
Susan Freeman, is with us today
and she's got something special to talk to

461
00:37:05.800 --> 00:37:08.119
us about. In particular, a
special event that she's holding up now.

462
00:37:08.119 --> 00:37:14.039
Susan, I know that you are
up north from us, from Los Angeles,

463
00:37:14.199 --> 00:37:16.159
way up north. Talk to us
a little bit about where you're from

464
00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:20.840
and what you're all about over there
again, Susan Freeman, and I'm I

465
00:37:20.920 --> 00:37:23.000
live in Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada, So it's just a straight line

466
00:37:23.039 --> 00:37:28.599
all the way up from southern California. I'm normally in my day job,

467
00:37:28.639 --> 00:37:31.280
I'm a travel agent. I have
been one for twenty seven years. But

468
00:37:31.480 --> 00:37:36.920
in nighttime job, I transform into
you know, I crimped my hair and

469
00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:43.880
I do the whole eighties thing.
I've actually decided to have a benefit for

470
00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:50.000
the Michael J. Fox Parkinson's research
holding an eighties event. Back to the

471
00:37:50.119 --> 00:37:52.559
back to the Enchantment of the eighties
is what it's called. So it's basically

472
00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:58.719
incorporating the dance name from the Back
to the Future movie, which I absolutely

473
00:37:58.760 --> 00:38:05.519
loved, and also kind of telling
everybody that we're going back to that enchantment

474
00:38:05.559 --> 00:38:08.440
of that time period. You know, I've got things on the line here.

475
00:38:08.480 --> 00:38:10.840
I don't want to talk too much
because I haven't dropped the information.

476
00:38:10.840 --> 00:38:15.280
Because I'm sure my friends are dying
to know what's going on. But I've

477
00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:17.199
got a few people. I'm talking
to BC DeLorean and I'm talking to,

478
00:38:17.639 --> 00:38:21.679
you know, various DJs that can
do something special with the music and so

479
00:38:21.760 --> 00:38:23.960
forth. So that's to be held
on November fifth of this year, which

480
00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:30.280
actually coincides to when time travel was
invented. That's right, according to Marty

481
00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:34.920
McFly and Doc Brown. I know
that you are a hardcore eighties fan.

482
00:38:35.360 --> 00:38:39.159
Are there any type of eighties locations
like a bar and grill or something?

483
00:38:39.360 --> 00:38:44.760
I know that here nearby we have
a very special We have a few places

484
00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:47.039
here in southern California, but one
of them in particulars called the Totally Eighties

485
00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:51.440
Bar and Grill in the city of
Fullerton. Do you have anything like that

486
00:38:51.480 --> 00:38:55.320
where they have maybe a club or
where they play cover bands or something like

487
00:38:55.360 --> 00:39:00.480
that. No, Unfortunately, sadly
we don't. We don't actually have any.

488
00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:02.920
I mean, back in the late
eighties early nineties, we had a

489
00:39:02.920 --> 00:39:07.000
lot of clubs that featured live music, that a lot of people that did

490
00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:12.679
eighties cover bands and so forth,
and somewhere after eighty nine it all died.

491
00:39:12.800 --> 00:39:15.920
So there's nothing here that represents at
the eighties or somewhere where people like

492
00:39:16.079 --> 00:39:19.679
me can go, because I'm sure
there's a lot of us. I've been.

493
00:39:20.119 --> 00:39:23.800
They've had the production of the Awesome
Eighties Problem that came through Vancouver maybe

494
00:39:23.840 --> 00:39:27.480
ten years ago, and me and
my friend went and I thought, you

495
00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:30.199
know, this is a great idea. This is something that everybody needs that

496
00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:35.519
enjoys that time period and that genre. But we don't. And if I

497
00:39:35.559 --> 00:39:37.199
had all the money, if I
had, if I win the lottery,

498
00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:43.039
I will open one. I swear, I promise, because it's it's sad.

499
00:39:43.039 --> 00:39:45.880
They don't have anything of any genre
here. So it's even though it's

500
00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:49.960
a big city and everybody knows the
city from you know, the Olympics and

501
00:39:50.039 --> 00:39:53.159
Expo and whatnot, we just don't
have that type of entertainment here of any

502
00:39:53.199 --> 00:39:59.119
kind. So I'm jealous when I
see other places that have cafes and bars

503
00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:01.920
and clubs that are just they just
don't. There's nothing here. The good

504
00:40:01.920 --> 00:40:07.519
thing is they've got people doing a
lot of good things for your communities.

505
00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:10.000
And one of those big things is
coming up right in November fifth. So

506
00:40:10.199 --> 00:40:14.480
hearing the word enchantment, so that
brings me to the movie. Back to

507
00:40:14.519 --> 00:40:17.760
the future, of course, and
if we all remember Marty's mom and dad,

508
00:40:17.880 --> 00:40:21.320
they went to the Enchantment under the
Sea dance. So is this going

509
00:40:21.360 --> 00:40:25.400
to be sort of that type of
theme. Yes and no. The only

510
00:40:25.400 --> 00:40:29.280
reason I've named as I wanted to
keep them back to the future theme in

511
00:40:29.320 --> 00:40:34.480
there somewhere, it's it's just enchantment
to me, means exactly what the eighties

512
00:40:34.519 --> 00:40:37.880
mean to me. I might you
know, I'm sure I'm not the only

513
00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:40.599
one out there that just wishes that
I could go back for you know,

514
00:40:40.639 --> 00:40:44.480
an hour. I don't even have
to stay there, just for an hour

515
00:40:44.559 --> 00:40:46.519
or so. It's going to have
back to the future themes, but it's

516
00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:52.400
also going to be the party itself
or dance or prom or whatever you want

517
00:40:52.400 --> 00:40:59.480
to call it is going to be
a very simplified type of scenario. I

518
00:40:59.519 --> 00:41:04.519
want people people to feel like they've
stepped into a time machine and actually went

519
00:41:04.559 --> 00:41:07.400
back. And I want to,
you know, make it look like,

520
00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:10.360
you know, every basement we've ever
been to, you know, for a

521
00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:14.239
party back then. I want to
make it look like maybe a little bit

522
00:41:14.280 --> 00:41:16.039
like the proms we used to go
to in high school. I mean I

523
00:41:16.119 --> 00:41:21.679
was in high school. I'm fortunate
enough to have lived through the eighties as

524
00:41:21.679 --> 00:41:24.639
a teenager into adulthood. I went
and started high school in eighty one.

525
00:41:24.679 --> 00:41:29.199
I graduated eighty five, and the
a's ended when I was nineteen or twenty.

526
00:41:29.320 --> 00:41:31.559
So I mean I had the you
know, I had the I could

527
00:41:31.559 --> 00:41:35.480
go to the bars, I could
do this, and I had the high

528
00:41:35.519 --> 00:41:38.440
school dancers. So the whole party
is just going to make when somebody walks

529
00:41:38.440 --> 00:41:42.840
in, I want them to say, wow, it's like it's like we're

530
00:41:42.920 --> 00:41:45.360
back there. Yeah, yeah,
exactly. I want to feel. I

531
00:41:45.400 --> 00:41:46.480
want the smells. I want all
that. You know, when you hear

532
00:41:46.519 --> 00:41:51.159
a certain song, you can smell
what you're eating that night, or I

533
00:41:51.159 --> 00:41:53.199
mean I went to when out in
eighty four. I went to Duran Durant

534
00:41:53.639 --> 00:41:58.360
concert and to this day, if
I hear any Duran Durant song, I

535
00:41:58.440 --> 00:42:02.800
smell that hair jel to that put
my hair right. Well, it wasn't

536
00:42:02.840 --> 00:42:07.000
just aquanite, was depth, gel
you name it. I mean I used

537
00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:09.480
at all. But that's what I
want people to experience. I want to

538
00:42:09.719 --> 00:42:14.760
I want them to experience, you
know, that that feeling of what it

539
00:42:14.800 --> 00:42:16.440
was like when they were in high
school or you know, when they lived

540
00:42:16.440 --> 00:42:19.480
through it. I mean a lot
of people there are, and I love

541
00:42:19.519 --> 00:42:22.880
it that there's a lot of people
who were born in the As said Gi,

542
00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:24.840
you know, I wish that I
was, you know, a teenager

543
00:42:24.960 --> 00:42:28.400
rack in the eighties. They love
the music and all that, and I

544
00:42:28.480 --> 00:42:30.880
want to make that accessible. I
want to bring them into that time period

545
00:42:31.039 --> 00:42:35.559
and show them what it was really
like. The fundraiser itself is actually going

546
00:42:35.599 --> 00:42:37.920
to be um. I haven't figured
out all the details that it's just in

547
00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:43.320
the early stages, but what I'm
thinking about doing is having a certain donation

548
00:42:43.440 --> 00:42:50.039
that would include their entrance into the
dance party. Prom um. There are

549
00:42:50.119 --> 00:42:52.800
going to be prizes. I can't
say what they're going to be, of

550
00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:54.719
course, yeah, but they're all
going to be giveaways and such. Um.

551
00:42:55.480 --> 00:43:00.960
But that's what's going to be.
So I'm actually I've joined Team Fox,

552
00:43:00.280 --> 00:43:07.239
which is the organized the department in
the organization that allows people everyday people

553
00:43:07.599 --> 00:43:12.679
to create a fundraiser of any kind. And once I announced it on Team

554
00:43:12.719 --> 00:43:15.719
Fox, then people will be able
to go on donate and with that donation,

555
00:43:15.119 --> 00:43:20.079
then they'll be able to get a
ticket into the problem. It's going

556
00:43:20.119 --> 00:43:22.079
to be a great thing to be
able to help you guys out for that

557
00:43:22.159 --> 00:43:25.039
event in the sense of just spreading
the word, so you can count on

558
00:43:25.159 --> 00:43:30.880
us on that and hopefully you guys
can can have a full packed house and

559
00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:35.440
also you guys got to send us
pictures in the whole nine yards. Let

560
00:43:35.440 --> 00:43:38.119
me ask you, what's your favorite
Duran Duran song or what's this song that

561
00:43:38.280 --> 00:43:44.400
just brings you back? It would
be the reflex Randan, That's the one

562
00:43:44.440 --> 00:43:45.800
to take. That the one I
get chills, That's the one where I

563
00:43:46.119 --> 00:43:50.519
brings tears to my eyes. That's
where I smelled the hairspray. I just

564
00:43:50.599 --> 00:43:53.800
remember that night like it was yesterday, and that I was only sixteen seventeen

565
00:43:53.800 --> 00:43:58.599
at the time. That was many
moons ago, But I remember the night.

566
00:43:58.639 --> 00:44:01.119
I remember coming home after fool what
I did when I ate the minute

567
00:44:01.159 --> 00:44:06.079
dot song comes on, I get
all that comes back sure immediately. Yeah.

568
00:44:06.239 --> 00:44:08.679
Is it incredible that Duran Duran is
one of those bands that voice wise,

569
00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:14.239
they haven't really changed, which is
no hard to come by because most

570
00:44:14.280 --> 00:44:16.920
bands, most frontmen, you get
up there in years and your voice isn't

571
00:44:16.960 --> 00:44:21.519
the same. But they're one of
the few bands that they just they're the

572
00:44:21.599 --> 00:44:25.239
same as always right to the end. I've seen def Leppard as well about

573
00:44:25.719 --> 00:44:30.000
Don't Faint. I've seen him about
thirty one times, and actually I did

574
00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:32.559
a mini road trip down in California, what was two thousand and five.

575
00:44:32.599 --> 00:44:37.199
I saw him in Fresno, San
Jose, Fresno and San Bernardino and I

576
00:44:37.280 --> 00:44:40.239
was with friends and we saw So
I've seen him. I've seen his voice

577
00:44:40.320 --> 00:44:43.960
the way it was in eighty three
when I first discovered them. Yeah,

578
00:44:44.000 --> 00:44:45.440
all the way until now, and
it has changed. You're absolutely right,

579
00:44:45.440 --> 00:44:50.880
but Simon Labon, he's right on
top. Are there a lot of eighties

580
00:44:50.880 --> 00:44:55.280
fans around your community that you have
been able to spread the word? Well,

581
00:44:55.280 --> 00:45:00.800
I have a lot of friends that
are with me on this weird ride

582
00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:04.480
through the eighties all the time.
My friend Christine, I mean, she's

583
00:45:04.599 --> 00:45:07.400
right on top with me with everything. I mean, we discuss the party

584
00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:10.880
and then we automatically going to remember
when we did this and remember the show

585
00:45:10.880 --> 00:45:15.239
when we saw this. So I
do have friends scattered that admit they like

586
00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:17.320
the eighties. A lot of people
don't like to admit that they like,

587
00:45:17.800 --> 00:45:21.800
you know, the eighties and oh
the clothes were bad and the hair was

588
00:45:21.880 --> 00:45:24.559
bad and this was not yet everywhere
you go. Yeah, I went to

589
00:45:24.599 --> 00:45:30.679
the bank yesterday to continue to send
the deposit over for the venue Eighties music,

590
00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:34.519
went shopping the other day. Eighties
music every long weekend. We have

591
00:45:34.719 --> 00:45:37.480
here every radio station eighties long weekend. So tell me that there's not a

592
00:45:37.559 --> 00:45:43.079
market for eighties out for somebody who
likes it, whether you like to admit

593
00:45:43.119 --> 00:45:45.360
it or not, that's right.
No, the eighties are back. A

594
00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:49.519
lot of those styles are coming back. I saw a few people in high

595
00:45:49.559 --> 00:45:53.480
school wearing fanny packs. That's interesting, and a couple of guys with mullets.

596
00:45:53.679 --> 00:45:58.199
Go figure. Here in southern California, I'm seeing the mullets coming back

597
00:45:58.280 --> 00:46:00.800
even around here, and I'm seeing
lots of ladies. Will understand when I

598
00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:05.800
tell that they were stir up pants. They were yeahs basically with the little

599
00:46:06.039 --> 00:46:07.840
loops under the feet or whatever,
and those were coming back. I saw

600
00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:13.280
him the other day. So well, listening to where can people listening to

601
00:46:13.320 --> 00:46:19.559
the show, where can they get
more information both on yourself as the organizer

602
00:46:19.639 --> 00:46:23.639
and on the event itself. Is
there a website, an email, or

603
00:46:23.679 --> 00:46:28.440
a phoneiber that you'd like to give
out or just where can they reach you?

604
00:46:28.639 --> 00:46:30.360
Well? I haven't actually announced it
on Team Fox yet because we need

605
00:46:30.360 --> 00:46:34.679
to get logistics sorted out, such
as the venue and so forth. So

606
00:46:34.760 --> 00:46:37.360
that's going to be on May.
That will be on the Michael J.

607
00:46:37.519 --> 00:46:40.920
Fox or Michael J. Fox Parkinson's
organization website. That will be listed there

608
00:46:42.039 --> 00:46:45.960
as an event so as of May
first. At that point, people can

609
00:46:46.039 --> 00:46:51.960
visit the site and they can see
all the information that they need to do

610
00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:55.519
what we're requesting and you know what
the dance is going to be all about,

611
00:46:55.760 --> 00:46:59.159
and they can make the donation there
and then we can take it from

612
00:46:59.159 --> 00:47:00.400
there or they can send me email
through there. It will all be on

613
00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:05.960
the site coming first. Excellent.
Do you have a special memory from the

614
00:47:05.960 --> 00:47:09.719
eighties that is that kind of a
memory that says, um, you know,

615
00:47:09.760 --> 00:47:15.199
if I had one chance, with
the real possibility to go back and

616
00:47:15.280 --> 00:47:19.199
do something over again, whether because
it was good or whether because it was

617
00:47:19.280 --> 00:47:22.119
bad, you want to change it. Is there an event, a moment,

618
00:47:22.119 --> 00:47:25.440
a memory that you'd like to relive? Oh my gosh, wow,

619
00:47:25.639 --> 00:47:30.639
Because this is something that we've asked
many of our listeners and a lot of

620
00:47:30.679 --> 00:47:35.280
them had responded in you know,
different ways. Obviously a lot of them,

621
00:47:35.320 --> 00:47:37.679
well, you know, I wish
to relive my time with my parents,

622
00:47:38.679 --> 00:47:43.480
or I wish to go back to
some special concert, or just the

623
00:47:43.559 --> 00:47:45.639
fact that I wish to go back
and and just hang out and be at

624
00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:50.199
home or be with my friends.
Right, I think that's that would be

625
00:47:50.199 --> 00:47:53.199
it right there. I think that, you know, school dances were fun

626
00:47:53.239 --> 00:47:58.159
because the music was to me,
it was I loved every song that came

627
00:47:58.199 --> 00:48:00.760
on that they played. So to
go be able to go back to a

628
00:48:00.840 --> 00:48:02.800
school dance or even believe it,
or not to be able to go back

629
00:48:02.800 --> 00:48:07.920
to high school for maybe you know
a few days or we just to relieve

630
00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:09.840
that, you know, open my
lockers, see my concert posters in there

631
00:48:09.920 --> 00:48:14.079
where my concert t shirts to school, that sort of thing. So that

632
00:48:14.519 --> 00:48:16.119
to me is probably I mean,
there's many, don't get me wrong.

633
00:48:16.239 --> 00:48:21.239
I just you're asking me to pick
one, and that's probably the biggest one.

634
00:48:22.079 --> 00:48:24.559
But you know, there's concerts,
there's oh my gosh, you name

635
00:48:24.599 --> 00:48:27.599
it. There's a million things.
But that would be it. That would

636
00:48:27.599 --> 00:48:29.800
be the biggest thing. To be
able just to go back and hang out

637
00:48:29.840 --> 00:48:32.920
and just absorb it all in and
once again and relive the soundtrack of our

638
00:48:32.960 --> 00:48:36.920
lives. Well, Susan, it's
been great having you on. This is

639
00:48:36.920 --> 00:48:39.320
a special segment that we're going to
be having once a month with different listeners.

640
00:48:39.320 --> 00:48:44.320

670
00:54:02.320 --> 00:54:08.119
That's back the number two the Eighties
Radio at gmail dot com. We are

671
00:54:08.119 --> 00:54:15.800
continuing to talk about events in favor
of sponsoring or helping people in need from

672
00:54:15.840 --> 00:54:19.599
back in the eighties. I wanted
to talk about quickly about a song that

673
00:54:19.800 --> 00:54:25.000
was written by Lionel Ritchie in the
song we Are the World. So We're

674
00:54:25.039 --> 00:54:30.840
the World is a charity single originally
recorded by USA for Africa in nineteen eighty

675
00:54:30.880 --> 00:54:35.480
five. It was written, of
course by Michael Jackson Lionel Richie. It

676
00:54:35.639 --> 00:54:39.440
was produced by Quincy Jones and Michael
Jackson for the album We Are the World,

677
00:54:39.679 --> 00:54:44.400
which by the way, had more
than twenty million copies sold. If

678
00:54:44.400 --> 00:54:47.840
you'll remember a lot of those artists
that were involved, like Lionel Ritchie himself,

679
00:54:49.119 --> 00:54:52.280
it was Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Kenny Rogers, James Ingram,

680
00:54:52.559 --> 00:54:55.960
Tina Turner, Billy Joel, of
course, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross,

681
00:54:57.039 --> 00:55:00.719
Diane Warwick, Willie Nelson, al
Jero Brew Springsteen, Kenny log And Steve

682
00:55:00.800 --> 00:55:05.519
Perry, Daryl Hall, Huey Lewis, Cindi Lauper, Kim Carnes, Bob,

683
00:55:05.599 --> 00:55:08.440
Dylan, Ray Charles, and then
in the background they had tons of

684
00:55:08.559 --> 00:55:13.400
people including, believe it or not, dan Ackroid. I don't know if

685
00:55:13.400 --> 00:55:15.119
you've ever seen the video, but
dan Ackroid is in that video. He's

686
00:55:15.199 --> 00:55:19.199
way in the back. Dan Ackroid
was a singer too though, remember the

687
00:55:19.199 --> 00:55:22.719
Blues Brothers. That's right, he's
musically inclined. Yes, I just never

688
00:55:22.840 --> 00:55:28.239
expected him to be on on this
single because it was for what it was,

689
00:55:28.760 --> 00:55:30.159
and you can, of course,
you had all the Jackson Brothers,

690
00:55:30.840 --> 00:55:37.320
a lot of people involved in the
making of this great song. The release

691
00:55:37.519 --> 00:55:43.639
that came out on MTV. It
was just huge and it was an instant

692
00:55:43.760 --> 00:55:49.599
hit. I mean instant hit if
you recall, Yeah it was and it

693
00:55:49.960 --> 00:55:52.880
uh oh, there was this.
There was a few versions. I mean

694
00:55:54.320 --> 00:55:59.800
the heavy metal singers also put one
all together. So I think there was

695
00:55:59.840 --> 00:56:04.960
a a few groups that came together
and had certain songs that were Yeah,

696
00:56:05.079 --> 00:56:08.320
they were there were You're absolutely right. There were a bunch of other events

697
00:56:08.480 --> 00:56:14.559
that had musicians involved, like the
metal one that you talked about that Dio

698
00:56:14.800 --> 00:56:16.639
was in it talking. As a
matter of fact, if you go on

699
00:56:16.719 --> 00:56:21.440
YouTube you can find these. But
there's one that's hilarious to me because they

700
00:56:21.480 --> 00:56:25.760
were all the heavy medlers of Sweden. And the funniest thing about this is

701
00:56:27.079 --> 00:56:30.360
when I first saw it. And
I don't mean this with disrespect to anybody

702
00:56:30.400 --> 00:56:32.079
who came out in that video,
but I thought it was a parody at

703
00:56:32.119 --> 00:56:38.000
first, because although the song was
good, the voices were just out of

704
00:56:38.159 --> 00:56:43.159
pitch, and I thought, oh
my gosh, these guys can't be I

705
00:56:43.239 --> 00:56:46.360
don't recognize any of them except for
one, and that's from Europe, you

706
00:56:46.440 --> 00:56:52.679
know, the group Europe. They
were there, but everybody was off key,

707
00:56:53.320 --> 00:56:57.280
and I was going, what the
heck is this a parody? And

708
00:56:57.440 --> 00:57:00.440
no, it was the real I
remember seeing that. The first thing I

709
00:57:00.519 --> 00:57:04.519
thought is, Wow, these people
had better alcohol and drugs than we metal

710
00:57:04.559 --> 00:57:08.719
heads here in States. Because these
guys are gas looped and terrible. They

711
00:57:08.800 --> 00:57:14.800
sounded like a bunch of tires flattening
or screeching, or dogs that got their

712
00:57:14.880 --> 00:57:19.000
paws stepped on. It was horrendous. It was horrendous. I agree with

713
00:57:19.039 --> 00:57:21.280
you. I thought it was a
parody. If I would have seen it

714
00:57:21.360 --> 00:57:23.400
on Saturday Night TV, I thought
it was an S and L skit,

715
00:57:23.519 --> 00:57:28.159
that's how bad it was. The
one that was done here in the United

716
00:57:28.239 --> 00:57:31.719
States. I believe that was called
here in aid. That's here a G

717
00:57:31.920 --> 00:57:37.960
A R N and then aid.
Then the one of course in Sweden is

718
00:57:37.000 --> 00:57:42.760
called Swedish Metal Aid. And you
know, just just for the fun of

719
00:57:42.800 --> 00:57:46.000
it, I'm gonna let you hear
a little bit of Swedish metal aid.

720
00:57:46.159 --> 00:57:57.880
It's called give a help in Hand
def Leppard. Oh sorry, up,

721
00:57:59.000 --> 00:58:07.079
hey, that's enough of that ship
you guys. Hey, hey, we

722
00:58:07.559 --> 00:58:20.519
live a child, you do learn
so I So when now the dude you

723
00:58:20.719 --> 00:59:08.559
have some down peace you its ends
bold? What world he'll love being?

724
00:59:14.400 --> 00:59:51.679
He'll hen and help us all survived? Hello, Hello, we mun saying

725
00:59:52.559 --> 01:00:16.679
the world and help us all survived. And who there's a dream and we

726
01:00:17.000 --> 01:00:31.199
spread the world that we all can't
say. There's a sun that was sun

727
01:00:32.360 --> 01:00:53.239
for so regardless of how bad they're
singing must have been. Back then,

728
01:00:53.280 --> 01:00:57.480
they had a great time and they
did something to help out a lot of

729
01:00:57.639 --> 01:01:00.800
people, just like today, and
just like today, you know what chain

730
01:01:00.880 --> 01:01:04.599
deetown inside. That's why we're doing
something. You know, we may not

731
01:01:04.800 --> 01:01:07.840
have the money that some of these
billionaires have, but what we do have

732
01:01:08.079 --> 01:01:13.639
sometimes can be even more priceless,
which is the ability to bring a smile

733
01:01:13.719 --> 01:01:17.039
to somebody when they're down, the
ability to make somebody feel that they matter.

734
01:01:17.360 --> 01:01:22.119
And you matter. You that are
listening. You matter for whatever it

735
01:01:22.280 --> 01:01:24.639
is that you're going through in life, for whatever it is that you have

736
01:01:24.760 --> 01:01:30.320
been forced to go through during these
times. And I'm speaking about in particular

737
01:01:30.440 --> 01:01:32.920
the people in Ukraine. You matter. And if we can bring a smile

738
01:01:34.000 --> 01:01:37.440
to your face and make you forget
a little bit or just a moment of

739
01:01:37.840 --> 01:01:43.920
the realities that have impacted your life
lately, that is our contribution. So

740
01:01:44.159 --> 01:01:49.880
please please do your best to get
involved with any charity to help somebody in

741
01:01:50.039 --> 01:01:52.760
need. Hey listen, it's been
great having you on the show. Thank
